Tyler Blanchard won Sneaky Boy Olympics at American Dream

Mall security escorted Eric Decker and Gavin Baker off the property with one-year trespass orders before dawn.

Tyler Blanchard won the Sneaky Boy Olympics on the Airrack channel after he, host Eric Decker, and Gavin Baker tried to hide overnight inside American Dream, the megamall in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Decker framed the stunt as an Olympic-style contest among three friends who had scouted the mall for weeks. He hid in back-of-house corridors dressed as an employee. Baker wheeled a trash can through the concourse. Blanchard posed as a ferris wheel technician, talked his way onto the Dream Wheel on the third floor, and asked real staff to leave a pod door unlocked for a return visit.

The mall's general manager knew Decker was filming and told him the security team worked around the clock. Every other employee was unaware. Decker later printed wanted posters offering $500 for Baker and Blanchard and hung them while disguised as staff. Security picked one up and stepped up the search.

Decker gave mall security his ID when they confronted him in the back rooms. Guards began looking for Eric Decker by name. Blanchard closed his pod from inside and could not reopen it; he told guards he had been trapped for hours when they found him.

Decker crossed the mall to reach the wheel while guards were hunting him. Baker and Blanchard had a secret alliance against him. Decker reached the pod but could not open the door and left Blanchard inside when a guard appeared.

Baker later pushed Decker through the mall hidden in a janitor cart, planning to wheel him off property. Security stopped them, asked Baker for a badge, and pulled Decker out near guest services.

Decker and Baker signed one-year trespass orders and left around 4 a.m. Blanchard stayed in the ferris wheel pod and won the gold medal once both rivals were off the property.
