Welcome to Battle of the Fittest Couples.
I'm Jordan Rogers and this is my gorgeous fiance, Jojo Fletcher.
We've conducted a nationwide search for the strongest,
toughest, fittest couples in the country
and you are the final 12 that made the cut.
Congratulations. All right, so you all are
going to be living in this mansion together
and competing in some grueling challenges
that are going to be more physically
and mentally demanding
than anything you've ever experienced in your lives.
Your relationships are about to be tested to the limit.
Don't forget why we're really here.
You're competing for a grand prize of $100,000.
It's a lot of money.
That's right. That's a whole lot of protein powder.
When we win the $100,000, it is going all into our wedding.
We're flying straight to Prague to be married in Prague Castle,
which is Guinness Book,
the largest castle on this planet.
And I get to marry my Prince Charming.
All right, guys. We knew you were going to be jacked up,
so we made sure to get you an extra jacked up home to stay in.
Pretty sweet, right? You guys ready to go check it out?
Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, hold up, hold up, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're here to compete first because it's time
for your very first main event challenge.
We just walked up to this house, and then they're like,
"And it's time to go compete."
Don't make yourself comfortable.
One of you is about to be the first losing couple.
Okay, guys, let's get to it. Meet us at the lake.
What is that ramp? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So I'm coming down this dirt path,
I see this big ramp and I'm feeling queasy.
Couples, welcome to your first main event challenge.
Now, let me explain how all this is going to work.
Every challenge is going to have a winning team
and a losing team.
The losing team is automatically up for elimination.
The winning team is going to be safe from elimination
and they're going to have the power
to choose which team will join the losers
in a head-to-head battle at the rage cage.
Okay.
Sound intimidating?
Yeah, a little bit.
It is.
The rage cage to me just sounds like fire and fighting,
and I'm just like, "I have no interest in going there."
All right, guys, you ready for your first challenge?
Yeah. Let's do it.
We like to call it the Tow Job.
We're about to put every inch of your athleticism to the test.
From strength and endurance to willpower and heart.
We've constructed a giant ramp right here with one job,
to send one of you flying as far as possible into that water.
There's a buoy out there about a hundred feet out
and a flag back here on shore.
You're going to have to choose which one of you
is going to be the launcher
and which one is going to be the swimmer.
The launchers job is to pull a bungee cord
weighted down with over 250 pounds of tension.
From there, you'll trigger a trip wire
launching your partner off the ramp.
The swimmer, as soon as you get your bearings,
go around the buoy, back to shore
and grab this flag as quickly as possible.
The fastest team to grab the flag, they win.
The team with the slowest time, will go to the rage cage
and be up for elimination. All right, Erin, Jordan.
You guys are up first.
She's swimming. I'm launching.
All right. Yep.
Let's go. Let's do it.
I'm going to be able to pull at a really good speed.
She's a really efficient swimmer
and her endurance is pretty unreal.
I think we have the perfect combination here.
Yeah.
Three, two, one, go.
Biggest competition for us just off the get go
is Jordan and Erin.
They look like the fittest couple here,
so a lot of targets are going to be put on their backs.
Almost there, baby. Almost there, almost there.
So I can deadlift 275 for 20 reps.
This was a lot harder than that.
He found out just how heavy that rope actually is.
It's lifting a heavy amount of weight over,
and over, and over, and over, and over, and over,
and then 20 more times.
Let's go.
Oh, use your legs, Erin. Use your legs.
Wow.
Well, that was a hell of a time.
We control our destiny right now whatsoever.
There's no chance that we're losing.
However, I do think some couples are intimidated by us.
Three, two, one, go.
Let's go,
I see you, young blood.
Keep going.
We're the youngest, we're the strongest, we're the fastest.
Definitely.
We definitely have youth on our side.
He is moving. He is moving.
You got it.
Mike looks like an Oak tree. Look at his legs.
He looks like he eats cinder block for breakfast.
Yeah.
Let's go, Jaret. You got it. You got this.
We are definitely one of the smallest couples in the house.
We have our work cut out for us.
Come on, Andy.
God is so good.
Lord willing, we will take this home.
I think I'm ready. I mean, I'm a man. Look.
Pull it, pull it, pull it. Come on, big dog.
You're right there. Big pulls, Jaret.
Let's go, let's go.
Let's go. Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Let's go. He's slowing down.
He's still going with the seated grip.
I've given it everything I got.
It's very quickly becoming more and more difficult.
My lungs are on fire, starting to get gassed.
I'm starting to think this is a big mistake.
Thanks for watching.
