It was the final hurdle for last fresher competition participants Steph Miller and Tyler Hunt at the Otago Museum reserve yesterday.
The two, both from Hayward College, had survived a week of competition which started with 10 first-year students eager to win the thousands of dollars worth of prizes.
They had to eat the plateful of stomach-churning food before sticking either a pig's trotter or tail in their mouths and scaling an inflatable climbing wall.
Mr Hunt was the eventual winner. His prizes included an action-packed trip to Queenstown, an iPod touch and a bicycle.
