Solitary 4.0's Final Three Squat Their Way into the Finale

Solitary 4.0 has reached the final three stage, but Pod #2 and Pod #3 didn't know that as they sat for hours with nails digging into their scalp. Pod #7 bowed out during the last episode but the two continued to increase their pain, hoping to stay until the end. Although Pod 3 pushed the red button, she was not out of it and for once she cried in excitement, I think. She told Val to just stop torturing her and for this one time I feel she may hate Val, unlike many of the other contestants. Pod 2 never quit a challenge and didn't quit this one either. Val tried to egg him on with heavier chains but he didn't budge, sending him to the final three without a red button push.

Before getting to their last test for an advantage in the next treatment, the three got a chance for some food. They were given an iced t-shirt and their task was simple: thaw the shirt and put it on to gain some pizza. All worked away on getting their shirts open but Pod #6 came out victorious, yet again, by getting his shirt on first. He was followed by Pod 2 who got a slice of pizza as well and then Pod 3 who only got some crust. It's not far that Pod 6 came into the game without having to compete in the first treatment, he didn't have to do half of the treatments and he knows what's going on. He has a huge advantage and if he wins, I may be a bit upset.

Ok moving on, while Pod #3 and Pod #2 slept, thanks to Val, Pod #6 decided to stay awake because that's the warrior thing to do! He's sounding like Coach but should get over himself, sleeping will HELP you not hurt you. Stupid people. Their next test for an advantge was then on, a game of SIMON but instead of using their hands to push the buttons, they were using their heads to dunk into colored pudding. Val would show a sequence of thirty colors, first to get all thirty in a row through memorization would win an advantage in the next treatment. Pod #6 screwed up and was out of the first round followed by Pod #2. Pod #3 had an easy win on her way, but screwed up allowing everyone to restart. Things were opposite this time around, Pod 3 was out first followed by Pod 2. This left Pod #6 to take home yet ANOTHER win, giving him an advantage in the next treatment which he really didn't even need.

While waiting for their possible last treatment, the final three gave us the lowdown on their bodies. While Pod 2 and Pod 3 were pretty beaten up, Pod 6 was probably just as strong as when he came in. Once again, not fair. They were also told the sex of each podmate with both 2 and 6 being shocked that Pod 3 was a girl, not the male ex-football player they came to expect. It gave Pod #3 a nice laugh and it was nice to see her happy, for once. I hope that helps her get to the end!

Their treatment was a bit different then in the past, it was a race. The first to move across several pads or over a balance beam, with a ball rolling on their backs, would not do a penalty squat. Pod #3 rocked at this part, she only had to do two penalties the entire time while Pod #2 and Pod #6 were squatting for a long time before she even got to. In the end all were still in so Val stopped the penalty rounds and forced all to squat, based upon the time of their last penalty. Now Pod #3 has a huge advantage as she had to hardly squat during the rounds previous. But the other two may still beat her and all three were making some very unhappy sounds in the previews. I'm rooting for Pod #3 to win it, but I'd be happy just seeing Pod #6 go home. Let's hope that happens as we move on to the finale of Solitary 4.0 next week!
