### Introduction

The episode begins with Adam's Mom dropping Adam off at Go! City. Adam then turns to the camera, and welcomes the viewers to Go! City, he states it was abandoned for Go! Animate City, a currently unknown and unseen location in the series. After that, the intro begins.

### The Contestants Introduce Themselves

The first contestant that shows up is Cianan Irvine, and is happily greeted onto the show, until regretting it a few seconds later, after finding out that Adam is hosting it.

Afterwards, the Anderson family (consisting of Boris, Caillou, Doris and Rosie) show up, Caillou questions why Boris auditioned, after Boris said he called hacks if he didn't win. After Adam introduces himself as the creator of grounded videos, Boris states that he is his new lord and savior.

After that, Canadian Scout and Gaby turn up, with Adam not happy about it. He states that he hates them for not doing grounded videos, with Canadian Scout and Gaby walking off screen immediately after.

Then, Nicky Animations turns up, with Adam even more unhappy. Nicky says that he hopes he can make friends and not get bullied, which Adam replies to "Yeah, you're going to be bullied here, bud." Nicky walks off, questioning what type of host Adam is.

The Marquez family (Dora, Miguel and Veena) then turn up, Caillou walks in, and awkwardly talks to Dora, wishing that they're on the same team. Once the conversation ends, Caillou feels better about competing on the show, and says it won't be that bad. He later regrets it after being grounded by Boris seconds later.

After the Marquez family walk offscreen, Luke and Brent are then welcomed onto the show, they both say that they wish of getting far, which even Adam agrees to. Stefie B walks in next, and she is glad to be on the show, Adam agrees, as he is also glad to see Stefie B on the show.

Lastly, Leo and Leo's Mom are the final 2 to be introduced, Leo sees Caillou, and runs offscreen to meet him. Adam questions Leo's Mom on her name, she states that she doesn't know her name, and tells Adam to refer to her as Leo's Mom "for now". Adam is confused about this, but immediately dismissed it, as it was time for the teams to be picked.

The teams, known as The Grounders and The Video Makers are both created by Adam. Boris is mad that he was not picked onto The Grounders, as he does a lot of grounding. Adam immediately cuts him off, and ends the episode.
