The first challenge was basically a giant skeeball game, with the dads having to roll these medicine balls up a ramp into a hole. Two dads had a lot of trouble with the exertion, one of whom ended up collapsed on the floor. TPTB decided he was incapable of continuing, so they rushed him off by ambulance. He was fine, though, and a scene they must have taped later showed him promising to lose twenty pounds and come back to compete again.
But what was oddest about this experience was that TPTB had apparently anticipated this sort of occurance in the rules, which called for a substitute team taking over their place! That team ended up making it to the final two.
They've also changed the giant velcro dartboard game since the first episode. Now the kids are allowed to throw the darts at the board instead of having to collide with it, which makes it much easier to get a high score.
And the final challenge has borrowed a page from the Fear Factor "yuck" challenges; the dads had to bob for tomatoes in an aquarium filled with snakes.
