She puts them in teams and makes them compete against each other in a variety of ridiculous challenges, voting members off each night until only one winner remains. The question is though, what exactly does the winner win???

After an unfortunately light dinner, the teams made their way back into the living room for Beer Pong. A long table had been set up in the middle of the room with 10 cups on each end arranged in a triangle with the points towards the middle. There were three coolers nearby.
“I don’t know what Beer Pong is,” Daigo said, looking at the coolers apprehensively, “but please tell me that it doesn’t actually involve beer…”
“Sad to say it does, bro,” Jon looked sad.
“Nooooooo!” Akihide fell to his knees. “I don’t want to drink anymore!” He clutched at Jon’s leg. “Don’t make me drink anymore!”
“Hey, no one told you to get wasted in the jungle yesterday,” Gackt said as he walked by. “I, for one, could go for a drink.”
“So how do we play this?” Chacha asked.
“Since we can’t have a proper tournament with 3 teams,” Mary explained, “Shinpei, Yasu, and Ju-ken have graciously agreed to provide a 4th team for this challenge. Their placings in the tournament will have no bearing on their respective teams points.” She moved to the table and produced a handful of small white ping pong balls. “The rules of Beer Pong are as follows. In each turn, two members of your team will attempt to throw a ping pong ball into one of your opponents' cups. If you successfully get a ball into a cup, the opposing team has to remove the cup from the table and drink the contents. If both team members successfully get both balls into separate cups in one turn, both cups are removed. If both balls in one turn go into the same cup, three cups are removed.”
Jon leaned over and whispered something to Daigo and Akihide.
Mary continued. “The winning team will be the team with cups still left on the table after the other team has lost all of theirs. Any questions?”
“Only about 50,” You mumbled.
“The first teams up will be the blue team against our makeshift team of Shinpei, Yasu, and Ju-ken!”
The two teams moved to the table and Mary flipped a coin, declaring that the blue team would go first. The game began and there were several rounds of no one managing to get a ball anywhere near a cup. Mary’s helpers were scrambling all over the living room, trying to retrieve wayward ping pong balls.
“Damn, this is hard!” Jun-ji exclaimed, sending another ball careening off towards the kitchen.
You stepped forward and mentally lined up his shot. Tossing the ball with the perfect amount of force to reach its target without going beyond, it sailed cleanly through the air and landed directly in one of the opposing team’s back cups. Everyone, even the opposing team, cheered.
Ju-ken picked up the cup and fished the ball out of it. “Bottom’s up!” he raised the glass to his teammates then chugged it in one go.
Yasu tossed a ball and it flew beyond the table into the couches, but Shinpei’s ball bounced right into the blue team’s front cup. Jun-ji reached to grab the cup, but was stopped by Hyde’s hand on his arm.
“I got this,” the singer said. “You guys worry about shooting.” He grabbed the cup and drained it all at once.
After that, usually at least one person per turn was getting a ball into the other team’s cup. You and Jun-ji both got balls into separate cups in the same turn a few times, leaving the makeshift team with only 2 cups left while the blue team still had 5. They were feeling pretty confident until Ju-ken and Yasu both got balls into the same cup on the blue team’s end…which was quite a feat since they were having problems standing still. Hyde selected three of his team’s cups and pulled them towards himself.
“You sure about this?” You asked, brow furrowed. “You’re kind of a small guy…”
Hyde just glared at him and shot-gunned the three glasses in a row without flinching. He still wasn’t showing any signs of the now 8 cups of beer he’d downed.
“2 to 2!” Mary announced. “It’s a close one!”
Jun-ji stepped forward and pressed his hands together, closing his eyes in deep concentration. He picked up a ball and sent it flying, landing it directly in one of the other team’s remaining cups. You took his place and made a praying gesture. His ball went straight into the other remaining cup. The room erupted into cheers.
“Boo!” Shinpei called, picking up one of the glasses and drinking it as Ju-ken and Yasu jan-ken-pon-ed for the final cup.
“What happens to our remaining beer?” You asked.
“Oh! I totally forgot to say!” Mary exclaimed. “The losing team has to finish all of the winning team’s remaining cups!”
“Boo!!!” Shinpei said again, thumbs down.
The table was cleared and reset for the match between the red and green teams. No one on the red team looked particularly thrilled to be around alcohol again so soon.
“Yo, just remember what we talked about,” Jon whispered to Daigo and Akihide. “We got this, bros.” He put his fist out and the three men fist-bumped before turning to the table. Gackt stood next to a nervous-looking Chacha, his arms crossed. Miyavi was dancing to music that must only exist in his head.
Mary’s coin flip decided that the green team would go first and Gackt stepped forward. He raised his arm to line up his shot when Jon started air humping the other end of the table and Daigo and Akihide flailed their arms around.
Gackt lowered his arm. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Distractions are legal as long as they don’t touch the table, cups, or ping pong balls!” Mary called out.
Gackt rolled his eyes and raised his arm again. Completely ignoring the idiots across the table, his ball sailed through the air and landed directly in the front cup on the red team’s end. Chacha wasn’t as successful.
The red team just looked at each other for a minute before Jon sighed. “I’ll take one for mah bros,” he said, closing his eyes and downing the cup as fast as he could.
Daigo stepped forward, preparing for his first shot. His hand was visibly shaking.
“You suck!” Gackt yelled. “Miss it! You’ll never get it! You’re worthless! You’re scum! You’re an idiot! Everyone in this world hates you!”
“Whoa,” Chacha said, “I think that might be a bit much.”
It worked, though, as Daigo’s ball went nowhere near the green team’s cups. Akihide didn’t do any better.
Right as Miyavi went to throw, all three members of the red team started screaming as loud as they could. Miyavi just screamed as loud as he could right back at them, his ping pong ball landing directly in a cup. Before the red team could react, Gackt landed his ball in the same cup.
“Fuck me!” Jon exclaimed. Grudgingly, the three red team members each grabbed a cup and emptied it.
Having played many a game of Beer Pong, Jon easily scored a hit on his turn, but Daigo again missed by a mile. Miyavi chugged the cup before Gackt and Chacha could even ask who was going to drink it.
Jon pulled his teammates aside. “Ok dawgs, we gotta step up our game here,” he said. “You know what to do.” Daigo and Akihide nodded their heads determinedly and they turned back to the table.
As Chacha prepared for his shot, everyone in the room (except for Mary, who had seen many a Breakerz concert on YouTube) were shocked to see Daigo and Akihide start making out messily at their end of the table. Akihide had his hands fisted in Daigo’s shirt as the singer ran his tongue all over the shorter man’s face.
Gackt rolled his eyes and Miyavi cheered. Chacha tried to block them out of his vision as much as he could before sending his ball straight into one of the opposing cups. Right as the ball reached the rim, Jon lunged forward and started blowing into the cup with all his might, knocking the ball back out of the cup and onto the table.
“Hey!” Gackt and Chacha exclaimed, looking to Mary.
“Legal!” she replied. “As long as he doesn’t physically touch it!”
The red team high-fived each other in celebration. Unfortunately, their celebration was short-lived as the blowing trick failed to work again after that. It was only a couple more rounds of the red team failing to get any balls into any cups and the green team being highly successful before the last red team cup was off the table, leaving them with 6 of the green team’s remaining cups to finish off as well. Luckily for them, they were buzzed enough at this point to be all for drinking more.
“Final round!” Mary announced. “Blue team against the green team!” The table was reset and the coin was flipped, blue team receiving the first turn.
The first few rounds were evenly matched between the two teams, keeping their cup counts even throughout. Hyde continued to do all the drinking while his teammates did all the throwing. You was having troubles keeping himself from being disturbed by Miyavi’s now-completely-naked dancing across the table from him and kept missing shots. Luckily, Jun-ji was making all of his. Chacha had managed to make Jon’s blowing trick work once, but Gackt was visibly very distracted by Hyde sexily running his hands over his body every time it was Gackt’s turn.
It wasn’t long at all before the blue team was down to only 1 cup while the green team still had 3. You picked up a ball, looking nervous, when Hyde stepped forward and put out his hand. “I got this,” he said.
“Are you crazy?” Jun-ji asked. “You’ve had 19 beers!”
“Yeah, and?” Hyde looked at him, unimpressed. “Your point?”
“You probably can’t even walk in a straight line, let alone throw in one!” You exclaimed.
Hyde just sighed and put out his hand again. “Just give me your damn balls. I got this.” You and Jun-ji had no choice but to cooperate, backing away from the table to give Hyde room.
“Well, he does act and sound like he’s fine,” Jun-ji whispered to You.
You shook his head. “No way. There’s no way he could possibly still be with it after 19 beers.”
Hyde put both ping pong balls in one hand. Without hesitation, he threw one and then immediately the other, both of them sailing cleanly through the air and both landing in the middle cup on the green team’s side.
“No fucking way!” Yasu exclaimed from the sidelines.
“Blue team wins the Beer Pong tournament and also wins the day overall!” Mary shouted, clapping excitedly.
You and Jun-ji rushed forward to hug Hyde, who just shrugged. “Told you I got this,” he said. Then he promptly fell over.
RED - 20
BLUE - 30
GREEN - 25
That night at the rose ceremony, Akihide, Jun-ji, and Chacha were voted off of their teams.
“Did you see what Hyde did today???” You exclaimed. “No way I was kicking him off after that!” Hyde just snored in reply.
“Miyavi has amazingly proven himself useful,” Gackt grudgingly admitted. Miyavi attempted to kiss him but was shot down by a death glare from the older singer.
“Me and Daigo are bros, yo!” Jon put his arm around the other man. “Bros gotta stick together!”
