1
00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:04,538
Previously on The Challenge: USA...
2
00:00:05,506 --> 00:00:06,907
Staying loyal to an alliance...
3
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,742
Bruh, you know we got you.
4
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:10,478
...and winning challenges
have been the key
5
00:00:10,578 --> 00:00:11,812
to surviving the game
6
00:00:11,912 --> 00:00:15,015
as the final showdown
for $500,000
7
00:00:15,116 --> 00:00:16,317
gets closer than ever.
8
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:18,786
But for players
like Chris and Cassidy,
9
00:00:18,886 --> 00:00:21,455
they have had to rely
on only themselves,
10
00:00:21,555 --> 00:00:24,858
competing in multiple
eliminations to stay alive.
11
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:26,527
Cassidy wins!
12
00:00:26,627 --> 00:00:28,296
At the Brain Squeeze challenge,
13
00:00:28,396 --> 00:00:30,964
Chris left the men stunned
when he secured his safety
14
00:00:31,065 --> 00:00:33,767
and a seat
at the nomination table.
15
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:35,703
Josh hasn't earned it.
Payback's a bitch.
16
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:37,638
But it was Cassidy
17
00:00:37,738 --> 00:00:39,707
who found herself
in her third elimination
18
00:00:39,807 --> 00:00:42,110
and took away Michele's shot
at the grand prize.
19
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:44,345
Great season, Michele!
20
00:00:44,445 --> 00:00:46,180
And now,
with ten players remaining,
21
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,349
two will be sent home...
22
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:50,484
Winning today
is more important than ever,
23
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:52,253
'cause it is
a double elimination.
24
00:00:52,353 --> 00:00:55,589
...losing their chance
to compete in the final.
25
00:00:57,325 --> 00:00:58,692
Nice!
- Yeah, boy!
26
00:00:59,427 --> 00:01:00,894
Alliances will be tested,
27
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:02,796
resulting in betrayal...
28
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,401
- ...tears...
- It's like, "Fuck,
what am I gonna do?"
29
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:10,438
...and one of the biggest
blindsides of the game.
30
00:01:22,116 --> 00:01:25,453
Whatever.
31
00:01:25,553 --> 00:01:26,454
I am undefeated
32
00:01:26,554 --> 00:01:27,455
in the Arena.
33
00:01:27,555 --> 00:01:29,457
I have three elimination wins.
34
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:31,659
I told y'all
not to put me against her.
35
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:32,993
But it's just
36
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,495
such an isolating feeling
to be on the bottom
37
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:36,330
like this so close to the end.
38
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,499
As much as I want to hate
all of y'all's guts right now
39
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,568
for voting me in again,
I can't be mad,
40
00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:43,103
'cause I'm still here
and I'm fighting, baby!
41
00:01:43,204 --> 00:01:44,405
Cheers to the top ten!
42
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:46,039
Cassidy has won
three eliminations.
43
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:48,041
When her back's
against the wall, she performs.
44
00:01:48,142 --> 00:01:50,144
She's definitely had
the hardest path, and...
45
00:01:50,244 --> 00:01:52,413
out of 24 people to come
in here, only ten are left,
46
00:01:52,513 --> 00:01:55,149
and we are getting
dangerously close to that final.
47
00:01:55,249 --> 00:01:56,484
Cheers, guys.
48
00:01:56,584 --> 00:01:58,786
It's tough carrying this game
on my back, man.
49
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:07,295
We get through this one
and we're in.
50
00:02:07,395 --> 00:02:08,762
That's where I'm at.
51
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:12,200
So I just need
to get through this one.
52
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,602
Josh and I have a real
relationship on the outside.
53
00:02:14,702 --> 00:02:17,137
I'm proud of him. This is
the best he's ever looked.
54
00:02:17,238 --> 00:02:20,007
Josh is coming hard, and,
you know, that's my number one.
55
00:02:20,107 --> 00:02:22,009
You not being safe
56
00:02:22,109 --> 00:02:23,777
and still only catching
three balls,
57
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:26,314
- that's way more impressive
than what I've done.
- Yeah.
58
00:02:26,414 --> 00:02:28,115
On a social aspect.
59
00:02:28,216 --> 00:02:31,652
I owe everything to Tori,
Bananas, Fessy and Cory.
60
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:33,821
They helped me
to get this far in the game.
61
00:02:33,921 --> 00:02:35,256
Winning this game
62
00:02:35,356 --> 00:02:37,325
has become such a personal
goal and a dream of mine.
63
00:02:37,425 --> 00:02:39,427
I am a first-generation,
64
00:02:39,527 --> 00:02:41,562
and my parents literally
haven't stopped working
65
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:43,497
since the day
I think they had me.
66
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:46,099
I think that my drive
and my focus just comes
67
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,101
from wanting
to give them their dream life,
68
00:02:48,202 --> 00:02:49,603
and I haven't had
69
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,605
the opportunity financially
to do that.
70
00:02:51,705 --> 00:02:55,276
So when I say
I want to win this game,
71
00:02:55,376 --> 00:02:57,611
while the title's for me,
72
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,713
uh, the money's for my parents.
73
00:02:59,813 --> 00:03:01,215
I'm just putting myself
in a state.
74
00:03:01,315 --> 00:03:02,616
It's like,
"Finish the job, dude."
75
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:04,985
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Finish the job.
76
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:09,323
That is the cutest thing ever.
77
00:03:09,423 --> 00:03:12,326
Chanelle, why do you want
to become a Challenge champion?
78
00:03:12,426 --> 00:03:14,995
Definitely my family,
number one. Like,
79
00:03:15,095 --> 00:03:17,298
you know, I want to be able
to take care of my family.
80
00:03:17,398 --> 00:03:20,167
You know, when I did Survivor,
I lost bad.
81
00:03:20,268 --> 00:03:23,237
Mm-hmm.
- Like, I was, you know,
middle of the game, and...
82
00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:25,573
I lost a lot of my confidence.
83
00:03:25,673 --> 00:03:29,843
I have for so long
suffered from impostor syndrome
84
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:31,845
because I wasn't
a star in Survivor.
85
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,881
I was kind of mid.
86
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:37,885
You know? The girlies on Reddit
might've called me a flop.
87
00:03:37,985 --> 00:03:40,488
Do I deserve to be here? Am
I good enough to play this game?
88
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:41,489
Am I
89
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:42,523
deserving of it?
90
00:03:42,623 --> 00:03:43,891
- There's little girls...
- Mm-hmm.
91
00:03:43,991 --> 00:03:45,993
- ...little kids, little boys...
- Yeah. Yeah.
92
00:03:46,093 --> 00:03:48,696
- ...that look like me,
that look like you...
- Yeah.
93
00:03:48,796 --> 00:03:50,831
- ...that watch this, and...
- Yeah.
94
00:03:50,931 --> 00:03:52,733
- ...you're gonna be able
to relate to them...
- Yeah.
95
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:54,835
- ...and they're gonna be able
to relate to you.
- Yeah.
96
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:58,038
I've needed a win so bad
this game.
97
00:03:58,138 --> 00:03:59,273
I have not gotten one yet.
98
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:01,074
One man and one woman
99
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:04,378
will be walking away
with $250,000 each.
100
00:04:04,478 --> 00:04:06,113
I need
101
00:04:06,213 --> 00:04:07,981
a confidence booster.
I need to win something,
102
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,917
especially ahead of a final.
103
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:18,392
- Whoo!
- Yikes.
104
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:26,099
- I'm scared!
- This is awesome!
105
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,868
I see hot-air balloons.
106
00:04:27,968 --> 00:04:29,603
I see a balance beam.
107
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:31,605
I see a ladder
going up to Jesus.
108
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:33,140
I'm petrified of heights.
109
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,308
Welcome
110
00:04:34,408 --> 00:04:35,776
to your next challenge
111
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:38,412
on this season
of The Challenge: USA.
112
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:39,713
Whoo! Let's do it!
113
00:04:39,813 --> 00:04:41,749
We started with 24 players,
114
00:04:41,849 --> 00:04:43,751
and now we are down to ten.
115
00:04:43,851 --> 00:04:46,520
You've won challenges,
116
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:47,755
eliminations,
117
00:04:47,855 --> 00:04:48,989
and some of you
118
00:04:49,089 --> 00:04:50,724
have even won
multiple eliminations.
119
00:04:51,859 --> 00:04:54,127
And that has all led you here.
120
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:58,632
If you make it through today
121
00:04:58,732 --> 00:04:59,767
with a win...
122
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:02,570
...then you've made it
to my final.
123
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:07,140
If you win
this challenge, you are going
124
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,410
to the final,
and no one can take it from you.
125
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:11,211
If you don't win,
there is a chance
126
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,246
that you will be fighting
for your life.
127
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:15,048
Let's get to it. All right,
128
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:17,418
today's challenge is called
Burst Your Bubble.
129
00:05:18,419 --> 00:05:20,287
This is a timed event.
130
00:05:20,388 --> 00:05:23,156
As you can see, we have
two massive hot-air balloons.
131
00:05:23,256 --> 00:05:25,826
You're gonna start on
the ground, and when I say go,
132
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:28,929
you will race up a rope ladder
40 feet.
133
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:31,331
When you get to the top
of the ladder, get ready,
134
00:05:31,432 --> 00:05:32,966
because, one at a time,
135
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,869
you're gonna race
across a very narrow beam
136
00:05:35,969 --> 00:05:37,705
to the opposite hot-air balloon.
137
00:05:37,805 --> 00:05:39,540
Once you tag that basket,
138
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,941
your time has stopped.
139
00:05:41,041 --> 00:05:42,342
The fastest man
140
00:05:42,443 --> 00:05:44,745
and fastest woman
to get it done today
141
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:46,480
is going straight to the final.
142
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,617
Oh, and one more thing--
winning today
143
00:05:49,717 --> 00:05:51,819
is more important than ever,
144
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:54,588
'cause it is
a double elimination.
145
00:05:56,089 --> 00:05:57,591
A double elimination is
146
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:00,027
a dagger to the chest, because
if your name gets nominated,
147
00:06:00,127 --> 00:06:02,329
you're going in no matter what.
148
00:06:03,330 --> 00:06:05,232
It is crucial for me
149
00:06:05,332 --> 00:06:07,000
to either get this win
150
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,169
or somebody that I trust
to get this win.
151
00:06:09,269 --> 00:06:10,404
Good luck.
152
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:18,011
Faysal, Cassidy,
you ready?!
153
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,947
Go!
154
00:06:24,151 --> 00:06:25,853
- So big. Covering ground.
- He's so fast.
155
00:06:25,953 --> 00:06:29,056
This challenge is gonna
come down to who can climb
156
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:30,891
a rope ladder the fastest
157
00:06:30,991 --> 00:06:31,892
and walk across
158
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:33,226
a tight beam the fastest.
159
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:34,828
I have the ladder sideways.
160
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:36,697
I'm skipping two pegs at a time,
161
00:06:36,797 --> 00:06:37,865
and I'm at a good pace.
162
00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:39,833
Yeah, Faysal. Nice.
163
00:06:41,535 --> 00:06:43,336
You got it, Cassidy!
164
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:44,838
Cassidy struggles up the ladder.
165
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:48,241
So, to me, this looks like
it's really hard.
166
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:50,478
I'm shaking in my boots,
to be quite honest.
167
00:07:05,559 --> 00:07:07,895
- Good job, Fess! Great work!
- Oh, my God.
168
00:07:07,995 --> 00:07:09,563
Beat that one!
169
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:16,804
You'll be fine, Cass.
You'll be fine.
170
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:20,273
Here I am, fighting for my life.
171
00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:22,342
It's wobbling.
172
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,577
There's wind blowing.
173
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:24,812
This is
174
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:26,580
the craziest moment of my life,
I think.
175
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,783
- You got it. Lean, lean, lean.
- There you go. Good job, Cass.
176
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,422
Cory, Desi, you ready?! Go!
177
00:07:37,224 --> 00:07:39,159
There couldn't be
a more important challenge
178
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:40,060
than the one we're doing now.
179
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,595
If you win this,
180
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,430
you punch your ticket
to the final.
181
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:47,367
Whoo!
182
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,069
Yeah...!
183
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:50,370
Nice!
184
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:51,605
Get it done, baby!
185
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,774
Got to go. Got to go.
186
00:07:53,874 --> 00:07:55,042
You got this, Des.
187
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:56,810
- Oh. Hold it together.
- Ooh!
188
00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:58,812
- Hold it together.
- Oh!
189
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:00,914
Here we go!
190
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:03,984
Whoo!
191
00:08:05,586 --> 00:08:06,987
Josh, Chanelle, you ready?!
192
00:08:07,087 --> 00:08:09,322
Go!
193
00:08:11,358 --> 00:08:12,860
This is for my life
194
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,595
in this game,
and I have to win it.
195
00:08:14,695 --> 00:08:16,496
And it would just be devastating
196
00:08:16,597 --> 00:08:19,399
to fall short
this close to a final.
197
00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,302
Bring it home. Bring it home.
198
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:25,405
Yeah!
199
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,407
All I'm thinking is,
200
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,977
get across this beam
as fast as possible,
201
00:08:30,077 --> 00:08:33,814
because every single guy got
across that beam pretty quick.
202
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:36,650
If I slip, I'm out,
and then I basically lose today.
203
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:40,453
Oh!
204
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:42,255
Oh, my God, dude.
205
00:08:45,392 --> 00:08:46,627
Yes.
206
00:08:46,727 --> 00:08:47,995
Well done, Josh!
207
00:08:49,296 --> 00:08:50,998
Chris and Tori, you ready?!
208
00:08:51,098 --> 00:08:53,133
Go!
209
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:59,039
I feel like Fessy
might have the fastest time
210
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:00,741
climbing the ladder, but Chris
211
00:09:00,841 --> 00:09:01,742
is doing good, too.
212
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:07,615
You go, Chris!
213
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:10,017
If Chris wins, that is
214
00:09:10,117 --> 00:09:12,152
the worst-case scenario
for the guys.
215
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:14,822
'Cause we know one of us
is gonna be nominated,
216
00:09:14,922 --> 00:09:16,389
and the other ones
are gonna have
217
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:17,991
to politick against each other.
218
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,997
This is a $250,000 traverse.
219
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:26,066
I've been on balance beams before.
220
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:27,801
I just have to not look down.
221
00:09:29,637 --> 00:09:31,639
Nice, Chris!
222
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:33,707
Nice! Yeah, Chris!
223
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:35,408
- That is fast!
- Good job, Chris!
224
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:36,710
Let's go!
225
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,278
Well done!
226
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:39,880
Even though Chris
227
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:43,116
might've been a second or two
faster than me on this beam,
228
00:09:43,216 --> 00:09:44,885
I saw him slip on that ladder.
229
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:51,358
I'm just praying
230
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:54,561
that my rope ladder climb
made up for the time
231
00:09:54,662 --> 00:09:55,763
he beat me on the beam.
232
00:09:57,297 --> 00:09:59,532
I don't really know
who I can trust.
233
00:09:59,633 --> 00:10:01,234
And when this is
the last elimination,
234
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:02,936
all bets are off.
235
00:10:03,036 --> 00:10:05,372
Run to it, run to it.
run to it!
Nice! Nice!
236
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:06,774
Tori goes
237
00:10:06,874 --> 00:10:07,775
really fast.
238
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:09,442
I want myself to win.
239
00:10:09,542 --> 00:10:11,211
This is the day to do or die.
240
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:14,547
All right, Bananas, Michaela,
241
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:16,183
you ready?!
242
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:17,785
Go!
243
00:10:17,885 --> 00:10:19,953
The pressure on me
244
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:21,855
is probably greater than
245
00:10:21,955 --> 00:10:24,224
just about everyone in the house
whose name isn't Chris.
246
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:25,793
I am an unstoppable force
247
00:10:25,893 --> 00:10:28,628
in a final.
So if I don't win safety,
248
00:10:28,729 --> 00:10:29,830
chances are I'm gonna
249
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:31,899
be seeing myself
in the final elimination.
250
00:10:31,999 --> 00:10:33,701
So today's a must-win.
251
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:39,239
Bananas and Michaela are neck
and neck going up the ladder.
252
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:40,908
Like, Michaela
should be a firefighter.
253
00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:43,744
I've never seen somebody
climb a ladder that fast.
254
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:46,113
She's afraid of heights,
so I'm really hoping
255
00:10:46,213 --> 00:10:48,181
that, you know,
she decides maybe she doesn't
256
00:10:48,281 --> 00:10:50,884
want to walk on the beam.
257
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:56,957
Oh!
258
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:01,695
Good job, Bananas.
259
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:03,096
Well done.
260
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:12,105
Once I reach the top,
I can't help but to look down.
261
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,307
I freak out.
262
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:19,346
It's just breathe
to calm myself down.
263
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:22,115
And pray for some courage,
'cause this is not something
264
00:11:22,215 --> 00:11:25,452
that I'm finding
any joy in at all.
265
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:29,757
No more heights!
266
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:38,065
I have to find a way
267
00:11:38,165 --> 00:11:40,167
to get myself focused,
but I'm freaking out.
268
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,212
Yeah!
269
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:57,284
Go! There you go, baby! Come on!
270
00:11:57,384 --> 00:11:59,219
Michaela is an anomaly.
271
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:02,389
Generally, when people
are afraid to do something,
272
00:12:02,489 --> 00:12:06,059
their fear overwhelms
their ability to perform.
273
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:09,362
Michaela is wired
the exact opposite.
274
00:12:09,462 --> 00:12:12,499
The more terrified Michaela is,
the better she performs.
275
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:15,235
You got this, Michaela!
You got it!
276
00:12:15,335 --> 00:12:16,703
Get there!
277
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:20,040
Nice.
278
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:22,876
Nice job, Michaela.
Well done!
279
00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:28,615
What a challenge, huh?
280
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,583
- Yeah. Good job, guys.
- Awesome.
281
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,552
Good job, guys.
282
00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:35,055
Congratulations to all of you.
That was awesome.
283
00:12:35,155 --> 00:12:37,290
Now, 14 seconds
284
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:39,059
separated the top two women.
285
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,128
The top two women
286
00:12:41,228 --> 00:12:43,763
were Michaela and Tori.
287
00:12:43,864 --> 00:12:48,701
But the one woman that is moving
on to my final right now...
288
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:52,973
...is Michaela.
289
00:12:55,042 --> 00:12:57,444
- Good job.
- Good job, girl.
290
00:12:57,544 --> 00:12:59,146
I'm just very proud of myself.
291
00:12:59,246 --> 00:13:01,949
My goal was to go
from being first out
292
00:13:02,049 --> 00:13:04,451
on my first season
to getting into this final.
293
00:13:04,551 --> 00:13:06,153
So I guess now it's time
294
00:13:06,253 --> 00:13:08,856
to 10X this goal
and go for the win.
295
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:10,323
For the men,
296
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,226
two men were separated
297
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:15,528
by three seconds.
298
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:20,100
Those two men were Faysal...
299
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:22,702
...and Chris.
300
00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:27,574
But the one man who just
punched their ticket
301
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:29,609
to my final...
302
00:13:32,045 --> 00:13:32,913
...is Chris.
303
00:13:45,058 --> 00:13:46,493
What a ride this has been.
304
00:13:46,593 --> 00:13:48,695
The adversity,
what I had to go through,
305
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:50,530
the house turning on me, like,
306
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,632
being in the elimination arena
again and again
307
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:55,368
and again has just made
308
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:57,304
this so much more special
for me.
309
00:13:57,404 --> 00:14:00,507
I've had to earn every minute
in here and...
310
00:14:00,607 --> 00:14:01,875
I'm ready
to win this whole thing.
311
00:14:01,975 --> 00:14:03,310
Congratulations to you two.
312
00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:05,378
You are now safe
from elimination.
313
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:08,015
You are now in the final.
314
00:14:08,115 --> 00:14:10,017
But you still have a job to do.
315
00:14:10,117 --> 00:14:13,053
Because we have
a double elimination to get to.
316
00:14:13,153 --> 00:14:15,022
I need Chris and Michaela
317
00:14:15,122 --> 00:14:18,025
as the winners to select
one man and one woman
318
00:14:18,125 --> 00:14:19,692
to send into the Arena
319
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:21,394
where they will be competing
320
00:14:21,494 --> 00:14:22,729
in the double elimination.
321
00:14:22,829 --> 00:14:24,164
Chris, I really don't know
322
00:14:24,264 --> 00:14:25,632
what he's gonna do.
323
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:28,969
He can obviously
target me again and put me
324
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:32,039
down in the sand,
or he can make a bigger move.
325
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:34,141
The rest of you will
then go back to the house.
326
00:14:34,241 --> 00:14:36,977
When that signal lights up,
one at a time, you will place
327
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:38,811
two votes into the Hopper.
328
00:14:38,912 --> 00:14:42,215
One man and one woman to take
on the two nominated players.
329
00:14:42,315 --> 00:14:44,317
- Got it?
- Got it.
330
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:46,119
Get out of here.
331
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:58,932
Good job, Michaela.
332
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:00,300
We'll see.
333
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,734
Bananas.
334
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:04,337
You're like the gift
that keeps on giving, man.
335
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:10,743
If this dude lets
a seven-time champ slide.
336
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:13,146
I know he's your friend,
337
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:14,948
but we're all friends,
you feel me?
338
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:16,316
So I'm just speaking facts here.
339
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:18,385
It'd be nice going into a final
340
00:15:18,485 --> 00:15:21,021
where no one has won.
341
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:23,556
I'm just, like, mentally
putting myself in this space.
342
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:26,593
I want Josh to be
there in the final with me.
343
00:15:26,693 --> 00:15:29,129
I think he would excel
in a final. I truly do.
344
00:15:29,229 --> 00:15:32,765
And for elimination tonight
what haven't we seen yet?
345
00:15:32,865 --> 00:15:35,868
A Challenge staple, Hall Brawl.
346
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:40,607
Hall Brawl is the most
intense game I've ever played.
347
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:43,443
This is
my all-time favorite game.
348
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:44,777
Go!
349
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,881
Ooh!
350
00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:59,092
The last thing I want to do
is go against
351
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:02,362
my boy Josh or my boy Cory
in a Hall Brawl.
352
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:04,364
If it is a Hall Brawl,
353
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:07,034
the hall is so skinny
354
00:16:07,134 --> 00:16:09,802
that you're gonna be
wearing shoulder pads,
355
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,838
and you can't even go
in there without--
356
00:16:11,938 --> 00:16:13,640
- Bending your shoulder?
- Yeah.
357
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:15,208
Because your shoulder pads
will hit.
358
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:17,344
That's how skinny it is, so...
359
00:16:17,444 --> 00:16:19,912
It's, it's about as wide
as your shoulders are.
360
00:16:20,013 --> 00:16:23,283
So you better get low
or take a leap.
361
00:16:23,383 --> 00:16:25,252
Yeah.
362
00:16:32,525 --> 00:16:36,029
- Welcome to the final
nomination of the season.
- The final!
363
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,698
Michaela and I, two Survivors,
364
00:16:38,798 --> 00:16:40,967
we secure our spot in the final.
365
00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:44,271
We have proven that Survivors,
366
00:16:44,371 --> 00:16:46,106
they can come
into The Challenge House
367
00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:47,607
and they can kick some ass.
368
00:16:47,707 --> 00:16:49,042
Let's get into it.
369
00:16:49,142 --> 00:16:51,178
Who is your first pick
370
00:16:51,278 --> 00:16:54,013
- for a female nomination?
- For first pick for me
is Cassidy.
371
00:16:54,114 --> 00:16:57,817
To guard myself against
the potential of me and Tori
372
00:16:57,917 --> 00:17:01,321
going against each other
in the final elimination,
373
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:03,090
I made a pact with her.
374
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:06,259
No matter who comes back
next week for girls,
375
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,228
- that person's main vote.
- 100%.
376
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:09,862
- Shake on that?
- And then-- Okay, cool.
377
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,698
Everybody feels the same.
378
00:17:11,798 --> 00:17:13,400
- Yeah, yeah.
- On that one.
379
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,669
I'm not really inclined to...
380
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:18,371
go back on my word.
381
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:20,006
For the guys.
382
00:17:21,274 --> 00:17:23,510
At this point, for me, Bananas.
383
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:27,046
- He's still probably
gonna get votes anyways.
- Yeah.
384
00:17:27,147 --> 00:17:29,349
- 100%.
- So...
385
00:17:29,449 --> 00:17:30,550
then it's down to Cory
386
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:33,253
- and Fess, uh, and Josh.
- Yeah.
387
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:36,256
Faysal's, you know, we've been
388
00:17:36,356 --> 00:17:39,392
rooming together, but he told me
he wasn't gonna vote for me,
389
00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:42,162
then nominated me twice.
390
00:17:42,262 --> 00:17:43,763
I don't know,
I kind of want to see
391
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:45,698
the big boys go at it.
392
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:48,101
By nominating Fess,
393
00:17:48,201 --> 00:17:50,103
it's going to put
394
00:17:50,203 --> 00:17:53,340
all of the vets
in a very tough place.
395
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,376
This is payback.
After getting ganged up on,
396
00:17:56,476 --> 00:17:59,379
if there's a time to strike,
now is the time.
397
00:17:59,479 --> 00:18:02,014
And I'm gonna definitely
hit where it hurts.
398
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:17,864
- It is time.
- All right.
399
00:18:17,964 --> 00:18:19,699
Glad I'm safe on this one.
400
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:24,103
Yeah, it's not
a matchup you want to see.
401
00:18:27,207 --> 00:18:28,775
Damn. I was not
expecting that.
402
00:18:28,875 --> 00:18:31,744
- Oh, shit.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
403
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:35,282
It's official. Chris
and Michaela nominated me.
404
00:18:35,382 --> 00:18:38,985
My first nomination
all season long. Rut-roh.
405
00:18:39,085 --> 00:18:41,188
Now I just got to get
my mind ready for tonight
406
00:18:41,288 --> 00:18:44,957
because I'm 100%
going into elimination.
407
00:18:47,026 --> 00:18:48,795
What the fuck?
408
00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:55,535
I did not expect that.
409
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:57,804
I really thought
it was me or you.
410
00:18:57,904 --> 00:19:00,207
- Dude, I can't vote for you.
- I'm not voting for you.
411
00:19:00,307 --> 00:19:02,209
You know 100%
I'm not voting for you.
412
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:03,643
I don't know
what Fessy's gonna want.
413
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:05,512
He's gonna ask for me.
414
00:19:05,612 --> 00:19:07,079
I won't do it, dude.
415
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:09,182
I'll vote on myself
before I vote for you.
416
00:19:09,282 --> 00:19:10,650
No, why would you vote
on yourself?
417
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:12,252
Vote Cory, what do you owe him?
418
00:19:12,352 --> 00:19:14,821
Now that Fessy has been
nominated and targeted,
419
00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:17,257
I know the best move
is that I should just say
420
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:19,859
Cory because I owe Cory nothing
and while we are friends,
421
00:19:19,959 --> 00:19:21,894
I have a stronger bond
with Bananas.
422
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:23,596
But Cory is a really strong guy
423
00:19:23,696 --> 00:19:25,998
and Fessy doesn't want
to go against him in something
424
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:28,501
physical because Cory
might be able to beat him.
425
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:30,970
I know Fessy's not gonna
want me to say Cory.
426
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:32,739
Well, too bad. He knows
427
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:34,541
that you and I
are friends outside of this.
428
00:19:34,641 --> 00:19:36,876
He can't expect you to do that.
429
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:40,179
I'm 100% going to be the odds-on
favorite to be catching balls.
430
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,816
However, myself,
Tori, and Josh have been
431
00:19:43,916 --> 00:19:45,918
working side by side
this entire game.
432
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:48,655
Cory's kind of like
the odd man out here.
433
00:19:48,755 --> 00:19:51,724
So where's the difficulty
in making this decision?
434
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:53,960
I'm not gonna,
435
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:56,263
I don't care what he says,
though. Trust me.
436
00:19:56,363 --> 00:19:59,932
I put that
on my grandfather in heaven
437
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,535
that I... I will never,
ever vote for you.
438
00:20:02,635 --> 00:20:04,036
I don't care what he says.
439
00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,541
They must want
some fireworks tonight, man.
440
00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:11,444
It's tonight?
Yeah.
441
00:20:15,682 --> 00:20:17,450
Fessy comes up to me
and lets me know
442
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,218
I had a deal with him and Cory.
443
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:21,120
Fessy's won
and didn't throw me in.
444
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,823
Cory's won and didn't
throw me in and I told them
445
00:20:23,923 --> 00:20:25,992
that when the time came,
I would repay them.
446
00:20:26,092 --> 00:20:28,428
I'm really stuck in-between
voting for Bananas
447
00:20:28,528 --> 00:20:30,229
or Josh at this point and...
448
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:32,031
throwing Josh against Faysal?
449
00:20:32,131 --> 00:20:34,301
Like, dude, I almost feel
like I'm sending
450
00:20:34,401 --> 00:20:36,603
my friend home in a stretcher
if it's something physical.
451
00:20:36,703 --> 00:20:38,204
I'm gonna need your help
on this too, you know?
452
00:20:38,305 --> 00:20:39,939
Yeah.
- Like, I don't--
453
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:44,243
- I can repay it, I can repay it.
- Yeah, for sure.
454
00:20:44,344 --> 00:20:46,078
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
455
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:48,615
- Yeah. Yeah, of course.
- Appreciate you.
456
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:57,657
You want to talk real quick?
457
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:00,126
Well, there's nothing
really to talk about.
458
00:21:01,894 --> 00:21:04,263
It's either you fuck me
or you don't really.
459
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:06,533
You know what I mean?
460
00:21:06,633 --> 00:21:08,501
I have to basically
choose between
461
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:11,538
what Fessy wants,
which is nominating Bananas
462
00:21:11,638 --> 00:21:15,041
for him to go up against
or to nominate Cory.
463
00:21:15,141 --> 00:21:17,276
I can't, I can't do Johnny.
464
00:21:17,377 --> 00:21:19,546
If you vote Cory,
you're fucking both of us.
465
00:21:19,646 --> 00:21:21,814
I don't want
to vote, either, dude.
466
00:21:21,914 --> 00:21:24,016
Then what...?
467
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:25,685
- What are you...
- I can't vote Johnny.
468
00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:27,387
Dude, he's a good friend
of mine.
469
00:21:27,487 --> 00:21:29,822
He's helped me so much,
personally, in this game.
470
00:21:29,922 --> 00:21:32,825
I can't-- that's like how close
you and Cory have gotten.
471
00:21:32,925 --> 00:21:35,795
- He's like-- I can't vote him.
- Do what you got to do, bro.
472
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:38,097
If he says Cory
because he's closer
473
00:21:38,197 --> 00:21:41,501
with Bananas, that's like
taking a shot at me,
474
00:21:41,601 --> 00:21:43,169
because you're pinning
475
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:46,105
one of my boys-- who's
really good at eliminations--
476
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:47,640
against me in something
477
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:52,211
we all know is most likely
gonna be something physical.
478
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,548
Giving me Bananas
is my best chance at returning
479
00:21:55,648 --> 00:21:57,684
because he's ten years older
than me.
480
00:21:57,784 --> 00:22:00,319
Me and Cory
both weigh about 220.
481
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:02,288
Bananas is probably 185.
482
00:22:02,389 --> 00:22:05,992
So this decision
is gonna dictate
483
00:22:06,092 --> 00:22:07,960
our friendship moving forward.
484
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:12,532
Are you okay? Come here.
485
00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:14,367
I got Fessy asking me one thing,
486
00:22:14,467 --> 00:22:16,503
but then I don't want
to cross Bananas.
487
00:22:16,603 --> 00:22:18,337
- You know? And I just feel bad.
- Yeah.
488
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:20,773
Yeah.
489
00:22:20,873 --> 00:22:23,410
I'm happy because,
you know, God willingly,
490
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,177
- I don't have to go up
against him...
- Yeah.
491
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:26,779
...'cause he's one
of my best friends
492
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:28,748
and I don't want
to have to do that,
493
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:30,517
but it's like, fuck,
what am I gonna do?
494
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:32,752
The thing is, is I love Josh.
495
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:34,086
I don't think he would
ever say my name,
496
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,222
but I might have to vote
for him.
497
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:46,232
Oh!
498
00:22:56,709 --> 00:23:01,013
Today is a double
elimination, which means that
499
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:04,283
we're gonna have to put up
both a male and female name
500
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:06,986
to go against Fessy and Cassidy.
501
00:23:07,086 --> 00:23:08,387
It's gonna be a bloodbath.
502
00:23:08,488 --> 00:23:12,224
Cory? Fuck off.
503
00:23:12,324 --> 00:23:15,227
Desi, goodbye.
504
00:23:15,327 --> 00:23:17,464
Bananas is a seven-time champ.
505
00:23:17,564 --> 00:23:19,098
You got to go, man.
506
00:23:19,198 --> 00:23:21,634
I need to get
that championship belt.
507
00:23:25,438 --> 00:23:28,174
There is one girl who has
not been in the Arena yet.
508
00:23:28,274 --> 00:23:30,510
I'm voting for Chanelle.
509
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:33,179
Chanelle is the most
evenly matched person to me,
510
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,248
so I am hoping to see
Chanelle's ball.
511
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,618
But I-- at this point,
I will literally take on
512
00:23:38,718 --> 00:23:40,753
any of these girls.
I don't care.
513
00:23:46,325 --> 00:23:48,127
For girls,
I'm gonna do Chanelle,
514
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:50,062
'cause she hasn't been in yet.
515
00:23:51,063 --> 00:23:52,699
For guys...
516
00:23:58,538 --> 00:24:00,840
Oh, my God.
517
00:24:02,509 --> 00:24:04,410
Coming into this secret vote,
518
00:24:04,511 --> 00:24:07,413
this is the hardest one
that I've had to do
519
00:24:07,514 --> 00:24:09,148
the whole entire game.
520
00:24:09,248 --> 00:24:10,550
No matter what,
I'm going to hurt
521
00:24:10,650 --> 00:24:12,451
one of my relationships
522
00:24:12,552 --> 00:24:14,453
or lose one of my friendships
with these guys.
523
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:28,300
I am struggling really bad.
524
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,436
I literally have
a pit in my stomach.
525
00:24:39,445 --> 00:24:40,880
I hate this game.
526
00:24:46,753 --> 00:24:49,121
What, Josh?
527
00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:57,930
What the fuck
is wrong with you?
528
00:25:01,568 --> 00:25:04,036
I am absolutely mind-blown.
529
00:25:04,136 --> 00:25:06,906
You've literally sworn
on the life of family members
530
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:08,741
that you're not
gonna say my name.
531
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:12,378
I put that on my grandfather
in heaven
532
00:25:12,478 --> 00:25:14,881
that I w-- I will never,
ever vote for you.
533
00:25:14,981 --> 00:25:17,283
I literally looked at this man,
534
00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:20,419
whom I've looked out for
in this game,
535
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,054
outside of this game,
536
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:24,356
someone who has made
every promise
537
00:25:24,456 --> 00:25:26,793
in every single way
under the book
538
00:25:26,893 --> 00:25:29,428
to never say my name, knowing
539
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:31,097
that this final elimination
540
00:25:31,197 --> 00:25:33,032
is potentially
gonna be something
541
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:36,869
that I am basically gonna be
outmanned and outgunned in.
542
00:25:36,969 --> 00:25:38,805
By him saying my name
is literally sending me
543
00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:40,539
directly to the wolves.
544
00:25:44,343 --> 00:25:46,779
Bananas is somebody that has
545
00:25:46,879 --> 00:25:49,916
helped me so much
on a personal level.
546
00:25:50,016 --> 00:25:53,352
So to look at him
and to not even be able
547
00:25:53,452 --> 00:25:58,290
to say... anything,
just, I feel so bad.
548
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:00,693
But I, for once,
need to put myself first
549
00:26:00,793 --> 00:26:02,862
and realize, what is
the best decision for me
550
00:26:02,962 --> 00:26:06,432
and how do I give myself the
best shot at winning this game?
551
00:26:08,534 --> 00:26:10,603
You're not a sellout.
You needed to do this, Josh.
552
00:26:10,703 --> 00:26:12,972
Come here. Come here.
You're not a sellout, dude.
553
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:15,274
Don't let, don't let anybody
make you feel that way, dude.
554
00:26:15,374 --> 00:26:17,176
I voted for you.
You know what I mean?
555
00:26:17,276 --> 00:26:18,745
Like, think about that.
You could be, you...
556
00:26:18,845 --> 00:26:20,346
Like, I don't even know
with this game.
557
00:26:20,446 --> 00:26:22,581
It's fucking turned me
into somebody that I'm not.
558
00:26:22,682 --> 00:26:24,851
Stop. Josh, this is not
the energy.
559
00:26:24,951 --> 00:26:26,485
- This is not it, right...
- I know, man.
560
00:26:26,585 --> 00:26:28,788
- I'm gonna snap out of it.
- Yeah.
561
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:35,594
That's not true.
562
00:26:35,695 --> 00:26:37,029
Enough, Josh.
563
00:26:37,129 --> 00:26:38,831
Just enough, dude.
564
00:26:40,867 --> 00:26:42,902
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
565
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:47,406
Sorry? W-What are you
sorry for him...
566
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:49,842
I voted for him.
- Why?
567
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:52,712
- Because I made a deal.
- What-what is wrong
with the two of you?
568
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:55,782
Why would you vote for him?
569
00:26:55,882 --> 00:26:58,851
- I made a deal with Cory.
- Why would you vote...
570
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:00,920
He literally fought Michaela
571
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,855
to make me not go in
that one week,
572
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,623
and I said, "I'll pay you back
when the time comes."
573
00:27:06,258 --> 00:27:08,027
Dude, I don't know, man.
574
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,663
I just have-- I-I've just...
play a different way.
575
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:13,199
Where I come from, when you say
something, you mean it.
576
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:15,835
Okay, well,
I'll let you guys pack.
577
00:27:15,935 --> 00:27:20,039
Josh, your word from here on out
is worth fuck-all, dude.
578
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:22,041
For real.
579
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:23,843
Instantly, I feel this regret,
580
00:27:23,943 --> 00:27:25,745
and I wish I could take it back.
581
00:27:25,845 --> 00:27:27,947
This makes no sense to me.
582
00:27:29,615 --> 00:27:31,483
I think it's-- was just,
583
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:35,387
like, the desperation
of wanting to get to a final.
584
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,905
It feels good
to be locked into the final,
585
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:55,341
and I'm just stoked that,
uh, I don't have to go in
586
00:27:55,441 --> 00:27:57,376
and fight for my life tonight.
587
00:27:57,476 --> 00:27:59,078
Whoo!
There it is.
588
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:01,748
Walking into the Arena,
589
00:28:01,848 --> 00:28:04,683
you see a hallway, and I love
590
00:28:04,784 --> 00:28:07,720
a good old classic Hall Brawl.
591
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:11,257
It's gonna be a banger in there,
and it's gonna get ugly tonight.
592
00:28:11,357 --> 00:28:12,491
All right, everyone.
593
00:28:12,591 --> 00:28:13,826
Welcome to your
final elimination
594
00:28:13,926 --> 00:28:15,762
here in the Arena
595
00:28:15,862 --> 00:28:18,030
on this season
of The Challenge: USA.
596
00:28:22,368 --> 00:28:24,871
Chris and Michaela,
597
00:28:24,971 --> 00:28:27,073
as the winners of the challenge,
598
00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:30,376
not only did you secure your
ticket to the final, but also,
599
00:28:30,476 --> 00:28:34,080
you had to nominate
one man and one woman
600
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,216
to send into the Arena
and fight for their right
601
00:28:37,316 --> 00:28:38,818
to stay in the game.
602
00:28:38,918 --> 00:28:43,089
You chose Faysal and Cassidy.
Come on out.
603
00:28:46,826 --> 00:28:49,028
I've been down here before, I've
done this three times already,
604
00:28:49,128 --> 00:28:51,563
I've been in the stand
potentially going in six times.
605
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:53,766
Um, so this is nothing new
to me.
606
00:28:53,866 --> 00:28:55,301
I feel like I'm at home,
607
00:28:55,401 --> 00:28:56,969
and I'm ready to get
my four-and-O win.
608
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:59,438
The rest of you had
to come back to the house
609
00:28:59,538 --> 00:29:03,709
and place a vote
by putting names in the Hopper.
610
00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:06,846
Let's see how
that vote worked out.
611
00:29:09,849 --> 00:29:11,617
We'll start it off
with the women.
612
00:29:11,717 --> 00:29:12,618
Tori...
613
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,421
...two votes.
614
00:29:16,555 --> 00:29:18,424
Desi...
615
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:21,093
...one vote.
616
00:29:21,193 --> 00:29:23,062
Chanelle...
617
00:29:25,631 --> 00:29:27,566
...five votes.
618
00:29:29,035 --> 00:29:30,469
All right.
619
00:29:30,569 --> 00:29:32,638
Let's check out what it has
to say for the men.
620
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,141
Cory...
621
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:37,844
...one vote.
622
00:29:38,911 --> 00:29:41,814
two votes.
623
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:45,784
And Bananas...
624
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:51,590
...five votes.
625
00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:54,861
Whoa.
I'm in a very bad
position right now.
626
00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:58,130
For me, this has been
such a turbulent season.
627
00:29:58,230 --> 00:29:59,966
To make it this far into a game
628
00:30:00,066 --> 00:30:04,003
and to not at least
make it to a final
629
00:30:04,103 --> 00:30:06,438
would be
an absolutely devastating blow.
630
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:09,775
Well, Chanelle, Bananas, looks
like they're coming for you.
631
00:30:10,977 --> 00:30:12,578
Let's see what the Hopper
has to say.
632
00:30:13,579 --> 00:30:14,847
Good luck to you all.
633
00:30:26,192 --> 00:30:27,593
One ball is literally
634
00:30:27,693 --> 00:30:29,561
all it takes to get sent
into the Arena.
635
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:32,331
You never know what the Hopper
is gonna spit out.
636
00:30:32,431 --> 00:30:34,166
So I'm feeling
a little flustered,
637
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:36,168
I'm feeling a little nervous,
I'm feeling a little scared.
638
00:30:52,784 --> 00:30:54,720
Bananas is
my biggest competition
639
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:56,989
because he's a seven-time champ.
640
00:30:57,089 --> 00:30:58,925
I don't want to see him
in the final.
641
00:30:59,025 --> 00:31:00,259
I got to see him
out of this game.
642
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:01,894
All right.
643
00:31:01,994 --> 00:31:03,729
The Hopper has spoken.
644
00:31:03,829 --> 00:31:05,231
Cassidy,
645
00:31:05,331 --> 00:31:07,233
tonight you are playing...
646
00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:11,137
...Chanelle.
647
00:31:12,771 --> 00:31:15,607
I am a little bit nervous
going against Cassidy.
648
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:17,776
She's seen an elimination
three times
649
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,012
going on four, and I have never
650
00:31:20,112 --> 00:31:21,713
touched the sand.
651
00:31:21,813 --> 00:31:24,016
And it looks like
it's gonna be a Hall Brawl,
652
00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:25,584
but I see a puzzle board.
653
00:31:25,684 --> 00:31:27,253
I am not good at puzzles.
654
00:31:27,353 --> 00:31:28,420
All right, Faysal.
655
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,856
Tonight, you're playing...
656
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:43,502
All right, Faysal.
Tonight, you're playing...
657
00:31:48,207 --> 00:31:49,508
Josh.
658
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:53,212
You're coming down.
659
00:31:53,312 --> 00:31:55,381
How in the hell
660
00:31:55,481 --> 00:31:58,017
did Bananas beat the Hopper?
661
00:31:58,117 --> 00:32:01,253
You know, I can't really believe
that Josh is going down there,
662
00:32:01,353 --> 00:32:03,622
and it's a Hall Brawl
against his brother.
663
00:32:03,722 --> 00:32:06,125
This is gonna be tough to watch.
664
00:32:11,097 --> 00:32:13,132
I feel like I'm having, like,
an out-of-body experience.
665
00:32:13,232 --> 00:32:17,203
The "friend"
who just betrayed me
666
00:32:17,303 --> 00:32:20,772
is the one that is now gonna
have to face his best friend?
667
00:32:20,872 --> 00:32:23,509
Karma just bit him
squarely in the ass.
668
00:32:23,609 --> 00:32:27,679
And this is the absolute
greatest case
669
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:31,717
of poetic justice I think I've
ever seen in my entire life.
670
00:32:31,817 --> 00:32:34,253
It just sucks that it had
to come down to this.
671
00:32:34,353 --> 00:32:35,821
Both of us aren't gonna run
the final together,
672
00:32:35,921 --> 00:32:38,024
but, you know, hopefully,
whoever goes back
673
00:32:38,124 --> 00:32:40,226
into that house
can-can win the money.
674
00:32:40,326 --> 00:32:42,228
Faysal, Josh,
675
00:32:42,328 --> 00:32:43,895
Chanelle, Cassidy,
676
00:32:43,996 --> 00:32:49,535
tonight, you are playing
a Challenge staple: Hall Brawl.
677
00:32:52,304 --> 00:32:54,906
To begin, you and your opponent
are gonna start
678
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:56,908
on opposite sides
of the hallway.
679
00:32:57,009 --> 00:33:01,313
When I say go, you are gonna
run through your opponent.
680
00:33:01,413 --> 00:33:03,182
Only this time,
you're gonna have a shield.
681
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:06,252
You only have to hold on
to that shield
682
00:33:06,352 --> 00:33:07,886
for the initial impact.
683
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,321
Then, it's game on.
684
00:33:09,421 --> 00:33:11,490
Once you get to the other side,
685
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:13,125
you're gonna lift the cover
and start solving a puzzle.
686
00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:15,661
The puzzles are different
for the women and the men.
687
00:33:15,761 --> 00:33:17,529
If you come up with the answer,
688
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:19,731
you'll come over to this
black square and yell it out.
689
00:33:19,831 --> 00:33:21,600
You get it wrong,
you got to go all the way back
690
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:22,801
before you guess again.
691
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:25,937
This is a one-and-done
elimination.
692
00:33:26,038 --> 00:33:29,108
You win tonight, and you just
punched your ticket to my final,
693
00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:34,246
and your chance
to take home $250,000 each.
694
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:37,249
All right, Cassidy and Chanelle,
695
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:39,618
you're up first, good luck.
696
00:33:41,253 --> 00:33:42,954
I fully expected TJ
to call my name,
697
00:33:43,055 --> 00:33:45,291
and so, I was very prepared
698
00:33:45,391 --> 00:33:47,293
to go down and play
and fight for my life.
699
00:33:47,393 --> 00:33:49,928
I had expectations
that it would be physical,
700
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:52,098
but, you know,
now we have a puzzle in it.
701
00:33:52,198 --> 00:33:55,000
But I'm optimistic and I am
always gonna bet on myself,
702
00:33:55,101 --> 00:33:56,502
so I'm excited.
703
00:33:56,602 --> 00:33:58,637
I think Chanelle
is the best person
704
00:33:58,737 --> 00:34:00,672
I could be going against
right now
705
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:02,374
because she's never been down
in the sand, so I think
706
00:34:02,474 --> 00:34:05,444
that those nerves
could frazzle her a little bit.
707
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:07,579
And I always have loved puzzles,
708
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:10,316
so I'm hoping
that this will suit me.
709
00:34:10,416 --> 00:34:11,950
All right,
710
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:13,352
it's one and done.
711
00:34:14,420 --> 00:34:16,422
Ready?
712
00:34:17,889 --> 00:34:19,891
Go!
713
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:21,293
Hey!
Ooh!
714
00:34:21,393 --> 00:34:23,762
There you go,
there you go. Push!
715
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:26,265
Now run, run.
You can drop 'em!
716
00:34:26,365 --> 00:34:27,566
Good job. Way to fight.
717
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:29,000
Go, go, go, go.
718
00:34:29,101 --> 00:34:31,069
This is the famous Hall Brawl.
719
00:34:31,170 --> 00:34:32,671
It's what we were all avoiding.
720
00:34:32,771 --> 00:34:35,607
But these twists make it
a lot more
721
00:34:35,707 --> 00:34:37,176
of an equalizer.
722
00:34:37,276 --> 00:34:39,010
It's not just
brute-on-brute strength.
723
00:34:39,111 --> 00:34:41,447
When it comes down to a puzzle,
724
00:34:41,547 --> 00:34:43,515
it's literally anyone's game.
725
00:34:47,386 --> 00:34:49,488
There you go!
Chanelle is putting up a fight.
726
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:52,358
We have been working together
the entire game.
727
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:54,660
I'm cheering for her
so we can run the final
728
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,497
against each other
for that $250,000.
729
00:34:58,597 --> 00:35:00,966
Run. Go get the puzzle,
go get the puzzle.
730
00:35:01,066 --> 00:35:02,668
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go, go, go.
731
00:35:07,806 --> 00:35:09,141
Good job, ladies.
732
00:35:09,241 --> 00:35:10,942
Way to fight.
733
00:35:11,042 --> 00:35:12,544
I am instantly excited
734
00:35:12,644 --> 00:35:15,046
because it's the puzzle
where you have to count
735
00:35:15,147 --> 00:35:17,283
how many squares
are inside of the shape.
736
00:35:17,383 --> 00:35:20,051
That is the exact puzzle
that I had on Survivor
737
00:35:20,152 --> 00:35:23,021
and my team was able
to pull it out for the win.
738
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:24,990
Just maybe
739
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:27,459
I will be able to come out
on top with this puzzle.
740
00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:36,568
No.
741
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:38,470
Wow.
742
00:35:47,179 --> 00:35:48,214
No.
743
00:35:54,286 --> 00:35:55,287
Correct.
744
00:35:57,956 --> 00:35:59,858
Good job, Chanelle.
Good job, Chanelle.
745
00:35:59,958 --> 00:36:01,427
Good job, Cassidy.
746
00:36:01,527 --> 00:36:02,928
Keep your head up, baby.
You did so great, dude.
747
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:04,463
Good job, Chanelle.
748
00:36:04,563 --> 00:36:07,233
It wasn't the way
I wanted to go out.
749
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:10,336
I think that I have
so much more potential
750
00:36:10,436 --> 00:36:14,340
to be an incredible Challenger.
751
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,342
It sucks,
but this just motivates me
752
00:36:16,442 --> 00:36:19,511
to want to train harder,
to continue
753
00:36:19,611 --> 00:36:21,680
showing up for myself
754
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,882
and showing myself
what I am capable of.
755
00:36:26,852 --> 00:36:29,921
I played the best game
I possibly could,
756
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:33,024
and today I did what I thought
was best for me,
757
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:34,860
but honestly,
now I just can't worry about
758
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,496
none of that,
I need to just stay focused
759
00:36:37,596 --> 00:36:39,465
and give it all I got
'cause I'm not ready to go home.
760
00:36:39,565 --> 00:36:41,099
It sucks to be down in the sand,
761
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,969
especially against
one of my best friends,
762
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:47,606
but now I look at, like,
he's my opponent. That's it.
763
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,841
I want to make my first final.
764
00:36:49,941 --> 00:36:51,643
I've been in two
Hall Brawls in the past.
765
00:36:51,743 --> 00:36:53,612
Obviously, there's
gonna be physical contact,
766
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:55,314
but it's gonna come down
to the puzzle.
767
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:59,084
If you're wrong on the puzzle,
you lose.
768
00:36:59,184 --> 00:37:01,186
So anybody could win this.
769
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:05,023
All right, fellas, you ready?
770
00:37:05,123 --> 00:37:09,094
You better get low
or take a leap.
771
00:37:13,031 --> 00:37:14,733
Go!
772
00:37:14,833 --> 00:37:15,867
Oh!
773
00:37:21,273 --> 00:37:22,641
I need to make sure
that I get through
774
00:37:22,741 --> 00:37:24,075
that hall
and figure out that puzzle,
775
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:26,044
because I have gotten so close
to the end
776
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:27,713
and I've never made
a final or won,
777
00:37:27,813 --> 00:37:28,947
and this one's
really important for me.
778
00:37:29,047 --> 00:37:30,181
I'm not ready to leave.
779
00:37:30,282 --> 00:37:31,983
I'm not ready
to walk out of this game.
780
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:33,419
All right, fellas, you ready?
781
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:36,322
Go!
782
00:37:41,793 --> 00:37:43,194
Fessy hits me hard.
783
00:37:43,295 --> 00:37:45,196
I feel a little shaken up,
but now it's like,
784
00:37:45,297 --> 00:37:46,998
"Just keep moving your legs.
Don't stop."
785
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:48,867
Way to fight, Josh!
786
00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:50,402
This is exactly what I wanted,
787
00:37:50,502 --> 00:37:53,004
and Josh and Fess
are putting on a show.
788
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:55,707
I'm really, actually impressed
with Josh's ability
789
00:37:55,807 --> 00:37:58,076
to hold his own ground
inside of that hall.
790
00:37:58,176 --> 00:38:00,679
Come on, Fess!
You got it!
You got it!
791
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:02,381
Come on, Fess!
Get to the puzzle!
792
00:38:02,481 --> 00:38:04,215
Get to the puzzle!
Go! Go! Sprint, go!
793
00:38:04,316 --> 00:38:05,651
Puzzle!
Sprint, sprint.
794
00:38:07,353 --> 00:38:09,421
With these type of puzzles,
795
00:38:09,521 --> 00:38:11,890
you have to count the number
of squares there are
796
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:14,225
on this board.
797
00:38:14,326 --> 00:38:16,227
These puzzles,
they're meant to trick you.
798
00:38:22,934 --> 00:38:24,370
Nope.
799
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:26,872
No.
800
00:38:26,972 --> 00:38:28,574
My strategy is,
801
00:38:28,674 --> 00:38:31,009
don't waste too much time
staring at this puzzle.
802
00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:32,844
Wha-- he didn't even look.
803
00:38:32,944 --> 00:38:34,112
Because, hopefully,
I can just guess
804
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:35,714
the number right before him.
805
00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:38,784
Nope.
806
00:38:38,884 --> 00:38:40,719
I want Fessy in that final.
807
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:42,588
That would be three for three
with me and him.
808
00:38:42,688 --> 00:38:45,757
But I think Josh might
actually pull this one off.
809
00:38:45,857 --> 00:38:48,394
He is better at puzzles,
810
00:38:48,494 --> 00:38:49,461
but you just don't know.
811
00:38:54,366 --> 00:38:56,602
Nope.
812
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:05,844
Good job, Fess.
813
00:39:05,944 --> 00:39:07,278
Good job.
814
00:39:07,379 --> 00:39:09,014
Good job.
815
00:39:09,114 --> 00:39:10,649
It's bittersweet.
816
00:39:10,749 --> 00:39:13,151
Sucks I had to send my boy home,
because he's never made a final.
817
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:15,487
I know how bad he wanted
to be in that final,
818
00:39:15,587 --> 00:39:16,788
but that's the game.
819
00:39:16,888 --> 00:39:18,657
This is gonna be my third final.
820
00:39:18,757 --> 00:39:20,659
I'm just excited to give it
all I got and hopefully
821
00:39:20,759 --> 00:39:22,894
I can put the cherry on top
of this season, finally.
822
00:39:22,994 --> 00:39:24,896
I'm sorry.
823
00:39:24,996 --> 00:39:26,432
I love you.
824
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:28,233
- You did good, Josh.
- Nice job, Josh.
825
00:39:28,333 --> 00:39:29,968
- You did good.
- You did good, man.
826
00:39:30,068 --> 00:39:32,671
I'm just disappointed in myself.
827
00:39:32,771 --> 00:39:34,272
I feel like I was willing
828
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,808
to do everything and anything
to make it to the end
829
00:39:36,908 --> 00:39:38,810
that I just sold myself out.
830
00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:42,247
Turning on Bananas was the
worst thing I could have done.
831
00:39:42,347 --> 00:39:44,816
So I guess this is my karma.
832
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:46,652
That was a great battle tonight.
833
00:39:46,752 --> 00:39:51,457
But Cassidy, Josh,
unfortunately, you lost
834
00:39:51,557 --> 00:39:55,627
the worst possible elimination
of the season:
835
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:57,463
the last elimination.
836
00:39:57,563 --> 00:39:59,064
This ends your time here
on The Challenge: USA.
837
00:39:59,164 --> 00:40:01,500
- Take care.
- Thank you.
838
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,134
To have fought so hard
839
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:07,372
and to come up seconds short
of a final reminds me
840
00:40:07,473 --> 00:40:10,542
of being so close in Survivor.
841
00:40:10,642 --> 00:40:12,243
It is really painful
842
00:40:12,343 --> 00:40:14,245
to go through again.
843
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:16,982
But I have the fight in me
to win.
844
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:18,517
I know my day will come.
845
00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:21,186
It's been an honor.
846
00:40:21,286 --> 00:40:23,955
Seeing my best friend advance,
I'm happy for him,
847
00:40:24,055 --> 00:40:25,791
he deserves it,
the guy's a beast.
848
00:40:25,891 --> 00:40:29,961
Every single person left is
so deserving to run that final.
849
00:40:30,061 --> 00:40:31,863
They've earned it,
they all played a great game.
850
00:40:31,963 --> 00:40:35,734
And to fall short yet again
is... this one's a hard one.
851
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:38,470
Keep your head up.
852
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:39,938
Josh, everybody else
853
00:40:40,038 --> 00:40:42,474
can feel sad that you're leaving
and your game is over.
854
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:43,842
Not this guy.
855
00:40:43,942 --> 00:40:46,377
In the wise words of a man
named TJ Lavin,
856
00:40:46,478 --> 00:40:48,379
"Don't take care,
hope to see you never."
857
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,115
All right. You survived,
858
00:40:50,215 --> 00:40:53,018
and now all of you
859
00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:54,786
are in the final.
860
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:00,559
Not only am I in the final,
but I'm in the final
861
00:41:00,659 --> 00:41:02,193
with people
that I've been working with,
862
00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:03,762
that I've built
relationships with,
863
00:41:03,862 --> 00:41:06,231
that I'm going to be
cheering on as well.
864
00:41:06,331 --> 00:41:07,933
Any of us could win it,
865
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:10,602
but I still want to beat y'all.
866
00:41:10,702 --> 00:41:11,870
Congratulations.
867
00:41:11,970 --> 00:41:13,238
The final starts tomorrow.
868
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:16,407
- Let's go!
- See you soon.
869
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:17,909
Get out of here.
870
00:41:18,009 --> 00:41:19,611
We made it.
871
00:41:19,711 --> 00:41:20,912
We punched our ticket.
872
00:41:21,012 --> 00:41:23,615
We have all earned our way
to this final.
873
00:41:23,715 --> 00:41:25,416
I think we're all competitive.
874
00:41:25,517 --> 00:41:28,587
Fess needs that first win,
Johnny needs his 20th win,
875
00:41:28,687 --> 00:41:32,524
and then you got Chris,
who all he does is win.
876
00:41:32,624 --> 00:41:34,860
So it's about to get dirty,
crazy, chaotic.
877
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,528
It's time to put up
878
00:41:36,628 --> 00:41:38,429
or shut up, and for me to stamp
879
00:41:38,530 --> 00:41:40,566
that Challenge champion name
on myself.
880
00:41:40,666 --> 00:41:43,602
All right,
so we splitting the money?

Next on the season finale
of The Challenge: USA...
884
00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:57,949
Welcome to the final.
885
00:41:58,049 --> 00:42:00,986
...after enduring weeks
of grueling challenges
886
00:42:01,086 --> 00:42:02,520
- and eliminations...
- Yeah!
887
00:42:02,621 --> 00:42:04,690
...eight competitors
have risen above the rest
888
00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:07,325
- to earn their spot...
- Let's go!
889
00:42:07,425 --> 00:42:09,761
...in a two-day race designed
to push the Challengers
890
00:42:09,861 --> 00:42:11,529
to their absolute limit.
891
00:42:11,630 --> 00:42:13,331
This is one
of the hardest things
892
00:42:13,431 --> 00:42:14,600
I've ever had to do.
893
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:15,901
I'm a little dizzy.
894
00:42:16,702 --> 00:42:18,637
It's time to find out
who will crumble
895
00:42:18,737 --> 00:42:20,672
under the pressure...
896
00:42:20,772 --> 00:42:22,140
...and who has what it takes
897
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,976
to be a champion
of The Challenge: USA.
