The Gauntlet (S03E01)

In the Season Three opener, contestants face off in a dramatic shooting match featuring what many hail as the most formidable handgun ever made. The victors will unite to form one team, while the defeated will create the opposing squad. Their first team challenge is a grueling race requiring each group to maneuver a hefty pole weighing over 200 pounds across eight-foot-high firing platforms. For the elimination round, contestants are tested on their marksmanship in a challenge reminiscent of the Old West, where sharpshooters defend stagecoaches. The competitors must shoot accurately while bouncing in a stagecoach, with one contestant ultimately being eliminated. Colby Donaldson returns as host.
