[Music fades] Bob: And . . . we’re back! Welcome to Tentatio, the reality show that pits your favorite church heroes against each other. CJ, bring us up to date! CJ: Thanks, Bob. We’ve whittled down the pack to three, and the surviving trio is a strong group. John and Jacob had a great day yesterday, but the judges were not impressed with Martin, and he’s trailing.
Bob: Ho-ho! You can say that again, CJ. Martin had to spend the night in the penalty cell, sleeping on a straw mat. Great sense of humor though: this morning, he simply shrugged and said it was just like the old days. Ha-ha! CJ: I don’t think he was kidding, Bob. Bob: Huh. Anyway, it looks like our contestants have arrived at today’s challenge,“The Pit and the Platform.” Let’s go down to our field reporter. Shelly, what’s going on?
