Popstar TV: Pressure

In this episode, Nadine is laughed at because she is a land creature, and in an attempt to prove land creatures' superiority over sea creatures, challenges them to stay above the surface for at least a minute.

Plot
While Nadine and Sarah sit down to watch the clouds, she challenges Sarah to a mountain-climbing contest, and she wins after a head start. Sarah challenges Nadine to a running race to the Jollibee, and he wins by the same means as Nadine. Nadine boasts that land creatures are better than sea creatures, saying that they have way more skills and abilities than any water breathers. Sarah and his friends stubbornly reject this allegation and point out things that Nadine can't do. She is angered, and takes off her helmet and her suit. She eventually can't breathe, and uses a pickle jar as a substitute helmet. To settle the issue, she challenges Aga Muhlach, Sarah Geronimo, John Lloyd Cruz and Gabby Concepcion to go above the surface for 1 minute, which they agree to do but almost chicken out at the last minute. Unwilling to let her win, they go up to the surface and find it to be pretty easy until they are attacked by a pair of hungry seagulls. Nadine rushes up to the surface to find her friends in danger, and beats up the seagulls to save her friends. Back on the ocean floor, the two sides come to the realization that everybody, sea and land creatures alike, are great at something, but nobody's great at everything. They then start cheering for being sorry to each other and Sarah and Nadine making up with each other. The seagulls are then shown all beaten up and sarcastically saying "Hooray" too.
