VIDEO & VOTE: Toneys eliminated on Fair Factor

The first pair of contestants was eliminated from Fair Factor Saturday night.

Seven contestants began the Fair Factor competition Friday, the event where competitors will do almost anything to win $1,000 cash.

This year's competitors are the teams of Daniel Laney and Miranda Tansell, Randy and Mandy Toney, Brandy Minor and Kimberly Kernodle, Vonda Wood and Tara Harrision, Ryan Deakins and Nick Deakins, Alex DeVol and J. Wayde Knox, and Mike Dobson and Maria Badillo.

Randy and Mandy Toney were voted off Saturday with nearly 55 percent of the vote. Randy wished his fellow competitors good luck, and Mandy said they were probably eliminated because they were too much of a threat.

Daniel Laney and Miranda Tansell had the fewest votes with less than 1 percent. Ryan and Nick Deakins had immunity from Friday night.

For Saturday's voting challenge, the contestant each acted out a different animal song. Alex and Wayne won the immunity challenge. They untied each other while sitting in a manure pool and ate a black egg in 1:27.

The first competition was cheerleading. Contestants had to put together their best 4-H Fair cheer using two dozen worms as pom poms.

The immunity challenge was a hoof toss where two tubs were filled with all kinds of animal parts -- stomachs, skin, snouts, fat, etc. -- and milk that had be left out in the 90 degree sun for two days. One team member had to pull out five pig's feet and toss them into the other tub held by their partner.

Competition continues Sunday at 6 p.m. at on Center Circle across from the Pork Producers.

Fair Factor is sponsored by The Lebanon Reporter, Zionsville Times Sentinel, RadioMom 91.1 FM, NorthPark Community Credit Union and Boone County Farm Bureau Inc..
