STRENGTH CHALLENGE: Dig A Tunnel

Operatives will have to dig a tunnel under or climb over five fences, each with an obstacle or a distractor. The first three to hit their lockout at the other end of the course will move on.

TIME IS CRITICAL; the slowest time will be extracted from the game.

First is a mud fence. As you dig, water starts to leak. Chriss is the first to clear.

Next is an eight-foot fence that must be climbed with a 75-pound duffel bag. Kevin switches to digging with his foot, which is a lot stronger than the arms. Chriss is the first to complete the second fence.

Third fence must be dug under with an Army shovel while avoiding mortal shells. Chriss is clearly fatigued, as Mario clears the first fence. Kevin makes it through. Chriss finally makes it as Mario begins to dig. Meanwhile, Ricoh thinks he might've pulled something.

Fourth fence is another eight-foot climb.

The final fence is buried 16 inches... and is a high-voltage fence... Mario and Chriss are digging for first place... and CHRISS is the first to clear.

Meanwhile, Mario is hampered by his big butt. He gets unstuck and locks out for the two-spot. Might wanna pull them pants up. And Ricoh finally gives in to his injury.

EXTRACTED: Ricoh

SPEED CHALLENGE: Lasers

Navigate through a maze of light beams without tripping one. If the operative trips a laser, he must begin again. Once he reaches the half-way mark, he must lock the briefcase to his wrist and return. There is a time limit of one hour.

TIME IS CRITICAL; the operative with the slowest time will be extracted from the game.

MARIO: 34:34
KEVIN: TIME OUT
CHRISS: 19:34 - SAFE

At this point, time is not important.

EXTRACTED: Kevin.

INTELLIGENCE CHALLENGE: Diffuse Bombs

In a blast-resistant suit, each operative will have to diffuse a buried IED, a timer shed bomb, a car bomb, and a pressure plate bomb. The operative who successfully diffuses the most bombs in the quickest time will be named the One Man Army and win $10,000.

First, each player is given a target folder with all the information needed to diffuse the bombs, as well as 90 seconds to memorize it.

Chriss... doesn't start out well. He trips the pressure plate. Steps are important for the car bomb. Chriss follows those to the letter, so he scores. Next, the IED, which requires you to cut a series of wires in sequence. He... DOES SO. Now Chriss has three minutes to diffuse the time shed. And... DONE! Three of four diffused.

Mario has to diffuse all four bombs to win. If he misses one, he's going to have to rely on time. Pressure plate... BOOM. Car bomb... disarmed. IED... disarmed. Now he needs to beat 2:53 on the timer to win. Timer shed.... BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. And it's game over for you.

EXTRACTED: Mario

Chriss S came in first in all three challenges, and now he has the cash and the title of One Man Army. Age and wisdom win out over youth this day.

Four more operatives next time...
