Of the finalists that took on this stage, only 6 successfully completed it: Jacob Peregrine – Wheller, Ali Hay, Fred Dorrington, Bruce Winfield, Cain Clarke, and Jonny Urszuly.

Stage 2 required the remaining finalists to take on 5 obstacles - Spider Jump, Spin Cycle, Salmon Ladder, Monkey Pegs, and Wall Lift - and complete them within 2 minutes. Of the remaining finalists, only Clarke and Urszuly managed to complete it successfully.[2]
