T06:C05 - S06:E05 - Buried Alive / Rat & Snake Water Escape

In this stunt one partner is placed in a coffin, lowered into a grave, and their partner must free them, while another team is doing the same thing in a head to head competition. Once the coffins are lowered into position two feet of dirt will be dropped on top of them and their partners must dig them out. Once they have reached their partner they will slide open a "sunroof" on the coffin to free them and sprint to the finish line. Whichever couple completes this stunt the fastest wins. The contestants will be placed into a 7-foot deep Plexiglas tank divided into two sections and filled with water. Both contestants will be placed in the same section of the tank. At the bottom of the tank divider will be a small portal covered with knotted rope lattice allowing access into the second section of the tank. Snakes and rats will slowly be dumped into the section of the tank where the contestants are, eventually covering the majority of the waters surface. The contestants must swim to the bottom (coming up for air as needed) and use a knife to cut through the lattice, allowing them to swim through the portal. The couple that takes the greatest amount of time to complete the stunt will be eliminated.
