Tough As Nails

Previously on Tough as Nails...

- Come on, guys! - Push it!

- One, two, three! - Dirty Hands

put it in high gear...

- It's in there, it's in there. - Thumbs-up.

...and won their first team challenge.

- Whoo, baby. - Then, in the individual challenge, Murph...

Mission accomplished.

...picked apart the competition...

You will have a huge advantage

in the next individual challenge.

...while Melissa and Young stalled.

- I want to cry, Phil! - Let's go, let's go!

Treading into overtime...

- Let's go! - ...Melissa hit a speed bump...

Hold your head up high. We respect you.

...and punched out of the individual competition.

I don't have any regrets, but it sucks.

- Tonight... - Get in, get in!

- Yes, baby. - Go, go, go!

...both teams battle it out on the farm.

- No, no, no. - But will they get their wires crossed?

- Is it at the right height? - And Murph's advantage...

Do I want to set people up

for success or set them up for failure?

...causes tempers to explode.

You have to tell me. I don't know what you're thinking.

I'm talking to a wall. Use your words.

Who will stay in the battle to beTough As Nails champion...

You're strong as your weakest link.

...and win $200,000? - Run!

Talk about a comeback!

- And who... - You cannot give up on me.

...will punch out?

Thanks, guys, for your supporting me yesterday.

I thought I had it, I'm not gonna lie...

We did, too. - We did, too.

...but it is what it is.

I'm out of the individual competition,

which is a big bummer.

However, there's so much money on the line.

We're all banking on winning

as many of the team jobs as we can.

Melissa.

Check this out.

Oh, look at the cows. I love cows.

I feel a little better,

walking out of the van.

We're at a farm!

I feel like I'm back at home.

Hey, Luis,

does this look like the Bronx?

Far from that.

It does not look like D.C. at all.

Give me some country tips.

Country tips? - Yeah.

My grandpa owned a farm in...

Detasseling corn and stuff like that.

I think you gonna be the captain today.

Well, still, let'sfigure out what the objective...

- Just to make sure. Yeah. - Before we decide.

Come on over, everybody.

We are at a tie with Dirty Hands,

so we really need to step it up

to make sure that we get this win.

- Good morning, everybody. - Good morning, Phil.

Morning.

Welcome to another Tough As Nails team challenge.

And, Melissa, I'm figuring you feel right at home here.

It smells good.

Now,

everybody knows this is barbwire.

It's been around since the 1800s,

and once farmers had this, it changed farming forever.

They could contain livestock like they never could before.

As you can see, there are two incomplete pens behind you.

Your job is to finish the two sections of fence

using four wooden posts, eight metal T-posts,

four lines of barbed wire and a gate,

all under the watchful eye of ranch manager Dwight.

Good morning.

Your fence needs to be straight

and the barbed wire needs to be tight.

No sagging wire, just like those sections

of finished fence over there.

All the supplies you needare back there at the farm shed.

To get them, you've got a Ford Super Duty truck.

When you hear the work whistle blow,

you're gonna go looking for your keys,

which are hidden in the haystacks over here.

First team to get all thefencing done and close the gate,

you win the $12,000 and today's Badge of Honor.

Right now, the team score stands at one win apiece.

There are six team challenges left and in the end,

the team with the most wins overall

will get a cash bonus prize

of $60,000.

That's $10,000 each,

so make every team challenge count.

First thing you got to do, pick a boss.

- Melissa... - Think it's pretty... piece of cake right here.

- Choose you. - I'll be the boss.

- Murph, you good with this? - No, actually...

I want to be digging and working,

so we need somebody else to do direct...

I know how to dig, because I know how to use those tools.

Today's driving stakes, drilling.

The people that can use that kind of equipment

- shouldn't be in the lead. - I tie rebar all day.

Tying that on is not that different than tying rebar.

Tara's better suited to be the leader

because she knows how to tie off metal.

We'll do the heavy work, you give us the lead direction.

All right, everybody.

Who's gonna be in charge today?

- Melissa. I figured as much. - Yes.

Melissa, you got his vote.

Yeah.

- I thought Tara was. - No, I don't want to lead.

I don't want it.

I'm not comfortable being a team leader.

I've never built a fence before.

All I know of it is knowing how to tie.

- All right. - All right,

what about you guys, Savage Crew?

So, Savage Crew is born of just natural leaders,

so we're gonna have Murph take the lead on this.

You guys ready to get your hands dirty?

- Yeah! - Yes, yes, yes.

All right, let's get geared up.

No, I should not be the leader, but Marines

are natural-born leaders.

I'm comfortable enough with my leadership ability

to get a second win today.

May the best team win.

Get those keys...

Get those keys.

Start digging them holes.

Go, go, go!

Yes, yes, yes. Murph!

Off to a flying start, Dwight.

Get in, get in, get in!

Yes, baby.

Go, go, go! - Go, go, go!

Both teams deciding to split up.

Two members of each team are staying behind

to get started with the post hole diggers.

The rest of the team are racing

to pick up supplies in their trucks.

Yeah.

All the supplies being loaded up into the trucks.

Got it... take them, take them, take them.

Luis is absolutely pounding that post hole digger.

And so is Myles.

Go, go, go!

No, get them all, get them all.

No, we don't need them all.

Don't go fast. Don't want anything falling out.

Dirty Hands got all their supplies

and they're rolling back to the jobsite.

- Come on, come on. - Come on, Michelle.

Come on. How they keep getting a jump on us?

Luis already moving on to another hole.

Lee moving up the hill. We have an even race.

Are you gonna start laying out all the posts?

Me and Melissa are gonna start on the metal posts.

Yes, all the posts need to be laid out.

This is what we do at home.

All right, here come the teams.

Just take those augers.

Take those augers and start digging.

To pull out this win...

Callie's laying them out.

Just start pounding them in.

Get those augers moving.

...we want to make sure

we're communicating with each other

and we're maximizing on each other's strengths.

Here goes Luis now, digging down.

Murph, working away, drilling the holes.

Remember, you have to set four wooden posts,

eight metal T-posts and thenstring four rows of barbed wire

to complete your fence and get the job done.

I do drive a lot of posts

and put up forest service signs.

The post hole digger, it's good to get

the soil out of the hole,

but the auger is really gonna dig deeper.

Lee, working that auger.

Very tough ground to get through.

Ground is very hard.

Jam it down, pull the dirt out, keep jamming down.

It's all upper body strength.

So it gonna take a lot of energy out of you.

Power it, power it! One more!

Linnett on the T-post driver, pounding.

They got to get these posts all the way down

so that the orange mark is covered up.

And take a look at Melissa hammering away.

Out of the individual competition and so now,
