User score

The new cast of The Gauntlet 2 arrive to Trindad and Tobago. Their newest host, BMX rider T. J. Lavin, informs them that they would be competing for a spot as team captain. While the captain position comes with perks, it also comes with a price—the captain of the losing team would be forced to go into the Gauntlet (the elimination round) where they will face-off against another challenger from their team. Jo finds the living conditions too much to handle.
