Spoilers for 'Tough as Nails' August 12 episode 

Savage Crew has been having a hard time getting back into the game as the team has won only one competition. However, Dirty Hands, on the other hand, have been going strong. Dirty Hands has been showing team spirit with everyone working together. The latest episode (August 12), saw the teams going against each other once again. 

In today's competition, the teams had to empty a garage and make sure that they are able to fit all the products in the small truck given to them. Host, Phil Keoghan was quick to Learn the cast members that the only way to win the competition was to see the task as a puzzle as placing the materials in the correct order was the only way to fit everything together. 

The team that would close the door of the truck first would be winning $12,000. Dirty hands seemed confident about getting another win in their bag. However, Savage Crew came to the conclusion that it was important for them to work as a team and listen to the leader who had been chosen for the task. They chose Tara Davis as their leader while Dirty Hands went with Danny Moody. As the task progressed, the Savage Crew was the first team to get everything out of the garage. Tara decided to guide the team on what would be the best way to place everything into the truck. 

Meanwhile, Dirty Hands struggled to come to a conclusion. They thought of different options that would be suitable for the win and in doing so, lost a lot of time. Meanwhile, the Savage Crew decided to start off with small materials in the hope that they could fill up space and have enough to place other things. 

However, Phil thought this strategy of theirs would not work as the bigger objects would not have enough space. As expected, the savage crew had to shake things a bit to make sure everything could fit into the small room. Meanwhile, the Dirty Hands struggled to come to a conclusion about how to handle things. 

Before Dirty Hands could settle on one decision, the Savage Crew had completed the task and won the cash prize. After losing continuously, the team was happy to get their groove back on. 

'Tough as Nails' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on CBS.
