Chapter 7-Waterbagged!

Endurance returns with all-new episode. Last time, The weak team powered over the strong super teams, sending Yellow & Red to tempe, leaving Yellow gone without a trace. Who else will be gone today?

We start with Franke saying that the temple felt a mix of sad & happy, and Issac says that 1/2 of the original 20 are gone. Over at the cabin, the guys wat to know who they want to give their piece to. Jonathan says a lot of people do not trust Mikey. But who else can they trust in this game? J.D informs the players to come out of their cabins, and when he told about the Yellow team, they controlled this game. Green read a note left by Yellow giving the trust piece to Red, putting them tied with Green with 2 while everybody else has 1. J.D. informs us that today's Endurance mission is about not coming in last, and if they do, they'll guarantee a spot in temple tomorrow.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: BLANKET BARRELED
On the line is a luck piece and a sahmadi for one team at a disadvantage. Our teams will carry water using a piece of canvas and fill the water to the rim. Whoever is first wins the game, and if J.D. mentions if your team is in last place, you are reserved a spot in temple. With that...Let's Go! Orange drops some water first, and Green is the first to fill the water first. Green & Blue are in a bind for first, and there's water covered in mud. If Green can win this thing, they'll tie with Red. Right now, Red's catching up with Blue, and Red is deadlocked with Green, but it's a battle for 1st? Who won? It was...Green! And the race continues as Red is safe, and so does Blue. It's now down to Orange & Purple, and Orange is safe leaving Purple in dead last. Green is rewarded with the Luck piece and the sadmadi, but hang in there, there is a rule twist. Should Purple win the temple mission, they'll stay out of the temple. This give Purple a chance to get out of there.

Franke says the challenge was messy, tiring & hard, and Jon said that the water was 1/2 of what Purple carried over, but Kylie said it was a big sigh of relief avoiding last place. Jonathan said the challenge gave him back a lot of spirit. Over at the cabin, Daniela was crying about what the heck happened at the challenge, while Ameila told her it's OK. Meanwhile, over at the Guys cabin, they want to give it to Red, and according to Franke, if Green gets the sahmadi, it'll be the nail in the coffin. The girls, meanwhile are hanging out with Issac.

All of the players head to the moutains, and J.D. told them it started with 20, and now it's cut in half. Issac said he can do whatever he can to win the game, and Mike said he's loyal to Blue & Gray, but not betray like his 2 picks. Jeszie said Mike's a good word despite being considered a rat, and who was the quietest person according to J.D.? It was Kylie. Green won that challenege, and passes the sahmadi to...The Red Team. And inside we get...10 ft. of rope which will be a disadvantage to the team. Erika said Franke & herself need to win this mission, and it'll happen next week. Will the purple team must win to stay out of temple, or will Red's disadvantage keep Purple in temple? It's all next week, so goodbye everyone.

Mega Match by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

Air time: Saturdays Noon ET/11am CT on Telefutura
Hosts: Samir Bazi, Chiquinquirá Delgado & Daniel Somaro

The Yellow team is from Caracas while the Green team is from Ecuador. They are all hear to win some nice stuff, so let's get to it with Gladiator Hang On Action! After 3 minutes, we see that the Green Team throttled the yellow team, 9-2, to win the first game and to grab 2 minutes.

Next up - a concert! Weee!

It's time for the paper chase, so to speak as the contestants carry pails of paper across a set of spinning poles. Neither team does a good job, but the Green team does eek it out, 4-2, so they get the win and a 2-0 game lead.

Maybe the Yellow team can catch up in Megamatch Idol. The Yellow team does finally get on the board, winning the game 5-2. That gets them time, but...

...can they get enough in the Trivia Round to get past Green? It turns out that they do - the Green Team gets stalled out at 4 minutes, while the Yellow team edges them out, 4:20 to 4:00.

4:20 on this course, however, is not a lot of time, so Yellow will have to move quickly. Move quickly he does - he gets through the library, the potion room, the needle room and through the model dress. Time runs out on him before he gets into the Bowling Pin room. His prizes include appliances, TV/VCR combo, a Range/Oven combo and a Refrigerator.

We start the second hour playing with pugil sticks as we joust. Green wins the first match-up in a rout and they get the first blood.

Next up - a concert! We have some soulful samba. Ahhhhh.

We continue with the Aguadores. Yellow has traditionally sucked at this event, and they continue to as they only get...1. Green gets 4, and they win the event.

Yellow's only chance is to score very well in the trivia competition. Amazingly enough, they do. Once again, they come from behind, and once again, they win 4:40 to 4:00.

And once again, expect them to get to the model room, and that's it. They win the same stuff. Whoopie. Let's see next week if anyone can hit the 5 minute mark.
