Stunt #1: Horse Drag Contestants would have to hold on to a rope being dragged behind two horses. They would be dragged 100 yards down a muddy course on their stomachs going 35 miles per hour. The two men and the two women who went the furthest before letting go would advance to the next round. The others would be eliminated. Contestants who crossed the finish line would automatically advance. Stunt #2: Rat Pit Contestants would have to lie in a pit and be covered with 400 rats. Everyone who stayed in the rat pit for 4 minutes would advance to the next round. Stunt #3: Slippery-Car Crawl Contestants would have to climb out on a car suspended 150 feet in the air.

It would be raining on the car the whole time. The contestant to complete this stunt the fastest would win the $50,0
