## Episode 103

Before Norm was summoned to the stage, a clip of him and the other three contestants introducing themselves was shown. In this clip, apart from introducing himself, Norm stated that he uses logical intelligence in his everyday life because his job obliges him to make good decisions. He also stated that he wants to show his community, especially the children of his community, that they should not be underestimated and that they could be successful with a good education and hard work. Norm was the last contestant to be personally introduced by Jessi Cruickshank as he entered the stage, after Melanie Martin, Mith Das, and Lisa Preston. In the first challenge, Lost Instrument, Norm earned 0 points. As a result, Norm finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point.

In the second challenge, Motivate, Norm, like the other contestants, had to deliver a 30-second half-time speech, via the role of a coach, to a soccer team in order to boost their sunken morale for the rest of their game. Norm was the second contestant up and he said, "Mustang Kicks, I know things are looking tough, but don't be discouraged. Umm, your star is hurt, and that's fine, you're a team. It's not just one player. Who's ready to step in? Who's ready to raise their game to make up for this? You are? Okay, good, and you. Everybody has to be ready. Let me tell you a story. It was about a young, Native guy who was on a TV show and he bombed his first challenge in front of everybody, but he came back. All we've got to do is get one win and that's today. I don't want you to think–" Guest judge John Herdman commented that he thinks it is always good when one makes fun of themselves and acknowledged Norm for that. John ranked Norm in 3rd place for his speech and Norm was awarded 2 overall points as a result.

In the third challenge, Pipe Fitter, Norm successfully connected his plumbing system and filled his glass 2 minutes and 2 seconds into the challenge. As a result, Norm finished in 3rd place and was awarded 2 overall points. In the fourth challenge, Scrambled, Norm got 8 acceptable words in the first round and 8 in the final round. With a total of 16 acceptable words, Norm finished in last place and was awarded 1 overall point.

In the fifth challenge, Bouncer, Norm got past the second obstacle, but was never able to complete the course, resulting in a score of 2 points. As a result, Norm finished in 3rd place and was awarded 4 overall points. After the first five challenges, Norm had received a total of 10 overall points. As a result, he finished in 3rd place and was eliminated along with Melanie. Jessi prompted applause for Norm and Melanie in spite of their shared elimination.
