Endurance Tehachapi by Pierre Kelly, GSNN

Air time: 12:30p ET/11:30a CT on NBC
Host: JD Roth

Well then, after a long winded break, Endurance returns with a new one. Last time, there was no GRAY matter involved as BLUE outlasted GRAY to knock them out the competition. Who will be the next team to go home? We start outside the cabins where J.D. informs the players about what took place at the temple last night. He also tells us as of now, GREEN has 2 pieces and everyone else has 1. What J.D. is holding right now is the Commitment piece and a note the GRAY team left, telling that they miss them so much and they want to give the piece to...BLUE. So with that, BLUE & GRAY are tied with 2 pieces, and the rest have 1 piece. J.D. warns us that whoever wins this next mission has the power to decide what changes the game.

As the kids go to their cabins, Shea says he's fighting for soemthing else, Callie says BLUE should not be felling good this time, but over at the girls' cabin, they talk about a mission, meanwhile outside, the guys strategize their plan for what should be today's mission.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: HANG TEN!
All the players head to J.D.to explain the rules of this mission: All teams must put their feet on one end and their hands on the other by balancing it. If 1 player loses his/her balance, he/she is eliminated. If there is only 1 player left, he/she wins the DISCIPLINE piece for his/her team, and has the power to divide teams into "Super Teams." With that out of the way...Let's Start! Frankie & Shea stretch in the opening seconds, but Michael is the first one gone, and so did Daniela. It's now past 3:00 now, and an ORANGE team member is gone. Another girl is out, and that's Jeszie. We are past the 4-minute mark, and Amelia is out and Shea is the only one remaining for the BLUE team. But he's gone as BLUE is out. 7 1/2 minutes ticking past so far, and Callie is out. So did Frankie, he, too is out. Erica remains as the only girl in this mission. Now's it's past 12 minutes, and Issac is gone as GREEN is out. It all comes down to the final 3, Yellow, Purple & Red. Who will survive? Now it's past 14 minutes, and they're all doing stretching, but Chris got the bars shaking a little bit. It's past 28 minutes now, and finally, Johnathan is out, it's down to either Erica or Chris and....Chris is out as Erica wins the piece and celebrates in the water with Frankie.

After the mission, the guys headed back to the cabin to figure out what happened. Chris said he let himself down by losing the mission to Erica. Over at the girls' cabin, they was told what went wrong with Chris, and according to Callie, it was a whole different change of him. Erica said she's excited about winning the mission, and over on the swing, the RED team predicts who the super teams are, but doesn't want PURPLE down. Individually, Franke went with BLUE & ORANGE, while Erica went with YELLOW, PURPLE & RED.

Everybody heads to J.D. and informs us that BLUE, GREEN & RED are all tied for 1st place with 2 pieces while the rest have 1. He informs us that Blue hasn't won a mission because of the temple game, and asks Jeszie if the girls are running the show, then asks Callie if it's all about trust. He also talks about what the RED team did in this mission and asks who the super teams are. To remind you all, The "Super Teams" are 3 teams combined from 2 other teams and your team winning the mission. The RED team decided that it was GREEN & YELLOW who will join them, and the 2nd power team will be PURPLE, BLUE & ORANGE. J.D. informs us that tomorrow, they'll face their toughest mission yet. As we figure out next time, which 2 of the power teams will face elimination? You'll see as Endurance: Tehachapi is OFF THE AIR.

Mega Match by Gordon Pepper, GSNN

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

I hope you are having a good Thanksgiving. Can the teams on this week's Mega Match have a festive one as well? We shall see...

We do have a reggaeton Concert to deal with - but in the mean time, we have games to play. The first one, the relay, had the Green team decimate the yellow team when they had 2 teams left vs. yellow's zero.

The Next game is Mega Match's version of American Idol - you first have to race to the Microphone once a song is sung - and then you have to get the lyrics right and sing it like you mean it. None of these people will be making the American Idol cut, but the Green Team wins it, 3-1.

It's time for some Hanging on action. The teams have to climb up on some monkey bars and try to knock off their opponents by using their legs and feet. The Yellow team gets their revenge and smokes the Green Team, 10-2.

Another reggaeton concert later, it's Trivia Time. The Green team dominates this section, winning the game and the Match. They have a nice 6 minutes to run through the house to win the car.

Can they do it? He gets all the way to the room on the Motorcycle, but he gets killed on opening the doors. He easily spends over 3 minutes on opening doors, and time runs out before he can get to the motorbike.

GAME 2

We start this hour with the Little Red Riding Hood game, where the players have to go through a wire mesh, then grab a basket, get into a wading pool to get a goodie, then come back out and return it to grandmother. Yellow team starts, and...well, granny's going to be pretty ticked off because the Yellow team didn't get anything. All that the Green Team needs to do is get 1 goodie, and they get it with 36 seconds to spare.

Oh look - another Reggaeton Concert.

After the concert, we get some Gladiator action as we bring out the Monkey Bars. The Green team wins this one handily as well, and barring a disaster on the trivia section, they will be going to the house. They don't screw it up, but they only have 4:40 to go into the house with. He still gets past the balloons and the drinks, but he loses a full 2 minutes in the nut and bolt room and he forgets to put the model's shoes on, ands that's where time ends. Oh well. Next time.
