Ok, so this is kind of breaking the rules since it isn't mixing anything.

Praying competition. Each team gathers on their own side of a field. They pray until the other team gets struck by lightning.

The idea came from this thread

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Now THAT is an awesome idea. Especially the hit-by-lightning part.

Skydive Programming

Take a parachute which is (somehow) hooked up to a laptop. Jump out of a plane. On the way down, you must make a program that will release your parachute.

If you are too slow, well.... SPLAT

"Iron Triage"
(Sort of like the Food Network's "Iron Chef" except here competing doctors, sort, diagnose, treat and cure in-coming emergency room patients all within an hour. (Celebrity panel then judges them.)

"Let's Play Darts! - Not it!"
(Game involves running from as well as throwing darts.)

"Celebrity Sobriety Checkpoint"
(Another great show where the Hollywood police department stops and checks motorists in the hope of snagging a star!")

"Bungeeless Jumping" (Or "Jumping for Bungees")
The object is to grab the lifeline in flight.

"Trumpet High Dive"
Don't just dive off the Acapulco Cliffs, but play a fanfare on the way down.

I'd like to suggest an improvement: A team prays to have me hit by lightning while i stand in the middle holding a lightning rod. If their combined faith is stronger then my lack of faith, i'll get zapped.

I'm not sure what that proves, but it'll be entertaining anyway.

Nononono! Steeplechase jousting. The horses (and riders) go around in opposite directions until one rider is unseated by his/her opponent, yeilds, or is knocked out cold. If you just fall off, your opponent is allowed to take swings at you while you're trying to get back on your horse. Aside from the standard lance, the riders also get a sword, a flail, and a mace. Might have to make the jumps a little lower.

I like it...

How 'bout knight baiting for the loser? Also we could have have a friar chicken cook-off as a side event.
