471"Breaking and Entering"December 2, 2008
The season begins with Sarah packing and arriving at the mansion. She cannot enter the mansion yet, because it appears to be locked so she has to wait outside. Amber B. arrives shortly after, and the two become close friends, having mutual interests. Whitney and Tiffany are the next to appear. Amber M. and Ailea arrive afterwards, and Kayla is the last to pull up. Since no one seems to have the key, the girls start looking for it all around the place, which quickly sets Amber B. in bad mood. She takes a stick and breaks a glass door at the back of the mansion. The gang enter the luxurious mansion in awe and everyone quickly spots their new bedrooms. Amber M. is a bit unsatisfied because no shoes fit her. Eventually, the girls head to a bar to celebrate their new home, but they get kicked out of several places for fighting with Kayla being the core of trouble. The next day, Amber M. accidentally offends Ailea who later instigates a huge scandal against Amber. She apologizes, and everything is forgiven for the first time. Not wanting any drama this time, the girls go out to dinner. There, strangers start making comments that upset Kayla. She quickly gets angry and throws a drink, which leads to her getting kicked out.
482"I Got Your Backbone"December 9, 2008
The episode continues from where the last one ended. Kayla, still mad about the situation, is standing outside of the restaurant and shouting, which embarrasses all girls and especially Tiffany, when Kayla calls her out for not having her back. The girls get home, where Kayla bursts into tears while explaining why she blew up. She also opens up about her tough childhood, but Tiffany and Whitney console and ensure her that they are true friends from now on. The next day, the separation in the house becomes somewhat defined: the Ambers set up 'The Amber Show', where they gossip about the girls in the confessional, especially Ailea. Sarah longs for men and she encourages the girls to go on speed dating. Ailea decides to go, but she is nervous as she has been dating online for a long time. While thinking of question for the event, Kayla and Ailea sit in the kitchen and Ailea tells Kayla that they might be talking about her, which quickly sets Kayla off. This all leads to a huge argument between her and Tiffany. Ailea is considered the cause of Kayla getting mad, so a meeting is held, where she explains herself. The girls go speed dating later. Almost everyone finds men for the evening, with Sarah being one of the exceptions which largely disappoints her.

Amber M. has to leave the house temporarily to celebrate her friend's wedding in Minnesota. Sarah and Amber B. get into a little misunderstanding with a hook-up Sarah met which makes her reconsider their friendship. Amber B. hooks up a local, Greg, at a club, and later invites him into the house, which makes Sarah annoyed. Going out in the evening, Kayla irritates Whitney by making lesbian jokes. Whitney wants her to say sorry, but Kayla refuses. Getting totally mad, they clash in the kitchen and start throwing tableware at each other in rage, which destroys their friendship. Later, all girls head to a stripper club to earn money. Kayla is nervous so she starts drinking non-stop, leading to her fall unconscious. Tiffany sees her off to hospital, and the episode cuts off on the cliff-hanger.
504"The Naked Truth"January 6, 2009
Kayla returns from the hospital safe. She opens up about her previous relationship, which influenced her insecurity. Tiffany invites Marcus, her new hook-up, home. Later, Kevin, Ailea's online hook-up, invites all the girls to eat out, where the Ambers, who obviously disapprove of Kevin as he is too old for Ailea, make silly comments, which greatly upsets Ailea. Amber M. and Ailea have a conversation which sets Ailea in rage. Later on, Amber B. discovers that Greg lied to her and decides to break their relationship at a club. Meanwhile, Kayla's dress tears and she gets upset. Tiffany is tired of Kayla's constant complaints and scenes and shouts at her. The argument takes from the limo to the house when Tiffany heard Kayla and Amber B. talking, resulting in a quarrel.
515"The Tipping Point"January 13, 2009

The girls head to a lingerie shop to give away leaflets in underwear for money. Kayla is low on money so she wants to by any means earn as much as she can and she is buying extra underwear for a bonus. Amber M. decides to get the bonus herself so she pays more, depriving Kayla of it and upsetting her. In the evening, the girls go out. The Ambers get into an altercation with locals in a bathroom and tell the girls about it. This escalates into a huge street fight. Tiffany gets especially mad and shouts at the enemies from the top of the limo. Embarrassed by her behavior later on, Tiffany vows to never act like that anymore. Influenced by the latest events, the girls want no more drama. Therefore, Whitney, Tiffany, Sarah and Ailea go to a bar to have fun, while the Ambers and Kayla go to a quiet restaurant. Drama doesn't let the latter move around, though, because Kayla refuses to give a lot of tips. Amber M. and Kayla argue and consequently fight in the car, making Amber B. pull over. The fight goes on outside, involving the girls even choking each other. At home, the girls start discussing the situation, but Kayla is sent packing.

They find Tanisha and wreck her radio program, introducing themselves and making her support their idea. She agrees and plays everything out just as the Ambers wanted, intimidating and confusing the rest of the girls. She revealed that it was just a prank then and left. Later on, the girls go out. There, Amber B. gets too drunk to even move, and Amber M. makes out with the surf trainer, which disgusts the girls.

5711"Make a Run For the Border"March 3, 2009
The girls are packing up for Cancun and everyone is very excited. Upon arrival, they are treated with free shots and other means of fun. Amber B. gets mad, however, as Whitney spilled a drink on her expensive purse. Once again, misunderstanding rises between the girls, bringing the grudges up. The girls arrive in a hotel to receive their suite. It apeears to be a two-storey, luxurious suite with a pool atop and a nice view on the city. The next day the Ambers go to explore the city, while the Fab 5 lie on the beach and meet locals. By dinner, the company gets back together and tension, once again, is brought up because Amber M. wants to make it clear why the girls dislike her and Amber B. so much, but no one is in the mood to talk about it. Whitney warns everyone that she will flip out if everyone goes on talking about the situation non-stop. Tiffany gets mad at Amber M. for trying to wreck their dinner and throws some harsh words and leaves with Sarah and Ashley. In the evening, all girls head to a bikini contest. Ashley and Sarah are willing to win, while Ailea and the Ambers only participate for fun. Sarah gets shocked when her and Ashley lose to a local girl. Tiffany also gets upset because the MC blamed her for throwing ice, which she did not do. Whitney tries to find the MC to apologize to Tiffany, but to no avail. The situation is only fueled when Amber M. is somewhere on the stage, unaware of the drama going on with the Fab 5, while Amber B. is avoiding them. Outside of the club, tensions reach the limit and Whitney, along with Ailea, start screaming at Amber M. and blaming her for the contest drama. Amber M. goes from confused to angry to furious in no time and screams back at Whitney, who threatens her before Amber M. takes off her shoe and yells that she will hit Whitney with it if she bothers them. Whitney charges in and grabs a screaming Amber M.'s hair, while Ailea cheers her on and Tiffany's expression turns to horror at what is happening (Ashley and Sarah are on the fringe, not attacking Amber M. but not holding back Whitney, while Amber B. is shown taking care of a bigger priority than helping her friend: finding a shoe she lost while running around outside the club). The fight is worsened when Amber hits Tiffany, who was trying to help, and falls onto the ground, getting kicked by Ailea and Whitney.
5812"The Cookie Crumbles"March 10, 2009

The fight is broken up and a shocked, injured Amber M. is taken back to the hotel and given her own room; Amber B. is horrified that she didn't help her friend or have any idea what happened, and forgets about her stupid shoe in order to rush over and stay by Amber M.'s side. The Fab 5 return home shortly after and look for Amber everywhere, as a delusional, enraged Whitney rewrites the history of the fight and smiles savagely as she tells everyone she's not done kicking Amber M.'s ass; Whitney waits by the door for Amber M., but finally gives up and goes to sleep. The Fab 5 talk about the fight at breakfast the next day: Ailea lies that she kicked Amber M. herself (which the video footage disproves) and the group cackles that maybe the show will let them send the Ambers home, but Tiffany's sober, deflated comments make it clear she's the one part of her group who is aware they're going to pay a price for their actions. Amber M. gets some pain pills (she has some bruises but no broken bones) while the police appear that night to talk to Ailea about what went down. She throws Whitney under the bus, and in a separate interview Amber M. also ID's Whitney as her attacker but alsos ays she doesn't want Whitney to be jailed. The cops tells Whitney she should leave Cancun, but the producers show up before that and tell her that her actions mean she has to not only end her vacation, but she has to fly home and pack up and leave the house as she's being expelled from it. Whitney leaves, and the girls go to supper out later on. Amber M. picks up on Sarah and Ashley's deliberate lack of support and leaves the table sobbing. Amber B. goes to be with her, and Tiffany finally breaks ranks by responding to Ailea's insults of Amber M. by telling her to shut up and saying she's going to go help Amber M. They convince her to have a good time during the remaining time in Cancun. When the girls get back, a house meeting is held because Tiffany is done with Ailea's shitty attitude. Amber M. asks Ailea why she attacked her for no reason, and Ailea pathetically says that she has reasons but isn't willing to talk about them and would be happy to expand on why she did that later on. Ailea says in an interview her "apology" was insincere and in the meeting, Amber M. tells Ailea she's full of it and doesn't believe anything she says. Amber M. then tells Ailea to leave both the vacation and the show for good, and Ailea packs up her stuff and departs.

Notes:      Whitney is removed from the house,      Ailea is kicked out of the house by Amber M.

Everyone is getting along, dancing, taking pictures and having fun. Back at the house, Tiffany invites her brother to come. Amber M. wants to get to know him. When he comes, she falls asleep and lets him touch her. Later, when he is gone, professional chefs come into the house to cook exotic food as the last supper together. Amber M. comes up to Tiffany to say that she took her brother's actions offensively. Tiffany gets upset and then blows up at the supper because Amber M. cannot say correctly where he touched her. The supper is wrecked. The next day, Tiffany and Amber M. make up and forget all their grudges. Since it's the last day, the girls decide to destroy the house.

Amber B. says that she is not going to assault anyone on the Reunion. The girls revisit the drama of the last days and Amber M. and Tiffany argue even more. Afterwards, Ailea and Whitney come up onto the stage and Amber M. and Whitney argue about the Ambers secluding themselves. The Cancun fight is brought up and Perez disagrees with the Fab 5 who think it wasn't that bad. Perez asks the purpose of The Amber Show, and Amber M. reveals that it definitely wasn't made to make everyone else angry. Amber B. apologizes to Ailea for talking about Kevin badly. Kayla then comes up onto the stage and quickly gets into a heated argument with Ashley who found her comment to be racially insensitive, which leads to a screaming match and then even a fight between the two. Later on, Perez brings up all the dates the girls had had. Noah is ready to be back with Sarah and Greg revisits his and Amber B.'s relationship, confirming that they did have sex.
