The seventh episode of the Ukrainian reality show 'The Biggest Loser Ukraine' marks the halfway point of the project: after six weeks of training and competition, the blue and yellow teams will face the most difficult challenge of the season. The competition will take place across two Kyiv skyscrapers, and participants are tasked with something that tests not only physical fitness but also their ability to overcome a fear of heights. Details about the format of the new episode were revealed by the entertainment project Styler from RBC-Ukraine ([source](https://styler.rbc.ua/ukr/people/32-poverhi-pishki-y-perehid-trosu-shcho-chekae-1794653074.html)). ### Climbing to the 32nd Floor: The First Barrier Before stepping onto the roof, each participant must climb the 32nd floor of the skyscraper on foot. The organizers note that even this part of the task, unrelated to open space and height, causes noticeable anxiety among some participants. For people accustomed to stairs and elevators in everyday life, a multi-story climb without stopping becomes an independent test of endurance and concentration that must be completed before the main stage of the competition. ### Tightrope Crossing at a Height of 125 Meters After the climb, the teams must overcome another 35 meters on a tightrope stretched between the buildings at a height of 125 meters above the ground. Each participant is required to carry their team's flag to the neighboring roof — and do so in conditions where the city landscape opens up below. As participant Yevheniia describes her impressions: 'Just an abyss, just a billion floors below.' It is this stage, rather than the climb, that becomes the key moment of the episode. ### Contest Rules and Penalties for Refusal According to the rules of the challenge, leaving the flag at the start is prohibited: it must be delivered to the opposite roof. If a participant does not dare to walk between the buildings, another team member must perform their task. To do this, that person will have to go back down, climb the 32nd floor again, and cross the tightrope a second time. The participant who refused the crossing receives an individual anti-bonus at the weigh-in — meaning penalty kilograms that will worsen their result in the project. ### Fear of Heights as the Main Obstacle For part of the team, fear of heights becomes the most difficult barrier, comparable in significance to physical exertion. In footage from the episode, participant Natalia said in tears: 'I can't handle it. I won't pass.' Such moments show that the seventh episode is decided not only by the fitness and endurance accumulated over six weeks, but also by psychological readiness to act at a height where there is no insurance against one's own emotions. ### Winner and Airtime The team that is first to transfer all their flags to the roof of the neighboring building will win. The winners will receive a bonus — minus two kilograms at the weigh-in, which in the logic of the project is a serious advantage. Whether all participants will dare to cross and who will have to complete the route again will be revealed in the seventh episode of 'The Biggest Loser Ukraine', which airs on Sunday at 19:00 on the STB channel. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [32 этажа пешком и переход по тросу: что ждет участников "Зважених і щасливих" в новом выпуске](https://styler.rbc.ua/ukr/people/32-poverhi-pishki-y-perehid-trosu-shcho-chekae-1794653074.html) - Primary source: description of the 7th episode format — climbing to the 32nd floor, 35m tightrope crossing at 125m height, flag rules, anti-bonus for refusal, minus 2 kg bonus for the winner, airing Sunday 19:00 on STB.
