Day 22
The group divides in two groups, an artistic one and one that can count to at least 751. Kathryn and Jim end up in the artistic team and Steve and Charlie are on the other team.
The latter group is sent to a field full of sheep. Their challenge is to herd the sheep together in a pen for $20,000. If they can also count them all, they earn an extra $10,000. They can choose a dog to help them. There are three dogs, but only one of them is a good one. They choose the wrong dog. They start their challenge. Steve manages to get some sheep in the pen already, but Charlie makes a wrong move and the sheep run out again. After a while they get all sheep in the pen and start counting them. However, they decide to give up counting 'cause they might run out of time. They win $20,000.
Meanwhile the artistic team is brought to an art gallery. They have to make an art piece and if an art critic doesn't know which one they made, they win $20,000. They bring along a chest, a chair and a shattered piece of glass to create their work of art with. They use a pair of boxing gloves to create someone crawling out of a trunk and reaching for a set of jewels. Another piece they make is of a chair with one leg sawn off. The missing leg is replaced by some books. Then they have a third piece with pages of a book under broken glass with a hamer on it. They decide to go for the boxing gloves (which have the name Charlie printed on them). The art critic arrives. Jim and Kathryn see what happens on a monitor. In the beginning he thinks the piece of Jim and Kathryn isn't theirs and carries on. After a while though, she is doubting between a heart made of lemon slices and their piece. She decides the boxing gloves piece is made by Jim and Kathryn. She's right and the artistic team doesn't win $20,000.
But they get a second chance, 'cause The sheep team has to do the same. Only if they can get the right piece, they will win $20,000. Charlie doesn't think the boxing gloves piece is theirs, 'cause according to him Kathryn wouldn't make anything with a fighting theme. He also makes a nasty remark about Jim and the lemon heart by saying that it would be something for Jim because it's so 'fruity'. After a while they choose a piece of art made of a rope forming a question mark. They're wrong. Again no $20,000. Kathryn thought it would be easy for them to guess, because they know she collects sporting goods and the gloves even have the name CHARLIE.
The nthe sheep team can make a guess to the number of sheep. Steve guesses 417, Charlie 671. Anderson says it's 751 and reminds them back to earlier that day when he said he needed two persons who could count to 751.

Day 23
The contestants have to make a list of the people who they would like to see eliminated. Everyone votes. It doesn't matter who they want to see leaving the game, but it's important who they trust most. That's Steve. He has to convince the others to do some nasty challenges. If all team members do their challenge, they'll win $60,000 and Steve will get an exemption, letting him go to the final episode. If only two of them do it, they'll win the money, but there'll be no exemption. If only one person does his/her challenge, that person will get an exemption, but there will be no money. And if no one does it, then Steve has an exemption and again there is no money.
Steve has to choose who will do which challenge. Kathryn has to take part in a knife throwing act, Jim has to walk over hot coals and Charlie has to walk over a narrow plank over a ravine.
Kathryn gets blindfolded and is taken to the place where she has to do her challenge. She says she wants to do it. As she stands against the board she suddenly faints! Everyone rushes over to her to see if she's alright. Steve asks if she wants to continue and she does. But the knifethrower doesn't really throw the knife. He plants it next to her head.
Next is Jim, who has to walk over the hot coals. Again this one isn't real either. But Jim doesn't know that. He takes off his shoes and socks and runs over the cold coals with Steve next to him.
They have won the money now. Kathryn and Charlie thought Jim would do his challenge. So Charlie knows he doesn't really have to do his challenge anymore, unless he wants to give Steve the exemption. But can he be so sure? Maybe Jim didn't do his challenge after all or Kathryn lied about having done the challenge. Charlie decides to do his challenge too. And this challenge is totally real! Steve has to guide him over the plank. He succeeds and they win $60,000.
