Girls v. Boys (GVB) is a reality show that has aired recurringly on The N since July 2003. GVB pits teams of adolescent boys and girls against each other in physical competitions. There have so far been 4 seasons: GVB:Tampa, GVB: Hawaii, GVB: Montana, and GVB: Puerto Rico. It is produced by New York-based Dancing Toad Productions.

[edit] The Games

At first, anyone between the ages of 16 and 18 are asked to audition. The second season on, Dancing Toad usually received/s tens of thousands of auditions. They manage to break it down to 3 boys and 3 girls (4 boys and 4 girls in Puerto Rico and "Montana") and send them to a house (campsite in the first season), usually with some ocean clearing.

The show then shows the competitions as well as the debacles between the two teams, both internally and externally. The purpose of the competitions is to attain a prize (it has varied from season to season, but in Puerto Rico it was $50,000 for each winning team member and a back to school wardrobe for Aeropostale). Each competition earns the winners of the competition a set amount of points (ranging from 100 to over 500 in the final event) and the team that earns the most points wins.
