Tehachapi was taped in the Tehachapi Mountains at Tejon Ranch in the summer of 2005 for airing beginning that Fall. A 13th pyramid piece, Friendship, was added this season. The Red team of Franke Sisto and Erika Cook won the grand prize, a trip to Costa Rica. Julie Dubela appeared on American Juniors in 2003 and auditioned for American Idol. Jeszie Geronimo appeared on TKO: Total Knock Out in 2018. Contestants and teams There was no Brown team this season, which meant only seven teams competed: Elimination table Key (FIRST) The team won the Final Temple Mission and became “Endurance” Champions. (SECOND) The team lost the Final Temple Mission and were the runners-up. (WIN) The team won the Endurance Mission, the previously eliminated team's pyramid pieces, and the Samadhi. (WIN) The team won the Temple Mission. (SAMADHI) The team was handicapped with the Samadhi by the winning team. (SAFE) The team did not win the challenge, but was safe from going to Temple or did not receive the Samadhi. (TEMPLE) The team won at the Temple of Fate and avoided elimination. (TEMPLE) The team came in last place during the Endurance mission and was forced to go to Temple in the next episode. (OUT) The team lost at the Temple of Fate and was eliminated. Notes 1In "Drop Out," there was no Samadhi to give to another team. The winning team (Red) got the chance to create two super-teams. The Red team created their super-team of Red, Green, and Yellow. The second super-team was Blue, Purple, and Orange. The winning super-team members were all safe from going to the Temple of Fate. 2In "Waterworks," the Purple Team was forced to go to Temple of Fate in the next episode for coming last in the Endurance mission. If they won the next Temple Mission (the "Fireball" challenge), they could have sent another team in their place. However, they did not win it, so the Purple Team went to the Temple. 3In “Spin Fly,” each team won a certain amount of Pyramid Pieces in the challenge, which is indicated in parentheses.
