Stay tuned after the episode for the final words
from the eliminated challengers.
♪♪ MTV. ♪♪
HORACIO: Bring your biggest, baddest champs.
-MICHELE: The brain. -NURYS: The brain.
(Michele sighs)
-Oh, my God. -Cara Maria slayer.
(cheering, applause)
JAY: In the last elimination,
Michele beat Cara Maria and saved us $10,000.
♪♪ Came back to me, let's get it, baby. ♪♪
And I'm so thankful because, honestly,
if she left, I was in trouble.
We are so deep in this game right now.
I'm gonna continue targeting Horacio and Kyland.
I don't want them to win this game.
I need to win this game.
I'm here for money.
I know I'm gonna piss Nurys off--
she's aligned with Horacio and Kyland--
but I'm never, ever
gonna jeopardize Nurys's game.
-Oh, my God. -You just beat Cara.
Oh, my God, I beat Cara.
I'm honestly happy
that this happened because it was the kick in the ass
that I needed to put my game into motion.
I'm not here just to bring everybody together.
I'm here to get me further. I'm here to make me win.
And I needed to beat Cara to get in that winner's mindset.
Honestly, she was looking like a cat
-in a dog farm. -(laughs)
ASAF: I'm happy Michele's back in the house.
It's funny, a lot of people think they needed Michele,
but I don't think Michele needs them.
But that's how you know there is a good contender in this game.
BOTH: Ah...
(clock ticking)
♪♪ ♪♪
COLLEEN: Jay and Michele, they are kind of leaders
in the house, and...
I feel like a soldier outside of them.
So for me, it feels like I'm doing the work
for a lot of people, and...
I have to think about my own game.
Keep winning.
Yeah, because if we don't, it's gonna be us
every (bleep) time.
We have to take the chance to change something.
-Yeah. -To mix it up.
-Now we know... -Let me tell you, I told you,
girl, they already all said your name.
You've been a house vote,
and you've been voted in.
-Now I predict only me right now. (laughs) -Yeah.
But the good thing is, we are not alone.
There are some people, their names
came up multiple times,
-so we have to focus on these people. -Mm-hmm.
RAVYN: Me and Colleen are in the same boat.
I was definitely loyal to Jay and Michele,
but I see my position with them
and how they're willing to say my name before anyone else.
Unfortunately, Ravyn, my vote is for you today.
My vote is for you.
You beat Laurel. You can do (bleep) anything.
RAVYN: Honestly, all bets are off at this point.
I am starting to work with
Kyland and Horacio.
I'm starting to work with Nurys
and ZaZa.
That is my new little foundation.
I want to stick by Colleen, but I also know
that she is playing both sides.
-Nothing changed. -I mean, it-it's a lose for them, too,
-'cause, girl, we still here. -We are.
We're still here.
OLIVIA: Horacio came into this game, he was on everyone's top three.
Since this game,
he's on the last list, 'cause he doesn't talk to anyone.
-He's ruining his own game, which... -He's trying.
...by him ruining his own game, it's ruining my game.
BERNA: I think so. He's playing with them...
He plays with whoever does well.
Literally, there are two girls.
(whispers): Nurys, you date her.
-Or ZaZa. Or ZaZa. -Yeah. Yeah.
BERNA: Like, just because you can laugh
a little bit together,
this girl brought you to the final.
Like, wake up.
-You don't have... -Thank you. Okay, I'm like, feel--
I felt this way all day. I was like,
-if he's my number-one guy... -Yeah, and you should...
...how come he's not fighting for me?
I fight for him all the time.
If Horacio doesn't want to have my back
and want to play this game with me,
then maybe I won't play with Horacio at all.
I feel like Jay...
-Yeah, Jay will have my back more than Horacio, I feel. -He does.
Don't fight for the people who are not working with Olivia.
Exactly.
♪♪ ♪♪
I know you don't like to talk, obviously, you like to be quiet
and in... your own little world, your own little bubble,
but it makes it hard for people to want to have your back,
because then they don't know you.
You are so much more than what people know.
I would love it if other people could see you,
I guess, the way I see you.
My feelings for Horacio are clearly,
you know, very strong right now, and I want to protect him,
but everyone finds Horacio to be the biggest threat.
You know, they don't want to see him in a final,
they don't think they can beat him
and they're all kind of scared.
So I don't know what to do right now.
-I am... I'm struggling. -HORACIO: There's no point.
People, no matter how much they like you,
they're still gonna say your name.
I've seen how people move,
and it just makes me not want to... even try.
I love that Nurys is right there with me, helping me,
and I don't care to talk to anybody in the house.
Knowing that more than 90% of the house
is coming after me, Kyland and my people,
I have to come in with a bigger goal
of staying out of the sand,
and that's just by winning challenges.
The few people that are lucky enough
to be your friend now, at least they see you for you.
KYLAND: I'm definitely feeling a little bit disheartened
because my biggest issue would be this environment.
I don't necessarily thrive in, like...
a lot of social situations.
And I thought that I had the friend group
in place to help compensate for that.
And over the last couple
of challenges and eliminations, it's become apparent that...
I really don't have that in place.
So there definitely
is still a target on my back.
♪♪ ♪♪
ED: We're getting pretty damn close to the end here,
and there are a lot of us. 16?
Ain't no way 16 of us are making it to this final.
So I don't know what's about to happen
in these next few days,
but I think (bleep)'s gonna hit the fan.
How's everybody feeling?
-Good. -Real good.
TJ: We started with 24 of you.
We are down to 16.
However, just know, only one of you
will be leaving a Challenge champion.
-All right. -(cheering, applause)
So today's challenge is called Getting Tanked.
-(engine revs) -(cheering)
-(horn honks) -TJ: Just in time.
(whooping)
TJ: And this one is happening on top of
and inside this giant tanker truck.
JAY: Hell yeah.
And you're gonna be playing
in teams of four.
Oh!
TJ: This tank is filled
with liquid and dozens of tiles
with letters on them.
And on the back of that truck is a letter board.
And when I say go, that truck is gonna start
zigzagging all the way down this runway.
Three players are gonna have to get inside that tank
and try and find the letters that you need
to create the phrase "Challenge champion."
You will then hand it to the person up top,
who's gonna be running back and forth, grabbing the letters,
and spelling out"Challenge champion" as fast as they can.
The team to spell out "Challenge champion" the fastest
will win today's challenge and be safe from elimination.
Oh, (bleep), we're going in.
TJ: The four teams have been chosen at random.
(whooping)
Uh, playing in a team, you know,
it's got its ups and downs.
If one team wins, four people are safe,
but that leaves 12 people left for the house vote.
I don't want to be paired up with Horacio or Kyland.
If it comes down to it and I win,
we can make Horacio the main vote
and Kyland can be the house vote.
Your teams are Kyland, Moriah,
Emanuel and Zara.
Michele, Asaf, Colleen, Horacio.
James, Nurys, Jay, and Ravyn.
Why am I still getting partnered with freaking Jay?
At this point, I can't hide my feelings.
He said my name.
He wants to keep Colleen here before me.
There's a lot of tension in our team,
but I'm trying to put that aside.
I think that we are all gonna come together
because we really all just want this win.
Olivia, Ed,
Berna and Corey.
Good luck, everyone. Let's do this.
(cheering, applause)
KYLAND: It's crazy how almost every single house vote
has been nearly unanimous in favor of whatever decision
Michele and Jay want to happen in this house.
And I'm not someone who plays a scared game,
like everyone else.
So, as long as Olivia,
Corey, Ed and Berna don't win,
we can keep myself and Horacio
from being the direct vote.
(horn honks)
I strongly believe it's gonna be a guys' day.
The teams are stacked.
You never know how everyone is gonna vote.
We're all shuffled so crazy, and... got to get the "W."
All right, Kyland, Emanuel, Moriah and Zara, you ready?
-ZARA: Yeah! -MORIAH: Yes.
-Go. -(air horn blows)
EMANUEL: Move.
EMANUEL: Give me something. Anything. Just give it to me.
(tires screeching)
Pass to me. Pass to me.
MORIAH: I! I! I, O, O.
I, O, P.
COREY: No matter what,
Horacio, Zara and Kyland
cannot win today's challenge.
I don't want them to be safe.
I want to make a power move.
They cannot win.
(horn honks)
(tires screeching)
-KYLAND: Yeah. -ZARA: I'm in the tank,
I'm feeling like Finding Dory,
I'm getting hit left, right and center,
I'm taking deep breaths,
but I'm grabbing up chunks of letters at a time.
Emanuel, I have L.
A.
(screams)
(horn honks)
MORIAH: Emanuel, all of these are correct,
a (bleep)ton.
Whoa!
EMANUEL: Keep going, keep going.
MICHELE: I'm realizing that this may be
a little bit harder than it looks.
I know that you have to have speed up top,
you have to have agility, for the person
who's getting the letters, but we don't know
how the contenders are getting the letters from the tank.
KYLAND: Emanuel is the perfect choice
to have on top of this tanker.
He is a professional dancer and has amazing agility
and footwork skills.
So he's gonna be able to balance on a moving vehicle,
I think, better than most people.
-EMANUEL: N and E. -N, N.
EMANUEL: I need E. E, E, E, E.
KYLAND: Come on, you got it.
-Let's get it. Done! -(air horn blows)
Yeah.
-MORIAH: (bleep) yes. -(cheering, applause)
Good job, you guys.
TJ: Horacio, Colleen,
Asaf, Michele, you ready?
-Go. -ASAF: Go.
-I got H. -HORACIO: H? H? Yes. Give it to me.
Colleen, where are you at?
I need more, I need more.
So the win today is extremely important.
Kyland and I are on the outside of everything.
Pretty much every guy in here is going to gun for us.
(tires screeching)
NURYS: You're going too slow!
By this point right here had, like, eight letters.
HORACIO: I need an I, A.
Whoa. Yep.
Let's go!
They are just (bleep) the bed.
They're just making laps back and forth, back and forth.
They're running around
like chickens without heads on right now.
I am shocked because they are stacked.
I need an L. Another L.
-Let's go! -Let's go!
JAY: I don't think Horacio
is gonna win today.
You figure out why.
One could say there's an active plan
to make sure Horacio doesn't win.
HORACIO: Come on. What you got?
What you got? I need more.
He's paired up with three of my alliance members.
HORACIO: Let's go, Asaf, let's go, Asaf.
ASAF: My alliance would like Horacio to lose,
and if that means that I'm on Horacio's team,
then I need to lose.
Sometimes not knowing how to spell
can be an advantage on The Challenge.
-(tires screech) -(horn honks)
NURYS: There we go.
HORACIO: A.
E-N.
You guys are going too slow!
HORACIO: Come on. Come on. Where you at?
Let's go, Horacio!
I need more, I need more.
-(horn honks) -A, E, N.
HORACIO: A, E, N.
E, E, E, E, E!
-Let's go! -Let's go!
COREY: In today's challenge,
three players will be inside the water tank
searching for lettered tiles.
The last player will be on top of the tank,
collecting the letters and spelling out
"Challenge champion."
Whichever team does this the fastest today will win.
The A. Got an A right in front of you.
Let's go, Horacio!
Watching Horacio's team, it's clear as day
that he's being sabotaged.
The only person that you see popping out with their letters
is Colleen, and I'm just wondering,
like, "Hmm, Asaf and Michele,
are you really moving this slow?"
I don't believe it.
What is going on?
(air horn blows)
Horacio, he seems really, really frustrated with us.
Oops.
HORACIO: A, E, N.
That's what I was screaming for.
And that's when we turned here.
-No? -You found one, like, one at a time.
We couldn't find the letters.
Our plan went to trash as soon as we started.
-Pretty much. -Um, you know, we all had a plan of, like,
all right, I'm gonna grab maybe, like, two,
came back, another two.
Um, so, you know, it was just...
-bad luck. -It was a mess.
TJ: James, Jay, Nurys and Ravyn.
-You ready? Go! -(air horn blows)
JAY: Go!
-(tires screech) -(shouts)
(horn honks)
Come on, come on.
M! M!
JAY: I don't need M. C's and H's.

JAMES: Got to be a guys' day today.
We need to win this one, and...
let's be honest, from day one, I've been on the chopping block,

Whoo!
KYLAND: Considering that
Jay is on a team
with James, Nurys and Ravyn,
I'd actually feel pretty good if they won,
because I know Nurys and Ravyn will fight
to keep myself
and Horacio safe.
JAY: Whoo!
(horn honks)
ED: The plan for right now
is to have these three in the tank, myself on top.
I feel 100% confident in this.
My spelling abilities are pretty good.
This is the team to win. That's all I know.
Corey, Berna, Ed, Olivia.
-You ready?! Go. -(air horn blows)
COREY: Go, go, go.
ED: All right, give me
a couple letters. Couple letters. Whatever you got.
What do you got?
-L. M. -L.
L! L! L!
We've already seen a couple teams go,
and they...
kind of killed it.
So, honestly,
there's no room for any mistakes.
Winning a challenge is the only way
you are guaranteed safety.
And the way things are going with alliances,
I'm not really trusting anyone at this point, so I have to win.
ED: I'm breaking the entire phrase down
into a grid. So rather
than having to spell it out each time in my head
and remember
where each letter goes,
I'm giving every letter a number.
So I got each letter in my head, where they need to go.
Oh, he's got a lot already.
I'm really impressed with Ed and Olivia's team.
Ed is just a fiery beast.
He's a threat.
ED: Give me 'em all.
I need more C's and more A's.
Maybe here.

Oh, he's looking good.
KYLAND: Ed, Corey,
Olivia and Berna

are 100% gonna pick myself or Horacio

the perfect opportunity to make a big power move.
We're going for somebody strong today.
TJ: So now
I need you to select...
Oh, God.
...one...
...man to send into the Arena.
KYLAND: I do believe Olivia will fight
for me and Horacio,
but she's only one person.
Both myself and Horacio
have already experienced being outvoted,
and I think that's gonna happen today.
TJ: So why don't you all step aside
and knock that out.
-All right. -Yup. -Mm.
MORIAH: I'm hoping that,
for some reason, people say
Horacio or Kyland's name.
If you guys cop out and say James's name
because it's an easier choice,
I'm against you.
COREY: For me, where I'm at
in my game,
I'm thinking about the final
and who I think would be hard to beat.
You're not gonna like who I want to say, Olivia.
But I want to say Horacio.
For me, if I'm in the final,
there's one man I'm worried about.
-Yeah. -We know it's Horacio.
We know, on the girls, it's Zara. Like, let's
not be stupid and beat around the bush.
OLIVIA: I think they think this is their only opportunity
they have to send him in.
-I mean... -I mean, there's literally no swaying you guys, is there?
It's not swaying me.
He's a strong competitor anyway.
OLIVIA: I'm quickly realizing
that I have absolutely no voice.
But, at the same time, Horacio doesn't really listen
to anyone when it comes
to this game, let alone myself.
Why should I stop them?
TJ: All right. Ed,
can you please tell me who you've chosen?
Horacio.
Horacio, I'm so sorry.
-What happened? -COREY: We're getting close
to the final,
and I'm focused on that right now.
I think Horacio is literally one of the best men
to ever be on The Challenge in the last couple of seasons,
and I think he can go in and beat a champ.
But to be honest, if he doesn't,
then I don't have him in the final with me.
HORACIO: Even though my name is said
and they are trying to get me out,
I have to take the positives,
and the positives were the things that they said
about me and also knowing that,
whatever comes my way,
-I can handle it. -So he's saying he's scared.
-I'm scared? -I'd just like to make it clear.
I literally just did the bravest thing in this (bleep) house.
-You just said... -Yo, it was the bravest (bleep) ever.
You just said why. You literally just said why.
COREY: I said I don't want to see him in the final with me
'cause he's very (bleep) good,
-Kyland. -That's what I'm talking about.
-COREY: No. -It's a scared move.
COREY: That is not a scared (bleep) move.
-Like, what the (bleep)? -Relax. Relax.
COREY: I'm not (bleep) afraid to make moves.
Kyland is mad
that I am shooting at his number one ally.
But at the end of the day,
I am the first person to go out on a limb.
And, honestly, it's about time that we play this game.
-Horacio, what do you think? -Honestly,
after today's performance, I deserve to go down.
So let's get it done.
TJ: There it is. Now,
I need the rest of you to head back to the house,
deliberate and nominate one man to send into the Arena as well.
-Everybody got it? -OTHERS: Yes.
I'll see you in the Arena. Get out of here.
(applause)
I'm pissed it's Horacio's name.
I'm mad at the people that I'm working with.
I feel like I can't trust many people.
And I feel like not many people
even give a (bleep) about me. Because if they cared about me,
they wouldn't be saying
Horacio's name.
The boys are just scared.
RAVYN: Congrats on your first win.
-(cheering) -Good job, Olivia!
-You got the win. You can be proud. -(whooping)
-Whoo! -Ay, ay, ay.
-(chuckles) -HORACIO: There's absolutely
no doubt in my mind that the house
is gonna try to vote in Kyland.
We're not afraid.
The only way to be a champion is to beat a champion.
And there is only gonna be one champion.
I'm looking for that title.
So I got to trust what I'm doing.
COREY: What the (bleep) are you guys doing
-for the house vote? -Shh.
We're all gonna throw in...
-James. What, are you nuts? -(laughs) I know.
JAY: Like, what do you think?
It worked perfectly.
COREY: It worked perfectly. Yeah.
-COREY: Okay, good. -MORIAH: Yeah.
I'm gonna tell you the numbers, though. It's...
me,
Michele,
Emanuel, Jay, James.
That's five. How many other votes are there?
-EMANUEL: Asaf. -Asaf. Six. -JAY: Berna.
-Berna can't vote. She won. -Berna can't vote. That's what I'm saying.
-COREY: Oh, Colleen would do it. -Yeah?
-Okay, so Colleen. -That's...
-that's seven, then. -Okay.
COREY: Who is Kyland pushing towards?
-Who does he want? -JAY: I mean, it'd be me or...
That's my thought. Which-- That's not gonna happen.
Yeah. I mean, that's obvious.
They're coming for us. We-we got 'em first.
In my alliance,
the leaders right now are Michele and I.
But at the same time,
I don't think she wants to make
any moves, and I'm kind of bored.
So why don't we just shoot for some big shots?
And I might piss off Nurys.
But at the end of the day, I've always got
her back. So...
if I eliminate some guy that she loves,
well, then I eliminate some guy that she loves.
Whatever. (laughs)
-Someone had to take a shot. -Right.
You unfortunately won. I would have done it.
COREY: Don't get me wrong-- I'm glad I'm the one making the shot.
I see Nurys all the time talking
to Kyland more than ever.
Slowly, we can see the cracks,
and, um, I'm here for it.
This makes the game more interesting, and...
I'm done with the boring stuff.
We're still 16,
and I hate it.
It's time to make big moves.
♪♪ ♪♪
For me, it's important that I know where I stand with you.
-I still want to with you. -Mm-hmm.
-With all the people. -Mm-hmm.
But not if I know that I'm on the bottom of the list.
How you vote can allow me to give them more
and be like, "Do you guys not understand that she's with you?"
Do you know what I mean?
But they know I'm with you.
They-- I'm just on the bottom of their list.
Well, I'm not gonna call you over Ravyn.
You know that.
COLLEEN: Well, just in case if she wins?
-Then... -Then it's me again.
I'm just got my arms shackled right now,
because I'm working with so many people.
I came in with a pretty hefty alliance.
I can't promise her anything.
If Ravyn's safe, I'm gonna have
to vote for you. Pretty ruthless
but, like, at least it's the truth.
It doesn't matter how I vote.
It will not change my position
for the girls' night, right?
I came into the game
without friends, so, for me,
it was so important to act under the radar and build up trust.
But now I think Jay, Michele,
they don't care about the people on the outside.
You are not able to protect me.
Because you say, like, "Okay,
I have four more girls." -So who can...
so who can protect you here?
Jay is saying that...
he cannot protect me and I'm on the bottom
of his list. So,
what do you expect for me to do?
Now is the point to switch the game.
I woke up this morning,
and I realized
that I've been a pawn.
Nothing that I said
ever was given a (bleep) about.
Like, they threw in Kyland multiple times.
And now it's you.
And I'm not gonna let it slide.
Because my alliance threw in Horacio,
I'm kind of questioning, like, what I should
be doing. I know
for a fact that Horacio and Kyland have me
and are protecting me wholeheartedly
and that they're not liars.
So it's very hard. And...
it just shows that loyalty doesn't really mean much
to certain people in this house.
I'm not a pawn. I truly believe
I'm a better competitor than Michele.
All of them.
And they're doing so well this time around
because they have so many numbers.
But if it was the past, they would've already been sent home.
-I definitely also want to talk to Olivia. -Yeah.
OLIVIA: I'm trying to help him
as much as I can,
and just because we're ride-or-dies,
I have this allegiance to you, and I want to.
But you're making it so hard for me.
JAY: You're the only reason
that he lasts as long as he did
in both of the seasons that you both played.
You don't have a conversation with this guy.
He doesn't talk to nobody, he doesn't give a (bleep)
about anyone, he's only here to compete.
I don't trust this kid
for anything on the (bleep) planet.
I'm feeling very insecure about where
me and Horacio stand in this game
and, honestly, just in our friendship.
Jay is just kind of coming at me,
saying, "He doesn't give a (bleep) about you, Olivia.
"He never hangs out with you.
When are you gonna realize that he's not a good friend?"
Obviously, I'm weak right now, so I'm...
getting more and more hurt by this conversation.
You have actual friends in here that care about you
and want you to get to the final.
And I'm gonna fight so (bleep) hard
to just make sure that my people are there.
I'm doing my best to protect her,
and if Horacio can't do that for her, well, then,
come to my side because we're gonna throw down Horacio
whether you like it or not.
And that's just the game that we're playing.
He's a beast, and he's got to go home.
OLIVIA: He hasn't even left Nurys's spot.
-Should we call her over here? -Yeah, where is she?
-My presence was requested. -Welcome to...
-I'm kidding. (laughs) -OLIVIA: Everyone is basically
coming up to me and basically solidifying that my reasons
of being upset about how Horacio and me
have played this game together are valid.
What are people saying to you guys?
OLIVIA: There's a difference between being
a little distant and literally not at all.
-You need to ride with people hard in this game. -NURYS: Girl,
-he's riding with you no matter (bleep) what. -No...
How many wins does that man have? Four.
He has had power more than you, you and you.
If your name was ever brought up, even slightly questioned,
he would shut that (bleep) down 1,000%.
-JAY: That doesn't mean (bleep). -No, but it does. But it does.
No, it doesn't because the alliance that
you're standing in is the one that decides.
-He's been outvoted every single time. -And I'm gonna sit here
-and I'm gonna say it does. -Why are you yelling at me?
-Because at the end of the day... -I'm not gonna yell at you.
Because you question him so much, and I'm telling--
-Okay, that's fine... -I'm not gonna yell at you.
-I'll get up. -This is where I say-- Okay, get up.
I'm very disappointed in Jay
and the way that he's playing this game.
And the thing is that I love Jay.
Me and Jay have been friends for five years,
so seeing how snaky he's been
and how he really doesn't care
is just so eye-opening.
MICHELE: He's not even the one that brought up this conversation,
-and you're bringing it on him? -I'm not.
Guys, this is why I don't talk about my feelings ever,
to be honest with you, because this is what (bleep) happens.
Okay?
I want to have a conversation that's logical
and (bleep) normal
and then we don't need to do this (bleep) thing.
-NURYS: Okay, so, the same thing. -JAY: I said stop yelling.
JAY: Olivia and Nurys,
Horacio does not support either of your games.
I mean, at this point, who does Horacio even talk to?
You can't talk to your ride-or-die.
You don't even talk to the girl that you're flirting with.
I don't understand why you keep protecting him.
I have to get the wolf out of this game,
and you two are making it
so difficult for me.
Olivia. Olivia.
-Let me talk to you. -No, that is not.
That's not what I'm yelling at you about at all.
-Let me talk to you now. -This has nothing to do
-with either me or Jay. -I literally did nothing.
I know that Nurys is defending me
with everything she can,
and I know Olivia's doing the same.
There's no need for that.
I don't want my girls
to put a target on their back trying to defend me.
That's the last thing I want.
Everyone has literally told me today...
-He's like, I have defended you every... -Do you believe 'em?
I have defended you every single conversation.
Okay, and you should... I mean, I'm not telling you
-to defend me, but you should not, you should... -I am defending you,
-but I feel sad about it. -You shouldn't trust them.
Simple as that.
I do think that Olivia couldn't do anything
with the vote her team decided to do,
and I don't blame her at all.
I know that I'm gonna have to talk a lot more to Olivia,
let her know, "Hey, I'm-I'm still with you,
"I trust you, and you have to believe
that I'll do anything to protect you."
I am who I am.
I'm quiet, and I don't talk much.
You should never doubt that I've got you.
And I thought they wouldn't doubt me,
but they do-- they do now, so...
And it's, like, pretty much, what, over now.
OLIVIA: It does feel good to get
that verbal reassurance, but...
I just don't know if it's enough.
On one hand, okay, finally, like,
he's communicating with me, he's hearing me,
but on the other hand, I still think
he's trying to play this game alone,
and that's just not gonna work.
There's no going back now, unfortunately.

COLLEEN: Honestly,

ZARA: Exactly.
KYLAND: It's like,
we have me, ZaZa,
Horacio, Nurys,
James and Ravyn that aren't saying me.
So, like, I have six that aren't saying my name, so...
Mm-hmm.
KYLAND: I think this vote
is the first time we have the possibility
of the outcome not being exactly
what Jay and/or Michele want it to be.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
And Emanuel-- I have to talk with him.
KYLAND: Mm-hmm. But...
want to take the high shot?
If we can pull off
getting Jay sent in as the house vote,
I think it will show some serious cracks
in the central power dynamic that is Jay and Michele
in this house.
ZARA: Yeah.
I made my hands dirty for him the whole time.
ZARA: Yeah.
COLLEEN: I'm ready for a big move.
If I don't separate Jay, Michele,
Nurys and Olivia from each other,
there will be no place for me in the final.
ZARA: I'm gonna speak to the others
just to, like, make sure we have the numbers.
JAMES: Um, I don't politick.
I've left it to Moriah.
Well, obviously, I am with you.
Yeah, I'm with you, too, but also, okay,
just sit down and listen for two seconds.
Like, I'm not even speaking to Moriah about this
because I don't want her to be in an awkward situation.
But at the end of the day, it's their alliance and our alliance.
She's a pawn in someone else's game.
-Yeah. -And now
we have a chance to do something about it.
I don't know whether it's the right move or not.
Moriah's with Jay and Michele,
but I know I'm not at the top of their lists,
so it's only a matter of time
before I could potentially get the chop.
Look, just-- I ain't gonna say nothing.
Yeah, I promise you, yeah, on my life.
I'll just keep this between us.
-Yeah. -ZARA: This move against Jay
can definitely work.
Although James says he wants to be a part
of this alliance and stay together because he's at
the bottom of the barrel on the U.S. alliance side,
he's probably gonna have to check with his boss first.
Moriah.
JAMES: I just don't want it to be flipped onto me again.
-No. -Do you know what I'm saying?
-I know, but that's why you don't tell anyone about this. -Yeah.
I haven't had any conversations today.
I think that alliances are going to shift.
Yeah.
MICHELE: Like, Kyland is just not...
-He... -He's too shifty, but I don't trust that dude at all.
(door opens)
-JAY: To get me? -Yeah.
He doesn't, but that's what he just...
James told me.
So, this is a numbers game, and I know
that revealing this information to Jay
will help James in the long run.
I want James safe for the next one,
and I need to build trust between the guys and James.
He's like, "I'm pissed."
It's gonna be fine. Let's not stress about it.
JAY: I have a smile on my face right now,
but it's like, "Yeah."
MICHELE: The more frantic that we get,
the more chaotic that it's gonna get.
I love this (bleep).
This is perfect.
This couldn't have been a better message.
I'm gonna piss him off all day.
I'm so excited.
Yes, the game has started, and now it's time to play.
Whoo!
We're going to elimination tonight!
(shouts)
JAY (distant): We're going to elimination tonight!
(echoes): ...tonight!
I heard my name came from you, I heard my name came from you.
-Nope. -I've heard them.
Kyland, don't talk to me like I'm a (bleep) idiot.
KYLAND: Bro, relax.
JAY: Oh, I don't need to relax.
I'm not like the other boys where you're gonna tell me
what to do, and I'm scared.
I don't give a flying (bleep), Kyland.
I love this (bleep).
This is why we're playing now. I'm stoked.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm-I'm excited.
KYLAND: I'm not surprised Jay has heard
that he's the other name being considered,
but I'm not loving
the way he's coming at me about it right now.
My guy, this is the game that we're playing,
don't throw a fit about it.
RAVYN: I think, at this point,
people are running other people's game,
and, yes, Jay, it has been circling back to you.
I ended up feeling a type of way about everything
when I got back from my third elimination now,
and I don't personally feel safe
when I'm playing the game with you, and I hate
that it's got to that because I have trusted you
from the beginning, and, like, I got to ride with people
that are not trying to get me out.
I know Jay
will be upset, but I got to do what's best for me.
He said my name, I'm willing to say his.
I'm working with Kyland now.
Jay has been safe this whole game.
It's about time that at least his name is considered.
And, yeah, I see him shaking in his boots.
I mean, I think it's about time we all just start
-playing the game and voting... -JAY: That's what I want.
...for who we really want to (bleep) vote for.
ZARA: This is gonna be the best day ever.
JAY: It's The Challenge. This is the reason I'm here.
(whoops) I don't even need pre-workout today.
-What an asshole, though. -(chuckles)
Jay has got this mad dog look in his eyes. (growls)
I've never seen Jay look like this.
He's profusely sweating, and he's spiraling.
JAY: Time for the show!
"Ed, you have no vote today, but I would say vote for Jay."
ZARA: He's saying he's okay, but I think he needs to chill,
-to be honest. -MICHELE: What just happened?
ZARA: Nothing bad, I think they came...
There's, uh, a lot of people running for president.
MICHELE: Jay is acting like this is all fun and games,
all a joke, and a lot of people
are starting to realize that their position
in our alliance is a little bit lower than they may like.
And Kyland is persuasive.
He might just take those people like Colleen
and sway them over to his side,
easily giving his side a majority.
So I'm gonna make sure that my numbers are tight
to make sure that it doesn't fall on Jay.

COLLEEN: Corey and I, we have something in common.
We are not the favorite people for a lot of contenders.
So he can understand my position.
COREY: Even though you're not at the top of anyone's list,
you already know Ravyn and Zara are below you.
So if anyone here wins girls' day
that's in the main alliance, they're gonna target them...
-Right. -...which keeps you safe for a little while longer.
COREY: Colleen does not have the protection

I would completely understand why she would go against us.
Selfishly, I want to keep Colleen in the alliance.
The alliance being
bigger and larger is more helpful for me.

You and Kyland were the only two people

After today's decision, depending on what I do
is gonna (bleep) me regardless, so...
It's been a (bleep) feeling to feel like
the only people in our alliance that I thought
were a part of my alliance, you guys, want out.
Why is it that my two guys that I want can't be safe?
You don't care to protect them in any way, shape or form.
You have everybody else in this house,
including James, higher than them.
And they are just thrown to (bleep),

Dude, we're so close.

My three guys are you, Horacio and Kyland.

Everything I've done has made sure and guaranteed
that you are safe, and every dude in here
will not go against me and vote (bleep) you

NURYS: I really don't know if Jay
is protecting me as much as he's saying he does.
And I don't know, I feel like I could be next

I want to be loyal to him.
Kyland and Horacio are promising you they're number ones
and whatever, yeah, they win daily challenges,
but they have no voice.
There is no voice.
The only voice that actually has a pull is ours.
I know I've pissed Nurys off in this game,
but we are friends in the real world.
I am looking out for her, it's the Fantastic Four,

Well, congratulations to Ed, Corey, Berna and Olivia.
You absolutely killed it at the challenge. Well done.
-ED: Thank you, Teej. -(cheering, applause)
So, not only did you kill it at the challenge,
but that made you safe from elimination
and you had to select one man to send into the Arena.
You did that, and you chose Horacio.
I know why you're down here,
but Kyland, what's going on, man?
Well, I think you told them how smart it is
to get rid of all their threats for the final,
and they took that to heart.
But I plan on winning the money at the end, so...
if I have to protect it myself, that's what I'm here to do.
All right, well, here's the deal.
Tonight's champion that I'm bringing out is no joke.
JAY: Every time it's a guys' day and I'm not safe,
I'm like, "Please don't be a person that doesn't like me.
"Please don't let it be Johnny Bananas,
please don't let it be CT."
But if Chaos does get pulled,
whoever picks me, you're in for a run for your money,
because honestly, I'm not gonna let the 10K go,
and I'm not letting go of my game.
TJ: This dude is serious.
He has a very solid legacy.
So come on out!
(all shouting)
Whoo!
Come on out!
-(applause) -Who is it?
JAY: Whoa! Whoa!
TJ: This is Brad.
KYLAND: As a fan and student of The Challenge,
I know that Brad is an absolute legend.
He's a beast, he's strong, he's fast.
He's a pretty well-rounded competitor,
and has come out in the top
of even the most recent All Stars. So...
I'm pretty sure he came to play.
How we doing, guys?
TJ: So, Brad is a 12-time
challenger.
Five finals, and first place in one of those finals.
-So this is what it feels like. -All right!
(whooping, applause)
TJ: So, Brad, how you feeling?
I feel good. It's a blessing to be here.
I love this game with every fiber of my being.
So honestly, it's just such an incredible vibe
and just blessing to be in this Arena with you.
There you go, man. That's exactly right.
Well, here's the deal.
I will give you $10,000
if you send one of them packing tonight.
However, we've had some pretty solid victories as of late,
and we haven't lost any more money out of that prize pot
in a long time.
Now, this is the Draw.
Horacio's name is on one of these poles,
Kyland's name is on one of them,
and the third one is a Chaos Club.
You pull out the Chaos Club,
and you can choose anybody you want
except for the winners.
HORACIO: I want to go in, and it looks like
it's gonna be physical, I think it's just
a perfect opportunity to really prove yourself.
I-I just hope that my name is pulled.
Brad, go ahead, draw.
JAY: I hope Brad chooses Kyland.
Brad's a force to be reckoned with
and Kyland is a force to be reckoned with.
And I think, even though everyone's eyes
are on Horacio,
Kyland, he's the guy that we need to get out.
(whooping)
ED: Who is it? Kyland. Damn.
(applause)
-Oh, damn. -Good luck, man.
TJ: Horacio, you're off the hook.
-You're absolutely a legend. -TJ: Get out of here.
NURYS: I'm just so happy
that it's not Horacio down there.
I'm glad that he gets to come back in here,
and keep killing it by my side.
Sucks that it's Kyland down there,
but I know he's gonna protect our money
and I know he's gonna come back into this house.
TJ: Brad, Kyland, tonight you are playing
What's Going Down.
As you can see, there are two five-story towers
right here in the middle of the Arena.
Each tower has a chute down the side of it
and ten balls at the bottom.
When I say go, your goal tonight
is to slide the planks,
that make up the floors, out of the way,
drop down, continue this process till you get to the bottom.
When you get to the bottom, bring all ten balls up
and place them in the chute in order, one through ten.
First person to get it done
will win tonight's elimination,
and stay in the game and save $10,000
in your final prize pot
or take home $10,000,
and send them packing.
Good luck to both of you.
-Thank you, Teej. -Let's do it.
-Good luck, man. -Absolutely. You as well.
BRAD: One night, $10,000 on the line.
That's a really good day's pay.
So, I mean, honestly,
I'm gonna fight with everything I have
because I would love to go home with an extra $10,000.
Nothing would make me more happy right now.
My endurance has been better in the past.
I haven't been working out as much as I used to.
However, I do feel like I have the endurance to pull this off.
I'm a good climber, and if there was any challenge
to show up light to, this would be the one.
So the universe is working in my favor right now.
I do think Kyland's gonna bring it,
and I plan to do the same
and pull off the W tonight.
KYLAND: I know that I'm not gonna have an easy road to get this win.
I have seen Brad compete. I know he's a beast.
Just so much respect for him as a champion.
My birthday is today, so I'm gonna do
what needs to be done, and I can't leave my people
inside this game alone.
I got to make sure that I come back
and get the job done.
Gentlemen, ready?
HORACIO: I need Kyland to come back into this house.
If he were to go home,
numbers are only gonna die down, I'm gonna keep going down,
back in again and again into elimination.
And I know Kyland's someone that can win challenges,
so he could keep me safe.

COREY: Go, go, go, go, go.
-MICHELE: Well done, Brad. -Yeah, that's my friend.
Gentlemen, ready?

HORACIO: Perfect. Hey.
Make it big enough. Make it big enough.
NURYS: Yeah, that's my friend.
Yeah!
-Make it big enough, Kyland. -NURYS: Make it fast.
COREY: As Kyland is jumping down,
he's moving each piece of wood
two by two instead of one by one.
This is exactly why I want Kyland out of the game.
Kyland is extremely smart, he can analyze any challenge
or any elimination
and figure out the best strategy.
His strategy today is miles ahead of what Brad is doing.
JAY: Oh, they're light.
HORACIO: You're gone. You're gone, brother. You're gone.
BRAD: This game's been a large part of my life,
and I love this game with every fiber of my being.
So I want this win
probably more than the money.
But that ten grand does sound nice.
HORACIO: Absolutely gone.
-Let's go, let's go. -Go, go. Go, go, go.
HORACIO: There you go, there you go.
Damn, Kyland's whupping his ass already.
-HORACIO: Go, go, go, go. -BRAD: Damn, my shoe.
BRAD: Efficiency
in these eliminations is everything.
"What else can I do to make up a second at any point?"
and I'm moving as fast as I can,
and all I keep thinking is,
"Don't look over, stay focused, and just go."
HORACIO: There you go, there you go. Nine.
-Hey, grab another one. -NURYS: Yeah, Kyland.
MORIAH: I'm hoping that Brad
gives his all because Kyland
already beat Darrell.
So if he beats a second champion,
I'm even more scared of Kyland
because that means he's a freakin' slayer.
So that's just not someone I want to see in the final.
ZARA: Let's go, let's go.
HORACIO: There you go, there you go.
ZARA: Well done, Brad.
HORACIO: Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, you're killing it, bro.
NURYS: Keep it up, keep it up.
TJ: Good job, Brad.
-ZARA: Yeah. -HORACIO: Let's go.
-Let's go. Down, down, down. -Let's go, let's go.
-ZARA: Yeah, go, go, go. -NURYS: There you go.
ED: I don't know how much pre-workout
Kyland took before this, but he's moving
at 100 miles an hour.
I think he went way too fast out of the hole.
He might gas out,
and it's gonna throw him off.
NURYS: You're so fast.
TJ: Come on, Brad, you got it. Let's go.
HORACIO: Gone.
NURYS: Yeah. Yeah.
TJ: There you go, Brad. Let's go, let's go. Come on down.
He's not moving.
BRAD: I know I need to pick it up,
but I don't have any quit in me.
I will push it until there's nothing left
and then I'll keep pushing it when there is nothing left.
Let's go.
Easy money, easy money.
-Yeah. -HORACIO: And we're gone.
TJ: Well done, Kyland. Well done.
(panting)
-RAVYN: Good job, Brad. -KYLAND: I cannot go home tonight.
Lines were drawn
with me and Horacio working together.
You're gone, brother. You're gone.
I cannot leave him
or any of the people who were willing
to ride with me alone.
It's more important than ever
that I get this win and stay in the game.

-NURYS: Keep going. Keep going. -Sprint down. Sprint down.
Speed it up. Speed it up, bro. Why not? Speed it up.
Good (bleep), Brad. Keep it going.
Brad is an extremely physical guy.
I think he's just getting too methodical.
But at the same time, it's like,
you only need to bring one ball up
at a time. I need Brad to win this.
Come on, bro.

MICHELE: Seeing how Kyland's been competing,
I do not want to see this man in a final.
Kyland is the epitome of well-rounded.
Hello. Let's not forget the guy in this corner
because he's badass.

HORACIO: Finish strong, brother.
Finish strong.
(whooping)
NURYS: Need that win.
Yeah! One more!
HORACIO: There you go. Yes, sir.
We're going, we're going.
You're competing against yourself. Let's go.
This one's for you, Jay.
-Yeah, buddy. -Yeah!
-(air horn blows) -(cheering)
HORACIO: Yes, sir. Good job, Kyland.
-That's how you do it. -Yeah!
KYLAND: To win an elimination
against a champion on my birthday
really makes this the best day ever.
I feel like that added a little bit
of fear into these guys, and they know
they don't want to see me in an elimination,
they know they don't want to see me in a final.
That could still make me a target,
but I think they know that my odds
of being able to take a shot back at any of them
are higher than ever.
Well, that was a great battle, but Kyland,
-well done. -Thank you.
-Happy birthday, too. -Thank you.
Great job, too.
Brad, you ran into a beast,
and unfortunately, you don't get the ten grand tonight,
but I really appreciate you coming.
And do you have any words of wisdom for our contenders?
Keep your heart in the game, just go till the very end
'cause you never know what's gonna happen.
Some of my best moments come from that type of effort,
but that's probably the number one thing in my mind.
TJ: Well, Brad, thank you
so much for being here.
-I really appreciate you coming. -Thank you.
-Appreciate it. -Take care of yourself, man.
-Have a good one. -One love, man. Yeah.
BRAD: Kyland, good job, man.
-Thank you, I appreciate it. -Happy birthday.
-Safe travels. -Thank you. Bye, guys.
I think that Kyland earned tonight's win.
I don't feel like I made a major mistake.
I don't feel like I lost to somebody
that I should have beaten.
I feel like he truly earned it, and for that,
I can go home knowing I did my best
and knowing I need to come back better for the next one.
After competing against him,
he does seem like a pretty big threat.
I do think he has the potential to win this season
and possibly multiple seasons after this.
-Kyland... -(Kyland chuckles)
...that was sick.
You smoked a Challenge champion like nothing.
That was awesome.
Well done. You just saved yourself and everyone else
10,000 more dollars out of that final prize pot.
-Yes, sir. -JAY: Thank you, buddy.
TJ: That final is right around the corner,
so it's time to start thinking about winning.
I'll see you all real soon. Get out of here.
-(applause) -Good job, Kyland.
I'm gonna continue targeting Horacio and Kyland
because I don't want them to win this game.
I'm not here for friendship, I'm here to win.
I'm frustrated at this point,
trying to get rid of these guys, and it's just not working.
How many shots do I need to take before they go down?
Congratulations, brother. Well done.
-Thank you. -Well done.
Happy birthday, dawg.
-That's two champs now. -(laughs)
-You got me. -(Kyland laughs)
I didn't really know exactly what to expect
when I pulled Kyland's name,
but I'm gonna tell you that I got a lot more respect
for that man than I did walking into this.
HORACIO: Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, you're killing it, bro.
(Kyland grunts)
Damn, Kyland's whupping his ass already.
I thought I was moving pretty quick.
I didn't even look over
until about the halfway point, and when I did and I saw
how far he was ahead, I have so many questions
-on how he even did that. -We're going, we're going.
Whoo!
This one's for you, Jay.
-Yeah, buddy. -Yeah!
(air horn blows)
BRAD: I think that Kyland earned tonight's win.
I don't feel like I made a major mistake.
I don't feel like I lost to somebody
that I should have beaten.
I feel like he truly earned it.
After competing against him,
he does seem like a pretty big threat.
I do think he has the potential to win this season
and possibly multiple seasons after this.
But the group seems like a bunch of great people.
I hope to play a full season with them someday
and, uh, hopefully get the "W" next time.
I know I can go home knowing I did my best,
knowing I have things to work on,
and knowing I need to come back better for the next one.
-TJ: Today is a mini-final. -EMANUEL: Let's go!
TJ: If I was you, I'd start focusing...
(grunts)
...on the future.
Let things about this logically.
KYLAND: I am excited to watch the cracks this caused.
TJ: There's a beast
-waiting to destroy you. -(cheering)
(TJ cackles)
