‐ It was a night of upsets
in the Titan Arena.

♪ ♪

Two world‐class athletes
lost their Titan crown.

She's on the ground.

he's just destroyed up there.

‐ As two competitors,
an Air Force Captain...

firefighter...

‐ Kelly Valdez,

your new Titan!

‐ Took over Mount Olympus.

Tonight...

‐ Let me here the love,
Titan Arena!

[cheers and applause]

‐ They'll fight to keep
what they've earned.

‐ To be a Titan,
you gotta come beat a Titan.

‐ I will defend Mount Olympus.

‐ Four killer competitors
from the Western region‐‐

a wine maker,
a physical therapist,

and two athletes
with inspiring stories

are determined to walk out
of this arena

as reigning Titans.

[both grunting]

Wow, look at these athletes.

‐ The battle to be the best
in the West continues.

‐ Let "The Titan Games" begin!

[cheers and applause]

‐ What you got?

‐ I picked up a ball
at six years old.

It's been in my hand
ever since.

How about you?

‐ Oh, man.
Best game in the world.

I played at Stanford.

We went to the Final Four
three times,

two national championships.
You know I'm gonna bring it.

‐ All right, let's do this.
‐ Let's do it.

All right.
Let's go.

My name's Mitch Harrison,

I'm 32 years old,
coming from Kenai, Alaska,

and I work in security
as a security guard.

The very first time
I picked up a basketball,

I knew that this is what
I wanted to be great at.

I went and played basketball
for Stanford

on a full ride scholarship,

went to three Final Fours,

two national championship
games,

and I competed as Michelle.

‐ Well, Michelle Harrison
will go down in history

as the highest recruited
female athlete

out of the state of Utah
and to this point,

the only girl to be named
a McDonald's All‐American.

‐ So I was born Michelle,

um, so you consider me here
as a trans athlete,

and I'm super proud of that.

I knew at about three years
old that I was different.

The household
that I grew up in

was very, very conservative.

It was kind of
an immediate like,

"Oh, I need to suppress this."

But at the same time,
we were all very tight‐knit.

It definitely got to a point
where it was‐‐

it was kind of gonna be
one way or the other,

where I either chose myself,

and I chose to just
find my happiness,

or I'm lying to myself
and everybody else.

‐ ♪ This will change
everything ♪

‐ Choosing
the gender transition

would've helped me
be happier,

but I knew that I was gonna
create a lot of conflict,

a lot of turmoil.

The turning point really
was when I met my wife.

Right from the very first
moment, she was like,

"You need to do this."

‐ ♪ Here we go
into the moment ♪

‐ To have her say that

and‐‐and to offer me
that support,

from that point on, it was,
like, floodgates open.

It's like the next day's
better than the day before.

‐ ♪ Here we go
into the moment ♪

‐ Most of my immediate
family does not speak to me.

They're missing out on a‐‐on
such a better version of me

that they ever knew.

‐ ♪ It's just the beginning ♪

‐ I think being here
and competing as Mitch

is one of the most exciting
things for me.

Now I can enjoy it
from the inside out.

[cheers and applause]

‐ My name is Exodus Rogers.

I'm 32 years old,
and I run an athletic program

at the Sacramento County
Youth Detention Facility.

[somber music]

I work with over 100 kids
between the ages of 12 and 19.

What's up?
‐ Yo.

‐ All right.

‐ Some of them come
from backgrounds

where they don't
have their parents.

Some of them are born
into a gang.

Some of them think that it's
just cool to commit crimes

until they're behind bars
and then they see the light.

I could've easily
became one of these kids.

I grew up around
that environment

that lands you
in a place like this,

and somehow I got out.

‐ ♪ If you're down,

♪ If you're down,

‐ It's important for me
to inspire these kids.

If you really
get to know them,

you really see
that they're smart,

they're athletic,
they're hilarious.

They just need direction.

Slow pay.
You get a little pain

in your life,
you just gotta keep going.

All right?
Keep going.

‐ ♪ I won't give up on you ♪

♪ I won't give up on you ♪

‐ I'm living proof
that there's a way out.

When the kids
find out where I'm from,

that I went to college,
that I built a good career,

it's like a light turns on
in their head.

Push, push.
Good, good, good, good.

‐ ♪ I won't give up, oh no ♪

‐ If you can learn to push
yourself through sports,

you can learn to push yourself
through life.

By engaging these kids
in sports,

I'm giving them discipline,
self‐esteem, friendship.

I'm giving them something
positive to take a hold of.

‐ ♪ I won't give up on you ♪

‐ I'm a beacon of hope
for them.

Becoming a Titan will show
them that anything's possible.

[cheers and applause]

‐ Hello, everyone,
I'm Cari Champion,

alongside Goldenboy.

‐ And Mitch and Exodus
are both looking for a shot

at Mount Olympus against
tonight's reigning Titan,

Air Force captain
Noah Palicia.

They're all fighting
to be crowned

the best in the West,

and that journey begins
on a challenge we call

Launch Pad.

This is the perfect
challenge to kick things off

because Exodus and Mitch
have to kick off four slabs

hanging 15 feet
off the ground.

Each slab weighs 250 pounds.

First to send all four flying

gets the first win
of the night.

‐ We're here.
‐ Yeah.

‐ We're here.
‐ It's on.

‐ You got this, Dad!
You got this!

‐ Exodus, you're motivating
young people

to make better choices in life.

Mitch, man,
you are breaking barriers

and showing people
how to live their truth.

You were both picked to be here
for a reason.

You beat out thousands
of people

just to make it to
this Titan Arena.

Now it's time
to show the world why.

Get ready for Launch Pad.

[cheers and applause]

‐ Exodus in the blue.
Mitch in the red.

They just need to be able
to create speed,

momentum, and give a good‐‐

He's got one down already.

Mitch is off
to a strong start.

Exodus needing to find
some stability here

so he can create
enough momentum

and force with those legs
to get some good strong kicks

and knock down those slabs!

[dramatic musical sting]

And Exodus answers.
It's one to one.

‐ [grunts]
‐ But Mitch strikes again.

[dramatic music]

‐ [grunts]
‐ Two for Exodus!

‐ Hoo!
Whoo!

‐ Let's go, babe!

‐ Both Exodus and Mitch
have two slabs down

and two to go!

Mitch with a solid kick
but can't get it to fall.

Exodus building up momentum
with each swing,

trying to make good enough
contact to knock another off.

‐ [shouts]

‐ Exodus is gonna get
the third down.

‐ Oh!
Exodus is just one slab away

from taking this first battle.

‐ And Exodus with the four!

Oh, Exodus Rogers
is your winner.

‐ Wow. Wow.
Boom.

‐ Oh, I see you up there.

Pretty impressive.

‐ And Titan Arena
showing Exodus some love.

There's Xs all around.

He had that early lead.

Exodus, strong boy.

She's also
a kids counselor,

and he says her work ethic
inspires him every day.

Exodus squeezed my hand‐‐
‐ Yeah, but he was more excited

about meeting you
than the game.

‐ Coming up...

Can Mitch even the score
with Exodus?

‐ I didn't come here
just to tell my story.

I didn't come here
just to make a showing.

I came here to win.

‐ Here we go!
Good job!

‐ At stake‐‐
a trip to Mount Olympus

to take on Air Force pilot and
reigning Titan, Noah Palicia.

And then we have
a grape stomper

versus a belly flopper.

Which will get the crack at

We ready.

No pressure.
‐ Yeah.

‐ I'm Margaux Alvarez,

I'm 34 years old, and
I own a winery in California.

My parents loved wine.

I was actually named after
one of their favorite wines,

Châteaux Margaux.

So I feel I was destined
from birth to be a winemaker.

To be a winemaker,

it takes a lot of time
to be in the fields,

harvesting the grapes,

pulling 300‐pound bins
of grapes through the sand.

We've done the crushing

and have been able
to see the production of wine

coming from the grapes
all the way to the bottle.

Right now, I'm still pressing
the white, the Sauvignon blanc.

It's a lot of work,

but building it
from the ground up

and putting the blood, sweat,
and tears in it

has been
an amazing experience,

and I wouldn't trade it
for the world.

[exciting music]

Something you might not know
about me

is that I am a four‐time
belly flop champion.

‐ ♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

‐ Ooh!

‐ Every belly flop competition
is a little different.

I've been in some that style
goes a long way,

so maybe I'll do a backflip
into the belly flop

and kinda win the crowd over
like that.

‐ [laughs]
[audience oohs]

‐ It takes a lot of grit
and a lot of sacrificing

of pain
to be a belly flop champion.

There's definitely
some technique to it.

You know, you gotta try to
land as flat as possible.

You're not just jumping
into a pool,

you're making the best
belly flop that you can.

[audience oohs]

I wanna do this competition

is to show my kiddos

and I don't think
it's honestly clicked

that I'm actually on this show.
It's crazy.

I am such a big fan
of "The Titan Games."

Last season my family
would all crowd around

to watch "The Titan Games,"

and I've watched the season
three times so far.

No matter what I'm doing,

Appreciate it.
Thank you so much.

‐ So it will be Margaux
Alvarez versus Kelly Stone.

The first one to win
two battles

advances to Mount Olympus
to face reigning Titan

firefighter Kelly Valdez.

Whoever holds the title
in the West

locks their spot
in the Titan championship.

The competition between
Margaux and Kelly

starts right here
on Nuts and Bolts.

[dramatic music]

You need strength
and strategy

to conquer this challenge.

Each wall is loaded down
with 1,200 pounds.

You have to screw off
the end caps,

strip off the weights,

and when you think
that the wall is light enough,

run to the other side
and try to pull it down.

First one to bring down
their wall

and pull the victory chain
gets the win.

[cheers and applause]

[intense music]

Got Kelly in the blue,
Margaux in the red.

Both athletes have
their work cut out for them.

Those gold weights
are 135 pounds,

and those silver underneath
are 55 pounds.

Not an easy task
to just throw them off.

‐ And look at Margaux

using those bottom weights
as a ladder

to get some leverage to help
push weight off her wall.

‐ Go, Margaux, go!

‐ Push it!
‐ Whoo!

‐ Both Margaux and Kelly

shedding as much weight
off their wall as they can.

Kelly, the physical therapist,

finishing off
one of her posts.

‐ There you go.
There you go.

‐ You got it, you got it,

‐ Alex, you know
you wanna make this wall

as light as possible
before trying to pull it down.

We've seen competitors
go too early and regret it.

[dramatic musical sting]

‐ Go, Kelly!

‐ [grunts]

‐ Wow, this is close.
This is close.

‐ All of their upper weights
are off,

and now they both move on
to the bottom row,

and they're looking good
so far.

Neither one of them
wants to go too early

and make a costly mistake.

‐ Look, I hope they don't.

This is a game of strategy
right now.

[both grunting]

‐ They have this crowd
locked in.

Can you hear that?
‐ Yes!

‐ This crowd is on fire.

Unbelievable energy here...

‐ Wow!
‐ In the Titan Arena.

Margaux the winemaker
only has three weights left.

She is getting closer
to the opportunity

to bring the wall down,
but look at this!

‐ There goes Kelly!

‐ Kelly's going
to the other side,

and Margaux's
right behind her.

They both have 245 pounds
of weight left on the wall.

Who's gonna get
the upper hand here?

‐ Come on, Kelly!
Come on, Kelly!

was in the NCAA
championship game in 2010,

I didn't think

I'd be able to stand up
against Jessie Graff.

‐ Jessie Graff
has just been unbelievable

on "Ninja Warrior."

‐ I was very nervous.

Jessie does this kind of stuff
basically all the time.

But luckily, everything
I've been through in life

has made me tough
and has made me be a Titan.

I was 22 years old when
I entered the Coast Guard.

They pushed me to do things
to the best of my ability.

When I got out
of the Coast Guard,

I knew I wanted
to be a firefighter

for the U. S. Forest Service.

Taking on Mount Olympus

was definitely similar
to the mountains that I take on

in my everyday life.

Being a wildland firefighter,

we definitely
have to adapt on the fly

because everything's
always changing.

We could be out
in the middle of the forest

with a mountain on fire
and the winds change,

so you're just always
on your toes.

So I've taken on
Mount Olympus once

and came out on top,
so let's do it again.

Margaux, to be a Titan,
you gotta come beat a Titan.

‐ She walks through fire and
is back to defend her crown.

It's Kelly Valdez.

She are Margaux
are headed up the mountain,

but only one can walk away
as our Titan tonight.

‐ Margaux, you dominated
earlier tonight

winning two straight
competitions,

and that's a good thing,
because your opponent Kelly

dominated on Mount Olympus
last week‐‐

two unstoppable freight trains
on a collision course

to Titan glory.

Exactly how I dreamt
this whole thing up.

Margaux, Kelly,

it's time for Mount Olympus.

[cheers and applause]

‐ Here we go.

Margaux Alvarez in the red,

our Titan Kelly Valdez
in the black.

We're starting
with the Starting Gates,

and so far so good
for our two competitors.

‐ Come on, come on, come on,
come on, here we go!

‐ When Kelly Valdez was here
last week,

she got off to a slow start
against Jessie Graff.

But not today.
She's got her rhythm.

Margaux's staying
with her side‐by‐side.

This is shaping up
to be a good one, folks.

‐ These girls
are close already.

It's close already.

‐ On to the Log Lift.

Both competitors
have to carry a hundred pounds

up that steep incline.

Looks like Kelly
is struggling

to get a good grip
on the log.

‐ Go, go, go, go!
[cheering]

‐ [grunting]

‐ Margaux finishing up
on the Log Lift,

moving on to the Sky Bridge.

She'll have to remove
240 pounds of weight

to get that bridge to fall.

‐ Kelly got hung up.

‐ Kelly Valdez
hung up on that Log Lift.

That's 100 pounds

that you have to bring up
the mountain there.

It's like helping
your friend move.

Unfortunately, your friend
doesn't like you very much.

‐ Meanwhile, Margaux
is moving through this.

She told me earlier
this was for her sister.

Her sister passed away

but taught her
before she passed away

to push for your dreams.

So she's fighting for dreams
right now.

‐ Whoo!

‐ Go, Margaux!

‐ Sometimes it is
the intangibles in life

that push us the furthest,

and for Margaux Alvarez,
it seems as if so far

this been working out for her.

She has this lead.
Kelly Valdez right behind her.

‐ Let's go, ladies.
Let's go, ladies.

‐ Each turn lowers the pin
that will release the bridge.

And the bridge falls
for Margaux.

The winemaker keeps her lead
heading into the Cage Crawl.

[dynamic music]

‐ While Kelly is one
of only two women

in her fire department,

she has to prove herself
every day on the job,

and that's the determination
you're seeing right here.

‐ Then you have Margaux
who continues to push herself.

She powering through
the Cage Crawl.

But now Kelly
has her bridge down.

‐ Come on!
‐ Kelly knows what to expect

from this Cage Crawl.

You have to be fast,
you have to fly through this.

Margaux though, is doing
a brilliant job here

keeping the pace up.

She makes her way
down the Drop Zone,

and now Margaux Alvarez
is down the mountain

and about to embark
on the Ball and Chain.

canoe race for fun.
