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
eliminated until there is only one. That one will win $10,000 and the
title of One Man Army.
Let's go hot.

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.
MIKE: 5:12 - SAFE
GARRET: 7:57 - SAFE
The operative with the slowest time...
EXTRACTED: Mark
STRENGTH CHALLENGE: Tug-of-War
The three operatives will be attached to
a center ring. They will have to pull themselves toward one of three
lockout buttons. The first one who hit their lockout three times will
advance. The remaining two will go head to head. The first to hit their
lockout wins.
- Round 1: MIKE
- Round 2: MIKE
- Round 3: MIKE advances
Next stage... GARRET advances.
EXTRACTED: Rhyan
INTELLIGENCE CHALLENGE: Cell Service
Locked in a jail cell, the two remaining
operatives must improvise an escape using whatever is inside the cell to
retrieve a key placed nine feet away. The first person to escape the
cell will be named the One Man Army and go home with $10,000.
Mike is going for the indirect method
and... misses. Garret is using the springs on his bed to improvise a
level. It... doesn't go out far enough. Mike improves upon that to ...
fail as well. Then he uses a bundle of strings and a milk crate to use
as a catch. Garret does the same... and goes over to Mike's side. He
better hurry and get his key before Garret does. That move may have
sealed the deal, as the key is leveraged off of the wall. A lot of
throwing happens... then Mike hits the nail on the head...board, and
reels in the win.
EXTRACTED: Garret
And in the end, Mike R., a paratrooper
from just a mile up the road from GSNN World Headquarters #2, wins
$10,000 and the title of One Man Army after defying the expectations of
all three of his competitors.
Four more operatives next time...
