There are 5 beams to cross with obstacles on each. The whole time they were doing the stunt, water would be raining down on them. The two men and the two women to reach the end and release a flag the fastest would advance. It's wearing a rat hat for the second stunt. Contestants have to stick their head in a Plexiglas box with rats. While they had their heads in the box, they would have to use their hands to reach into a cage containing 24 rats and put the white rats and the black rats in separate cages. The three contestants to sort the most rats in two minutes would advance to the finals. For the finale, as two semi-trucks drove one behind the other at over 50 miles per hour, contestants would have to collect three flags from a plank jutting from the back of the first truck, then jump from the plank and land on the cab of the second truck. The contestant to complete this stunt the fastest would win the $50,000. Written by K.P. Manning See less
