HoH Competition - “Treadmills Of Terror"

There are six treadmills. Each team of two must pick a treadmill. One teammate will be walking on the treadmill and will be the “walker". The other will be answering a series of questions and will be the “talker". If the talker answers correctly, the treadmill will stay at the same speed. If the talker answers incorrectly, their partner’s treadmill will speed up. Once all of the questions have been answered, it will become a game of endurance. The team whose walker can stay on the treadmill the longest is one step closer to becoming the new HoH.
