Day 1
The first day is used to get to know each other. They come together in a hotel in Sevilla, Spain and introduce themselves. No challenge this day.

Day 2
All contestants are together in the lobby. The host (Marcin Meller) arrives, carrying a suitcase with plastic bags in it. He hands over a plastic bag to everyone and they have to put their passports, credit cards, cell phones and things like that in it. Then the bags are put in the suitcase. It's just for safety reasons, so they don't lose it during the challenges. And also so they can't use it to help them in the challenges.
Then he gives the group an envelope and 2 maps. They have to drive from San Lucar  to Isla Minima to a bullring.

They have to fight a bull calf and can win 15,000 PLN with it. They have to avoid the attacks of the bull and they can do a tienta (let the calf fall on the ground). I don't know for sure, but the tienta probably earns them extra money or they can exempt someone.

Wojtek goes first. The others cheer at him to encourage him. He manages to do a tienta.
Daniel is second. He can avoid the calf about five times with the muleta (the piece of cloth they use) like a real toreador and then hides behind one of the partitions. Everyone's applauding and cheering and Daniel waves at them. But then all of a sudden, the calf manages the get behind the partition too! Daniel and the cameraman flee away from it, run round the partition wall and enter it again as the calf gets out of it on the other side.
Hanka enters the ring next. She avoids the calf three times, but then her muleta gets stuck behind one of the horns of the calf. She drops it and as the calf attacks the muleta, she runs behins one of the partitions to hide.
Jola is the fourth contestant to have a go at it. She can grab the calf's tail and swings it on the ground, doing a tienta. Darek, who's next, does it in the same way.
Bartek avoids the calf 5 times and then quickly flees behind one of the partitions.
Joanna is next. She avoids the calf a few times, but then it's standing on the muleta. She doesn't see it and falls over. The calf tries to attack her and pushes her. Everyone's looking at it silently and they're quite scared something's wrong with her. Help arrives and it turns out she's ok.
Beata is number 8 to go. The calf hits her when she tries to avoid it. She screams, but persists in doing her task and avoids the calf 2 times.
Mirek is up next and he gets the calf on the ground, thus doing a tienta.
Roman too does a tienta after avoiding the calf 2 times.
Barbara is very afraid to enter the ring. But she does it anyway and avoids the calf 2 times.
The challenge is a success! Unfortunately I don't know what the tientas mean. And Dorota did not enter the ring. Maybe she refused to, or maybe she got exempt by someone.

Day 3 - Sevilla
It's morning and they're all having breakfast. Suddenly someone puts an envelope on one of the tables they're sitting at. Mirek reads it out loud. It's the instructions for the next assignment.

They are going to do the ATM challenge. First they get some time to learn information of each other by heart. Things as age, telephone number, height,...
Then they have to select two people they think have a good memory. The group immediately chooses Mirek. The second one will be Hanka.

Mirek and Hanka are shown a map on a computer. Using the information they have just learned, they can erase squares on that map. If more squares disappear, the area they can find the ATM at, gets smaller too. Later on they will have to find the ATM and use a bank pass and the correct code to withdraw money from the ATM. They have an hour and a half to do so and can win 5,000 PLN.
In the other room, the remain ten contestants are still discussing the information they read on the boards and going over it.
Hanka and Mirek start entering the information they have to enter into the computer. They make a mistake and can't get up with the correct answer. They decide to get help from Dorota. They can ask someone to help theù, but that costs 15 minutes from their time. They have 1 hour 5 minutes and 30 seconds left.
With the help of Dorotha, they manage to fidn the correct address of the ATM. Now they have 59 minutes and 10 seconds left to find the code of the bank card. To find that code, they have to solve a big mathematical problem. things such as 'Daniel's age multiplied by Joanna's shoe size'. The three of them can fill in some of the things, but then they're stuck and need help. They ask Darek to help them. Their time is reduced from 49 minutes 50 seconds to 34 minutes 50 seconds.
He can help them a bit further, but then they get stuck again! Again they ask someone to help them. This time it's Barbara. Their timee goes from 29 : 05 to 14 : 05. Dorota seems to take control of everything and wants to lead it all.

Hanka and Darek already leave to go find the ATM, while the others still try to find the correct code.
There's 6 minutes left and the two have found the ATM. Darek calls Mirek, but he can't get into contact with him. We also see Mirek trying to contact Darek. Are they both trying to reach each other on the same time?
Hanka tries to call again and she gets through. Mirek and Darek start discussing about the code. They have 3 minutes left... but keep on discussing. Then they finale find the code. Darek immediately tries it... but it's wrong!
Mirek, Barbara and Dorota forgot to add the different numbers they came up with. One minute and 50 seconds left and they quickly try to add the numbers, while Hanka and Darek are anxiously waiting. The three think they have found the code and tell the other two. They have 20 seconds left and try the code. The ATM screen says: xxx please wait xxx and then switches to 'You forgot your personal number'. Time's up, the challenge is a failure...

Elimination
The elimination in Poland isn't done with red and green tv screens, but during dinner. Each contestant is appointed a seat at the dinner table, where they will have to sit every elimination time. They have an envelope in front of their plates. After dinner, the host hands them a letter-opener, with which they have to open the envelope. The contestants decide who they want to give the letter-opener to. Inside the envelope is either a green or a red feather. The green feather means you can stay. The red feather, however, means you are eliminated. However, I'm going to stick to the red and green screens. Click and find out who gets eliminated first...
