Stay tuned after the episode for the final words
from the eliminated challengers.

COREY: Should we pretend like we're doing something
-other than waiting? -My heart is pumping.
MICHELE: Can't even pretend.
COREY: I know.
MICHELE: Please be Nurys. Please be Nurys.
NURYS: For some reason, if she (bleep) me over...
But I will never do that to her.
COREY: We've been sitting here since they left.
Can't see anything.
NURYS: Being crossed and being thrown into elimination
and having to send home Kyland and Horacio, it sucks.
I don't trust anybody in this house, I don't care
to be friends with anybody in this house, but I'm just gonna
have to keep my cool and not go off,
because the new champ this season is gonna be me.
MICHELE: It's gonna be Nurys.
She's great-- (gasps) It is her!
(screams)
-Really? -OLIVIA: Oh, my God.
JAY: Yes! (whoops)
What did I tell you?
-What did I tell you? -(laughs)
-Oh, my God. -JAY: (bleep) There it is.
Oh, my God.
No, 'cause I'm-I'm here alone.
NURYS: No. It's just me.
-COREY: What? -COLLEEN: No. -NURYS: Yeah.
-MICHELE: You don't know for sure... -NURYS: No.
I eliminated both of them.
You eliminated both of them?
My alliance has been coming for Kyland and Horacio
for this entire season.
Little did we know, all we had to do
was send in little Nurys up against them
to get the job done.
-You joking or no? -I'm being serious.
OLIVIA: The only thing I want to do right now is just
jump in her arms and give her the biggest hug
and tell her how proud I am of her.
But I also know that she doesn't want to even hear me breathe,
so I'm hoping that Nurys gives me a chance to talk.
I will not be telling none of you guys anything.
JAY: I think that there's no bigger target in this house
for Nurys right now than Olivia.
Olivia was supposed to save her.
Olivia had to pick Nurys.
I don't know why she didn't, because they could have changed
this entire game.
You actually eliminated both?
Yeah...
Also, (bleep) all of you guys.
Every single one of you. Yeah.
After beating two of the biggest "competitions"
in this entire Challenge
that everyone didn't want to see in the final,
I know for a fact I can win a final,
and they should be scared.
♪♪ ♪♪
(clock ticking)
OLIVIA: I don't blame her for feeling
some type of way.
I just thought that I was smart enough to make it...
work for both of us, and I wasn't.
And it was the worst outcome possible.
MICHELE: I obviously want my girls to be on the same page
as we're entering this endgame.
And Conquest has been quite the emotional roller coaster.
So I will absolutely do everything in my power
to make Olivia and Nurys mend their friendship.
The truth is, you made a one-second decision.
The only thing running through your mind was like,
"How can I not be the one going in right now?"
Yes, I know you feel bad. There is no way around it.
This sucks, and I get it.
But she's here,
and I don't want this game to tear friends apart.
And you guys are real friends.
I, right now, don't feel like I deserve forgiveness.
I'm sorry for all of them, but if I had to save Nurys,
she would have saved Horacio and Kyland,
which would have had everyone in the house turning on me.
I know she loves you and you know she loves you.
I don't actually believe that.
I feel like I'm just better if I'm just not involved,
and just-just stay away from her.
You know it's gonna take work on both of you guys' parts.
Is it gonna be perfect? Probably not.
-Talk it out, dude. -(sniffles)
♪♪ ♪♪
-Dude, that was so stressful. -Dude, today was a day.
-But I got to tell you something. -What? What?
-It's pretty bad, actually. I... -What?
(laughs): Kyland and Horacio are gone.
(both laugh)
JAY: Oh, my God.
Now I don't have to worry about them
winning a daily anymore.
And I could tell that Nurys is pissed,
but I don't think it's targeted towards me.
So I plan on looking out for Nurys
moving forward.
It's something serious.
It got real bad.
What?
Kyland and Horacio are gone.
(laughter)
Triple belly flop. One, two, three.
-(all grunt) -EMANUEL: We're happy
that Kyland and Horacio are gone.
Let's face it, even Nurys is happy.
She's sad she had to do it, and...
they were also her competition.
Good to have them here, better to have them gone.
OLIVIA: Do you want to talk in here?
NURYS: We can talk in here.
♪♪ ♪♪
(sighs) Um...
I'm so sorry that you were put in that position.
(exhales)
I think where my mind was in that moment...
I'm in, like, this, like, survival mode, you know?
And it was literally seconds.
There was no plan. On my life, there was no plan.
I don't know.
But honestly... Whatever.
W-Who cares if it was a split-second decision or not?
The bottom line is that I didn't choose you,
and that sucks.
Nurys is upset, and I have no one to blame but myself.
I just have to take it on the chin
and accept that I did a really big L.
I think I just left your emotions fully out of it
when I should have considered them way more.
NURYS: I don't even know, really, how I feel, if I'm being honest.
And I don't know if "betrayed" is the right word,
but I feel like that's the only word that comes to mind.
I am 100% hurt by Olivia,
but honestly, not surprised,
because I don't trust anybody in this house.
I don't know.
This whole thing has just been (bleep).
You deserve to be here.

BERNA: For me this season, it was really hard.
I don't want to be a victim because I'm not.
But today, it hurt me so much.
When I saw that, I was like, "Whoa."
I'm gonna save Olivia.
TJ: All right. Olivia.
-I was so loyal... -I'm sorry.
-...from day one. -No, I know.
MICHELE: Berna is realizing
I have had other priorities in this game,
and Berna has always put me as her number one.
I still want Berna
to run the final with me, I know how much it means to her.
But you have to give me credit,
Moriah, Olivia and Nurys, I tried
-to you get to know them for you only. -You get-- of course. Yes.
-I never regretted, until... -I know.
...I heard that Nurys hates me.
If we win next time, like, if you wouldn't pick me,
I would be such in a danger for the elimination.
Michele put Olivia in the situation
to betray her friends
shows me, also, a lot of-- about Michele.
I won't betray my friends, and I don't like
that you put your friends in this situation.
Now I have double pressure to win.
I think we all deserve to make money,
we all deserve to see a final,
but sometimes it's not about the money.
For real, like, this is more than a game final to me.
It means so much if I can make it, to myself,
that I'm not a loser, that I'm not a failure.
On the list of people that I prioritize...
...you are literally there.
OLIVIA: I do love you. I do.
NURYS: After today, like, just seeing everything
and experiencing everything today, it was just, like,
the reality of it is, we lost Kyland and Horacio,
who are the biggest threats for the guys.
We're now at six girls, four guys.
And I don't care for Berna, but I would rather see her there
and us run an all-girls final.
♪♪ ♪♪
I'm in a dilemma, because I had all four of the girls' backs,
they all turned on me.
But the guys
have made all the females a scapegoat.
So I don't think they deserve to be in the final.
And to be honest, I think it would be smarter
if we had an all-girls alliance.
MICHELE: I mean, I (bleep) with Berna being there.
You know that. I'd be so happy if--
that would be my ideal situation.
OLIVIA: Maybe tomorrow, one of the guys messes up
and gets purged, you know, you never know.
NURYS: If one female, just one girl wins tomorrow,
boom: girl, girl, girl.
All six of us are safe, three boys go down,
one boy comes back, let the best man win,
and then, we're in the final.
OLIVIA: Although Nurys is hurt,
she is a game player,
and she hops right back on the horse and is ready to win.
I am so surprised that Nurys is not very upset with Jay,
but I love the idea of an all-girl final.
Let's do a girl-power season. Come on.
The reality of it is, we've got to get the boys out.
MICHELE: I would love an all-girl final.
This is my dream come true.
Knock out all the boys. Sorry, Jay.
One person is gonna win this,
and I would be happy if it was me, obviously.
I would love that so much.
OLIVIA: That's never happened.
♪♪ ♪♪
JAY: This is the closest I've gotten to the final ever
in my Challenge career, and I promise you,
I'm gonna do my best to get my ass in that final.
I'm thinking now that every challenge,
if you come in last place, you go home.
I just need to not mess this up.
OLIVIA: I think if any of the girls win,
we'll stick to the plan and hopefully
have an all-girl final.
I came here for one reason:
to become a Challenge champion.
TJ: All right, everyone, welcome to your 17th challenge
on this season of Battle for a New Champion.
(cheering, applause)
We started Conquest with 15 of you,
and we are already down to ten.
So those numbers are dwindling fast.
All right, today's challenge is called Drum Roll.
To begin, all ten of you are gonna be on that giant drum
suspended 35 feet above the water.
Then, when I say go, we're gonna pull the pin,
and that thing's gonna be moving.
First five people to fall off the drum
and into the sea will go into the losers bracket.
The remaining five players
will then go into the winners bracket.
The winners round will go first.
Last man or woman standing out of that round
will be our winner and be safe from elimination.
Then we will go to the losers round.
First contender to fall off the drum and into the water
will lose today's challenge, which means
they are out of the game.
You're done.
The final, it is so close.
Danger close.
You do not want to be sent home now.
Good luck, everyone.
(applause)
JAMES: The hands look great. I hurt in the last challenge,
but look, no excuses. I'm here to win.
BERNA: I assume
it's the last game before the final.
If this is the case, I have to win this game.
MICHELE: I almost made it to the final of USA 2.
I'm not gonna let it slip out of my grasp again,
so I'm hoping my experience comes into play today.
All right, everyone ready?
♪♪ ♪♪
-MICHELE: I'm nervous. -Don't be.
Don't be part of that first five.
-(Olivia groans) -(Michele grunts)
-BERNA: You got this. -MICHELE: Let's go!
JAMES: Oh, you got this. You got this, baby.
-TJ: Go! -(air horn blows)
(Olivia shouts)
♪♪ ♪♪
TJ: All right, everyone ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go!
JAMES: So the name of this challenge is called Drum Roll.
You basically got to stay on as long as possible.
First five to come off goes into the losers bracket.
The top five people will go into the winners bracket,
and out of that five, the person to stay on the longest
will be immune from elimination.
But first person to come off the losers' bracket
will then be going home.
TJ (laughs): Oh, oh, oh!
Now we're running.
BERNA: To hold onto a rope and not fall?
That's my work, I work in a circus.
Trapeze, tissu,
acrobatic juggling.
This game is made for me.
And if I win this game, I might be the first finalist.
(grunting)
MICHELE: I'm just thinking, like,
how did my life get me to this point
where now I'm about to plummet to my death if I'm not running
on a hamster wheel?
TJ: First five!
Don't be part of that first five!
COREY: Back at home, my dad
was always my coach in every sport I played growing up.
And doing The Challenge
kind of ignited that inside of him again.
I want to win the title for my parents,
because they've given me everything in my life,
and I would love to pay them back.
But most important, hopefully,
I do my dad proud.
(all grunting)
TJ: Whoa! Whoa!
(laughs): Oh!
OLIVIA: Honestly, the only people
that I'm worried about winning today is Emanuel and Jay.
I think if any of the girls win,
they will be happy with running an all-girl final.
(shouts)
(bleep)
Just cannot hold the rope anymore.
I'm so upset because I don't really give my best
and this challenge is so important,
that could save my place in the final.
Four down. Four down!
JAY: Panic is setting in everyone's eyes,
and then, boom, Olivia's gone.
Then Colleen is gone, then Michele is gone,
then Moriah is gone, and now,
I'm waiting for the fifth and final splash.
I'm trying to preserve as much energy
as I can for the winning bracket.
Who's going to fall?
My main goal for today:
do not get in the losers bracket.
If you're in there, you could go home.
Ooh!
Oh! Oh!
-Five down. -(air horn blows)
Well done.
The girls really impressed me in this challenge.
With Nurys and Berna in the winners heat.
Corey, I needed him to win, because with him,
I know he would save me.
I'm now just focused on Moriah.
She comes last, she goes home,
and then, I've literally got no hope in the house.
OLIVIA: My worst nightmare come to life.
I'm in the losers' bracket with Emanuel,
Moriah, Colleen and Michele.
I mean, I'm a little shocked to see Emanuel there,
but also at the same time, I'm like...
EMANUEL: I'm in the losers' bracket.
Such a (bleep) performance.
Whatever happens, I'm not going to go home.
I'm here for my family and my mother,
and, uh, you know, I promised her
that I'm going to help her.
That's why I'm here.
MICHELE: This is not where I want to be right now.
Not where I want to be at all.
MICHELE: I'm stressed out
because now it's between me
and four of my friends.
And I'm realizing, like, this just has to be
something that I have to believe I can do
or else I'm not going to be able to do it
and I'm going to be going home.
TJ: All right, Corey, James,
Nurys, Jay and Berna.
This is the winners' round.
Last contender standing wins today's challenge
and is safe from elimination.
You ready?
EMANUEL: Let's go, Berna!
-(air horn blows) -Go!
Here we go.
NURYS: I need to win. I'm definitely the lone wolf.
I have no alliances.
I have so much to prove,
not only to myself, but to everybody here
that threw me in,
everyone that doesn't have my back,
they should be scared.

MORIAH: I'm really hoping that
James wins because at this point
in the game, he needs to ensure his safety
and he shouldn't trust anyone in here besides me,
and that's just the facts.

COREY: I know if I don't win,
there's a high chance

-MICHELE: Yeah. -MORIAH: She's good.

How is she doing this?
-Ah, (bleep)! -CJ (laughs): Corey.
Everybody is freaking out in front of me.

You just keep on running like a hamster.

OLIVIA: I'm praying that James wins.
James will save Moriah,

Berna's gonna be doing, first of all,
a speech for everyone on why they're getting chosen.
And then she's gonna make excuses
for this and that, and then she's going to talk about
what happened ten years ago in her life.
I mean, it's just a lot.

Well done, Berna!
BERNA: This was really important because it's
maybe the last celebration before the final,

I always worked so hard for finals, but I got betrayed.
They played me. This time,
if I can make it there and save Colleen for sure,
Emanuel, for sure,

Looking at the losers' bracket right now,
I am petrified

Moriah and Emanuel,
this is the losers' round.
NURYS: To be honest, I don't care which one of them goes.
They've all crossed me at this point.
I had all four of the girls' backs.
They all turned on me.
Emanuel, clearly could never count on him,

TJ: Oh, Moriah. Oh, Moriah!
JAY: Olivia might go! Stay on!
Michele's feet are off.
MICHELE: Now I'm relying on my arm strength
and like, let's be honest,
that's, like, a weakness.
I play for the people at home,

overcome these physical obstacles

we are stronger than we think that we are.

leading up to this point were really just
figments of my imagination

You are gracious in defeat.
Unfortunately, this ends your time here on The Challenge.
-Take care, Michele. -Aw.
MICHELE: I feel disappointed in myself that I couldn't get to a final.
I feel like this was like my season to win.
Based on seeing the vets come in
and some of their vendettas towards me,
I think me getting a win on a season
that's not this could be challenging,
but I've defied greater odds.
So, we'll see.
BERNA: This is for you, Michele.
You guys crush it. Don't kill each other.
JAMES: With Michele leaving, it's going to shake up the house.
You know, she was one of the el jefe.
She was controlling things.
With her gone, holding everything together,
it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
TJ: Congratulations, Berna.
By winning today's challenge, you are the only
contender safe from elimination.
-Well done. -Thank you.
And now I will be seeing you at nominations
where you will select one contender to save.
Then they will choose one and so on until we are down to three.
Those three contenders will then come with me
to a private Conquest elimination.
We'll just see who comes back to the house.
Got it? All right. See you soon.
Berna in a place of power...
I mean, all of us should be trembling
because we have no idea
where this emotional roller coaster is going.
Michele leaving is actually the biggest upset
of all time in this moment because she is so good
at steering Berna in the way that Berna needs to be steered.
And right now, it's towards me and Nurys.
If she wants to win and be a champ,
the smartest thing you can do is bring girls to the final.
Come on, it's a game. Use your logic.
I truly don't care to have a conversation with Berna.
I'm not kissing anybody's ass.
I don't think they're too smart if they throw me in
because I already have the experience.
And I have the anger to want to come back
even more than they do.
-Good job, everyone. -Good job.
Especially Berna.
Assuming the final is literally next, you guys.
And I think you guys are very, very, very, very smart.
When have we ever had this many girls go to a final
and we can almost guarantee a girl champ?
I'd be happy if you or you won.
BERNA: I have to think about it, really.
It's everything in it now.
It's like all the people who got me here.
I can just try to protect the people
that I want to protect.
And even though people will think
they are not in it, they might be in it.
It's a very tough decision
because it might be the last one.
I want to save all the women. I really want that.
But to be honest,
some of these women gave me hell the whole season.
So, I don't really know who I want to save right now.
If you're going to save me and Nurys or whatever, maybe,
and you guys want guaranteed people
that you want us to save, just let us know also.
I will.
We came into this game and we had this girls' alliance.
But why should Berna save the girls
when they were all giving Berna such a hard time?
♪♪ ♪♪
I'm just pissed that... because I think if my hand was--
well, it's done now,
but with my hands and feet, I think I could have won.
MORIAH: Yeah.
JAMES: To be honest, this seedy alliance side of things,
that what happened today completely (bleep) that.
-I know. -Which was good.
And in some ways, I'm happy, but in some ways, it doesn't...
It's never affected me because I've never been
involved with the politics or the social game.
But whatever happened today, whether whoever lost,
whoever won, I was still always...
Unless I won, I was always...
I wish you won. We'd be celebrating right now.
With Berna, I don't really know where she stands, you know?
One minute, she's loving someone,
next minute, she's rowing with them.
But I think I'm in the bottom because
I was always the easy target.
Let's just see what happens tomorrow
and get through it, you know?
Um, yeah.
I don't even know if I should have conversations.
I kind of feel like just not.
If someone doesn't talk to me, that's a sign, you know?
Yeah.
And then I'm just gonna
prepare myself for elimination just in case.
Yeah.
MORIAH: James, I don't even know what it is.
Sometimes you just like someone and you like being around them.
He is sweet. He's kind.
And I think James is actually elevating my game
because he's the one who's talking sense into me.
But I'm hoping that James and I are safe.
He means so much to me.
♪♪ ♪♪
So, guys, I want to say one thing.
-Maybe more. -Yeah.
Uh, I didn't know in the beginning of the season
I could make it through.
I think every one of us were thinking like that.
It was a really hard season.
But to be honest, I think all of us deserve
to be here right now, exactly this moment.
-So cheers to the final. -(cheering)
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Right now, I don't have power,
so I can't save you, Nurys, Moriah, I can't do that.
It's all on Berna.
Who's running the show now? So what do you want?
OLIVIA: Nurys, obviously, I want her to be your number one.
I hope she is, as a-- as a girl.
And I think that she deserves to be safe
more than probably any girl here,
to be honest, at this point in the game.
I-I'm surprised you haven't talked to her.
It's actually very strange.
That's why I told you I don't know where I'm at.
Olivia, you're trying to protect Nurys,
but how can I help you if you've made your own bed?
I don't really trust Olivia anymore in this game,
and I know Nurys doesn't trust Olivia either.
And for me, I know that Nurys
is kind of sitting on her own island
and she hasn't played the game with me,
but I'm still trying to protect her.
You and Nurys are, like,
best girl and guy friends back home.
Dude, you don't even need to convince me
of my own friendship, like, I agree.
I know, but she's-she's feeling iffy
and I don't want her to ever feel that way.
So let her wait till tomorrow when I say
her name and then she's fine.
OLIVIA: Nurys and Jay came in here as each other's number ones.
And their relationship is falling
into a million pieces.
But I still fully think that he has
Nurys' back and also my back.
So I'm thinking, like, wow,

Of course.
Michele, she played too many sides,
made false promises, and I was waiting for a move.
But sometimes problem solves by themselves.
Berna has a big heart.
She's thinking about who gave her a hard time,
who gave her a good time here.
So, um, yeah, it's-it's complex.
But at the end of the day, I think if you run the final,

-the whole time, too. -Yeah.
And I think they are emotional connected, so...
-Jay also kept Berna on the outside. -Because I was like,
I was directly like, "Berna, think about

JAY: I'm worried right now,
hearing that Olivia and Nurys want an all-girls final.
I've done so good this entire game, and then,
the final daily challenge, I end up in an elimination?
That would suck.
So I can't let this be an all-girls final.
Yeah. One of us four.
So therefore, we need to make a right choice right now.
EMANUEL: I know Berna
cannot save everyone, but she has
the people that she worked with that she wants to save,
and, uh, I encourage that.
And, um, I'm sorry for Nurys,
but she didn't really play
a good game to Berna.
I think Corey,
'cause he will choose Colleen and Colleen choose you
-and you choose him. -Mm-hmm.
So we are safe.
And Jay has to make a decision
between Moriah, Olivia and Nurys.
And to be very honest with you, I would love
if you would choose Moriah,
because Nurys
(bleep) swore at me,
-threatened me. -I remember that.
The thing is, I made a promise to her.
I've known her for five years.
Okay, what the (bleep), Jay?
You know what they told me?
-What? -Olivia came in and said...
I need to get a-all information
for Jay that he knows.
If he want to save Nurys, he can.
I give him the chance, but he should know
who he's going to save.
I hope he's standing with me like I stand to him.
She just told me one thing that I didn't know
I would have told you before.
Right now, it's very crucial.
This line is-- might be the last one.
And I just learned more and more about Nurys
from Colleen, and I don't like these things.
So I need to tell Jay
who this person was the whole game long.
-Tell the time... -When you were considered,
-and it was between you and Kyland... -Yeah.
...I had a conversation with Nurys.
She was the one, she was trying to convince me.

Jay has to make a decision, if he wants
to save Moriah or Nurys.
And I really think Jay
should know the truth because Nurys
was definitely trying to vote against Jay.
BERNA: You know who had your back
in this case?
JAY: I know that.
I want you to choose me right now.
JAY: I'm realizing that Nurys hasn't
protected me throughout this game.
She hasn't been voting with me, she hasn't helped me.

OLIVIA: I feel like we're good,

Berna didn't want to make any false promises,

-I will never kiss ass to nobody I don't like. -Yeah, no.
-And I... That's fair. -I'm gonna come back.
And once again, (bleep) you.
I haven't told anyone about the secret Conquest elimination
because I have the upper hand now.
You guys decided to throw me into elimination with Horacio
and Kyland, I'm the only one that came back,
and now that I'm the only one that knows about it,
I think I have the upper hand, so I'm not scared to go in.
So if you guys throw me in, then I'll take it on the chin.
The only person that I'm gonna talk to is Jay,
because that's the only person at this point
that does owe me loyalty that I should--
-I should have a conversation with. -Yeah.
OLIVIA: The last nomination,
Jay was bawling his eyeballs out
that Nurys was not safe.
I never wanted you down.
(sniffles) (bleep)

from not doing extra to protect her
is to save her in the next elimination.

NURYS: Yes, the (bleep) you did. I don't give a (bleep).

Colleen, she's the one that stirred this whole pot.
BERNA: I don't like the behavior of Nurys right now.
Maybe she's screaming because she's a-alone right now,
and it's her defense mechanism.
But also, maybe she's screaming because she feels
kind of, you know,
everything came to the surface.

EMANUEL: If I would be Nurys, I would maybe
apologize for not playing with him for the whole game.
And this way, maybe Jay is going to save her,
but no, Nurys is storming.
If you're a friend, a real friend,
you talk about it.
I'm saved anyways
with Berna and Colleen. We ride together.

COREY: I know Olivia is trying her best
to defend Nurys in this moment now
because she didn't defend Nurys when she should have.

All right.
Berna, at the last challenge,
you absolutely killed it.
By doing that, you secured safety
for yourself, and now it's decision time.
You are able to choose
one contender to save,
then they're gonna choose one contender to save and so on,
until we have three contenders left.
Then those three contenders will suit up and come with me
to a private Conquest elimination.
Keep in mind, Berna, we are danger close to the final.
Every person that you say,
you're pretty much saying that you can beat them.
Berna, who do you choose?
I had a really hard season so far,
and had-- along the way, my friends who kept me here
because I almost lost it sometimes.
So therefore, I want to stay loyal to these people.
And I want to save Corey.
I'll promise that, right now,
if you say me first, Colleen is second.
Please. Because I will go against...
You, too. I swear to God.

this decision is.

when she didn't really have a reason to.
Um, and so, today, I'm saving Colleen.
Thank you.

TJ: Colleen,
who do you save?
I will save Berna's ride-or-die.

Big decision, whoever you're choosing.
Sometimes you-you come in with friends,
and sometimes they're not as loyal to you,
and other people become loyal to you
and they play the game with you and never cross you.
So one guy is here who's never crossed me,
and I just met him here, and this is Jay.
TJ: All right, so...
Jay, it's on you now.
Who do you save?
This has been the hardest decision that I've
probably made this entire game, honestly.
I came in this game, like Emanuel said, with friends
and with people that I wanted to work with,
but during the gameplay, not based on friendship,
they didn't work with me.

Welcome to your 17th elimination
on this season of Battle for a New Champion.
Two of you will be eliminated after this.
Big stakes.
So, winner take all.
Today's elimination is three obstacle courses
with three puzzles just around that bend.
When I say go, you'll run
up and around the bend, you'll jump over some boxes
and then you'll hit three obstacle courses.
It is contender's choice on which lane you take first.
Take that obstacle,
then complete the puzzle,
grab a flag, bring it back,
plant that flag into your rack.
Continue this process for all three puzzles.
First one to get it done will win today's elimination
and stay in the game.

Nurys ever to be here,
but it's just kind of what happened,

throughout our whole friendship, I've never been malicious

Cross me once, shame on you, but cross me twice, shame on me.
And now Olivia gets to go home packing.
Karma comes back really fast
and this time her name was Nurys.
(laughs)
BERNA: Who's coming?
COREY: Nurys is here.
JAY: Nurys is extremely upset with me, obviously.
I've known Nurys out of this game,
but playing this game with Nurys,
she didn't play with me at all.
She never really had my back.
She never had power to protect me,
so it's like as much as you're mad at me,
like, you were on the other side.
So there's nothing I can do but save
the people that were actually loyal to me.
-Hello. -COREY: Hey.
Can't get rid of me.
-Welcome back. -(Nurys laughs)
-How about that one? -MORIAH: Is it only you?
Yes, it is.
-COREY: Again? -NURYS: It is just me.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Good job.
Feels great to make all you (bleep) eat your words.
Yup.
EMANUEL: I understand Nurys' rage,
but it's a little bit too much.
"Can't get rid of me." (imitates muttering)
Okay. We didn't actually try too hard.
Smiley face.
He had the best friend the whole (bleep) season.
(quiet chatter)
He obviously didn't tell me to tell you anything,
but I will say he said,
"I will not talk to Moriah if she don't kill it in the final."
That's all he told me on the bus.
That was it. He was kidding.
Hey...
Yeah.
I'm sorry. I had to do it.
No, I'm happy for you, you know?
He just was the realest person to me this whole season.
Out of everyone. Out of everyone.
So it sucks to see him go, you know?
Not saying goodbye to James makes me feel so upset because
I don't know if he's okay, I don't know if he's not okay.
And we're like BFFs,
two peas in a pod, you know?
We're different, but we're the same.
I'm hoping to see James outside of this.
I feel like he was a big part of
why this season was so great for me.
Of course I want to always have him in my life
and I hope that we still, if anything,
are friends after this.

-(air horn blows) -TJ (echoing): Nurys wins.
JAMES: I'm gutted.
It hasn't really sunk in.
But, yeah, I'm upset, is to say the least.
I've come into the game so confident.
(whoops)
The last time I did it, I went out on a freak accident.
-(air horn blows) -(people exclaiming)
JAMES: Nothing prepares you
for this.
Yeah. I'm-I'm...
Yeah.
Like, I-I will do anything to protect you.
JAMES: Moriah-- she's been the one person
that I... I fully trusted in the house,
and probably the only person I fully trusted within the house.
And, obviously, she's a great person, inside.
I'm excited to see what the future holds.
I want to see her outside the game.
I would... I'd love for her to win.
Leaving the game has
allowed me to believe in myself and I believe
that, truly, that I can achieve anything
if I believe in myself,
I back myself, and put my mind to it.
♪♪ ♪♪
I'm obviously disappointed.
I feel like I worked really, really hard to get myself here.
I played a really great social game,
and if I got through this I probably
would have made it to the final.
After everything we've been through, to see you guys
fracture would shatter my heart. Like, that is not...
that is not it.
In this game I really wanted to play,
like, "These are my people, I'm gonna stay true to my word
"and my loyalty will get loyalty
in return," and so I think that
I did that. And I, honestly,
am leaving feeling
as proud as I can be.
This season has been...
such an honor.
I'm sad that I'm going home,
but I'd be happy to see
any person up here win,
and I wish them all the best of luck.
I'm gonna have a lot of friends that are still in the game.
I hope to see my people win
and take it. And so I'm excited for them.
I wish I was running with them,
but at least I feel like I could
be a part of their journey to the win,
hopefully. So,
I'm just gonna have to take that as a mini win.
♪♪ ♪♪
OLIVIA: I came in this season really
doubting myself because...
I'm always used to having someone by my side.
(both shouting, screaming)
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Someone always had given me reassurance, and
I was scared that my reassurance of myself
wasn't gonna be enough.
(crying)
Okay? Don't cry. I love you so much.
But what I have realized throughout this game
is that I have my own voice,
and I can take responsibility for my own actions.
-I'm gonna save Moriah. -And I should have stuck to exactly what I knew
this entire time: someway, somehow,
you were gonna ... me over and anybody else.
And when you watch it back, I hope you feel
so good about yourself.
I can say that I've learned more this season
than I have the past couple years,
that I'm strong enough, that I am smart enough,
that I am a good person,
and good people still make mistakes.
Bottom line is I didn't choose you and that's (bleep).
But I wouldn't change anything, 'cause it's made me
a better person.
And a stronger person.
I have a totally different fire
under me than I did last season.
So, although maybe
it's not my time to be a champ right now,
I definitely think that I'm champ material,
and I will be one day.

TJ: This final is going to be divided into three phases
just like the season.
That's how a champion does it.
Corey, let's go!
NURYS: Corey, what the (bleep)?!
MORIAH: I'm ready to claim the throne.
TJ: Only one of you will be walking away
a Challenge champion.
-EMANUEL: A little bit more. -(cries)
