Rug Pull

The Rug Pull is an obstacle, used as the first obstacle in the Qualifier of Season 2, Episode 6.

It is an offset beam with three rugs placed on each side that contestants must run across to get to the other side. As soon as they step on the rugs, they then get swiftly pulled to the left, tripping them up and sending them into the mud below. A set of stairs is placed in between both sets, forcing them to climb up and attempt the second set if they fail the first one.

It was replaced by the Spiked Fenders in the next episode.

Other Season Appearances[]

Season 3[]

The Rug Pull later appeared as the third obstacle in the Circular Challenge of Season 3. This time, there are three rug platforms to run across, each with a gap in between the platforms. Also, the mechanism for the pull is hidden underneath each platform instead of being done on the side.

Variations:

In episode 10, the rug platforms weren’t pulled.

Only two contestants cleared this obstacle: Danielle Jones and David Hutchison (both from episode 10).
