01x07 - Trash Day

Post by bunniefuu »

- Previously onTough As Nails...
- No, we're done.

...Savage Crew faced
a string of defeats

- in the team competition...
- Dirty Hands take the win.

...hindered by
communication issues

- and rising tensions.
- Need power.

The cables
are becoming a problem.

I might be costing my team time.

You're now down 1-3.

Sometimes we just
need you to be quiet.

Just when it seemed
like things were coming together...

What's Michelle doing?

...Savage Crew were a tight,
rolling machine...

Michelle is rolling up
a random red barrel.

- ...except for one...
- Michelle!

She's just refused
to work with the team.

...giving Dirty Hands a 4-1 lead

in the team competition.

That knocked the
spirit out of me.

Then,
in an electric individual challenge...

- Helmets coming down.
- ...Murph overcame his fear of heights

- and came out on top.
- I just thank the other people

that have supported
me through this.

Michelle,
you are going into overtime.

You will be faced
up against Luis.

Once again,
Savage against Savage.

But Michelle proved she
con-duit better than Luis...

- Michelle's flying right now.
- ...taking away his shot

at the $200,000 grand prize.

I wanted to show the world,
show my son

that I continue to fight.

- Tonight...
- Piano, piano!

...Savage Crew must win

to stay alive in the
team competition.

Push! Push!

And in the individual
competition...

- - the
crew gets down and dirty.

- Whoa!
- Who has what it takes to be

- Tough As Nails champion...
- Oh, man!

- ...and who will punch out?
- Come on!

I had faith in us,

but I don't think I
would have guessed

that we would have
lost the first one

and then just
dominated after that.

- Yeah.
- But altogether as a unit,

- I think that they're all reallyhungry for a team win.
- Yeah.

That loss hit me so bad because

I try to think what happened,

and I know I just lost my focus.

We left that "moving
barrels" challenge

with some frustration aimed at me,
and it was justified.

Everybody said, "Michelle,
sometimes you just gotta

let others take charge."

I hear what you're saying.

And-and I gotta bring
it back for you guys.

You gotta bring it
back for yourself.

I'm gonna bring it
back for myself today.

Our last team challenge,
we did have an issue with

Michelle not being
able to let go of the reins.

We had multiple heart-to-hearts.

I feel like we are, as a team,

in a place where
it is dialed in now.

We know leadership,
we know where to follow.

Beating them is not a factor,
you know.

- We beat ourselves...
- Exactly.

By not being on the same page,
by not communicating,

by stepping on
each other's foot.

Like, let's just show America
how resilient we can be,

you know, down 4-1.

Now,
we down 4-2. If we bring it down 4-3

and win another one, that's 4-4.

That's resiliency right there.

It's powerful
for me to know that

we worked out
problems and-and...

and we're gonna win today.

- I believe so.
- I believe so, too.

I'm thinking the Savage team,

they gonna come at us hard.

And we got to be
able to go harder.

Yeah, they want it.

They probably feel
like they need it.

- They do need it. - Yeah.

Because if they lose one more,

they have no shot at the extra.

I want this team win.

- Yeah, so do I.
- That seals five.

Dirty Hands is in the lead
with four wins to Savage Crew's one,

and we're hoping to make it 5-1.

When we have the
majority of the wins,

we get 60,000
extra more dollars.

There's a lot on the line. I mean,
there's $60,000

on the line right now.

Don't let 'em see the light
at the end of the tunnel.

Don't let 'em see
that light at all.

No. Keep that light off.

Welcome to the neighborhood,
everybody.

- Come on in. - Good morning.

You know we've been in dirty,
dusty places.

- We thought we'd bring you to a nice, quiet neighborhood.
- This is beautiful.

Isn't it nice? There's
no dust out here.

Until we get started.

- Then there's gonna be a dustup, right?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, the team score
stands at 4-1 to Dirty Hands,

and there are only three
team challenges left.

As you know,
the team that wins the most team challenges

at the end of the competition
isgoing to get a cash bonus

- of $60,000. -

- Savage Crew, you're down but you're not out.
- Yep.

You have to win to stay
in the team competition.

Lose today, and you're out
of the running for that bonus.

Oh, we're putting everything
into this one. Everything.

Losing four in a row is... I mean,
it's tough.

You start doubting yourself.
You start doubting your team.

So the team needs to win.

Only ten percent of
Americans move every year,

but it's an $85
billion business.

One of the biggest small
businesses in America.

Your job today is to
move all the contents

out of one of these garages

into one of these
moving trailers.

It's a small space,
but everything will fit

as long as you figure
out how to pack it.

The first team to close the
doorand close both latches will win

$12,000.

That's $2,000 each.

And just remember
that with moving,

it's not just about
being big and strong.

It's what you move
and how you pack it.

It's a small space.

You've got to think about
how things fit together.

It's a puzzle.

I'm really confident
because I've moved a lot.

I worked at NASA for
just under two years.

I worked offshore
in the Gulf of Mexico.

When I'm not working in Alaska,
I live in Oregon.

I'm pretty used to moving,
and I think that this

really won't be too hard.

Let's get to strategizing.

I vote for Danny. You know,
he's quick, he's-he's visual.

He sees it.

I think that you could do a
really good job leading us.

Yeah, I'll take it.

And there's a strategic
way to place everything.

Phil emphasized the puzzle,
so Danny is

our team leader because
he's very good with puzzles.

And our plan is to
consolidate as much as we can.

All the small items
should be left last

so you can always put them in.

We need a foreman.

- Tara, do you want to lead it?
- Yep.

I've done enough
military moves in 24 hours

that I know how
to move like that.

Being a military spouse,

I've moved far too
many times to count.

So I definitely felt like this
was the challenge to lead.

- I put all the heavier pieces in first.
- In first, yeah.

Because they're flatter,
they're taller, they're bigger.

The main thing is to
communicate with each other.

We don't need to rush
because it's a puzzle.

If we can't close that gate,
we can't win.

For this win to happen,

we need whoever's the
leader to be the leader.

As long as we're all
on the same page,

they should watch out.

- One, two, three...
- Savage! -Dirty Hands!

It's time to get to work.

Put all the light
stuff on the right side.

Like boxes and
stuff. Right side.

- Right side?
- Yeah, yeah.

Anything
that will fit in the stove.

- Put things in the stove.
- Okay.

Dollies are right here.

So the plan is

getting every item
out of the garage first.

See it all out in the driveway.

I want that fridge, stove,
piano. They're heavier.

I just see it all
as puzzle pieces,

and I see them coming together

before I actually
put them together.

I got a perfect spot for it.

Right here,
with the opening towards me.

Step one. Everyone
is trying to get a good inventory

of what's inside the garage.

Myles and Lee,
the big muscle moving the big piano.

For some reason,
Linda bringing boxes

back into the Dirty
Hands garage.

Somebody put the
beanbag inside the fridge.

I know the biggest thing
with packing is using

all the space that you have.

So I start to have everybody
put our boxes inside stuff.

But I want to do
that inside the garage

so that Savage Crew doesn't
see what we're getting into.

Savage Crew, I gotta say...

- Put it next to the truck.
- ...they're all working,

unlike other team
challenges where they'd been

standing around at times.

Let's go. Come on.

This has to be the key for these boxes,
dude.

- Myles, do your magic over here.
- Okay.

- I got you.
- And we'll move these

- smaller boxes to other places.
- Okay.

Uh, piano, piano, piano!

Easier on the wheels.

- You want one or two? - Two.

I don't hear any
arguing. Michelle is doing

what we've asked her to do,
and that's listen to

the guidance from the leader.

It's imperative that we do
win today to make sure that

the spirit of the team
doesn't go any lower.

They do seem to
have a system here, Savage Crew.

Bulky pieces first.

Ready? One, two, three, go.

Are you ready to start
loading? Let's put the piano in.

Are you sure?

- Let's put it...
- I was thinking last

'cause this is too
much dead space.

Dirty Hands have
not loaded anything into their trailer.

Well, let's put it upagainst
a wall and build it out,

- and build it up. - Okay.

That's good, that's good.
That's as far as it's gonna go.

Beanbag chair is
gonna go right behind it.

We're getting the communication

a lot better than what
we were in the past.

- As a team, we are dialed in now.
- Let's go.

We want to win
today's team job extremely bad.

- Box spring coming, Tara.
- Box spring's going right here.

- One, two, three.
- Danny and Myles

just muscling that piano.

Put it all the way
in that corner.

I hate moving.

And I always end up
moving in the wintertime.

But Savage Crew,
they're hungry for a win.

They ain't gonna cut no slack.

- Excuse me.
- You got that, Lee?

I got it. Don't worry about it.

Lee is just Incredible Hulk.

I'm telling you...

If that shirt isn't ripped
by the time we're done...

Man, he's just... he's a beast.

Oh, my God, Lee, you're awesome.

I got a shelf, y'all.

Box spring goes right here.

Impossible to tell
whose technique is gonna be better,

but Savage Crew have
already put in small pieces,

and that might come
back to bite them.

Mattress on that side,
bookshelves as flat as we can.

I don't have much
experience with moving,

but today we need a win.

The way we're going right now,

Tara can focus on just
doing what she's doing,

as long as nobody's
butting in with their opinions,

- then we'll be okay.
- Leave it here.

Everything out.

Savage Crew
have cleared their garage.

As far as Dirty Hands goes,

it's unclear who's
actually in charge.

- Danny or Callie?
- Hey, let's do, let's do...

- We got to, we got to keep...
- Let me see that.

- Let me get that.
- We got to keep getting stuff in there.

- We got to go up.
- We need to move that big one in there...

- You think we should put something on top of it?
- Hey.

I don't know
what is wrong today.

We have no sense of urgency,
which is rare for me.

Usually I'm always trying
to be in a speedy pace.

There's a lot of brainstorming
instead of just acting.

Hey,
you guys want to do chairs last?

- Yeah, let's do chairs...
- No, no, no. Let's lay them this way.

- Okay. Okay. - Like this.

I don't know.

Hey, we're gonna put this by the piano,
okay?

Interesting
strategy from Dirty Hands here.

Look how they've put the
small boxes inside the bookcase.

- This is Tetris101.
- Right where Linnett was.

Standing up with
the hollow end out.

- You got me, Murph?
- Hey, let us put this on.

We got to pick up the pace a little bit,
you guys.

Hold up, hold up.

Okay,
slow and steady. Slow and steady.

- Can we put that on
top of that?-LUIS: Yeah.

Can you believe it? Savage Crew,

the best we've ever
seen them work as a team.

Calm down,
though. We have to figure it out.

- Tip it up the way it says.-Hey.
Lee is ready to go with...

Lot of talking
going on with Dirty Hands.

Not a lot of action.

Maybe thinking
this out too much.

Danny,
I'm putting the chairs upside down?

- No. No.
- Hold on, hold on.

Upside down in there? No? Okay,
forget it.

Those boxes got to go somewhere,
Tara.

- Those boxes can fit right here.
- There you go.

Callie, what about this other
black piece on the very top?

- Would that fit?
- It won't fit. It's too big.

- Uh, the box... we can put the box spring right over there.
- What about this on top?

Hey, hey,
that little... hey, hey, hey.

- I don't know.
- What's going underneath the piano?

I'm looking and I'm seeing

that Savage Crew is
moving extremely fast.

We have a lot of space in our trailer,
so we need

to stop all this talking we're
doing and make these moves.

Let's make some room.

Somebody get these chairs out the way,
please.

Okay,
what we trying to put in next?

We have the big desk.

I'm getting extremely nervous.

We're definitely
overthinking everything.

At this point,
we need to figure it out and just do it.

- Yep, let's do it. Here.
- Let's do it, do it, do it.

If we can win today,

we're gonna win that $60,000.

I'm like, "Let's go,
let's go, let's go!"

Pull it out just a
little bit. Lift it up.

Solid.

The chairs,
we can start stacking right here.

- But we need to get...
- So where do you want this chair to go?

- That ain't gonna close.
- They fit on this side.

- Okay, this will go on this side. Look.
- Chairs here.

- Chairs on that side.
- Yeah, yeah.

Our communication
is so much better.

The lessons that we have
been learning with losing

is a little bit of humble pie,

and I feel like we're
giving the other team

a little bit of taste of that.

More sideways, sideways.

Where you want to go, baby,
where you want to go?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Good call, Linda.

Watch out, guys, here I come.

- Ready or not! -

- Yeah, papa. Chairs up.
- Okay.

- Here. - Like this?

- Don't break nothing, Luis.
- No, no. Look.

- That box in the way.
- Really?

- Yeah. Pull it back out.
- Now they're realizing

the small pieces
are eating up space.

They may have to unload
and repack their trailer,

and that'll leave the door
openfor Dirty Hands to take the win.

We have enough stuff,
so everybody bring stuff in.

- Perfect.
- You're good, you're good.

We're getting to the very end

and we're starting
to rush too much.

- I'm telling you, it's too tall.
- Hold on, hold on.

Watch your head,
watch your head.

We're so close,
we only have a few chairs left.

But Dirty Hands are catching up.

If we rush,
we may not get that door shut all the way.

- Get this on up.
- Guys, we know this one will fit there.

- Slow down, slow down.
- Slow down.

- Everybody bring stuff in.
- All right, Savage Crew,

- so close to finishing.
- Watch out, please.

Both teams
packing everything into their trailer,

but who's gonna be first to
fiteverything inside and then latch

- up the door? - Pick it up.

Keep pushing,
keep pushing, keep pushing.

Savage Crew coming
to the final stages.

Can they get it done?

But Dirty Hands only
have a few pieces to go.

- That's good.
- It all comes down to whether Savage Crew

- can close their trailer.
- Come on, come on.

- Up, up, quick, quick, quick.
- Get her off the ramp.

Here comes Savage Crew.

All they got to do is
get the door locked!

Come on, let's go!

- Let's go, baby! -

- Good job, good job. - Love it.

Very good, very good.

Let's go!

Savage Crew is so excited

because everything
was working today.

We've made the mistakes,
we're moving forward,

and we're working as a team.

This was our moment of glory.

What a win today
for Savage Crew.

Way to bring it. How
do you guys feel now?

I know it's been a rough road.

They have been giving
us a run for our money,

showing us what
our weaknesses were,

and actually, that made us better,
'cause now we know

our strengths and how
we communicate better.

So actually, thank you for
whupping our a*s so many times

so we can come together.

This win feels amazing.

We've learned so many lessons,
uh, from each other

and having to have
heart-to-heart conversations,

when we know it hurts the
other person but it's necessary.

Now we trust each other
and we're all gonna push

as hard as we can to make
sure we are the winning team.

Right now we have two
wins for Savage Crew.

Four wins so far
for Dirty Hands.

With only two
challenges remaining,

do you worry at all
about them catching up?

- We're worried they gonna be tougher to beat the next time.
- Yeah.

We definitely got to have
all our ducks in a row.

We really wanted that win,
but Savage team,

they got their act together

and they ex*cuted better
than we did our plan.

This next challenge,
it's gonna be a fight.

They want it,
we want it, so hey,

let them bring it.

We ready for them.

I have $12,000.

Savage Crew, here's your hard-earned money.

Luis,
$12,000 to divide with your team.

I'm all about that Badge, Phil.

And for today's team leader,
the Badge of Honor.

Congratulations.

Yeah.

You know what happens next.

Only seven of you
left to be in contention

for the individual
Tough As Nailstitle.

One of you will win $200,000...

...and a 2020 Ford truck.

Gonna shift from
team to individual.

- Good job. - Thank you!

Today was
definitely a great win.

I know we wanted
a little retaliation

and to pass some of that
humble pie to the other team.

But as a team,
we've become stronger.

And you see how good we work

- when the communication was there.
- Yeah.

I feel like if we continue

into that path,
we are unbeatable.

We're beating ourselves,

- to be quiet honest. - Exactly.

I've always
struggled with self-confidence,

but being the
leader of this win,

the confidence is boosting,

but it's boosting as a team,
not just individually.

It's uplifting to me

to see, like, you know,
females being so strong-minded.

So I'm learning from
each one of you guys.

We are grateful that you and
Young and Murph, as men,

don't make us feel like we
can'tlead or that we're, uh,

- weak at any point. - Yep.

That we are all equals and
that is an awesome feeling.

It's more like a family.

Couldn't pick a better,
you know, team as you guys.

And I got your
back no matter what,

all the time, and you know that.

Now we can just focus
on us working together,

showing them what
we're actually made of.

Last night was tough, man.

I miss my family, man.

Family's where it's at,
man. You gonna raise your son, man.

And just keep him focusing
in the right direction.

Because there's
not many Black men

who stands up and
raise their family.

Not a lot of men that
stands up and be men.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

- Nah, I hear you.
- You know what I'm talking about?

I mean, likewise, it's so good

seeing-seeing you,
an older version of me.

You know what I mean? For real,
man.

I used to joke with my
buddies while I was living

in a place called Kooskia,
Idaho.

I was like, "Yeah,
there's two Black guys.

"There's me and
the guy in the mirror

when I'm brushing my teeth."

That's about it.

But when I was coming up,
I don't feel like there were

- role models, you know what I'm saying?
- Right.

If anything,
I wish I could tell the younger me,

"Do what feels authentic
and true to you at all times.

"You can work outside,
you can, you can

get on a roof and do
something."You know what I'm saying?

"You can,
you can learn about plants and animals.

"You can go on a fishing boat

"and, you know,
become a captain of a ship

"or you can farm or,
you know, like,

there-there's so many
things you can do."

I just hope that some
young person can see me

and think, "Yeah,
man, I can do that.

Yeah, yeah, man,
I can put in some hard work."

If somebody can feel
a positive vibe from me,

- and let their life be changed.
- Right.

I want the big prize,

and I got a lot of
things pushing me,

but-but my number
one is for my son.

When my son was born,

it was one of the scariest
moments of my life.

At 29 weeks pregnant,
I found my girlfriend

on the bathroom
floor having a seizure.

Uh, he came out, uh,
less than two pounds.

But today he's strong
and he's in day care.

He's a little smaller
than the other kids,

but he's still running around with them,
man, so...

Ah.

And, uh,
I just wish I had half the heart he got.

He's the toughest guy I know,
man.

Yep.

You know what,
I really feel proud of you,

keeping your own family
focused for the next generation.

You never know who
you may influence.

That's a wonderful thing,
man, that's a wonderful thing.

- Yeah, for sure, brother. I appreciate that.
- Yeah.

You know,
I got great love for you, man.

Hmm. Anybody need a recliner?

- How's it going, Phil?
- Good morning, guys.

Morning! - Get some rest?

- Yes.
- Sure did.

- Then there were only... seven.
- Seven.

Seven Tough As Nailscontenders
for the individual title.

- $200,000 up for grabs. - Yeah!

That's what we're wanting,
big-time.

So,

you might have
noticed a few things

when you were
walking on the street.

- A chair.
- It's trash day.

A street
with lots of bags of trash

that you need to pick
up and toss into this.

- Okay. - Mm.

This is what you need
today to get the job done.

Oh, man.

There's over 268 million tons

of trash generated in
America every year...

A $70 billion business.

It's huge.

So, here's the job.

You're gonna be going one ata time,
racing behind the truck.

You need to pick up and load

as many garbage bags as you can

before you get to
the end of the street.

If you win this,
you will have a power,

an advantage that you can use

in the next individual
competition.

The two of you who get the
leastnumber of bags in the truck

will be going into overtime,

and, by the end of the day,

one of you will be cut
from the competition

and join these lovely
people over here.

Since you'll be
competing one at a time,

the order is going to be
determined by a random draw.

I have your names
inside this hat.

First up... Danny.

I don't want to go first.

I think there's a
little disadvantage

because people can
see what I'm doing,

but here I am, first.

- Everybody ready to go?
- Yes, sir. -Ready.

All right. You guys
can watch back here.

Danny, stand on the manhole.

- Good luck, Danny. - Thanks.

When you hear the work whistle blow,
it's time to go to work.

I've never had to
pace a garbage truck before.

...But I need a
win today to have the power,

so I'm just going
as hard as I can,

zigzag back and forth and
get as many bags as possible.

- Come on, Danny!
- Come on, Danny.

Let's go, Danny. - Man.

Whoa!

I grab the first two bags,
throw them in.

I grab the next two
bags and I realize

the truck is already moving.

Oh, dang.

Going to both sides of the road,

- even running backwards.
- I'm trying to grab every bag,

but some are much
heavier than others.

- - Oh, he drops one.

Most difficult part
for me is the endurance.

There's no all-out
sprinting in drywall.

Ah!

So much for zigzagging
to each side of the street.

Now he can't catch the truck.

It's like a little kid trying
to catch the school bus.

Come on!

Whoa. Whoa.

- Whoo! - Good job, Danny!

Man, he is absolutely winded.

Damn. If he's winded... oh, boy.

I'm disappointed
in my performance.

I wish I would've, uh,
thought a little more about strategy

instead of, "Hey,
let's just get them all."

- 18 for Danny. - 18.

- Good job, Danny.
- Good job, Dan.

The dad bod got tired.

- All right, Murph.
- Keep at it, Murph.

Watching Danny,
the truck is just going too fast

to try to zigzag back and forth.

So I'm gonna really
stick with just working

the left side of the street,

grabbing two bags at each stop

and just try to keep
pace with the truck.

Murph,
if you want to avoid overtime,

you got to beat
at least 18 bags.

One of our physical fitness
tests in the Marine Corps

is a three-mile run with a load,
so...

this challenge is
something that I'm used to.

Look at that.

Throwing those in
there like it's nothing.

As I'm watching Murph,

I counted one side of
the street had 11 spots.

That alone is 22 bags.

Eighteen.

Get two more in there.
Two more in there.

One, two. Oh...

Wow.

My strategy was wrong.

His was awesome.

And 20 for Murph.

And that's why he took the lead.

Good job. - Wow.

Young,
you've got to beat Murph's bag count

of 20,
if you want to stay out of overtime.

I'm a little
in my head right now

because I definitely don't
want to do overtime again.

Now I'm thinking just, you know,

keep up with the truck,
'cause the further the truck gets away

from me,
the longer you have to sprint again.

- Okay, that's good.
- Come on, Young!

I'm just
running as fast as I can.

I'm not losing.

- Come on, Young!
- Come on, Young!

Ooh!

Whoa! - He fell.

Oh, man.

Is he all right?

- Oh! - He fell again.

Come on, Young!

Oh, man!

I think I stepped on the bag.

I don't know what happened.

Damn.

Right now,
I'm thinking to myself,

I'm going back into overtime.

Well, Murph, that does mean

you're safe from overtime.

Linda, you're up next.

- Go, Linda!
- And she's off.

Linda, don't forget,
you got to beat Danny's score

of 18 bags to stay safe.

When I am
going into a competition,

I truly am, you know,
one-on-one with God,

and just trying to let
go and trust in Him.

I know I'm strong,
and I know I'm tough,

but sometimes that
can only get you so far.

So I need to maintain focus,
composure, and get enough bags

to avoid overtime.

Look at that.
She's going from one side.

- Put that in there.
- Pacing herself.

- That girl is running.
- But she's got power.

Get one more, just get one more,
Linda. Get one more bag!

Just fling it in there!

She's running out of room.

Fling it in there, girl!

- Come on!
- Got in. Ooh, good. Good.

She did good.

Linda's got 17 bags,

and now she's on the bubble.

Danny, you're out of overtime.

- Get it! - Come on, Myles!

Whoa. Nice little move.

Straightaway, two bags.

I am not going to overtime.

I'm here for a reason.

I got a family at home, man.

- I got to pull through.
- He's zigzagging.

- What? What?
- What? What? -Oh, man.

After seeing Murph,

my strategy is to
collect as many as I can

on one side of the street.

Three at one time? Really?

But almost
immediately after takeoff,

my knee's kind of bothering me,

so I damn near throw my
whole strategy out the window.

Whoa. Has he
got the energy to keep on going?

This is making me so nervous.

Oh!

- Get up, get up! - Get up!

Get up!

Oh!

- Get up, get up!
- Get up. Get up!

Myles just dropped to the ground,
and...

Running with a couple bags,
and I step down,

and my knee just
gives out on me.

- Get up! - Get up!

- Get up, Myles. - Sheesh.

Get up!

- Come on, Myles! - Keep going.

- He's limping. - Keep going!

Every step I take, my knee just

isn't really carrying me.

Man, that's a bummer.

I hope his knee's all right.

I hope I grabbed enough bags

to beat at least one
of these folks out here.

Really, two, you know,
so I don't end up in overtime.

Eleven.

- Twelve. - Ah...

Thirteen.

Thirteen.

Linda, that means you're safe.

And, Young, Myles, right now

- you're lined up for O.T.
- All right.

I'm thinking, okay,
now it's Myles and I in overtime,

but we still have
more people to go,

and one mistake can definitely
mess up the whole thing.

- Come on, Michelle!
- Go, Michelle! -Go, Michelle!

So far,
the lowest bag count from Young and Myles.

I am in this because
my husband believes in me.

He has gone through
several different rounds

of cancer treatment,
and he's depending on me.

So I have a goal
and I'm going for it.

She got it.

Michelle throws bags
around for a living.

I've got an advantage.

If I can handle 50-pound
bags at the airport,

it's not that hard.

Seeing the other
participants stumble,

I'm gonna do everything I
can to make sure I stay upright.

- - Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Just like Myles and Young,

I get tripped up by the bags,

and now I'm gonna see
overtime for the third time.

Great job, Michelle.

Great job.

How's that for effort?!

Unfortunately,
you do have the lowest number of bags.

And since there's
only one run left,

you will be going into overtime.

That was inspiring

for all of us that
were watching her,

but I'm just happy I'm
not in overtime right now.

All right, Callie,
give it everything you got.

Callie's still in the race,
but my count is 13 bags.

I'm really hoping it's enough
to keep me out of overtime.

Final run, Callie,

and you've got to beat Myles's13
bags to stay out of overtime.

My strategy is to just get
enough bags so that I'm safe.

Watch that bump.

You know,
at some point I lose count.

I'm just focusing
more on my footwork,

because I know if I fall,
I won't be able to catch up.

Callie, you in there, girl.

I get to the end,
and I seethe truck cross the finish line.

Oh, she's running out of room!

And I think that I am short.

I think I have 12.

- I - don't... didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

- All right, Nick, let's get the count.
- Oh, God.

Multiple people have
been taken out of contention

because of the smallest error.

- Eleven.
- Got to beat 13.

- Twelve.
- Is there any more in there?

- And 13. - Oh.

- - Phil.

- Is that one more?
- She has 14!

Get your a*s back in the truck.

Relief?

I'm in the top six.

I'm pumped.

All right,
Callie, congratulations.

You are not going into overtime.

It does mean that the winner of the day,
Murph,

you will have a powerin
the next individual challenge

that will give you an
advantage over everybody else.

All right, Michelle,
so how manytimes have you been into O.T.?

This is my third-third
move in there.

You took out Lee,
then you took out Luis.

You're a little bit of a mankiller,
I would say.

And now you're up against Myles.

And, Myles,
you must be a little nervous.

I'm gonna try my hardest,
and I'm hoping that it's something

in my wheelhouse that-that
I'll have a little edge on.

Myles and Michelle,
I will see you in overtime.

And the rest of you,
I have a little treat in store.

Hook your boy up.

I got you, brother.

Thank you.

Now, this is surprising,

- ain't it? - Yeah.

We are in the backyard and...

there are burgers,
fries... You know, everybody

enjoying themselves... Beer,
sodas, whatever...

Just-just enjoying themselves.

Michelle,
I would hire you on my boat

in an absolute heartbeat!

If I end up being half
the woman you are

when I'm your age, I'll,
I'll consider myself tough.

You just make me
smile when you say that.

Ah,
'cause... And I mean it so much.

You scare the... out
of everybody here.

Now there's not many
of us left and you're one

of the scariest forces...
Not only are you strong,

but you're smart
and you're technical

and I know if I have
to go against you

in overtime ever,
I'm gonna be scared.

I like Myles.

He's on my team, Dirty Hands.

But, like, I love Michelle.

And if I was Myles,
I would be scared going against Michelle

in overtime,
because she's the new O.T. O.G.

and he's injured.

She'll outwork him
if he's not careful.

You can kick my a*s, Michelle.

I'll be talking about
you for the rest of my life

- guaranteed. -

I am holding
my own with kids half my age.

I'm so determined to win.

The day is not over.

That's all I got to say.

Today is not over yet.

As you know,

you were the last to finish
the individual competition,

which means that you are
now going into overtime.

By the end of this,
one of you will be cut

from the individual competition,
losing your shot

at the individual
Tough As Nailstitle.

There's $200,000 at
stake here for one of you.

That's right, that's big bucks

and I'm looking
forward to getting it.

And, Myles,
I know you've been eyeing up that truck.

Yeah,
yeah. The truck and the money, man.

I got bills to pay and-and
a kid to feed and...

He should definitely be nervous.

Definitely be nervous.

For two reasons...
She's a garden person

and in that brick challenge,

she got busy in that brick challenge,
so...

you have some competition.

In front of you,

there's a perfectly finished

circle of paving stones.

Your job today in overtime

is to complete the exact
same pattern on your patio.

The first one to
finish will be safe.

And the last to finish
will be punching out.

This job is all about
attention to detail.

Including the octagon
brick in the center,

there are four
different shaped bricks.

If you don't place them in the right order,
it won't fit.

- All right, you ready to get to work?
- Yes, sir.

- All right, then get on your respective workstations.
- All right.

I thought I could
stay with the middle of the pack

and be fine,
but after losing the individual challenge

and also losing the
last team challenge,

I realized I need to put a
little more pep in my step,

so I'm gonna bring
everything I have in this one.

I got one more chance.

I'm going to do
what I can so that

my daughter, my three boys,

my husband...

They're real proud of me.

I'm gonna show them

I'm not done yet.

Are you ready to do some paving?

- Oh, yeah. - Ready.

Time to go to work.

- Let's go, guys! - Oh, yeah!

Michelle has decided to
sort the four different shaped

bricks right out of the gate.

Come on, Myles!

Good job!

There's four different
shapes and sizes

of stones that can be laid

in this puzzle.

My first step is to
lay a stone down

from the outside to the middle

so that my first stone in each
row of the circle is completed.

Then I'm just seeing this as a big,
beautiful puzzle.

We know Michelle
is extremely good with details.

The last time she
worked with bricks,

building a wall, she beat Myles.

- You know that. - I know.

I like
working with stone pavers.

I've put some paver
steps in my yard.

Come on, Michelle!

So I have every intention

to whup his a*s

because I want this win.

Good job,
Michelle! Come on, Myles!

There you go, Myles.

Working out from the center.

Michelle is one of
the smartest people

I've come across in my life.

She's completing
her task very well.

I know that she's gonna
bring everything she has.

I can't count
Michelle out at all.

Good job!

Michelle with the center stones.

There's four different
types of stones.

They've got to
figure out the subtle

differences between them all.

Some have square edges,
some have round edges.

I want to make sure

that I get those center pieces

in one pile and I've got to find

all those curved edges
for that second row.

- Come on, Michelle, let's go!
- Come on, Michelle.

I kind of had a
mental shift before this job.

I realized that

a warrior ha... Needs
to have a calm mind,

but he also has
to be willing to fight

for what he wants...
I got to pull through.

I don't want a silly mistake

to have me lose this competition

when I know I have
more in the tank.

- Come on, come on, come on!
- Myles almost halfway

through his pattern
here if he's got it right.

Come on, Michelle.

Focus on your plan.

I see that truck in your driveway,
man.

- Don't let me down.
- Thanks, man.

- - Appreciate you.

You know, Myles is on my team,

so I definitely want him to win,

but I really feel that
Michelle's gonna win this,

'cause that's what she do,
she's a maneater.

She ain't no joke.

Michelle likes beating up on men,
man.

- Focus on what you're doing.
- Oh, she does.

And if there is one thing
we know about her...

- What's that?
- ...she's about working

- smarter not harder, right?
- Right, right.

And we're seeing that now again.

I know I took those two guys out

and I'm thinking, boy,

if I can get Myles out,

ain't no stopping me.

You looking good, Myles.

Yep, pick it up, pick it up.

Just pick it up a little bit,
Myles.

Full force though,
rest of the way through!

The rest of the way through,
haul a*s!

There you go!

Keep going, guys!

- Stay focused.
- Come on, Michelle!

Come on, Myles!

He's looking good.

I start to realize

because I didn't make
a continuous circle,

I'm short about two inches,

and I've got to shove the brick.

These are precious
moments ticking away.

You got six bricks left, Myles.

Six bricks left!

The spaces are getting

really tight...
I'm having to kick

stones over just to make room.

If I falter one bit,
I'm gonna lose.

Myles now down to his last

few bricks,
but are they gonna fit?

Five bricks
left! You looking good!

What color... what color truck you want,
Myles?

Michelle getting
very close on her end, too.

- Stay detailed.
- Don't give up, Michelle.

You're getting it, mama.

He-he can straighten that out.

Good job! Yep, do not stop!

- Uh-oh. - Stay detailed.

You're good, Michelle!

Move faster! Move faster!
She's right behind you.

- She is right behind you!
- Attention to detail.

We have a winner!

You have completed the paving,
congratulations!

- Good job, Myles! - All right!

- Good job, Myles!
- Myles, you're safe.

Michelle, great job.

Thank you.

Oh, I'm so proud of you, Myles.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

I came through on top.

I didn't hold back anything.

And such a worthy opponent.

She's just such a great woman.

But I'm happy that
I get to continue on

in the individual competition.

I've made it this far and I just

got to keep pushing forward
and-and trying my best.

Myles, congratulations.

You're still in contention
for the individual

Tough As Nailstitle.

And that truck that
you want so bad.

- - Good job,
good job, good job.

Michelle,
you are one tough woman.

She is one tough cookie, man.

Unfortunately, you have lost

your shot at the
Tough As Nailstitle.

Time for you to punch out.

Y'all bring it to that finish.

The good news is, Michelle,

you're still in contention
for the team competition.

There's lots of money to be won.

So don't give up.

And your team is behind you.

- Right, Savage Crew?
- Absolutely.

And we're on a roll.

- If you don't mind, the Savage Crew gonna rally around you.
- My babe.

This defeat is not
gonna take me down.

I'm here for my team to the end.

And I could see
they're here for me.

Tough is not a look.

Tough is...

whatever is in your
heart to get you to the end.

- Come here, my girls. - Ah!

Michelle, let me get... Let
me get mine in here, girl.

- Ah... -

You've been hanging back,
you've been hanging back!

Next week onTough As Nails...

$60,000 is on the line.

We need this victory.

Debris flying
everywhere right now.

The wind has shifted around,
making it very, very difficult.

We feel like we
can catch up to them.

I feel that they
a little scared.

Come on, Myles, let's go!

And in the
individual competition...

Down to six people. Gonna
get tougher and tougher

until there's only
one of you left.

- - Yeah!

Show us how it's done!

Look how relaxed.

My training might help me out.

It's like a maze.

This is his third
time walking past the entrance.

He's going right
back where he started.
