It's on. If you tuned in tonight, you saw the race of the century begin from Times Square, New York as the two teams of Beg, Borrow & Deal set out on the journey of a lifetime. If you weren't able to check out tonight's premiere episode, here's what went down: Within minutes of a 5:30 AM wake-up call, the contestants found themselves standing in Times Square, the list of 40 tasks laid out before them for the very first time. The two squads, the Red team (Julian, Tony, Aubrey, and Katie) and the Green team (Josh, Kelli, Juliet, and Bubba), immediately took off, trying to get the jump on their opponents. Reality set in quickly though, as the contestants soon realized that with no money and no cell phones, getting out of Manhattan is much easier said than done. When Juliet realized that through her friend Summer Sanders they could accomplish Task #17 (Get your picture taken with an Olympic medal around your neck), she couldn't even call her. Juliet and her teammates had to convince total

The episode begins with Team Exodus failing to kick a field goal in an Arena Football League stadium in Huntsville, Alabama (Task #20). After they fail this task, they get a ride to a local television station to host the sports segment of the news (Task #41). Greg is chosen to do this task since his job deals with broadcasting. The station would not let him anchor the evening sports, but allows Greg to host the taped sports segment on the news the next morning. With another task completed, Team Exodus then heads to Nashville. Meanwhile, Team Cake is in Maryland at the Baltimore Ravens training facility where they are able to collectively outkick a starting NFL punter (Task #25). In Nashville, Team Exodus stops by the Tennessee Titans facility to find that most of the players are out of town. Eventually, they are able to track down running back Eddie George and wait for him at his house. Team Exodus is able to get their picture taken with Eddie George and his Heisman Trophy that

After both teams each eliminated a team member, it was time to start looking for another task to accomplish. Team Cake reached Washington D.C. after failing to complete the task of beating a Professional WNBA basketball player (Task #9). For being the first team to reach Washington D.C., they received a reward of a car for 12 hours. Meanwhile in Tennessee, Team Exodus was trying to get a female boxer to box one round versus a team member (Task #19). Unable to convince her manager, the team took a brief break to regroup, and attempted to work another angle on the manager. This technique worked, and Team Exodus was able to set up this task. While waiting for a boxing ring, the team was met by their newest teammate, Eric, who was voted out of Team Cake. After meeting with their new team member, Doug stepped into the ring and lasted a whole round with a professional female boxer. While on their way to Cleveland, Team Cake stopped in Pittsburgh to get dinner, which was awarded to bo

The episode starts off with Team Exodus running to the winner's circle of the Riverdown Race Track in Cincinnati to get their picture taken with the winning horse (Task #24). They accomplish this task and now lead Team Cake 7-4. Meanwhile, Team Cake is in Cleveland at a strip club. The owner of the club drives them to Toledo, where they meet up with Charles' friends. Team Exodus, fresh from the horsetrack, still have a ride, so they head to Indianapolis to attempt a task with either the Indiana Pacers or the Indiana Fever. They meet Pacers Head Coach Isiah Thomas, but he is unable to help with their tasks, so they wait for a representative of the Public Relations department for the NBA and WNBA teams. They are able to set up a task with the Indiana Fever (Task #9). Greg goes up against Natalie Williams, and the first player to reach seven points will win. Like Charles in a previous episode, Greg loses to Natalie Williams. They then head to Chicago. Meanwhile, Team Cake heads
