BMN Celebrity Superfan New Orleans: Episode 4

It's time for me to catch up with the episode that would have run on BMN TV on Jan. 31, the week before the Super Bowl. - D.H.

For this episode, the teams come together to work on the backyard.  It will include playground equipment, a ball pit, a bounce house, tables, chairs, and a fire pit.  Shandi stops the work to make an announcement: Each team is now tasked with decorating the planters that will go outside!  The winning team in this part of the challenge gets the advantage for the dinner challenge.

Team Sadie's "patriotic" design of red roses and white and blue tulips is judged better than Team Shawn's hydrangeas in a vase shaped like an ancient Egyptian urn.

As with the previous week, the main challenge directly ties in to the work they've done all day.  It's a relay race through a mayhaw patch.  A maze is placed in the patch, and contestants have to answer questions about scenes from Gone Barefoot and its spin-off shows.  Answer correctly and the team member gets a clear path to tag to a teammate; get it wrong and teams will be diverted to paths surrounded by walls until they can guess correctly.  Alex Debogorski sits out as the extra member of Team Sadie.

Shawn Michaels gets his team out to an early lead, but LeCrae, Nick Vujicic, and Brooke Liptrap all answer incorrectly on their first times out, causing the lead to evaporate.  Meanwhile, Sadie Robertson and her teammates have a perfect score, leading to Team Sadie winning for the third week in a row.

At panel, factions against LeCrae, Nick, and Brooke develop, and the judges provide no clarity.  Brandon McLamb wants LeCrae to go since, in McLamb's eyes, the rapper has been the worst overall performer this season.  But Brooke and LeCrae want Nick to be eliminated, since they don't consider the limbless one to be a team player.  In turn, Nick wants Brooke gone, and tries to convince Mikel de Vries and Barbie Blank of the same.  Mikel agrees, but Barbie does not and prefers to send Nick home.  After nearly two hours of deliberation, Brandon convinces the others to go with his decision; therefore, LeCrae is eliminated from the show.
