For the third series in a row, the Doughnut Run served as the second obstacle in the champions special. Shabba 'And His Homies' was the first to attempt the obstacle, but he fell into the water trying to get onto the second donut. During his attempt, he was passed by 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy and Josh 'From Kent', both of whom failing the obstacle, the former of whom as a result of a dodgeball kicked by Eduardo Maradona. 'Great' Scott then slipped into the water, before 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy failed his second attempt as a result of his attempt to push Josh 'From Kent' backfired on him. Josh 'From Kent' went on to complete the obstacle on his second attempt, while Shabba 'And His Homies' and 'Great' Scott failed again. On 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy's third attempt at the obstacle, he made it to the very end but couldn't make the leap to the finishing platform. Shabba 'And His Homies' and 'Great' Scott began helping each other out to complete the obstacle by forming a coalition, allowing Shabba 'And His Homies' to complete the obstacle. However, he took a while to get onto the final platform, and with 'Great' Scott waiting, 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy had caught back up. Once Shabba 'And His Homies' had gotten out of the way, 'Great' Scott failed the final leap and gave 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy an opening to snatch the final qualifying spot. Unfortunately for 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy, he also failed the final leap. This let 'Great' Scott make another attempt, in which he completed the obstacle and eliminated 'Wiggly Wiggly' Andy.
