Synopsis
Four pairs of best friends are invited to play some silly games. But there's a twist; after one challenge, the pairs are put into The Mixer, a giant randomising thingummy that splits everyone up and churns out some new pairs, former enemies turned fast friends. A "Frenemy", in the nomenclature of the show.
These frenemies are given more challenges, and mixed up further. The last pair standing make the final, where they're reunited with original friends to battle it out in the final. The winners take home silver friendship medallions, the losers go for a ride on a coal wagon and get gunged.
