The girls team hit Pigeon beach to try to tout their $135 tickets but struggled to get sales as the location was deserted, with the girls squabbling after Emma and Shazia had pitched different places.
Meanwhile, the boys managed to rack up trade in the centre of Antigua and sold all of their 16 tickets.
