The Fall of Your Life: All eight players were flying in a plane above The Mole Manor and during that flight, they heard an explosion. Their challenge began immediately, players had to jump from a plane and land in the correct colored rings to earn diamonds. The group was split into 3 groups, easy, medium, and hard.

Everyone in the Easy group passed, and each fall was worth 100 diamonds, which in result, added 300 diamonds to the group pot, which made a great start for the group. The Medium group had one fail by godzilltrain, and in result, the team added 400 diamonds (Each fall was worth 200 diamonds) to the their pot, and 200 diamonds to the mole's pot. The hard group's fall was each worth 500 diamonds and both lil_shadow59 and wilywonker failed. In that challenge, the players 700 diamonds.
Do You Know Your Opponents?: All players were shown a board of signs asking questions about each player such as their hair color, what was their school they are attending, where are they from, etc. Once they have read though the board and written down as much as possible in two minutes, they were asked to split into three groups of their Easy, Medium, and Hard.
