Notes
- First Challenge: The Applicator, the contestants had to stuff as many 'green card applications' in bins as they could while being stopped by the 'Border Patrol'. The one with the lowest total was Amy
- Second Challenge: The Wall of Fortune, the contestants had to throw all of their babies over the wall and then themselves climb over the wall. The one who did it last was Red.
- Final Challenge: The American Dream Crusher, the two who lost the challenges, Amy and Red, had to go through a course which involved various obstacles as well as the Border Patrol. Red was the first one to finish.
- Elimination: Are You Smarter Than an Immigrant, the two remaining contestants were asked questions from the USA citizenship test. The first one to get it right wins. Since Red won the last challenge, he was asked a question first, which he got wrong. Amy was then asked a question which she got right, meaning Red was eliminated
