Elimination[]
Pit: Spun Out
Players will start at the top of a platform and position themselves onto a swing which will continuously spin until they reach the ground. Once on the ground, players must then stand on one leg on a platform for 10 seconds. Upon doing this the player's time will be stopped and they must once again spin their way on the swing until reaching the ground again. This time, they must stack multiple logs in one column. The player to complete both tasks in the shorter amount of time will win while the loser and their bloodline will be eliminated.
