The Beast takes aim at a couple as a husband and wife from China compete alongside a swimmer, a fashion designer and a church group leader.

A berth in Level 4 comes down to the wire on Hangman. Athletes include a break dancer, a speed skater, a stunt man and an Air Force medic.

Twin brothers from France hope to conquer the Beast, along with a boxer, an engineering student, a bikini fitness model and a motivational speaker.
