Steel pushed at Annie with her stick while taking some hits. Annie fell forward onto Steel’s podium & was disqualified at 18 secs. PYRAMID As the crowd cheered, "Let's go Yoko," Yoko took her time & danced around to avoid CRUSH. Crush grabbed Yoko & sent her flying head over heels. Yoko had many more tumbles & later said, "It's not nice to pick on the little old lady." Annie was quick to climb the pyramid but PANTHER wrestled her down and her helmet came off. Annie had a shoving match with Panther and once pulled at the gladiator’s foot. She said the event ended too early HANG TOUGH Yoko went against the undefeated SIREN and made good time across the rings. Siren missed a ring and got turned around allowing Yoko to hold on and earn 5 points Annie swung out into the middle and soon grabbed the same ring as SIREN. Siren pulled at the ring and kicked towards Annie’s face. She fell off after 12 secs. WALL Yoko was 1/3 of the way up the wall before VENOM grabbed at her heels. Yoko held onto one grip as Venom got a hold of both her legs and pulled off one of her shoes. Yoko fell after 24 secs. 0 pts. Annie kept ahead of PHOENIX the whole time. She made it to the top of the wall in 49 seconds. She surprised herself and celebrated her victory at the top. SNAPBACK Yoko crawled forward and CRUSH fell down on her platform. Yoko made it to the 4- point zone when the time ran out. Crush told her, "Good job girl!" 4 points. Annie ran forward but was pulled back by HELLGA. Annie grunted and kept falling, never making it to a scoring zone. She said she felt like she was pulling a freight train. 0 pts. SIDESWIPE Yoko jumped across the platforms to get past JET & SIREN. She dove onto the next to avoid a collision with PHOENIX. On her way back, she faked out Phoenix & jumped onto the platform. Phoenix hit her on her way back & knocked Yoko off after 20 secs. 1 pt. Annie went quickly across and avoided JET, SIREN and PHOENIX but she forgot to bring a ball back with her to the other side. On her 3rd trip across, she was struck by Phoenix - who took Annie’s shoe as a trophy. She lasted 16 secs & got 1pt. SCORE YOKO 10 ANNIE 11 Annie had a 0.5 second head start and she got out of the water and up the cargo net first. She showed a lot of determination on the hand bike but fell off right at the end. She fell face first off the zip line and grabbed the rope on the travelator on her first try. She pulled herself to the top and reached the finish in (3:00). She said she was a “Baby Bear!” Yoko swam well but fell behind on the cargo ELIMINATOR net. She made it across the rope swing, slipped on the tightrope and dropped immediately off the hand bike. It seemed like she was lost in the ball pit, but she eventually got out and flew off the log. She ran out of gas on the pyramid but kept smiling. Yoko was cautious on the balance beam and fell several times on the travelator. After it was stopped, she kept slipping and dislocated her arm before reaching the top. Her time was (7:49.19) The crowd loved her.
