Final

For the finals of this series, all three stages of obstacles were conducted. Stage 1 required the finalists to complete nine obstacles - Quadruple Steps, Rolling Log, Coin Flip, Ring Jump, Wind Chimes, Warped Wall, Big Dipper With Tassels, Three Logs, and Chimney Climb - within six minutes. Of the finalists that took on this stage, only six successfully completed it - Jacob Peregrine – Wheller, Ali Hay, Fred Dorrington, Bruce Winfield, Cain Clarke, and Jonny Urszuly.

Stage 2 required the remaining finalists to take on five obstacles - Spider Jump, Spin Cycle, Salmon Ladder, Monkey Pegs, and Wall Lift - and complete them within two minutes. Of the remaining finalists, only Clarke and Urszuly managed to complete it successfully.[2]

For Stage 3, the remaining two finalists had to complete three obstacles, but with no time limit - Crazy Cliff Hanger, Floating Boards, and Flying Bars. Neither contestant managed to complete the stage, thus the winner was determined by progress, resulting in Urszuly being declared the winner.[3]
