Ron has an extra 37 pounds, Mike has 53 pounds, Filipe has 67 pounds, Aubrey has 72 pounds, Sione has 92 pounds, Helen has 215 pounds, and Tara has an additional 257 pounds. Eh, 257 pounds on top of two tons doesn't even sound that bad. In addition to immunity, the winner of the challenge will get to be a VIP guest at a Nascar race in October. Wow, that prize... sounds horrible.
The contestants get strapped up to their cars. Sione is certain he's going to win, but Tara wants everyone to catch her if they can. They start, and Sione busts into a sprint and takes an early lead. Mike is close behind him. Tara has a rough start, but is telling herself to keep moving. At about the halfway point, Sione's having some leg soreness. Tara starts gaining on him. She says that if you gave her 700 pounds she wouldn't stop. Unless she decided to throw the weigh-in and pout her way home. But no, she turned that corner with a car strapped to her neck. Tara initially felt defeated by the fact that everyone hated her, but now is channeling it into car-pulling rage. She passes Mike, which is in fact pretty thrilling. Tara may get whiny every once in a while, but the fact is that she's relentlessly kick-ass. I hope she wins.
Tara gets really close to Sione, and Laura notes that she's both pissed and determined. And with that, Tara takes a commanding lead. She wins! It's awesome. She's bigger and stronger and more kick-ass than the biggest and strongest and kicking-assingest guys in the competition. Mikey takes second place followed by Sione, who is disappointed that Tara can kick his ass around a regulation Nascar track. Filipe finishes next, followed by Helen and Aubrey. Mike and Aubrey go back to help Ron and avoid being at the track until the wee hours of the morning. Tara gets immunity, the VIP pass, and some speedy victory laps around the track with Clint.
