Synopsis[]

Marge and Homer's marriage is tested when they travel to a tropical island to compete for a million dollars on Marge's favorite reality competition show.

Full Story[]

The Simpson family is watching a reality television show called The Amazing Place, which hosted by Tag Tuckerbag. Bart and Lisa insist that Homer and Marge go and try out for the next season, and when Marge has had enough of their begging Marge tells her kids to "can it", she shows them their past tryouts for the show being rejected every time.

Lisa edits out a video for them at Springfield Squidport, where the tryouts are being held. Bart and Lisa bring recordings of Marge and Homer's rejection letter openings to the producers. Later, at home, Marge opens the mail for and find out with Homer that they have been selected for the show.

Unfortunately for them, at the first trial, #SuitcaseStowaway, they immediately lose and are #Shelliminated as a result, only to find that they cannot leave for the next six weeks of the recorded show, in order to not let anyone know who won. They will be staying at Courtyard by Airport hotel, having to hide the truth from everyone, including their own children.

While Marge is miserable for being away from home, Homer is happy with all the accommodations they are given. Homer manages to change her mind, while the kids are digging out a pool at home, but when they find the post production room, Marge discovers that Homer found her stuff but instead of winning, he ate a chocolate bar; she gets irritated as a result.

In a black and white setting, Marge and Homer meet the fifth week eliminated couple, where Marge makes Homer jealous by flirting with Nick just before the next day. At this point, a couple can re-enter the show, but only if they swap partners with a other couple, the #DeadWeightDrop, to compete in #MangoTango, and Marge selects Nick.

Marge is the one that messes up forgetting to fellow step two of the challenge, which involves salting the rims of the glasses for cocktails they are mixing and they get back home, where Homer repeats Marge's screw up speech on loop. As a result, The Amazing Place has its first gay winners. Afterward, Marge, Homer and the kids enjoy themselves by watching Anger Watkins and Skip Angry's Anger vs. Angry show.
