- Time for BaNany's last ride! - [laughing] Yes.
- Woo!
- The reunion's about to begun, but has it really begun?
[laughter] - Yeah!
- I'm nervous.
- It can't be worse than the final.
[bell rings]
- All right, let's go! - Yeah?
- Fessy, showtime. Let's go.
- Let's go. - Get it!
- Is Nany up here? Nany!
- All right, guys.
We're five minutes till we're live, so let's do it, folks!
Let's go to the studio, everybody!
Here we go!
- Are you going to play nice? - [laughing] No.
- Buckle up. It's about to go down.
- I cannot wait.
[dramatic music]
- It's reunion time.
Tonight, drama we didn't even know existed comes to light.
- You are only my friend when it's convenient for you, so--
[all exclaiming] - Oh, damn!
- She forgot about it.
- I expected us to be friends. You're the one that blocked me.
- Listen. - No, that's weird.
- I had to listen to you! You listen to me, right?
- Online shade explodes into onstage fire.
- I don't want to have a conversation with you.
I don't want to listen to you...
- Because there's receipts, Laurel!
- Ya yapping.
- She's just mad that she can't get it like I do.
- Don't puff your chest out now because you don't want it!
- It drips gold, bitch. - Whoa.
- Plus, we got a few surprises in store.
You are especially glowing. What's your secret?
- Oh, my God!
- Here to give us his version, please welcome Turbo!
[cheers and applause]
And you know we brought everyone's favorite daggers.
- Hold it. - Oh, my God.
- This is some [bleep] up [bleep].
[laughter and shouting]
[dramatic music]
- Whose idea was this? [laughs]
- Tea is going to be hot.
- Getting on my nerves.
- It's about to be lit.
[cheers and applause]
- What's up, world?
Welcome to London, and welcome
to "The Challenge: Ride or Dies Reunion."
[cheers and applause]
I'm Maria Menounos, back again to wade through
the blood, sweat, and puke from season 38.
I'm loving everyone's looks.
We've got our winners rockin' their gold.
- Got a little "champ" on the shoe.
- Nailed it. - Oh, let's see.
- Got 'em. - Ah.
- Ay!
- And I'm an idiot, so I decided to dress like that.
[laughter]
- Amber, you are especially glowing.
What's your secret?
- I am pregnant. [all exclaiming]
- Yo! That's awesome!
- What? - Oh, my God!
[all exclaiming]
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!
I can see your bump.
You're gonna be a dad! [overlapping chatter]
- Woo-hoo! [applause]
- Woo!
- I couldn't hide it any longer.
- You're gonna be the best mom ever.
- Thank you so much. - The best mom.
- Oh, my God. - Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Everyone's clearly very happy for you guys.
- Thank you. - Amazing.
- It's always great to start the reunion with happy news,
but we got to dive into the drama.
We are going to unpack the 100-hour final later.
But first, I want to put some Ride or Dies in the hot seat.
Best friends know which buttons to push,
but there's a fine line between motivating and irritating.
Pressure makes diamonds and explosions.
Take a look.
- Got it. - Wait, wait, wait, wait. Ah!
Ah, [bleep]!
- Jakk, what are you doing? - [bleep]!
- Jesus [bleep] Christ.
- You made me look like a clown in front of the whole house.
- How?
Because I am interested in another girl?
- Exactly.
- You're doing the most right now.
- Pair.
Ow, [bleep]!
- Stop! God.
- I was just-- - You're a [bleep] idiot.
- Come on.
- OK. - No more "I can'ts."
Yes, you can. - I--ow.
- No "ows!" You don't feel pain!
[clattering]
- But it's just a lack of respect
when you [bleep] walk away and don't
even console me or hug me.
He just walked straight to the car like a [bleep] bitch.
- OK, you're-- - [cries]
[dramatic music]
- Nany, Bananas got under your skin.
- Oh, yeah.
- What is it that irritates you most about him?
[laughter] - Oh, that's a long list.
- You know what? It's--
- Give us the top three.
- It's funny because I really can't pinpoint what it is.
I grew up a tomboy, and I always hung out with all boys.
And, like, they would always crack jokes.
And, like, I could always take it.
I feel like with Johnny, it's like this--
it's the same thing.
When he, like, cracks jokes on me and, like, picks on me,
like, I just talk [bleep] right back.
- You have a banter.
- Yes, yeah.
- Olivia, Horacio stormed off after that mini-final.
How did you feel in that moment,
watching your Ride or Die leave you behind?
- I'm not a big crier, but I was so just drained.
I was like, out of everyone, he's doing this to me?
He's just walking away?
He's like the nicest guy in the house, too,
and I called him a bitch. [laughter]
Like, I was, like, not having it.
- You know, I made her cry.
I never wanted to hurt her in any kind of way.
But you know, it made us stronger
because once we actually came back,
the communication was solid.
And so it was kind of a blessing in disguise.
- Jordan and Aneesa, obviously, you guys
had some tense moments we've talked about.
Do you feel like your motivation techniques
ever crossed the line?
[laughter]
- Um--
- Nope.
- I think if they did, I think I would have been like,
you know what? [bleep] you, I'm done.
- You never think you took it too far, Jordan?
You're no regrets? - Too far?
No. - You weren't mean to me.
- There's a difference-- right, there's a difference
in berating someone. - He just yelled sometimes.
- Like, oh, you're so slow. You're this, you're that.
No, everything was-- - You're just passionate.
- Stop being negative, we're being positive.
Thank you. I'm passionate.
- You are passionate.
- And I know that she could do more.
- She could do it. - Jakk--
- Thanks.
- Some people fear Laurel,
but you found her intensity comforting.
[laughter] Can you explain that?
- Spit in my mouth. - I don't know.
I feel like it's like-- it's a similar thing.
You have to talk to your partner in a certain way to--
- Tell them you're from Philly and you get it.
[laughter] - Yeah.
- A Northeasterner would understand how I communicate.
My whole family are New Yorkers.
- That's it. - So you tell it straight.
So that comes out when I need something done, and I'm like,
do it, get it done.
- Imagine if she were to go, like,
[softly] Jakk, we need to get it done.
Like, that would be weird. - That wouldn't work!
- It wouldn't get done, no. - It wouldn't work.
- You need to scream in my face.
- We're going to Johnny.
Instead of strategizing with your Ride or Die,
you were busy with Nurys.
- Yes.
- What made you confident that it wouldn't affect
your chemistry with Ravyn?
- Going into the house, Ravyn and I were not a thing.
We were not a couple. - Liar!
- Hold on.
Ravyn, when she asks me a question,
could you please let me answer without cutting me off?
- No. Then don't lie.
- Before going into the house, her and I
were watching "The Challenge" together at my crib.
While doing this, we're laid up in my bed.
She might be rubbing on some things.
I may be rubbing on some things.
- Rubbing? - Yeah!
Just "body to body type" stuff.
Whatever. I'm not hiding anything, right?
And for me, it's like, there's no chance
that anything was going to happen with me and Ravyn.
We're friends. - Bro.
- And that's it.
- We're not friends if I'm rubbing your back,
if I'm buying you breakfast. - Oh, my God.
Ravyn, please. - No, no!
- Let me finish.
- Because you're going to make me look like a fool.
- I'm not going to.
- In the show, though, you said you felt like he led you on.
Is that--
- He definitely led me on until we got to the show.
I'm not delusional.
It's not like you weren't giving me signs
like we could have been something.
- We didn't even kiss each other.
- You're a piece of [bleep]. Like--
- Wow. - We didn't kiss?
- No, we didn't kiss. - Boy, don't let me say--don't.
- I will literally put that on everything.
I literally said to you-- - Say the details.
- Say it. Say it.
- When did you kiss? - Say it, please.
- We kissed a year and a half ago.
- This dude saw my titties, yo. [laughter]
- She showed 'em to me!
- It's OK. Y'all all see my titties all the time.
- You asked to see them! - And you said yes.
- Like, bro, don't act like you wasn't
fake humping me from behind.
Like, dude, you were doing a lot of stuff leading me on!
- Exactly, exactly. [laughter]
- That happened a long time ago,
over a year and a half ago.
- Ravyn, do you blame Johnny's lack of focus
on your partnership as a reason you guys
didn't make it far in "The Challenge"?
- I don't think his lack of focus
was necessarily during the competitions,
but what it was from me
was his lack of focus emotionally with me.
I needed that support, and he wasn't there for me like that.
- Why do you feel like
connecting with your Ride or Die
has to be with touching someone that's not your man?
- It's not about touching, girl!
- You hopped in bed with him!
- It's about feeling like you've
got someone by your side!
- Nelson will always have me,
and you don't see me cuddled up with him.
You don't see any of these Ride or Dies...
- Girl, you were cuddled with two other people!
- Cuddling up except for the couples.
- Stop. - Like, what?
- Like, stop. Like, when you--
- No, you sound stupid.
- When you feel like you have no one there,
when you feel like your own Ride or Die
can't even be there for you,
that's the hardest [bleep] part!
- So make new friends.
Stop being up under his ass for no [bleep] reason.
- And I'm not going to explain [bleep] to him.
At the end of the day, I felt alone.
I felt like I had no one there.
- Ravyn, I hate to see you upset.
I hate to see you cry. I'm not going to lie.
- No. No, you don't.
- Yes, I--
- You don't give a [bleep] about me, so stop.
- OK. She couldn't get over it.
- She's lying to herself. - She is lying herself.
- Yeah.
- So Ravyn, do you still consider Johnny a Ride or Die?
- No, not at all.
- Nurys, where do things stand with Johnny now?
- Uh-- - Well--
- Oh, OK.
So when I got back from "The Challenge," literally
the same day I flew back into the States,
I went to go see him because I felt
like he deserved the truth about what
happened with Jordan and I.
- Did you guys have makeup sex?
[laughter] - Uh, probably.
[laughs]
- Have you hooked up since the show ended?
- Oh, yes, definitely.
- Yeah. - But yeah, so we--
- Like, girl, you done been with three people.
OK, never mind. - Yes, I did.
And so the [bleep] what?
- OK, so when someone else perceives it...
- Ravyn, shut the [bleep] up!
- How they want to perceive it--
- Shut the [bleep] up! - I'm just saying.
- Shut the [bleep] up. - I'm just saying.
- Shut the [bleep] up.
- No, literally, shut the [bleep] up.
- That is your [bleep]! Yours, Nurys!
- She's just mad that she can't get it like I do.
- I'm not mad. - Woo!
- You're mad that you can't get it like I do.
- Her vagina doesn't hurt you! - I can't get it?
- It drips gold, bitch.
- [laughing] Oh. - Woo!
- Maybe mine's just bronze. I mean, like--
- I like myself for exactly who the [bleep] I am,
the good, the bad, the ugly.
I don't give a [bleep] about what anyone
like you or anybody else has to say about me that's negative.
- OK, it's obvious we're not going to settle this,
so let's keep going.
Coming up, power moves don't necessarily
make you a power couple.
Jay and Michele's gameplay had everyone confused.
Does Michele finally have questions for Laurel?
Find out next.
- Oh! Oh, my God.
- I don't know how you play that.
Look at that. - [laughing] Thanks.
- 'Cause she is fine. - Fes.
- You cook things up in your head, and they're not real.
I don't want to have a conversation with you.
I don't want to listen to you...
- Because there's receipts, Laurel!
- Ya yapping.
- Each Ride or Die can avoid
answering any fan question.
All you got to do is pull the safe dagger.
- Ooh. - Pull the dagger!
- Oh, OK, Yeah.
I'll pull the-- [sword slicing]
- Ah! - All right.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, my--
- This is some [bleep] up [bleep].
[laughter] [all exclaiming]
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "The Challenge:
Ride or Dies Reunion."
Super fans are the ultimate ride or dies,
and they had endless theories from this season.
We got tons of fan questions, but tonight there's a twist.
The daggers are in the building,
and each Ride or Die can avoid answering
any fan question--not a Maria question, a fan question.
All you got to do is pull the safe dagger.
Let's get started.
Daphne wants to know, Faysal, your name
means decision maker.
So ride or die, hook up, eliminate Colleen...
- Oh. - Michele, Laurel.
- Oh, [bleep]. - Hoo.
- No! - Oh!
- Pull the dagger fast! [laughter]
- Not half the cast! - Pull it!
- This is some [bleep] up [bleep].
[laughter]
- Oh, he touched it! [all exclaiming]
- There's no safes in there. What's it going to be, bro?
- Hoo. OK, well...
- He's gonna eliminate Colleen. - Of course.
- We're going to eliminate Colleen
because she's not here, and I don't got to deal
with that [bleep] right now. [laughter]
I mean, it could be either-or because, I mean,
I would hook up with either one of them.
[laughter] - You would?
- And I would ride or die with them in the game.
- [whispering]Good job.
- So we're going to go with that.
- So not a decision maker, case in point.
- Oh!
- I'm sorry, Faysal!
- I can't make decisions to save my life.
- OK, Mia wants to know, Moriah,
were you using Bananas to get further in the game?
[all exclaiming]
- Well, as everyone here knows, I'm still talking to Bananas.
I made a statement before saying
it was good for my game, and he knows that.
- So, Veronica, you had the opposite opinion.
You posted that in six months,
people will be saying that Bananas...
- I mean, it's been six months.
- Is using Moriah.
- Veronica lets her own disdain for me
cloud her judgment about-- - It's not my disdain for you.
It's the history that has shown--
that you have shown throughout your past relationships
that we have all watched unfold.
- You don't know anything about my relationships.
It's my business.
Keep your nose where it belongs, and just move on.
You're not exactly the poster child for great relationships
either, so we don't need to hear about it.
- OK.
I've actually spent time with you in Colombia
when you had a girlfriend, post-Dirty 30.
So let's not go there because I don't
want to have to actually, like, talk about
things that I have seen or--
- You can talk about whatever you want, Veronica.
- Anyways--
- Well, all the house was wrong.
Johnny and Moriah are still friends,
and they're seeing each other, and we did not see that coming.
- I didn't see it coming, dude. - Yeah.
- OK.
There will be plenty of opportunities
to pull the dagger, but let's keep it moving.
Being drunk with power is fun
until you wake up with a hangover.
Jay and Jakk knew brotherhood was strong,
but Michele's paranoia about Laurel was stronger.
Take a look.
- ♪ One, two, three, four ♪
♪ Every single time that I went to bed ♪
- Jay and I have really established
a strong almost brotherhood.
I love this dude.
The connection that we are building right now,
I could see this dude actually being one of my close friends.
- I just feel like I've
felt something off about Laurel since the beginning.
I felt like she was the one who got me thrown in last time.
- The fastest team of the day--
Jay and Michele. [cheering]
[dramatic music]
- OK, so are you guys not going to talk?
- Do you have a question?
- I get a sense that you don't want to be working with me.
If that's untrue, then I'm reading something wrong.
But that's how I feel, and I have to go with how I feel.
- OK, Michele, who's it going to be?
- Laurel and Jakk, unfortunately.
- I feel a little betrayed.
But you know, I'm not a [bleep] rat-[bleep] piece of garbage
that threw me down here, so--
- The pressure is on.
Michele and I have to win because...
[laughing] They're all coming for me now.
- Check, check, check! - Check, check, check!
- That's correct. [air horn blares]
- Just don't say one thing to someone, and then do another,
'cause it just makes you weak.
- Don't call me weak though, bro, because that's bull--
nah, bro. - Weak-minded.
- No, that's [bleep] weak to call other people weak.
Tonight will be... Aneesa and Jordan.
- What'd I tell you? What did I say?
[dramatic music]
♪ ♪
- Yes!
- That sucks.
♪ ♪
- Now's the time!
Jordan, Aneesa, who's it going to be and why?
- TJ, one of the most beautiful parts about this game
is how we can earn our redemption
down in elimination.
- Jay and Michele, welcome.
- Michele, why do you think Laurel was targeting you?
- I think that in the beginning of the season,
me and Laurel were actually connecting.
Like, we had a lot of conversations
where I actually thought we had a lot in common.
At some point in the season, that seemed to switch off.
I felt like if I would walk into a room,
she would walk out.
I mean, she was going through some things anyways,
like she had slept on--whatever.
So she was going through her own stuff...
- She had what?
- That had nothing to do with me.
- I slept on toilet water one night.
It was the night before the barrel challenge,
I went around looked-- I asked a producer.
I said, do you have any earplugs?
I'm at my max right now. I can't sleep.
I'm an only child. I don't have--
[laughter] I can't deal with the noise.
I can't fall asleep. They're partying.
And so I went up to the producer.
He's like, I'll try and find them to you.
That means I'm not going to find them.
So I went into every room, and I said, do you have earplugs?
Do you have earplugs? Do you have earplugs?
I went into Faysal's room.
There was toilet water on the ramp.
I slipped.
I had the size of a baseball bump on my knee.
And what was the question? I forgot.
[laughter]
And Michele thought it was about her!
- No, that's not what I was saying.
- PS!
- That's not what I was saying at all, Laurel.
What I was saying was that you had
other [bleep] going on
that gave an energy around the house.
Then you warmed up to other people.
You never re-warmed up to me.
And maybe that's a perception,
but perception is reality, right?
- You cook things up in your head, and they're not real.
I don't want to have a conversation with you.
I don't want to listen to you...
- Because there's receipts, Laurel!
- Ya yapping. - Laurel, there are receipts!
- You're afraid of me! - No!
You said that you did withdraw! - You're afraid of me.
- You said that when I-- - You're terrified of me.
Every time I walk into a room,
you are absolutely [bleep] terrified.
- Do I seem terrified right now?
- Yeah. - No.
- Yeah, you do. - I'm not scared of you.
- I think you are. - I'm not scared of you.
- I think you are. - You know what?
- And you won't admit it.
And that's why I don't like you.
- Why-- [laughter]
Laurel, Laurel.
You did say... - [laughing] What?
- That you had switched your energy up on me,
so it wasn't in my head, actually,
because it's actually true.
- Did I say that?
- Uh-- - Go, Bananas.
- Johnny? - Yeah, look.
[overlapping chatter]
- I don't remember what exactly was said verbatim.
- You sent me into elimination, so I'm acting this way
because you've messed with my million dollars.
- OK, fair. That's fair enough. Done.
- So, Michele, was there something else more specific
that you thought was an issue between the two of you?
- I talked to Veronica.
Veronica never said that she didn't like me,
but Veronica did say, hey, be careful
how you move around Laurel because she's not feeling--
like, basically giving the energy
that she's not feeling you right now.
- Veronica, is that what you said to Michele?
- I don't really personally remember the conversation.
I will agree with her that I said that to her.
I'm going to stand by what she says I said.
- Jay, you and Jakk were building
a really adorable brotherhood. - Yeah.
- Have you tried to reach out to Jakk
and reconcile at all since the game?
- Oh, yeah. I texted him.
We were going to go to this gym and work out
and then get lunch or whatever. And then--
- Then you said you wanted to bring your camera to hang out,
and I thought that was weird.
You're like, oh, we're going to make Instagram content.
Like, it just was so fake. - No, no, no, no, no.
Hold on. - OK.
- Hold on. - Fake.
- Hold-- - Fake.
- OK, now it's just fake because--
- You are, you are. - I have something to say.
- You wanted to, like, create images...
- I'll let you finish.
- For, like, the internet so the fans thought,
oh, we're all buddy-buddy. - How do I take a--
- It was weird. - OK, can I--
- Do not think that's weird?
- Can I say my point? - Go ahead.
- You're asking me a question. - Go ahead, have your moment.
- OK, thank you. - Go ahead.
- I was offering you, to take pictures of you.
- [laughing] I was offering you?
- Oh, what a--what? - Who are you, Jay?
- Yeah, how nice. - That's true!
- How incredible of you. - Dude--
- How is tan opportun?
- It's not an opportunity.
- Are you some famous photographer?
- Are you guys [bleep] nuts? Like, legitimately.
- Jay, are you a photographer? - What planet do you live on?
- Yes.
- So you were offering to take photos of him?
- Yeah. A photographer, for real.
- Not the kind of vibe you were giving.
- So, Jakk, do you feel like Jay is not genuine?
- No.
- Every single one of my friends
up here knows I'm genuine.
- There's not a genuine bone in your body.
You wanting to create a facade for Instagram, that is fake.
- What facade for--
- That is fake.
- I'm a photographer!
- Jordan, you called Jay and Michele weak
during the interrogation.
What made their decision weak?
- You can make a stand, right?
You don't get to make a deal with half the house
and then worry about whose name you have to say.
You pick three, and those are the people you ride with.
But a weak way to go about it is you go promise the whole
house everything, and then when you get power,
that's when you start feeling guilty,
because you're like, [bleep], I told this person I wouldn't.
[bleep], I told this person I wouldn't.
That ain't how you play.
- I did not make deals with the whole house.
- OK.
- If I could go back, maybe I wouldn't
change anything that I did, but I would own my [bleep].
And I should have just stood tall
and been like, this is my decision,
and not questioned myself, and just done it,
and then dealt with the consequences,
because either way I'm dealing with the consequences, right?
So I might as well have just stood up and been
a more powerful version of myself,
which is what I'm trying to work on, and figure out.
- I love that. - So, like...
- And you will be.
- I'm a work in progress, OK? - All right.
- That was good. - Good luck.
- As we all are. All right.
[applause] - Hear, hear!
- Coming up, Jordan broke his promise
in a backdoor deal gone wrong.
Which Challengers are questioning his integrity?
Find out next.
- You made me personally upset
because I made the deal with you.
So [bleep] trust that I'ma hold up to the deal.
- When was the last time you guys got together?
- Can I pull the dagger? - No.
- Aw. - Sorry.
[laughter] - Oh, my God.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "The Challenge Reunion."
Negotiations require a delicate touch.
Unfortunately, Tori's strategy with Jordan backfired,
sending him over the edge and Faysal into The Zone.
Take a look.
- What I don't want to do is spare Jordan and Devin,
and next week they're on their high horse in power,
and I'm down there, and I'm like,
why the [bleep] did I look out for people that
aren't looking out for me?
- If I have the green light, I will have a convo with him.
He is a man of his word. I do know that about him.
- OK.
- You did me a solid on the last one,
so ain't coming out of my mouth.
- Appreciate that.
- Basically, it's going around that you could
potentially be a swing vote.
And I know that you're going to do whatever's best for you,
and I can't tell you to do anything in this game.
It's your game too.
But I just want you to know how it's
going to make me feel if I feel like I put my neck out
for you, and then all of a sudden--pff--
at the first opportunity.
And that will affect our relationship.
- I've always played this game straight up.
Everybody knows that.
And if there's one thing I do not do,
I do not negotiate with terrorists.
[dramatic music]
So tonight, I have to go back on my word,
and I have to say Fessy's name.
- Pff.
That's so [bleep] up.
Like, why would you even try to blame this on me?
And that's not even what I said to you.
- Don't come up to me and tell me
my decision in this game will affect
our personal relationship. - It literally did!
- Because if that's how it's going to play--
- You did this right now, not me!
Don't blame this on me! - All right.
- Act like a [bleep] man!
- So-- - Apologize now.
- Before-- - No, and mean it.
- I--I do-- I regret making that decision.
However, I don't deny the feelings that came up
when you are telling me
a choice I make in a game of Monopoly
will affect our relationship outside of this.
- It's really simple.
I put my neck out there for you.
- I see your side! - No, no, no.
I'm not done talking.
Just please, please listen.
Just listen.
I'm not even trying--like, dude.
- Just talk!
- I put my neck out there for you.
All I'm saying is why?
If I do that, I'm vouching for you.
It's going to make me feel bad about myself for doing that,
and I felt bad for Fess.
It wasn't cool. And it--
- 100%. - And that--
- I'm not saying it was cool.
I'm not saying it was honorable, not anything.
I was upset.
You made me personally upset
because I made the deal with you,
so [bleep] trust that I'ma hold up to the deal.
But you coming up to me--
- It's just so strange. - Listen to me.
- You can't say trust I'm going to hold up the deal
and then not hold it up and now blame me.
- Listen. - This is weird.
- Listen to me. - No, that's weird.
- I had to listen to you! You listen to me, right?
- OK. - Thank you!
[bleep] A. This is literally--
play the [bleep] game!
It doesn't mean I hate you!
It doesn't mean I hate you because I say your name!
She could have voted me in without telling me,
blindsided me.
I'm still not going to take my friendship off the table
outside the game.
- Got it.
- Bro, I said it was going to affect our relationship!
Dude, I'm not saying we're not going to be friends!
Affecting somebody does not mean I'm not--
I wasn't-- - I asked--
- So it was an interpretation? - I asked you.
- Jordan, come on, dude! - Tori.
- I just wanted you to know it was going to hurt my feelings.
And that's-- - And I'm sorry that I--
listen, listen. - But just, like, don't--
- Listen. Hold on.
I think you're missing something here.
I feel like [bleep] for the decision.
I'm just telling ya why I made it.
Fessy, I am [bleep] sorry.
And to you, I'm even more sorry that I lied.
But I'm telling you why I did it!
I'm not saying you have to accept it!
You need to know why.
I respect and hold my relationship
outside of the game above the [bleep] game,
and you did not in that moment.
I was hurt.
I made a decision out of spite, and I regret it.
You made a good deal. I--
- To protect you. - I didn't uphold it.
- Super weird for someone to make a deal and not uphold it.
- Right? [laughter]
- All right.
Regardless of his conversation with Tori,
did you feel like Jordan was going to hold up?
- Yeah, I did because we kind of had the respect
for each other, if we were going to vote
each other in, to say it.
So when he told me he wasn't going to do it, I--
like, he wouldn't have said that if he
wasn't going to do it.
- If anything, I just shouldn't have put out, like,
such a hard deal in the beginning to protect him,
and I should have just let it play out
the way it was meant to, because then when they would
have said his name eventually,
it wouldn't have come back on me.
- It was my one [bleep]-up, guys. I'm sorry!
[laughter] - All right.
Coming up, who's answering fan questions,
and who's pulling a dagger? Find out next.
- Ah, sheesh.
- How did you guys actually become Ride or Dies?
- OK, so this is how it started. So--
- You are only my friend when it's convenient for you, so--
- Oh! - Damn!
- You swerved winning challenges
to avoid nominating players and getting on anyone's bad side.
Is that true?
- What! - Ooh.
[dramatic music]
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to the Ride or Dies reunion.
The fans have more questions, Challengers.
Remember you can skip any fan question this reunion
if you pull the safe dagger.
Haley wants to know, Faysal, things
have been tense between you and Moriah lately on social media,
but how did you guys actually become Ride or Dies?
- OK, so this is how it started.
So I remember seeing her Instagram,
and I used to shoot her a couple of DMs.
I never got through to her or whatever.
Then I went on Big Brother, got off, got verified.
I sent her a DM. She responded.
[all exclaiming]
A blue check? [overlapping chatter]
- Verified.
- Listen, I had a boyfriend for a long time, man.
I'm loyal.
- Me and Moriah hung out a couple times.
- [bleep] yeah.
- I think she was looking for, like, a boyfriend at the time.
- Now, you're flexing for the camera.
OK, you were my friend.
You hung out with me all the time.
You are only my friend when it's convenient for you.
- Oh, damn!
- Whew! - [bleep].
- What's the next question?
- Moving on, with a 100-hour final...
- Plus.
- There's certainly a lot to discuss tonight.
The hardest, longest final in "Challenge" history
broke spirits, stomachs, friendships, and faces.
- Bodies. - And bodies.
- Check this out.
- This final will be the hardest...
- [bleep] race, Nany.
- I get it, but stop [bleep] yelling at me.
- Longest test... - [groans]
- Of your friendship.
- Ow! - Blue dagger, go.
- OK. - No, just go!
Just go! - I'm over you.
Why are you talking to me like that?
- Blue dagger?
- Pew.
Oh.
[inhales sharply and gasps]
I broke my nose.
- You broke your nose?
- Yep.
- Horacio, you're out.
- I have to finish this. I'm serious.
- Sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
- I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
- It hurts.
- Fistful! Oh, hell ya!
- [retching]
[classical music]
- [laughs]
[dramatic music]
- Oh, God! - Ah!
- Put your arms--take her arm off your back!
- Ow, ow!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! [sobs]
- Oh. [air horn blares]
♪ ♪
- Look at theirs.
- Yeah, they're never going to be able to close the top.
- No, no. - [bleep] way.
- No.
- What the [bleep]?
- You ready for this, Dave? - I'm ready for this, bro!
Woo! - Let's go!
[cheers and applause]
- Woo-hoo! [applause]
- Well, congratulations, Tori and Devin.
- Wow.
- How does it feel to finally be champs?
- Oh, man.
It's been a long time coming, a long time--
seven seasons, seven seasons.
It's just a blessing on top of a blessing.
- Patience and the confidence in each other, I think,
is what brought us to this point.
- Yeah.
- And that trust in your partner, in your Ride or Die,
was crucial this season.
- Yeah.
- Nany, Bananas, do you guys feel
like your bickering cost you the win in the end,
when you think back? - No.
- No? - No.
Honestly--and-- - It didn't help.
However, Johnny and I have been friends for 11 years.
We are truly like brother and sister,
and we will argue, yell, scream,
and then five minutes later, we're laughing.
Like, I do just honestly believe that that's
just how we are together.
- To get to the 97th hour of a 100-hour-long final
and to lose on such just a boneheaded mistake
is the hardest pill to swallow.
As much as she doesn't want to put the onus on me
for things going the way that it did,
I am because instead of me being able to be the one
to help her focus, we just kind of left
each other to our own devices,
and we let the win get away from us.
- Fair.
Not only was this the longest final in "Challenge" history,
it was also the most disgusting.
- Yeah, Nany, you-- - Nany swallowed that!
- You were a savage.
- Woo! [cheers and applause]
- But look, I'll be real with you.
In the past, I have--
I can't eat cow balls, cow intestine,
sheep face, none of that [bleep].
- [laughing] Sheep face.
- But you give me some pasta, some bread,
some ice cream, I'll [bleep] it up.
[laughter] - Got 'em, coach!
- So this final was riddled with injuries.
Aneesa, you rolled your ankle
and blew out your knee against Nany.
What kept you going?
- This was the first time I felt like
I may be able to win this [bleep],
and there were tears coming out of my eyes the last round.
And I tried to go. And I couldn't.
And it was the worst pain of my life.
[sighs] To be that [bleep] close,
and I was willing to just [bleep]
risk everything for it.
It was--I mean, it was awful.
- I think what made it worse was the fact that I had
to go into elimination knowing that
her ankle was messed up, and... - Right.
- You know, her knee had-- was already messed up.
It was hard for me because I love Aneesa.
She's my friend.
I don't want to hurt her physically.
- It was so intense to watch both of you in that moment.
It was really, really hard.
- Exactly.
- So, Olivia, your face injury
was pretty devastating to watch.
- Mm-hmm.
- What exactly happened to your face?
- I'm very lucky because... - Could have been worse.
- They said that if it hit me in the eye,
it would have went straight through my eye to my brain,
and I probably would have died. - Damn.
- [gasps] - Yeah.
So I mean, I guess I'll take a scar.
It's fine.
- I feel like when you came back
that you had said you broke your face in five places.
- Yeah. - Was that what it was?
- Yes.
I broke, like, my skull up here.
I broke behind my optical bone...
- Ooh. - What?
- My nose, and something over here.
I don't remember what it was.
- Horacio, watching you
hearing your fate was heartbreaking.
What was it like when you realized, OK,
this is really, really over?
It's emotional watching it back, I know.
- Aw.
- I mean, I--wow.
Just watching that back is tough.
We worked so hard the entire season.
And to go out that way, it was just so tough.
And I mean, like I said, I was willing to,
like, swim double, run double, carry double.
I was like, let me go.
Let me go, and, I promise, I'm going to catch up.
I'll do something. Let me fight.
We didn't get the win, but I don't think that'll be
the last time you see us. - Yes.
- And we're coming back stronger.
- Yep. - Their attitude about--
every single time their backs was against the wall,
and they just did not complain.
Their attitude was everything, and they just
did what they needed to do.
So that's-- mad props to you guys.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Yeah. - So gracious.
- All right, coming up, more fan questions.
Who's ready to spill, and who's pulling the dagger?
Find out next. - Ooh.
- Woo! [applause]
- I could lay in bed and cry and be sad
and be depressed because I just lost her.
- Having just lost my mom when you lost yours,
I could feel it because I saw my mom doing stuff for me too.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "The Challenge Reunion."
I promised more fan questions.
OK, Theo wants to know, Tori, Devin,
fans had theories that you swerved winning challenges
to avoid nominating players and getting on anyone's bad side.
Is that true?
- Boulder. [laughter]
One.
[sword slicing] - Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh! - Please, God.
- [bleep] you, Theo! [laughter]
- Why are you afraid of an easy question, Devin?
- I'm not answering the question
because I pulled the safe dagger.
[laughter] So moving on.
- OK.
This season was filled with emotional journeys.
Brains and brawn are important, but heart is everything.
After unexpectedly losing her mom--whoa, I'm going to cry.
[bleep], that hurt me.
After unexpectedly losing her mom, Nany--
[shakily] [bleep], I can't say it.
Whoa. - Aw.
- I'm sorry. - I'm actually shaking now.
- Right? - Oh, my God.
I cried with you so much this season.
[laughs]
- I love you, Maria. - [shakily inhales, exhales]
After unexpectedly losing her mom,
Nany returned to "The Challenge"
focused on one goal above all others--
making mama proud.
Take a look.
- This is Guerra.
It's my mom's maiden name.
- Yeah. - It means war.
- Fighter. Oh, OK.
[laughs]
- My life has been kind of flipped upside down recently.
I unexpectedly lost my mother.
I want to do the season for her,
and I want to make her proud.
- She's so proud of you to watch you compete,
so proud of you.
- I just want to say, I love you, Mom,
and I wish you were here.
[solemn music]
- I love you.
- I wanted to do it because I know that my mom
would be so sad if I didn't.
But at the same time, like, I want you to know...
- Yeah.
- That is my motivation to get through this season.
[uplifting music]
[cheering] - Hold on! Come on, Nan!
Come on, Nany!
- Check, check, check!
- Nany, you got it right. Good job.
- Yes! Yes! Yes! - Good job, guys.
- Nany, I feel like you turned over a new leaf.
- Yes. - Aw.
- Not a lot of dry eyes in the room right now, Nany.
[applause]
- Whew.
- Why was it so important for you to compete this season
in your mom's honor?
- [sighs] My mom was born and raised
in the Dominican Republic, and she basically raised herself.
She came to the U.S. with nothing.
So when I say that I am a survivor,
it's because if there is one thing that my mom taught me,
it was that no matter what you go through in life,
no matter what breaks you down,
you always get back up.
And so for me, it was either I could lay in bed and cry
and be sad and be depressed because I just lost her,
or I can get up and get on my feet
and go compete and make her proud.
- You were unbelievable.
I watched, and I was like... - Yeah.
- Her mom is literally, like, coming right through.
- Yes.
- And having just lost my mom when you lost yours,
I could feel it because I saw
my mom doing stuff for me too.
So I watched your mom do it for you too.
And you were making her proud...
- I know. - Every step of the way.
- And I know that. - It was beautiful to watch.
- And I know that. And I'm proud of myself.
You know, win or lose, I got up, and I kept moving.
- Kaycee, what-- we all know Nany's a warrior.
What was it like watching her this season?
How proud were you? - Oh, my gosh.
It was emotionally and mentally
very challenging, you know, because it's like--
I was completely checked out of this season.
I didn't care to socialize or you know, politick
because we had real stuff going on,
and this was my main priority. And--
- That was another thing, too, was I felt guilty
because I felt like
I took Kaycee's experience away from her
because instead of her focusing on the game,
she was focusing on me always.
There were days where I didn't want to get out of bed,
and she would come in, and she would grab me and pick me up,
and we would just go walk around the block.
Like, you've been there for me through so much,
and there's so many reasons why I love this woman.
- I love you, too, babe. - And you know that, like--
- And I know you would do the same for me.
- I would always do the same for you.
You know that. - You know what?
I know your mom's so proud of you.
- I know she is.
And you know, it's been a year and a couple of months now.
And you know, I'm in a much better place than I was.
I am so thankful that I did go on this season
because it made me so much stronger,
and I feel like I left, and I got back into the real world
and I was like, if I can do that on top of losing my mom,
I can do anything. - Yeah.
- Hell yeah.
- 100%. - Bananas, you--
[applause]
You had said your goal, Bananas,
was to help Nany this season.
What was it like being her Ride or Die?
- The fact that she was able to compete
the way that she did this season and to--
you know, that just goes to show, like,
just what an absolute fighter she is
and the amount of, like, strength and determination
that she has.
And, again, I mean, it's like, the apple obviously doesn't
fall far from the tree.
She showed up, and she showed out this season.
I couldn't be more happy to have her as a partner, so--
- And thank you for being there for me, honestly.
- Yeah.
- Like, you were really there, and you really showed up.
And that's something that never goes unnoticed.
Just know that. - Well, you're a warrior.
You did amazing. - Thank you.
- And your mom would definitely be proud, obviously,
as everybody knows that.
Coming up, it's time to address the hotly contested debate,
should outside players be allowed
to help in eliminations?
We decide next.
- No, they shouldn't.
- Anyone feel bad about rooting against Turbo?
- Turbo sucks! - Hell no!
- No! - Next question!
- No. - He stinks.
- It's always important to hear both sides of the story.
- Hey, cheaters.
[cheering, applause]
- Welcome back to the Ride or Dies reunion.
Is outside help during eliminations unfair?
Some Challengers felt the game was ruined
when players started helping their friends
eliminate their enemies.
Take a look.
- Left, left! - Left!
- This one? - Right there!
- Nice!
- We are going good, but all Challenger start
to help Olivia and Horacio.
- A big part of the game is making alliances.
The fact that nobody helped Turbo and Tamara,
it speaks volumes.
- Olivia!
Grab the little one, and bring it all the way back!
Grab the little! - Grab the little one!
Take the little one all the way!
- Go, Horacio! - Back to us, Horacio!
- Come on! Come on! - Shut the [bleep] up!
I can't hear anything but Jordan's
annoying [bleep] voice yelling for Olivia and Horacio.
And you talk about being a player with integrity--
let the players play then.
- Horacio and Olivia win. Good job.
- [bleep] yeah! We did it!
[laughter] Thanks for cheering for us.
Appreciate it. - [bleep], bro.
Fucking cheap [bleep].
I will wreck all of you in this [bleep] game.
- [bleep] scumbags.
- Well, see you later.
- Jordan, do you feel like it's cheating helping a team win?
- Absolutely not. - Why?
- This has been happening since day one.
- Yeah.
- Whether it's a puzzle you're trying to figure out
or whether it's a climbing thing, and you're telling
the person, hey... - The technique.
- Pull this one out and just give me your technique.
- Everybody does it though. - That's all I'm saying.
I've literally been in--
- It's just natural instinct. - Yeah.
- Here's the difference between somebody being like, OK,
here's the strategy of how you climb up verse elimination
that requires communication and literally
dehabilitating one team.
- Been there.
- And I understand, I understand.
But they're two different concepts, right?
- Yeah.
- Giving somebody an opportunity to see something,
that could help both teams.
But if we literally cannot hear each other,
there's no way for us to have any shot whatsoever.
- 100%, there is a way. - So--
- There is a way. You have to figure it out.
- Once you get to an elimination,
everybody, when you're up on stage,
has an equal shot at having the gallery help them. When--
- No one cared when we did it to Turbo!
- No one cared. - No one cared!
- I care. - Nobody cared.
- No one. - I care.
- 'Cause Turbo sucks!
- Anyone feel bad about rooting against Turbo?
- Turbo sucks! - Hell no.
- No! Next question!
- No. - He stinks.
No one wanted him there. - [laughs]
- OK. - Yeah.
- Well, it's always important
to hear both sides of the story.
♪ ♪
Here to give us his version,
please welcome Turbo!
- Ah, [bleep].
- Come on! Bring his bitch ass out here!
- Hey, cheaters. [chuckles]
- I am not a bitch. - Debatable.
- Oh! [all exclaiming]
- Act accordingly because
he does not give a [bleep] about you anymore.
- That sounds accurate!
- I was trying to be a nice guy and lend out my clothes,
