Episode list
Episode 1
Find Glenn: When they get off their transportation, they find a suitcase in their luggage. They open it to find a message from Glenn telling them that he is in their range, and that their challenge is to find him around their location. Each contestant has a two-sided puzzle piece somewhere in their luggage that they need to find. They find the pieces, with Jim under suspicion for not looking in all of his bag. One side of each piece reveals a written clue - telling them to march in geographical order of their hometowns from North to South, while the other is a map to Glenn's location. Also in the pack is a GPS, which points them the correct way, but they have arguments about which way to march. After marching for a while, they find a walkie-talkie that connects them to Glenn who tells them if they break the order in which they are in, they will lose the challenge. They try to organise and finally make a decision about where they should stand. After arriving, it is discovered Paul, Natalie, and Tanya arrived in the wrong order and the money is therefore lost. Glenn tells them that the GPS had a map of the UK on it, which they could have used to work out the correct order of contestants. He then gives each contestant a tube containing a clue to the Mole - telling them not to open it unless given permission to do so and to keep it near them at all times.
Swim, Catch and Keep: Glenn asks for four of the best swimmers - and they pick Paul, Chris, Natalie, and Mel. He then explains that their survival equipment is in waterproof bags in the raging rapids - and their survival in the game could depend on them rescuing it. A list of the items in each pack and their release schedule is on a chart at the rapids, and the contestants must get the bags out of the rapids to keep the things in them. They have one minute to memorise the chart to decide the bags they will keep before the first pack is released. The first release has bear mare, a six-pack of beer, two sleeping bags, and wipes. They missed the wipes and sleeping bags, but got the beer and the bear mare. The second release has two sleeping bags, a tin opener, a bottle of whiskey, and a loo roll. They get everything but the loo roll this time. After two misses, Mel is replaced in the swimming team by Dafydd. The third release contains the pen knife, keys to the log cabin, dried rations, and two more sleeping bags. This bag is critical, as the keys are in it. The pen knife, rations, and the sleeping bags are saved but the keys are lost. In the fourth release, there are five blankets, luxury food, bars of chocolate, and two more sleeping bags. The chocolate, blankets, and sleeping bags are saved. The fifth release has repellent, a tent, a cuddly toy, and five more blankets - and if they don't get the tent, they will be sleeping outside. For this round, Natalie and Paul switch positions but only the blankets are saved. In the final release is a torch, the £5,000 prize money, two sleeping bags, and a bottle of whiskey - of which only the money is saved. After the challenge, Glenn offers them the keys to the cabin for half of the prize money, telling them they cannot expect to survive if they sleep outside due to bear attacks, and they decide to sacrifice £2,500 for the key.
Cross the Dam: In order to earn £10,000, all ten contestants must cross over a very high dam on a high wire while not allowing their heart rate to exceed 130 bpm within one hour. If they cannot cross the wire, they can take a ten-minute penalty. Chris G. goes first and immediately has to wait for his heart rate, before deciding to take a ten-minute penalty to get across. Former fireman Paul goes next and gets across. Next is Carey, who cannot calm down and takes the penalty. Mel is fourth, and after a slow start takes the penalty. Natalie, who is next, quickly gets across the dam as does Paula. Chris L. goes 3 paces, then cannot get his heart rate down and takes the penalty. Fitness instructor Tanya goes next, who stays on for a long time before crossing due to her acrophobia. Dafydd makes it across quickly as does Jim but they exceed their time limit by four minutes - ending the episode with the kitty at £2,500.
