-Previously on The Challenge... -Meow-meow's here.
There we go. (laughs)
-Meow. -(both laughing)
Did I mention we have a perfect Algorithm?
(laughter)
Motherfucker.
TJ: Everybody got in mind
who they want for their partners?
DESI: There's a lot of people that are like,
"Are they gonna be good
or are they gonna screw me?"
ALYSSA: Dude, where are you going?
There's an emergency at home. So I got to go.
That could fuck me up
because you could leave and then I might have to.
Could you at least maybe just meet in the middle here?
TJ: Today's challenge is called Wreck-reational Driving.
-Go! -(air horn blows)
Left, left, left, left!
(yelps) No, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
TJ: Cayla and Domenick,
congratulations on winning today's challenge.
SARAH: Is this an opportunity to go in and get my money?
Plus,
it makes Tyson then sweat it a little bit.
Leo and Alyssa, I'll be seeing you in the Arena.
All right, everyone, welcome back to the Arena.
Domenick, Cayla, I need you to select
one team to send into the Arena
to go against Leo and Alyssa.
So our vote is for Kyland and Kyra.
TJ: Kyland and Kyra, come on down.
Tonight, you're playing Ball & Chain. Go!
KYLAND: You have to step.
ALYSSA: How many stripes are on the US flag?
Leo, I can't.
-(Leo grunts) -(air horn blows)
TJ: Congratulations, Leo and Alyssa.
You have won, which qualifies you to run my final.
LEO: I'm excited. I got the money I need to run TJ's final.
When I win that $500,000,
I can take it back home
and I'm gonna make sure I take care of everyone.
Time for the Algorithm.
* *
But I'm tired of the Algorithm.
So tonight we're gonna switch it up a little bit.
ANGELA: What?
* *
The Algorithm is perfect. Let's not get it twisted.
But I'm so tired of hearing you complain.
(laughs)
From here on out, this is an individual game.
(exclaiming)
TJ: No longer will you have teammates.
You only have one person, and that is you.
TYSON: If it's just an individual game
with the guys, they're gonna start coming after
the big targets to eliminate somebody that they don't think
they can beat in the final, which is me.
I feel like I need to win again
and have some safety.
All right, so get out of here.
(whooping)
CAYLA: Oh, my God.
(laughing)
Whoa!
BEN: It's not gonna be nicey-nicey.
I might have to put myself into elimination
and try to take someone out that has a bunch of money.
* *
-(whooping) -ALYSSA: Yeah!
LEO: Let's go!
-(whooping) -LEO: Let's go, let's go!
(cheering)
Bye, Algorithm. We ain't sad to see you go.
I want to win on my own or lose on my own.
Yeah, it's really sexy to blame somebody else
for what happened in the game,
but I hate relying on other people,
even though it worked out really good when I couldn't swim.
It's still gonna be two people for elimination.
-You don't think? -I still think it's just gonna...
I think it's gonna be one.
(sighs) That's what... That's what it feels like for Survivor
-and that's what... -DESI: Yeah.
Before, you maybe had a level of protection
with a partner if they were maybe in an alliance
that you were not with.
And that makes me a little bit nervous.
Here's our opportunity to show what we've got.
* *
Now,
your life in the game depends only on you,
which is how I can accept it
-if I win or if I lose. -Right.
Are you and Dom still thinking the Survivors Strong?
DANNY: The numbers say that we should.
If we have each other's back and work to make sure
we're not going head-to-head...
that's a pretty basic plan that we can accomplish
regardless of whatever is thrown on our way.
On Survivor, I was known for winning.
MAN: Ben making quick moves.
-You're good, you're good! -Yeah!
BEN: Here on The Challenge,
I have expected to win every challenge
and I have failed miserably.
So I have to work with Tyson.
He's a great competitor and he's proven a winner.
Plus, I want to beat him in the final
and win the money and win the championship.
And I like doing things the hard way sometimes.
As long as we're all sitting out here,
reconnect and make sure we have an agreement,
I think we'll be fine.
Ben is still down with the Survivors Strong,
and if we all work together, we can get to the final.
Sounds good, but Ben, Sarah and I
don't have enough money to be qualified for the final.
And if there's an easy competitor
that is in my alliance,
then I would gladly take them on
and take their money so I can get to the final.
That's just part of the game.
So I'm ready to get this thing going.
* *
-CASHAY: Are you serious? -Mm-hmm.
JUSTINE: Wait, what?
CASHAY: She's the only girl that doesn't qualify.
She doesn't have her money yet.
SARAH: Yeah.
If I have to go in, I have to go in.
-You know? It comes down to... -Yeah.
SARAH: This is what I've been waiting for.
I came out here, obviously,
to play for myself.
You don't want to go
against me because you will go home
if you go against me.
-We will see a Hall Brawl. -CASHAY: Yo...
* *
(Leo snoring softly)
BEN: I'm not sleeping.
It's not anything about the beds or the pillows.
I was in the Marine Corps and...
This week is hard for me
because it's the anniversary of, um, my buddy's death.
His name was Michael Blake Wafford,
and we called him Blake, and...
He was a good guy. He really was.
You, uh... You just relive those moments
even if you're in the middle of a challenge.
Yeah.
I've talked about this with Sarah
and it's just nice having a solid person,
someone who I can trust
and someone who I have support from
in this house right now.
ENZO: This is it.
I got to get a win. Let's go, man.
Let's do it, bro.
I'm anxious.
It's the first single competition
of the season
and, um... I need my money.
I got no money at this point.
DOMENICK: I know I can win.
JUSTINE: I'm gonna kill this.
ANGELA: I'm gonna kick ass.
-TYSON: I'm gonna step up. -CASHAY: I'm ready to go.
* *
(bell clangs)
* *
All right, everyone. Welcome back to the water.
-(applause) -BEN: Water.
(whooping)
TJ: This is your first challenge
as individuals,
so anything that happens to you,
good or bad,
is 100% your responsibility.
Now, today's challenge,
you're going to be Having a Blast.
To begin, you're gonna be riding on the back of a Zodiac.
Then, you're gonna get up to speed
with a tugboat that is dragging two runways.
Those runways are also covered in soap.
You will jump from the Zodiac and onto one of those runways.
On the runway, there is a safe and a key station.
Go to the key station,
grab a key, race back to the safe,
plug it all the way in.
You'll repeat this process three more times--
four keys in total-- grab a flag,
race it back to the key station.
Your time will be stopped.
So the fastest man, the fastest woman
will win today's challenge,
receive $10,000 to split in their Challenge accounts--
which qualifies you to run my final--
and also be selecting one man to send into the Arena
to go against today's loser, the slowest male.
-Got it? -DOMENICK: It's an individual
men's elimination day,
and all of a sudden,
we know the pressure is on
because there's not many men left in this game,
and now I'm worried
that this could possibly be the end of my game.
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
There's also gonna be two other players
on the back of that tugboat
blasting you with water cannons.
(Leo laughing)
Yeah. This is awesome.
Just for fun.
CASHAY: Take it easy.
Don't spray me in my eyes.
I think that's very rude and it's very inconsiderate.
And I have contacts.
Good luck, everyone.
TYSON: All the Survivor guys
seem like they want to stick together,
but I feel like it's getting a little dicey for me
at this point since I've been
the outright favorite to win this thing
and everyone knows it.
So there's extra pressure
for me to perform well here.
There's people in the house that, if they won,
I would be safe, but there's also people, if they won,
I would definitely not be safe.
And so the best thing I can do is win.
* *
(applause and cheering)
-LEO: Let's go! -CAYLA: Come on, Enzo!
DANNY: Let's go, Ben!
I want my win.
I have no cash to qualify
for TJ's final.
The pressure is on,
and I need to get it now.
(cheering and whooping)
Ben the man is mine... Oh!
(yells)
SARAH: There is soap on this platform and...
we're gonna try and spray the platform
to get as much soap off of it as we can
so the boys can run fast.
Fingers crossed that Ben,
he pulls this out and gets his money to qualify.
TJ: Enzo, Ben, ready?
-(air horn blows) -TJ: Go.
Oh.
(cheering)
Yes.
-SARAH: Ben is moving. -(cheering)
DOMENICK: Enzo, my guy, doing this little baby step.
I don't know what happened. He's bleeding from his leg.
-DANNY: Let's go! -JUSTINE: Go, guys.
DAVID: Let's go, let's go!
-There you go, Ben. -Nice, Ben.
DANNY: Ben shoots off like he's shot out of a cannon.
And you can tell that he will be in the running
for first place in this challenge.
-CAYLA: Good job, Enzo. -Good job, Ben.
Pick up the pace if you can.
-Ben, water or no? -No more.
Wow, look at Ben.
BEN: It's a special day today
and it's my buddy's anniversary
that he passed on and...
and I know he's gonna be running this with me
and pushing me forward.
And so I need to win this not only for myself,
but I need to win this for Blake.
* *
SARAH: Good job, Ben, push it!
Let's go!
CAYLA: Enzo, pick up the pace.
SARAH: Here we go, Ben, hurry!
Let's go!
Good job, Ben, yeah!
BEN: Let's go. Let's go!
Yes. Yes! Come on, baby.
SARAH: Nice, Ben, nice.
CAYLA: Keep it up, Enzo.
There's still time.
BEN: Last one, buddy. Good pace. Good pace.
SARAH: Come on, Enzo, let's go.
Let's go, buddy.
BEN: You got this.
You're almost there.
Good job, buddy.
(applause and cheering)
Sarah is gonna beast mode this shit, dude.
ENZO: Oh, she's gonna beast mode it, bro.
BEN: Imagine if Sarah wins the girls, too.
-If it was me and Sarah... -Yeah, that'd be dope.
That shit'd be fuckin' dope, bro.
-BEN: People would be shittin' themselves. -Oh, hell, hell yeah, bro.
ENZO: They're all rats. They don't want us to win.
BEN: Enzo's great.
He is my light out here.
Trying not to make friends out here
was my goal, but I can't help it with Enzo.
He's so fun.
I'm 'bout to be all... (imitates water cannon)
(both laughing)
TJ: All right, Sarah, Cayla, are you ready?
BEN: Get 'em, get 'em.
-(air horn blows) -TJ: Go.
-There you go. There you go! -(cheering)
(contestants exclaiming)
Cayla's out!
-Oh, Cayla's down! -Aw!
Oh, Cayla's in.
CAYLA: All I can do is, like, laugh at myself.
I'm embarrassed. I'm sorry, Mom.
ENZO: Say hello to my little friend.
BEN: Get your rhythm.
ENZO: You got it, girl. You got it.
SARAH: I only have $2,500
and I need $5,000 to run TJ's final.
So a win is a must at this point
and I would really like to get it
from a daily challenge than having to go into an elimination
because that's how you get sent home.
-Pick it up. There you go. -Let's go! Push it!
ANGELA: I have been trying to keep my distance from Sarah.
She has not spoken one word of game to me ever since
Tyson and Cash threw Sarah into elimination.
This week we've decided on Leo and Sarah.
ANGELA: Ever since then, me and Sarah
have never gotten back on the same foot together
and that's fine, because it's easy to have one person
just to target the whole time.
ENZO: Killing it. Go!
-BEN: There you go, Sarah! -(Enzo shouting)
SARAH: I literally get done
before I realize... I'm like, "Where's Cayla at?"
* *
TJ: All right, Tyson, Domenick, you ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go.
DESI: Get it, Dom!
-(whooping) -SARAH: Go, Dom!
Yeah, they're not spraying them, of course.
No one better spray me, either.
TYSON: Angela, for reals, is the greatest ally
I've ever had on any of these games.
Yeah!
* *
CASHAY: You got it, Dom!
ANGELA: Come on, Tyson, last one.
Good job, you guys.
CAYLA: Tyson.
(contestants whooping)
Dom!
Boom!
Get it, Dom!
(applause and cheering)
TYSON: See, I got the soap all the way off right there.
I think it's definitely gonna help.
Especially, like, your angle right there.
DOMENICK: I don't know that I'm good with Ange, though.
TYSON: You're good with me. I'm good with you.
Number one goal here
for me is if I can win to protect myself.
But if I can't win,
Angela is my number one ally
and if she wins, she can also protect me.
I believe in the Survivor thing.
We're good.
All right.
DOMENICK: Angela is not on my side in the game,
but Tyson thinks we should give Angela an advantage
by spraying some of the soap off of her barge.
I wasn't crazy about that idea,
but I had to show Tyson I was a team player,
so I agreed to it.
It could come back and bite me.
-TJ: Cash and Angela. Go. -(air horn blows)
* *
CONTESTANTS: Oh!
TYSON: Aim it at them.
-DANNY: Faster! -DAVID: Let's go!
DOMENICK: Nice job.
CAYLA: Good job, guys.
(cheering)
SARAH: I don't want to see Angela win.
I feel like she has had, like, the easiest ride
in this game,
and she still hasn't proven herself to be
the competitor that people think she is.
Go faster!
Go, go, go!
Nice job.
TYSON: If I win this, we're all the way good.
We don't have shit to worry about.
That's what I want to hear.
TYSON: This is the most vulnerable position for us today.
-After today, we're good. -After today, we're good.
Nice job, Cash!
(cheering)
TJ: David, Danny, you ready?
-Go! -(air horn blows)
DANNY: I'm ecstatic. I don't have to worry about anybody else.
If I lose, it's on me.
If Kiki was here,
she would tell me, "Ain't nothing more important
than the moola. Go get your money, baby."
JUSTINE: Nice!
ALYSSA: Good job, guys.
Let's get your money. You got to move.
Nice.
David is, like, tiptoeing. (laughing)
DAVID: I'm probably running like a grandpa,
and I see Danny's moving a little bit quicker, so I'm like
"All right, I got to move so I'm not in last place."
ALYSSA: All right, Danny, you're almost done, let's go!
(shouting indistinctly)
JUSTINE: Last one, David.
-Come on. -ALYSSA: There you go.
Let's go, Danny!
(Justine cheering)
Get it, get it.
He's so focused. Look at his face.
(cheering)
All right, David.
(whooping)
-That shit fucked me up a little bit. -(laughing)
TJ: All right, Justine and Alyssa.
-Are you ready? Go. -(air horn blows)
LEO: Oh, shit!
-Let's go. -Let's go!
DAVID: Justine is one of the best competitors in the house.
If Enzo's the top, Justine is equally right up there.
How I would love to see her in the final.
That's my elimination partner. Let's go!
DANNY: Good job, Alyssa.
JUSTINE: No!
Why isn't this going in?
DAVID: Good pace, good pace.
ANGELA: I feel like Alyssa
really has proven herself as a competitor.
She's won one of these challenges.
She's won an excruciatingly brutal elimination with Leo.
I really feel good about Alyssa.
So my strategy moving forward is just
to bond really well with Alyssa, and we'll see what happens.
DAVID: There you go. One more trip.
Keep going, Justine.
* *
-DANNY: You can win this. -DAVID: There you go.
There you go.
* *
Was that fast?
Yeah, you were good, you was good.
TJ: Leo, you ready?
Fresh off an iconic Arena
when I already got the money for the final, but you know,
a little more money didn't hurt nobody.
-(air horn blows) -TJ: Go.
(laughing)
CONTESTANTS: Oh.
-Okay. -All right.
We actually all expected Leo not to make the jump
and to come in last place, but I'm like,
"Is he about to win this?"
DAVID: There you go, Lee.
Good job, Leo.
CAYLA: Nice, Leo.
LEO: I don't want anybody to win this but me.
I'm going to be out for revenge,
especially with Tyson.
I know what I bring to the table.
Sucks to be you.
-DESI: Good job. -CAYLA: You're doing great.
DAVID: We're all like "Oh, shit,
Leo won an elimination. Now he's a new guy."
Tyson is usually the funny one, loud.
Always got the jokes.
And right now, he's quiet.
* *
TYSON: I put Sarah and Leo in an elimination.
And when Leo came back,
he was very upset with me.
If he wins, he would take a shot at me.
So I do definitely feel nervous.
* *
-CAYLA: Wow, he's moving. -DANNY: Wow.
Good job, Leo.
Leo,
his catlike instincts just really came out to play.
I'm gonna be absolutely shocked
if Leo doesn't take this home today.
DESI: All right, Leo.
Way to go.
There you go, Leo.
LEO: I think I just walked on water.
I don't know about you guys, but officially,
you could call me King Leonides of Argentina.
Gracias, Challenge!
(whoop)
Thank you, Challenge gods. I feel great.
I love Argentina. Please give me that "W."
I feel good.
TJ: All right, Desi, you ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go.
(applause and cheering)
(contestants exclaiming)
Oh, no!
-(air horn blows) -No!
All right, you're out. Thanks for playing.
-(laughing) -ALYSSA: TJ!
It's okay. It's okay, Desi.
DESI: Had this been any other challenge,
I could have potentially been going
into elimination the next day.
The only silver lining here
is that it's a men's elimination.
* *
TJ: All right, everyone.
Great challenge today. Nice work.
The one guy
that I'll be seeing in the Arena...
* *
...it's Enzo.
Oh, man.
The medic said I need stitches.
Now TJ hits me with the bad news that I came in last place.
That's devastating for me, right there,
so I'm thinking,
"Man, tomorrow might be my last day here, man."
As for the winners,
two women were only separated by seconds.
That was Sarah and Angela.
However, the one that got it done the fastest was Angela.
Congratulations.
Nice job.
TJ: Angela, you absolutely killed it.
SARAH: I still don't have my money,
and I have hit full panic mode now.
It's definitely nerve-racking.
It's a men's elimination.
This would've been a good one for me to get my money.
For the men, two men
separated by only seconds,
were Leo and Ben.
DANNY: If Leo wins,
we have no idea
who he would target.
He's an absolute wild card.
And one man that won today's challenge...
...was Ben.
(applause and cheering)
(whooping)
-Good job, B. -(laughing)
-(Ben sniffling) -CAYLA: You deserve it.
BEN: I wanted this win so bad.
I just wanted it for Blake and I.
We finally get to share something special
on a day like today
'cause I know he was with me.
Thanks, buddy.
Ben, you and Angela receive $10,000
to split in your personal Challenge accounts.
You're qualified to run my final and safe from elimination.
Now I need you to go back to the house,
deliberate and decide one man
to send into the Arena to go against Enzo.
All right? See you later.
Get out of here.
* *
-Okay. -ANGELA: How's it feeling?
-It's all right. -How many stitches?
-Maybe like three? -BEN: Geez, man.
Maybe like two, but I'm gonna say three
'cause it sounds... it sounds cool.
You were bleeding everywhere there.
-ENZO: Well, congrats on you guys. -ANGELA: Thank you.
-BEN: Thanks, man. -ENZO: You guys killed it.
Yeah. So, what are you thinking, buddy?
ANGELA: Shall we look at the board?
It's up to you guys, man.
You know, whatever's better for your games.
I don't care. As long as they got money,
it gives me a chance to...
-Okay. -ENZO: I'm from the street.
Bro, I'm no pushover, brah. We know this.
I want your money.
Whoever you are, whoever Ben and Angela throw in,
I'm gonna see red
and I'm coming for that money.
I want to come back, you know, so...
ANGELA: And if you come back,
you got your money, you're in the final.
-You're done. -And that's it.
And then I just hide for like a week and a half.
Take a nap. See you at the final, Enzo.
BEN: You know what? Heal that leg up.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, man, so...
Thank you, guys. Congrats again, man, all right?
Hey, good job, man. Thank you.
-That's it? -Yeah.
ANGELA: Getting to win an individual
challenge after winning twice with a partner feels amazing.
And I feel like this could be a really great opportunity to get
close to Ben and maybe make some deals moving forward
with some other people involved.
I think Alyssa has a really good shot at winning
-one of these next three challenges. -Right.
ANGELA: And if she's sketched out by
how many Survivor people there are,
-she's gonna try and take a shot at one of you. -Right.
But if I can make sure that she is good with us,
the only way one of you Survivor guys will go in
is if someone from Love Island wins with either
David or Enzo or Leo.
But in turn,
what I would need from you guys is
if one of the Survivor girls wins
-that you won't try and go after me or Alyssa. -Right.
ANGELA: At this point in the game,
now that this is completely individual,
the people that I am working with have not changed.
It is Tyson number one.
And then, I'm hoping the Big Brother people have my back.
If I can get these four guys on board with me and Alyssa
and then I'm good with Enzo and David,
puts me in a really good spot moving forward.
I'd want this to be just the Survivor guys.
I don't want, like, it to get out to the Love Island girls
-or the Survivor girls. -Yeah, well... Yeah.
-Yeah. -But I need to know that, like, if one of you guys wins
-with Sarah or Desi... -Okay.
...you won't try and go after Alyssa.
BEN: Angela is pitching to me
that she wants protection
from the Survivor guys and the Big Brother girls.
And that puts Desi
and Sarah on the outs.
And it's uncomfortable to me.
It's really uncomfortable.
And I don't like being uncomfortable. (chuckles)
I think Alyssa is a strong competitor.
I think she's here to win. She's proven it time after time.
-That shocked me time after time. -100%.
If you want, you can talk to her.
And I can talk to her.
I genuinely have not even said anything to her.
But I know she's freaked out right now.
So I think if I'd be like "Look, I got a plan for us,"
she's gonna be, like, 1,000% in.
BEN: I want to be at the end with Sarah,
but I need to focus on me and my game.
I need to start reaching out
and building other relationships outside of Sarah.
You kind of just got to be the yes-man.
I'm on board with that, and I think
that's a good game plan, especially moving to the final.
-Yeah. -BEN: So now,
I have to go around to the Survivor guys
to make sure everyone else is on the same page.
I have the money.
Now I'm trying to find whatever protection I can.
I feel like it's just, like, it has to happen.
* *
BEN: What's your relationship with Alyssa?
We're friendly out here, but not working together ever.
-Ever? -I mean, I never have, right?
Okay. Well, Angela thinks
it would be beneficial...
-To bring her in. -Yes.
ANGELA: I talked to Ben first.
I was like "I haven't even told Alyssa this idea."
I want to form a thing with the Big Brother girls
and the Survivor guys and we'll look out for each other,
because if you won a competition,
you have to just say you're not gonna throw any of them in.
If any of them win something, they won't throw us in.
Just because I have never worked with her
doesn't mean I'm not willing to work with her.
This game is not like Survivor.
You can't just go with the set number of people
that you started the game with.
You have to constantly adjust your game and, you know,
adapt to the players that are remaining in this game.
So now I need to make changes
that will help me get to the end.
These girls aren't close with us.
That makes so much sense.
The girls are not on our side, but the guys can be.
-And that's all we need. -And that's all we need.
ALYSSA: I really feel good about Angela.
I feel like we are on the top part
of some of the strongest girls in the house,
so I feel like looking after each other just makes sense.
Tyson's on board.
I sat down with him,
just kind of, like, joking around,
and I was like "I got an idea," and Tyson goes, "I'm on board."
(laughs)
I, like, fist-bumped Angela
and was like, "Thank God you won.
If Sarah would have won, it might have been sketchy for me."
And Alyssa goes,
"Oh, I wouldn't have thrown you in, either."
And I was like, "Oh, yeah, okay." Like...
(both laughing)
I don't know how all this stuff is happening at the same time.
It just came out of nowhere.
So we'll see how this works moving forward.
-I'm happy with it. -Yeah.
* *
DAVID: Every time, if I don't win a challenge,
I prepare mentally and physically as if I'm going in.
I don't want to be surprised.
I want to run in the final and I want to win this money.
People get blindsided
all the time on The Challenge,
and I will never get blindsided.
That will never happen to me.
(exhales)
* *
Blake and I worked in teams of twos over in Iraq,
and I lost him and held him in his arms while he passed.
And that's why today was such a hard day and special day.
And here's to making Blake proud.
So thank you all for being here and celebrating.
-(cheering) -Cheers to Blake.
LEO: Congratulations, Ben.
-Congratulations. -Cheers.
Now let's party.
(whooping)
It's really neat to see everybody honor Blake
because he was a hero.
He was my hero, and I think about him every day--
even more on days like today.
And for everyone to pay him respect on this day
means the world to me.
Even more than winning this challenge.
-Today was the day to do it. -Right.
So I'm happy.
LEO: I couldn't be happier for him.
And you. You killed it.
-Congratulations, first and foremost. -Thanks.
I'll keep it short and sweet,
like, you were like my little angel.
-Your mermaid. -Yeah, your mermaid.
(laughs)
Um, never targeted you. I really want to be here.
If, um, you... keep me, I would name my s...
I'm naming the third cat after Alyssa,
so my fourth cat.
If I get a fourth one, it'll be Angela. (laughing)
If you have any inkling
that you might be going into elimination,
everyone thinks there's a target on your back,
so then they stay away from you, too.
Like you do have a plague.
Um, I felt it the last week,
and now I'm feeling it again, but I'm gonna keep doing
what I have been doing.
It's been working so far.
-How many stitches? -For that?
Yeah. Two, three stitches.
Like, if I didn't come in last place,
I would've had at least a couple of days to heal up,
you know what I mean? Now, it's like... I don't know.
Like, if I don't feel good tomorrow, what am I gonna do?
You know what I mean?
-Dang. -If I can't move, like,
how the fuck am I gonna compete?
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm just like, "Look, let's wait until tomorrow and see."
SARAH: Yeah.
What, like, honest opinions on me going in against Enzo?
DESI: I do think you'd win against him.
-Like, I don't... -I do, too.
SARAH: I am not scared to go in against anybody.
I get it, I'm not gonna have enough money.
But how epic would it be?
In all the seasons of The Challenge,
no female has ever stepped up against a guy.
And to step up and be like, "Bring it."
It's a men's elimination,
but I don't feel like I've proven myself.
And here's an opportunity.
I'm not scared of anything.
Enzo comes back, he got stitches in his leg.
And I've taken on bigger guys than every guy in this house.
I know I'm a badass
and I know I can beat him.
-DESI: I love it. -CAYLA: Seriously.
DESI: It's a big move.
It's a legendary move...
-(laughing) -SARAH: No.
And how many seasons of The Challenge
-has anybody done that? -I mean, never.
SARAH: I want to write my own story,
and this is how I want my story to be.
CAYLA: Sarah's one of the most badass women I've ever met,
because no way in hell would I throw myself down
in an elimination against a guy this close to the final.
But if she's gonna go home because she didn't get money,
I mean, that's worse to her than going home taking on a guy.
-I'll come back. -Yeah, you're confident you'll come back.
100%, I'll come back.
I won't not come back.
I won't even pack my shit.
That's how confident I am I'll come back.
I love that. I...
* *
Oh, shit.
(exclaiming)
ALYSSA: I see the famous Hall Brawl.
I'm super excited
as a Challenge fan to see this.
-Yo... -DANNY: I've been watching
Hall Brawl on The Challenge
for years, and it is really physical.
You run down this tight hallway, you cannot move out of the way.
Go, go, go!
See who wants to take the punishment.
And this is what I live for.
All right, everyone, welcome back to the Arena.
Today is our first individual elimination night.
The one losing male from the challenge was Enzo.
So come on out, Enzo.
* *
-Oh, yeah. Yeah. -TJ: Yep. (chuckles)
DANNY: If there was anybody else down there
and they had the money to qualify me for the final,
I would run straight through them,
tag that bell and tell TJ it's time to go.
TJ: Angela and Ben, since you won the challenge,
you are safe from elimination.
Got ten Gs to split in your Challenge accounts,
which qualified you to run my final, Ben.
-Yes, sir. -Congratulations.
And now I need you to select one man,
to send into the Arena to go against Enzo.
A very fired-up Enzo, by the way.
He's ready.
SARAH: Let me get my hands dirty.
Let me get in the mix.
I want to go in. Put me in.
-I can beat Enzo. -Sure.
SARAH: For me, it's...
I want to show any little girl watching,
if you believe in yourself,
-you can do anything. -Right.
DOMENICK: It can also be reckless.
Like, you're not in danger.
ANGELA: Out of the men we had to choose from,
many of which had an opportunity to throw both of us
into an elimination, and they did not.
So tonight, we want to repay those individuals
and we'll return the favor.
And for that reason, we decided to choose...
...Leo for this elimination.
Sarah, maybe you should focus on trying to win the challenges.
I don't know. It's just a suggestion.
What about you, Ben? What do you think?
After talking with Enzo, the man wants his money
and Leo checked all the boxes for all three of us,
and that's why he'll be going into the Arena tonight.
All right, Leo, come on down.
BEN: It's not good for Sarah.
I'm helping protect you.
It makes zero sense for my game.
It makes zero sense
for her game.
SARAH: It is what it is. I tried.
That's all I can do.
* *
This is my all-time favorite game.
Some of you already know what it is, but in case
you live under a rock,
tonight you are playing Hall Brawl.
* *
As you can see, there's a giant hallway
right behind me here in the middle of the Arena.
To begin,
you're each going to start on either side of that hallway.
When I say go,
you will run as fast as you can,
smashing into your opponent, trying to get past them,
because once you get to the other side,
you got to get to that bell before your opponent.
First one to ring that bell twice
will win tonight's elimination round
and stay in the game.
Losers go home empty-handed.
And tonight, there's a lot of money on the line.
So whoever wins tonight is qualified to run my final.
All they got to do is make it to the end.
-Good luck, everyone. -Thank you, man.
Make it happen.
(applause)
LEO: You know what?
They don't call me "Leo the Afghanimal" for no reason.
I have played football before, you know?
(grunting) Oh, man, just...
I've done some MMA, too. (grunts)
You know, I'm sorry, Enzo. I might have to go for that leg.
They're all scared.
Don't worry, I'm gonna come back,
and then I'm gonna show them what's up.
Cats come in all shapes and sizes.
But today, I'm gonna be Leo The Lion
and show all these fools, I mean, all these snakes,
what I got cooking, okay? Let's go.
Let's go!
-Come on, Leo. -DOMENICK: Good job!
ENZO: I'm running through someone, man.
Let's go.
I don't care, my money's on that other side of that bell, man.
It's no more Mr. Nice Guy, I'm going through him.
That's it.
Good job!
CASHAY: As a fan of The Challenge
about to see a Hall Brawl live,
I'm fangirling.
Especially 'cause it's not me.
TJ: All right, gentlemen, you ready?
-Go! -(air horn blows)
(cheering)
-Stay low, stay low. -(contestants exclaiming)
Fuck.
* *
DOMENICK: So this is Hall Brawl.
This is a Challenge classic.
Two guys running into each other
as fast as they can, and whoever comes out
the other side and rings that bell is the winner.
This is as ruthless as it gets.
All right, gentlemen, you ready?
DOMENICK: Let's go!
Go!
-(contestants whooping) -Come on, Leo!
(grunting)
Ooh...
-(grunting) -TJ: Nice!
BEN: This is not as easy as I thought it was gonna be,
and Leo's showing a lot of heart right now.
He didn't get crushed
like everybody thought would happen.
-Stay low! -Oh, oh, oh! -Oh, shit. Oh, fuck.
(clinking)
Come on, Enzo.
JUSTINE: Let's go, let's go.
It's like Friday Night Lights right now in this hallway.
So let me run through this dude, man. Let's go.
Wow.
Leo, initially stay low.
You got to get low.
Me and Kiki have watched this so many times on TV.
Babe, I'm here.
This is real. I'm watching it live.
I'm not in it. I wish I could be.
But it is as intense
as it looks when we watch it on television.
(sighs) This is hard to watch.
TJ: Round two.
DANNY: Get low, get low.
CAYLA: Stay low, Leo. DANNY: Get low.
TJ: All right.
Score is one-nothing Enzo.
Enzo, you win this one, it's over.
Leo, you got to pick it up. Stay in the game.
All right, gentlemen, you ready?
(muffled): Go low!
-(air horn blows) -TJ: Go!
(cheering)
Go hard, go hard, Leo!
Let's go!
(air horn blows)
DOMENICK: Yeah, baby!
SARAH: Good job, Enzo.
(whooping)
DANNY: Good job, Enzo.
Gia and Nico, that's for you!
You know, I saw red.
That's my money.
That's my family on that other side where that bell is.
I had to run through him, and that's what was my strategy.
Just run right through him. That was it.
These challenges are too hard to win,
but these eliminations are fun.
They're fun. So I made my money.
I got my ticket.
Let's go, man. It's game on.
Catfish, brother.
-I love you. I love you, man. -Great job, Leo!
-Way to go, Leo! -Good fight!
I just bad for him. I just know he wanted it so bad.
(sniffles)
I just feel bad for him.
Leo is defeated,
and there are three guys
standing up here that have not gone down
into an elimination.
It's soul-crushing, because I believed
Leo deserved to be here.
PRODUCER: Do you feel good walking out
and saying goodbye to everyone?
I don't know. I think it's pointless.
I'm not used to living in a house
with a bunch of messy strangers.
You guys are all snakes, okay? You all snakes.
Minus Cayla and Sarah. And Desi.
And maybe another couple. I don't know.
See you later.
TJ: All right, well...
Leo's in the back, taking a moment to himself.
Unfortunately, he lost tonight's elimination round,
so he's out of the game.
But you have won.
So, congratulations.
You won all of his money, as well,
which means you are qualified to run my final.
So, Enzo,
all you got to do is make it to the end.
Good luck, man. Go ahead and rejoin the group.
I love you, Catfish Leo. It was nothing personal.
He got his two cats at home.
He's got his beautiful girlfriend.
So, you know, it'll be good. It'll be good.
(laughing)
All right, well, great elimination tonight.
Enzo, good work.
Remember, all of you are also competing to earn a spot
in the first ever Challenge world championships,
exclusively on Paramount+.
All you got to do is make it to the end.
I'll see everyone real soon. Get out of here.
JUSTINE: Now that it's individuals,
I'm so nervous because this game is changing.
It's changing fast.
But the goal is to just
stay my ass out of elimination.
I've been in there
twice too many, and that's enough for me.
