Episode Overview

Title: Team Transfer; Hagfish Transfer; Cable Stand Plot: In this thrilling episode, five pairs faced off in a challenging competition with an extraordinary twist: contestants were prohibited from sleeping for the entire 48 hours. Any team member who dozed off would lead to their team's disqualification. Stunt #1: Team Transfer The men were suspended upside down from a trolley line, swinging between two rooftop platforms over 100 feet high. Meanwhile, the women had to transport flags by attaching them to their belts and grabbing the men’s arms to move back and forth. The four teams that collected the most flags within 5 minutes would move on, while the team with the fewest would be sent home. Stunt #2: Hagfish Transfer In this challenge, the women sat atop a double-decker Plexiglas box, while the men occupied the bottom level. The women were drenched in slippery hagfish, which would cascade down onto the men below.
