This week the show is in San Antonio, Texas. Matt and Akbar welcome a huge crowd and it is the first time the show has been filmed in San Antonio. Kristine introduces the course for tonight. It is made up of the floating steps, the tic toc, spinning bridge, sky hooks, pipefitter and finally the warped wall. The top finishers will move on to the finals. The first contestant is Rynel Gervacio and the crowd goes wild cheering him on. He easily makes it through the floating steps, the tic toc and the spinning bridges but misses the first ring on the sky hook and is out of the game.

Conor falls on the first obstacle after reporting he didn’t have much time to train.
Brandi Monteverde is a mom and a fitness instructor. Her mother died of cancer several years ago and her death pushed Brandi to be healthy and fit.

Nico Gentry is legally blind but hasn’t let that keep him down. He makes it through the first three obstacles but the sky hook takes him out.
