• Week 5 (3/8/10): This week the contestants learned about the "Art of War". The challenge was a close combat battle with pugil sticks on a platform that was built in a swimming pool. The teams had to knock their opponent into the water and capture the other teams flag to win.. The first team to capture three of the other teams flags, wins and gets five fit factor points. Tanisha's fear of the water was a big factor in this challenge. After capturing two blue flags, the Red team faltered and the Blue team made a huge comeback to win the challenge.

• Week 4 (3/1/10): The contestants had a tough challenge this week where they had to climb a large hill, then move supplies that consisted of large boxes and objects up the hill, then build a tent and move the supplies into the tent. To make the challenge even more difficult was the heavy rain and mud. The Blue Team started off strong, but when they couldn't get their tent pitched and the Red Team took the lead, tensions ran high for the Blue Team. Sebastian Bach and Tanisha Thomas got into a heated argument and said things that they would later regret. The Red Team won the challenge and earned 5 Fit Factor Points. Harvey selected the entire Blue Team as the "dead weight" and their punishment was to move all the supplies back down the hill. Later that night Tanisha took the high road and apologized to Sebastian, who also apologized to Tanisha. Later, the contestants got to watch videos from home which provided much needed encouragement.
