Last week, we finished up the Qualifier Rounds with a boatload of finishes. Now it's on to Universal Studios Hollywood as we take over Main Street with a new extended Semifinals Course. Only the top 15 and top 3 women will advance to the National Finals in Las Vegas.

But that's not all! Because the fastest two will face off each night in a race up the Power Tower for a Safety Pass, which will allow a runner a second chance at the first or second stage at the National Finals.

- Shrinking Steps
- Lunatic Ledges
- Tilt-a-Whirl

- Salmon Ladder
- Corkscrew

A few songs, a few singles, a good time?

First up on the block ... fresh from the Fast & Furious saga, actor & model Tyson Beckford! His lucky? ladies...
- #1: Justina Caputo (orthodontic tech who plays beach volleyball)
- #2: Anisa FArrow (Las Vegas behavioral therapist)
- #3: Nicole Niestemski (yoga teacher who's learning to play the ukulele).

ROUND 1: Justina calls herself a Triple Scorpio who believes in love at first sight. Nicole hates it when her partner gets jealous. Anisa says that her ex would miss her. Anisa thinks he's an athlete. Nicole thinks he's a model. Justina agrees with... Anisa.

ROUND 2: Nicole & Justina are most confident in a bikini, while Anisa is most confident in one of his t-shirts. Anisa describes herself as cake, Nicole a vegan maple donut, and Justina a red velvet cupcake. Everyone still can't place a name to a face.

ROUND 3: Nicole's "special skills" include being good with her hands and is proud of her smile and her butt. Nicole finally knows who he is, but does that get her the date?
- TYSON CHOOSES: Justina

That was fun, wasn't it? Let's do it again with the one, the only Carmen Electra! Her three hopefuls...
- #1: Nathan Verdugo (Michigan marketing director)
- #2: Mark Harris (Las Vegas real estate agent and hip-hop producer)
- #3: Daniel Colvin (Ohio Army veteran & realtor)

ROUND 1: Carmen wants them to compare themselves to rollercoasters. Mark went with Colossus, Nathon Typhoon, and Daniel Top Thrill Dragster. Nathon is stumped, Mark thinks she's a Pistons cheerleader, and Daniel says she's one of the Pussycat Dolls.

ROUND 2: Nathon's perfect morning is cozy, cuddly, and full of coffee. Mark's perfect afternoon is infrared sauna, good lunch, and great sex. Daniel's perfect evening is "you, me, and Cabernet". We're still stumped.

ROUND 3: Nathon didn't ride motorcycles for a long time. Mark went to Cuba to smoke cigars. And Nathon nails her.
- CARMEN CHOOSES: Mark

No community bonus this round, as the Hiking Pals lead, 40-0.

The Hiking Pals lead, 40-20, when they picked Our Bodies - The oil-prone areas of the face that includes the forehead, nose and chin are often known as what: a) G-zone b) T-zone c) Q-zone?

BONUS ROUND for the Pisciottas: Ashley didn't know that the Wham-O Company first released the slingshot. Keely didn't know that the Tigris & Euphrates flow throw Turkey. After a pass, Brandon didn't know that a Schipperke was a purebred.

This is not a game. This is not a movie. This is a $5000 getaway. Get to the exit, keep the money. But it won't be easy, because there is a team of elite pursuers looking to stop you.

Sonya registered nurse 2008 Nissan 350Z; $62,000

Lex his brother just passed 1987 Mazda RX7; $6200

Adrian customizer 2001 Chevrolet Corvette; $18,600

Each driver will put their own whip on the line in order to get the money to the exit through the alleyways. Each player has two runs: a Day Run and a Night Run. Each will take place inside the compound, an obstaclue course split into five zones - the lot, the woods, the wasteland, chemical plant, and office complex.

DAY RUN: You have one job: get $2000 from the Garage to one of two exits while evading two Pursuers. Only the two best drivers will go to the Night Run.
- Sonya: FAIL (4:53.58)
- Lex: FAIL (0:56.21)
- Adrian: FAIL (4:16:58)
ELIMINATED: Lex

NIGHT RUN: Three Pursuers... ONE exit. But now there's $5000 on the line for the person who finds the exit the fastest. If you find the exit, you return to the Night Run next week.
- Adrian: FAIL (1:05.59)
- Sonya: FAIL (4:52.58)

Last week, Kevin couldn't get past Dinner Service, so now there's only 11 remaining.

CHALLENGE #7: The Relay. You'll have 35 minutes to cook a Beef Wellington, a New York strip, a crispy skin salmon, braised halibut, and a rack of lamb. All at the same time. The catch: only two chefs will be allowed in the kitchen at the same time. The team with the best dishes of five wins.
- BEEF WELLINGTON: Blue
- NY STRIP: Red
- LAMB: Red
- SALMON: NOBODY
- HALIBUT: Red
RED WINS, 3-1

As a reward, the Reds will go ziplining above Fly Linq on the Strip. Then they'll have lunch at Off the STrip Bistro Bar. As a punishment, the Blues will have to sort trash for recycling.

Josie is surprisingly called up to Ramsay's office, where he tells her that she is a great cook, but she needs to find her voice. He also tells Emily that she's full of energy. The two of them are going to the roof, presumably to safety. After the surprise evaluations, each chef ranks their teammates based on how the one-on-ones went. The lowest five will be cooking for their lives.
- IN DANGER: Keanu, Josie, Victoria, Emily, Sam.

COOK FOR YOUR LIFE: You have 45 minutes to come up with your best dish using the same six ingredients. The worst performing dish will be eliminated.

- Keanu: Grilled Pork Chip with Blackened Seasoning & Apple-Bourbon Spice Sauce
- Victoria: Pan-Seared Pork Chop with Bourbon & Espresso Glaze
ELIMINATED: Keanu - "Keanu has many of the important attributes required to be a great chef, but when her pork went up in flames, so did her chances of continuing in this competition."
