Season 1
There's no such thing as bad publicity, and Brilliance decides Trexx and Flip need some: for Flipside, a fake date with a teen soap star, and for the pacifist Trexx, a feud with Gangsta-Rapper, B-ICE. Faking it never did anyone any harm now did it, boys?
Except B-ICE does not know the meaning of the words "fake feud" and, even after accepting a written apology, decides enough is enough - nobody calls his mum names in a newspaper! The fake feud is now a very real one.
Meanwhile, Flipside's fake-date, Amber, is not too impressed. She agreed on the publicity stunt only to find there's a terrier called Flipside in Yorkshire more famous than "rap's latest happeningest guy." What's worse, her hyper-fit boyfriend decides Flip needs a lesson in not trespassing. B-ICE and his Posse turn up to mash Trexx and none of the press turn up for the fake date. Looks like another fine mess Brilliance has gotten them into...
