Four of the deadliest humans on the
planet enter the field of battle. They will be tested in the realms of
strength, speed, and intelligence. After each test, one will be

title of One Man Army.
Let's go hot.

STRENGTH CHALLENGE: Tug-Of-War
The four operatives will be attached to
a center ring. They will have to pull themselves toward one of four
lockout buttons. The first one who hit their lockout three times in the
first two stages will
advance. The remaining two will go head to head. The first to hit their
lockout wins.

- Round 2: ADAM
- Round 3: ADAM advances
- Round 4: MATT
- Round 5: DALE
- Round 6: DALE
- Round 7: TIM
- Round 8: MATT
- Round 9: MATT advances.
Next stage... TIM advances.
EXTRACTED: Dale
SPEED CHALLENGE: Water Coffin
Operatives will be locked in a water
coffin that will be filled with 50-degree water. You will only be able
to breathe through one hole. They will have to hold their breath and
move quickly to a grating in the middle. They must then use a hacksaw
cut open the grating and exit. The clock will stop down when you exit.
At any point you feel like you cannot continue, tap out.
TIME IS CRITICAL; the slowest time will
be extracted from the game.
ADAM: TAPOUT at 30:44.
TIM: TAPOUT at 4:03.
MATT: 29:11 - SAFE
EXTRACTED: Tim
INTELLIGENCE CHALLENGE: Observe and Report
The operatives will have three minutes to
observe the daily goings-on in a mock village and remember as much
detail as possible, all while depositing an envelope in a drop box. Then
once the mortar in the town-square detonates, they must return to the
safehouse and answer 10 questions on what they saw. The operative that
answers the most questions correctly in the fastest time will win
$10,000 and the title of One Man Army.
Adam's strategy is to do a lap, pointing
out what's important and what's not. Next lap, spend a little time with
what may be perceived to be a threat.
Matt's strategy... divide the area
into quadrants, then break those down into more details.
BOOM TIME.
Back at the safehouse, we move to the
quiz...
1) What was the businessman holding after
he got out of his vehicle? (cell phone, Matt up, 1-0)
2) Photo of one of the two men who were cleaning up blood and glass
(Matt up, 2-1)
3) How many boxes did the deliveryman drop off? (four, Matt up, 3-1)
4) Who was wearing an expensive watch? (Matt up, 3-1)
5) How many pizzas did the pizzawoman deliver? (zero, Matt up, 4-2)
6) Who was transporting fertilizer and gasoline? (Matt up, 5-3)
7) What was one of the skateboarders carrying? (briefcase, Matt up, 6-4)
8) Who was handcuffed to a barrel? (Matt up, 6-4)
9 and possible win for Matt) Who had a weapon tucked in the back of
their pants? (Matt wins, 7-4)
EXTRACTED: Adam
And Matt S., the only one to complete all
three challenges, gets to lay claim to the spoils of victory, namely
$10,000 and the title of One Man Army.
Four more operatives next time...
