It was the last night of the battle rounds and in the words of Carson, it was "go big or go home." Contestants were giving it their all, trying to secure their place. Here's how they stacked up:
Brittany Butler & Ricky Manning - Team Pharrell
Pharrell gave them George Benson's "On Broadway" which seemed to be more of a better feel for Brittany because she has a Jazzy influence. Luckily Ricky was able to draw some connection from the song and become just as passionate as Brittany. They did an

This week we begin with the third installment of the battle rounds and conclude with the last round! Here were the best performances of the night:

What really sets this survivalist show apart from the others is the pairings they make. In this episode they have paired Rob, and environmental activist who biked barefoot from San Diego with Kevin, a wealthy realtor originally from South Africa (now Orange County). They meet in Alligator Bayou in the Louisiana swamps eager to be tethered to another human being. Ok, maybe not so eager once Rob (a self proclaimed "free spirit") sees Kevin approach him with a sweater tied around his shoulders. "This is exactly the kind of partner I said I
