Give Me A C, Give Me An H, Give Me An A, Give Me An L, Give Me An L, Give Me An E, Give Me An N, Give Me A G, Give Me An E! What's That Spell?

The second of an unknown number of challenges is underway at 3:15 in the afternoon. This challenge, showing our respect and worshipfulness of our ancestral ways, required each team to crabwalk the entire length of a football field minus 285 feet 3 times. The winner gets to select another ingredient, regardless of whether it has already been taken or not.

Again, 3 of the 5 teams made it out to the challenge. Andy represented the team with mostly white people by traversing the entire length on his own. The brother-sister combo of the Liangs represented the Po-Pos, and Yennie and Caroline represented the team of relatives of the Sponsor of this event (that can't be fair, can it?).

Through the battlefield and the struggles of inner and outer strength, the teams battled each other on their hands and feet with their backs to the floor to race for the finish line. Stephen tried to use his long arms and legs to his advantage by slowing down the other combatants. But in the end, Andy was able to out wrestle his way through the crowd and came out victorious.

After careful consideration and thorough plotting, Bree's team decided that they needed raspberries and must get some of those on their own. Now two teams will have raspberries, and we shall see which of these two desserts will rasp-bury their opponent into the ground.

Meanwhile, confident that they had all they needed, Tammi's and Wah's team continued on with their dessert making process, creating what can only be described and predicted as exquisite masterpieces of delicate taste and aroma. Even the giants at the Iron Chef stadium could not hold their ladels and pans up to what these teams will end up presenting.

Only about 2 hours left before the showdown, and the 5 teams are slaving away over some sort of kitchen equipment. The finale is close, and with so much tasty potential from all the teams, even the Gods themselves are envious of what will become a heavenly delight for all those involved in this event.
