S06:E16 - Houseboat Rescue / Submerged Bug Box Escape

Contestants will both start on a SeaDoo as they speed towards a buoy, jump off at the buoy, grab a floating fire extinguisher, and swim to a platform behind a house boat that is on fire. After using the fire extinguisher to put out the flames, contestants will then make their way into the smoking cabin of the house boat by kicking down the door. Once inside they must locate a dummy to rescue. Once they've found it, they will break through back door of the cabin and take the dummy to the roof, where a hovering helicopter awaits. Contestants - along with the dummy - will climb into the helicopter and it will take them to a landing zone, where they will drop into the water and swim to a raft, placing the dummy in the raft and towing it to shore, then placing it in a stokes basket and running up the shore with the dummy to load it into an ambulance. One contestant will be placed in an airtight Plexiglas box filled with thousands of bugs and insects. The box will then be lowered into a pool of water and secured below the surface. On go, the partner must rescue the contestant locked in the box by swimming underwater and undoing a threaded bolt holding the box to the bottom. Once the box has been released the partner must bring it to the surface and out of the water where they must bob their head into a trough filled with the same type of bugs in the Plexiglas box and retrieve 3 keys. The keys will unlock the box and allow their partner to escape. The couple that takes the greatest amount of time to complete the stunt will be eliminated.
