The Challenge: Ride or Dies (2022)

[One]

T.J.: Alright, I am so inspired by you two women, and all of the women here, that I have brought a special guest to watch you absolutely kill it tonight. She is my ride or die, my wife, Roxanne Lavin

Roxanne: Thank you baby, but I am here to watch you badass ladies compete. You've both come so far. I can not wait to see how this plays out. So let's get it. Kill it ladies!

T.J.: Alright, let's get you clipped in

Moriah: Good luck Nany

Nany: Good luck girl

T.J.: Alright ladies, ready? Go!

Neuti (Unite)
Lialse (Allies)
Rrptnea (Partner)
Otedonvi (Devotion)
Monpicnao (Companion)
Snedirihfp (Friendship)

Nany completes the first word (Unite)
Nany completes the second word (Allies)

Nany (DR): I feel like I have a pretty good pace right now. Once I got the first two words done, I started to realize that all of these words are going to be words that kind of fit the theme of ride or die

Moriah completes the first word (Unite)

Nany gets the third word (Partner)

Kaycee (DR): What people don't know about Nany is she's a very good writer. With someone that really loves to write and sees words all the time, that's a huge advantage. I'm just hoping that she can just stay calm and move faster than Moriah

T.J. (to Roxanne): She is getting all the letters first, then solving. That's a horrible strategy.

Roxanne: Okay

Moriah completes the second word (Allies)

Moriah (DR): Coming into this game, I didn't think I would last that long, but now that I'm here, I have dealt with so much stress and constant fear, I think that it's made me a better person and I want to see this through. I want to be here til the end

Moriah completes the third word (Partner)

Nany (DR): I am drawing a blank. I have no idea what this would could be, and I'm starting to panic a little bit inside

Moriah completes the fourth word (Devotion)

Faysal (DR): I'm not gonna cheer for any of these ladies because I don't really know where anybody's loyalties lie anymore. I thought Moriah had my back. She's burn voting every chance she gets. So, I'm gonna just keep my mouth shut and let this one play the way it plays out

Nany gets the fourth word (Devotion)

Devin (DR): This is one of the most intense eliminations I've ever seen, and no one has laid a hand on the other one. I'm mind blown here. These two are neck and neck right now. Nany's gotta pick this up

Moriah completes the fifth word (Companion)

Nany completes the fifth word (Companion)

Nany (DR): It doesn't take me longer than maybe two seconds to realize that this word is friendship. I can feel myself shaking right now because I know that the clock is ticking and I am almost done with this game

Both scream for a check

Nany: I said it first. I said it f***ing first

T.J.: Gotta hit the button. Hit the button. Hit the button

Moriah hits the button

Moriah: I pushed it first

Nany (DR): Moriah and I hit our buzzer, probably a millisecond apart so I'm panicking a little bit. I'm thinking that maybe I lost this elimination

Moriah: Check the cameras

Tori (DR): Moriah hits the buzzer first, and I mean everybody's heart is just straight in the like... Nails bitten off. Did Moriah just win this elimination?

Moriah: Aw f***. I f***ed up. I spelled something wrong

T.J.: Moriah that is incorrect. Nany, you got it right

Moriah: I spelled Devotion wrong

Faysal: Great season Moriah

Moriah: Thanks guys.

Moriah (DR): I know how to spell devotion, but I spelled it wrong. I mixed two letters, and when I looked back at my board, I definitely made a rookie mistake

Nany (DR): I can not even describe how I'm feeling right now. I needed to remind myself why I'm here, and I am back, and I am just ready to keep going and I'm ready to get to the end, and I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get to that final.

T.J.: Great job tonight ladies

Roxanne: Yes, that was intense right up to the very end. You guys both did amazing

Moriah: Thank you

Roxanne: Ride or dies stick together. I'm gonna stick with my ride or die. I want you guys to get to it

T.J.: She's pretty good at this game huh? Wow. Alright. Well Moriah, you're a solid individual

Moriah: Thank you. I appreciate it.

T.J.: It was a very tight race. So, great job. I really hope we see you in the future

Faysal (DR): Honestly, I'm super proud of her. We did very well together, and she had one hell of a rookie season and she should hold her head proud. But at the end of the day, our team is still strong, and we still have all of our ladies left

T.J.: Take care. See you later

Moriah (DR): I feel like Fessy is secretly happy that I'm gone because he's made it very clear that this game is about him and whenever he needs me it's because he needs me for his game, and never for my own

Bananas 9DR): I've obviously lost someone I've gotten really close to in this game, but my ride or die is still here. I think if anything this has just relit her fire and hopefully got her really focused in on the game because it's only gonna get more difficult from here on out.

T.J.: Nany, I am so happy for you

Nany: Thank you. I'm so happy too

T.J.: Nany, you look like the old Nany again

Nany: I came back to life T.J.

T.J.: Nany

Nany; It feels so good. It feels good. I went into this very confident and, you know, I'm grateful that I got it done.

T.J.: We are all so so happy for you

Nany: Thank you

T.J.: And you couldn't have done better. Really

Nany: I appreciate that

T.J.: that was bad ass. To say the least. So, everyone, I'll see you very soon. I mean, welcome her back into the game. Take care Nany. Great job.

Nany (DR): My whole purpose for being here this season was to be strong and remember that my mom would want me to be here, and now I just gotta push forward. F***. I said I wasn't gonna cry in interviews anymore

Kaycee: Your mom saw all of that. She was right with you baby. Yeah!

Kaycee (DR): I'm so glad that she fought her way back into this game. I'm so proud of the strength that she has shown every single day. I love you mwah. Now come back home to me. That was too close


Moriah returns to the Zone

T.J.: Why don't you come up here?

Moriah

Moriah: Yes

T.J.: I've told you time and time again. You live and die by your ride or die. So, just so you know, you're not completely out of this game yet

Moriah: Really?

T.J.: Yeah, really. Because your ride or die just so happens to be Faysal, who is still in the game. So if Faysal can keep himself from being eliminated, then you still have a chance of getting back into this game...

Moriah: Oh my God. Okay

T.J.: and winning one million dollars

Moriah: ugh. I could cry

T.J.: Go ahead (laugh)

Moriah: That's soft. That's soft I'm not crying, Are you kidding?

T.J.: Yeah, no. There's still a chance

moriah: Okay

T.J.: Alright?

Moriah: Yes

T.J.: So good luck

Moriah: Thank you, I really appreciate it

T.J.: No worries

Moriah: This is nice

Moriah (DR): Fessy, I'm mad at you, and I have a lot of words I want to say to you, but please stay in the game because I really want to be there, and I want to come back.

[One]

Kaycee (DR): So now that my ride or die, my brother, is out of this game, I'm grateful that I still have Nany. I am so proud of Nany on her performance. She absolutely killed it.

She really needed that reset and that reminder of why she is here

Olivia: We could've lost someone tonight

Bananas (DR): I'm bummed Moriah's gone but I think everyone right now is we're just all trying to figure out what the next twist in the game is going to be. Cause we know that if there's one thing TJ likes to do it's lull us into submission and pull the rug out from under us.

Kaycee: How you feeling Fess?

Faysal: I'm feeling good

Kaycee: Your ride or die's gone. She's out the game

Faysal: I mean it's just a game, you know, we switched up teams

Faysal (DR): Moriah just went home and you know ever since we split up teams, me and her hadn't been that close but I am very thankful that I brought her into this game. I don't know if her leaving is gonna hurt me or benefit me

Faysal: I'm glad we got four strong girls still on our team. That's why I picked y'all. I hand picked all of y'all.

Tori: I love you guys. Let's wrap this up. I'm proud of our team. Cheers to absolutely nothing. Love you guys

Nany (talking with Horacio, Jordan, and Devin): What I love about this team is that I have three guys, they're going to give their all whether it's a girls day or a guys day. Next guys day is coming up. You will get 110% out of both of us

Amber: Both of us. Yep

Horacio: That's what we want

Nany: Yeah, as long as you show up, we show up, and vice versa

Horacio: Every time

Horacio (DR): My team, we are losing, but we just gotta keep moving forward. I know that there has been rookies in the past that made it to the finals and even won the entire challenge, and I want to be part of that group

Devin: I'm gonna raise a can to Moriah, our team captain. You know. My team captain.

Jordan: thank You for assembling us

Nany: Yeah, thank you Moriah


Horacio brings Olivia roses and tells her a happy birthday

Olivia D(R): There is absolutely no one I trust in this house as much as I trust Horacio. If I don't win, I want him to

Olivia: In this game, obviously things are like crazy. Even with Moriah leaving, I'm sad, that's somebody I could go to. And then Nelson, and then Nurys, and I'm like... I'm going through. So little things like that, they do mean a lot.


Tori and Aneesa talk

Tori: I don't know I feel... I don't know how to say it. I really just feel like we can make it together. That would be so fun

Aneesa: Everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. So...

Tori: Yeah

Jordan (DR): In this game, you have to separate real life and the game, but being in this game with Tori is very difficult. However, I have to put myself first now. I don't have to play this game for Tori anymore. That ship has sailed

Tori: So if the other team won and they had the power, do you think Jordan would say my name?

Aneesa: No

Tori: You don't think so? Even though we really haven't talked?

Aneesa: Nope

Tori: Really?

Aneesa: yeah

Tori: Did you talk to him?

Aneesa: No

Tori: You just have a feeling?

Aneesa: mmhm


Tori (DR): Playing with Jordan and playing with Aneesa has been really interesting to navigate, because they're ride or dies, she's my best friend, he's my ex-fiance. The communication between him and I isn't great, so sometimes I do have to go to Aneesa and kind of get that confirmation from her

Tori: I just think he has to have a talk with me. I just think like eventually it has to happen

Aneesa: What talk is he gonna have?

Tori: I don't know, I just think like everything dude, come on, after the whole

Aneesa: I just don't think this is the place. Do you?

Aneesa (DR): Enough of their sh**. If I'm sick of it, I know everybody else is. My biggest fear is that Tori loses focus and loses sight of the goal here. Which is a million dollars

Aneesa: I get it's a game and we're playing that, but there's also like real feelings here, you know, and I think you both are trying to navigate it by doing other weird sh**

Tori: Yeah

Aneesa: (laughs) Especially you f***ing weirdo.

Tori: Thank you

Aneesa: But I love you. Yeah

The challengers walk past the building involved in the daily challenge [looks like the building from The Challenge USA]

Amber (DR): Chauncey's biggest fear is heights, and I just see his soul has just left his body

T.J.: Alright everyone, welcome back to the Challenge here on Ride or Dies. Here we are. On the beatufiul rooftop in the middle of the beautiful city of Beunos Aires. This is going to be increddible. Today's challenge is called "Takes Two to Tango"

First of all, you're gonna put yourselves in pairs. We have an uneven number of players, so one player from each team is gonna have to go twice. Then one pair at a time, you're gonna take your place at the start line, when I say go, you're gonna dance your way into the sky on that very narrow beam. Along the way, there are a couple of obstacles to shake things up a little. When you hit one of those circles, you and your partner are gonna spin around just like the tango. All you gotta do si get to the end, turn around, and get back to the start, in 10 minutes. I fyou don't, then you will be yanked off and dropped 20 stories to the ground.

Chauncey: Nah...

T.J.: So, the team with the pair who clocks the fastest time will win today's challenge, be safe from elimination, and also interrogate all the men from the losing team. Good luck. This is going to be good!

Faysal and Tori

Tori: Uh, well I think it's safe to say that going first is gonna be absolutely crappy but whatever, here we go. Let's put our team on the map

Faysal: I mean, we've danced a time or two in the past so

Tori: Oh my God. I knew you were gonna pull some sh** out like that

Faysal: So I mean, if it ain't broke don't fix it

Faysal (DR): The scariest part about this challenge is obviously the heights but when you have to go first, that's what makes it even more nerve-racking because we want to set the tone, and go fast, but we don't wanna slip and fall 300 feet down.

Tori: Honestly, Fessy is making this even more difficult, because he's so nervous, I can feel him wobbling, and about to knock me off this platform. I mean, why does he have to be so large? Why?

Faysal: I'm the biggest dude here, by far. I'm 6'5, but that's how I strived in athletics my whole life was body control and balance. I think I have the best balance here and I'm looking forward to proving it right now.

Faysal and Tori complete the challenge

Aneesa and Chauncey

Chauncey: This is by far my biggest fear and I... I... I feel like sh**, honestly. The first height challenge was already tough fo rme, and this one is, I don't know.

T.J.: Alright Chauncey, Aneesa, you ready?

Chauncey: I don't think I can do this T.J.

T.J.: Chauncey, you said you don't think you can, but I know that you can

Chauncey: I can't do it. I can't

T.J.: Chauncey, you are not a quitter. Come on. You are not a quitter

Amber: You can do it. Just try.

Devin: Chauncey, the other team's over here cheering for ya

Jordan: Come on Chaunce

Chauncey (DR): I'm not listening to what T.J. is saying. My mind is somewhere else, and that is back on the ground

T.J.: Get your ass out there and give it a go bro. You got this

Faysal: It's a guys day, and we nneed you so I know you're scared, but everybody's scared so just pull your sh** together because we need to get this done.

T.J.: Chauncey

Chauncey: The last one was tough

T.J.: You already jumped off this building. I'm not even asking you to jump off. I'm asking you to stay on.

Aneesa (DR): I need a partner that's like "You are capable of doing this. We can do it. I got you." Can't really show up for a guy that won't show up for himself

Chauncey: This is my biggest fear. I can't. I can't overcome this

T.J.: (sounds horn) Alright, that's it

Tori: If this has repercussions on our team, I mean I can tell you right now, we're gonna be pissed. I just hope it doesn't affect the guys, because obviously it's a guys day

T.J.: Chauncey, you let your team down. But remember, the fastest pair will win this for their team. There's still a shot man.


Jordan and Nany

Nany: We know how important it is to win. It is a guys elimination coming up, and we know last challenge the guys really pulled through for the girls day so it's definitely going to be a challenge where the girls show up

T.J.: Alright, Jordan, Nany, you ready? Go!

Horacio (DR): I have never tango'd before. I've danced salsa, cumbias, merengue. This is definitely not my idea of dancing.

Jordan (DR): Nany is back in the game. After winning a very close elimination against Moriah, and it has lit a fire. She came alive, and you can tell. She's changed coming back into this game.

Jordan and Nany complete the challenge

Jordan: You're so good. You were so good

Nany: (laughs) Thank you. You too. Thank you though


Amber and Devin complete the challenge

Olivia and Bananas

Bananas (DR): Olivia is absolutely terrified of heights. While on the surface, I may look like this is something that I'm okay doing, I'm absolutely dying on the inside.

Olivia and Bananas complete the challenge


Horacio and Nany

T.J.: Horacio, Nany, you ready? Go!

Nany (DR): I'm going to take one for the team, and I'll go twice. I know what to expect. I have a really good feel for it, and we can not afford to lose any more players on our team. All I really have to do is pretty much lead Horacio through this challenge. I'm really impressed with him.

Devin (DR): Horacio and Nany are the best dancers I have ever seen. This is how The Challence was intended to be played. I gotta like our odds here.

Nany and Horacio complete the challenge


Olivia (DR): I am so proud of my partner. I'm like that's right. Even though you're not on my team. So proud.

Nany: You did so good.

Horacio: That was so good

Nany: So so good


Kaycee and Faysal

Amber (DR): I just see basically Fessy dragging Kaycee. SHe's just on her literally point tip-toes this entire challenge.

Kaycee (DR): Call me freaking twinkle toes

Faysal: (Lifts Kaycee across the finish line) Get your ass over there Kaycee

Faysal and Kaycee complete the challenge

Faysal: Don't get much better than that

Kaycee: Alright, let's get the f*** off this building

T.J.: What an amazing challenge tonight. Well done all of you. But the pair that did this the fastest, winning it for their team was...

Faysal (DR): I feel like Kaycee and I, Tori and I, did very well but, I was watching Horacio/Nany and they looked really well doing it, but I'm just hoping that Kaycee and I or Tori and I were faster

Jordan (DR): Tonight is ultra important to win. It's a guys day. We can not spare a guy. Period. We can not spare a guy. We can't spare a girl. Our team can not lose, at all.

T.J.: The fastest time of the night was Faysal and Kaycee

Faysal (DR): This is probably one of the best feelings this deep in the game because this was a must win, and just to get it done, it feels good man. It feels good to come through when you need to

T.J.: You hands-down won that challenge for your team.

Horacio: Wow

T.J.: That was unbelievable

Jordan (DR): I'm pissed. We're the losers. It's a guys week. So we will be going into interrogation. I'm incredible proud of our team, but I am pissed that we did not get this win.

T.J.: Go back to the house. Interrogate all three men from the losing squad, and I'll see you in The Zone.

 

[One]

Pre-Interrogation

Bananas: My personal opinion, I'm gonna leave Devin off as the direct vote. I think Jordan and Horacio, if we're thinking of athleticism, endurance, they just bring a lot more to the table in that regard.

Bananas (DR): If there's some way that we could get one of them in, that'd be huge. It will make their team substantially weaker, and in effect, make ours stronger.

Aneesa: I feel the same, like, Devin is one of my close friends and Jordan, when I worked with him, he was great for me, I don't know if that's gonna show up later in life, but

Faysal: It's not

This dude took the shot at me when it happened, you know, and it's... it kind of is what it is at this point.

Faysal (DR): Jordan's proven himself. He's won three times, and he's taken a shot at me, so I have every reason to vote him in

Bananas: It sounds like everyone is in agreement that Devin is not gonna be the direct vote. Let me ask you this Tori. Is there any way that you would put Jordan's name up there? As direct vote?

Tori: I just like wonder what he would do if he were in my position. I almost feel like "f*** you" to Jordan, and I kind of want to say his name. I wanted to see where everybody else's votes were gonna go and see if I was gonna be a deciding factor or not.

Tori (DR): I'm tired of feeling like I'm putting my neck out for somebody that won't communicate with me. I can tell you right now, there's a part of me that thinks that I might just do it.



Interrogation

Devin first

Group: Hey Devin.
Hey (laughs)

Devin: Alright, look at the board. And then just think about not voting me in, you know? Pretty much all I got.

Tori: Is there somebody that, like let's say you don't pick the dagger

Devin: I don't know. I imagine it's probably split and there's gonna be a swing in here somewhere, so...

Oh... you're the swing

Tori: I don't know yet

Devin: You gonna pick a professional soccer player? Or a triathlete, with a bad attitude? Like, are those my options? Like, I don't know

Bananas: Let me ask you this. As her bestie

Devin: mmhm

Bananas: Based on the way this season has gone, should she feel any sort of way if she was gonna say Jordan's name?

Devin: I don't know where it is from literally moment to moment

Tori: Yeah

Devin: And so I genuinely feel like it's gonna be a gametime decision on how you feel in the moment

Tori: mmhm, okay

Devin: preciate you guys


Horacio enters the room

Horacio: How you guys doing?

Group: How are you?

Horacio: Could do better, but I'm here

Faysal: I've said your name, couple times. I told you it was nothing personal. I know we don't talk. I just want to let you know like I see myself in you, rookie season, like when you don't win, you get aggravated and you gotta just let that sh** go.

Bananas: Forget about it right away because if not, it's gonna eat you up dude

Bananas (DR): Horacio is the real deal when it comes to competitor. I mean, we've thrown the guy in multiple times but he is like herpes dude, you just can not get rid of the guy.

Tori: If there is anything else you wanna get off your chest or say it, this is a good time to do it

Horacio: I'm not scared of going into the sand. I don't want to go in, but I know the chances are high.

Olivia: No matter what happens, I know you're gonna come back.

Olivia (DR): I think Horacio went from being a rookie as an easy target to now people see Horacio as a threat. He can't win. First he's a rookie, now he's a threat... ugh. I wish I could do more to help

Horacio: Alright. Thank you guys



Jordan

Bananas: Well Jordanimal, we obviously have a decision ahead of us.

Jordan: Fess, you owe me so, give it back

Faysal: (chuckle) I mean it's gonna be hard for me not to say your name because you've won three times. One's a rookie, and the other's lost every time he's been there

Jordan: Exactly

Faysal: And that's kind of my mindset. You know, I know you got strong connections up here, and all that, and...

Tori: Obviously we've had a roller coaster of a season, and I feel like, you know, if roles were reversed, there's a chance that you wouldn't say my name

Jordan: There's not a chance. It's 100% lock

Tori (DR): I don't have my mind made up about what name I'm gonna say, and Jordan and I just don't communicate well, so I'm actually gonna use this as an opportunity to express myself, even though it's probably not the best time to do it but, I feel emotionally drained, exhausted, it's just a floodgate right now that's been opened. So I just feel like I'm not gonna be able to hold back anymore

Tori: I feel like you blew up my sh** last time you were in power. Calling me a terrorist, you never even apologized for that.

Jordan: I do feel like if you hold something hostage over somebody then it's like... it's kind of a terrorist. You're just a terrorist of loove.

Jordan (DR): Tori's upset that I called her a terrorist. That's fair. But, do not dangle our personal relationship for a decision made in this *game*. I voted Fessy in because no one is gonna try and use my love as a hostage.

Jordan: You play a messy game

Tori: This isn't even a messy game Jordan

Jordan: It is! You wanted your friends safe

Tori: And what did you say?

Jordan: And I said I am 1 or 7 at this time

Tori: that is not what you said (laughs)

Jordan: And I said

Tori: You're a f***ing liar bro

Jordan: Before we left

Tori: That is not what you said!

Bananas: What did he say?

Tori: He said he's down to play ball. You agreed to it, and then you went back on it

Jordan: And then when Nelson...

Tori: And then you went back on it!

Jordan: Stop f***ing yelling at me!

Tori: You literally drive me insane

Jordan: Why are you yelling? Why are we doing this?

Aneesa (DR): I want off the Tori/Jordan ride. I got my money back.I took the ids out of the park. We are on our way home. I do not want to see this.

Tori: You drive me crazy

Jordan: That's on you. If you can't deal with it, f*** off.

Tori: Alright cool

Jordan: When someone tries to hold our personal relationship, and not just a friendship. We're not just some people who are good friends after this. We're not just some people who've done a couple challenges together. We were gonna spend the rest of our lives together. That's how much we were in a relationship. So.. no. For you to come and hold that over my head, in a game of make believe. I'm hurt that you would even say that. Lie to me next time. Just lie.

Tori: (breaks into tears)

 

[One]

Jordan (talking to Horacio): So Tori started grilling me. "She's like you blew up my spot", and I was like "I mean, you played a messy game" and even after Tori grilled me, I was like, I still would never say your name

Horacio: I know you wouldn't yeah

Jordan: That's just how I am

Horacio: I know

Jordan: These are my morals and standards, alone

Horacio: mmhm

Jordan: So yeah. I'll get Fessy's vote, I'll get Kaycee's vote

Horacio: It's gonna come down to one vote man. I know you guys are not gonna put your relationship on the line for someone you just met. You're not getting Tori's vote man. I know you're not. I don't know what the next step for you guys is, but I know that you guys have each others' back

Jordan: This is no place for love.

Horacio: Yeah. I'm new to this, but I've got to see that real quick

Jordan (DR): Horacio and I have come to be really good friends, and I trust him. Horacio is one of the best dudes that's come into this game

Jordan: Just trying to have a friendship with her, you know, is very difficult, and that's like, I... I don't know.

Horacio (DR): For the first time I feel like Jordan is not 100% ready to compete, you know? This guy is always in the zone, working out, running, and I kinda see a side of him right now that's... feeling low. I think it's more the Tori situation with him, more than anything


Tori (DR): It's very clear at this point in time that Jordan and I can not work together. I don't have my mind made up about what name I'm gonna say. Some people want to put in Jordan, other people want to put in Horacio to be safe. It's not easy.

Devin (DR): Getting kind of tired of packing my bags, but I gotta get my head on right because tonight I might have to fight a monster for my right to stay in this game. This is my seventh time playing this game.I want to go to my third final, and I want to win.

 

[One]

The Zone

Bananas: This is a good one

T.J.: (laughs)

Bananas (DR): We see a good old fashioned head banger. This is a classic ladies and gentlemen. This is a game of balls in.

T.J.: Alright everyone, welcome back to The Zone. Winning team. You had to interrogate all three guys from the losing squad, and now, you have to select one of them to compete in The Zone tonight, so let's bring them out.

These are three solid individuals. And now, the winning team has to choose one of them to come in The Zone and fight for their right to stay in the game right here, right now. Aneesa, which one is it going to be, and why?

Aneesa: I came in here with a certain someone, and I am friends with another person down there, so I'm sorry Horacio, I will be picking you tonight.

(Horacio - 1)

T.J.: Alright, one vote for Horacio. Faysal.

Faysal: He told me he wouldn't say my name. He did. So, it's gonna have to be Jordan tonight.

(Horacio - 1, Jordan - 1)

T.J.: Alright. Olivia

Olivia: So, obviously I'm not gonna say my ride or die, and so I'm gonna go with Devin

(Horacio - 1, Jordan - 1, Devin - 1)

T.J.: Alright, so that's one vote for Devin. Chauncey

Chauncey: Tonight, I'm gonna have to say Jordan's name

(Horacio - 1, Jordan - 2, Devin - 1)

T.J.: Alright. Kaycee

Kaycee: I'm gonna do what makes sense for me and that's to vote for Horacio

(Horacio - 2, Jordan - 2, Devin - 1)

T.J.: Alright. Tori

Tori: I mean, um, this decision was super hard. Obviously I'm not gonna say Devin's name, he's my best friend. Um, Jordan and I have a lot of history. Some of it being really good. Some of it being really bad...

Jordan (DR): It really kills me when I see Tori get as emotional as she's getting. Because I feel that too. When I'm dealing with someone that I love so much, it's just hard. It's really... hard.

Faysal (DR): Tori, are you voting him in or not?

Tori: So, unfortunately...

T.J.: Alright, so the score is 2 for Jordan, 2 for Horacio, and 1 for Devin. Tori

Tori: I mean, um, this decision was super hard. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to say Horacio's name tonight.

(Horacio - 3, Jordan - 2, Devin - 1)

Jordan (DR): I think deep down for both of us, there's always this question mark of like "What if? What if it could?" And I think that that will always underline every single decision we make in regards to one another.

T.J.: Alright, and last but not least, Bananas.

Bananas: It all comes down to relationships, T.J., and I just have better relationships with two of the guys down there in the sand. Said Horacio's name every time, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. My vote's gonna be for Horacio.

T.J.: Horacio, you're down here with me.

Horacio: Yes sir

T.J.: The rest of you, take your place at the draw

Faysal (DR): If it was up to me, I would've chosen Jordan. He's the biggest threat. I don't agree with it, but at least if Devin could pull the safe dagger, we would still potentially get the Jordan/Horacio match up

T.J.: In front of you there are two daggers. One of them is safe. That's the one you want to pull. You don't, you're down here with me, going against Horacio. Why don't you start us off Devin. Just remember if you touch it it's yours.

Devin walks straight to the right hand dagger (safe)

Faysal's team: ohh!

Tori: Good luck boys. Good luck Horacio. Good luck Jordan

Devin (DR): Call me young dagger. It's my hip hop name. Cause I'm pulling safe daggers. Yet again. Your boy. Mic drop.

T.J.: Alright Devin. That dagger is safe. Go ahead and rejoin the group. Jordan? You're down here with me

Bananas: This is like a pay per view event dude

Bananas (DR): Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, because you're about to see a show

T.J.: So Jordan, Horacio, tonight you're playing an elimination classic. It's all about force, speed, and strength. Yep, that's right, "Balls In". As you can see there is a goal, right here in the middle of The Zone. To begin, one of you is gonna be playing offense. One of you is playing defense. The offensive player's job is to score the ball. Defensive' player is to prevent them from doing it. We'll do three rounds with an offensive and defensive play within each round. Best of three wins tonight's elimination round. Good to go. Got it? Good luck gentlemen. Let's do it.

Horacio: Let's do it

(Horacio and Jordan embrace)

Jordan (DR): Whether I was the direct vote or not, I had a feeling I was coming into The Zone tonight, so I've been ready. Every time I'm in elimination, I look at it as an opportunity, to be great. Horacio's a great competitor. He's strong, he's quick, he's gonna be agile, so this is gonna be an awesome fight. I got tremendous respect for him. I'm just sorry it had to be him tonight.

Horacio (DR): Once again, down in The Zone. No stranger to this so, hopefully that experience can help me out tonight. I feel like I've grown a connection with Jordan. This is part of the game, so you know I'm gonna give it my full 100. I respect him, but I'm not scared of him. Gonna have to be very light on my feet today. Years of soccer comes into play today. Hopefully I can get this win and just shock the entire house.

 

[One]

T.J.: This is it boys. Jordan on offense. Horacio on defense. Ready? Go!

Jordan (DR): In these physical games, my strategy is always take it to them. Let them know, I am not gonna play around, and I want you to feel everything. Early.

Jordan scores

(Jordan - 1)

Horacio (DR): Time to go to work. He gave it to me, so let's go.

T.J.: Alright, the score is 1-0 Jordan. Horacio, you're now on offense. Jordan, you're on defense. Ready? go!

Horacio jukes Jordan

Faysal (DR): Horacio hits him with a little 1-2 shake in the sand, and I don't think Jordan even saw this coming. I've kinda not been giving Horacio credit all season but I mean this move was nasty.

Horacio scores

(Jordan - 1, Horacio - 1)

Nany (DR): What people don't realize is it is extremely hard to fake out Jordan. He is just a very smart strategic competitor. So the fact that Horacio was able to do that just says a lot about him.

T.J.: Alright, the score is 1-1, all tied up

Horacio (DR): Since I was 5 years old chasing the dream of becoming a professional soccer player, kind of half-way making it there, you know, and not getting that big opportunity that I've always wanted, this is an opportunity now that life as thrown at me, like alright maybe soccer wasn't for you, but life just throws something at you, goes a different route, and I'm here now.

T.J.: Ready? Go

Jordan (DR): I hope that my legacy is one that is tenacious and I want to be known as the guy who every time I stepped into the sand, every single eye was looking down there because you couldn't wait to see it. Win or lose, we're gonna put on a show.

Jordan and Horacio hit the ground. Jordan shrugs him off, gets up, and scores

(Jordan - 2, Horacio - 1)

T.J.: Alright, the score is 2-1 Jordan. You ready? Go!

Olivia (DR): I have learned that Horacio, under pressure sometimes freaks out, but I will say, he's very very good at getting it back and learning quickly and adapting, and that's exactly what he's doing.

Horacio shakes Jordan again and scores

(Jordan - 2, Horacio - 2)

T.J.: Clean, good match. Love it. Alright, the score is 2-2, all tied up. Ready? Go!

Jordan goes at Horacio and loses the ball

Horacio (DR): I'm gonna let my feet do the work. He dropped it, but that ball flies out of his hands, and that's exactly what I need. Exactly what I wanted, because it gives me a shot to just win this. So, thank you feet. Thank you soccer.

T.J.: Dead ball Jordan. That's a dead ball. Jordan, no point.

Alright, the score is 2-2, but it's Horacio's turn. Horacio, you get this point, and you win. Jordan, can't let him score. Alright boys, you ready? Go!

Jordan (DR): This is it. It's 2-2. It's simple. Hold him or you go home. That's it. I have to stop Horacio.

Horacio (DR): If I make this point, game over, um, a lot at stake, but I think he's the one with pressure. I'm not. He's letting me move and I'm not gonna make a movement until he does.

Devin (DR): Let's be honest here. No one wanted to see me down there, you know? This is the match up we've all been waiting for. This is a pay per view event. You're welcome.

Jordan lunges and gets a hold of Horacio's leg. Horacio gets loose and scores.

T.J.: Horacio wins. Great job.

Olivia (DR): I am so excited. Not only is he coming back into the house, which is my friend, and a number. You know, he beat Jordan, who is a legend in this game. And honestly, I think everyone is starting to worry.

Horacio (DR): To be honest, this is the first elimination where I'm not feeling as hyped as I usually feel. It was an elimination where I had to go against somebody that I really consider a friend. That I've really grown to like and build just a strong friendship with, so it's just literally bittersweet.

Jordan (DR): The better guy won tonight. This sucks. I hate losing, but you know I gotta give it up to Horacio. He has shown up this game. He's competed with a lot of heart. It was a great fight. Fair fight, but hurts. This season was absolutely the toughest for me mentally. With Tori here, that's, that was always a huge question mark for me. Easily the hardest season of my career, so, you know I'm gonna go home, try and get myself right mentally, and you know, we'll see what the future holds.

Jordan: Good job Fess. Tori, I'm sorry.

Tori: Jordan, this has been a really really rough journey for the both of us, but I just want you to know aside from all these cameras, and all these, you know, conversations, and all these people, I will always have your back, and I will always love you as a person and you have a special place in my heart. I love you.

T.J.: I literally could've watched that all night. Both of you. Absolutely killing it. Wow. Alright, so Jordan, unfortunately, you lost tonight's elimination round. There has to be a winner and a loser, but, let me tell you something man, you are a bad ass.

Jordan: Thank you

T.J.: And I know we'll see you in the future

Jordan: Thank you brother

T.J.: Alright, take care my friend. Have a good one.

Aneesa (DR): My ride or die leaving means there's one person that doesn't have my back. I just feel like I don't have as much security as other people do.

Jordan (DR): Aneesa, you better kill it. I wanted to be the one to help you get your first win. But I'm out. You can do this thing.I know you can.

T.J.: Alright, Horacio, with a partner, without a partner, it don't matter. You come down here, and you win. In fact, you've just tied the all time record with five wins for a single season in elimination rounds. So congratulations. You tied Sarah from Gauntlet 1, and Wes and Casey from Fresh Meat. Congratulations man.

Horacio: Thank you

T.J.: Alright, just know that I can show up any time and anywhere. We are danger close to the final. I'll see you soon. Get out of here. Good job man.

Horacio: Thank you Teej

Bananas (DR): T.J.'s like the witch that leaves like little bread crumbs for Hansel and Gretel, so breadcrumb, I have a feeling next time we see T.J., he's gonna be putting us in an oven.

 

[One]

Bananas (to Tori): How are you... how's your mental health? I honestly, I'm gonna

Tori: How does my mental health look?

Bananas: I'm gonna be honest, Tori, like I think that him, like being out of the game, is good for your mental game. Cause that could not have been easy, like what you had to...

Tori: Yeah... I think I'm just kind of like bleh. I'm gonna get my head on right

Bananas: Well dude, you shouldn't feel rushed at all. what you just went through, honestly, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Tori: Yeah


[It's the next day]

T.J. comes to the house

Bananas: Aw f***. T.J.'s here!

Amber: Where is he?

Bananas: No warning, no nothing. He just walked right by, alright good.

Faysal: We're supposed to follow him? or...

Amber: I'm about to follow him. I wanna know what's going on

Faysal: I don't wanna follow him nowhere

Chauncey: Alright, let's follow T.J.

T.J. goes inside and sits on the pool table.

T.J.: Alright everyone. What did I tell you?

Group: You can show up any time, anywhere, any place.

Bananas: You're in our f***ing house, so that checks out.

Faysal: We're getting danger close

T.J.: (chuckles) Actually Bananas, this is my house. What was the last thing I said to you. Stay ready, right? Alright well everyone, pack your sh**, suit up, and I'll see you at The Zone. Yeah, everyone.

T.J. leaves

Aneesa: What the f***

Tori: I'm gonna throw up


The Zone

T.J.: Right now I'm looking at two very solid teams who really want to make it to my final, and earn your share of one million dollars. I put you into these two teams and divided you to test your ride or dies, and see if you really had what it takes. Some of you, turned your backs on your ride or dies. But some of you stayed strong. So why don't you get back into your ride or die pairs, and leave those teams behind. Right now.

Amber (with Chauncey) (DR): I'm so happy to be back with you

Chauncey (DR): Yes. I love my team. I loved working with them, but nothing beats working with the person I came into this game with, and that's my girlfriend, my ride or die, Amber, so, I'm happy to be back and reunited so we can get some wins.

Bananas: What. The. F*** (rejoins and hugs Nany)

Nany: Oh my God

Horacio (with Olivia) (DR): I'm like come here. Come here

Olivia (DR): I literally was like ahhhh. I'm so happy cause in my mind I'm like okay, I'm back with someone that has helped me get through majority of the game and I do trust you more than anyone here.

Tori: Does that mean they're going home? [The ones left with no partner, Aneesa, Faysal, Kaycee]

Kaycee: Are we going home?

Aneesa: Oh that would be f***ed

Kaycee; We're going home

T.J.: Oh, look at that. Faysal, Aneesa, and Kaycee... hm. You don't have ride or dies.

Aneesa: No

T.J.: Come on down here

Kaycee: Okay

(Kaycee and Aneesa bracing for the worst)

T.J.: Welp, three of you standing in front of me don't have a partner. You couldn't protect your ride or dies. Your ride or dies couldn't cut it, and I told you, from the time we started, you live and die by your ride or dies in this game.

Kaycee: Yup

T.J.: So... Unfortunately, you can no longer continue in this game without a partner

Group: Oh my God.

Devin: Holy sh**

Aneesa: Play a good game guys. Whatever

T.J.: So...

(Kenny, Moriah, and Jordan return)

Aneesa: Yesss! I knew it!

Kaycee: Let's gooo!

Kenny: Did you miss me?

Tori: Holy f***

Aneesa (with Jordan) (DR): Oh thank you God. I have my ride or die back

Jordan: So you thought you had to leave?

Aneesa: (nods and laughs)

Faysal: Oh my God. What the f*** is going on

Nany (with Bananas) (DR): The craziest twist ever

Bananas (DR): If I had to speak in emoji, it would be the monacle. You know the guy with the one little eyeglass? Like T.J. what are you talking about? Then it would be the poop emoji, cause I sh** myself.

Nany (DR): And it's like the :O, and then it's like the :'(, like crying face. Yeah.

T.J.: Hey, it's not done, get over here

Tori (with Devin) (DR): I would obviously put my emotions to the side to have Aneesa back into this game, but I don't know. Obviously Jordan threw a wrench into my life while we were here

Devin (DR): A wrench?!

Tori (DR): Yeah?

Devin (DR): A wrench?

Tori (DR): A too l box?

Devin (DR): A f***ing whole Home Depot

Tori (DR): (laughs)

Kaycee (with Kenny) (DR): I am so blown away that I literally see my brother's face running into The Zone, I'm like... Kenny? like, what? I feel like he's been gone forever.

Kenny (DR): Little did you know

Kaycee (DR): You got us this time Teej

T.J.: Alright, so what you all don't know is that since you've been two teams, I've kept every single person that was eliminated. I pulled them aside and said you have a chance to get back in this game. A lifeline. Your ride or die. Nelson and Nurys couldn't do it. So they're gone. But Kaycee, Faysal, Aneesa, you were the lifeline for Kenny, Moriah, and Jordan. So, now all three pairs have a chance to get back in the game right here, right now. But not all of you are gonna get back in. Tonight, someone's going home for real.

Jordan (DR): I'm so torn. On one hand, I just got beat. Send me home. I'm the loser, and I should be out. But on the other hand, there's a million dollars on the other side. So I'm getting back in this game.

 

[One]

T.J.: Alright everyone, tonight, you are playing, "Don't Let Me Down"
As you can see there are three giant ramps in the middle of The Zone. Each ramp has a very heavy cylinder at the base of it. To start, each of you are gonna take your place at the bottom of the ramp, and when I say go, you will push that cylinder all the way up the ramp, til you and your ride or die are past the line on the ramp, then you're gonna hold it in place. It is going to be grueling. The pair that holds it for one minute first will earn their spot right back in the game, and are back in the hunt for one million dollars. The two losers will have one last shot, and we'll get to that after. So get this done, alright? Good luck.

Faysal (with Moriah) (DR): Seeing Moriah walk back into The Zone is shocking because she didn't leave the game with me and her being on the best of terms but fi we have to compete with each other tonight then I like my chances

Moriah (DR): although Fessy and I weren't on the best terms, I feel super confident because I'm with my ride or die and we're both super strong.

T.J.: Alright everyone, ready? Go!

Faysal (DR): I don't know if any of y'all back home have seen my partner's quads, but them things are scary big and I mean, I outweigh everybody in here by at least 20/30 pounds so, if Moriah and I can't get this done tonight, maybe we don't belong here.

Kaycee (DR): I know my brother has no quit in him. I feel like there's still so much in him that he has no tbeen able to show so I would love for him obviously to stay in this game and show all these other people what he can do.

Jordan (DR): I'm holding this thing. Aneesa? She got horsepower. We can hold this thing. I'm looking over at Fessy and Moriah, I'm like damn. They're pretty strong too. I'm worried about Moriah and Fessy

Tori (DR): Tonight's elimination is called "Don't Let Me Down". Each pair is gonna have to push this huge cylinder up a ramp, past a line, and whoever holds it there for a minute first wins, but it's gonna be really slippery and really heavy.

Kaycee (DR): I'm trying to get this cylinder up, and we have literally piles of sand on our feet, so we can not gain any traction to stay on this ramp. This is... We are both slipping. I mean, how does this even work?

Kenny (DR): I have a family. So for me to get the share of a million dollars would be obviously life-changing. Definitely could use the money. Kids are not cheap. I'm here to win.

Faysal (with Moriah) (DR): I definitely want to win this game. There's a lot of money at stake. I've come up short every time, so, this season I really want to try to get it done and I feel like we have a really good chance at taking a run for it.

Moriah (DR): I want to make it to a final and I want my little sister to see this at home and be like "Let's go sister!"

Nany (DR): Kaycee's kind of doing alright but, Kenny is the one who can't really hold the cylinder up because he's slipping from the sand. The thought of Kaycee leaving this game makes me wonder if I can even continue this game without her.

Faysal (DR): All the sand on the bottom of your shoe is making it slip and there's a chance we may go home tonight but, you know, I trust Moriah and I's abilities, and we're just gonna have to get it done.

Faysal: You good?

Moriah: Yeah, if you stay right there.

T.J.: Alright that's it

Faysal: Let's f***ing go Moriah

Kaycee; Good job guys. Good job

Faysal: Let's goo! We right back in this thing babyyy

Faysal (post-game): We're back, baby. Let's goo

Moriah: I feel so happy. I'm here. He's here. We're gonna kill it.

Faysal: Back together, buddy, ol' pal

Moriah: You know, we're gonna talk about some things, of course but uh, when it
comes to competing, we do amazing together, so, I'm so grateful to be back. thanks for staying in.

Faysal: Got you. I'm so thankful we won that first stage because I don't want to see what that second stage is and that final is right around the corner, so if I get to run it with this one, I can smell that million dollars

T.J.: Congratulations Faysal and Moriah. Dominating performance. Great job.

Moriah: Thank you

T.J.: You are the first pair to earn your way back into this game. Congratulations. Go ahead and rejoin the group

Alright. Jordan, Aneesa, Kaycee, Kenny. Unfortunately for you two pairs, you have another elimination tonight. Loser goes home for good. That's it. No more chances.

Jordan (DR): T.J. doesn't just give free passes to get back in the game. It's not very often he offers a second chance, and never is that second chance easy. Aneesa and I, we're getting back in this game.

 

[One]

Spoiler

More

 

[One]

T.j.: Kaycee, Kenny, Jordan, Aneesa, welcome to round two of the elimination. Loser goes home, for good. That's it. NO more chances

Nany (DR): Kaycee and Kenny, I want so badly for them to win. Kaycee is always protecting me. Kaycee is always supporting me. I don't think I would still be here if it wasn't for her

Bananas (DR): I am praying that Kaycee makes it back into the game. I just don't know what Nany's state of mind is gonna be if she loses Kaycee. It could jeopardize our game at this point.

T.J.: This next elimination round is a challenge classic. One of my favorites, it's called "Knot So Fast". To begin, you and your ride or die are gonna be attached to a rope. Then when I say go, you will go in, out, and around that cage, making it as difficult as possible to undo. Twist it, tangle it, knot it up, because after 20 minutes, you're gonna trade places, and they're gonna have to undo what you just did and vice versa. The pair to unweave their rope and get it past the finish line first will win tonight's elimination round and be the last pair that I'm saving tonight. Got it?

Them: Got it

T.J.: Alright. Good luck.

Devin (DR): This is a true Challenge classic. It takes strength, it takes endurance, it takes strategy, it takes every aspect that makes a good challenger

Aneesa (pre-challenge w/ Jordan): I've played Knot So Fast before. It's not an easy elimination. It's definitely gonna take communication. I've never done it with another person

Jordan (pre-challenge): We're gonna make this thing really tough and for my loss to affect Aneesa's game, I feel really sh*** so, we've got to get this win.

Kaycee (pre-challenge w/ Kenny): We've gotta get back into the game. In order for us to do that we have to win this. Cause if not, then, we're going home.

T.J.: Alright, everyone ready? Go!

[20 minutes]

Bananas (to Kaycee and Kenny): Guys, you want to pull it all the way out of the cage

Bananas (DR): this is gonna come down to the more nimble athletic pair. Kaycee and Kenny against the experience that Jordan and Aneesa have in eliminations. Aneesa's seen this before, so she knows what to do. Kaycee and Kenny however have not, no pun intended.

Nany: Pull it out the other side of the cage

Kenny (DR): Our strategy is to use our endurance which is overall better than the other team's to do crazy things and make this as difficult asd possible so that it'll be hard for them to untie the whole thing

T.J.: Kenny, looking good. Kaycee. That's how you do it.

Tori: As much as I love Aneesa and Jordan, my money is on Kaycee and Kenny, because I truly feel like they are going to be able to maneuver their bodies easier and more quickly because they're similar size.

Jordan (DR): We're gonna start using this thing as two ropes, and weaving. Cause if it all goes one way, you can just backtrace and see where it goes. But, if you act as if there's a second end on the rope, you can make it confusing.

T.J.: Yeah Aneesa. I like it!

Kaycee: Let's go across from here. You hear me?

Kenny: Yeah

Kaycee: I'm gonna lay it down

Kenny: Which way you going?

Kaycee: This way. Kenny!

Bananas: You guys don't have time to discuss. You gotta just f***ing move

Kaycee; Well we're tied together so we kinda need to have some kind of conversation

Nany: It's okay baby, keep going

Nany (DR): Kaycee and Kenny, for some reason, it almost looks like it's harder for them to move around than Aneesa and Jordan. Jordan is smart and has like the best strategies for things like this and it worries me because I wonder if Kaycee and Kenny will be as strategic as Jordan and Aneesa

Jordan: Come on. You see how we're head first? Go face first. Face first, come on. Step over it. Just be semi-athletic. We need to get all of that in there. I can' tmove without you.

Aneesa: Alright

Jordan: Pull it down. Keep it going. All the way over Aneesa. We're never sitting

Aneesa: Fine, I"m just trying to

Jordan: Come on, yep. It doesn't matter

Aneesa: You want me to come outside and pull?

Jordan: Yeah, whatever you want to do. Just do something.

Horacio (DR): Jordan is taking the lead on this one. He is pushing Aneesa. It's just amazing to watch. That's one of the reasons I actually look up to Jordan. He's gonna get the best out of you. What Jordan and Aneesa are doing does not look easy to take apart. I'm really happy that Olivia and I don't have to untangle their mess because that's a jungle.

T.J.: Five minutes. You got five minutes.

Nany: Babe, just start weaving yourself through the ropes inside the cage, and just tie knots.

Kaycee (to Kenny): You gotta come with me

Kenny: Okay

Kaycee: I can't, come on. You gotta come with me

Olivia (DR): Kaycee is carrying the team on her back. Kenny's trying. I love him so much. They're siblings but one is born an athlete and one is born to be the sweetest person in the world

T.J.: One minute

Jordan: Bend down. Bend down, bend down, bend down, bend down. Let f***ing go and bend down

Aneesa: I'm sorry

Jordan: Stop, stay down. Okay

Devin: What's going on in there

Bananas: You guys look like you're going up a birth canal

Jordan: Come through this hole

T.J.: 5...4...3...2...1... (horn). Alright, stop where you're at

Kenny: They did a good job.

Bananas: Nicely done

T.J.: You will now switch ropes. The first team to unweave their opponent's rope and bring it all across the finish line will win.

Aneesa: Compared to our side, I don't think Kenny and Kaycee's side will be as hard. I know that Kenny and Kaycee have shoved a large amount of it on one side, and if Jordan and I can just find out where this rope goes, we can get that massive thing out, track the rest of it and, we can win.

Most people in this game would never have a second chance. It's been a long time waiting around, and I'm excited to be back. I have a chance to get back in, let's go!

 

[One]

T.J.: Alright ready?! Go!

Kaycee: Don't grab my feet

Amber (DR): Kaycee and I, I don't feel like I'm on her side at all. She would throw me in the second she could, but right away Kaycee adn Kenny are killing it. They are doing everything right at untying these knots and Jordan and Aneesa seem to be struggling.

Jordan: stop stop stop. Get this over our head

Amber: Jordan's sweating. Aneesa's cooch is getting caught in the bar

Tori: Kaycee and Kenny are killing it dude. Absolutely crushing it

Aneesa (DR): My arms are shot. The last rope I did was not this heavy. This rope is so heavy. It's like a rope on steroids. It's exhausting. Jordan and I are harnessed together like... It's just a lot.

Aneesa; We're gonna have to move this

Devin: She's running out of gas

Tori: Yeah

Aneesa: We have to move this through?

Jordan: Yeah

Tori: And Jordan's doing a lot of that work, so I'm sure eventually it's gonna wear on him too

Jordan: You got it. Come on. Oh yeah. There you go

Aneesa: Jordan wait

Jordan: No, we're not waiting. We are not waiting. Let's go. Right here! It's this rope right there

Aneesa: I see you. Just give me one f***ing second

Jordan: No, no seconds! Stand on it. No, no! THrough here! Aneesa come on

Aneesa: Ow

Jordan: You can blatantly see it, let's go. Come on

Jordan: we gotta go through, just trust me

Aneesa: Yeah yeah yeah. I know, I do trust you

Jordan: Stop talking, just go

T.J.: Let's go, it's anybody's game. Let's go

Jordan: Come on Aneesa, we've done this. You wanna win?

Jordan (DR): We've got this. I just have to keep Aneesa in it. I know we're tired but now it's time to work. Once we get that little nest they got on the bottom, it's all gonna open up

Tori: It's neck and neck, it's anybody's game right now

Nany: It's really close babe. Just keep it up, keep moving!

Jordan: There you go girl

T.J.: I like it. Teamwork. Everybody's going hard, I love it

Kenny: I can't see. You gotta pull. Where is it going. Where's the next move?

Kaycee (DR): We have one more chance to be able to fight our way back into this house and that is by winning this not so fast elimination. We have to give it our all. We've never had a game like this in any of our family reunions.

Kenny: we should though

Kaycee: We should, definitely adding it

Aneesa: I can't

Jordan: No more "I can'ts" Yes you can

Aneesa; I can, I just

Jordan: Yes you can

Aneesa; Ow

Jordan: No "Ows". You don't feel pain

Aneesa (DR): I tell him the things that my body physically can't do, he tells me that I can do those things, but for some reason, he's oddly motivating in a very aggressive manner. It helps me feel like I can, and will do anything

Jordan: Go. Grab. All the way.

Kenny: They're tired

Amber: Come on guys push! Give everything you got! It''ll be over soon. Come on push.

Bananas: Pull it outside of the cage!

Kaycee: It's okay. I'll go (jungle ??), reach your arms out okay?

Kenny: What do you mean?

Kaycee: Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah yeah

Kenny: Come on Kayce

Bananas: Pull the rope through guys, you gotta organize that sh**

Jordan (DR): I see it. We're eight moves away. They have a lot of moves to go. It's time to click it into high gear. All we have to do is make the moves.

Jordan: Come on, we got three f***ing moves. This is the last one. Go, go, come on. The whole thing. Come on Aneesa! We've got this. Come this way. Come this way. Come on. Hold on.

T.J.: (Sounds horn)

(Jordan and Aneesa win the Knot So Fast elimination challenge)

T.J.: Alright that's it

Aneesa: Thank you

Kaycee; Good job.

Jordan (DR): I told you, I was not gonna be the reason Aneesa got thrown out of this game. She ain't blaming that on me. I showed up, clocked in, and we're clocking out baby. Still in it.

Jordan (to Aneesa): We did f***ing great

Tori: I couldn't be more happy for Aneesa, and then I'm like oh sh** Jordan's coming too. Here we go. Back on the roller coaster. I'm just like, confused.

Bananas: Way to not give up Aneesa

Jordan (post-elimination w/ Aneesa): You showed up girl. You showed up. Got it done.

Aneesa (post-elimination): I don't mean to get emotional. I would've lost it myself. HAving someone finally hat supports me and when I can't says you can. It's like he's the voice that I need in my head.

Jordan (post-elimination): We are always our biggest enemies, and I know you can.

Aneesa (post-elimination): Thank you

Jordan (post-elimination): I know you can. I can't has to be turned into I can, cause yes you can

Kaycee: It's been fun guys. Baby, you stay strong

Devin (DR): Nany has been put through the ringer this season, and now she just lost her girlfriend, her rock, her main system of support. moving forward, this game is gonna take a toll on Nany. I can see this really affecting the Nany and Bananas pair

Nany: I don't want you to go

Kaycee: Keep this with you

KAycee (DR): Nany, push through. You finish strong. This is your season to win. You deserve it so much. Yourmom will be with you every step of the way. You're not alone, so get it done. Come home with that W.

T.J.: That was a sick elimination. Great job to both of you. unfortunately, we have to have a winner and loser tonight. Kenny, Kaycee, you both couldn't get it done. This officially ends your time here on The Challenge. Nothing but love, alright? Take care of yourselves. See you guys

Faysal (DR): I am bummed that Kaycee's going home. I wanted her here , I knew she had my back but, we are back to ride or die, and I'm looking at these other pairs like, I think Moriah and I could take em

Kaycee: You guys are all amazing. Kill it. Baby finish strong, okay? I love you.

Nany: I love you

Kaycee: Your mother's always with you okay?

Nany: I love you

Kaycee; She'll be with you the whole way. I love you mwah

Kaycee (DR w/ Kenny): We did our very best together as a team. I'm proud of us. I'm proud of you

Kenny: I'm proud of you too. It was awesome. One of the greatest times of my life, and I got to do it with my best bud over here.

T.J.: Aneesa, why are you so emotional?

Aneesa: I'm the first person to beat me up, and it's just really nice to have somebody who won't let you

Nany: So proud of you

Aneesa: Thank you

Jordan: Yeah, Aneesa (hug)

T.J.: Congratulations to both of you. You're back in the game. Great job. Alright everyone, it's fair to say anything can happen in this game right? If I was you, I would definitely get some rest. I'll see you soon

Bananas (DR): I feel like the whole team situation was just a bad dream we just got woke up from. The game has now shifted back to what it was in the beginning, so it's time to adapt, shift gears, and keep this thing moving.

 

[One]

Chauncey (DR): Now that the game has changed, this makes my game and Amber's game much harder because now we're not tied to a group of people. I can see us at the bottom of the list all over again.

Faysal (w/ Moriah): I'm glad you're back. For real for real.

Moriah: Yeah

Faysal: I know we were getting annoyed with each other

Moriah: Yeah (laughs)

Faysal: Like toward the end of your time, once we went to teams but I think that's because we both didn't know what was going on and like, you were now riding for your own team

Moriah: Yeah I was riding for my team. I was riding for you as well. but I won't lie. I had a bad taste my mouth leaving.

Faysal: Okay, I had a bad taste in my mouth too though

Moriah: I know, but I gave you so much time to talk about it and instead, I felt like

Faysal: I felt betrayed. I brought you into this game

Moriah: Yes

Faysal: and the one time you had a chance to save my ass

Moriah: Yes, but also

Faysal: You had your team's back

Moriah: I was thinking of my team because I need them to stay in the game. Yes you brought me here, thank you, I really appreciate it, and I want to be here

Faysal: Yeah, and then you didn't save me when you had a chance

Moriah: But you hold it over my head. I defended you in interrogation the whole entire time

Faysal: Okay, and thank you for that

Moriah: Up until walking up, but I didn't see you doing that for me

Faysal: All that is behind us now

Moriah: Yeah

Faysal: Forget it

Moriah: Yeah

Faysal: You're back here. I think it's great that now we're on the same team again

Moriah (DR with Faysal): As long as we can compete well together, I think we'll be good.

Faysal (DR): We definitely have to communicate and I'm sorry if you felt like I didn't have your back

Moriah (DR): Same

Faysal (DR): But we're a team and I believe in you. I think you have proven yourself in this game and you have what it takes

Moriah: When you look at the other ride or dies like they're being there as a friend. I think just moving forward we'll just be better friends to each other. Outside of this game, you're actually my friend. I value our friendship.

Moriah (DR): I could agree to let go of everything if you could let go of everything and we could just move forward and become strong again

Faysal (DR): Okay, alright

Moriah: Okay, so...

Faysal (DR): I'm okay with that

moriah: It's done. Okay cool

Faysal: I am thankful to have you as a partner because we f****** kick ass together. You always get the sh** done. And the final's right around the corner Moriah.

Moriah: I know

Faysal: If we can make it there, we got this in the bag.

Bananas (to Nany): Kaycee was such a huge support for you and I just feel for you dude. I just want you to be good

Nany: She's literally been the only person

Bananas: I know

Nany: that's been there for me since my mom died

Bananas: I know

Nany: It's hard

Bananas: I know

Nany: To be... here. And I think I just, I don't know. I did get just so used to having her, and I put a lot on her, and I'm just like grateful that I had her, I just, you know

Bananas; Well I want you to know that whatever you put on her, whatever capacity you need to, you can put on me.

Nany (DR with Bananas): It sucks that she's gone but, you know, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself, I've always taken care of myself and I just need to finish the drill and just do what I came here to do.

Bananas (DR): But, I want you to know that now that she's not here to do it, that I want to be able to help in any capacity necessary

Bananas: Outside of the game, f*** the game, I'm talking about just you as a person in real life. Like I want you to know that I"m here for you and that whatever you need to put on my shoulders, you can

Nany: I know, thank you

Bananas (DR): Lay it on me dude

Nany (DR): Yeah, and that goes both ways. That goes both ways.

Nany: I just want you to know too like, right now I am emotional but don't worry I'm gonna go into the challenge, I will compete, like I'm not checked out

Bananas: Yeah

Nany: I'm just, I've been dealing with this all season, you know? It's nothing new. I want you to know like thank you for like being here, but like I'm good and you know I just gotta finish the drill

Bananas: We gotta finish the drill. I literally can't wait to finish this thing with you.

Nany: Yeah

Bananas: Whatever that looks like

Nany: Yeah, Whatever it looks like. Thank you. Love you

Bananas: If we're gonna do something, we're gonna finish the drill

Nany: Yeah

 

[One]

Daily Challenge

T.J.: How's everyone doing? This is gonna be awesome. For me. Because i get to watch you have the hardest times of your lives. Today's challenge is called "Runaway Ride". As you could see, there is a giant bus back there. Inside of that bus are over a hundred balls. Each ball has a specific marking. So one pair at a time are gonna take their place inside the bus. When I say go, this bus is gonna take off full speed careening down this race track, avoiding all these barricades and cars and you name it. Now, along this race track are a couple of signs with the corresponding markings on them. You're gonna have to get a good look at the signs along the way to find the correct balls. Find the correct balls, place them in order and pull the lever to stop that bus. Now, in the event of a tie, the pair to get this done the fastest will win today's challenge and be safe from elimination.

Tori: You can't really train for this one. What am I gonna do? Go to McDonald's and fill up my car with the ball pit? No, I'm not gonna do it. Actually no interest in doing that. So T.J. this is sick

T.J.: Alright, good luck.

Amber: My back always stays packed because I expect to always be going into elimination. I feel like at this point, I'm gonna keep going down and down and down and down. Nothing new. So, we really need this win.

T.J.: Alright, first up we have Amber, Chauncey

Olivia (DR): I'm dying because all I see on this bus are flailing arms. I'm like oh my God, is this dangerous? Hello, are we strapped in? Is there anything to grab onto because honestly it looks like they're in outer space and there's zero gravity

Amber (DR): I didn't know a bus could go that fast, first of all. I didn't know it could take corners like that. It's insane

Devin (DR): This one is called Runaway Ride. We've got a bus full of balls that have different colors on them. We need to look at a key and put the colored balls in the order that's on the key. Sounds simple. Wrong. Because this bus is dodging cars, going up ramps. It's throwing you all around.

Amber (DR): Any strategy anyone had going into this is out the damn door. Out the window. Whatever, out the bus. Cause once you're in here, it is no joke.

Chauncey (DR): You know your ride or die is your ride or die when they keep working through their vomit. I'ev already threw up on her once, so this ain't nothing new

Chauncey: You wanna just pull that sh**?

Amber: Just pull it. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I need to get off of this bus

Chauncey and Amber get 7 out of 10 balls correct

Horacio and Olivia

Horacio (pre-challenge w/ Olivia): We came into this together, so now to be back with my ride or die I'm feeling good about it and we haven't got a win together

Olivia: I know

Horacio: So I think it's much needed

T.J.: We have Olivia and Horacio (sounds horn)

Horacio (DR): Last time Olivia and I competed together was in the mini-final and you know we had a little fight. So it's so refreshing to know I'm back with her. That's in the past. We know how we both are gonna deal with things and, just gonna stay positive and keep moving forward.

Bananas (DR): We notice through the window that their balls are almost completely full. With the pace that they're setting right now, if they get thei rballs in the right order, they're gonna win this thing.

Horacio and Olivia complete the challenge

Olivia (DR): I feel so good about me and Horacio's color pattern and time, and I'm thinking all that together, we can take a win

Bananas: You got it? Think they solved it?

Tori: Holy sh**. They got it

Jordan: I just fought my way back into this game. Aneesa had to help me do that. I'm looking to come in here, get a win, and let people know that I'm back

Aneesa: I'm excited. I work really well with Jordan. Having him back in the game makes me feel like I can do anything.

T.J.: Aneesa and Jordan (sounds horn)

Jordan and Aneesa complete the challenge and get one of the ten balls correct

T.J.: Alright Moriah, Faysal, go!

Faysal and Moriah complete the challenge and get eight of the ten balls correct

T.J.: (sounds horn)

Tori and Devin

Devin: Red and Yellow, now let me check yours

Tori: (switches lever)

Devin: No. No Tori no!

Tori: I'm right on everything except for one. I'm throwing up on myself. I'm done.

Devin: Alright

Tori (post-challenge w/ Devin): I mean I get car sick without there being balls flying around in curves like that so this is definitely not something that's up my alley but I mean I sat there and threw up on myself so whatever

Devin: Pushed it to the limit. Beaver tail. Thank you

Nany (DR): Nobody will compare to Kaycee. I've really depended on her a lot this season, emotionally, but I know that this is the moment where I get my life together and I regain control of who I am and push forward in this game. Our strategy is to stay as close to the wall as possible, and see every memory board that we can

(Dark blue vertical behind Pink horizontal - Yellow vertical behind Pink horizontal)
(Teal vertical behind Pink horizontal - Yellow vertical behind Red horizontal)
(Red vertical behind Blue horizontal - Blue vertical behind Dark blue horizontal)
(Teal vertical in front of Red horizontal - Teal vertical in front of Blue horizontal)
(Red vertical behind Black horizontal - Pink vertical in front of Red horizontal)

Bananas (DR): Yeah it was a fun little experiment, separating teams and playing tha tgame but listen I came here with one goal in mind and that was to compete with Nany and get her across the finish line

Nany (DR): Just knowing that I have Johnny, my ride or die, means everything to me because I know that I still have somebody that I can rely on

(Nany flips the switch)

Bananas (DR): I'm like absolutely mystified that in one pass Nany's able to figure this out. I really do think that Nany is the most locked in she's been all season. I could not pick a better time for us to be working this close together. I think Nany and I got the right ones in, but again, Pink kind of looks like red, and blue kind of looks like purple. It's so difficult to judge, you know. I'm just praying that we got this one right.

T.J.: Incredible. Great job to all of you. For real.

Horacio (DR): this is a much needed win. If we win this, you know, this is the power we've always wanted, and what a better time to have power than towards the end of this entire season?

T.J.: Great challenge today, however one pair was head and shoulders above the rest

Nany: The final is right around the corner. Who knows what will happen if Johnny and I don't win today's challenge

T.J.: The pair to get all 10 balls successfully, Bananas and Nany

Bananas: We break our f***ing puzzle curse!

Bananas (DR): I mean I'm overjoyed. We're back and we are so close to the final now, and the teams have dwindled down and we could not have won at a more opportune time.

Tori (DR): I think this is a good thing. I have a very good relationship with Nany, Devin has had a blooming friendship with Bananas. Honestly, I'm happy for Nany. Kaycee just went home. This is a great pick-me-up for her to remember that she still has a good chance in this game.

T.J.: You both did an amazing job. You stuck together, you got it done. And now you have to go back to the house and select one pair to save. The rest of them are going into interrogation and you will ultimately select one of those pairs to compete in the zone for their right to stay in the game. With the rest, headed to The Draw. Got it?

Amber (DR): We already know we're not gonna be saved in The Draw. We don't really have a high percentage of choosing the save, so we just wanna know and mentally prepare. We don't want to be blindsided. I want to know that I'm going down in that sand and Chauncey wants to do the same.

T.J.: Alright, I'll see you soon

 

[One]

Bananas: Aw, you guys don't have to pretend to be happy, it's alright. Nany, we could be happy. Come on Nan, I'm gonna jump on your back now.

Horacio (DR): Nany and Bananas have put Olivia and myself in The Zone their first day here, and then once we split into teams, Bananas said my name twice and Bananas actually said "If it ain't broke, why fix it" It won't be a surprise if we're thrown back in.


Deliberation

Nany: Well well well

Bananas: Back to where it all began

Nany: We have a big decision to make. We have to save a team. But I do think that it's in our best interest to save Moriah and Fessy. If you look at the other teams. I mean, you know Aneesa would've saved Tori and vice versa. And Olivia and Horacio would've saved Moriah and Fessy. Who knows who Amber and Chauncey would've saved. I feel like they've made so many deals with so many people at this point it's hard to keep track

Bananas: I couldn't have said it better myself. Get out of my head Nany. We share a brain?

Bananas (DR): Moriah and I have gotten kind of close, and um I mean not to mention Fessy and Moriah are arguably the strongest team here, so having them in our corner this late in the game, this strategically is the play.

Bananas: That's the best way to go

Nany: Yeah


The Boar
Amber and Chauncey
Tori and Devin
Aneesa and Jordan
Olivia and Horacio

Moriah (DR): I'm so freaking glad that it's not Fessy and I. Being away from Bananas definitely showed me that I do like him. I left but I felt like distance makes the heart fonder. Him in this game is really important to me

Jordan: I thought we were skating by

Faysal: I mean we still go tone more to do after this so

Horacio: I'm ready

Olivia: If we, me and Horacio, make it out, to the final, we're gonna be very lucky. We're an easy out, you know?

Faysal: This late in the game to go from the stress level of us not winning that challenge and then being like "oh f***, Bananas and Nany won?"

Moriah: Same one that we wanted to win

Faysal: You just keep your word in this game and rely on your performance and your word. That's it. That's how I play the game

Moriah: Yeah


Interrogation

Amber and Chauncey

Nany: Aw, you guys look so nice

Amber: Thank you

Bananas: Welcome to your job interview. We are hiring for the position of uh, direct vote

Chauncey: We know the position we're in. Even if we're in the draw, we don't pull it, we're going to be down there. I didn't do one challenge and that's been killing me. So I feel like, I still have some work to do and I want to go down there

Nany: I mean

Amber: We just know it's between Olivia and Horacio and Chauncey and I

Chauncey (DR): Amber and I already know in the back of our heads what's going to happen. Friendships and history outweigh connections you make in this game. We'd rather just nominate ourselves instead of letting the daggers determine our fate

Chauncey: We'd rather just know ahead of time, have our heads straight and ready to compete.

Bananas (DR): So this is totally unexpected. I think they just want to use this as a strategic play. That way if they go in and if they come back, they'll be able to use this potentially as some sort of olive branch or leverage in the future

Amber: We'll see you tonight

Nany: See you tonight


Tori and Devin

Bananas: Deb and Devin. Debvin

Tori: Hey guys

Nany: Hey

Bananas: Welcome guys.

Tori: How you feeling?

Bananas: I'll tell you what. A little bit of the stress is off knowing that Amber and Chauncey just nominated themselves

Tori: Why?

Bananas: I don't know

Devin: And this to me seems like this is her last ditch effort attempt, her Hail Mary attempt at turning the narrative and saying that "I'm not a sh**y person. I am the hero that comes in and saves my friends from being put in. And gives Nany an easier opportunity so she doesn't have to say my name. Look, look what I'm doing for everybody. So if she comes back, she's earned favors. She's playing chess, not checkers, I'll give her credit for that. But she's a sh***y chess payer.

Bananas: Alright

Nany: That is exactly what I, wow

Devin: Good luck with the rest of them


Aneesa and Jordan

Bananas: Well hello there you two.

Nany: Aw, that was very kind

Jordan: Thank you

Aneesa: Sometimes that happens

Bananas: You guys know why we saved Fessy and Moriah. We know that if Tori and Devin would've won, they would've saved you, vice versa, which is fine, I mean that's

Aneesa; It's expected too like... it's not like that would be a big surprise

Bananas: Olivia and Horacio would've saved Fessy and Moriah

Nany: So with Amber and Chauncey nominating themselves, that leaves you in the draw with Tori and Devin obviously, and Olivia and Horacio

Aneesa: How are you guys feeling

Jordan: Yeah, what are you guys think about that. Weird right?

Bananas: I mean...

Aneesa; I think they're taking your chance from you to say their names. Instead of you having the power it's like, "we're gonna be noble, and vote ourselves in"

Jordan (DR): Not smart. I've been there. Didn't work out. Historically, people that nominate themselves go home

Nany: We're hoping that you guys or Tori and Devin pull the safe dagger obviously, so you can save each other.

Bananas: Good luck tonight



Olivia and Horacio

Nany: Hi guys

Bananas; Hello you two

Olivia: Hello

Nany: We had no idea Amber and Chauncey were gonna nominate themselves

Horacio: I mean, we didn't know either

Nany: Yeah

Olivia: Well, weird flex for them but, okay

Olivia (DR): If Amber and Chauncey get their way and are the direct vote, the odds for me and Horacio are still not good. Tori and Aneesa are best friends. They're gonna save each other every single time. So, we basically have a 33% chance of pulling the safe dagger

Bananas: Out of all the teams up there, I think you guys are the most well rounded team. 100%. So I think if you guys end up going in, you have the best shot at coming back. Best of luck

Olivia: Thank you

Bananas: Been there before guys, you ain't no stranger to sand


Nany: So if Amber and Chauncey are the direct vote, then that leaves Horacio, Aneesa, and Tori in the draw. Now we know Aneesa and Tori are gonna save each other. Say Olivia pulls the safe dagger, who's she saving?

Bananas: oooh

Nany: So that's gonna be interesting

Bananas: Wow. You don't know what lies ahead. We're sitting there thinking it could go one, we could show up and it's gonna be a completely different scenario

Nany: Exactly

Bananas (DR): By nominating yourself, kind of takes the power away from the person that's gonna send you in. At this point, we also want to do what's best for our own game.

 

[One]

Olivia (to Fessy): I'm actually happy that we're back in pairs. I'm happy I can like have someone that can hype me up and I can show up. Horacio, for his other show, he went home the day before the final. And so I feel like he's hungrier than ever

Faysal: Yeah but everybody's hungry in here. Everybody's fighting for something in here. Bananas wants to show at 40 he can still win one. I've lost two back to back and got kicked off

Olivia: There's so much on the line

Faysal: Elimination is just so crazy because like anything could happen down there

Olivia: My hope is that I pick a safe but if not...

Olivia (DR): I am very mentally prepared to go into The Zone. I do feel confident going against Amber and Chauncey, and I know Horacio feels the same way. So if we don't pull the safe dagger, I think that we can take an easy win

Faysal: You've been down there plenty of times this season. You know how it goes. You just gotta be better than that one team tonight and that's it. That has to be your mindset

Olivia: Yep


Amber: I want to just get this win for me because I want to be here, we're so close to the final. That's what I want to see, but I love everyone that's here

Chauncey. I don't love everybody that's here

Amber: (laughs) I do

Chauncey: You've been loving everybody that's here since day one

Amber: I know. I think that's my problem. I feel like you're the only person that's really understood me and kind of got me in this game. You're my best friend

Amber (DR with Chauncey): I trust him so much, and I love him, and I can't wait to finish out this game with him

Chauncey (DR): Same and it just makes me feel more comfortable in a game working with you, even if I don't communicate something well, you will still understand what I'm talking about, and that's what we need is communication in this game especially now

Amber: You're my ride or die. You're the one person that knows me better than anybody



Aneesa (DR): I've been eliminated before the final on Duel 1, Inferno 3, Total Madness, Double Agents. But, I've worked really hard this season. I need to make it through this elimination, whether I'm saved, or whether I go in, I need to break the curse.

Tori (DR): Devin and I are going to The Draw. Anything can happen there. I mean, we don't know who's gonna get it, and I just hope that we get saved if we don't pull it


The Zone

T.J.: Alright everyone, welcome back to The Zone. Pretty empty up there. Well, Bananas and Nany, by winning the last challenge, you were tasked with saving one pair. You saved Moriah and Faysal. You had to interrogate all the other pairs, so let's bring them out.

(The other pairs enter The Zone)

T.J.: Alright, Bananas, Nany, I need you to select one of these pairs to compete in The Zone tonight. Who's it gonna be?

Bananas: Well, T.J., Amber and Chauncey said they wanted to go in, so tonight my vote's gonna be for Amber and Chauncey

T.J.: Really. You nominated yourselves?

Amber: mmhm

T.J.: You know there's a million dollars on the line

Amber: Yeah, we just

Chauncey: Absolutely. When I didn't do the last challenge, you were right. It's been on my mind, so I feel like I gotta prove this to myself also

Amber: We talked this over, and we agreed on it. I'm ready to compete tonight

Aneesa (DR): Girl we all know you are not doing this for anyone else but you. Amber and Chauncey just want to look like "We are the noble pair that's going in to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good". I call bullsh** on that.

T.J.: Well, you're down here with me no matter what. The rest of you take your place at The Draw.


The Draw

T.J.: In front of you, there are three daggers. Only one of them is safe. You pull that safe dagger, you can choose one other pair to be saved with you. So Aneesa and Jordan, go ahead and pull the dagger. Go ahead.

Aneesa pulls the one on their left. Nothing

T.J.: Aneesa, that dagger is blank. Horacio and Olivia. 50/50 chance right here right now.

Horacio pulls the middle dagger. Safe.

T.J.: Wow, well, congratulations, and now which pair are you gonna save with you?

Olivia: We have collectively decided to save

Tori (DR): The tension is just like holy sh**, like are we about to go into this elimination right now?

Olivia: We have collectively decided to save Devin and Tori

Tori: Thank you guys

Tori (DR): Olivia and Horacio save us, which is great, and then immediately I remember that my best friend's going into elimination. That's my girl down there, and I want her to win and come back

Jordan (DR): Horacio, I thought we were buddies. We're bunk mates, we sleep next to each other. WE say sweet nothings before we go to bed. Alright then. I see how we're playing

Horacio (DR): It really really sucks. My relationship with Jordan is probably the strongest relationship I have with anybody else here but Aneesa and Jordan threw Olivia and myself in at one point, and then Aneesa said my name twice individually. So, the fairest thing to do is save Devin and Tori

T.J.: You four head up. You two, down here with me

Jordan: Let's go

 

[One]

T.J.: Okay well tonight is a good one. It's called "Rumble Tumble". To begin, you and your opponent are gonna start back to back. You're gonna be strapped together. In this zone, there are six stacks. When I say go, you will twist, turn, flip, do whatever you gotta do to knock over your three stacks. First pair to win two out of three rounds will win tonight's elimination round, stay in the game. Go for the big money. Got it? Good luck

Aneesa (DR): My body is sore. Everything hurts. I just got thrown around a bus after we did Knot So Fast, and I'm still gonna do this. I'm not playing around.

Chauncey (DR): I have all the confidence in Amber to pull out this win. I know this is gonna be a tough battle, knowing that Aneesa is a vet, she's been doing this game for a while, and she has weight over her.

Amber (DR): Aneesa, might be a little stronger than I am? But I have a lot of heart and one thing I do not do ever is give up

T.J.: Alright, Aneesa, Amber, you ready? Go! (sounds horn)

Aneesa (DR): Just cause I'm thicker, like I'm still agile. I'm still smart. I know exactly where I wanna go, and I'm gonna take her right with me. I promise you, she will not be able to knock over any of her things.

Aneesa knocks down her first of three blocks

Amber (DR): I am just trying to dig and dig, and I'm just trying to wear Aneesa out. I'm gonna make it hard for her.

Chauncey (DR): I'm impressed on how Amber is carrying herself. Amber is grounded, she's keeping her composure. We both believe that we could come back from this

Nany: Aneesa, you got one big move girl, you're right there

Aneesa (DR): My thighs feel like trash right now. This is like having a hundred and thirty pound backpack on, but I didn't get this far to leave now

Aneesa knocks down her second of three blocks

Jordan (DR): Come on. Start us off with a lead. All you have to do is win one Aneesa. You don't have to do it fast. You just have to stay moving and I will bring this home, so nice.

Jordan: Work it now, work it now, work it now, work it now

Aneesa: Shut up Jordan

Jordan: Okay

Tori: You can do it Aneesa

Aneesa: I know!

Tori: Okay, alright

T.J.: (laughs)

Chauncey: Keep going Amber

Amber (DR): My back is in pain. My fingers are freezing. This is not fun but I think about my family. I think about why I'm here and what matters the most. That's how I'm managing to just give my all

Chauncey: Keep fighting Amber

Aneesa (DR): By any means necessary. I will pull my ass and hers all the way to this last thing and knock it over. I'm going to walk her like a puppy around this f***ing circle.

Aneesa knocks down her third block and wins the first round of the elimination challenge

T.J.: (sounds horn)

Jordan (DR): Aneesa is now seeing she can do anything, and that confidence is what we need. If we're gonna go to the final and win, you have to have blind confidence in yourself. No matter what it is down there, you have to believe that you are going to win.

Chauncey (DR): Now that Amber has lost the first round, I'm not mad at it. We knew that that could be a possibility, so going into this second round, I just have to compete and hold my ground. I don't have a strategy coming into this. My mindset is just to use my strength and my weight over him to get a win.

Amber (DR): Chauncey is so excited to go against Jordan cause he looks at him as someone who's just great in this game. He's a champ, but Chauncey just really has to come through for us in this next round.

Devin (DR): Chauncey's got about 30 lbs on Jordan, but Jordan's strong. He's crafty, and he wants it bad.

T.J.: The score is 1-0, Aneesa and Jordan. Are you ready?

Jordan (DR): I look back, and Chauncey is down, ready to sprint, and I love it. Cause i"m not gonna pull against Chauncey. Soon as T.J. blows the horn, I'm going one side or the other. Chauncey's gonna try and go straight. It's not the way young padawan. Let me show you something. Grab your notebook, sit down. I'm gonna teach you something tonight.

T.J.: Are we ready? Go!

Chauncey goes forward, Jordan goes to his right. Jordan knocks down his first of three blocks

Jordan (DR): I get the first block. Now, do you pull him and fight, and try to get all the way to yours? Or do you let him go to his block and he'll take me half way to my block. I let him half way over there, and as soon as he touches that block, I take off sprinting left. Now I'm three quarters of the way there.

Chauncey gets his first of three blocks

Moriah (DR): although Chauncey is super strong, it doesn't matter how strong you are if you do not have strategy, and that's something that Jordan has.

Jordan (DR): Listen kids, work smarter, not harder.

Jordan knocks down his second of three blocks

Chauncey gets to his second of three blocks and knocks it down

TOri (DR): Aneesa and Jordan coming back into this game is essential, because we are so close to this final. It's right around the corner, and you need everything you can get to make sure you can get there. So, we need our #1s back in this game.

Aneesa: You got it, come on, right here.

Jordan (DR): Second chances do not come by often in this game. So I'm not going to squander this second chance that I got. I'm taking Aneesa to a final for the first time in 13 years, and you can bank on that.

Chauncey (DR): I'm just looking straight at Amber. She's just like my extra motivation to keep going. I want to win for me, I want to win for Amber. I want to prove myself

Horacio (DR): Jordan and Chauncey. This is the matchup we all wanted to see. They have two towers down. They're only missing one. It's anybody's game right now.

Jordan (DR): I am never gonna quit. I'm gonna live in Chauncey's dreams forever.

Jordan pulls up Chauncey's leg and gets the momentum to move toward his block

T.J.: Look at this guy!

Jordan knocks down his third block and wins his round

T.J.: Oh my God! (sounds horn)

Jordan and Aneesa win the Rumble Tumble elimination challenge

Devin (DR): Just when we think Jordan is out of juice. This is what separates rookies from champions. In moment, real-time adjustments that get you the win.

T.J.: Great battle. Wow

Jordan (DR): The Challenge doesn't cater to just big strong alphas. You have to find the shtick to every game. And he who finds it first, usually wins

T.J.: Man, amazing.

Jordan (post-elimination with Aneesa): I mean look, when T.J. says clock in, it's time to clock in. And the sand means clock in.

Aneesa (post-elimination): I'm still in shock. I had to set the tone for us

Jordan (post-elimination): Yes, it got me juiced. Clean sweep

Aneesa (post-elimination): Yeah

Tori (DR): Amber and Chauncey, great game guys, but, you did this to yourselves. You vote yourselves into an elimination and it's not gonna be cute. Maybe this is the lesson learned

T.J.: Well, Amber, Chauncey, unfortunately you lost tonight's elimination round, so this ends your time here on The Challenge, but I am positive that we are gonna see you Amber, and you Chauncey.

Chauncey (DR): You win some, you lose some. What's keeping our head up high is that we made it this far in the game and we just lost to two badasses. Can't complain about that.

Chauncey: I love you guys all and um, this has been nothing but an amazing experience and yeah

Amber: My rookie girls, make it to the f***ing final. Everyone else too, good luck

Amber (DR): Chauncey and I didn't make it to a final together, and we were so close. But I'm not mad at the game, I'm not mad at us. I'm so proud of how he played, and I'm proud of my ride or die.

Chauncey (post-elimination w/ Amber): I feel like this made our relationship stronger. I feel like this made us know more what we want. This is my person, so.

Amber: This is my person too. I second that. I know we're leaving here tonight. Empty handed, we ain't got the million, but

Chauncey: That's okay

Amber: This is all that matters next to me right now, in this moment so.

T.J.: Aneesa, Jordan, you both, by winning tonight's elimination round, are still in the game. Congratulations to both of you. Very strong performance. Alright, well, like I told you. You're on your way to the final at any moment. And that moment is not now. (laughs)

Olivia (DR): Clearly we are not going to the final and now we have to be sitting ducks yet again. Riddled with anxiety, waiting for what's to come.

T.J.: Get out of here, I'll see you soon. One step closer!

 

[One]

Bananas: There's five teams left, most likely gonna drop one more, but somehow the most decorated player to ever grace the challenge stage is not all that big of a target. Part of this is by design, okay. I kept a very low profile this season. I've came in with a plan to play it cool and just kind of hide in their shadows.

Jordan: Well if it ain't old Aneesa, I don't give no f***s I'ma get it done Fereira

Aneesa: Cheers

Jordan: Great work today

Aneesa: Oh my God

Jordan: You were so worried. I told ya we are one of the toughest, if not the toughest team to beat in the sand, so if you put our backs against the wall, we're gonna perform

Aneesa: I feel like this season has been like a redemption season for me. You know, I'm not 25 anymore nad like, not built the same. I just needed to feel ike I still had it. I don't know its helped me in some way cause it's like because like I've gone through already faced with adversity and so have you. So it's almost like oh, an elimination? That ain't sh** comparedto what I've been through

Jordan: Yeah. You just put that in your mind of like this is part of it.

Aneesa (DR w/ Jordan): It's been 20 years of doing challenges

As much as I love competing, it would just be nice to finally be a champ. It would just be amazing.

Jordan (DR): The cherry

Aneesa (DR): On top

Jordan: On top, like truly, and you know I've gotta show that I do still have what it takes to be champion and wha tbetter way to do that with someone who's had a career like you, been working for it for so long. It can be done. It will be done.

Aneesa (DR): I mean we came into this together

Jordan (DR): We ride together...

Aneesa and Jordan (DR): We die together

Aneesa: I'm happy you're my partner, cause when it's time to go there's no doubt in my mind that you are going to be there

Jordan: Just put us in the final and it's anyone's game

Olivia (DR): I'm really happy to see Jordan and Aneesa back in the game. She's so underestimated but me and Horacio, I think we're gonna be unstoppable.

Moriah (DR): Bananas and I Are in a really good spot. I am super glad ot have met him.

Bananas (DR): I think Moriah has finally realized just how addictive bananas can actually be.

Faysal: Dude, this has been a wild game dude. This dude hasn't been in elimination one time dude.

Jordan: That's his MO though.

Faysal: It's wild.

Jordan: That's his MO

Faysal: It's like he's good enoug hto where he can win some things, right? Cause he has experience and I mean he's pretty athletic. But then people view him as...

Jordan: they don't wan tot say his name

Jordan (DR): Faysal brings up a good point. There's a 7 time champion in this house who has not seen an elimination yet. You know what Fessy>? I see tha ttoo

Faysal: He kind o fjust sits in the back and just skates by

Jordan: Yep. It lights a fire in you. So he wins a lot and you guys let him stay? You don't like throw him in? Like this is crazy

Devin (DR): If me and Tori get power in this game, i tis get Bananas out at all costsw. It's not because I don't liek the guy anymore, but he's won 7 times. What's he doing here? Someone's gotta send him home. You want something done right? You need to do it yourself

Devin (with Tori): We're probably the best team that's ever played the Challenge together.

Tori: You think so?

Devin: Not even in this game. 38 season.

Tori (DR): We're getting close to the final and all I can think about is that money and that title. There's another Challenge coming up on the horizon. Dave and I are in our ship. We have yet to sail to victory. We need to get a win. Really really bad. This is a crucial time. This is whe nyou gotta lock in. It's right before the final. We need this

Tori: So like in my mind, if we were to win, who do you think

Devin: At this point I'm not afraid of any of these teams

Tori: Oh, not another plan

Devin: I've been wanting to do this

Tori: Okay how

Devin: I was thinking Nany and Bananas. Seems like the right thing to do

Tori: I have a hard time believing that.

Devin (DR): I want to go to my third final, and I wanna win it. I havecovered the entire spectrum of life in this game. I have stunk at everything. I have gone back to the drawing board. I have trained in the offseason. I've learned from legends like Wes. I need to implement those things and now is the time

Faysal (with Moriah): This season has been f***ing stressful dude. I thought we were about to be in the final already

Moriah: Tomorrow, afte rour challenge, I want to go to sleep with both eyes closed, relaxed. Let's just wintomorrow, pretend like if we don't win we're gonna die. We need to come back with something. Orlando style

Faysal: Come back with that money

Moriah: Yeah

Faysal: For me like the money would be cool, but just to be like we f***ing did it. We beat every single team in here

Faysal (DR w/ Moriah): I definietly want to win this game. I've been doing it a couple seasons now and I've come up short eery time. This season I really want to get it done

Moriah: This win is super important fo rme. At first it was most important because I wanted to bea good friend to Fessy and I know how bad he wants to win but the more I'm in this game the more I realize that I want to win too, I want to make it to the final and I want my little ssiters to see this at home and be like "that's my sister!"

Faysal: Bad news...

Moriah: Yeah

Faysal: We don't win the next challenge.

Moriah: We're...

Faysal: We're probably going into elimination

Moriah: I just think Tori and Devin can't win. Tori and Devin win we're 100% going to go because we know that Devin does not want to see you in a final

Tori (DR): Fessy and Moriah are the biggest threat in the game right now in my opinion. They completely dominated that mini final. Fessy barely talks at all, so for Fessy and Moriah to have good communication right now, I mean that goes to show that there actually is a good ride or die partnership existing there and I think that if we don't take the shot and we let them come to the final, there's a good chance they're gonna win it

Olivia (with Horacio): Like I'm done thinking about other people in this game. I'm thinking about now, just us. We're not considered big players because we're rookies

Horacio: yeah

Olivia: We have no idea what the final has in store. But also I mean why would they not save us (?) and get rid of people that could win because they have before

Horacio: Yeah it's a tough spot to be in

Olivia: I know

Horacio: But we're so close to the end. It could be like they announce the final, we're in this

Olivia: When we work our asses off. People have stood by and f***ing skated by, which I understand because it's part of the game and being a vet

Horacio: Exactly

Horacio (DR): Bananas, you've been able to just dodge bullets left and right. You're a seven time champ and you haven't been to elimination? I mean come on, this is the only fair thing to do.

Nany (with Bananas): So how are you feeling?

Bananas: It's like this is it. This is our entire season onw has been filtered out to this.

Nany (DR w/ Bananas): Every pair that's left is really good

Bananas (DR): mmhm

Nany (DR): So it's hard to say who is going to make this final and who isn't. You don't even now how many challenges we have left. Anything can really happen.

Bananas (DR): The stakes never been higher. We're right there. We're sniffing this final and if we can just make it to the final and run this thing it's like there's nobody that deserves the W and the money more than you.

Bananas: It's kind of miraculous that we've kind of gotten as far as we have relatively unscathed. I don't wanna bring it up but I'm the only person in this house that hasn't seen an elimination so (silence)

Nany: (laughs) And nobody even realizes that

Bananas: shhh

Nany: Are these people stupid?

Bananas: Yes they are stupid

Nany: Dumb as f***

Bananas: God man. Like Jesus

Bananas (DR): I'm hoping that I'm the only one that notices this. Maybe they've just forgot

 

[One]

Olivia (DR): The next challenge is the most important challenge of this whole season. There's only five teams left. Everyone in the house, they're best friends, and then there's us. We are going to be the direct vote for sure if we do not win.

Daily Challenge

T.J.: Alright everyone. Welcome to the most important challenge of the season. You want to win today. Now, today's challenge is called "Frozen Senseless". Out here in the center of this field are five freezing cold ice baths. To begin, you and your partner are gonna take your places at your ice bath. When I say go, you're gonna race in opposite directions toward those barricades that you must dig under to get through. Once you've made it through, you've race to your respective sides of the course. One of you will be feeling around in that black box attempting to make sense of the 3D symbols inside, while the other player gets a look of the symbols at the solving station. Once you've memorized enough information, you're both going to make your way back to the center. You're gonna submerge in that ice water and attempt to communicate all of the information that you've just received.

Bananas: So the information has to be relayed in the bucket

T.J.: The information has to be relayed in the ice bath

Jordan: I thought you just submerge and then just run away

T.J.: No, you can submerge yourselves all you want. I mean you can do it for fun. F***ing go in there right now, I don't care. It's for your muscles.

Now, once you have relayed all your information in the ice bath, you're gonna jump out and continue the process. The pair to get it done first will win today's challenge and be the only pair safe from elimination. Alright. Good luck everyone. Get it done.

Bananas (pre-challenge w/ Nany): There is a lot riding on a challenge tha tis going to really test a lot of our skill sets. This is gonna be tough. It's gonna be painful

Nany (pre-challenge): Yeah, as long as you stay calm and you keep breathing you'll be okay. And then also being able to communicate

Bananas (pre-challenge): Now, just in the interest of full disclosure, I dropped...


Horacio (pre-challenge w/ Olivia): Going into freezing water, it could play with your head, and we have to be able to keep our composure

Olivia (pre-challenge): I have a lot of confidence in us as a pair and I'm like listen, I'm from Alaska, this isn't my first time in some ice so I'm hoping that you know, I'm still that ice queen if you know what I'm saying

Horacio (pre-challenge): There ya go

Tori (pre-challenge w/ Devin): Nobody really wants to go in an ice bath right now. That wasn't my idea of like a great challenge so we're just gonna have to deal with what we got

Devin (pre-challenge): Our communication skills as a pair are second to none in here and this is about trust and communication and I don't think there's a pair out there that has more of that so I'm confident

Tori (pre-challenge): Yeah

T.J.: Alright everyone ready? Set... Go!

Moriah (DR): If Fessy and I do not win, we are definitely a target. We have a really good chance of winning the final. All it takes is one elimination that's not in our favor and we might get sent home.

Devin (DR): I'm gonna be going to the puzzle key because I'm very articulate and I have an incredible attention to detail. Tori's gonna be reassembling and if you tell it wrong and they do that, it's still wrong

Jordan: I'm gonna be the one who's feeling on the puzzle pieces because I am pretty damn detail oriented. I know have to remember five things at one time. Easy peasy. I just need Aneesa to get under this damn wall because if you don't win, you are going down in the sand.

Devin (DR): I'm an ice bath guy. I go into frozen rivers, middle of February, Massachusetts okay? 34 degree water. I'm unphased by this. If we lose this, we stink.

Devin: Listen to me, the boxes are in a triangle. Box 1, Box 2, Box 3. Box 1 top, plus sign

Bananas: It's the middle box, facing you. The side facing you. Double arrow pointed down to the right

Nany: Okay, double arrow pointed down to the right

Bananas: Facing you

Nany: Yeah

Nany (DR): The symbols that I just saw are pretty much nothing that Johnny is describing to me so this is definitely a little more difficult than I expected

Devin: Box 3, multiplication. X, X, got it?

Aneesa: I don't get the whole side way orientation but I'll try it

Jordan: Aneesa, look at me. You're looking at the box. One, two, three

Aneesa: One side, left side, side side, top side. Okay

Faysal: Get the front sign, what's the back? Wait wait. And then, on the back side is the same type of arrow...

Moriah: Wait, you're giving me too much information

Faysal: She's saying this is too much information and I'm like oh sh**, maybe I should be a little slower. There's a lot of pressure on today's challenge obviously it's a must win but right now the best thing we can do for us is to stay calm

Bananas: On the back would be what you said is a triangle

Nany: Yes

Bananas: I'm sorry an arrow. Okay?

Nany: Yeah

Bananas: And which side, which way did you have the arrow pointed

Nany: To the right. The arrow is this way. To the right like this, Johnny, like this

Bananas (DR): Trying to like communicate and trying to describe things while you're in a freezing cold tub of ice short circuits your brain, and Nany and I need all the brain power we can get to communicate as it is

Tori: Hollow arrow, double X, double arrow

Devin: Yes

Jordan: Double cross. Regular triangle to you

Olivia: The one on top across, is it cross like this? Or a cross like Jesus?

Horacio: Just like this. Jesus.

Olivia: Jesus okay

Horacio: Facing just straight

Olivia: Okay

Horacio (DR): Our communication is always on point. If she doesn't understand anything, she just lets me know. I do see other ride or die pairs kind of blowing up on each other

Nany: Clover facing to the right

Bananas: So there's a clover?

Nany: You know what it looks like... it's an arrow, it's an arrow. A f***ing arrow

Faysal: Listen

Moriah: Plus, triangle, X

Faysal: Yeah, the triangle is facing you. We're going from the front, then you're going right

Moriah: And the triangle...

Bananas: This is the side of box, right?

Nany: Yes

Bananas: Okay, X. Facing the exact same way

Nany: Okay, okay, okay, you're, just do one by one. Do the middle now

Bananas: I'm doing the middle

Bananas (DR): Sometimes we show up and we are 100% locked in on the same page. Other times we show up and we are on opposite sides of the universe

Bananas: Those are the only two I got

Nany: Okay

Bananas (DR): Winning has never been more important because the only thing worse than going home first is going home last

Devin: You got it? Double triangle, right, X, hollow triangle left

Tori (DR): Devin and I are obviously a great team but anything can happen, so I need to be quicker on this puzzle and so does Devin

Tori: Double triangle right?

Devin: Yes

Devin and Tori: X, hollow triangle left

Devin: Got it?

Tori: Double triangle right, X

Devin and Tori: hollow triangle left

Olivia: Triangle double and X

Horacio: X, exactly

Olivia: I can do that

Horacio: You got it, you got it you got it you got it. I'm going to the next one

Nany: Okay

Tori: Check?

T.J.: (sounds horn) Alright Tori and Devin win

Devin (post-challenge w/ Tori): I'm fired up baby. I'm stoked. Timely win. Ice in our veins. This is where we thrive

Tori (post-challenge): I'm pumped. I mean we needed this. We needed this all season. I am so proud of Devin. Honestly being his partner just is the best thing in the world

Devin (post-challenge): you know the two of us, we're yin and yang in this thing. This might be our season.

T.J.: Great challenge today everyone. The pressure was on. Tori and Devin getting it done.

Bananas: Hell of a time for your first dub you two

Bananas (DR): I've resolved a lot of the pre-existing that I've had with Devin. We are actually kind of working together and on the same page but I mean I know that there's always an angle with Devin

T.J.: Tori and Devin, now you are the only pair safe from elimination, which means you are the only pair 100% one step closer to the final. (laughs). And now, as the winners, you have some power. You have to go back to the house and decide which pair you're sending directly into the zone, with the rest facing The Draw.

Aneesa (DR): I'm happy that Tori and Devin have finally won a challenge, which kind of makes me feel a little bit safer and that I might not have to go into the elimination

T.J.: Alright, take care you guys. See you soon. Get out of here

Olivia (DR): It would be easy for Devin and Tori to make use the direct vote because we are a rookie/rookie team and they're so close to the final that if they piss off one of their best friends, I don't know if they'll ever be forgiven, so they have a big decision to make and it better be the right one. That's all I'm saying.
