Race to the Bowl

Race to the Bowl is the first episode of Algicosathlon Season 1, as well as the 1st event. It also happens that the first person to be eliminated is Violet, after placing last in the event. It's also the 1st ever Dancingfb18's video to have skits, which are animated shorts featuring the competitors and others.

Skit
Aqua, Cyan, Soap and Spring are talking in a picnic desk, with no worries. They are interrupted by Salmon, who begs for an autograph of Aqua, and later by Red, who says about something they needed to go to quicky, and asks them to follow him. In the building, Navy and Maroon are complaining about Aqua's win, and also about Cyan following her like a dog. Blue hears them and fights with Navy, before Gold interrupts them for her dramatic monologue.

Everyone in the building starts getting bored, and Dancing appears out of nowhere, and announces his new series. Tan gets interested, and Lime tries to show his "intelligence" after explaining what is an Algicosathlon. After all the preparation, Dancing starts the first event.

Event
The first event of the series is revealed to be Race to the Bowl. All the athletes are trapped in a spinning circle, but they get soon released. No one immediately rushed to the bowl, but, after some failed trials, Magenta and Maroon get to it, and, soonly after, Yellow and Lime also end the course. There was a bit of a hiatus after it, but Aqua, Purple and Pink complete the race in 5th, 6th and 7th places, respectively. Lavender and Green complete the 1st half of the challenge placements some seconds after.

While the music Nekozilla from Different Heaven starts, Tan gets to reach the bowl in 10th place, and there is a long hiatus after that. But, after 30 seconds of failed trials, 6 of the 8 people got in it in a matter of seconds. They were Blue, Navy, Gold, Red, Brown and Cyan. At this point, the bottom 2 was in a dramatic situation. Either Orange or Violet was left behind first. And this battle was pretty long: 1 minute for the final person jump in. At the end, it was Orange who got in the bowl and placed 17th, living for 1 more day.

Trivia

 * It is the 1st episode of Dancingfb18's Algicosathlon Series, as well as the 1st episode that features a skit.
 * Yellow and Violet are the only people to have this event placement being the same as their overall placement at the end of the season.
 * However, Violet's RTTB placement is the ultimate cause of her overall placement, leaving Yellow as the only one that has this fact by coincidence.
 * The females had an average placement of 9.77, and the males had an average placement of 9.22, despite a female winning the event.
