Episode Overview
Title: N.Y. vs. L.A. Plot: In this thrilling episode, four competitors from New York City face off against four from Los Angeles. Stunt #1 (Helicopter Rappel) - Contestants race against one another as they rappel down ropes suspended from a helicopter, using a hand brake. During their descent, they must grab five flags from an adjacent rope before plunging into the water below. The fastest male and female from each city will move on, while the others face elimination. Stunt #2 (Meat Locker) - Contestants team up with their city partner, bound at wrists and ankles with duct tape and locked inside a frigid meat locker. After escaping, they must sift through a barrel filled with lard and animal innards to find a wrench. With their tools in hand, they’ll dig through an ice tunnel to retrieve keys secured inside, which they’ll need to unlock their exit.
