America’s Toughest Jobs: Episode 2

In case you were busy at a barbeque on Labor Day and didn’t have a chance to catch Episode 2 of “America’s Toughest Jobs,” here’s a summary of what happened:

The contestants had to drive an 18-wheel truck through incredibly tough terrain in the Arctic Circle. I thought that the ice road truckers had it rough, but these drivers had to navigate icy slopes on the Dalton Highway – a road with the highest trucker mortality rate of any road in the country.

Several contestants, most notably Eric, Sandy, Michaela and Phil, seemed to be real pros behind the wheel. But the bottom four performers – Chris, Bryce, Rommel and Amy (who we talked about last week) were sent to an elimination round.  

Chris, Bryce and Rommel completed their elimination round driving tasks, but Amy got stuck and never made it to the finish line, so she was sent home. (An interesting PS: The show indicated that Amy had quit her Wall Street gig and is changing careers.)

Who do you think is leading the pack so far? Any predictions as to who the winner will be? Tell us here.
