it's all tied up.

Are you sure you don't want
to change your votes?

Yeah, I'm sure.

And she's not shaking.

That is a challenger.

Zara, since this is
a female elimination,

your vote is the tiebreaker.

That means Kiki is going in.

Kaz, you need to go ahead

Kiki, you're down here tonight.

Oh, my God!

Ah! Yes!

I am completely shocked
right now.

This is not what I thought
was gonna happen.

The plan was always
Kiki's name just as a pawn

and that she would be safe
from the elimination, for sure.

I knew Zara
would have my back.

I've been given a lifeline.

There are three
UK team members,

and the game is on now.

Things need to switch up.

That starts today.

All right, ladies,
tonight, you are playing

a Challenge favorite.

This is Pole Wrestle.

[cheers and applause]

Pole Wrestle, okay.

To begin,
you and your opponent

are gonna start
on either side of that pole.

When I say go,
you're gonna push, pull,

or prod it
out of your opponent's hand

by any means necessary.

Okay.

First one to three wins
tonight's elimination round,

stays in the game.

This could potentially mean

a $500,000 game
of Pole Wrestle.

Make it count, all right?

- Mm-hmm.
- Good luck.

[overlapping cheers]

Yes, Claudia! Yes, Kiki!

I am really not an
aggressive person,

so I'm really gonna struggle.

I'm really hoping
that I can push past

the anxiety
that I'm currently feeling

because I obviously
don't want to go.

And I don't want to let my
team down or my country down.

the best of me in this arena

Pole Wrestle famous,

It's really hard to see

Absolute savage.

Go ahead and rejoin the group.

that I learnt tonight

was that we have no idea
what to expect in this game.

you're a bit starstruck.

Global MVPs, I told you all
how you do in the qualifier

would have a significant impact
on your game, and I meant it.

You are going to pick
these teams

in the order in which
you finished that qualifier.

So it can make or break
your entire $500,000 season

right here.
