Well the first challenge is over and once again it was a nail bitter. Each team had eight people that needed to compete in this challenge. Each challenger had to run or walk a quarter mile. At the end of their quarter mile they then would pass the next quarter mile to their next teammate. Now here is the twist. Each time they went they had a plastic spoon and an egg (in this case a golf ball) that they had to balance on this spoon. If the ball fell of the spoon, you would then have to wait for 3 seconds before moving forward again. Here is another twist. In the beginning of this run, they had to walk up 35 stairs and then at the end walk up and down an additional 10 stairs.
At first it looked like the red team would win this challenge. They had built up a very substantial lead but in the very end it was the blue team (Marsha Hoffman) who anchored the blue team to victory. The blue team won a $10 gift certificate to go to sports authority.
They also had their second weigh-in. This one was the first however for prizes. Here is the order, from first to last, that they are now in.
