The final part challenges the contestants to land on a distant platform, a giant ball, or huge, stacked inner tubes containing foam in them by pole vaulting or a rope swing (or one of their variants) from a raised, levelled platform.
In season two, The Motivator was added on the platform that led to the Big Balls, which knocks off any contestant that hesitates to start jumping across the Big Balls. In aired episodes so far Ariel Tweto, Jeremey Olson, Ben Kronberg, John Ames (not shown), Yolanda Ezeil (not shown), Nick Ballard, Katie Mayfield, Jessie Graff, Grace Matis and Devon Berry (not shown) passed the obstacle. The third part of the course, and the show's hallmark obstacle, are the Big Balls, four gigantic inflated rubber balls placed in a line on steel supports over a pool of water, which the contestants must cross. For Episode 8, the boxing gloves are replaced by shoes and the obstacle is so named, "Butt Kicker". This obstacle has only been successfully completed seven times in aired episodes so far (by Episode 4's Gwenisha Robinson, Episode 6's Jessica Bertoni and John Henson(seen crossing it in episode 11), Episode 9's Katie Mayfield and Eddie Shapiro, and Episode 10's Sam Mohan and Phil Somerville). The next obstacle is the "Sucker Punch", a wall covered in boxing gloves which punch out at random intervals to knock the contestants into a mud pit. Starting in Season 2, the first part of the course is now a platform (or platforms) with unstable parts, leading to an easy wipeout (ex: Rug Pull). (In Episode 9, the ramp was replaced by a water slide with lots of pillars (The Human Pinball).
Though the items vary (doughnuts, rectangles, etc.), they fall over easily, dumping contestants into mud or water. The first part of the course usually consists of two sections of stacked items which the contestants must cross, occasionally separated by an additional obstacle. If the contestant fails to pass a particular obstacle, they only have to swim or crawl through mud or water to the next one.Ĭontestants first go down a ramp to a line of floating platforms (not really an obstacle but many contestants fall into the water here). The course consists of four distinct parts, the second and third of which are constant. Only the twelve (16 in Episode 9 only) with the fastest times move on. In the first round of the competition, 24 (32 in Episode 9 only) contestants attempt to qualify for the next round by passing a four-part obstacle course. 8.13 Episode 13: Totally, Totally Inappropriate.8.11 Episode 10: Knock, Knock, Who's There?
