1	"The Arrival"	October 1, 2005	101
Ten teens are flying to a class eco-adventure to Palau on a small plane with a pilot. During a storm, the plane is struck by lightning, destroying one engine, and it crash-lands on a tropical island. Everyone is alive, but they're stuck on an island with nothing but freeze dried food, an airplane, camping gear, and each other. The pilot and three of the students (Abby, Jori and Ian) leave to look for help, but they return a few hours later having found nothing.
2	"Quest for the Quest for Fire"	October 8, 2005	102
The pilot and the three students leave again on a longer search for help. Daley and Nathan fight for the leader's role in his absence. Nathan tries to make a fire by using wood and friction and becomes stubborn by saying that his way is the only way of getting the fire started. Melissa finds matches but runs into the ocean on a dare from Taylor and Eric, making the matches useless. Meanwhile, Daley and Lex search for a suitable campsite; Daley concludes that she has found one despite the wet ground -- until Lex points out that leeches have attached themselves to Daley's leg from the ground moisture. Nathan forces everyone to keep trying his way of building a fire until he finally concedes defeat, at which point Jackson unveils his lighter. Lex uses a hot stick from the fire to burn the leeches off Daley.
3	"It's Lonely at the Top"	October 22, 2005	103
After a restless first night of sleep, the group decides on a secret ballot to choose the leader. Daley takes charge of the food and decides to exaggerate the amount left until after the election. Nathan tries to find food in the jungle but falls from a tree while trying to climb it. Jackson and Lex find him unconscious but unhurt. Melissa and Taylor get into a fight when the battery on the videocamera runs out and seek Daley's help in settling it, but Jackson finally points them to Lex's find of a solar-powered battery charger on the plane. In the vote, Daley and Nathan vote for themselves, Jackson doesn't vote -- and everyone else votes for Jackson as the leader.
4	"Not a Drop to Drink"	November 5, 2005	104
The group on the beach is running out of fresh water. Daley and Eric search for a source of water, while Nathan designs a method to capture water condensation. In the end, Nathan's method produces about a half-cup of water, while Daley's digging in the leech-infested grass strikes an underground spring, thus solving the water problems. Jackson does not agree on becoming leader, until Melissa talks him into it. Jackson then assigns chores: Daley is in charge of rationing the food and water, Nathan of organizing food searches in the jungle, Melissa of the lighter and the fire, Eric of hauling water from the spring, and Taylor of keeping the batteries charged. Lex uses Jackson's iPod to create a sound system using the plane's speakers.
5	"A Fish Story"	November 19, 2005	105
With the dried food running out, Nathan, Daley, and Lex have to find food in the jungle. Nathan tries to prove himself by climbing up the tree he previously fell from. Meanwhile, Jackson tries to help out by catching fish, with little success. Eric fakes an ankle injury in order to avoid work altogether, and Melissa carries water for him. Jackson finds a series of three messages in his tent that help him to finally catch fish (use a hook, fish in rocky water, use shiny stones). Nathan succeeds at climbing the tree, only to retrieve 6 coconuts. Then, Daley and Lex show him the other fruit they found, which is plentiful (bananas, mangoes, etc.), and Nathan is embarrassed for not listening to them. At the end of the episode, everyone is seen full after eating all the fruit and fish. Eric belches. Taylor belches like a man and she, Melissa, and Eric laugh. Daley tells Nathan that, even though he didn't listen to her, his effort in climing the coconut palm was very brave. Jackson thanks Lex, whom he thinks left him the notes on how to fish, but Lex looks confused -- and then Lex gives Taylor an earring that he found in the boys' tent, which was part of one of the clues (and identifies Taylor as their source). Taylor winks at Jackson.
6	"The Pits"	November 26, 2005	106
Daley is fed up with Taylor because she isn't doing her share of the work. Meanwhile, Lex finds a signal kite that he and Nathan build together but is destroyed due to Nathan's recklessness with the flare gun.
