60 min.
A “Couples” edition finds four pairs of partners transferring cockroaches from one bin to another using their mouths. Also: One half of each team must unlock their significant other from an underwater chamber. Joe Rogan hosts.

Hmmm, seems like it could be an interesting spin on the regular format.

I was SOOOOOO happy to see the loud mouthed (female dog) Vena go home after her "mate" left her to drown!

Oh...that was just tooooooo good! lol

Kudos to the couples for transfering so many cockroaches! I think even they were surprised!

great caps Brian!

I missed the first couple's first stunt.

Also, what else did I miss? Why did they divvy up the prize money? I don't get it

[fluff]

When they wet on to the second stunt, Joe said that as only two couples made it past the first stunt they had decided to split the prize money and award $25,000 to the winners of stunt two and three.

I didn't really get it either.

Thanks Fluff.

So really I didn't miss anything. They just "decided" to do it.

That's lame. I understand them doing it when only one person or NO ONE at all makes it to stunt 2, but it didn't seem fair to me

[fluff]

I think the problem was that they would normally have eliminated whoever transferred the fewest cockroaches.
As there were only two couples they couldn't have an elimination that round so decided the only thing to do was award half the money to the winners of the second stunt.

D'oh! Of course

Now it makes sense
