The Episode Guide

A weekend in four acts. Dress codes are part of the show.

Episode 01
Thursday

Meet the Cast

Everybody arrives, gets settled, and eases into the weekend. Pajamas, food, drinks, games, confessionals, and the first night of everybody getting comfortable.

Dress Code

Pajamas, lounge sets, robes, slippers — cute and comfortable.

Episode 02
Friday

Incognegro in the Smokies

Friday is for the moonshine tour, undercover fits, and a night outside the cabin. Come dressed like you’re trying not to be recognized. Think wigs, shades, hats, fake mustaches, trench coats, detective energy, celebrity-in-hiding, or anything that makes you look suspicious for no reason.

Dress Code

Worst disguise / undercover energy.

Episode 03
Saturday

Trust Issues

The first half of the day is for brunch, recovery, and doing absolutely as much or as little as you want. Later that night, everyone changes into all black for dinner and a night where trust is tested, stories may not add up, and somebody might know more than they’re saying.

Dress Code

All black.

Episode 04
Sunday

The Final Take

The final morning is simple: light breakfast, coffee, packing up, final laughs, and a small gratitude moment before checkout. Nothing too deep — just ending the weekend on a good note.

Dress Code

No dress code. Come comfortable.
