 | Team Ernst & Young (USA) // Number 56 |
|
 | Team Ernst & Young is composed of two women and two men. Brad Pennington is a member of American Mensa, an organization that only accepts certified geniuses as members. Let's see if he's smart enough to outwit the jungles of Borneo! The team hopes that their training in the extreme heat and humidity of the Texas Gulf Coast will help acclimate them to the conditions in Sabah.
