One pair at a time is going to be strapped
to the side of this helicopter.
The helicopter's going to go over a course
with different targets.
You're going to be loaded with chalk bombs.
You're going to have to use those chalk bombs
to snipe those targets as best you can, all right?
- [screams] Let's do it!
- It's not going to be easy, but you'll have a lot of ammo.
In fact, an Aneesa and Jordan,
since you got third place yesterday,
you will be receiving 15 chalk bombs.
Tori and Devin, since you're in second so far,
you'll be getting 20.
And, Bananas and Nany, since you won the day,
you'll get 25 chalk bombs and choose today's order.
- All right.
- The winner of today will be also getting
a distinct advantage.
So you want to be them, all right?
Let's get this show on the road--good luck.

is Tori and Devin, obviously,
because they are just doing so well.

Now, this entire season,

And that's exactly what all of these rooms represent.
So you're going to have to be battling it out,
barging through four different rooms
to get all the way to that lever.
They're all very difficult and strenuous.
However, once you pull that lever,
you'll become the champion
of "The Challenge: Ride or Dies,"
and take home $1 million.
All right, good luck. Get it done.

Oh, my gosh, I'm trying not to cry.

So many emotions are coming over me right now.
I feel like I've just put so much work into the season.
We both have.
And to leave, like, a "Challenge" champ

- They say at the top, it's lonely,
but no the [bleep] it's not,
because I'm with my ride-or-die, yo.
Love you guys.
I believe in myself now.
Maybe people thought I believed in myself before.
I truly now feel like a champ,
and I'm just so grateful that I was able to do it
with you, really. - You are a champ.
- Thank you.
- We are champs.
- To the bar!
Please, for the love of God.
