Last Challenge: Showstopper Challenge, in the show that served as inspiration for the beatdown, there is a theme to every week and the season usually starts with Cake Week. 2 Sets of following workouts:
– Cindy Squats [20 then 10]
– Cindy Swings [15 then 10]
– Step Ups [20 IC then 0]
– Jump Squats [10 then 10]

Some cakes require cooling before the icing on top, so PAX ran 220 yd to cool down in preparation for:

MARY:
This one goes out to Mary Berry (one of the first judges on the show). Ring of Fire
(PAX held plank position while everyone shared two of their favorite baked goods, may be confused for food-addiction recovery group) WWIII Sit Ups [15]

Flutter Kicks [15 IC]
Crunchy Frogs [10]
Cindy Dips [15]

Finally, PAX was all awarded Star Baker for the week!
