Stay tuned after the episode for the final words
from the eliminated challengers.
♪♪ MTV. ♪♪
(laughter)
Yeah.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
-HORACIO: Heck, yeah. -NURYS: Yeah.
KYLAND: Getting to beat another champion puts me
in another level.
This one's for you, Jay.
JAY: Yeah, buddy.
(air horn blows)
KYLAND: Our final prize pot is
at $366,000.
At the end of the day, there's one winner.
I want to make it to the final
and win this money.
-Yeah. -(chanting): Chug, chug, chug...
COLLEEN: I'm in a good position right now
because I builded up trust to Kyland, ZaZa, Ravyn.
They thought I'm counting numbers for Jay,
but I just decided not to go against him
because we had not the majority.
And on the other side,
Jay's thinking I'm still working with him
because I said Kyland's name.
So Molleen activated.
JAMES: Smashed it, luv.
-You deserved it today. -KYLAND: Thank you, brother.
You've slayed now like you're the champion slayer.
Problem is, we got another challenge tomorrow.
But, I mean, anything we've seen time and time again,
everything can change in a day.
JAMES: I'm always on the radar.
I'm never getting comfortable within this house.
Moriah is the main one for me that's protected me.
-Who's the name you will not say? -James.
Don't say him as well.
There's other options to not take away someone's number one
in your alliance.
Please don't take mine away.
If she goes,
then my alliance is non-existent.
Like, you had, you...
-elimination straight to the win. -Yeah.
-No reason I can't do the same. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-We're getting it done. -We're getting it done.
Yeah. No, but I really, truly, I love this game.
I wish I was like you and Michele.
I used to play like that, and then Michele would...
when Ride or Die, she'd be like "Stop. Stop. Calm down."
We didn't get here so we can win eliminations.
We got here so we can get to the final
and win the final. Do you have $300,000?
No, because if I had, I wouldn't be here.
Exactly. But right now,
we're just businessmen trying to make some business.
Mm.
ASAF: I'm feeling great because I can do
whatever I want in this game.
Everyone else is stressed out, but I'm the master of ceremony.
Basically, both sides are doing what I want them to do.
When we make it to the final, that means we played everybody.
I mean, I don't think there was a move like that ever.
-We deserve... -An Emmy.
...Emmy. Emmy.
(laughs)
NURYS: I wish it would have been a little different,
and I apologize.
I was just put in, like...
-I guess I think everybody-- -They put you in that situation.
Yeah. Yeah.
And they were trying to tell me
that it was because of you,
because you shot at Jay.
I said, Jay has been shooting
at Kyland this entire time,
so it was payback.
You were always gonna be the house vote.
They always were gonna make you the house vote
no matter what.
Well, now we know we can stay on the same page
and let's get it done.
Winning is the only way I can secure my safety.
I can't always secure my friend's safety when I win,
but that's all we can really reach for at this moment.
MORIAH: I don't know what our new plan is gonna be
'cause now Kyland didn't go home.
Horacio didn't go home.
JAY; Wrong time?
We're just talking about this night.
-MORIAH: Yeah. And what, what we're gonna do tomorrow. -JAY: And how we failed?
-How we failed miserably? -MORIAH: It was a shot missed.
JAY: They tried to shoot for me and they missed.
And then they both still ended up down.
MORIAH: Yes. Now it's tempting.
He won, so just got to do it again.
EMANUEL: Throughout this whole game,
I tried not to show my abilities too much.
I'm not here for the attention and popularity.
Horacio already got that.
So my strategy so far in this game
has been stay true to my alliance,
keep a low-key profile, not get a target on my back.
And it's working.
All the names that we've been saying,
because they're not going home,
-they're just gathering... -MORIAH: Numbers.
...animosity and numbers.
We just came off two female eliminations,
and I have to win today.
I think there is another
male champ on the way,
and I don't want to be down in the sand.
Thank God Colleen stayed with us, but...
-MORIAH: I know. -MICHELE: ...at this point,
Colleen could easily go over there
and then it's seven-seven.
If Olivia and Nurys, they were on this side,
but they feel closer with people on that side...
-MORIAH: Yeah. -...then they're going to sway over to that side.
It's already six-eight right now.
Do you know what I mean?
I think it's this room versus them.
-(bleep) This is such a mess. -I know.
♪♪ ♪♪
NURYS: That's gonna be the only thing
that's gonna be my downfall for this final.
Is the water.
NURYS: Yeah. Growing up, did you play any other sports?
-Track. -What'd you do in track?
Ironically, I did the high jump.
You know, I was four-eight. I was like, eh!
-(laughs) -I was like little Mario.
Mario the little one.
-Before he eats the mushroom. -Yeah. (chuckles)
Now you're, now you're Mario after you ate the mushroom.
Yeah, yeah, it just... (yelps)
Just always good at everything you do. (laughs)
Kyland and Horacio are
completely against the other side,
not because they wanted to be, but because
that is the way that they decided,
as in Jay and Michele and the entire other alliance.
But I never want to turn my back on Jay
and even though he's making it very hard,
I still want to be loyal.
I feel like Horacio and Nurys together,
even though I'm happy for them, in this game,
it's been a little bit of a struggle.
Horacio is quickly falling
to the bottom of Jay and Michele's list
and that doesn't necessarily work for me.
So I'm starting to teeter more
towards Kyland and Horacio and Nurys.
And I did band. Yeah.
You said you played the saxophone, right?
-Played the sax. -(laughs)
Four-eight playing the saxophone.
It was bigger than me.
The saxophone was bigger than me. (laughs)
MORIAH: I know that Zara and Colleen are a threat for the final,
so they need to go. Winning isn't just for me
and my freaking ego-- it's to protect the people
that I truly care about in this game.
HORACIO: The first shot was absolutely taken.
Now there has to be repercussions for them.
Jay and Michele, things have to change.
COREY: The more we shoot at Kyland and Horacio,
at some point they're gonna lose and go home.
No one can win everything.
♪♪ ♪♪
ED: We just came off of a male elimination,
but before that, we did have two female eliminations in a row.
So to be honest, the next one coming up,
anybody's guess is as good as mine.
How is everyone?
-Good. -Good. How are you doing?
Well, we started off with 24 of you.
We've been here for a while. (chuckles)
-We are down to 16. -(groans)
TJ: During the first level of the game,
we were in Control.
You built up the pot, $406,000.
Since then, you've lost $40,000 of that,
which leaves you only $366,000 in your final prize pot.
However, you've been hanging on to it
like champions, and I love that.
Just keep in mind, only one contender
is leaving a Challenge Champion.
So if I was you,
I'd start focusing on the future
-and yourself being in that final. -Yup.
So I thought I'd give you a little warm-up.
Today is a mini-final.
(cheering)
A mini-final is a tester for what's coming in the final.
It's a great opportunity to see who's weak,
who's running fast, who has mass, who's smart,
and you get to see the bigger picture of the game.
It's called Off in the Distance.
Keyword: "distance."
This game is gonna be played
in randomly assigned teams of four,
and when I say go,
you will grab a carry stick and race down a path.
Along the way, you will find three checkpoints.
When you reach a checkpoint,
you must complete that checkpoint
and then grab four bags of puzzle pieces,
put them on your carry stick and bring them back,
drop them off, and continue this process.
Once you've brought all of your bags of puzzle pieces back,
empty them out and start building your puzzle.
First team to solve the puzzle, win today's challenge
and be the only team safe from elimination.
All right.
Good luck, everyone. Get it done.
-(whooping) -Get it!
Our strategy is to pick a pace that we're all comfortable with.
We're not exactly sure how far we're running today.
As long as we understand each other
and have patience with each other,
I think that it could work.
JAY: I love mini-finals because we get to see
who's actually able to do this (bleep).
The last one I was in, I won,
so I don't think anything otherwise
on this one. We got it in the bag.
COLLEEN: I think there is a good possibility
that they will send me in again,
-so I (bleep) have to win. -(laughs)
KYLAND: It's a little bit tricky.
I'm in a team of three people
who, you know, a few hours ago,
all said my name to put me into elimination.
But right now,
I just want us to get on the same page and get it done.
JAMES: I'm very confident. You know, we're all smart.
Plus, you got the two strongest boys in one team,
and we're all (bleep) drop-dead gorgeous.
What else do you want in a team? Blimey.
ZARA: The strategy is to stay calm, work as a team.
It's a marathon. It's not a sprint.
-ASAF: It's gonna be very tough. -ZARA: No joke, guys.
If we got to win anyone,
-this is the one. -No, I know.
TJ: All right, everyone ready?
-(air horn blows) -Let's go. -Oh, my God.
COLLEEN: Okay, grab a piece.
-Okay. -Grab, grab, grab, grab. Grab.
♪♪ ♪♪
MORIAH: Good job, Kyland, good job.
KYLAND: Don't worry about their pace.
We don't know how long this is gonna be.
NURYS: It's me, Ed, Jay and Colleen.
My endurance is amazing.
I'm actually a lot stronger than I look,
so I think I'll be able to show them
that I have a (bleep) ton of heart,
and I think that trumps everything.
And I'm actually glad that Jay's on my team because
if we win, you know,
I can try to fight for Horacio's spot.
ASAF: By the way, you guys are beasting.
COLLEEN: Let me catch my breath. There you go.
It's okay, you guys.
We don't got to go as fast as them right now.
It's a good pace.
OLIVIA: Having Zara and Horacio,
the two best runners in the house, on my team,
is definitely intimidating, but me and Horacio were
so close to winning so many challenges last season
and we always came up short.
We have to win this.
(indistinct chatter)
-(groans) Ow. (bleep) -Hey, hey, hey, hey. -Yeah, watch for those.
KYLAND: Be careful, be careful. It's all right.
COREY: Emanuel and I could run for days,
but we've got to be strategic.
I don't know how far these runs are gonna be...
It's a good pace, Ravyn.
...so I want to set a pace that I know
Ravyn and Berna can keep up with.
OLIVIA: This is the (bleep) Challenge!
ASAF: Let's go!
NURYS: Checkpoint one. Checkpoint one.
You saw checkpoint one?
All right, checkpoint one.
Okay. To release your bags, loop the rope
against the cutting edge until they are cut free.
Each player may only free one bag.
What do we have to do?
-Hey, just pull it off. -That's it?
Let's go, let's go.
This mini-final is called Off in the Distance.
It's teams of four carrying
their stick to three different
checkpoints. At this first checkpoint,
each contender has to grab their own bag
and rub it back and forth across the saw
in order to release it.
Use your weight, use your weight. Jump on top!
Against it, against the grain, against the...
Together! Two.
(bleep) yeah!
Aah!
Mine's done.
-HORACIO: Together. Got it! -Let's go.
(bleep) yeah!
-Come on, got it. -Got it, let's go.
JAY: Pull while you do it. Pull hard down.
One, two, one, two.
ASAF: Strategy is everything.
We have to work like in an orchestra.
Can you play some classical music in the background for me?
-♪♪ ♪♪ -Orchestra.
One, two, one.
♪♪ La, la-la, la-la, la-la. ♪♪
(shouting, clamoring)
Thanks to your favorite conductor,
we are the first team to complete
-station number one. -We go back?
-People orchestra, baby. Yeah. -We got to go back, right?
COREY: Emanuel, pull down while you do it.
That's the trick.
This way, this way.
MORIAH: Horacio's team's in first place right now.
And I'm worried because Zara and I have become
a little bit distant at this point.
And I think it's because we're realizing
that we're on two opposite sides right now.
The only person I trust on the team is Asaf.
And he's outnumbered, so if that team wins,
I don't know what's gonna happen.
COREY: There you go, Emanuel.
Yes! Yes! Good job, brother.
One more. All your body weight. Come on, let's go!
We're in second. Come on. I don't want them to catch up.
-Let's go. -Let's go!
(shouting, clamoring)
Giving us rope. Giving us rope.
Well done, Michele, I'm proud of you.
We are on their ass.
One low, one high. Like this.
-You don't got to do-- -I know, it's just I do.
JAY: Come on, come on, come on!
-You want to go into elimination? -Come on, Colleen!
-I wish I could, but I cannot! -You can.
-Keep pushing, keep pushing. -It's not working!
-You got it. You got it. -JAY: Colleen, we're at the mini-final.
And you're already ready to quit at the first checkpoint?
-Come on, Colleen, this way. -I know!
You can do it.
We all thought that you were gonna kill the final-final.
But I'm not too worried anymore.
Oh, you got this. You got this, baby.
Let's go! Take it-- take it off.
ZARA: Olivia is absolutely killing it.
She is not giving up no matter how tired she feels.
Deep breaths.
Mini-finals and me have not had the best track record.
Last season, me and Horacio kind of got into it.
(grunts)
HORACIO: Come on. You're fine. Just walk. Go faster.
No. Hold on, pause.
-Come on! -He's an asshole.
I need to win, but it is super hard.
And it definitely pushes me to my limits.

Good job, Colleen. Good job!
Put your hand on it, Colleen. Don't carry anything.

HORACIO: Checkpoint two, baby! "To release your bags,
"move them along the rope line. When you reach the end,
"take the bag and continue on your way. Each player may

-No. Let's bring it. Holy smoke. -Teamwork.
There is no team near us, not even close.
Hey. All together. Go under. Go under.

"from the end of the rope, count all of the squares
in the image."
"And then multiply that number by 39."
-Let's move. -All right.
Hey, everybody count your own thing. Squares, yes?
-This whole thing is one... -Yep. -Yep.
-One. - Two, three, four,

And then right here.
-Yep. 22. -22.
-And 23, 24. -And then this, 23.
-24, 25. -25.
They're rectangles.
No, no, it's gonna count. It's gonna count.
I'm looking at the shapes and my mind is going crazy right now.
I see smiley faces, Star of David, a cross.
I see all sorts of things.
We sure it's 25? Everybody do their own math.
The only thing that can help us right now is God.
-Okay. Yeah, it's 979. -I got 49.
ASAF: I don't know. I got 975.
ZARA: No. Can we just try, everyone?
OLIVIA: Yes. Guys, scratch out your answer.
-Scratch your answer. -COREY: Drop it here.
The Turquoise team just showed up.
Meaning our lead is completely gone.
ZARA: Come on. The other team's here!
Let's try 549.
And immediately my team starts to panic.
So we do one together, the other one faster.
-Where are we going? -Whoa.
HORACIO: But we have to be able to keep calm.
I think we're not gonna be the only team to struggle.
Because this checkpoint could be definitely an equalizer.
I count 13.
-What was your-- -You got 13?
JAMES: What's this rock here?
MORIAH: This sucks. Is this our last puzzle piece?
ED: All right.
There you go. Catch your breath.
No, no, no. Maybe it's 1,000?
-OLIVIA: Try 5,049. -ASAF: No, no, but there is three, no?
-What did you say it was? -225.
Why would it be 229? Because listen.
I know, Corey. I did,
I did 40 times 15, and then I subtracted 15.
Wait. Can I, can I please explain?
-Sure. -39 times ten is 390.
So we know it's higher than 390.
-It has to be. -Oh, it's 1,000. It's 1,000.
KYLAND: It's here. Bring it up, bring it up.
MICHELE: Drop the pole?
KYLAND: It's a tough task, apparently.
MICHELE: We've been steadily at third place
for a majority of this challenge.
And now we're seeing something
that's kind of logic and math, so
we might be able to make up some ground.
40 times ten is 4,000.
-I got 16. -Me, too.
-Hold on. -Okay. I got it.
I'm positive. Yep, okay. Yep, I got it.
-COLLEEN: So they're all here. -JAY: Yeah, they are.
ED: Yeah. Everybody's here.
-It's not working. -Don't worry. Don't worry. We'll get. We'll get it.
Go, go, go.
ED: We are late to arrive to the third checkpoint.
But I see that it's math and I could not be more excited.
Number of squares?
(indistinct chatter)
ED: I'm an engineer, for God's sakes.
So this is our opportunity to flip
things around and really make up some time.
(grunts)
-Guys, guys. Guys. -Do it the other way, then. Do it the other way.
JAY: I freaking forgot the freaking number, bro.
Damn. It's (bleep) locked.
MORIAH: I can't do it without paper.
It's so hard for me.
0858...
JAY: Instead of trying to count all the boxes,
we're just gonna sit there and times 20 by 39.
We're going to get that exact number and start adding 39
until, hopefully, the lock opens.
I'm also scared of Horacio and Zaza because
the speed that they have on themselves.
There is another champ on the way.
It could be Johnny Bananas, Wes, CT.
And I don't want to be down in the sand.
So I have to win today.
We got it.
Go, go, go!
Let's go.
-NURYS: Yes! Let's go, baby. -ED: See that, team?
Don't (bleep) count us out. Come on.
-Oh, they got it. -COREY: (bleep) They got it.
ED: Pays to have a brain. Last ones there, first ones back.
This is what I love about The Challenge, man.
Right here, you got to have every set of skills possible.
Good work, guys. Good work.
We're Team Full Brain. Everybody else, Team Half-a-Brain.
Come on, we're after more of a puzzle.
How...
in the heck?
-29 by 39, did you try it? -Yeah, we tried.
HORACIO: Honestly, this is worst-case scenario.
We were completely dusting everybody.
And now the team that was in last place is in first place.
This is now getting very frustrating.
All I want is for us to get the win, keep myself safe,
keep Kyland safe, but we've tried multiple codes
and we're just not getting it.
KYLAND: I'm gonna try the next one, which is 960
minus 24.
JAMES: Got it!
Yes. Let's go! (whoops)
-Good (bleep), bro! -Come on.
Kyland gets the lock done, and I'm so freaking excited.
I don't care how tired I am, I don't care if we're hurting.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to keep James safe.
All right, let's go. Get it moving, get it moving.
TJ: Never quit.
White is bottom, black is top.
-Like this. -Okay, got it.
-I'm keeping blacks over here. -Here's another white.
ED: We get these bags open.
And it's just a bunch of little yellow cylinders.
Some tall, some short.
And all we have to do is make the stacks the same height.
How can this go wrong?
(groaning, grunting)
-NERYS: It's too high. Okay. -JAY: These aren't flush.
-Okay. -ED: Okay, take it out.
Guys, we got, we got time.
Oh, come on, we have to get this.
-I got it. -(gasps)
-Corey? -Ravyn!
-You get it? -Let's go, let's go,
-let's go, let's go. -Good job, you guys.
-How many squares were there? -24?
-23, you said? -What the (bleep)?
-23 or 26? -Uh, guys? (bleep)
Don't say that (bleep) Maybe they haven't finished a puzzle.
-Way to not give up. -It's (bleep) locked.
We can't count the (bleep) squares.
-Come on. -Yeah.
MORIAH: Okay, guys. They're still on it.
-This is too tall. -MORIAH: Holy (bleep), guys.
I think this is the puzzle I won Survivor on.
-(bleep) yeah. -Twice in a row.
Is this a gift from The Challenge gods?
I've done this on Survivor before.
In fact, it's what got me into the final three
to win the whole thing.
Organize blacks over here,
whites in front of me directly.
This is a notoriously difficult puzzle.
A fraction of an inch could be the difference
between winning and losing.
Put all the ones that are the same size
-kind of together. -Oh, we build around this? -JAY: Put that in.
-Yep. Done. -Yes. Put them in.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. One at a time, one at a time.
KYLAND: Don't-Don't stress, don't stress.
You could just drop the first one.
This one, and now that black one.
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me.
It has to be level. Yeah?
-And... Check. -Check!
-That's it. -Yes, baby.
You can just see Kyland's face is
just... "Oh, (bleep)." (laughing)
(whoops)
Horacio, Kyland, you are going down.
Never quit. Never quit. Let's keep working.
We work to the buzzer.
-Work to the buzzer. -Come on, blow that horn, Teej.
ALL: Check!
-Mini-final again, baby! Give me that (bleep) (bleep). -Let's go!
Don't stress. We work to the buzzer, work to the buzzer.
-This one's too short. -Keep going, guys. Hand me that one.
-Come on. Blow that horn, Teej. -TJ: That's incorrect.
-Incorrect? -Shut the (bleep) up.
JAY: We're wrong,
by a millimeter, probably,
on each of these little cylinders.
So I'm freaking out.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, leave that for a second.
Sorry. I think these two, right?
-JAY: Dude, I'm telling you, -NURYS: That's right,
no, no, these are right.
Push, push, push, push.
-Go, go, go. -TJ: Don't ever quit.
Don't ever give up.
NURYS: We had a huge lead and now the other teams
are starting to get here. I'm a bit more nervous now,
because now we have to move even faster.
No, wrong way.
TJ: It's anyone's game!
-It's just these two, right? -Yeah. -Yeah, perfect.
I have no idea what the hell this puzzle is.
White to the bottom, black top.
-Here's a white one, here's a white one. -Give it to me, give it to me.
Like, this is not a puzzle. What is this?
These are good. These are good.
It's these two.
(bleep)
ASAF: 936?
OLIVIA: (gasps) That's it. (bleep)
(cheering, clamoring)
HORACIO: Off one freaking number.
OLIVIA: Well, maybe they haven't finished their puzzle?
-HORACIO: Let's go, baby. -OLIVIA: Some of the best people
come from behind and win.
This is perfect. Look.
-So how many blacks do we have? -So this, and then a black one.
That's even. We have four even, four even.
-Yep, yep. Oh, my God. -Done it. -MORIAAH: Guys?
They're flush. Okay.
KYLAND: We're gonna have to put them in soft.
-Okay. -Put it this way.
Hold on, let me touch that.
Here's a small one.
Yeah. Let's break this one up.
(vocalizing)
You can go ahead and reach. Put in the next piece.
ALL: Check! Check!
(bleep)
-Just keep going. Don't look at them. -Yes.
Come on.
(air horn blows)
-(cheering, clamoring) -TJ: Yes, good job!
Well done!
(bleep) (bleep)
KYLAND: Coming off of a third elimination
hours before, now to be on top
feels so incredible.
(whooping, yelping)
MORIAH: It feels so good to win.
I'm safe, Michele's safe, James is safe.
It's the best day ever for me.
KYLAND: Good job, you guys.
Good job. I'm proud of you. Good job.
Moriah, Michele, James, and Kyland, well done.
-(whooping) -All right!
-That's how it's done. -TJ: It just goes to show you,
no matter how far back you think you are,
you're never out of it.
So you all are safe from elimination.
Come on!
I need to give you the distinct honor
of sending one...
-man.... -(exclaiming)
...into the Arena.
ED: James and Kyland.
Those are two solid options for the guys that,
hey, now they're off the table and they're safe,
and a lot of our alliance is not safe.
TJ: Don't take this decision lightly, because
who I have waiting for them in the Arena is no joke.
Wow.
For me, it's like, well, if you're not working with me
and you're a huge threat, then, like, what are we doing here?
And I feel like Horacio, everybody else has had my back.
And I feel like he doesn't.
This is...
KYLAND: Yeah.
I understand, yeah.
Yeah. 'Cause he is-- Totally. Yeah.
If you have another name that you want to throw out,
let's discuss.
You guys all have a case, and
everyone has to look out for their game.
I understand that.
I don't love saying Horacio's name.
He's my number one and pretty much my only
male ally in the house.
But by saying his name, we now are putting the house
in a more difficult position of having to pick someone else.
Yeah. Yeah.
Absolutely, absolutely.
I appreciate it, though.
Yeah.
TJ: All right, who's it gonna be?
Well, my good friend Horacio over here.
Uh, obviously, I think, uh,
everyone knows not by choice, but...
this is the decision that our team has made.
OLIVIA: I'm actually
jaw-dropped. Kyland is Horacio's number one.
And the girls are working with me.
So maybe I made a mistake in this game
by trusting the wrong people.
I feel that this is just going to be a reoccurring theme.
I don't win, I'm gonna be down in the sand,
-every single time. -JAMES: To be honest, look.
At this point in the game,
he's one of the people that could
potentially beat me in the final.
So, you know, it's being vigilant, being wise.
-You know... -NURYS: Everyone here is smart.
Everyone here is strong. Everyone here can beat anybody.
You guys just keep picking the same exact people.
All right, talk about it...
(overlapping arguing)
No, I will not be quiet. I will not be quiet.
I'm tired of hearing the same excuse of, "Oh,
Horacio and Kyland are gonna beat me in a final."
Like, anybody can beat you in a final. Anybody can beat anybody.
So I'm fed up with everyone thinking that they're
the only threats when everybody else is a threat, too.
Too many people politicking. They've got no power.
-JAMES: Win something then, protect your man. -NURYS: Okay, don't worry.
Don't worry, don't worry, that's fine.
TJ: All right, so now I need
the rest of you to head back to the house.
Deliberate, nominate one man
to send into the Arena.
Anyone except for the winning team, of course.
James, Kyland, Moriah, Michele,
you can deliberate with everyone.
However, you will not have a vote in the nomination, got it?
Keep in mind,
the beast I have waiting for you
is no joke.
So don't take that decision lightly, got it?
All right, I'll see you all at the Arena.
Get out of here.
HORACIO: Although I don't want to be sent in,
part of me thinks this is the best decision.
Now the house has to say a name
between Emanuel, Corey, Ed, Jay and Asaf.
So I feel like that could cause some tension.
It could cause another division, which is good for, for my game.
(cheering, clamoring)
♪♪ ♪♪
Mm-hmm.
I am so freaking happy that I don't have to vote,
because this nomination
seems like it's going to be a messy one.
Corey, Jay and Asaf, they're so strongly connected.
So Ed and Emanuel are kind of the floaters right now.
I'm definitely feeling like
my position in this game has shifted entirely.
No matter how I felt emotionally,
maybe I should have just stayed true
to my alliance, which is Horacio.
Yeah.
♪♪ ♪♪
COREY: TJ's been warning us that this champ coming in
is one of the greatest and I am terrified.
Emanuel, Asaf, Jay, Ed
and myself could be at risk.
Tonight, I have to make sure I stay in this game.
ASAF: Good morning, Nurys. You're not here to find love.
You're here to find money.
Remember Fantastic Four?
ALL: Fantastic Four!
We're the heroes in this game. Nurys, you will have to decide.
Friends over winning this game.
What do you prefer?
Yeah.
Like...
I'm loyal to Jay and Michele and Olivia,
Moriah and Asaf out of my integrity.
But if you're gonna come for Horacio,
that means you're coming for me.
I wish I would listen to the little devil
on my shoulder telling me, "(bleep) them
and do what you want to do."
Aah!
-Boo! -(laughs)
Yeah!
MICHELE: Horacio, can I talk to you?
Number one, I'm sorry.
From my perspective, I feel like
you put me in this pigeonhole
of, like, thinking that I was against you
-when I wasn't. -Mm-hmm.
I felt like you were not meeting me even halfway.
Like...
It's just all the people you're riding for
are turning on me. So it's like,
what-what should I think?
I am now realizing why Jay
and Michele have so many enemies
with the champs, with the vets,
and it's because of the way they play the game.
I'm not privy to what's going on with the boys.
I don't (bleep) know.
The boys don't (bleep) talk to me, dude.
-They don't talk to me. And... -Okay, well, Michele,
I haven't-- I didn't make a move against you.
I hadn't made one. Now you made one against me.
MICHELE: This conversation
is falling on dead ears.
There's no point to it. I can't
be fearful of making a decision
just because one person might come for me.
So, game on.
The line is more than drawn.
Like, everybody's on this side and I'm on this side,
and that's where it's at.
♪♪ ♪♪
I noticed, like, some people,
like, aren't looking me in the eye.
And I'm like, "Hello, you want to tell me something?"
ASAF: Going into nomination, I feel like I'm safe,
because Jay will never
put my name in elimination.
He's the uncle for my son,
one of my best friends
and the leader of my alliance.
So it all comes down to Ed
or Emanuel.
I feel like they're definitely gonna
-vote either for me... -Mm-hmm.
...or Emanuel.
I think
Nurys and Olivia will do whatever Michele wants to do.
So I can see it going my way.
I haven't heard a thing about Corey or Asaf.
I have no idea why.
I guess everybody got amnesia. Do they not remember
all the stuff Corey did in the beginning?
I was honest with her.
There's times where I didn't want to work with her.
She feels like she's been loyal and that she's done
so much for everyone.
Here's my problem. It's like, this has worked for you
-up until right now. -No, I told her. I said,
"You've been the safety-- safest in this game."
-Like, she has. -And she still is.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm starting to realize that I am naïve,
because I feel like Olivia
is trying to play both sides.
-I'm in the (bleep) spot. It's... -I know.
And it sucks, 'cause I really like Kyland
-and I do like Horacio. -Yeah.
Just because Jay and Michele have a beef with them.
That was their choice.
So for me to get caught in the middle
-is so selfish. -Yeah.
I don't know where she stands, and I really never do.
I'm just feeling like it's, like, Jay's game
that's being played, and all the things
that he's doing is definitely, like, falling back on me.
It's like, "Michele and Jay."
The girls who I'm riding for the hardest in this game
feel like I'm betraying them.
Like, I literally could cry.
Like, I hurt Nurys. I hurt Olivia. I just, like,
feel like it's gonna get so messy from now on.
Jay very clearly drew
a line in the sand that he's no longer working
with Horacio and Kyland.
He also drew a faint line with Nurys and Olivia.
And so that's making this really messy for me.
OLIVIA: I feel like today everything's blowing up.
NURYS: I just think it's funny
that they finally got to make a decision
and say one of their own people.
Emanuel is Jay's strongest ally.
KYLAND: Let's just do that.
I've been working
to get people on board
with saying Emanuel's name,
because everyone knows the type of threat he is.
For a while, this game has been about who's protecting who.
I'm ready to shake things up.
OLIVIA: I guess I'm just like,
what would be the worst backlash for us?
This vote for me is basically me picking a side.
I'm like, "Do I say Ed or do I say Emanuel?"
But, basically, either way,
I'll have the whole house against me.
♪♪ ♪♪
ASAF: Wait, you guys sure
-it's gonna be between you guys? -JAY: Yes.
-No, it's gonna be me. -This is the-- this is
-the only names I've heard today. -Oh.
I'm aligned with these boys heavy.
Asaf is a real-life,
"hang out all the time" type of friend.
Asaf is my number one,
and no one knows.
Emanuel's number two.
I've been working with him since day one.
Corey, sometimes he goes back and forth,
because he is trying to survive, but Michele says
she trusts him like she trusts her hands.
So...
Ed, your time's up, man.
ASAF: I must be honest
with you guys, it's-- I think it's the only elimination
-that I'm less nervous, more excited. -Mm.
Because if it's the beast of the beasts,
-then it's a fight. -COREY: We'll show them why
-we're the next generation, right? -Yeah, baby.
-We're here for a reason. -Mm-hmm.
If we got to fight, we fight.
I didn't really have
any men that I was connected to.
But rooming with Jay and talking with Jay,
we have definitely become very close.
I'm so happy that we've been able to play this game together
-and build trust. -I know.
-You know you've always got me. -Same.
I have your back. We're good.
Jay is a very smart and supportive person.
I think he has my back,
so I won't be getting put up for nomination.
♪♪ ♪♪
Uh, guys,
thank you, guys, for putting me in again.
-(chuckling) -So, what do you got to say, Emanuel?
Well, I know it's between me and Ed.
When I think about why I'm here...
...I actually think about my family.
Of course, I'm not gonna say my name.
ED: All right. I mean, it is what it is.
Honestly, like, Horacio, he takes it on the chin, man,
and I love that.
So, I mean, I'm here to, like, do the same.
KYLAND: I am so excited
to watch the tears and cracks.
Don't worry, Ed. I got you.
All of your people are turning on you,
so come over here and work
with an alliance that actually remains loyal to each other.
EMANUEL: I know Kyland is recruiting soldiers.
He's trying to play his game, and he's smart.
KYLAND: I have a few thoughts.
The vote, from my conversation, sounds like it's not super set.
I feel like, when you vote,
what you're saying is, "I find you to be
"either my biggest threat of my choices
or the most expendable of my choices."
MICHELE: Or you don't have the conversations.
-Or there's a lot of reasons why people vote... -No, no, those are reasons why
-it nets out to those two things. -It's not you're ex--
It's not just you're expendable or you're a threat.
Maybe it's better for a friend or an ally.
-And it's-it's like, "Well, to me, they're even." -No, but that's a choice.
"But a friend or an ally needs me here." Or whatever it is.
-There's a slew of reasons... -No, you're talking about intention versus result.
My vote today
is strictly based off the fact that...
one person has said my name
and one hasn't.
So, Emanuel, I'm sorry, my vote has to be for you.
I definitely think Jay should be down there, but Jay's
not on the chopping block anymore. Of course.
Ed has never said my name, so...
I'm just returning the favor.
ZARA: Guys, I love you both,
but I've never spoken game to you, Emanuel, so I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
You want to just say each other?
Yeah, of course.
My vote's for Emanuel.
I already said your name last time,
so it makes it easier for me to say this time.
So, Emanuel, my vote's for you.
Both are my brothers. I think it's gonna go your way, so...
my vote is for you.
COLLEEN: I just feel
more protected on this side, so my vote is for you.
Of course. No, I understand.
I'm just gonna go with someone that said my name before,
so Emanuel.
JAY: Nurys and Olivia are supposed to be working
with me as well, not just Kyland.
So now they're doing
Kyland's dirty work
while he's sitting pretty
and they're voting against Emanuel.
At least you're not voting for Asaf or me.
But now you've drawn
a line in the sand.
Ed, I say your name
because I want to stay true to myself
-and my words. -ED: Yeah.
-My vote is for you. -Yeah.
I'm happy that Asaf is not in the picture.
And Jay also. But there is
my number one guy Emanuel.
I don't want to lose him,
and I don't want him to go down.
My vote's for Ed.
JAY: Ed,
my vote's for you, bro.
HORACIO: Where we at?
-We tied right now? -EMANUEL: My vote is
for you, Ed.
My vote's for Emanuel.
And for the first time ever, we have a tie.
Ooh, stalemate!
So maybe, Emanuel,
Ed, you can say one more thing
or a little bit more about your case,
and maybe people will change their mind.
-What do you want me to do here? It's like... -ZARA: Guys,
if it's a stalemate, there's usually a consequence.
HORACIO: I don't mind it being a stalemate.
I have absolutely nothing to lose.
I'm already going down into the sand.
If anybody has to deal with the consequences,
it's gonna be the rest of the guys.
So, I'm okay with the stalemate.
ZARA: Let's think about this logically.
Is everyone certain that they want this to be a stalemate?

OLIVIA: It is never smart to leave things
in TJ's hands. I mean, you never know what to expect.

Let's vote again, see if anything changes.

Once again. I'm not changing my vote.
Well, I'm gonna have to say Ed.
I'm not changing my vote either, Ed.
I'll change my vote.

I'll end up at risk.

MICHELE: Listen, I'm not (bleep) mad.
I'm just saying, from my perspective,
as somebody who has the same exact number one as you do--
besides Horacio-- that voting a stalemate position
put our number one, Jay, in a risky spot.
NURYS: He was always going to possibly be
-on the chopping block. -For Chaos.
-But now we have a stalemate. -So it's the same thing now.
It's a higher probability.

-For Jay? -No, no, no. No.
NURYS: Don't tell me that I picked a side
because I've been on the same exact side...
-Today? Today? -...this entire time.
You put Jay at a higher risk
of potentially going down.
That's how I feel.
There's definitely gonna be consequences
to being on the side of Horacio and Kyland,
but at the same time,
I really don't care.
I did not come here to play for anybody else.
I came to play for myself, and if, for some reason,
that comes back and bite me in the ass, then so be it.
You have highly improved my chances of going down
without even realizing how bad you just (bleep) me.
You've thought about Emanuel and Ed
over your own boy.
OLIVIA: Chill out, Jay.
Chill out.
If we didn't give a (bleep), then why didn't
one of the guys switch their vote?
Because the guys aren't gonna switch. Don't you get it?
-So it's on us. -Yeah.
Like it was on me for you guys when it was girls.
Throughout this game, I'm always making sure
that Olivia and Nurys are staying safe.
I can't even count on their votes to help me anymore.
In fact, every time that I count names and numbers,
I'm always putting Nurys and Olivia on the other side,
voting against me.
Thank you so much,
because they just asked me what airport am I going to?
So thank you. Appreciate it.
HORACIO: The idea of competing against a champion is very intimidating.
You want to beat the best,

All right, everyone, welcome to your 14th elimination
here in the Arena on this season of Battle for a New Champion.
My man James, Kyland, Moriah and Michele
chose Horacio to send into the Arena.
But you're standing here alone.
That doesn't make me happy.
A stalemate.
Big mistake.
You know what a stalemate does, right?
A stalemate takes the game out of your hands,
and it puts the game in these hands...

you could ever do.
There is a beast of a Challenge champion...
...waiting to destroy you.

knock off some of that rust and, uh,
see what I got to do for, uh, season 40.

TJ: CT, your job tonight
is to take out a contender.
Horacio was chosen by our winners
and then I sent the rest of them home to make a decision:
send one more man down here.
Well, guess what? They screwed it up.
They put it in my hands.
That is the Chaos Club.
This club means you can select
any man that you want to go against,
except for James and Kyland, since they won the challenge.
-What'd you do? -I mean, nothing.
Apparently, they, uh, see me as a threat, you know?
I mean, from what I saw, you seem like a good kid
and it sounds like, uh, you got a bad shake last season,
which was the bane of my Challenge career
in the very beginning.
Always, at the very end,
if I didn't win, I was going in, I was going home,
'cause no one wanted to see me in the final.
And it sounds like that's what's happening now, huh?
-Similar. Yes. -Well, guess what today, kiddo...
I'm going to give you the break I never had, all right?

-Nice to see you, man. I appreciate you. -All right.
MORIAH: Even if you're not down in the sand,
you're still worried.
We should have picked a name.
Can we go into Conquest?
Because I'm sick and tired of this Chaos.
And then these guys, I mean, sh--
look at all the history we got here.
Jay, I'd say let's run it back, but you know what?
You beat me straight up, so I got nothing against you.

Everybody wants to be a champion.
Nobody wants to go through elimination.
Give it to me, baby. Let's go.
All right, gentlemen, you ready?
KYLAND: CT.
Of course I don't want him to take this money,
but Asaf's got to go.
-Go! -(air horn blows)
MICHELE: Let's go, Asaf!
There you go.
Momentum, baby, momentum.
Go, go! Yes!
OLIVIA: CT is an absolute beast.
But then I look at Asaf.
Damn, Asaf's actually strong as hell.
(shouts)
-RAVYN: You got this! -Faster, faster, faster!
-BERNA: Let's go. -Use your legs!
ASAF: This big dreidel is no joke.
Whew.
There is people at home that trust me. My son trusts me.
There are mouths to feed, and I'm here for that.
(shouts)
OLIVIA: You got this! Yes!
BERNA: Asaf. I believe in you!

What?
CT: Math is kind of like a puzzle to me.
Sometimes you got to work backwards,
sometimes you got to go forwards,
but this time, that's a tough one.
I don't want to come back now and just...
just take an L, you know, 'cause then,
I-I'll start to feel like that old quarterback
who should have retired a long time ago.
ASAF: I don't even know what is prime number.
Prime numbers can't be divided by anything.
Divided by what?
A prime number is something that can only be
divided by itself.
ASAF: I have here nine divided by three.
-KYLAND: Yeah, you got to get rid of that nine. -Nine? Get rid of the nine.
I have 15.
Fifteen's not prime.
-You don't need it. -Yeah, toss 15.
Come on!
I'm worried about Asaf today because
he's way stronger than I am, but I'm definitely better
at math than he is.
I wish I could put my brain into his body right now.
Maybe 11 plus four?
So 11...
You don't want to waste a second.
You want to get it done as fast as possible,
but if you're trying
to do too much too fast...
ASAF: I have 57, 59, 97,
93, nine, four, 11 and 15.
CT: ...you're gonna make more problems than
you could have avoided if you had just gone slow.
I want to prove it to myself I still got it.
Maybe that's just an ego thing.
So, yes.
Okay, sorry. I need to put the three somewhere.
HORACIO: Keep it going, CT.
I don't want Asaf in the game
because the least amount of people that are on that side
means the least amount of people that are gonna come after me.
59 plus 11.
(exhales sharply) 70.
Minus three: 63.
Wait. Ooh. Um...
The rest of the equation needs to equal three.
-What? -Listen to him!
MICHELE: The rest of the equation needs to equal three.
This is six or nine?
Let's go!
ASAF: What is prime numbers?
What happened?
I don't even know what is a prime number.
Life happened.
I'm sorry, Abba, I'm sorry.
This game is very important for me.
I'm a real fan of this show.
I prepared for this for so long.
(shouts)
I-- for many years I thought that I don't deserve to be here.
Finally I get a-- I get the call from TJ,
and I have another chance
to be a champ, to showcase myself, to compete.
(yells)
I feel like I left no stone unturned in the Arena tonight.
I gave my all.
(exhales) 70 minus three?
Sixty-three?
Wait. Ooh.
I played this season
less impulsive as I wanted to be.
Wait, wait, I'm not playing?
No.
I wanted-- oh.
You did not want that.
It would be a pleasure, though.
I know that I am responsible
for some of the eliminations that have been happening
in the house and in this game,
so I'm, uh, I'm proud of myself.
I came to play.
I'm good with anything--
the bigger, the strongest.
Just, just don't trust this liar.
I got to keep my head up because you don't know,
I might come back.

OLIVIA: He's pretty confident.
(CT panting)
JAMES: The boys are neck and neck.
Both CT and Asaf are struggling on the math.
When you're down there and you're under pressure,
it's very difficult.
CT, he's the one champ that you don't want to go against.
-Don't quit! -Good job, Asaf!
ED: Plus, minus,
divided, make that equal to three.
(mutters softly)
JAY: Come on!
Let's go!
Check.

Good job.

OLIVIA: Good job, Asaf.
Keep your head up, abba, keep your head up.
-I'm sorry. -Keep your head up.
-Great warrior. -JAY: Watching Asaf lose tonight
is the hardest thing
that I've done in this game so far.
Olivia and Nurys, you don't have my back.
This really sucks.
(speaking Hebrew)
I-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Abba, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Asaf, we're so proud of you.
KYLAND: People are in tears over Asaf...
...which is really just reassurance to me.
This guy is way more connected
than any of us realize.
So it's even better
that he left than Emanuel left,
as far as I'm concerned.
ASAF: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry.
No sorry.
All right, well, it was a great elimination tonight, fellas.
Asaf, unfortunately, you lost $10,000
out of the final prize pot for all of the contenders,
but you ran into a beast tonight.
Take care of yourself, man. Have a good one.

-(applause) -Good job. Congratulations.
Keep your head up, baby.
Later.
(muffled voices, applause)
ASAF: I came to the house to compete.
I came here to the house to be brave.
I deserved to be on The Challenge.
I'm the new generation.
NURYS: Asaf being eliminated right now,
it definitely sucks for me,
because he was someone that had my back.
But at the same time,
Jay and his alliance,
their numbers need to get cut.
It's bittersweet, but I'll take it more as a win than a loss.
This class of new contenders
is the best we've seen in a long time.
It's hard to not get caught up when so much is at stake,
but don't forget to enjoy yourselves,
'cause not everybody's going home with that money.
But you are gonna go home with a lot of memories.
CT, you are $10,000 richer.
-Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. -(applause)
Appreciate you, brother. Much love.
-I'll see you soon? -Yes, sir.
CT: All right.
They want to go up against the champions.
They want to prove themselves, and you got to respect somebody
that has enough confidence they think they can win.
TJ: I haven't seen all of you
this sad in a long time.
This is what happens when you leave the game in my hands.
If I was you, I would change my mindset
and I would start focusing on the future,
because that final is danger close.
The only way to stay safe is by winning.
Get out of here, everyone.
JAY: Fantastic Four is done.
I just trust Michele now.
And if you think
that I was coming for Kyland and Horacio before,
they have no idea what's coming for them.
