Height: 4'7" Record: 3-0 Best Time: 42.08 Best Obstacle: Warped Wall "This is the semifinals. There's no backing down now. They're going to be pushed more than ever before. "Look at the determination on their faces. They know the final eight is near. They want it. "Locked in step for step. Both of them skip the second rope. "A big jump onto the I-Beam by Taylor, and she's pulling away! But Bella just picked up the pace. She is right on Taylor's heels. "Will either one be able to link the baskets? Taylor keeps the lead, but she missed her dismount! Bella's off first! Both of them go straight to the second handhold, but once again Bella Palmer is the belle of the ball! "Well, a dramatic conclusion to our very first race. Let's take another look at what happened on Spin Cycle. "Taylor's lead was always small. When she missed her dismount, Bella saw her opportunity, and made a big move to take the lead. "So Bella Palmer gets the first spot in the Elite Eight. To find out who she'll face in the next round, let's head back down to the starting line." Luke Sarion versus David Futeran "In his first race, Luke Sarion came up short of victory. But when others would have given up, he came back fighting. His speed on the early obstacles gave him two impressive wins. And his fast feet have been enough to make up for his struggles on Spin Cycle." Luke Sarion
