'Tough as Nails' Finale: Will Callie's shoulder injury be a disadvantage in the overtime against Myles?
Spoilers for 'Tough as Nails' season finale
With only a couple of tasks away from winning the competition, the stakes in the game are high. Callie Cattell, Myles V Polk, Linda Goodridge, Kelly 'Murph' Murphy and Danny Moody are in the final five. However, only one of them can win the competition. To make the competition more entertaining, it was time for one of them to be out of it.
For the first task, all five of them had to break the pieces of wood into two halves. Whoever took the longest would automatically go into overtime. As everyone tried their best, some performed better than others. Danny was the first one to complete the task and was followed by Linda and Murph. This landed Callie and Myles in the overtime. While Myles knew how to face over time, this was the first time Callie was going to face it. She knew that it was important to put her best foot forward if she wanted to still be in the race. The task called for precision and focus from both of them.
Host Phil Keoghan explained that for their task the duo would have to take their place in the workstation. Both of them would be given three chisels and a hammer along with wooden blocks. They had to make a hole in the middle of the wood using the tools that were given to them. Both of them had to make sure that the hole was big enough to fit into the metal piece that they had given. If the wood were to break, they had to start over. The first person to complete the task would still have a chance to win the prize as they would make it to the final 4. Without wasting much time, the two got started with the task.
While both of them started good, over a period of time Callie struggled to concentrate as she felt a sharp pain on her shoulder due to an injury that she had got in the past. Callie revealed that she had to undergo two surgeries for it. Despite this, she decided to push through and make sure she gave Myles a tough competition. Unfortunately, her strength fell short and Myles completed the task before her. Her journey on the show came to an end but she admitted that it was the greatest experience of her life.
'Tough as Nails' season finale aired on September 2, Wednesday, at 9 pm ET on CBS.
