So, Uh This Is My Team? kicks off the season by introducing the new cast to Pahkitew Island, which is going to be their home during their stay in the competition. Pahkitew Island's various features are shown; and trust me, it's nothing like Camp Wawanakwa. No showers, no communal bathroom, no canoes, no mess hall and biggest of all: no CABINS. Meaning the contestants have no where to stay. All that remains from Wawanakwa is the confessional. This means that the contestants' first challenge is to build shelter for themselves, to protect against the harsh and seemingly normal elements of Pahkitew Island. Fortunately, the teams aren't just forced to endlessly roam around until they find something. Everything they need is in a giant junk pile in the middle of the challenge site. The first part of the challenge is to get the materials you need, and the second is to actually build the shelter. This is a pretty solid challenge overall. It's a good idea to have the contestants literally create their own reward, and it displays the hardships of living on Pahkitew Island well. I also like how well it displays each team's mechanics, and it does a good job of showing who's good at what...if they're good at anything at all.

Best Performer : Jasmine, who takes charge of her team and has them work hard. Worst Performer : Beardo, who actually doesn't do anything useful other than make sound effects, which doesn't help anyway. Overall Rating : 8/10. It introduces the cast well, and is a balanced challenge. Having the moose stampede through the grounds was unfair, though.
