For this episode, '''all three''' of the participating members have to beat the [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|spicy-capsicum extract BBQ]] two-pound challenge in 15 minutes and then endure a 5 minute waiting period, or else the challenge would count as a loss. {{spoiler|Two of the Harlem Globetrotters finished with over a minute left to go, while the last one (Bull) finished it at the very last second. All three of them ended up succeeding the 5 minute waiting period, with two of the three enduring an extra minute's worth of pain since they had to wait for Bull to finish.

Food Nation belt, [[Ascended Fanboy|while the Harlem Globetrotters end up honoring him with an honorary one-of-a-kind #1 Richmond jersey for helping them out.]]}}
