RULES: 12 players compete each episode. Once the music from Tori & The FOS Band's playing, they run around three obstacles & at the end of each one's a green line worth cash. As soon as the music stops, they must cross one of three bridges to Chair Island, where most of the chairs have cash amounts attached to them. In the first four rounds, contestants are eliminated when they fail to sit down in a chair, have the least dough in each round, withdraw or get disqualified (for contact above the neck, contact w/ the intention of hard or pushing from behind on the trap). Only the person who sits down in the sole chair during the final round will win the championship & their money.
Here are the first 12 runners/sitters:
Boys (odd numbers): Todd Gady (cross dresser), Bobby Waldron (who has a nickname of "Killer Bobby"), William (insomniac), RJ Hurley ("MCPushyPants"), Eric Gwizdala ("The Beard") & Javier Pagan (U.S. Marine)
Girls (even numbers): Holly Hitsman (a ranch hand on her parents' farm), Katrina (a 22-year-old freeloader), Kaycee Castillo (babysitter), Jenni Smith (girl next door), Jasmine (who plays several sports) & Jessica Hansen (personal trainer)
(Notes: Alan Carter's the director & we frequently hear the same sound effect from "Baseball IQ" when a player's turn is over.)
At least for the first round, the obstacles on the outside ring are Drop Zone, Boneyard & Ice Breaker, which are each worth $100. There are 10 chairs on CI; they're worth anywhere from nothing to five grand. The bridges in the opening round are Corkscrew, Barracuda & Twister.
