Joe smiled to the teams that stood before him. "The first part is over. Sadly, Dave and Erin were eliminated due to the fact that they caught only one heart; less than the rest of you. So," he gestured to the pairs, "three teams left."

Derek and Penelope held onto each other's hands tight, the darker man's lips finding her temple.

"For this extreme competition for ten times our regular amount of money, all events will be held today and only today. You've had a couple minutes to relax and get yourselves pumped up again, so onto the next event!"

The teams followed the host of the show for about a half a mile long walk to a new set of land, their feet causing the dirt on the ground to come up as smoke behind them.

"This is your next challenge."

Emily grimaced at the sight of the food truck with pictures of bugs plastered all over it. "Are we going to have to eat one of those bugs?"

Joe shook his head.

JJ felt herself let out a sigh of relief. "Good."

The host smiled before picking the box up from the round table in front of them. "You'll be eating these."

Every team felt their insides flip at the sight of the large bugs dancing around in a small, transparent box. "Locusts."

Spencer gagged at the sight of the de-winged insects. "That's gross."

Joe let out a laugh. "And that's why you're eating them! We've picked the order randomly, so Penelope and Derek you're going first."

The blond woman let the bile roll back down her throat before making her way over to the table. "Ok. Ready."

The host nodded. "Derek? You ready?"

Derek immediately shook his head, holding his closed fist over his mouth. "No, I can't do it, man."

"You sure?"

The darker man sighed. "Definitely sure."

Joe gave a shrug. "Ok. Derek and Penelope, I'm sorry but you are eliminated."

The two remaining teams watched as the busty blond slapped at her partner as they walked away, and Spencer quickly turned to look at the host of the show. "Does this mean we don't have to eat the bugs?"

The host gave a laugh before shaking his head. "Not at all."

Emily groaned as she fell back against her fiance. "Ugh."

"Now that you are the only two teams, the team that eats the most locusts will get to pick the order that you compete in for the next and final event."

JJ nodded her head, clapping her hands together hard. "Yeah!"

Joe felt himself laugh before nodding. "Ok. Since Spencer and JJ went first last time, Emily and Aaron, you get to go."

Emily let out a breath. "Let's get this over with."

Aaron held the brunette's hand in his as they stood before the table. "Ready Em?"

The younger woman nodded. "Ready."

"Ok you two. Aaron's going to begin by eating one and when he's done, then Emily gets her crack at it. You're gonna go back and forth, and for every one that Aaron eats, Emily's gotta match it. Emily, if you don't eat the same amount as Aaron at the end of five minutes, then you're disqualified. Got it?"

Emily nodded, looking up to the older man. "Got it."

"Go!"

Aaron took one of the agrivated bugs and immediately chomped it down, grunting at the crunch of its skin between his teeth.

Emily grimaced at the sounds coming from the older man's mouth. "You done?"

Aaron nodded.

Joe gestured his finger in a 'come here' motion. "Open your mouth."

The older brunette opened his mouth, showing the host of the show that he had swallowed the bug down.

"Good. Emily? Your turn."

The brunette woman nodded her head, looking down at the bugs in disgust as she felt her fiance's hand rub up and down her back. "Ok... ok." She took a deep breath before picking up one of the bugs. She closed her eyes tight before shoving the bug into her mouth, doing her best to chomp down fast and swallow the bug.

Joe looked to the woman who stood there, watching her body shiver in disgust. "Good?"

Emily quickly opened up her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

The host of the show smiled. "And its down!"

Aaron smiled to the young woman at his side before picking up another bug.

Spencer felt his stomach twist as he watched the older man shove another one of the locusts into his mouth.

"Three down! Emily's turn once again."

Emily let out a small breath before putting another bug in his mouth. She chewed fast before swallowing the bug, opening her mouth once again to show the host she had swallowed it.

"Times up!"

The couple cheered before Aaron picked up his fiance and spun her around. "You did great, sweetheart."

Emily let out a smile before nodding her head, letting the older man set her back onto the floor before reaching up for a kiss. "Why thank you. You did pretty damn well yourself."

Joe smiled at the pair before looking to the other team. "Spencer and JJ, you must eat more than four locusts to beat Aaron and Emily. You beat Aaron and Emily and you get to pick the order you go in the next round."

JJ nodded her head. "Let's go."

Spencer gave a shrug of his shoulders. "I don't know..."

"You do too know!"

Emily bit her lip to keep from laughing as she watched the brother and sister in front of her.

Joe gave a small nod. "Go!"

JJ took no time at all picking up one of the bugs and shoving it into her mouth.

Joe grimaced as he watched the blond jump in place as she chewed, nodding her head to him once she was done. "Show." Once she opened her mouth, he gave a nod in return. "Spencer its your turn. You have four minutes left."

The brunette teen shuddered as he stepped forward, looking down to the bugs with wide eyes. He studied the way they angrily jumped around in the box, and he fought the urge to gag as he tilted his head.

"Oh come on!"

Spencer sighed at the sound of his sister before taking one of the bugs in his hand. He looked to the creature with disgusted eyes before he shook his head. "I'm sorry."

Emily's eyebrows rose as she watched the young teen in front of her. "Are you apologizing to the bug?"

Spencer immediately nodded. "Of course. Why wouldn't I? I'm going to eat it, so I felt tha-"

"Spencer come on!"

Everyone watched as Spencer put the bug in his mouth and chewed it up fast. Aaron and Emily grimaced as his cheeks puffed out as if he were to get sick, and Joe quickly shook his head. "Come on Spencer, you gotta eat it. You throw up and you're disqualified."

Spencer felt himself begin to sweat as he swallowed down the remainder of the bug.

"Show."

The boy in the blue shirt quickly opened his mouth to the host.

Joe nodded. "Ok! JJ, go!"

The blond quickly nodded her head before picking up one of the locusts, crushing its small body between her fingers before putting in her mouth.

Emily bit her lip, leaning back against her fiance and whispering to him so no one else heard. "She's like a tiny psychopath."

"Totally agreed."

"Done!"

Joe nodded when he saw JJ's mouth clear of any remains. "Come on Spencer. One minute left."

Spencer held his hand over his stomach and shook his head. "I can't."

His blond sister threw her hands into the air. "What? Come on!"

Joe shook his head. "Ok Spencer, that's alright." He turned to the brunette couple and smiled. "Emily and Aaron, you get to pick the order for your next and final challenge." He looked into the camera once more, smiling as he heard Emily and Aaron's cheers and JJ's taunts to her brother behind him. "Don't change the channel. There's much more to see, right here on Fear Factor."
