Who: John Salley
Odds: 5-1
In his favor: Despite his PETA-approved vegan diet, in the first challenge, basketball icon-turned-actor and talk show host John Salley swallowed a rattail without so much as cringing. He also scored big for strategy by volunteering to go first, knowing... more the worst was still to come.
Against him: Still, "Spider" Salley's arachnophobia may get the better of him. After all, how long can he survive the show's tarantula fetish?
