Episode Three: Oorah!

ROUND 1: THE SPEED ROUND - Three Ball Monty

Contestants, each armed with a backpack leaf blower, face off against each other. Between them are 3 beach balls. On go, the players compete to blow the balls place the other contestant. The player who blows the majority of balls passed the other player fastest wins the round. Best of three rounds wins.

ROUND 2: THE FINESSE ROUND - Shapes of Wrath

Contestants each have a log and a goal – cut four shapes – a parallelogram, a square, an equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle. The work is done with the chainsaw and the shapes that are cut have to align properly with a cutout for each of the four shapes. The contestant who finishes all four shapes first and then runs to the wall cutouts and fits them through the wall wins the challenge.

Leg 2: Egg Hunt!

Contestants face a maze-like course of flowerbeds with lots of hard turns that are placed into a green lawn. Armed with a zero-turn mower, the contestants must mow up all the flowers.The first one to rip up the flowers and make it to the finish line wins.

First off, my knowledge base on how to correctly and efficiently use an array of power tools. Second, just my size and strength. If all else fails, just over power the opposition.
