Truck Pull Competition

The contestants will win groceries for one year if they can pull a semi down a track and complete a puzzle at the finish line. Blue team has an obvious advantage with all the big guys on their team.

The Ultimate Temptation

The winner of this temptation gets to decide it all this week - the new teams for blue vs black and who gets immunity. Without knowing what they had to do to win, they had to decide if they were in or out. Mike and Drea were the only two to play. It was a game of memory. If they didn’t choose the “Choose Teams” card, they had to eat a chocolate chip cookie. If they matched a food item, they got to give the food item to the other person.

Michael ate 2,310 calories and Drea ate 1,320 calories, but Mike found the Golden Ticket, and won the power to choose the teams and immunity.

Black and Blue Teams Chosen

There will be two teams of 6 people, and the extra person will have immunity. Whichever team loses the weigh-in will have teh person with immunity join them.
