Focus Rally:America Update 2/17/11

The Focus Rally continues on with the teams making their way across the country and completing challenges. The red team, Brittany and Matt, have done a good job at maintaining at the top of the race. They finished first in “The Claw” challenge that took place in Georgia and they won Stage 1. The Blue Team got to participate in a Point Repo. This is when the last place team gets an opportunity to steal from the team in first place. Because of this, the Blue Team was able to steal 100 points from the Red Team. In the Washed Away challenge in Mississippi, the Gray Team John and Carolyn, took first place.

The challenge continued with the teams headed to Clarksdale Mississippi. While there, Matt and Brittany were the winners of the Rally Blues challenge. The teams then drove to New Orleans where they were instructed on how to dance in the parade that would take place in the French Quarter. Each team dressed up and took turns performing a dance routine they made up. The winner of this challenge was determined by online fan follower votes. The Blue Team, Adam and Clayton, won this challenge. Each team participated in the parade.

After the parade, the teams traveled to Houston Texas where they competed in “High Steaks”. This challenge was all about which team could cook the tastiest steak in 30 minutes. The Black Team took first, with our Red Team coming in third. During the Point Repo, the Silver Team stole 100 points from the Red Team.

The last episode that aired on Hulu was Baskateball. This took place in Dallas Texas. The teams took shots on the basketball court and hockey rink in hopes of scoring the most points in two minutes. The Blue Team won this challenge. Up next for the Focus Rallyers is a trip to Parish, Texas where they will compete in a singing challenge. Fan Followers will have the ability to vote on their favorite performance to help earn their team points.
