Original subtitles

Previously on The Challenge...

ALL: ...things got steamy.

(laughter)

I know we've had our other games,

but you have my 100% trust.

TJ: Tyson, select one team to come down here

and go against Cinco and Azah.

-Leo and Sarah. -SARAH: Really, Tyson, I thought

you had a little bit more ethic.

I can make you look like an idiot,

and now, that's where we're at.

Today's challenge is called Containment.

-Go! -(air horn blows)

KYLAND: Come on, Leo. Jump.

Push through the fear.

SARAH: I don't want to be paired with Leo.

He's not the kind of partner

that you want.

-Shit. -You're not gonna do it?

ENZO: Nah, I can't do it, yo.

-TJ: All right. That's it. -(air horn blows)

Enzo, Justine,

I'll be seeing you two in the Arena.

ENZO: If I can't get a challenge win,

then you got to start thinking about who has money,

and if they got more than $5,000,

then I'm gonna have to face somebody

in the elimination and get my money.

TJ: David and Desi,

select one team to send into the Arena

to go against Enzo and Justine.

It'll be Derek and Shannon.

CAYLA: J, Enzo, let's go.

(air horn blows)

Derek, Shannon, take care of yourselves.

Now it's time to see

what the Algorithm has in store.

-All right, first up... -DESI: I'm feeling pretty fired up.

I finally have some money in my Challenge bank account

and enough to run the final.

The name of the game is keeping the money

and staying in the game.

Enzo. Enzo's new teammate is...

-Angela. -ANGELA: I'm a little skeptical

of being partnered with Enzo.

His last showing was not his best.

Now I'm worried about coming in last.

Danny. Danny's new teammate is...

-Justine. -(cheering, applause)

DANNY: She's won two eliminations now.

She's won a daily challenge.

She's probably the MVP of the season so far.

Now it's time for her to bring some of that good fortune

to me so I can get some money

and qualify myself for the final.

David. Cashay.

Kyland. Kyra.

KYRA: Getting Kyland as my new partner,

I am hoping that this challenge is endurance.

I need to qualify for this final with TJ,

like, I need some coin.

Next one up: Leo.

Leo's new teammate is Alyssa.

ALYSSA: Leo's great.

Leo is the best competitor here,

and I'm so excited to compete with him.

Was it believable? Was it not bad?

I don't know.

TJ: Domenick.

Domenick's new teammate is...

Cayla.

(applause)

Next up: Tyson.

Tyson's new teammate is...

...Sarah.

That's gonna be a good one.

TYSON: Being paired with Sarah is actually for me

an advantage right now, because she wants to get rid of me.

And if she's with me, she can't,

because we're attached at the hip.

I'm gonna have fun with it this week.

As long as she's not in a full, frothy rage,

then I can tolerate it.

You made my life hell for a little bit,

so I'll just return the favor a little bit, Tyson.

Do I genuinely like her?

I mean, I don't hate her.

Which means Ben and Desi.

(laughter, applause)

These are your new teammates. Get out of here.

* *

* *

* *

ENZO: Let's go.

-Let's get it. -(cheering)

I think it's probably good that you're with Sarah.

I think so, too, but, well, we might have to get, uh,

more stern with people as we get closer,

like, don't put people with money in or else

-you become the target of everyone with money. -KYLAND: 100%

KYLAND: I came here to win.

I came here to compete

with the best competitors in the game

to make it to the end.

Myself, Tyson and Angela,

we've won most of the challenges so far.

I feel good about our strength,

but I also know we're probably

the biggest targets in the house.

-ANGELA: Like, a mild threat? -Yeah, just a mild one.

DOMENICK: Angela, Tyson and Kyland,

-they're winning everything. -Angela and Tyson.

-Yeah! -(cheering, applause)

TJ: Kyland and Angela getting it done.

We're getting close to the final,

I don't have my qualifying money.

I've been trying to figure out ways to break up

this three-headed monster.

I have to make something happen soon.

Got to do what you got to do.

SARAH: At this point, we just need to move forward.

I want to work with you.

You deserve to be here. You deserve to be at the end.

We could win, and then I'm qualified for the finals.

Or if I want to go in, take some money,

Tyson is really strong, he's really athletic,

and I'm not afraid to go into an elimination.

So either way, this week is gonna be a win for Sarah.

I'm giving you my word. I'm not coming for you.

-Same. -I know that,

in her heart somewhere, she's not good with me,

even if she's saying she's good with me.

Let's win tomorrow. That'll be the easiest thing.

-Let's do it, buddy. -TYSON: I have a pretty good stockpile

of Challenge bucks in my account,

and there really isn't a need for me to win more challenges.

The only need is the only

100% guarantee to keep me safe

from going into elimination, which I like.

And I like having a little power.

-Sounds good. -Oh, we can do a real hug.

-Okay? -SARAH: Mm.

I want Tyson to think I trust Tyson,

but I will never trust Tyson.

-TYSON: I feel good. -I feel good.

* *

ALYSSA: Leo, I don't want to be partnered with,

but I'm trying to think positively for the both of us.

Obviously, I still want to win to be safe this week,

and I already got my money for the final.

Now my mind is focused strictly on making it to the final

and winning this game.

(FaceTime ringing)

-Hi. -LEO: Hey. How are you?

-Good. How are y'all? -Good.

How are you? Are you behaving?

Yeah, of course. I just sleep all day like a cat.

Oh, nice.

You sleep all day while I, uh, put out fires.

There's been so much crap going on.

LEO: I'm lucky and fortunate to have three, uh, bars, but...

communicating back home has been difficult.

I got my family, I got my girlfriend,

who are working hard so that I could be here

on The Challenge.

The credit card machine is working, right?

ALIA: They have to use their phones.

This is, like, stuff that you should be here to deal with.

We don't know any of this stuff. This is all your-your business.

-It's ridiculous. -LEO: Once I win The Challenge,

this money will do a lot of good

back with my businesses, back with my family,

my friends, my employees.

But I do feel guilty at times.

I don't know what the fuck is going on, like...

I know. But you know who's suffering? Me.

And you know who's also suffering? Your employees.

Yeah, I know, if you could talk to everyone...

They're very unhappy with you right now.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna leave today.

I'm gonna fucking walk out the door right now.

Okay.

ALYSSA: Wait, wait. What the...?

-Leo. -There's an emergency at home,

so I got to go.

They're gonna, like, go out of business.

Okay, but if you leave, that could fuck me up.

LEO: If I don't leave,

my businesses are gonna go out of business.

KYRA: If he really wants to go, it's like, "Dude, go."

Everyone pretty much does not want to be paired with Leo.

If you're gonna give up and decide to go home? Cool.

LEO: The credit cards aren't working.

I lost 43 grand this weekend.

ALYSSA: Is it something that can be addressed

tomorrow morning, at least?

Because you could leave, and then I might have to.

Could you at least maybe just meet in the middle here?

Do that for me?

* *

LEO: There's a lot going on in my mind,

but I got Alyssa that I got to worry about right now

because she's my partner.

ALYSSA: I honestly didn't get much sleep.

He hasn't left, so I'm excited.

TJ: All right, everyone.

-Welcome to your next challenge. -(applause)

Today's challenge is called Wreck-reational Driving.

You're gonna be driving a car with four balls

attached to the side of it.

This is a last car driving scenario.

If, at any time, your car wrecks

or all of your balls are popped or get knocked off,

then you're out.

-(cheering, applause) -Yes!

TJ: The last car that's driving will win today's challenge,

be safe from elimination and be selecting one team

to send into the Arena to go against today's losers,

who happens to be the first car out.

They will also receive $10,000 to split

in your Challenge accounts,

which qualifies you to run my final.

Now, you're not just playing to earn the coveted cash prize,

you are also competing to earn your spot

in the first ever Challenge: World Championship,

streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

-Got it? -Got it.

Now one more thing. To make it a little more Challenge-worthy,

every single driver will be blindfolded.

(groaning)

Their teammate is going to be their eyes,

so they're gonna be sitting shotgun telling them what to do.

So I really hope you are getting along with your new teammates.

-Good luck. -(applause)

KYLAND: Have I driven a car

with my eyes closed or somebody covering my eyes before?

Yes.

I have some crazy friends, and we do

some crazy things sometimes.

Uh, at least, we did, when we were younger.

Definitely not-- nothing like this now.

Don't worry, Mom.

CASHAY: (whoops) We got this, boy.

DAVID: Let's do this shit.

ANGELA: You know how to do it now?

ENZO: It's just hard being blindfolded

and not fucking seeing nothing.

CAYLA: I've named our car.

It's Dreamsicle.

It's a Dreamsicle. Dreamsicle.

(crickets chirping)

DANNY: Feel like I'm in a movie.

Uh, Talladega Nights? Yeah?

JUSTINE: Never seen any of those, so...

Okay, yeah, she-she's a little younger, so yeah.

-We Talladega Nights. -(laughs)

JUSTINE: The goal is to get Danny some money today,

so we're trying to win.

-Yes, yes. -We're gonna win this.

Yes, give me some.

KYRA: What's N stand for?

-KYLAND: Neutral. -Oh.

Between the two of us, we have great relationships

in the house, but this is The Challenge.

You never know what's gonna happen.

It's always good to guarantee that safety.

-It's time to get Kyra her money, so... -Yes, I'm broke.

I'm broke as hell.

We're gonna get this girl qualified for the final.

* *

TJ: All right, everyone, ready?

-(air horn blows) -Go!

(engines roar)

KYLAND: Here we go. Go, go, go.

DESI: All right, start going left. Left, left, left!

Fuck.

We just got hit hard. There you go.

CASHAY: Straight. Turn the wheel, turn the wheel.

Turn right, right, right, right.

That's left. Ugh.

(groans)

JUSTINE: Bud, stay straight, you're going in left.

Left, left, left, left.

(cackles)

CAYLA: Go more to the left, more to the left, more to the left.

So far, so good.

DOMENICK: Just speak louder, all right?

-CAYLA: Okay. -Louder.

DOMENICK: Having Cayla in the passenger seat

reminds me a little bit of back home.

My wife giving me instructions, I'm immediately doing it.

I believe Cayla is the perfect person to have

for this challenge because she's clear, concise...

CAYLA: Oh, hard left, hard left, hard left, hard left.

-DOMENICK: What's up? -We're good.

KYRA: To the right. Hard right.

-Hard right, hard right. -KYLAND: What? Hard right.

ALYSSA: Go, go, go. A little to the right.

Right, right, straight, straight, straight.

LEO: You guys will call me Wreck-It Leo,

because I'm wrecking all these cars.

ALYSSA: Straight. Go, go, go, go! Go, go, go!

(Danny shouts)

-JUSTINE: Okay. -ALYSSA: Yes, Leo, go!

ALYSSA: To the right.

Leo is doing really well with my directions.

I got him to not leave The Challenge,

so I think I can get him to drive a car.

DESI: There you go, there you go.

Slow and steady, slow and steady.

BEN: I've raced cars at my home track

at Meridian Speedway.

We want to keep our tires clean,

our motor running.

This is when I get my money.

I'm more confident

than I've ever been

this entire competition right now.

-DESI: Do you want to get Tyson and Sarah? -Yeah!

DESI: Go straight. Hard straight, straight hard.

TYSON: Did someone pop us?

TJ: (laughs) Nice.

JUSTINE: Go forward. There's a car in front of us you can hit.

Good, that's Cayla and Dom. Keep going.

-We didn't pop it. -DANNY: In regular life,

I am a very good driver.

I drive my wife Kiki around everywhere

because she is the opposite.

She's a horrible driver,

so she would know that I am probably

the best driver on the road.

TYSON: Left, left, left-- Keep going.

Go, go, go, go, go!

People were chasing us. Keep going straight.

CAYLA: Hard left, hard left! Almost.

It is so important that I stay calm

and clear because there is so much noise happening.

The more clear and concise I can be for Dom,

the easier it will be to follow my directions.

DESI: Oh, go fast. Someone is coming for you.

Go straight. Hard straight. Straight, hard.

CAYLA: Hard left, hard left, hard left, hard left.

ALYSSA: Straight, straight, straight.

Okay, left, left, left. Hard left.

Hard left, hard left, hard left, hard left.

Straight, straight, straight!

Straight, go. Go, go, go!

Yes! (shouts) No-- Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!

-(TJ laughs) -ALYSSA: Okay, we're good.

-You okay? You okay? -Yep, yep, no, back up. You're good.

Are you able to go back?

You need to go backwards. Go, go, go, go.

(engine clicking)

ALYSSA: Go, go, go! Yes! (shouts)

No-- stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!

-(TJ laughs) -Okay. We're good.

-LEO: You okay? You okay? -Yep, yep. No, back up.

-You're good. -(laughs)

-TJ: Better get reversed. -Are you able to go back?

JUSTINE: Right in front of us, Leo's trapped,

so get them, straight, straight, straight.

-(TJ laughs) -LEO: Oh, shit. You okay?

-(air horn blows) -ALYSSA: We're done.

Leo, we're out.

Going into elimination isn't necessarily ideal,

since I already have my money for the final,

but I will say, even though Leo

almost left my ass, um, the night before the challenge,

he still tried his heart out, so I don't think he's gonna

be doing that on the elimination.

If he does, I will bitch him out.

You were doing so good.

TYSON: Hard left-left, let's go, go!

Go, go, go, go, left, left, left!

SARAH: As a police officer, I go through driving courses

and simulated chases.

It's like I'm at work right now.

I'm in the driver's seat, like I always am.

ANGELA: Keep going right, right, right, right, right.

Right, right, right. Right.

Okay, we're stuck.

(air horn blows)

JUSTINE: You're doing good. We got two cars out.

Two cars out.

KYRA: Slow down, slow down. Hard right, hard right.

You're going-- Stop, stop, stop.

Stop, stop, stop. Pause, pause.

We're on one of the tanks.

Fuck.

-KYLAND: Well... -(air horn blows)

I hope we don't, but if we go into elimination,

-at least I'm glad it's you. -(laughs)

TYSON: Stay right, right, right, right, right.

We're good, go, go, go.

CASHAY: Okay, wait. Go right. Go right, right.

Yeah, left, left, left, left.

Left, left, left.

What's happening?

Hard left, hard left.

-Oh, fuck! Damn it. -(TJ laughs)

-(air horn blows) -(grunts)

DAVID: I don't want elimination right now.

No, no, no, no, no. Not with Cash, not with Cash.

DESI: There you go. A lot of people are out.

I'm terrified. These cars are more fragile

than we think they are,

and I don't want to hit anybody at full speed that's gonna

potentially take us out of the game.

Slowly, slowly.

Slow-- now straight. Go straight.

-Straight, straight. -TYSON: Right, right.

DESI: Straight. There you go.

TYSON: That's okay, keep going. Keep going.

Spin them out, spin them out.

DESI: We're connected to Sarah and Tyson right now.

Make a right.

-Right. -TYSON: Left, left,

left, left, left, left, left, left, left.

Gun it, gun it, left, left, left, left, left, gun it-- No!

-SARAH: Our car won't start. -TYSON: It's dead!

-(air horn blows) -SARAH: Is this an opportunity

to go in and get my money from Alyssa and Leo?

I have Tyson as a partner.

Do we take advantage of a strong partnership

and help me earn my money?

Plus, it makes Tyson then sweat it a little bit,

and I want him to sweat it a little bit.

DESI: Yeah, they just crashed.

All right, good. All right, forward.

CAYLA: Hard left, hard left.

Hard left, hard left, hard left. Dude, we're doing great.

JUSTINE: Okay, we're in a good spot where

there's no one around us. We're literally alone right now.

DESI: Start-- Slow down, slow down, slow down.

Hard left, hard left, left, left!

TJ: Oh! Oh, Ben!

DESI: Oh, fuck.

I'm sorry, Ben. We might be stuck.

We're on top-- right on top of the barrel.

-(air horn blows) -I'm so sorry, Ben.

BEN: Damn it!

CAYLA (laughs): Oh, my God.

Hard right, hard right, hard right.

DOMENICK: There's only Danny and Justine left,

so if I can get the power right now,

it would be great for my game, because someone

at some point has to take a shot at this threesome

in Angela, Tyson and Kyland, and I'm ready to do it.

JUSTINE: There's barrels. These are barrels. You're fine.

You're gonna hit them, but it's okay.

Oh, shit. They're behind us. Okay.

-To the right, to the right! -TJ: Oh! Nice!

CAYLA: Yes. Back up, reverse. Reverse.

JUSTINE: Okay, it's okay. We got to go.

All right, go. Go left.

We're literally just putt-putting across this field,

like, we're not even moving.

Our car really said, "I don't want to work with y'all."

-They're coming towards us. -DANNY: Which way?

JUSTINE: Go forward, go forward, go forward... No!

CAYLA: Yes, yes. Hard right, hard right, hard right.

JUSTINE: Forward, forward, go straight forward.

Oh, shit, they're behind us again.

(air horn blows)

(Danny grunts)

JUSTINE: It's all right, you did good.

DOMENICK: We were driving the whole time.

-We didn't stop one time. -CAYLA: Dude, that was so fun.

-Come on. -(squealing): You did so good!

CAYLA: Dom and I win, and I am so happy

because we are both qualified for TJ's final

and it feels so good.

ANGELA: I don't know what Dom and Cayla are gonna do, honestly.

-They-they're not... -You don't think they're gonna go after me?

-No. -Who are they gonna go after?

Me and Kyland threw Dom into an elimination with Cash.

At this point, I feel like it really could be me

going in with Enzo,

and I'm honestly terrified,

especially having Enzo as a partner

because I just feel like

he is a weaker competitor within this house.

I just don't know what the other options are.

That was an amazing challenge.

(laughter, applause)

Now, several teams got stuck and couldn't go anymore.

But Leo and Alyssa, I'll be seeing you in the Arena.

All right?

As for the winners, the one car,

the last car that kept driving: Cayla and Domenick.

-Yes! Finally. -(cheering, applause)

Congratulations on winning today's challenge.

You are both safe from elimination,

and now you're gonna receive $10,000

to split in your Challenge accounts.

-Congratulations. -(applause)

Now I'm gonna need you to deliberate

and select one team to send into the Arena

to go against Leo and Alyssa.

Cayla's my ride or die. She has my back.

So whoever they want me to take out, I'll take out.

-Name your target. -TJ: I'll get that decision in the Arena.

Good luck, everyone. Take care. Good job.

(cheering, applause)

CAYLA: I literally want to cry. I'm so happy.

DOMENICK: The thing for me, though,

is there is someone in this game who threw me

into elimination, so I do have to think about

"Is it time to pay some of that back?"

CAYLA: I have a feeling we'll agree on who we want.

Vendettas are a son of a gun out here, for sure.

(both laugh)

* *

LEO: Thank you, sir.

ALYSSA: Damn, it's so crazy that there's this many people left.

-It's, like, half the board. -Literally.

ALYSSA: It's kind of hilarious

that I have not wanted to be partnered with Leo,

and then to have to compete in elimination with Leo.

At least just give me your all,

and that's all I want, and then,

you never have to talk to me again.

DOMENICK: Just 'cause you've had a rough few days,

we just want to make sure

that you're in this, because that means a lot

-to the decision-making process. -LEO: Yeah, no, of course.

Me wanting to leave, how does that look?

I understand that, but most importantly,

I don't want to let her down, so I'm in it to win it.

It may seem selfish that I am here,

but the bigger picture is that I'm gonna win all this money,

bring it back home to the businesses

that have helped me become the man that I am.

$500,000 is on the line, so I'm gonna put up with it

and do my family and my friends all proud

and get all the way to the end.

All right, what are your initial thoughts?

We don't want to just throw out names...

-For the sake of saying-- Okay. -...for no reason.

-I'm fine with that. -ALYSSA: I'm not even close

with Cayla and Dom, so I'm not going to say

a name I want to go against,

'cause you're just gonna use that against me.

So I'm just going to not care who they put in

and just be prepared either way.

Yeah. Absolutely, guys.

-Thank you, guys. -You know what's up.

-You know what's up. -Thank you, guys.

LEO: All right, guys. See you.

(grunting)

Looking at the board, I do see candidates

-that I would consider... -CAYLA: Okay.

...one of them being Ange and Enzo, because Ange put me in.

Even though I love Enzo and he's my boy out here,

-I have to think past that. -Mm-hmm.

And then Kyland and Kyra because Kyland put me in.

He's a huge threat to me in this game.

CAYLA: I have constantly had to walk

around this compound being ready

to be thrown into an elimination at any moment,

where a big group in this house

has been walking around comfortable.

I have someone in mind

that does not talk game to me time and time again,

and I want to take the shot no matter what.

I need to make sure Dom

is willing to take the shot as well.

I'm ready to shake it up a little bit.

I want as many people

-On edge. Right. -...unsure and on edge as possible.

Same.

* *

ANGELA: I know we haven't, like, talked a ton of game...

-Mm-hmm. -...but I feel like I have never...

I suppose I've never, like, had you as a person of...

-that I wanted to get out. -Same.

Like it's never been, like-- you've never been on my radar.

ANGELA: This is the first time where I really feel

like I am in jeopardy

and that I might be going into an elimination.

I've played this game since day one because me and Tyson

won the first one strategizing,

"How do I stay in this?

"How do I keep the people

that I want to go to the final with here?"

I feel like it's either me or Kyland,

and even though Kyland's someone

I'm working closely with,

at this point, I have to look out for myself.

My concern is the men who don't have the money

that have talked about wanting to go in.

ANGELA: And that's what I was gonna offer you,

is that if I win any of these next couple challenges,

if you're ever in a position

where you're partnered with someone that wants to go in,

-it's totally off the table. -Okay.

CAYLA: Angela, of all people,

who I've had zero conversations with prior to this point,

really comes at me with a solid deal.

Convenient timing.

If someone that you're partnered with

needs money next week, I will not be letting them...

-Sure, sure, sure. No, yeah. -...take you down with them.

Let's not beat around the bush.

You and Kyland threw me in.

If there's a short list, I'd be lying to say

you're not on it, but nothing is definite at this point.

I don't trust Angela. She took a stab at me.

I want to repay her the same favor.

She's running around like she's got this game in the bag,

and I just want her to feel

what it's like to be vulnerable one time.

Angela just pulled me aside and I said, "Ange,

"obviously, you know, you threw me in, Kyland threw me in.

"These are obvious, you know,

easily justifiable decisions to make."

I said, "But, right now, we really don't know."

You know? I don't-- I don't have to name anything, you know?

-But just keep it like that. -Have you noticed...

Because he knows Sarah would love

to, like, flip it on him at the last second

the way he did it, you know what I mean?

TYSON: I know people have been asking to go in.

Who's asking to go in?

Sarah doesn't have enough money to be eligible to run the final.

Could she go to Dom behind my back

and ask to be put into the elimination with me?

I wouldn't put it past her. If I were in her position,

I would definitely think of that as well.

Sucks, 'cause I clearly want my money.

I have a good partner.

I think it's too early to do that, honestly.

SARAH: Yeah, I'm-I'm-- honestly,

-I'm not... -There's no reason to lie right now.

No, I-I mean...

DOMENICK: Sarah's asking me

to entertain the idea of throwing her and Tyson

into elimination so that she can get her money.

SARAH: I think I'm in a good position for an opportunity.

-I see what you're saying. -You wanted to play hardball, you're pitching.

-No, I know. I know, I know... -I'll sit there and catch.

You know your partner's not in agreement, but whatever.

I want to help my friends in this game.

But I also want to make sure that the people

I want out of this game go home.

* *

Kyland, Kyland, Kyland.

Oh, how the tables have turned.

(laughs)

To say that you weren't on a short list right now

-would be silly. -Yeah.

-But if you feel that there's a deal to be made... -DOMENICK: An opportunity.

-Right, an opportunity. -An opportunity.

Yeah, that's-- well, trust me,

we're getting approached by that as well.

KYLAND: Now that they're qualified for the final,

I really want Dom and Cayla to consider

if they think it's best for their game to use

this moment of power for revenge as opposed to

an opportunity to build bonds

that can help them get to the end of this game.

If me and Kyra go in, we're feeling good about our odds.

Coming back. Sure.

And so, especially since I have,

you know, a close friend in the pit, like,

I don't want to send them home myself,

and not being put in that situation

is enough for me to want to repay that favor.

DOMENICK: I have to weigh out these few options I have.

You know, Kyland and Kyra, two very strong people

going in against Leo and Alyssa.

If I take that shot and I miss, I could be in trouble.

So I have a lot to think about.

Hmm.

* *

* *

TJ: All right, everyone.

Welcome back to the Arena.

Alyssa, Leo, come on in.

(applause)

TJ: Domenick, Cayla,

I need you to select one team to send into the Arena

to go against Leo and Alyssa.

Yo, you guys look cool.

DOMENICK: So our vote...

...is for Kyland and Kyra.

CAYLA: It was best for myself

and Dom's game today.

Every single elimination prior to this one,

Kyland has had individual conversations

with practically everyone, excluding myself.

So I thought, with being in power,

maybe I would finally get my one-on-one conversation.

That has not happened,

making my decision very easy.

Kyland and Kyra, come on down.

(applause)

DOMENICK: It's a constant battle I have in my head

back and forth, but I have to take the shot.

It doesn't make sense to get rid of Angela

at this point.

She's a strong female.

And in addition to all of that,

I don't want to run a final with Kyland.

He's a powerhouse out here.

TJ: All right.

Tonight you are playing Ball & Chain.

As you can see behind me, there's a giant wall right here

in the middle of the Arena.

At the top of that wall are six panels.

Behind every panel is a trivia question.

And there is a rack of chained-up medicine balls

on either side.

Now, these balls are very heavy.

When I say go, you'll have to prop your partner up

to reveal one of those questions.

Now, on each ball, there is a number

that is an answer to every question.

Your goal is to free that ball

and then place it directly above the question.

First team to answer all six questions correctly

will win tonight's elimination round,

and stay in the game.

We got a lot of money on the line tonight,

and the winning team will be qualifying to run my final.

So, good luck, everyone.

-Yo. -(applause)

Come on, just go in.

Oh, my God.

KYLAND: Some people use winning as an opportunity

to get revenge, some people use it

as an opportunity to strategically get themselves

to the end of the game.

Not surprising he chose the former,

but I think time will show it to be a mistake.

KYRA: I obviously don't feel good

because I don't really have beef with them,

-so I just am being dragged into this, which... -My bad.

...doesn't feel good, um, but I definitely need the money.

I have not won a single challenge yet,

and if I conquer this, then I'm good for the final,

so that's what this is to me.

LEO: Yesterday was a tough day for me

because of some emergencies going on back home,

but all I'm worrying about this moment is Alyssa.

She's my ride or die right now.

Look what happened. Maybe I should be Dr. Phil.

-(laughs) -Changed his mind like that.

TJ: All right, everyone, you ready?

(Leo whoops)

-Go! -(air horn blows)

-Come on! -Ready?

BEN: Get it.

KYLAND: Lift. Pull it.

There we go. "How many dimes are there in five dollars?"

50?

I'm feeling confident going into this elimination

'cause I studied a lot of trivia...

-Okay. -...and the height between

me and Kyra can be an advantage for us.

LEO: Okay, hold it, and I'm gonna lift you, you ready?

KYLAND: Literally, I am

a kick-ass step stool.

-(Kyra yelps) -BEN: Oh, oh, shit.

SARAH: I wonder how heavy that is.

TYSON: 20 pounds.

-Oh, fuck. -KYLAND: Kyra, come on.

-Oh, careful, careful, guys. -LEO: I got it, I got it.

-Okay? Wait until I say go. -Yep, yep.

CASHAY: Kyra and Kyland just can't get it right.

That man's large and you're tall.

I don't know how I would do it,

but get it together down there.

KYRA: We're gonna have to do it a different way.

LEO: Come on, Alyssa, we got this. Little by little.

ALYSSA: I did gymnastics for ten years,

I did cheerleading for a few years,

so I have the balance down, I just need Leo

-to be steady. -LEO: I'll be here all day.

ALYSSA: Okay, now move to your left a little.

-LEO: Coming, coming. -Right there.

"How many studio albums does Adele have?"

Can you reach, though? If you can't reach,

-there's no point... -No, I'm not gonna be able to reach.

-KYLAND: Okay. -I don't know, five? Maybe four?

-What do you think? -Let's untangle both of them.

KYLAND: I'm gonna have you stand on my shoulders, all right?

You got-- You're gonna have to step.

-Okay, here. -I can't pull that up.

KYLAND: Keep pulling. You have to, Kyra.

-You're strong. -TYSON: Keep it up,

-Kyland and Kyra. -Come on, Kyra, you got it.

You're strong, you can do it.

-You can do it. -Okay, we're good.

-There you go. -Good job, Kyra. -Nice.

Let go. Boom.

I don't know how many times Madonna's been married.

KYRA: I feel like she gets married a lot.

-Maybe, like, four? -KYLAND: Okay, here's four.

Why are you smiling, TJ? Oh, my God.

Evil little man.

-KYLAND: You're doing great. -ALYSSA: Okay, go ahead.

(Leo grunts)

-TYSON: Yeah. -ANGELA: Collectively,

no female in this house has expressed interest

in being partnered with Leo,

but Leo is surprising me tonight.

He is holding the weight of Alyssa on his shoulders,

and so far, he hasn't collapsed, so good job, Leo.

"What's the first number in pi?" Go down.

-LEO: Three. -KYRA: Put on the-- your back.

-KYLAND: Huh? -KYRA: Put it on your back.

I can't reach, but if you can, go for it.

Ugh, this is hard to watch.

KYLAND: Kyra's been pushing yourself so hard

and she's not quitting, but her arms are starting to give out.

And it sucks because I have no way to help her

with this part of the game.

-KYRA: I'm getting down. -Good job.

KYLAND: Twelve.

-ALYSSA: I'm trying, Leo. -LEO: You want me to go higher?

-ALYSSA: A little. -Got you. Let's go. (whoops)

LEO: They think my head's not in this right now,

but little do they know, every time I'm in the Arena,

I have a game plan ready to go.

So everyone, take notes and learn,

because you might be on The Challenge one day,

and you might be looking up to Professor Leo

and seeing what he did.

-Oh, damn. -TYSON: Yeah!

-TYSON: Good push. -"How many lives is a cat said to have?"

LEO: (whoops) I know that question's meant for me, TJ!

-How many lives does a cat have? -Oh, my God.

KYLAND: Come on, Kyra, you're strong. You can do it.

-This is it right here. -Wow.

-TJ: Good job. -Boom. Next letter.

KYLAND: I got you. Go.

Thirteen.

ALYSSA: It's really heavy for me. Hold on. Go.

(shouts)

Ooh.

LEO: You okay?

ALYSSA: Yeah. Hold on.

-(grunting) -Hold on, hold on.

The medicine ball feels like, with the chain,

it's probably, like, 25 pounds.

so being on someone's shoulders

and having to basically use one hand

to full-on pull it over my head,

use my head and push it over to the wall

is way harder than you think.

KYLAND: Nice. Here's the ball.

There you go. You can do it.

ALYSSA: Leo, I can't.

DOMENICK: Alyssa looks smoked.

She cannot get this ball up.

Leo looks like he's about to pass out.

And now I'm starting to sweat,

because if Kyland and Kyra come back to this house,

I am in for it.

I'm holding you, don't worry. Grab the next question.

Let's go. Let's move.

ALYSSA: (grunts) I can't lift it up.

(gasping)

LEO: You got to dig. There you go. There you go.

KYRA: I don't think I can...

KYLAND: You can do it.

ALYSSA: Leo, I can't.

CAYLA: You got time. Just stay steady.

KYLAND: I'm holding you, don't worry. Just grab the next question.

Let's go. How many Spice Girls were there?

-Scary Spice, Sporty Spice. -KYRA: Baby Spice.

-Posh Spice. Yeah. -Did we say Scary?

-We already did four, though. -Ginger.

Giger, you're right. So five.

-Five. -Yeah.

Nice, nice, nice.

There you go.

-Nice. -(applause)

Okay, how many children does Angelina Jolie have?

Bro, I don't fucking know.

-LEO: Maybe six. -Or ten?

-ALYSSA: She has a lot. -No, I think six.

-Okay, let's do it. -LEO: Yeah, six.

KYLAND: Place it right away. Perfectly, Kyra. You got this.

-Yes, Kyra. -You got it.

KYLAND: Kyra, we are almost done.

-KYRA: Stay there. -Give it everything.

-ANGELA: There you go, Kyra. -TYSON: Keep it up, Kyra.

-KYLAND: You got it? -KYRA: Yeah.

-TYSON: There you go. There you go. -Let go. Boom.

-"How many stomachs does a cow have?" Four. We have four. -KYRA: We have four up there.

-KYLAND: So how many marriages, do you think? -We put four.

-Okay. -But you're saying that that's for cow's stomach.

Yeah, I feel like four stomachs,

so we'll try something else.

-What other number? -KYRA: Just... Six.

Oh, you think you-- they have six stomachs?

-KYRA: Maybe. -Hold on.

ALYSSA: Got it. Okay.

-LEO: Got it? -"How many senses

-do humans have?" -That's five.

-It's up there. -Are you sure it's five?

LEO: Yeah.

Smell, touch, see, hear and taste.

KYLAND: I think it's four stomachs,

but let's put this 'cause we have it.

Let's fucking go, Kyra.

-You got it. -Keep going. -Keep going, keep going.

-KYRA: Wait. -TYSON: You got it. -CASHAY: Good job, guys.

-Yeah... -ALYSSA: How many studio albums?

-She's done a lot. -Okay, I don't know Adele that much,

-so this is what... -I don't know, either.

Four or eight?

I mean, Justin Bieber has, like, six,

so Adele's gonna have way more than him.

Okay, wait, let's go eight.

-KYLAND: You got it, Kyra? Okay, let's go. -KYRA: Yeah.

-TYSON: Good job, Kyra. -(shouts)

Oh, watch out!

-Ooh! -DANNY: Watch out.

-(gasps) Yes. -KYLAND: Okay.

I say we switch them. Feels like four stomachs.

That was meant to be.

-Here, we'll try this one. -LEO: Come on, Alyssa, let's go.

-LEO: Yep, I got you go. -BEN: Let's go!

Okay. Okay, get down, go down, slow, slow.

Please, Kyra, don't slow down.

Find the number. You're a fucking boss.

You're on a billboard, Kyra, in fucking Times Square!

-KYRA: I'm gonna jump down. -All right, let's do it.

Can we check?

That's incorrect.

Okay.

-DAVID: Underneath. -SARAH: You got it, you got it.

Love you, Alyssa, good job.

-LEO: Check, check. Check. ALYSSA: Check.

-That's incorrect. -ALYSSA: which one you think it is?

-The Adele? -LEO: Has to be four.

KYLAND: Do you know any of her husbands? I don't know any of them.

-KYRA: No. -So, as far as I'm concerned...

Maybe seven. You can't go up that high.

KYLAND: There's seven.

JUSTINE: Kyra came here to prove

to herself that she could do this,

so I really want Kyra to come back.

KYLAND: Check.

-No, that is incorrect. -Okay, we'll do six stomachs.

-ALYSSA: Watch out. -TJ: Neck and neck.

-KYLAND: Perfect. Check? -TJ: That's incorrect.

Okay, then I guess we'll try the marriages.

Go, go, go.

(Leo grunting)

-Yeah, Leo. -DOMENICK: Oh!

-Come on, Alyssa. -Oh, oh!

ALYSSA: Check. Check, check.

I think it's right.

-(air horn blows) -Oh, my God! -(screaming)

LEO: Oh, my God, yes!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

-We were close. -LEO: Fuck yes!

-(whoops) Fucking love you. -That was...

-Oh, my God. -It was hard.

LEO: Just call me gladiator, this was my Colosseum.

I got 10,000 Spartans cheering me on, and my number one fan...

Alyssa. There we go, I was waiting for my part.

KYLAND: Congrats. Congrats.

-ALYSSA: I love you. -KYLAND: I love you, too. Hey, you killed it.

I'm so proud of you, Leo!

DOMENICK: Mission accomplished,

breaking up this three-headed monster

in Kyland, Tyson and Angela.

Let's see where you go from here.

Good job, guys.

DANNY: That was crazy.

That's what's up. What's up?

Elimination king, bro.

TJ: That was

one of my favorite eliminations ever.

Kyland and Kyra, I hate to see you go,

but unfortunately, you lost tonight's elimination round,

so this ends your time here on The Challenge.

-Take care. -Thank you so much.

-Thank you so much. -Love you guys.

-Oh, by the way... -Hey, all game aside,

-love all of you people. -Love you.

KYRA: Being able to prove to yourself that you can do

these insane things and make it out alive

makes you feel invincible.

Even though I didn't make it to the final,

I gave my 100%, so no regrets.

-KYRA: Love you guys. -KYLAND: Get it done, guys.

KYLAND: Dom, nice shot, you got it.

This is the coolest game in the world,

and I can't think of anything that I want more

than to come back and have my shot

to become a Challenge champion.

-JUSTINE: Love you, Kyra! -CASHAY: Love you, Kyra!

-KYRA: I love you, too! -And Kyland.

Thank you.

Against all odds,

-Leo and Alyssa, congratulations. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -You have won all of Kyra and Kyland's money,

$13,000, to split,

which qualifies you to run my final.

LEO: I'm excited. I got the money I need to run TJ's final.

When I win that $500,000,

I could take it back home and I'm gonna make sure

I take care of everyone.

And then, once I win this, I'm gonna go a little further

and then represent the U.S.A.

Let's go.

-Good job. -Thank you.

Now it's time for the Algorithm.

Your favorite part.

(whoops)

Oh, wait a minute.

-Uh-oh. -Uh-oh.

I have a better idea.

-What? -DAVID: I don't like twists.

Two people just went home, I'm closer

to the finale and I don't want to get further away from it.

TJ: I'm tired of the Algorithm, so tonight,

we're gonna switch it up a little bit.

BEN: Uh-oh.

I think this is about to get real.

CAYLA: It is like the calm

before the storm.

Everyone's just biting their nails

waiting to see what's gonna happen. I'm a little scared.

TJ: The stakes are massive.

TYSON: I am the clear favorite to win.

DESI: I just don't trust Angela or Alyssa.

She's so toxic.

DOMENICK: Make sure Desi feels like

she has a say.

-BEN: I'm gonna be number one. -TYSON: I've been waiting for this moment.

-LEO: Let's go! - * I came for it... *

If we play our cards right, we have a really clear shot

-at the final. -BEN: The pressure is on

to qualify for TJ's final.

ENZO: I'm coming after everybody. I'm causing a war.

SARAH: I've taken on bigger guys than Tyson.

They're trying to put me in last.

-JUSTINE: I love the girl, but she has to go. -ALYSSA: Stop!

ENZO: Things are heating up.

-Let's go! -BEN: Hey, guys?

-I'm scared. -(screams)

DESI: She's been the messiest, she's made the most enemies.

I'm messed up right now. I'm just gonna walk away.

LEO: I got enemies. I don't care. I'm coming for that money.

-* I came for... * -(all oohing)

ANGELA: It's not personal.

It's strictly a game move.

DOMENICK: You guys are all snakes.

ALYSSA: I don't trust anyone.

-CAYLA: No! -DANNY: No more!

SARAH: Stop acting like you got control over this.

Screw you.

CAYLA: I literally just want to punch him in the face.
