[upbeat music playing]
[Terry] Tonight, we have Yunhwan Kim
from South Korea,
but we also have Yungyung Kim,
his younger brother.
[in Korean] I'd say we are like best friends.
We share the same room. We are roommates.
We encourage each other when times are tough.
[Terry] Now, for the first time, they're going head to head.
- Go! Go! Go! - Korea!
Whoa! Sizing up the competition.
[Terry] And in the end, one brother will stand above the other.
[in Korean] Korean Kim Yunhwan!
[Yungyung in Korean] My older brother will make it to the final with me,
but it's going to be me that wins the final match,
and my brother will lose.
Kim Yungyung!
[Terry] In the battle for family honor...
will the Beast's blood be thicker than their blood?
Rumble, Yun man, rumble!
[instrumental theme music playing]
Welcome to Ultimate Beastmaster. I'm Terry Crews.
And I am Charissa Thompson.
And guess what! Tonight we will see 12 more crazy competitors
from all over the world attempt to take on the Beast.
Earlier tonight, all of us had a chance to cheer on our competitors...
Oh, my! Whoa, whoa!
[Charissa] and here are the two brothers from South Korea,
pumped up and ready to do battle.
Go get 'em!
[Terry] But it takes guts and brains,
and that is exactly what the Beast likes to eat.
Now, let's get right into the action
with our first competitor.
[Charissa] Our first competitor is the oldest
of the two brothers from South Korea, Yunhwan Kim.
He is a college student and a professional gymnast.
[crowd cheers]
I'm also excited to compete against my brother.
While my strength is speed, my brother's strength
is that he is physically much stronger than me.
[Charissa] He's setting that bar high for his younger brother to compete with.
[Terry] High enough so his brother can't reach it!
Looking steady so far.
Oh! Lost his footing and banged his shin,
but he's able to pull himself up. Nice job!
[Charissa] Brain Matter kind of resembles a balance beam for this gymnast.
Should be a little bit easier for him.
[Terry] Except that this beam is very unbalanced.
[Charissa] And there's a Point Thruster opportunity here,
but it looks like Yunhwan is just focused
on getting across Brain Matter.
Now he's gotta make his way on to Throat Erosion.
- There we go. - [Terry] Yeah, he's got it!
He grabbed the top! [chuckles]
Korean Kim Yunhwan!
[Charissa] There's his younger brother watching on
as Yunhwan now has to make the jump on Faceplant.
[Terry] That rope can really do a number on your hands
if you don't get a good, firm grip on it.
[loud hydraulic hiss]
[Terry] He's got it!
He's got it. He's climbing up.
[Charissa] Gotta crawl his way up.
[Terry] Gotta crawl his way up to the coils!
He is like Tarzan.
He is better than Tarzan!
He is better than the monkey that is next to Tarzan.
[laughing]
[Terry] Unbelievable.
Twenty-five feet in the air.
He makes the leap.
Oh!
He's not even taking a look at that Point Thruster right now.
He just wants to get through this.
He got it!
One more Energy Coil, and he's on to the Mag Wall.
He's got it! Sixty points.
[Charissa] Throughout this competition, very few competitors
have been able to conquer this Mag Wall.
Let's see if Yun can do it.
[Terry] And there goes one handle.
He's got it! He's gripping his way over.
And he's gone! He's gone.
[groans]
[Charissa] Older brother Yunhwan Kim was showing off those gymnastic skills.
But he just couldn't conquer the Mag Wall.
I feel really bad.
I am not satisfied with my performance.
[Charissa] Next up is Rafael Picolo,
a surfing champion from São Paolo, Brazil.
- [Terry] São Paolo in the house! - [Charissa] Mm-hmm.
[Charissa] And he feels that his surfing pedigree
will give him an advantage in taking on the Beast.
[in Portuguese] Regardless of the size of the wave,
I tamed it. This is how I see this show.
[Rafael] The sea waves did not stop me.
No one will stop me.
[Charissa] That surfing ability is definitely helping Rafael
because look at his balance here on Brain Matter.
[Terry] He's got the coil. Will he go for the Point Thruster?
[Charissa] He didn't look that direction. Just trying to get through.
[Terry] Yep, and he did it.
[in Portuguese] Rafa, we have the same name! Let's go! We're with you!
I never thought I'd be cheering for myself.
And he looks like me, even physically.
[Terry] He got it! He got it! The wall is coming down!
Now, in surfing, it's all about catching waves,
but on Faceplant right here, it's all about catching that hanging rope.
[loud hydraulic hiss]
He's gotta get momentum.
[Terry and Charissa] No!
[groans] Oh, my goodness!
- [Terry] Brazil is taking it very hard. - [Charissa chuckles]
[Terry] Let me tell you again, again,
if you do not get elevation,
you will not survive!
[Charissa] All right, so earlier
we saw how the older brother, Yunhwan, did in Level 1.
Now it's time to see the younger brother,
Yungyung Kim.
My brother will make it to the final round.
And I will make it, too.
But my brother is a bit weaker than I am...
so for the final match, I will be the winner and he will fail.
[Charissa] Yungyung is already on to Faceplant.
Let's see if he can live up to some of that sibling smack talk.
Yung thinks that gymnastics is the base to every sport,
so he's hoping that his background will give him an edge tonight.
[loud hydraulic hiss]
[Yungyung] Look, look! I can fly!
[Terry] Oh, he got the end!
He does it! He barely holds on!
[Charissa] Good for him!
[Terry] Barely holds on!
His grip strength was amazing.
[Charissa] Look, Terry, he's got a smile on his face.
We don't see that too often.
[Terry] That's important.
I think sometimes it's easy to forget that this is fun, man!
[shouts indistinctly]
[Terry] Oh! Bare... Just... Almost falls off!
This is a sibling rivalry right now.
This is for bragging rights in the house!
[yells]
And he goes and he gets it.
I'll go get 'em!
[Charissa] Right now he is tied with his brother at 60 points.
However, he's nearly a minute and a half faster to this point.
He's on the Mag Wall.
Now, this is usually what separates the men from the boys.
[Terry] Yo. He's going... Listen...
But that thing's gonna start getting demagnetized.
There goes a handle!
There's a handle into the blood.
Can he make it?
Oh, he's already lost his grip, and it's over!
I have to say, though,
that I have been impressed with the younger of the Kim brothers.
He has looked faster, stronger, and he looks like he could be
the one standing at the very end tonight.
I was more relaxed than him, so I think I did better than him.
[Charissa] All right, Terry, the bar has been set very high
by the two brothers from South Korea,
but I think our two American competitors are gonna give them a run for their money.
Let's take a quick look at who they are.
First up from Ladera Ranch, California,
is a father of three who currently works as a trainer,
a track coach, and a model.
Most importantly, he takes being an athlete very seriously.
This is Jonathan Collins.
I'm a track and field athlete.
I've been doing decathlon for the past ten years.
I think I have the upper hand as a decathlete
because we cover a little bit of everything,
from running, jumping, throwing, swimming, biking, lifting,
all of the above.
So I don't know what I'm gonna face out there,
but I know that I'm ready.
I will be the Ultimate Beastmaster.
[Charissa] From Lewisville, Texas,
we have Isaiah Stanback,
a former NFL player
who can make one claim that no other competitor can:
he's won a Super Bowl.
When I was in the NFL, I played three offensive positions,
so I consider myself to be very versatile.
I'm very motivated. I love to compete.
The stages that I've been on have been awesome:
being at the Super Bowl, being, playing in the NFL.
No matter what Ultimate Beastmaster throws at me, I'm prepared for it.
I'm going to handle my business like I always do.
I will be the Ultimate Beastmaster.
[Charissa] Jonathan Collins and Isaiah Stanback,
two men with strong athletic backgrounds
that they hope will give them the edge they need to defeat the Beast.
[Terry] Team USA looking good,
but if there's one thing we've learned, you can never underestimate the Beast.
Let's take a look at some of the night's first few runs.
[Charissa] First up was medical student Julia Habitzreither.
[in German] My friends call me "Little Machine."
I'm not very tall, and people tend to underestimate me,
but I have a lot of power when I want.
[Charissa] This little engine wasn't going to let her 5'1" frame keep her down...
The mini machine!
As she was trying to overcome the 11-foot jump on Throat Erosion.
But on her fifth and final try,
this engine ran out of gas.
[Terry] Ohh!
[in German] The Beast is too strong!
[Charissa] Next up was frontenis champion
Adrian Raya from Mexico.
[both chanting in Spanish] Come on, Mexico! Mexico!
[Charissa] He was on a hot streak in Level 1,
until the rope on Faceplant cooled off his run.
[squealing]
Please, Adrian. Grab that vine! Bite it!
Do whatever you have to do, but don't let go!
[in Spanish] This is the beginning, but you're going to hear more about me.
[Terry] Next up was triathlete Marcelo Munhoz from Brazil,
who was showing off his multi-sport pedigree early on in Level 1.
- [Charissa] There you go. - [Terry] He got the rope that time!
[Charissa] When it came time to shine on Faceplant...
[Terry] And he goes for it!
[Charissa] the rope claimed another competitor.
- [Terry] Oh, he's into the blood! - [Charissa groans]
[Charissa] And lastly, Tabito Okayasu,
an actor and parkour athlete from Japan.
[both] Banzai!
[Charissa] He was one of the few to conquer the rope on Faceplant.
[Terry] He's got it!
Extremely athletic.
Look how unsteady that thing is.
[Charissa] Tabito was on the verge of completing the entire level...
- [Terry] He's almost there! - [Charissa] My goodness!
[Charissa] ...until the Beast proved to be stronger.
Oh, but he did really well!
Darn it. I should have grabbed it.
[Charissa] Tabito Okayasu of Japan
has claimed the top spot on the leader board,
and the South Korean brothers just behind him in second and third place.
Now, remember, the clock is the tiebreaker,
so whoever has the fastest time wins out.
Terry, I am very excited about our next competitor for a few reasons.
He is our first athlete from the U.S. competing tonight,
and also he's an ex-NFL player.
His name? Isaiah Stanback.
I consider myself to be a very versatile athlete.
I was one of those guys that could do a lot.
I feel like I do better under pressure.
Competition always brings the best out in me, in football,
in the Super Bowl, in the two-minute drill...
I don't like to lose. I definitely don't like to lose.
It puts me in a bad mood.
[Terry] He is the biggest competitor I have seen.
[Charissa] In fact, he says that his biggest challenge will be his body weight.
[Terry] Look at this incline,
and you see all 235 pounds trying to get up that wall.
[both] No!
[Terry] Wow.
I mean, this guy has played on five different NFL teams,
and we know how difficult the NFL is,
so the fact that Mother Tongue wiped him out,
the second obstacle on this course,
that goes to show you how difficult this thing is.
This is very, very difficult.
[Charissa] The Beast has claimed eight victims so far,
so let's see if our next three competitors
have better luck in Level 1.
First up was lawyer and CrossFit athlete Claudia Lopez from Mexico.
C'mon, Claudia!
[Charissa] She was trying to build a case against the Beast.
[Terry] Look at her!
[Charissa] On her way up Mother Tongue, she realized it wasn't strong enough.
[Terry] Oh!
- No! - Why, woman?
[Terry] Up next was pro-athlete trainer
from Japan, Yoshitaro Fujiwara,
who is a big fan of the film Rocky.
[in Japanese] As you know, in Rocky,
there is a scene where he drinks raw eggs.
I wanted to surpass Rocky, so I even ate the egg shells.
But I don't recommend it. I got sick afterwards. [chuckles]
[Charissa] Now, Yoshitaro jumped out to a great start in Level 1...
[Terry] Yes!
[Charissa] and once he reached Faceplant, his jump off...
- fell short. - [Terry] He missed the rope!
Oh, he fell!
I thought I could make it. I'm disappointed.
[Charissa] And finally was college student
and professional mover Adrien Ngouah-Ngally of Germany.
He knew he needed at least 60 points to secure a spot in the top eight.
[Terry] He just went for it!
[Charissa] Adrien succeeded where so many others had failed.
Dominating right now.
[both singing] Germany!
[Charissa] Once he got the Point Thruster and reached 60 points...
And a Point Thruster!
[Charissa] he made the decision to stop trying for more points.
And he decides to just dip in the blood!
[Charissa] That run put Adrien in a great position in first place,
while Julia Habitzreither of Germany,
Isaiah Stanback of the U.S.,
and Claudia Lopez of Mexico,
have been eliminated from the competition.
Rafael Picolo of Brazil
is now on the bubble in eighth place.
Relax, because they are not out yet...
Eight will make it to the next level.
So there's still a chance he keeps going in this episode.
[Terry] They seem cautiously optimistic. We'll see what happens.
[Charissa] So, it all comes down to this:
the last competitor of Level 1, Jonathan Collins, from the USA.
[Terry] The U.S. is in good hands, Charissa,
because Jonathan is an experienced and decorated decathlete.
I'm a track and field athlete.
I've been doing decathlon for the past ten years,
and I've traveled overseas for decathlon,
I've won a couple of decathlons...
I think I have the upper hand as a decathlete
because we cover a little bit of everything.
The Ultimate Beastmaster is everything I've ever trained for.
[Charissa] Jonathan Collins has been tearing it up so far in Level 1,
even getting the first Point Thruster on Brain Matter.
[Terry] Will he go for another Point Thruster here?
[Charissa] It doesn't seem like he is.
[Terry] Oh! Barely made it.
[Charissa] If Jonathan makes this last jump, he will have 70 points
and will claim that top spot on the leader board, Terry.
[grunts]
That was cool.
I didn't know what he was doing.
[Terry] On to the Mag Wall.
[Charissa] We have yet to see someone get through the Mag Wall.
Let's see if Jonathan can do it.
[Terry] Just a little bit more to go!
[Terry and Charissa exclaim]
[Terry] Jonathan!
- That was awesome! - [Charissa] Wow.
[Terry] Jonathan was putting on a clinic tonight in Level 1.
Then on the Mag Wall his strong grip finally gave out.
Great job, though, Jonathan.
If I can deliver like that on every piece of the course moving forward,
if I can move forward,
I feel like I've got a really good chance in this game.
[Charissa] With Jonathan's run, Rafael Picolo of Brazil
has been eliminated from the competition.
[Terry] Charissa, it sounds like the hosts
from Brazil are a little upset right now.
Are you guys okay?
Rafinha are having an issue right now.
Look at this!
- He didn't make it and he fell. - Why?
Brazil is taking it very, very hard.
[Rafinha] Now these Americans
are making fun of us to our face!
[Terry and Charissa chanting] USA! USA! USA!
Now we have to listen to this...
Just because they're beating us, we have to listen to this...
Terry has no idea what they're saying. They're probably just cursing at him.
[Charissa] The reason why is because Jonathan Collins of the U.S.
is now in first place,
but not far behind him
is Adrien Ngouah-Ngally of Germany
and Tabito Okayasu of Japan.
In fourth and fifth place are the two South Korean brothers,
Yungyung Kim and Yunhwan Kim,
followed by Adrian Raya of Mexico,
Marcelo Munhoz of Brazil,
and lastly, Yoshitaro Fujiwara of Japan.
[Terry] Charissa, it's about to get a lot tougher in Level 2.
There are seven very difficult obstacles,
as well as two Point Thrusters,
all worth 20 points each.
[Charissa] Current leader Jonathan Collins of the U.S.
is looking like the man to beat.
Level 2.
I want to get all the way through, and I want to get both Point Thrusters.
[Jonathan] This is not a cakewalk.
[Charissa] In second place is Adrien Ngouah-Ngally of Germany,
who quit after getting 60 points in Level 1.
And the energy I saved in Level 1, I will use in Level 2.
[Adrien] The Beast will see what I'm capable of.
[Charissa] In fourth place is Yunhwan Kim of South Korea
who finished just behind his younger brother, Yungyung Kim.
He's in third place after a very strong run in Level 1.
- [groans] - [Charissa] Oh, no. Is he all right?
[indistinct chattering]
[Charissa] Well, hopefully Yung is fine.
While he recovers, we're gonna get started here on Level 2.
And first up is his older brother, gymnast and college student Yunhwan Kim.
They're both competing tonight
for more than just national pride.
My mother doesn't like to go see her doctor
because of doctor bills.
But whenever I get sick, she gives me money to see a doctor.
If I become the Beastmaster and win $10,000,
I will give my mother a call and give her the money.
[Charissa] Yunhwan Kim is starting with 60 points from Level 1.
[Terry] And there he goes!
- [Charissa] Ooh. - [Terry] Oh, look at this.
[Charissa] He's gonna go with the pull-up approach.
Get that leg up there.
[Terry] I think that's a problem because it tends to burn more energy.
There's the explosion.
You can do it!
A little bit more!
You got it.
[Charissa] At this point, it may be better for him to regroup.
You got to be careful.
[Terry] Got to stay... Oh, he's off!
- It's over! - [Charissa] Oh, my goodness.
[Charissa] Next up is Yoshitaro Fujiwara of Japan,
who is only 5'3".
He's the smallest competitor left in the competition,
and he barely made the cut for this level, finishing in eighth place.
He's got a lot of ground to make up if he wants to move on.
[Terry] Oh, still having trouble getting it over!
Get... He got the knee over! There he is!
Conquers Spinal Ascent.
He's gotta be careful here,
because if he doesn't distribute his weight correctly on these cords,
he could drop real quickly.
[Charissa] Not a problem here.
Yoshitaro is handling this like an expert, which he happens to be. How about this?
His proudest achievement was rehabilitating a wheelchair-bound client
who is now able to stand on his own.
Absolutely incredible.
[Terry] Whoa! He almost fell backwards into the blood!
[Charissa] Yoshitaro is a huge sports fanatic, Terry.
He plays soccer, baseball, rugby, and even gymnastics.
That's just to name a few.
[Terry] That experience, those fundamentals,
is what's giving him such great technique here on Stomach Churn.
He doesn't look fazed at all.
Jumps down into the last one.
There he goes.
He has conquered Stomach Churn.
[Charissa] Now, here's where being a little smaller
can help you get through this tube,
because that thing, remember, is sinking fast.
[Terry] Which means he needs to move!
Faster! Go!
[Terry and Charissa exclaim] Man!
[Terry] If you get out of the Digestive Track fast enough,
you'll have a higher angle on the jump to the Dreadmills,
but when it's lower, it's just that much harder,
as Yoshitaro just found out.
It moved down faster than I thought.
When I reached the top, I was surprised.
[Charissa] The next competitor up is Germany's Adrien Ngouah-Ngally.
Adrien, here we go!
Germany!
[Charissa] Now, Adrien quit after getting just 60 points in Level 1.
[Terry] He said he wanted to save some energy for Level 2.
Let's see if it pays off.
- He's got it! - [Charissa] Good for him.
- He's got it, oh, man. - [Charissa] Nice job.
[Charissa] Adrien Ngouah-Ngally has to jump on that last platform,
and he gets another 20 points.
- There we go. - He does it. He does it.
[Terry] Adrien Ngouah-Ngally, as he makes his way into Spinal Descent.
So far, so good.
He was onto something with his energy conservation technique.
[Charissa] He got that Point Thruster in Level 1,
and he's now coming up on the first Point Thruster in Level 2.
[Terry] He's got it!
The next 20 points go to Bochum!
[Charissa] Yeah, look at Jonathan Collins checking out Adrien's run,
since Adrien finished just behind him in second place.
Now, his occupation is a mover.
Let's see how he moves across Stomach Churn.
[Terry] Oh! Hugging the gear.
- Ohh! He's off. He's gone! - [Charissa] No, he's not!
[Terry] Can he pull himself up?
[Charissa] Unbelievable! Hold on, Adrien!
[Terry] He's gotta hold on!
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
And into the Beast blood!
He had bad timing. As a mover, you don't need timing, see...
If he had a washing machine on his back, he would have made it!
[Terry] He jumped late and he had no momentum, so he didn't land cleanly.
At that point, it was only a matter of time before the Beast swallowed him whole.
[Charissa] Adrien Ngouah-Ngally is sitting atop the leader board right now,
but Level 2 has been giving our competitors a lot of problems tonight.
Triathlete Marcelo Munhoz from Brazil
felt that he had an edge in the competition.
[Marcelo] I practice several different sports. So, I believe...
I will be a perfect athlete for Beastmaster.
[Terry in Portuguese] Brazil!
[Charissa] Going up Spinal Ascent, Marcelo's jumps were anything but perfect.
[Terry in English] His hand is hurt. I can see fighting through pain.
[Charissa] Then an off-balance landing...
caused him and Brazil's chances to come crashing down.
Unfortunately, Marcelo didn't make it.
[Charissa] Next up, parkour athlete Tabito Okayasu
was showing off his skills in Level 2.
[Terry] The parkour skills are showing out right now.
- Yeah, they are. Look at this. - Ooh, he is leaping!
[Charissa] Hey! He's got a great vertical.
- You see how much air he gets? - He does.
[Charissa] As he parkoured his way over to the Digestive Track,
it got a bit claustrophobic.
[Terry] He's slipping! It's working against him!
Time is running against him. It's over!
My legs were tired after the rotation.
I could not put my legs forward as I hoped.
[Charissa] And finally, Adrian Raya,
Mexico's last hope to advance.
[Terry] Whoa!
He's having major, major issues here.
Ay, once his hands touch,
he'll be disqualified!
[Charissa] He saw his and Mexico's chances slip into the Beast's blood.
What a shame, Adrian!
[Charissa] Adrien Ngouah-Ngally stays in first place,
followed by both Japanese competitors.
Older brother Yunhwan Kim of South Korea
is on the bubble
and on the verge of elimination.
No word yet if younger brother Yungyung Kim
will be able to compete.
Marcelo Munhoz and all of Brazil
are now out of the competition.
Next up is the last remaining competitor from the U.S., Jonathan Collins,
who is here tonight competing for his family.
[Jonathan] I'm married to my junior high sweetheart,
and we have three kids.
They're my everything. I train every day because I love it.
[Jonathan and son grunting]
If I can win and my kids can be inspired at who their dad is,
and that can shape them to believe that they can be something more,
that's the biggest win for me.
[Charissa] Jonathan, deep into Spinal Descent.
Let's see if he goes for the Point Thruster.
[Terry] Of course he does!
This man knows what he's doing.
I love this guy!
Yeah, there you go!
He flies onto the next gear.
[Charissa] Speaking of flying, Jonathan wants to take his decathlon skills
to the big screen and become a superhero in the movies.
[Terry] You know what? I believe he can do it.
[Charissa] Well, great! You can give him your agent's number.
[Terry] Heck, I'll be his agent.
Now, this is where I think size works against you.
[Charissa] Okay.
[Terry] He's a very tall man.
He's gotta squeeze his way in there and...
[Charissa] Yep!
[Terry] and if he's claustrophobic, it could be a problem.
[Charissa] So far, no one has made it past the Digestive Track
and on to those Dreadmills. Do you think Jonathan can be the first?
[Terry] He's definitely capable of it, but he's struggling with traction now.
He's gotta keep pushing forward.
- [Charissa] Here we go. - [Terry] On the end.
[Charissa] Get up there while that angle's still high!
[Terry] He's got to make the jump.
- He slips on the... Slips into it! - [Charissa] He lost his footing!
- [Terry] He makes the jump... - [Charissa] Come on! Yeah!
- But won't get it... Oh, he rolled off! - [all groan]
[Terry] Oh, I thought he had it, too.
He took a huge face blow right here.
Look at this. Pow! Right on his face.
- That hurt. - [Charissa groans]
[Terry] Let me tell you, he was stunned.
[Jonathan] Even with short legs, it's a tough tube.
So, one wrong move, it slips you down.
The course ticks me off when it gets the best of me!
[Charissa] Adrian Raya of Mexico is now on the bubble,
and Yunhwan Kim of South Korea
has been eliminated.
But we do have some good news. His younger brother, Yungyung Kim,
has been cleared to go
and will now be the sole competitor
left to represent his family,
as well as his country.
[both chanting] Kim Yungyung! Kim Yungyung!
[Kyung and Kyeong cheer]
[Charissa] Yungyung Kim comes into Level 2 with 60 points,
and he'll need more than 100 to move on to Level 3.
If he doesn't, Adrian Raya of Mexico will be moving on.
[Terry] Oh! He slams into the second platform.
I mean, he hit that thing really hard.
- Yeah, he does it. - [Charissa] And look at that.
[Charissa] So far, his earlier injury doesn't seem to be affecting his run.
[Terry] There he goes! Got it!
[Charissa] He's looking pretty good so far.
All he needs is 40 points and he'll be moving on to Level 3.
So now if he can get through Stomach Churn,
he will be moving on, and Adrian Raya will be eliminated.
[Terry] Oh, no, he's to the outside.
That thing could throw him off at any second.
[both groan]
[Terry] He is taking a beating on this obstacle,
but it doesn't look like it's slowing him down.
He's only got one more gear to go.
[Charissa] With that, Adrian Raya and Mexico
have been eliminated from the competition.
[Terry] Look at this.
Oh, and he just barely gets into the Digestive Track,
but he's making good time!
[Yunhwan cheering]
[Terry] He jumps down onto the Dreadmill and he makes it!
- Yes! He's going through the Dreadmill! - [Charissa cheers]
- [Charissa] Whoo-hoo! - [Terry] He's on to the next level!
[Terry] They are... Booyah! And he's through!
He landed! Good job!
[both chanting] Kim Yungyung!
[Charissa] That was amazing.
Here he goes, approaching Chain Reaction.
There's also a Point Thruster here, and it looks like he's going for it.
- Use your legs. - Just a little further.
[Charissa] Oh! Yungyung Kim!
[Kyung cheers]
Yungyung Kim did it! He did it!
[Terry] But he is getting a little more fatigued.
He's got to find the momentum...
to get back onto another chain.
[Charissa] I think he's lost it.
He's taking a swim in the blood.
[Terry] Let me tell you, this is a clinic on how you do this.
Leaping onto the Dreadmills
and continuing to go. Never stopping.
It feels good!
The fact that I came this far... I can be the Beastmaster!
Thank you!
Whoo!
[Charissa] Yungyung Kim of South Korea has overcome his injury
in a dominant performance that puts him into first place,
followed by Jonathan Collins of the U.S.,
Adrien Ngouah-Ngally of Germany,
and we have both competitors from Japan moving on,
Tabito Okayasu and Yoshitaro Fujiwara.
Up next for our five remaining competitors of Level 3 is the Energy Pyramid,
where a total of 240 points is up for grabs.
In this group, there are still two Japanese remaining,
so I think it would be nice and dramatic
if we both made it to the final round.
Japanese are physically small compared to other countries.
[Yoshitaro] But even though my body's small,
I can win if I've got a big heart. That's what I'm going to prove.
[Charissa] First up is overall leader from the first two levels
and South Korea's last remaining competitor,
college student Yungyung Kim.
He's our 20-year-old competitor.
[Charissa] Look at that, his older brother Yunhwan Kim,
watching on nervously,
even though he's been eliminated.
[Terry] Now, Yungyung's only 5'5",
so he's gonna have to time this jump perfectly to get to that hanging rope.
Placing second won't leave any impression.
[Yungyung] I want to place first and make my country famous.
[countdown clock beeps]
[Terry] Oh, no, he stumbles!
Wait, he's back up!
[Charissa] Is he gonna make this jump?
[Terry] Yes! He holds on and pulls himself up with one hand! Incredible!
Wow. Tremendous upper-body strength.
[Charissa] Jonathan Collins watching on. He definitely looks impressed.
[Terry] Over to Coil Crawl.
[Charissa] Coil Crawl, remember, sinks,
so the objective here is get through this thing as fast as you can.
Then you have a decision to make.
You go left to the bonus round or you go right to stay the course.
[Terry] Hopefully he can help him here. Oh, no!
He slipped, and now his legs are in the fuel!
[Charissa] Ah, he's not out just yet.
- All four limbs have to be in the fuel. - [Terry] But it's sinking.
- [Terry] He's got... - [Charissa] Look!
[both] Get outta here! Get outta here!
[sighs]
[Terry] And it sinks down. He's out.
[Charissa] Oh, no.
[Terry] He got turned around on the coils,
lost his footing, and ended up in the fuel.
[Charissa] Yungyung Kim does pick up 60 points, though, for a total of 240.
Up next is the first of two competitors from Japan,
professional trainer Yoshitaro Fujiwara.
He comes into this level with a total of 120 points.
[Terry] The Japanese are excited that they have two competitors in Level 3.
[countdown clock beeps]
- [Terry] Falls down! - [Charissa] He's down!
[Terry] He has to recover on the Ejector, or...
[Terry and Charissa exclaim]
[Terry] You know what, there's no recovery!
- [Charissa] Oh, my goodness. - [Terry] So disappointing.
[Terry] He stumbled and got up,
but just didn't have enough momentum to make the jump.
I am shocked...
and at a loss for words. Honestly a bit annoyed as well.
[Charissa] With that disappointing run, Yungyung Kim of South Korea stays
in first place with a total of 240 points.
And up next is the second and last competitor from Japan,
actor and parkour athlete Tabito Okayasu.
[Terry] We've seen a lot of competitors have trouble here tonight.
Oh, he stumbles!
[Charissa] Can he recover?
- There he goes! Into Prism Strike. - [Charissa] Oh, he did!
[Terry] Does he see... He's going for it?
No, he doesn't go for the Point Thruster.
[Charissa] And into the Coil Crawl, so that means Yoshitaro Fujiwara
has been eliminated from the competition.
Tabito jumping into Coil Crawl.
[Terry] There he goes. He's gotta make his move right away.
You can't do this gingerly.
You have to grab those bars.
[Charissa] You gotta go faster than that if he wants a chance.
That thing is sinking very quickly.
Hustle, hustle, hustle!
He's gonna end up in that fuel quickly if he doesn't make a move here.
- Jumping... There we go. - [Terry] There we go. Good job.
[Terry] Good job, Tabito Okayasu.
[Charissa] He's got a decision to make here.
And he's going left to the bonus obstacle.
The bonus round consists of three different challenges,
each worth 40 points,
as opposed to the Level 3 obstacles, worth 30,
but as you know, Terry, when you get into the bonus territory,
you can lose the same amount of points,
so if he doesn't have success on the Bungee Beds,
he's losing 40 points.
[Terry] He's gotta jump onto this Bungee Bed very carefully.
Okay, here we go. He's on there, but now it's all about balance and body control.
Even the slightest twitch will move those beds,
and then you'll get tossed off.
Making his move. Good swings.
[Charissa] He's going for the...
[Terry] He's in a rush. Good job! Oh, that bed is... Oh, he's off!
Oh, no! That's the trap of the Bungee Beds!
[Charissa] And because of that fall, Tabito loses 40 points from his total.
That has gotta hurt.
[Terry] This is why Bungee Beds is so hard.
He landed it correctly,
but you can see the bounce-back threw him off,
and he just wasn't ready for it.
It was going smoothly, so I let my guard down.
[sighs] I'm disappointed.
[Charissa] Up next is the only U.S. competitor left,
decathlete Jonathan Collins. So, Terry, you know what we gotta do.
[both chanting] USA! USA! USA!
I think I've got what it takes to be the Beastmaster
because I'm a runner, jumper, thrower, swimmer, biker, lifter,
and so my background goes 25 years in athletics and training,
and I feel like this Beast is starting to surface
every little piece of what I've done over the years.
[Charissa] Jonathan comes into this level with 170 points.
He'll need to make it off the Ejector to eliminate Tabito Okayasu of Japan.
[Terry] Oh, he almost lost his footing.
He's gotta make the jump. Yes!
There we go. He's got it!
- [Charissa] Prism Strike! He feels it. - [Terry] Yeah!
[Terry] Is he going for it?
Ah, he tried, could not get the Point Thruster.
[Charissa] And with that, Tabito Okayasu
and all of Japan have been eliminated from the competition.
[Terry] On and over into Coil Crawl.
Five feet in diameter.
[Charissa] That thing is sinking rapidly.
[Terry] Jonathan has competed in a number of decathlons,
which consist of ten different events.
The Beast has twice that amount of obstacles,
so it's like a double decathlon.
[Charissa] I believe the Greek term would be "icosathlon."
[Terry chuckles] Impressive!
He must've seen what happened earlier on the Bungee Beds
and said, "Forget that! I'm going right."
[Charissa] Into the Extraction where you gotta climb up
across a field of vertical pipes to a higher platform, Terry,
and some of the pipes move up and down.
[Terry] Figuring out what he wants to do.
Climbing up these pipes is gonna take big-time upper-body strength,
and also grip strength.
These pipes can get slippery if your hands are sweaty.
He's going up now!
He's got the other pipe now, but, oh, man, he stopped!
[Charissa] Oh, and he can't just hang there!
[Terry] He's draining his energy. He's got to pull himself up.
[Charissa] Come on, Jonathan, you can do it!
[Terry] Let's go, Jonathan!
[both chanting] USA! USA!
[Terry and Charissa groan]
[Terry] He tried to go for the Point Thruster and barely missed.
Then on Extraction, he lost momentum going up,
and it was only a matter of time before he ended up in the fuel.
[Charissa] Now, the good news is that Jonathan Collins picks up 90 points,
putting his total at 260.
Now, we have one competitor left,
mover and college student Adrien Ngouah-Ngally,
who comes into Level 3 with 120 points.
[both] Adrien!
- Adrien! - Come on!
I will collect all the points that I can get.
Therefore, I will do my best, until my body is exhausted.
[Charissa] Now, if Adrien can score more than 140 points in this level,
he'll be moving on to Level 4,
and Yungyung Kim will be knocked out of the competition.
[both exclaiming]
[both] Germany!
[Charissa] He's going with a sit-down approach.
- I don't know about that. - [Terry] He's fumbling.
- [Terry] He's gotta recover. Here he goes! - [Charissa] Recover!
[Terry] There he goes into the water!
[Charissa] Man!
No!
[Terry] Oh, so... so disappointing.
[Charissa] Yungyung Kim is shocked, but he is moving on to the final level.
I have nothing to say. I'll go bury my head in the sand.
Now it all comes down to this: a head-to-head battle
between Jonathan Collins and Yungyung Kim in Level 4.
[Terry] Jonathan and Yung both gave
amazing performances in Levels 1, 2, and 3,
and I can't wait to see how this will all play out in Level 4.
I am with you, Terry, so let's do this.
[Charissa] Now, it doesn't get any tougher than this.
Level 4, the Power Source.
Now it's time to put it all on the line
in Level 4.
[countdown clock beeps]
[both chanting] Jonathan! Jonathan!
[Charissa] Well, Terry, this is it, Level 4.
One of these two is walking home with $10,000.
They're gonna race to the top of this 80-foot wall.
[Terry] Now, hold on a second.
It looks like Yungyung Kim missed an Energy Tap.
- [Charissa] Really? - [Terry] Check out the replay.
[Terry] He completely overlooked the first Energy Tap on the left side there.
That may come back to haunt him later.
We'll see.
[Charissa] This first section is called Foundation,
and each one of the Energy Taps here are worth ten points.
Now so far, that's the difference between Jonathan and Yungyung Kim:
only ten points.
Jonathan Collins is now on to Grid Lock.
Now, here's where things get tricky.
They're literally the smallest cracks
in the side of this 80-foot tower.
There's Yungyung's older brother watching on.
[Terry] Oh, they both fell off!
Doesn't count against them if they just pull back and regroup.
[Charissa] Like, their fingernails are being torn off,
trying to get a grip in those small, zigzag cracks.
Oh, Yungyung falls off again!
He's just not able to put any weight on those zigzags.
[Terry] Jonathan's making good progress here,
but this is where your fingers is totally worn out.
[Charissa] And Yungyung is looking at his fingers,
probably wondering what he has to do to get up this tower.
- [Terry] This is so hard. - [Charissa] There's nothing to hold onto.
[Terry] Nothing. Yungyung Kim is trying so hard!
Oh ho! He falls off!
But he was able to get another Energy Tap.
[Charissa] Jonathan Collins looks like he just cannot figure out Grid Lock.
There's six Energy Taps in Grid Lock,
but again, just trying to stabilize yourself here
and make your way up the wall.
[Terry] Oh. It's like...
It's like trying to scale an actual brick wall. [chuckles]
- Because you... - Yeah, those tiny, like, cement...
Yeah, just the littlest, smallest groove.
[Terry] Ugh!
[Charissa] Yungyung Kim getting another Energy Tap, but, oh, falling off again!
[Terry] His arms must be exhausted at this point.
[Charissa] He's right up next to Jonathan Collins,
but he is still behind in points.
[Terry] That Energy Tap he overlooked early on may be the deciding factor here.
Yeah, yeah... Ouch!
[Terry] It's not over yet, Charissa.
Yungyung is not gonna quit, no matter how much pain is in his fingers.
- [Charissa] Come on! - [Terry] You can do it!
- [Terry] Fifteen seconds! - [Charissa] Wow.
The second obstacle is really hard.
There's nothing to grab onto.
[exclaiming]
[Terry] This is it! Give it everything you got!
Five, four, three, two, one! Oh, it is over!
[both chanting] USA! USA!
- USA! - Whoo-hoo!
[Terry] Jonathan Collins is tonight's Beastmaster.
He's headed home with $10,000.
And now Jonathan is our eighth Beastmaster to qualify for the finals,
where he could win $50,000
and the highly coveted title of Ultimate Beastmaster!
I'm... I'm surprised. I'm tired.
All my blood is in my forearms right now. But it's what I came to do.
This moment is what I came for.
[cheering]
[all chanting] USA! USA! USA!
[chanting continues]
