Savage Crew even out their scores on Tough as Nails

Tonight's episode of Tough as Nails began with the cast members reflecting on their previous task. As Savage Crew lagged behind one point for the team challenge, they were determined to do their best to win. Meanwhile, Dirty Hands, who had established a lead, decided they would continue the same. The first squad to reach six team wins would win a cash prize of $60,000.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Rise and Grind, reads:

"Crew members compete in pairs to shrink wrap a large container, with the last couple to finish facing the overtime challenge where one person will be eliminated from the individual competition."

The Tough as Nails contestants reached Crate Modular, an organization that makes buildings, houses, and other utitlites in houses using big containers. For the first challenge, the two teams had to measure and cut out doors and windows from two container modules each. Each module had four spaces to be cut out.

The teams had to assemble eight of the cut-out portions of the container with the help of a crane. Dirty Hands' team leader Ally wanted Jorge to cut the module, but Sergio felt he was better at it. Meanwhile Mister, who led Savage Crew, assigned members to do the work, and took an early lead in the challenge.

The Dirty Hands team struggled to cut the container as it was extremely thick and the blades were thin. Most of the teammates were inexperienced in the area, which delayed their process. Ally eventually realized that Jorge should take up the cutting part of the challenge as she shad uggested and they picked up pace on the Tough as Nails challenge.

However, it wasn't enough for them as Savage Crew, despite losing a few blade parts and running out on their 100 blades, managed to get their team to a win and tie up the scores to an even 3-3 with Dirty Hands.
