==Spring Break episodes== Like most MTV shows of the period, ''Remote Control'' taped episodes on-location during the network's annual ''Spring Break'' event. The gameplay was altered to account for the absence of the regular studio's equipment and props as follows. * Contestants sat either in beach chairs on platforms that extended over the edge of a swimming pool, or in director's chairs near it. * The nine channels were represented by college-age men and women in swimwear and numbered T-shirts. When a channel was selected, that person removed his/her shirt to reveal a sash marked with the channel name. * In some episodes, the contestants were given trays of snack food items (such as hot dogs) at the end of the first round and received 5 points for each one they ate before the second round ended. Once the extra points were tallied, the game ended and the two lowest scorers were pushed/thrown into the pool by stagehands. Other episodes followed the same elimination rules as the regular show, with the TV going "Off the Air" and the lowest scorer being tipped/pushed/thrown into the pool, followed by a lightning round to decide the winner. * For the grand prize round, the winner lay on a floating lounge chair in the pool and had to identify the artists in nine music videos, each displayed for four seconds on a single monitor.
