EPISODE #8RAMP IT UPPremier Date: 09/27/2011
==================================================================
Contestants must master the Recurve Bow and nail a target by skipping an arrow off a ramp. One team goes to the brink of self-destructing when two teammates almost come to blows during a dispute of a previous elimination decision. There are only eight members left...four to a team.
==================================================================
The first Team Challenge involves the contestants firing at separate sets of 6 targets mounted on rotating wheels 50 feet away, trying to bounce arrows off a metal ramp to hit them. One player at a time per team; a player's turn ends after he has either fired 3 arrows or shot a target that has not yet been hit. First team to hit all of its targets wins.
RED] Team's Phil is the first to hit a target and get a point on the board. Then Jake scores the first point for the
BLUE Team. After that, the teams rotate back and forth scoring points until it's down to the wire...with Mike of the
BLUE Team scoring the winning point.
WINNER:
BLUE Team
=================================================================
The nomination picks for the Elimination challenge for the
RED Team are: Chris & Cliff
=================================================================
The
RED Team members now move on to the Elimination event which involves using the recurve bow again, this time from 20 yards, both players fire at 4 18" two-color targets moving back and forth at different heights. Player with more hits on his assigned color (including accidental hits by his opponent) after 3 minutes and 30 seconds wins. Chris is assigned the yellow and Cliff is assigned the orange targets. Chris is the first to hit a yellow target...and Chris jumps to an early lead, even tho a few of his arrows hit Cliff's orange targets, giving Cliff the point.
But, after going back and forth, both men doing well with the moving targets, it's Chris that jumps ahead to win.
WINNER: Chris ( Chris 15 -- Cliff 10 )
