Given it took place in a country renowned for its love of darts, Bergs and Pike\u2019s abilities with \u2018the arrows\u2019 were fully put to the test. <\/p>\n<p> After they each popped a row of balloons and completed a tennis-ball balancing task, Bergs and Pike were charged with throwing a few balloon-popping \u2018bullseyes\u2019 to advance to the final stage. The first contestant to land a tennis ball through a target placed in the boot of a Lexus was crowned the winner. <\/p>\n<p> Did Bergs\u2019 elite tennis abilities transfer smoothly to the challenge, or could Pike spring a surprise victory in Rotterdam?
