Pop Challenge: They need to load 150 boxes of food onto a truck- half of them weigh 15 lbs. each, while the other half weigh 20 apiece. The winner (after their flag's pulled down) will have 30,749 (that's how many pounds have ever been lost on the U.S. version of this program) lbs. of food donated to the winner's hometown food bank courtesy of Newman's Own, as well as a one-pound advantage for him/herself; however, everyone who finishes will at least have a truckload of groceries delivered to their hometown.
Buddy's still MEDICALLY INELIGIBLE for most of these challenges.
WINNER- Mark
Jared Fogle eats SUBWAY w/ the cast.
