Which team will eventually win the challenges, and which three contestants will be chosen to compete in the elimination round? More importantly, who will ultimately be sent out of Camp Grit, and what complications and emotions will his or her departure bring to the remaining competitors and to the game itself?
The previous episode saw the departure of two strong contestants in a double elimination challenge that required three contestants to hold a heavy ball over the water using only one hand while leaning forward on a perch. The challenge tested the participants' endurance, balancing skills and body positioning.
In a tight competition, Carla Mireles from Team Riki beat out Team Burk's Will Westwater and Team Chloe's Shermon Braithwaite, both of whom were rung out of the competition. Host John Cena even commended Carla and Shermon in their face-off, saying that they were "amazing" for having lasted three hours into the challenge.
With only 12 contestants left, the determination to win and to stay in the game for a chance to win the $250,000 grand prize will only get that much harder. Which team will prove to be grittier than the rest?
"American Grit" season 2 episode 5 will air on Sunday, July 9, at 9 p.m. EDT on FOX.
