Stay tuned after the episode for the final words
from the eliminated challengers.
♪♪ MTV. ♪♪
-RAVYN: Oh, my God. -MORIAH: Good job.
I cannot believe I'm still freaking here.
JAMES: Ravyn's back in the house.
Still got $366,000 in the prize pot, which is fantastic.
Can't wait to spend that,
but everything's a bit up in the air.
I'm considered the easy target.
That doesn't mean easy contender,
but I just want to get through this game.
I want to get to the final with Moriah.
-You just beat a champ. -I don't believe it.
It lights a fire under me even more.
-Ravyn, you win. Good job. -(cheering)
You have four wins, one against a champ.
This is a really good season for you.
I pat my own self on the back. I beat a champ.
I feel mostly betrayed by James and Moriah.
She directly had a say in voting me in,
but it just gives me more of the freedom
to say their name this time coming up.
Yeah. Yeah.
You should feel proud.

(clock ticking)
Laurel hates me, and I know.
There's definitely someone that I'd bring down here.
We're gonna make up. I see it in our future.
Okay.
The only thing that I could've potentially done
would've been like,
"Ravyn, I'm gonna step in
and go against her," but I wasn't gonna do that.
I'm here for me, not for Laurel.
-Yeah. -Like, Laurel went in, Laurel lost.
That's enough victory for me.
Now that Laurel is gone, I'm feeling way, way better.
Most of my vendettas are not champs,
or they've already come and gone,
so I should be okay.
You didn't get Chaos and guess what?
There's no point to stress about it any longer. Let's move on.
-I know, for sure. -OLIVIA: Yeah.
I need to start getting the winner mindset around here.
It's like, when you lose so many times in a row,
-you start questioning your capabilities and... -Of course.
...when am I allowed to, like, show up for myself
and prove to myself that I'm more than just
me and Horacio?
I had such an amazing response last season,
and I appreciate everyone that supported me.
But with that also comes expectations
that I'm not sure if I can live up to.
It makes me have self-doubt and paranoia.
I never want to disappoint anyone.
I came here to win. You know,
'cause you haven't won yet either.
MICHELE: Whether or not you win a daily challenge
is not indicative of whether you can win the whole thing.
You only need to win the thing that matters, which is the end.
-Who's actually gonna have my back. -Yes.
-And not... -Yeah.
-Some of them can be both. -Some of them can be both, but not everybody.
Yeah, exactly.
I still feel full trust with Nurys and Horacio,
but I've sensed some distance
from Olivia, Michele, and Jay.
Who could you not say?
KYLAND: Jay stays quiet while everybody else is saying Kyland's name.
I need more allies who are willing to stick up for me
when it can actually make a difference.
NURYS: I think it's gonna get to a point where
I might have to start doing my own thing, too,
and it's gonna put a target on my back.
NURYS: I'm kind of in the middle and have been in the middle.
I came in since day one having both Kyland and Horacio's back,
but, at the same time, came in having Jay, Michele,
and Olivia and Asaf's back.
I'm not picking one side or the other.
My loyalties are to all of them.
-Tides are shifting. -NURYS: Yeah.
-Getting sticky. -Mm-hmm.
-I'm ready. -I'm ready, too.
NURYS'S MOM (over phone): Hello.
Hi, Ma.
Let me give you guys some tea on my life.
I've been seeing somebody here, and...
Ah.
He's really good. He's Latino. He's really innocent.
Oh. Horacio?
-He's cute. -I know.
Oh, my God. Dude, that's perfect. I love him.
NURYS'S DAD: So, listen, I definitely got something to tell you.
-Why? Tell me right now. -Somebody in your house...
Are they fake?
-Yeah. -Wh-- Who?
Saying that Nurys is broke, and
she's gonna use her just for the game.
Having Olivia be my number one, my best friend,
it feels (bleep) hearing that she possibly
is playing me.
It's just mind-blowing and shocking.
I'm gonna have to be on my Ps and Qs
and kind of just see the way she moves.
And now, I'm, like, unsure about my friendship
with her. It sucks.
I'm just hurt because I just have so much love
for her in and out of here.
And now you just don't know if it's just genuine.
Yeah. In my last season, I had Nelson,
and I knew that I truly had someone I could trust.
And now, I feel like I'm just... (sniffles)
have to have my guard up with so many people.
You're the smartest bitch. Okay?
So I know you're gonna go ahead and play this game right
-and win that (bleep) money. -Yup.
'Cause, at the end of the day, your real friends
are rooting for you back home, and we love you,
and we're rooting for you, and (bleep) these bitches.
Exactly. Ah. Okay. Love you guys.
Love you so much. Keep your head up.
-And remember, play smart. -We love you.
-Bye. -Bye.
How are you feeling about Horacio?
I know he's been...
I really don't care.
I have nothing but platonic male friends.
Like, one, I trust him wholeheartedly, like 1000%.
Two, for the most part, I trust her, too.
Aside from that, I think all his time goes to me.
I can't expect all his time to be 100% with me.
So, that's the only reason why I'm like, all right,
not that big of a deal.
I'm just very secure in myself.
I don't know, it's just strange for me.
It's so, like, disrespectful as a friend that, like,
we literally had this whole season together last year,
went through so much together,
and then he doesn't even tell me he's coming on this season.
And I think that's so shady.
On Ride or Dies, me and Horacio
were in a partnership, but now that we're in this one,
I'm realizing that
I don't think he needs me anymore.
I'm kind of, like, just over it.
It's exhausting, honestly.
Give him the benefit of the doubt.
I really don't think he means wrong.
He just doesn't really care about our friendship.
That's how I felt and feel.
He's just such a taker, and he's selfish.
You're making it seem like if it was against you.
It's never been against you, ever.
He literally, wholeheartedly has your back.
1,000-- but one trillion percent.
-It's more than that. -That's like,
like if Jay wouldn't have told Michele...
You're making so many excuses for him.
I'll be honest with you. And I, and I, I...
And I will continue to make excuses.
-It's not even excuses 'cause it's the truth. -Right.
But my feelings are also still valid.
Use your brain.
Like, come on.
NURYS: Olivia.
Don't try to project your insecurities onto me.
After hearing, you know,
what my family told me about Olivia, and now
hearing what Olivia thinks
about Horacio, this is good knowledge,
but I'm just gonna
keep it in the back of my mind,
and, you know, I'll move accordingly.
I don't need to act on it right now.
Maybe we're just maybe not meant to be friends.
I mean, I guess not then.
KYLAND: Knowing who I can and can't trust from my alliance,
winning today is a must for me.
COREY: I don't feel safe in this game.
MICHELE: This has been a season of dreams and nightmares.
OLIVIA: I haven't won a challenge, so I want to get this win
and redeem myself after last season.
HORACIO: I need this win.
I need it more than ever.
We're all starting to see, like, a change
of alliances or plans.
I'm doing my best to keep cool,
and when the time is right, we'll strike.
All right, everyone. Welcome to your next challenge.
(cheering)
TJ: We started in Control
with 24 of you. We are down to 16.
You went up to $106,000 added to your final prize pot.
However, since then,
we hit Chaos with Challenge champions
coming in and depleting
that winning by $40,000.
So, today's challenge is called We All Fall Down.
That 30-foot tower
is what you're gonna be on today.
As you can see, there's a floating wall just above it.
That wall swings and maneuvers every which way.
You are gonna have to push that wall
and push your opponents off of that platform.
All of them have to go in the water.
Today's game is gonna be played in teams of four.
Actually, you're in your teams right now, so
four, four, four, four.
-Good to go. -Yes.
MICHELE: The last elimination was a girls' elimination,
so we're expecting today to be a guys' day,
and now I'm on a team with two guys
that I'm not necessarily working with,
James and Kyland.
So, it's a little bit complicated
because they're the targets, and yet,
I want to win, personally.
♪♪ ♪♪
COLLEEN: In Chaos level, everything can happen.
Even if we had a female elimination before,
that doesn't mean the next one is guys' elimination.
For me, it's so important to win
because that is the only chance for me that I'm safe.
Today's challenge is gonna be tournament style.
There will be two preliminary rounds.
The winners of those rounds are gonna go into a sudden death.
The team with the last contender standing will win
today's challenge and be safe from elimination.
Good luck, everyone.
-(cheering) -Thanks.
We have brains, strength. She just beat Laurel yesterday.
I got a freaking dream team right now kicking ass.
We all know how important it is to win.
I want to save these guys. I want to save myself.
(laughs) So, yeah, we don't fall.
It's about being smart and strategic,
and I really do believe we can win this.
I was fine before I was being questioned by some of my team.
But if my team doesn't trust me,
-then how much of a team are we? -We do trust you.
Well, also, questioning isn't a insult because
-this is your best friend... -You think I'm gonna sabotage this.
Let's not argue, but I pulled you aside
-to tell you... -To tell me that I'm being...
How do you think I'm gonna respond to being told
that somebody on my team thinks I'm gonna sabotage?
-I didn't say, "I think." -Calm. Like you always tell me to be.
I'm clearly nervous. We're going to (bleep) battle
-on heights over water. -Yes.
MICHELE: Of course I'm nervous. And then you say that
Kyland thinks I'm gonna sabotage this?
-That is not what I said. -Whatever.
There's obviously a really great team dynamic,
feeling super good about it.
So, really, really happy and excited to join this team up
where we're gonna be pushing and fighting for our lives
because trust is the foundation of this group, right?
And there's so much trust happening.
ZARA: Oh, my God, that's so far down.
Oh, that's gonna (bleep) hurt when you fall.
Break a leg.
This challenge is called We All Fall Down.
Two teams have to go
against each other pushing this big, heavy wall
until one of the other teams
knocks off the platform.
And the two last teams standing go against each other.
Part of me doesn't want to win if it's a boys' because
Jay and Asaf don't really care if they see me go down,
so why should I care if they go down?
Head in the game.
TJ: Colleen, Ravyn, Jay and Asaf
versus Kyland, James, Michele and Moriah.
-You ready? -ZARA: Good luck.
-Be brave. Be strong. -(air horn blows)
Now go.
-Now go. -Pivot.
Go, Colleen. Colleen, Colleen, Colleen.
(overlapping chatter)
KYLAND: Our strategy is
to keep our strength focused in the center
with myself and James and simply
shuffle over when they try
and make us start spinning,
then it will force them to stop.
-Which way? Which way? -Right side.
-There we go. -Push, push, push, push.
Go, go, go, go, go.
-Well done, well done. -Well done.
MICHELE: We start to understand that,
by spinning the wall
and catching our opponents a little bit off guard,
we can gain some traction. The more that
we're spinning them, they're backed
into a corner.
-Pivot. -Now go.
-All right. -We're right with them.
James, this way.
Now left. Now left.
Push!
♪♪ ♪♪
Push, push, push, push, push, push.
They're coming over here.
-Go. -Go, go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go!
ASAF: We're trying to spin.
But James has a lot of power.
The dude is literally a giant. He's like
20 feet tall, and I'm just trying
to stop James right now.
-Go. Go. -Push, push, push!
Push, push to James' left.
All right, guys, push, push, push, go.
(screams)
-Well done. -(air horn blows)
(cheering)
TJ: Good job.
Yeah!
-Let's go! -Whoo!
MICHELE: Well, I'm clearly not sabotaging it.
(laughs) So, that's good.
-It's our Tom Brady. -(laughs)
I want to finally take a W. I have not won
any challenges so far in my teams or pairs.
So, I think it's our time to shine today.
We're a well-balanced team.
We have the smarts, we have the brawn.
-And the beauty, baby. -And-and the beauty, baby.
ED: I feel like there's a lot of big galoofs,
big goombas out here, but they're not as strong.
They definitely don't have the endurance.
So, we're gonna hit them first, hit them hard.
We don't know if it's a female or male elimination,
so it's so important to win.
No one's getting wet on my team.
Let's go, team.
TJ: For round two,
we have Zara, Berna,
Horacio and Ed
versus Olivia, Nurys, Corey, Emanuel.
-Ready? Go. -(air horn blows)
-Yes, push. -Go, go.
-No, no, no, no. -ZARA: This is wild.
I feel like action Barbie.
I'm putting my head, shoulder, hip against this wall
and we are pushing so hard.
-Push, push, push. -Get Horacio off.
-Let's go, let's go, let's go. -They're coming over here.
(overlapping chatter)
HORACIO: We're definitely the underdog.
We're all on the smaller side,
but who doesn't love a good underdog story?
We push now.
Push it. Push this way.
JAY: Damn. Corey's strong as (bleep).
BERNA: Corey's the foundation of this team,
and if we get Corey down,
they will struggle with their mindset,
and that's what we need.
We need them to struggle with their mindset.
Go, go, go.
Push it.
-Use your legs. -I am.
-You got it. -OLIVIA: Corey looks like
a Greek god, but
he doesn't know how to use his strength,
and I feel like he's kind of
starting to hinder the team more than help.
-Turn around, use your legs. -TJ: Don't quit.
You got it.
-Don't quit. -One, two, three.
(all grunting)
Push.
Big push. Big push.
Rotate it, rotate it, rotate it.
(shouting)
ED: Nothing's gonna stop me.
I'm like superhero right now.
Have you ever seen me and Batman in the same room?
No, you haven't. So, I might be a superhero.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
(overlapping shouting)
-(bleep)! -(TJ shouting)
TJ: Nice job!
Got rid of the big guy! Look at that!
NURYS: Push! Push! Push!
-(TJ shouting) -Yes!
(bleep) yeah!
COREY: I know I just cost my team the win today.
I am very disappointed in my performance.
-(air horn blows) -TJ: Oh, that's it!
I love you guys!
-Well done. -Let's go!
Happy but never satisfied, baby.
We're still hungry. We had the entrée.
Now we want the dessert too to top it off.
-Let's go. -(grunts)
Let's go!
Corey, like, you're a big guy.
There's no reason why you should be pushing me.
Like, no reason at all.
-OLIVIA: Maybe just get out of the way next time. -No, I had it fine.
My grip is fine. Why do I have to move
-when I have a great stance? -Okay, chill out. Chill out.
-We're a team. -God.
-Stop. -Jesus.
All right, this is the final round.
(whooping)
HORACIO: Let's get it!
TJ: We got James, Kyland, Moriah, Michele
versus Ed, Horacio, Berna and Zara.
JAY: This final heat could literally go either way.
And if it goes Ed, Horacio, ZaZa and Berna,
my head will be on the chopping block
because Horacio and ZaZa are playing their own game.
Yep.
ZARA: We are definitely underdogs
in this heat. They've got two of the strongest boys
in the house,
so this is going to be tough,
but I have every single bit of confidence in my team
that we are going to win.
TJ: You ready?
Someone's getting wet! Go!
-(air horn blows) -MICHELE: Over here. This side, this side,
this side, this side. This side.
MORIAH: Push, push, push, push!
RAVYN: Let's go, let's go, let's go, Zara!
Turn it, turn it!
Let's go, Ed!
(overlapping shouting)
JAMES: We've sort of got a strategy
using that wall as a fifth team member.
You know, my name's been on people's lips
and my neck's been on the chopping block since day one
and I don't like it. I need to win today.
There's no other option.
MORIAH: No, no, no. What are you doing?
Good job, guys!
James? James, what are you doing?
(overlapping shouting)
(grunting)
The edge is getting a little skinnier right now.
And I'm kind of worried because maybe they have
a better strategy than us
and I'm hoping that our strength can push them off.
TJ: We need some endurance now!
Get it going!
MORIAH: James, don't move!
James, James! James, what are you doing?
Stop the spin!
HORACIO: Push! Let's go!
ED: Seeing as my name already came up once before,
they sure as hell can do it again,
so to keep my ass from going into elimination,
the only thing that I can do is win.
What are you doing?
ZARA: Pivot! Pivot!
(overlapping shouting)
Push!
(echoing): Go!
MORIAH: James, don't move. James! James!
-James, what are you doing? -COREY: Stop the spin!
(TJ laughs)
Keep going. Keep Going. Push!
It's kind of a toss-up because the boys
are matching up in strength. If it goes
Ed, Horacio, ZaZa and Berna,
I have no idea where their head is at
because they are playing their own game.
TJ: Who wants it more?
Push, push, push, push!
Turn it! Turn it, Kyland!
-Push! -Push!
That's it! That's it! Go, go, go!
(yelling)
(overlapping shouting)
-(TJ shouting) -(air horn blows)
(cheering)
Let's go!
With Horacio winning, that makes him safe
and I know he will never throw Kyland in,
so I'm feeling pretty good.
At least my boys are safe
and none of them will be going home.
(cheering)
ED: Holy (bleep)!
This win is super big, especially 'cause we just
came off of a female elimination.
This couldn't work out more perfect.
(screaming)
MICHELE: This is ZaZa's fifth challenge win.
The more that she wins, the more I'm realizing
that she's got to go.
This girl is a huge threat.
TJ: All right. Congratulations, everyone.
You got through it.
Well done.
(applause)
Ed, Horacio, Zara and Berna,
what a performance, huh?
Now you all are the only team
safe from elimination.
And I'm going to need you to step aside,
deliberate, and nominate one...
...woman to send into the Arena.
-(bleep) knew it. -What?
-A woman? -NURYS: Again?
MICHELE: Well, well, well.
Expect the unexpected is the name of this game
in Chaos, and now
I find myself vulnerable on another girls' day.
NURYS: TJ. You know what?
I'm just going to have him put on a wig
and he can just compete for us this time.
Let me just tell you, I don't want to put Moriah.
I don't want to put Ravyn. Everyone else is up for grabs.
Colleen, it's not an option for me.
And, uh, Michele is my queen.
You know that. Um...
She's everybody's, though. That's not...
No, no, I'm talking about protection here.
HORACIO: Ed is riding very hard with Michele.
ZaZa is riding with Moriah
and Berna is also riding with Michele.
So, you know, I think right now
I have to be very cautious of what I say.
I don't want to say a name
that's going to upset anybody else
and put a bigger target on my back.
I think there's a couple girls in here
who are just not as well connected as other girls,
like Ravyn, Moriah, Colleen
are probably an easy house vote.
I definitely think that my name
will be considered, but I'm hoping the weight
of ZaZa and Horacio's voice protects me.
I mean, if we're talking about least messy...
-Is it... -I hate to say it,
-but it's probably Colleen. -No, that's not true.
To be least messy is Ravyn and Moriah.
ZARA: I've been working with Ravyn.
She's so strong and there's no chance
that she's going down for another elimination
under my watch.
Yeah, then Ravyn.
Then... I want to protect Colleen
like you wanted to protect her, too.
Mother(bleep) play a scared-ass pussy game.
BERNA: I just played my ass off like you guys
and I want to hear it.
I want to have a voice.
But outvoted, I get it.
But he didn't vote it. You try to pressure him.
I cannot believe what's happening right now.
Why don't I get a chance
to protect my girl?
I won. I gave my all, like you guys did.
I feel like the easiest thing to do, I guess,
I mean, like...
BERNA: Just say a name.
All right. Zara.
-Hey, TJ. -How you doing?
Fabulous.
Did you come up with a decision?
Yes, we did. Um...
So, unfortunately, it's going to be Colleen today.
HORACIO: It's three against one.
I've been there
when the numbers are against you
and I'm sorry but I don't want to say Ravyn.
How'd you come to that decision?
We just thought it was going to be less messy
-for all of us. -No, I don't.
Apart from Berna.
I don't understand why they don't choose Ravyn.
I really thought Ed will have my back.
I am just so tired
for not getting an equal place in this alliance.
BERNA: I'm so sorry, Colleen.
I tried my best.
I wish that Ed would have tried his best, too, but whatever.
ED: There is, like,
a long list of members on the alliance,
and some people are higher up than other people,
and it seems that Colleen
isn't really at the top of most people's list.
RAVYN: I definitely owe Zara
for not saying my name.
She's been on the chopping block as well,
and we're just kind of bonding over that.
We want to have each other's back.
Colleen, how are you feeling?
I feel a bit blindsided,
but I will fight
and I will come back if I have to compete.
Fair enough. Well, the rest of you,
I need you all to head back to the house,
deliberate and nominate one other woman
to send into the Arena.
Now, the winning team will be part of the deliberation.
However, you will not have a vote in the nomination
since you already put Colleen in there.
Get out of here, everyone. I will see you very soon.
(applause)
♪♪ ♪♪
OLIVIA: I think Ravyn
is very relieved that she's not nominated
as the main vote,
but I think she knows what's coming
and, if you look around,
all the girls left are in my alliance
and my good friends, so Ravyn is
the only option at this point for the house vote.
-Why didn't they vote for Moriah? -I don't know, I-I don't...
They will not... they will not do a big move.
-You don't understand. -But it was so st...
I don't get it.
I just know, you know,
like, Olivia is between...
She's working with all these people.
Michele, same. Nurys, same.
EMANUEL: Yeah. That's a good position to be.
COLLEEN: Jay, same. It is a good position.
Nobody is protecting us.
There are still three people that are protecting me.
That is Berna, Emanuel and Asaf.
I am ready to make a big move
because I have nothing to lose anymore.
So I will talk to Kyland
and let's see what happen.
You all see that these people
are working both sides. Even if they...
-ASAF: Oh, yeah. -EMANUEL: Yeah.
COLLEEN: They are always saying
they are so trustworthy.
It's, "We are an alliance,"
but that is bull(bleep).
No. 100%, they, all the time,
there will be people that come after us.
Colleen is a part in our alliance.
She comes somewhere at the bottom.
Not to me, but to some people.
And it's hard to do something right now about that.
But Michele is an important piece,
especially for my game.
I'm sitting pretty nice now.
Honestly, for me, it feels like
it was never really an alliance.
We were just working for them
the whole time and protecting
these people in the middle.
ASAF: I love big moves in this game,
but let's face it. Colleen,
you're just an easy vote for them.
So I'm trying to give her the impression
that I'm with her, that it's a good move,
but it's too big of a move.
I'm working with my core people,
the Fantastic Four.
Myself, Jay, Nurys and Michele.
COLLEEN: I sended in Ravyn for them
to-to save our numbers.
To save Berna.
Yeah? I sent (bleep) Kyland in,
manipulated his game.
I sended him in after-after we won.
Also for the alliance.
Was it the best thing for my game? No.
I'm over it. I'm done.
The thing is that nobody touches this.
And if you take one shot,
then nobody's going to trust you.
No, I could because
I have nothing to lose.
A lot of people are just saying,
okay, let's make a big move.
I think now it's... it's time.
♪♪ ♪♪
ASAF: This is the stage of the game
that actually how important it is
that nobody knows
that I'm working with you guys.
Three, two, one.
ALL: Fantastic Four.
MICHELE: Fantastic Four.
ASAF: The thing is,
Colleen has a list with four people
in this house who's controlling the game
and everybody's working for them,
-which is, uh, you... -Me.
...you, Olivia and Nurys.
She wants to expose it.
JAY: Colleen is definitely one of my numbers.
She's been helping me since the beginning of this game.
She's been getting me information.
But now that she's
trying to form a new mini-alliance
to come after the big alliance...
I've had my feet kicked up by the pool
most of this Challenge season.
It's time for me to clock in.
She's already (bleep).
She's (bleep).
But it comes with a lot of things.
So here's the thing: I don't want you guys
or us altogether get (bleep) blindsided
when Nurys, Horacio
and all their mother(bleep) with Zara...
Nurys won't betray me.
ASAF: Like, she won't, right?
No.
But the faction of Kyland,
Horacio, ZaZa
and Ravyn
are a huge issue because
they are not scared to say names.
Horacio today, I felt him
closed off. I felt the divide.
♪♪ ♪♪
I'm starting to get some weird
off vibes from Horacio.
After the challenge, Ed tells me that Horacio
might be coming for me.
Horacio said something about, like,
not, like, take a big shot, but he's like,
"There are other options on the table,"
but he's like, "But I do agree, like,
maybe we should," like hinted at it.
But at my name specifically?
Like, he acknowledged it.
I don't know if he was like, "We got to get her out."
-But I think, like... -Yeah.
Going to have to figure that out.
You may be playing this game as a solo rider
but don't forget the fact that this is a social game.
-Mm-hmm. -So if he literally
meets somebody three days ago
and is riding with them harder than he's riding with us,
then (bleep) you then.
The worker bees are starting to realize
that the queen bee is not really looking out for them anymore,
and they're starting to unify.
You can come for me but I'm going to go win this season.
It's going to be smooth sailing for me.
The first win I get, the first win,
I'm throwing him the (bleep) down.

OLIVIA: Horacio is spending
the majority of his time with Zara
and I'm happy that he's found someone in the house
to feel comfortable with.
But why are you not even
having one conversation with me?
It's actually annoying.
It's not like, oh, because I hang out with Za,
I'm against you.
And that's one thing
that I want to clarify with her.
Yes, I'm starting to see different things,
but I don't want that division, whatever you want to call it,
to ruin our friendship.
I'm here with Olivia.
Her name will never come out of my mouth.
That's my number one. But at the end of the day,
the people that she's working with
might not be the same people I'm working with.
Look, she's not a bad person
but I feel like she is getting a bit lost in here
because we're hanging out,
you're with Nurys
and she's like, "Where do I stand?"
I would never ask Horacio
to have my back over Olivia's
because they've been through
so much more together
but that doesn't mean he doesn't have my back.
What's going to happen?
Because, I mean, I do feel like
we're coming to the end of Chaos.
We'll see where she stands with everything.

COLLEEN: I think it could be between Ravyn
and Moriah for the house vote.
For a lot of people, Ravyn is the easiest way.
But maybe that is not the smartest...
-COREY: Mm-hmm. -...decision.
JAY: I'm literally good with all of you.
-Yeah. -JAY: It's frustrating at this point.
But you want to protect Moriah before Ravyn?
JAY: No, I want to do what the girls want to do.
My girls.
COLLEEN: I still pretend that I'm working with my alliance
but if I think about Moriah,
she would protect James
before Emanuel, before Asaf,
before Corey.
She would protect Zara
before Berna and me.
So I just don't get it
that my alliance is so blind right now.
COREY: The main group of girls are kind of like
iffy with both of them in different ways.
I think they're personally more connected
to Moriah, and then Ravyn, it's like
they see how strong Ravyn is
and she keeps coming back.
She keeps winning things.
Like, I think part of them wants to
just potentially take out a strong person.
-COLLEEN: Yeah. -So it's like
I don't know what direction
they want to go in.
Like, if we make a shot,
she still might not even leave.
JAY: And then you have a big-ass problem.
Yeah, and then we have a huge problem.
-You have reasons for both, honestly. -Yeah.
JAY: Colleen is extremely intelligent.
So if Colleen is actually trying to form
a new mini-alliance,
that means my name's eventually on the block.
So I don't know exactly what's gonna happen here,
but I do know for a fact
that I'm not gonna let this happen.
Out of all of you guys, I feel like
I'm the least connected. Not in a bad way.
It's just 'cause I, I feel like I chose
to be connected to James.
Don't worry, it's gonna be fine.
-Like, I would never. -BOTH: Five, six, seven...
-MICHELE: Would never. -Yeah. Out of 12.
MICHELE: Nomination's today.
I'm not gonna say Moriah,
Nurys or Olivia, so
my options are basically
Ravyn or Ravyn.
And I feel bad about it, but what-what else can I do?
-It's not enough for a revolt. -Yeah.
I don't know if I should even say anything.
If I should just let it be. Ravyn is like number two to me.
You know, and there's others that are lower on my four.
It's (bleep) that they won.
-Surely you would not, would you? -I would, yeah.
I feel bad for Ravyn.
I have no relationship towards Colleen
and I feel like she secretly is pretty sneaky.
If she's not out now, she's gonna make it to a final.
So I'm hoping for this elimination, that they do pick
Colleen because I want to see Ravyn here.
Yeah, they're looking at one of us.
Like, hello, we need a break.
I'm beaten and shriveled.
MICHELE: Can't do this anymore.
ZARA: I know, at this point, the girls aren't gonna
-turn their back on Moriah. -RAVYN: Yeah.
Michele wouldn't let that fly.
ZARA: If people say your name, obviously that's not nice,
but I have full confidence in you.
Yeah, listen, honey, I'm not gonna self-nominate.
I want all y'all mother(bleep) to say my name.
I'm gonna keep going down and down and down
until something happens within those numbers.
Colleen is just as pissed.
It's just gonna, it's really gonna start a war
when me and Colleen come back into this house.
I feel like I'm an outsider with Olivia, Nurys,
and Michele and Moriah. I'm just waiting
for people to say my name, so I can say it
right back when the time comes.
But, hey, whatever. This is what we're here for. We came to play.
This is what we came for. Don't be fazed
by these people. They don't faze me, they shouldn't faze you.
You've won so many challenges.
You've come back from elimination.
You're so strong.
And also you've got a good heart.
So just F them.
So what's up with your boy
and Kyland? Are they coming for me or what?
HORACIO: How do you feel about going to the final?
JAY: Threatened.
Be real. Threatened, man.
No, if you said the word to me, like,
this person is literally gunning for me, number one,
that's, say less.
And then I talked to Nurys about it and Nurys, of course,
is, like, having his back so much.
And I can't because I'm like--
-She forgot this is The Challenge. -She won't even hear me.
This is lo-- she thinks she's in love right now.
That's exactly why people are getting frustrated
with her. She's got a fat target on his head.
I know, logic is such a thing, but also, like,
feelings prevent us from doing a lot of things
in this game that we need to do.
Are we going to let him go to the final?
I don't want to run a final with him, to be honest with you.
Like, but I also-- but I also feel like I owe it to him
because I feel like I failed him last season in the final.
You didn't fail him, bro. That was just an accident.
How can you fail somebody if your literal
skull is cracked in half?
I know, but I feel like he drugged me
through the whole season, like, did everything.
And I was just there, and then, like...
What are you talking about?
The only reason that we saved you guys is because
of how much we loved you.
If Horacio was on his own last season,
he was going in every time. He was just a tool for everyone.
I know.
I feel like Horacio and me are going
through a breakup that neither of us want but we have
to have because we're just not seeing eye to eye anymore.
He helped you when it came down
for challenges and stuff like that,
but you drug him because
socially he had nothing.
Like, you need to know that because if you keep
thinking that, like, Horacio's the one that did
this for me and I blew, I blew it on the final, the only
reason you were even in the final is because of you.
Jay's right. Maybe I won't play with Horacio at all.
KYLAND: I think there's a reason that, like,
the entire house of last season...
I think that says something
about what you're doing in the game.
Considering her relationships
with Jay, Corey,
Ed, Emanuel,
Berna, it's really hard for me to believe
Michele holding me as a priority
is even possible at this point.
-HORACIO: I really do consider Jay a friend. -Yeah, same.
It's just like, dang it, man, like, why?
...like, I was literally riding
for you in every way possible and now you're like...
HORACIO: Exactly. She did that on her own, though.
And, also, by, like, giving people her word.
...after this one, it's when, like, literally,
-everything's going to... -Oh. Yes. -Okay.
-This one is... different. -100%.
Yeah.
I am still being loyal to the people that I said
I was going to be loyal to, and those are
Horacio, Kyland, Jay, Asaf, and then,
for the girls, you know,
Michele, Olivia and Moriah.
COLLEEN: It was important that you know that I definitely
am not against you.
-The core people, like... -Of course. Of course.
...the people that are so safe are getting stronger
-and getting more power. -100%.
I can see the resentment building in her
against some common enemies.
And they always say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
So, I have a feeling
Colleen and I may find some great ways to work together.
There is for sure some people all on the same page about it.
ZaZa is in a similar position. There's...
-There's Ravyn. -You, me, Ravyn, obviously.
Nurys and Horacio 'cause they came in
part of that core and have been put
at the bottom of that list. They are with us.
-We are definitely a lot of numbers... -Yeah.
...that are thinking the same way.
And I honestly think that
those that have been safe
at the center of power are also starting to realize
that, like, they made too many promises
with too many people.
They're starting to panic a little bit...
-COLLEEN: Mm-hmm. -...about the repercussions.
There's no reason that people, especially people
who don't win anything, should feel so comfortable.
Right. Right.
Kyland understands my position,
and I feel very confident about
the alliance I'm building with Kyland,
Ravyn, ZaZa.
The only thing I have to do
is to come out of the Arena tonight.
Tonight is a chance for... for Chaos.
KYLAND: But I think that there's no reason
that you guys shouldn't take the opportunity
to literally let them know,
"You can pick us, but I've been down here twice.
-She's been down here three times." -Exactly. Exactly.
If you want to pick some people, like,
I think that's the thing to let them know, because...
And also, I don't know if it's Cara.
She was an outsider.
-Exactly. Definitely. -We can say this, too.
ASAF: Listening to Kyland and Colleen,
this is not good news
for the Fantastic Four.
We get through tonight, and then the elimination,
-and then the next challenge... -And then let's see.
-...things will be happy. -I'm ready.
And they better get ready
-tonight. Oh. -Yeah.
So, Kyland is trying to tell Colleen
when the champ's coming and tell her
-to pick everybody. -Chaos.
And Chaos.
I just don't want you guys to be at risk, and I think...
-We are at risk. -(indistinct chatter)
-Asaf, we are at risk. -And I just heard about it just now.
We have had an easy ride because we've been so connected.
Now, our connections are
potentially going to bite us in the ass.
We knew this day would come.
-Yeah. -MICHELE: We cannot panic.
We have to believe in the people
that we've trusted in this whole time,
that they're going to stay with a backbone,
because they're not the lowest on the totem poles.
So the people who are are obviously going to revolt.
The other people need to stay true because we protected them
time and time again.
People are secretly riding against me. I feel it.
I know something's going on. The vote
and my perception can't really change
because we have the stable seven.
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah. -The stable seven.
I'm still working with Michele,
Nurys and Asaf.
So at the moment, we still have to keep it a secret
because if anyone finds this out,
then this could be the death of us.
MICHELE: So come for me,
and your game-- it's not going to change anything.
♪♪ ♪♪
Ed, welcome to the VIP, bro.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, this is different. (chuckles)
Michele is completely
dominating the social game and hierarchy of the house.
But there's been some distance and distrust that's building,
and it's only a matter of time before
we can finally shake up the house a bit.
To be in this position sucks.
I heard that some of you are thinking
that I'm an easy name to say.
That hurts, 'cause I'm still loyal and honest to my people.
But it seems like they don't care.
RAVYN: Yeah, I mean, I guess I feel the same way, to be honest.
I'm done playing kumbaya with everybody.
It is my third time, and I can't keep understanding why
other people are closer than other people.
To me, it's just not okay.
MICHELE: Tensions are high.
Where is the Xanax?
Because everybody in this house needs a chill pill.
Something has to change.
I just want to work with the people that want
to work with me. Just got to do
what I got to do at this point and...
just keep it pushing.
JAY: I've never been
-this far in the game, ever. -Same.
It's just gonna get harder
as the days goes on. So I think just,
you know, keep your head up. And if you feel
like you're an easy vote, that's bull(bleep).
All the easy votes are gone.
And, uh, unfortunately, Ravyn, my vote is for you today.
COREY: There are people who come in here
who are going to be inherently safer than others
the day they show up, and I think we all know that.
And I hate the fact that it has been both of you repeatedly.
I know what that feels like.
And I do want to acknowledge what you guys are both saying,
'cause it is true.
You're still being said because it is easier.
Go in there tonight and just focus on winning.
We've already seen it. We can beat champs.
So you guys go in there and do it.
JAY: Everyone in these nominations
is getting very kumbaya,
and it's just getting ridiculous, because we all know
that there's a line drawn in the sand.
It's a game. You're gonna have
to make a move. So stop telling people how much you love 'em,
because when you have to betray them,
you're gonna end up crying.
Voting for you, Ravyn, because I'm a pussy.
(laughing): What?
If you both go in, I hope you both come back.
We've all been there. That's why we're all not winners.
You know? But one of us will be,
and I think that's the beauty of it.
My vote is for you.
But you beat Laurel.
So I think-- really believe that you could do (bleep) anything.
RAVYN: I literally can't
even look her in the face while she's speaking
because it just seems like all bull(bleep).
So I'm gonna say Ravyn.
-Ravyn. -My vote is for you, unfortunately.
Ravyn, my vote is for you as well.
Apologies, but my vote's for you.
RAVYN: I am literally rolling my eyes. They are all full of (bleep).
Everything is smoke and mirrors,
and it's all going in through one ear
and out the other.
My vote's also for you.
MORIAH: Ravyn, I'm voting for you,
because I don't want to vote for myself.
(chuckles) My vote is for Moriah.
MORIAH: I know that Kyland
is not saying Ravyn, because he wants
Ravyn on his good side.
I see through it, Kyland.
I vote for myself.
It is what it is.
Let me get this third elim win, baby.
-Yeah! -If I have to.
(chuckles)
HORACIO: Ravyn has already been
down in the sand a couple times.
Beat a champ already. In terms of Colleen, she's a strong girl.
I actually do hope she comes back,
because when they do come back,
this game is gonna take a full turn.
COREY (quietly): We would all be stupid
if we could think that we could constantly say your name
-and that it's not gonna have repercussions. -Mm-hmm.
Because people here think they're playing--
"Oh, I'm playing such a good social game. Blah, blah, blah."
What social game? You showed up with all your friends
on a (bleep) season? That's not social game.
I don't know the last champion
that played a good social game
-but did not also compete well. -Yeah.
They take risks. They go into eliminations.
-They win. -Right. Right.
I think everybody should take the power into their own hands.
Because say Chaos is pulled--
I bet you everybody on that stage is gonna be quiet.
-Yeah. Right. -They won't have (bleep) to say.
There's too many people afraid right now, including me,
and I know it.
I've definitely been playing
a very scared, timid game this season.
I came in a little strong with Big T and Melissa.
I almost lost my alliance
and I almost lost the game
because I was making too many moves.
Since that moment,
I have been just going steady
and following other people,
and I'm ready for things to switch up.
I am a pussy. I'm too afraid to do it myself.
-Champions aren't pussies. -I know.
COLLEEN: I feel very confident.
I don't think I'm leaving tonight.
If I come back,
it's time to play.

Welcome to your 12th elimination
on this season of The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion.
(cheering, whooping)
As you all know, we are in level two, Chaos.
Horacio, Zara, Berna and Ed,
you had to select one woman to send into the Arena.
You chose Colleen.
This is not your first time down here.
What's up?
I didn't win, and I have to keep winning. That's it.
TJ: What about you, Ravyn? Third time down here.
You've already played in two eliminations.
What's going on?
Some people are more important to other people,
and it's a battle. But that's what I'm here for.
Nothing's easy, right?
Nothing is easy on The Challenge.
But we are all here to crown a new champion,
and to be the best, you got to beat the best.
-Right? -Yes.
TJ: This Challenge champion is one of the best.
-Come on out. -ED: Let's go! Let's bring her out!
(cheering, applause)
-CARA MARIA: Hey! What up? -(shouting)
Oh!
ED: It's Cara! Yes!
TJ: Congratulations
to Cara Maria, winner of Vendettas,
and our first-ever solo Challenge champ.
CARA MARIA (laughs): Yeah!
JAMIE: You're stronger, Cara!
-You're stronger, Cara! -I got it, I got it.
TJ: And the Battle of the Bloodlines season champions,
-Cara Maria and Jamie. -(air horn blows)
-(screaming) -TJ: All right, guys.
Hey! What up?
What's up?
(cheering, applause)
I'm-I'm mind-blown. It's Cara Maria, like...
I, as a fan of The Challenge,
have been dying to see her for years.
I know she's an absolute beast.
I know men are normally scared of her.
(laughter)
Oh, (bleep).
TJ.
I'm losing my mind right now.
You know, I'm right here, back where I belong,
right in the Elimination Arena.
I didn't even get voted in. Just-just showed up.
You don't even have to vote me in anymore, TJ.
Elimination Arena? I'm here.
100% my favorite player.
She's an absolute savage. Cara has competed
in 14 Challenges.
Of those 14, she's been to nine finals.
-Wow. -She's been to 19 eliminations.
-Really? -TJ: Of that 19...
(muttering)
...she's won and sent home 13 people.
-(cheering, applause) -JAY: Cara Maria,
one of the biggest faces on The Challenge,
one of the GOATs.
She's won this thing all by herself.
Whoever's going up against Cara Maria
has got their hands full because she's a powerhouse.
TJ: Your job tonight is to eliminate
one of these contenders.
If you are successful,
I'm gonna give you $10,000...
-Shut up. -...of their final prize pot.
TJ: Now, in front of you,
two of these poles
have their names on them, Colleen and Ravyn.
The third pole is Chaos.
The Chaos club means that you can pick any contender
in the Arena except for Berna or Zara.
Without further ado, welcome to the Draw.
-Can I further ado? -Go ahead.
-Ooh. -CARA MARIA: TJ.
Just 'cause you have a 50%-off coupon
doesn't mean to stock the shelves with knockoffs.
-(laughter) -The Arena?
This is my home, and I am here to play, so good luck.
-(laughter) -Um, how many times
-have you been down here, the two of you? -COLLEEN: Twice now.
-CARA MARIA: Twice, you too? -Twice. This is my third.
CARA MARIA: Well, I see what's happening.
Who hasn't been down?
CARA MARIA: Wow.
As someone who used to get picked on,
thrown in over and over again, if there's anything
that I can do to give these two girls a night off
and cause a little bit of chaos,
let me have at it.
I have been in your position multiple times,
and you know what that makes you?
That makes you the frickin' heroes.
RAVYN: Cara Maria,
she is coming in full throttle right now.
I'm kind of here for it.
I think she's strong, I think she's fierce, and I respect her.
Question, if I do pull the Chaos,
if one of these two weren't here,
who out of these three should I pick?
You. Orange shirt.
I-I can only speak for myself.
I'm-I'm not one to throw anybody else under the bus.
All right, so it would be you.
-Okay, but I... -If you don't give a name, it's you.
Here's the thing: I like balls.
And if you were to stand there and say, "Well,
"if not me, this one over here, just because it--
I don't want to be me," so what you're telling me is
you don't really want to get to the end.
So with that, I don't even need to go to the rest of them.
The girls are all (bleep) a brick.
They're all scared.
I'm not gonna lie,
they're the four that are dictating
what's going on in the house.
It's actually quite refreshing
for them to have the fright that's put on them.

MICHELE: To be called out by Cara,
somebody who I don't know at all,
I am not feeling prepared to go into the Arena.
She loves Chaos. She loves Chaos.
This right here is exactly what I wanted.
Michele is sitting way too pretty.
She needs that wake-up call.
And this is it.
Fair enough.
All right, Cara, you can select any contender
you want to go against, including Colleen or Ravyn,
except for Zara or Berna, since they won the challenge.
CARA MARIA: TJ, I think Michele
volunteered herself, so let's play.
-All right, let's do it. -(applause)
JAY: I'm so stressed out right now,
because if Michele goes home, the glue to all my puzzle pieces
is just falling apart.
They are gonna go and round up their own troops,
and I'm gonna be stuck in the middle trying to find a home.
COLLEEN: Thank you.
I know nothing about Michele,
other than Paulie mentioned that
the Michele girl was a bit of a snake on his last season.
Michele's part of the group that's just picking on
these two girls, so, Michele,
it's time to do some work.
-Nice to meet you. -Hi. Nice to meet you, too.
-TJ: How's it going, Michele? -You know,
it was better from up there, but I have never battled
a champ before, one-on-one, so it'll be my honor.
You have the best of the best, as far as I'm concerned.
So tonight's elimination is called Block Head.
There are giant cubes scattered throughout the Arena.
Each cube has two faces
with a section of a pattern on them, and there are
two raised platforms in the middle of the Arena.
When I say go...
-(air horn blows) -Go!
...you will lift, push or flip
your cubes towards your platform.
Do whatever you have to do to complete the pattern.
First one to get it done will win tonight's elimination,
stay in the game, and save that $10,000.
That's my money anyways.
Or...
I'll give you $10,000 of their final prize pot
and you can just walk out of here,
-go home happy. -Nice.
And Michele, remember, you've already lost $40,000,
so it's very important for you to win.
Good luck to both of you, and make it happen.
CARA MARIA: Chaos Maria is in the Elimination Arena.
Coming in as a champion, I think that most people know me
from my eliminations, and I hope Michele gives me a fight.
MICHELE: This is Chaos, and I think Cara
clearly had an idea to pick me from the beginning.
She can have any excuse in the book that she wants,
but I think she was coming for me.
If there's one thing that I know, it's puzzles.
So I'm the brain, she's the brawn.
Not sure which one's gonna win out,
but I'm gonna give it my damnedest.
-NURYS: Let's go, Michele. -OLIVIA: You got this, Michele.
Michele is a true champ by her own. She won Survivor.
Cara Maria, you might have bigger quads,
but Michele has a bigger brain.
All right, ladies, you ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go!
-(cheering) -OLIVIA: Come on, Michele!
JAY: There it is. Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Keep going, keep going.
OLIVIA: Good job, Michele. Use your body.
CARA MARIA: As soon as TJ blows that horn,
I am on. I am locked in.
This is a good morning CrossFit workout for me.
BERNA: Let's go, babe. Let's go.
You're amazing, baby. You're amazing.
NURYS: Keep going, Michele.
These blocks are hella heavy.
I'm feeling an extreme amount of pressure,
not only for myself but also because I feel like
I'm the person keeping this whole thing together right now.
If I go, I don't know where our alliance is gonna stand.
Is it gonna fall apart without me?
I'm concerned for everybody.
MORIAH: Good job.
(exhales): Let's see.
(panting)
Get low, Michele, when it's hard. Get low.
Put your whole body low.
Lean, lean your whole body.
JAMES: Go low.
HORACIO: She's giving up.
Michele doesn't look extremely prepared.
I think she obviously knows what Cara Maria
can bring to the table.
Everybody likes to call Michele the puzzle queen.
So tonight, I mean, if there's an elimination
that could be for her, this is it.
JAY: That's it! Keep going, keep going!
MORIAH: Michele, Michele, next piece.
-ED: Get the next piece! -Go, go, go!
MORIAH: Just grab it.
-ED: Keep it going. Come on. -Pick it up, pick it up.
KYLAND: Michele, don't slow down now.
You got it. This is the time.
JAY: Angle it up, angle it up, angle it up.
There it is. She's gonna block you.
Lean your whole body. Your whole body!
-(grunts) -(Corey laughs)
COREY: Holy (bleep).
-She just literally left it. -NURYS: She blocked her.
-(overlapping chatter) -OLIVIA: Michele...
COREY: She just blocked her with that piece.
Brutal. (chuckles)
If Michele gets eliminated today,
there's gonna be chaos in the house.
People are going to split different ways.
There's gonna be a goddamn war.
ZARA: Push her piece out the way.
JAY: Keep going, keep going. Keep going.
ZARA: Just push her piece out the way, babe.
ZARA: Push her piece out the way!
JAY: Keep going, keep going. Keep going.
ZARA: Just push her piece out the way, babe.
This elimination is called Block Head.
Me and Cara have to move big, heavy blocks
to our stand and solve a puzzle.
I'm feeling exhausted.
JAY: Go, go! Go, go, go, come on!
I have to dig deep, I have to find it within myself to win.
JAY: Go! Go!
You're almost there.
Go, one more. Start going.
-Puzzle, puzzle, puzzle. -Get the middle one.
-JAY: Puzzle. -CARA MARIA: You're there, you're there.
You are not there.
RAVYN: Seeing her in previous seasons,
I don't think Cara Maria is the best at puzzles.
So this is really anyone's game.
How...
is this not working out?
-You are correct. -EMANUEL: Let's go. Let's go, Michele, yeah.
-EMANUEL: Yeah. -(applause)
-MICHELE: Okay. -Good job, Michele!
I need a circle.
Circle, big ring, small ring, white ring.
OLIVIA: Okay, come on, do a big push, Michele.
Push one side, then the other.
The whole house is helping Michele here.
I mean, we want to save that money,
and I think everybody is a little bit butthurt
after Cara Maria just ripped all of us to shreds.
JAY: Keep it going.
-(cheering) -You're in.
Middle, middle. Middle.
NURYS: Come on, Michele.
There you go.
Yeah, Michele.
JAY: Push, push, push! Let's go!
-Yes! -I have no clue.
Yeah, this is embarrassing.
Nothing's working.
I am so brain-dead right now.
I feel like there's just a haze in my brain.
I am the Block Head.
It is me, I, Block Head Maria.
MORIAH: You're the (bleep) best.
She's so worried right now, Michele, good job.
Yeah, Michele!
-Yeah! That's it. -Michele.
MICHELE: Cara, this is Battle for a New Champion.
You walk into our house calling us knockoffs?
You stepped into our home.
You chose the wrong girl, because I'm keeping that 10K.
NURYS: Let's go.
You already beat her. You already won.
This is so confusing.
That's my (bleep) girl, baby!
MORIAH: Push, Michele. (whoops)
Let's go!
-Let's go! -(overlapping shouts)
-Let's go! Push it! -Let's go!
One last push!
(cheering, screaming)
Check.
(air horn blows)
Michele wins.
(cheering)
(cheering continues)
-(whoops) -(Michele laughs)
(laughs): I beat Cara Maria in an elimination.
Oh, my God, my family's gonna die.
My family's gonna die.
I'm shocked.
Best day ever.
(cheering)
Puzzles are my thing, honey.
CARA MARIA: Well.
Not used to losing.
JAY: Michele has beat Cara Maria,
one of the best female competitors in this game ever.
That just goes to show how good
Michele truly is at this.
I mean, these champs got a lot of (bleep) to talk,
but the truth is, the new generation
is looking pretty good.
Michele, you defeated
a champion of the game,
and you ensured that no more money
is being taken from the final prize pot.
(cheering, applause)
-Damn. -Well done, Michele.
-(laughs): Damn. Thank you. -Well done.
-Thank you. -Cara Maria,
thank you so much for coming out here.
You were awesome. Take care of yourself.
You're the best, TJ. Thank you.
-Good job. Good luck. -Thank you.
CARA MARIA: I lost to a champ.
Had I known that this was a Survivor champion,
still would have picked her.
(laughs) Let's be real.
I wanted to cause some chaos.
I heard she's running stuff in the house.
And you know what? She earned it. But, um...
you'll see me here again and again and again, I'm sure.
Michele, you completely killed it.
I really think I needed this.
I've been playing with a lot of my friends, and I look at them
and I'm like, "You guys are so badass,"
and I felt like they could all do it,
and I needed to be reminded that I can, too.
I think people have underestimated me.
I think that they thought
that I was just here for the social game
and a glass of wine, but that's not why I'm here.
I've won Survivor before,
and I'm here to show that I can do it again,
as a Challenge champion.
I'd start focusing
on winning the challenges, because you don't win,
you could be in jeopardy.
All right, I'll see you soon. Get out of here.
(cheering, applause)
COLLEEN: I'm back in the game,
and I'm coming with my army now.
Kyland, ZaZa, Nurys, Ravyn, Horacio.
I come for Jay, Michele and Olivia.
-(cheering) -A champ!
The champ is here!
I'm so ready to mix the house up.
-Okay, okay, okay. -(chuckles)
-She's turning red... -Stop.
I don't get any redder than this.
I lost that.
Like, plain and simple...
-(air horn blows) -Go, go, go!
Today definitely was not my day.
This is so confusing.
My brain was as squiggly as those
symbols there.
I just couldn't see it.
If the challenge was "flip these boxes
"from one end of the Arena to the other
the fastest," all day.
But the thing about The Challenge
that keeps it interesting
is that you could be the biggest,
strongest girl in the room,
you could be the tiniest,
and you never know
what The Challenge is gonna bring you.
You already beat her!
You already won!
I know it's part of the game that there's a totem pole
in every alliance,
and I realize I guess that Rayvn and Colleen
are in the bottom.
I've seen myself in that position and I know
you can really make a name for yourself
if you're constantly in that position.
When you're an underdog,
there's so much fight
to prove everybody wrong.
And where I've always performed my best
is when all the odds are against me.
Get the (bleep) home, baby!
CARA MARIA: For me, the elimination Arena
is so close to my heart because this is where I've really
made who I am.
So I'm taking this one a little tough
but I think that is part of being a champion.
You gotta learn how to take the losses and come back
stronger.
So, that's what I intend to do.
COREY: People are going to have
to finally choose a side.
We've got to start making big moves.
That is not a scared move. I literally just did
-the bravest thing in this house. -JAY: I'm not like
the other boys where you're gonna tell me what to do
and I'm scared. I don't give a flying (bleep).
TJ: Tonight's champion
is a legacy of The Challenge.
(all oohing)
