Ed vs. Spencer

In ED VS. SPENCER, self-proclaimed best friends (though their actions often imply otherwise) Ed Leigh and Spencer Claridge face off in challenges worthy of a Jackass salute. Some of their contests have included seeing who can make the most money in three days, who can survive the longest in the woods, and and who can become the most famous. Each episode follows the duo's battles in a new task, with each competitor employing his own arsenal of talents (and irritants) to throw the other off his game. Though their strategies are different -- Spencer relies on mental toughness and perseverance to outlast Ed's aggravating, annoying behavior -- the guys are similarly merciless in battle. For example, in one episode they were handcuffed together with no relief from each other's company until one gave up and unlocked the cuffs, thereby losing the game. They proceeded to engage in outright war, using noisemakers, flatulence, bathroom trips, a steam in the sauna, and even an electric shock machine to drive each other to concession.
