All language subtitles for The.Challenge.2022.S02E10.1080p.WEB.h264-EDITH

Previously on
The Challenge: USA...

TJ:
At the Speed Jumps challenge,

Tori and Faysal
came out victorious.

That's how it's gone, boy.

TJ: In an effort to
dismantle the Survivor alliance

and regain power for the vets...

The best thing for us right now

is to get a Survivor number
out the game.

TJ: ...they nominated
Survivors Cassidy and Chris.

Feeling the pressure
of his third nomination...

CHRIS:
I'm confused. I'm angry.

TJ: ...Chris spiraled
out of control,

turning on the women
of his own Survivor alliance.

You want to lower
Survivor numbers,

just vote for a girl because
I don't want to go in tonight.

BANANAS: I'm watching Chris
light himself on fire.

It's blood in the water and
we're in a house full of sharks.

BANANAS: This guy's ship
is going to sink very soon.

TJ: The Hopper chose Sebastian
to face off against Chris

in the elimination, ensuring
that one Survivor player

-would be sent home for good.
-(air horn blows)

Chris won his third elimination,

ending Sebastian's game

and forcing him to say goodbye

to his new crush, Tori.

Now, competitors
will have to face

one of the most daunting
challenges yet.

-(sobbing)
-TJ: Michaela, you got to go!

TJ: As the numbers dwindle,
loyalties will be tested.

I don't know
what the fuck to do.

TJ:
Alliances will be broken.

I'm crossing somebody
that I have

a really good friendship with.

TJ: And shocking moves
are the name of the game.

All right, so let's see
whose time is up.

* *

(cheering)

-Okay, Chris.
-(cheers)

DESI:
Yeah, he's a Survivor number.

But the truth of the matter
is, like, we don't know

where Chris stands
in this house.

There are days when
I wake up and I'm like,

Chris 100% has my back.

And there's another day

when I wake up
and I see him, like,

moving strange
or avoiding eye contact,

and I'm thinking, like, maybe
today he's plotting against me.

MICHAELA: There was just
too much foolishness

that went on with Survivor

and we did not come this far
for our games

to be blown up by this dude.

Chris is saying for you
to go into elimination

so that he stays safe.

And "Survivor girls"--
Who is that, though?

MICHAELA: If we're starting
fresh, let's start fresh

with honesty and transparency.

-Okay.
-Let's not lie in front
of each other's face.

I'm not lying to your face.

CHRIS: Getting through
this elimination,

it didn't help me whatsoever

because I definitely
betrayed my Survivor family.

And so coming
back into the house,

I'm going to own this one.

I'm going to take it
on the chin.

Hopefully, if they see
how I carry myself,

I can rebuild some bridges
and earn trust again.

There's six of us here now
instead of seven.

It's going to be important
to put odds in our favor.

JOSH: I don't know what it is,
but, like, being

just so close to the end
already, like,

that pressure of wanting to make

the final is creeping up on me.

Well, we both need to just
chill out about that thought

because it can get in your head.

It is so important to
finally make my first final.

It's taken me a long time,

six seasons,
to finally get to this point.

And if I know anything,
I know that going through

a Challenge final
is going to be brutal.

I'm at the point where, while
I have really good friendships,

especially with Wes,

I realize that he is
one of the strongest guys

still in the game and
is a huge threat in the final.

So, I know that at some point,
sooner or later,

I'm going
to have to turn on him.

But at this point,

we're definitely
in the strongest position

we've been in in the whole game.

Josh wants to run a final.
Never done it.

Josh wants so badly to be
a real Challenger,

kind of like Pinocchio
wanted to be a real boy.

But at the end of the day,
try as he might,

he will never be my rival.

I will never consider him
to be a threat.

Pretty crazy how it's all
worked out, but God willingly,

we all make it there, you know?

* *

Alyssa and myself
are definitely towards

the bottom of this game.

She's been getting targeted.

She's been getting nominated.

So, pretty important for me

to win this one today,
pretty important.

TJ:
All right, everyone.

Welcome to your next challenge
here in beautiful Croatia,

here at the Punta Cristo quarry.

(cheers and applause)

Today's challenge is called
Go the Distance.

It's going to be played
in two heats,

a men's heat and a woman's heat.

To begin, you're going
to start on that giant platform.

When I say go, you will
run as fast as you can

and jump out, grabbing a baton
on your way down.

Those batons have been adjusted

to your wingspan
and your height.

If you grab your baton,
you're still in the game,

but if you miss, you're out.

You're going to continue
this process

with the batons getting
further and further out,

making it more
and more difficult

till there's only one man
and woman standing.

Now, whoever
wins today's challenge

is going to be safe
from elimination,

and also be selecting two
people to send into the Arena,

put at risk of elimination.

Oh, and one more thing.

You knew this game was due
for a changeup, right?

MICHAELA: Uh-uh,
we ain't gonna top that.

-Today is a double elimination.
-(Bananas yells)

You didn't think I was
just going to do one, did you?

WES:
Double elimination.

Two people are going home
at once,

and it makes everyone
so much more frantic and scared

because there's
way less places to navigate.

So winning on a double day

is obviously more important
than ever before.

TJ: So, it is imperative
that you get this victory today.

All right, good luck, everyone.
Let's get it done.

CASSIDY: It's really easy to
keep throwing the same people in

over and over again,
and I'm not going

to allow that to happen to me.

So it is imperative
that I get the win today

because I don't want
to be targeted again.

TJ:
Alyssa, Desi, Chanelle, Cassidy
and Michele. You ready?

TYLER:
Here we go, girls, let's go!

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

Ooh.

-Oh, my God, dude.
-(laughter)

I ran, I hopped,
I missed the baton,

and game over for me.

I'm comfortable in the water,

but I don't think
I had the right strategy.

Yes!

TJ:
Ooh. (laughs)

Nice.

Oh! (laughs)

You got to watch out.

-You just fall.
-I know.

CHANELLE:
It's like I fall

just short every time.

I don't want people
to start looking at me

as an easy target for them.

ALYSSA S.:
This challenge really

just takes a lot
of hand-eye coordination,

and you really have
to believe in yourself.

I'm not afraid of heights,

so I'm just gonna focus
on that baton

and hope that I can grab it.

(TJ whooping)

Yeah!

ALYSSA S.:
I gave it my all,

but this was just a lot more
difficult than I anticipated.

Cassidy, Desi, well done.

The rest of you are out.

So, first round,
Alyssa is already eliminated.

There's going to be
a female winner

that is most likely going
to want to target her.

Now all the pressure is on me

to win this thing
and keep us safe.

(laughs)
Yeah, that's really high.

-That is not easy.
-No.

MICHAELA:
Since I know that I'm afraid

of being this high in the sky

and jumping to my death,

I want to just
get the first jump

out of the way.

Because in my mind,

if I survive the first jump,

my body already
knows how it feels,

and I should be able to do
the rest of them just fine...

in theory.

TJ: All right, Tori,
Michaela, you ready?

-(air horn blows)
-Go!

TORI:
Go.

(screaming)

Nice!

TJ: Well done.
Both of them. Moving on.

Round two for the women.

The baton has moved
much further out this time.

TORI: Looking at Michaela,
looking at Desi,

I won the last two
individual challenges.

I had both of their backs,
and obviously I want to win,

but if either one
of these women win, I feel okay.

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

All right.
Tori, Michaela, Desi, well done.

Cassidy, you're out.

(groans, laughs)

TJ:
Round three for the women.

-(Michaela laughs)
-TJ: We have Michaela, Desi,
and Tori.

-You ready?
-DESI: You got this, dude.

MICHAELA:
Now I'm very nervous

because the second jump
wasn't any easier.

I had to call on Jesus
on the way down.

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

-Let's go, girls!
-(whooping)

(cheering)

(sobbing)

-Let's go, Michaela!
-Go, Michaela!

Come on, Desi.
Well done, Desi.

CHANELLE:
Go, Michaela!

TJ:
Michaela, go.

Michaela is absolutely

mortally terrified
of this challenge.

I mean, she's up
on the platform crying.

Usually, when people
are this terrified,

the fear ends up
overcoming them.

I'm actually worried about her.

JOSH:
Go, Michaela.

TJ: Michaela, you
got to go.

(whimpering)

-Let's go, Michaela.
-Let's go, Michaela.

JOSH:
Go, Michaela!

This is when you
really have to send it.

You really have to trust
that you can grab that baton,

and it's not just going
to be as easy

as hopping off and grabbing
something right in front of you.

TJ:
Michaela, you got to go.

(screams)

(cheering)

I know that I don't
want to do this final jump.

There's nothing about me
that wants to jump

and throw myself off
this platform yet again.

Don't wait, don't wait. When
the buzzer goes, don't think.

You just go.

MICHAELA:
But this is my best shot

I've had at winning my first

challenge this whole time,

so why would I give up now?

TJ: All right,
advancing to round four,

we have Desi and Michaela,
you ready?

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

(breathing echoing)

(cheering)

BANANAS:
Michaela!

TJ:
Michaela wins!

(cheering)

-Good job, Michaela.
-Wow.

It's my first challenge win,
so I'm very excited

that I'm safe on
a double elimination day.

This is a good day to win

and I-I'm very proud of myself.

TJ: All right,
first men's heat, let's go.

I'm an adrenaline junkie,
so I'm not scared

to just jump off
of that platform.

It's a double elimination,

which means if you're nominated,

you are 100% going down
in the sand.

I need this win bad
because I need my safety.

-You ready? Go.
-(air horn blows)

(cheering)

-(cheering)
-They all got it.
-Yeah.

TJ: Everybody's got it.
I love it. Well done, boys.

All right, Wes and Chris,
you're up.

There's no way that I don't
get balls from the Hopper,

so I-I have to win.

WES:
I want to be in power.

I want to fill up my goblet

to the brim with power.

I want to chug it down

and become drunk on power.

TJ:
Wes, Chris, you ready?

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

-Did they get it?
-CHANELLE: Wes missed it?

I think Wes missed it.

-JOSH: Wes missed it?
-Wes missed it?

-JOSH: Oh, he did?
-(cheering)

WES: I'm embarrassed
by being the only guy

that didn't grab the baton.

Wesley, what the fuck?

WES: I hate losing.
I find it embarrassing.

I don't like any
single part of this at all.

TJ: I mean,
why did you even do that?

All right, round two
for the men's heat.

FAYSAL: This thing
is pretty far out there.

And I know if I'm scared
and nervous,

everybody else
is scared and nervous.

-Ready? Go.
-(air horn blows)

Oh!

Josh is out.
Everybody else is in.

Josh, what happened?

You and Wes been hanging out?

Shut up.

(laughter)

All right, Chris, you're up
for round two of the men's heat.

CHRIS: It's so awkward being
by yourself in the heat

when everyone who has
turned their back on you

is watching
and hoping that you fail.

And so for me,
this is do or die.

TJ:
All right, Chris. You ready?

-Go.
-(air horn blows)

(screams)

(cheering)

TJ: All right.
This is round three

of the men's heat. You ready?

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

(cheering)

Oh!

Bananas and Faysal are in.

Everyone else is out.

This is round four
of the men's heat.

Bananas versus Faysal.

This is best-case scenario
because

Chris did not win.

We make a deal right now.

You want to do it right now?
All right.

You don't say me,
I don't say you.

Yeah, I'm not going to say
Bananas' name. We made a deal.

Bananas isn't going
to say my name.

TJ:
Ready?

-(air horn blows)
-Go.

(cheering)

It all comes down
to this, Bananas.

(grunts)

-Good job, Faysal!.
-Good job, Faysal.

I put everything I can
into my final jump.

I feel like I get
a pretty good dismount,

but just a couple inches short.

TJ:
Faysal, that's two wins

in a row, baby. Nice work.

I got my second
individual win in a row.

It couldn't come
at a better time.

The path of least resistance

says to throw in Chris again,
but I got to go

back to the house,
pick Michaela's brain.

I'm just glad I'm safe
during this double elimination.

Great challenge today, everyone.
Well done.

Faysal, Michaela,
absolutely incredible.

Great job to both of you.

You are the only two
that are safe from elimination.

Now, I need you both
to head back to the house

and select two players,

one man and one woman,

who will be playing
in the Arena.

MICHELE:
This is a double elimination.

I hope that by having Michaela
in the nomination

that's a Survivor on our side.

But I don't know
what her intention is

for this portion of the game.

All right. Good luck, everyone.
Get out of here.

-(whoops)
-(chuckles)

DESI:
What you thinking?

Doesn't make sense to put up

Alyssa S. or Cassidy,

because Alyssa S.
or Cassidy goes home.

-DESI: Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

That means next week
one of them gets nominated.

-And who's going in?
-We are.

MICHAELA: So I'd rather just
cut out the middle.

Are y'all comfortable
voting Tori?

I mean...

DESI:
That is tough.

DESI: Michaela thinks that
it'd be great to pitch Tori.

We have this allyship with her.

In the likelihood of
people winning, I would put

our money on us to keep
ourselves safe would be good.

DESI:
If you put Tori up as main nom,

it only makes sense that
the other ladies in the house

are going to choose me
or Chanelle to go against Tori.

They're not going to want
to go in against her.

So, this is definitely a moment

where I feel like
Michaela is showing

just how selfish she's willing
to be in this game.

I think this is a time
where folks need to swing big

because these people are not
trying to help us make money.

* *

All right.

MICHAELA:
I really want to get a feel for

what does Fessy think?
What is he willing to do?

And I can take that information

for whatever future votes exist

between here and the final.

-How does it feel?
-It's the furthest
I've made it in any game.

So, I'm curious
the thought process

of voting at this point.

When you vote somebody in,

-you don't want them
to come back, right?
-Mm-hmm.

Because less blood
on your hands.

-Yeah.
-As far as guys go,

Cory and Josh,
you know, I'm not...

-I don't really want
to say those names.
-Yeah.

So, Tyler.
I kind of just started

looking out for him

just 'cause, like, I knew

he was the only
Big Brother guy left.

Chris, I like the guy, man,

but it's just-- he kind of
pissed everybody off.

And then it's like,
I also did vote him in.

So it's like,
if I don't vote him in,

it's gonna have to go super big.

And then
it's just shooting ourselves

-in the foot, potentially.
-Mm-hmm.

What about for the girls?

For the girls,

I feel like it's between

Tori, Cassidy and Alyssa.

MICHAELA:
So here's my question.

We have another
girls' elimination.

If I don't win,

do you think there's a shot
of me catching votes?

If we look out for people

that we know are probably
going to win the next one,

-someone like Tori,
we scratch their back.
-Yeah.

-It's only right...
-Yeah. They'll scratch ours.

We could try to shoot and
get these big targets out now,

but that's just going to put us
in a bad position next week,

because if we don't win,

we're going to be
the direct target.

I'm not going
to stick my neck out

for Alyssa S. again
and say she's off the table

because I did it last week,
and I'm like, for what?

-Yeah.
-She's the first out.

But Cassidy's kind of on
the outs with everybody and...

I feel like the
house will vote Cassidy

very easily, so she's
going to go in either way.

Let's put ourselves in a good
position to run the final.

That's... that's where
my mindset's at.

MICHAELA:
Fessy's right.

There's several
eliminations left to go.

If we do other people
who are likely to win a solid,

they'll likely do us a solid.

Because that's the best way
to keep my own self safe:

force the house to make
the tough decisions

and keep our hands clean
at this point in the game.

-(laughs)
-(inhales) * Ooh! *

AYLSSA S:
I feel emotionally exhausted.

I am physically exhausted,

and at this point, I'm just...

I'm pissed off.

-TYLER: Alyssa?
-ALYSSA S.: Yeah.

I know you need time.

But you can
take down anybody, okay?

ALYSSA:
(laughs) Okay. Thank you.

It's not a death sentence.

There's power in knowing

that you're for sure
going in there.

-You know what I mean?
-ALYSSA S.: There is, there is.

You have time
to mentally prepare

and not be shocked.

ALYSSA S.: Before
I came on The Challenge,

I put all my stuff
in a storage unit,

and I don't really have
a home right now.

So, if I win The Challenge,
I will hopefully find

a safe place to land,
start establishing my life,

and I'm also starting
an animal rescue,

so I'm going to put
a lot of my time,

energy and money into making
that animal rescue flourish.

Do you want me to tell people
to stay out of this room

for the next 20 minutes?

-ALYSSA S.: Yes, please.
-Okay. It's officially locked.

ALYSSA S.: All right.
I'll talk to you soon.

-Yeah.
-Where are you?

I'm in the confessional.

Your ball's in the hop--
Your ball's picked.

I had a feeling
but I'm... you know.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine, guys.

(laughs)

Chris had his back against
the wall this whole game,

and I know that he is fighting

for his beautiful family
that he loves so much,

and I feel really,
really bad for him.

All right, Margot.
All right, Kate.

Dad's going in again.

It's hard to feel like the only
one fighting your battle,

and this game is separate
from real life,

but what you bring into the game

are your true
and honest emotions.

(exhales)
It's okay, it's okay.

I'm thinking about my...

dream of playing
college basketball

getting shut down,
being in the college football

locker room as a walk-on,
going through every drill,

putting in every hour of time,
and it not being enough.

Thinking about Survivor,
getting voted out,

getting blindsided.

Thinking back on this is just

why I go so hard
at everything that I do and

and why I'm so competitive,
because I feel like

I've always had
something to prove.

I deserve to be in the room
with, with the best of the best.

I'm not going home.

I'm coming back.

I always come back.

I wanted to talk to both of you.
Like, who would you want?

Because if anybody can...

try to do that, it's us.

CHRIS:
I'm willing to go down there

against the people
that the majority

of the house is most afraid
of running a final against.

Really what I'm talking
about is Johnny and Wes.

I mean, true best-case scenario
on the guys' side is...

I go against Wes tonight.

-I beat him.
-JOSH: You want to?

Yeah. I don't care.

I have been feeling
the impenetrable

wall of the vet alliance
across the board.

They do not vote for each other,

and the only way for me
to break that wall up

is to target Wes.

I'm just as scared running a
final against Wes as y'all are.

I think the reality is
that's everybody's concern.

Everybody's too scared
to voice it.

I know that targeting Wes

is the best move for my game

because I know
that he's the biggest threat.

Some of my strongest ties
are definitely with Johnny.

So I'm gonna try my best

to protect him,
but it is such a struggle.

I'm hurting somebody
that I've truly grown

to love as a brother
in this game and it sucks.

I mean, just being honest.

Like, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna vote for Tori tonight.

Um...

Obviously, that's not
the way that I'm going.

-Yeah.
-No matter who you go against...

-you're coming back.
-You're coming back.

MICHELE:
Hundred percent.

* *

(indistinct chatter)

I talked to my friend
for two seconds

on the phone and she goes,
"Don't fall in love.

Don't, don't do it."
But then there's you.

But then there's you.

And I like you.
I like everything about you.

In this house you're, like,
crucified for having emotion.

You're seen as a weak person.
I'm already seen

as a weak player because I'm not

as physically strong
as all these other women.

And whenever I feel like my back

is against a wall
and I'm missing home,

I'm missing my people,
Tyler shows up for me

in, like,
the most beautiful way.

He's helping me get grounded,

get my head right
and get my head in the game.

Okay, one more, just one more.

-(alarm buzzing)
-Is that...?

Oh, it's time to vote, y'all.

DESI:
It's time for y'all to vote.

This place is a madhouse.

This is a double elimination.

One woman and one man
are going home.

Job number one is to make sure
Alyssa gets the right person

to go against-- somebody
I feel that she can beat.

Job number two,
find somebody else

to get those Hopper votes.

That might be a bigger threat
than me in this game.

First one.

We're gonna go Cass.

Now, for the guys...

going a little rogue.

We're going Bananas.

Tyler, love you, buddy.

I'm not trying to turn on
my Survivor girls this vote.

Hopefully
they didn't turn on me,

but you never know in this game.

Michaela, Desi and Chanelle
have a strong female alliance.

They're always going to have
each other's backs over mine.

Sending Tyler off.
I'm sorry, my guy.

TORI: Even though
she's my Survivor bae.

I'm sorry, Cassidy.
Please forgive me.

I am struggling right now.

I feel really bad.

(exhales)

I don't know
what the fuck to do.

It's so hard for me
to decide who I'm gonna pick.

But in this very moment,
I just go with my gut,

and my gut is telling me,
you don't beat Wes in the end.

I don't beat the guy in the end.

And I feel so bad

because I know that I'm crossing

somebody that I have
a really good friendship with.

You're up.

* *

Oh, my God.

TJ: All right, everyone, welcome
to your next elimination.

(whooping)

Well done, Faysal and Michaela,

what a challenge to win.
By winning,

you were the only two
safe from elimination.

Then you had to send

one woman and one man

into the Arena to compete

for their life in the game.

You picked Chris

and Alyssa. Come on out.

All right,
let's check out the board.

Men, you're up first.

Wes.

Three votes.

WES:
I've gotten three balls,

and I know where
two of them have come from,

but I don't know
where the third has come from.

There's someone
that has been lying to me.

JOSH: I think Wes
is still trying to connect

the dots on who targeted him.

I don't think
he realizes it was me, but

something within my conscience
and my heart does not feel right

that I basically blindsided him.

TJ:
Tyler?

Seven votes.

Bananas.

Two votes.

-Shocker.
-TJ: All right, let's see

how the votes landed
for the women.

Tori... two votes.

Michelle.

One vote.

And Cassidy.

Nine votes.

CASSIDY:
I'm heated.

My own allies turned on me,
my Survivor alliance.

And it's because they formed

a strong girls' alliance
without me,

because they consider me weak.

TJ:
Cassidy, a lot of people

want to see you play tonight.

So let's see what
the Hopper has to say.

All right, so let's see
whose time is up.

* *

All right, so let's see
whose time is up.

Wes.

-And Cassidy, come on down.
-Yep.

-Sorry, Cass.
-Yeah, I'm sure.

All of my alliance members
voted for me tonight, so

obviously I'm pretty
pissed off right now,

and I'm ready to come back
in this game

and pay them back for that.

I betrayed a friend, but we're
at a point in the game where

it is me or her, and...

this game makes you
do bad things.

All right, tonight
you're playing Ripped Off.

To begin, you're both

gonna start by hanging
from this giant tower.

One of you is gonna be
wearing a suit

with ten patches on it.

The other person is
gonna be the chaser.

They're gonna have
to chase the person

with the suit on trying
to rip as many patches

off their suit as they can
within five minutes.

The person with the suit's job
is to prevent them

from doing that
by any means necessary.

Then you'll switch places.

And each heat is gonna be
two rounds.

They're gonna
be five minutes long.

So whoever gets the most patches

in five minutes will win
tonight's elimination round,

stay in the game.

Loser goes home empty-handed,
got it?

Cassidy, Alyssa,
you're up first.

Good luck.

There's a lot of anger
boiling in my blood right now.

And I'm gonna use that
as fuel to kick

some ass and-and fight my
way out of the Arena tonight.

ALYSSA S.: Well, I would just
like to take a second to thank

the Challenge gods
for not making it a Hall Brawl.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm gonna channel
that inner fighter

and bring it out tonight.

TJ: All right, Cassidy,
Alyssa, you ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

/(shouting, clamoring)

Stay on her. I'm seeing
patches fly left and right.

Alyssa's got
that reach advantage.

Alyssa has that endurance.

Pretty much my only ally
is Alyssa,

and I am pulling for her 100%.

But I am sweating.

ALYSSA S.:
Okay. (muttering)

TYLER: Keep going,
keep pulling, keep pulling!

-Good job, girls, good job.
-Keep pulling. Keep going!

All right, go the other way.
Go the other way.

There you go, go, go!

-Keep holding! Keep holding!
-TYLER: Keep holding her.

CASSIDY: She has
this reach on me, but

I am scrappy as hell,

and I will literally put my body

in danger to come out on top.

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

MICHAELA: Alyssa is
kicking and moving and...

she's got a shot at this.

-Time.
-(air horn blows)

MICHAELA:
Good job!

Good job!

MICHAELA: Way to fight,
ladies. Good job.

CASSIDY:
She didn't get all my patches.

That gives me hope,
but, like, I am feeling

the effects and the fatigue
of such an intense first round

that I'm a little bit worried.

TJ: All right, Alyssa,
Cassidy, you ready?

Go!

Alyssa, don't let
her go with that bar.

Don't lose control of it.

Now, Cassidy is the chaser, and

if Alyssa is smart,

she will leverage her long arms

and her long legs
to keep Cassidy as far

away from her as possible.

WES:
Use your hands. Use your hands.

You got reach on her.

You got reach on her.
There you go.

Just keep her like that.

Lock her, grab onto her wrist.

Lock her up,
grab onto her wrist.

If I let go of her right now,
I'm dead in the water.

I have to hold on
with everything I have.

I am playing for $250,000 and

I will fight my way to
that final, whatever it takes.

CHANELLE: Way to fight,
way to fight, ladies!

WES:
Good job, good work!

TORI:
Alyssa's a runner

and Cassidy is a chaser,
and honestly,

Alyssa's doing great again.

And I think that Alyssa
might be able

-to pull this one off.
-CHRIS: Use those arms.

Push her out.

(grunts)

-Time.
-(air horn blows)

Cassidy removed nine patches.

So, Cassidy, you're the winner.

-Good fight.
-Good job.

TYLER:
Great job.

I am undefeated
in the Arena thus far.

Yes, it feels amazing,
but at the same time,

even people
I thought I could trust

threw a ball on me,

so I'm pissed, and I have
to go back to the house

with all of these traitors
and live with them

and try to make it to the end

with everybody on my back.

I think my best hope is just
to win the next challenge.

That's really the only hope,
I think, at this point.

WES: The likelihood
of this being

the last season
of The Challenge

that I ever play is high.

We're also
so close to the final.

I'm just fighting
for my expecting wife,

and hopefully,
this win is gonna be for her.

CHRIS:
Whatever obstacles
in front of me,

I'm gonna figure out
a way to overcome it.

And tonight, my obstacle is Wes.

I'm gonna figure out
a way to beat him.

I'm pretty evasive,
so I'm definitely gonna use that

to my advantage.

JOSH:
Good luck, boys.

-Let's go, boys.
-You guys got this.

TJ: All right,
ready, boys?

-(air horn blows)
-Go!

TYLER:
There you go.

Good job.

Other way! Other way, Wes!
Other way!

Wes is the chaser.

And he's my number one guy
in the game.

It is absolutely crucial,

uh, for the two of us
to remain in this game,

because without Wes,

I'm gonna be naked and afraid.

TORI:
There you go! Get him!
Go, Wes, go!

Get him, Wes,
you're there! Get him!

Oh, it's a fight.

TORI:
It's a fight!

CORY: It's a fight!
We got physical now.

TORI: You got it, Wes,
good job. Good job, let's go!

-DESI: There you go, Wes.
-Good fight.

TORI:
Damn.

Chris going for the beard.

BANANAS: There you go.
Turn him around, Wes.

Turn him around!

-JOSH: There it is!
-TORI: You got it, Wes,
good job.

TORI:
Keep fighting.

Keep fighting, keep fighting!

BANANAS: Get around
on his back!

Good job.

TORI: Good job! Get your--
Good job, Wes, good job.

There you go.

JOSH:
With the huge move that I made

and the risk
that I took in targeting Wes,

I'm just hoping
that Chris is able

to pull that win
and take Wes out,

because it's a huge benefit
to all the guys

that want to run a final
and win.

-TYLER: There you go.
Good reach.
-One more, one more.

(air horn blows)

JOSH:
Good job, guys.

Wes, you got
all of them but one.

WES:
I feel great about this.

The likelihood that he can get

nine or more patches off
than me is low.

I'm in just a really good spot.

CHRIS:
Now I'm the chaser.

My forearms are shot.

I can't even close my hands,

but my adrenaline
is pumping right now.

I have to get

all of Wes's patches

or else I'm going home.

-Ready? Go.
-(air horn blows)

BANANAS:
Go, Wes! Run, go...

TYLER:
Got to keep it moving!

-There you go.
-Keep it moving, Wes.

WES:
I am being far more evasive
than Chris was.

It feels like I've got the hang

of how to kind of
run away from him the best.

Even as he gets close,
I use the air to my advantage

and I kind of fly off.

I just feel in such control.

TYLER:
Great job. Keep going.

Keep going. Yeah!

He looks like Peter Pan
in a Broadway show,

just flying around this tower,
looking at the fans,

I'm like,
"Wes, head in the game."

TYLER:
Stop.

There you go. Keep moving.

Go! Go, Wes, go!

BANANAS:
There you go,
he's coming back around...

TORI:
Kick him! Kick him!

Kick him! Kick, Wes, kick!

-Kick, Wes, Kick!
-CORY: Like a Venus flytrap,

he just grabs onto Wes,

and all you see
are the patches flying.

TORI:
Let's go, Wes!

Good job, boys.

You got to get out.

I'm literally watching patches

rain to the ground.

I-It's like Wes
is getting a haircut.

CHANELLE:
Good job, Chris.

Good job, Chris!

We done?

-(air horn blows)
-JOSH: Oh, my God.

TJ: Chris removed
all ten of Wes's patches.

That means Chris wins
this elimination.

-Good job, Wes. Good job, Chris.
-(cheering, applause)

CHRIS:
This is a big win for me.

I needed to go in against Wes,

I needed the Hopper

to pick his ball,
I needed to beat him.

I'm really proud of myself
on this one.

Great elimination tonight,
all of you.

But Alyssa, Wes, unfortunately,

you lost tonight's
elimination round,

so this ends your time here
on The Challenge: USA.

-Take care.
-Yeah.

-Love you.
-(applause)

-ALYSSA S.: I still love you.
-CASSIDY: I love you so much.

Ooh, trying not to get
emotional, but that was, like,

definitely really out
of my comfort zone, for sure.

You did your thing.

Tyler, I'm gonna miss you
so much. Like, I...

can't even describe
what it's like

to have a person in this game

that will actually
show up for you,

and I've never had that before,

um, especially in Big Brother.

So being here and playing
with the Tyler Crispen

has been the most amazing part
of my experience.

And I hope you kick ass
and I hope you win this shit.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm just super proud of Alyssa.

Like, coming into this game,
she didn't really exactly know

what she was getting into,

but she conquered her fear.

And she was a great partner,
she was a great ally.

She's a great person
just to have around,

so gonna miss her 100%.

And, uh, I already got
those digits, so...

stay tuned. (laughs)

-Hell of a season, buddy.
-WES: Damn.

It's really tough to sit here
and watch Josh tell me

that he is the third ball,
and he's breaking down

and he's hugging and crying.

Yeah.

Is Josh going to see
any repercussions

for a Challenger turning
on another Challenger?

Like, violation
of rule number one?

BANANAS:
While we did come together

and create this vet alliance,

the relationship
between Josh and Wes

was probably the one
that was on the shakiest ground.

I would be very hard-pressed
to think

that, uh, Josh would make
that move on me.

I just want to say, like,
um, I'm...

I'm not coming back,
and it's been a privilege.

TJ:
You are an icon of this game,
you're a staple,

and you are more than welcome
back anytime.

We really, really hope
that you reconsider someday.

But, uh,
nothing but love until then.

Congratulations. Take care, man.

To everyone making this,
playing with y'all,

like...

I'm gonna miss it all.

-TORI: We love you, Wes.
-So, goodbye.

-You're a legend.
-Thank you.

-We'll miss you, too, Wes.
-Bye.

-TORI: You're a legend, Wes.
-Bye, Wes.

TORI:
Keep your head up.

(applause)

We love you, buddy.

Bye, Weston.

WES:
I've played this game
for close to 18 years,

and this whole, like, world

is just a really large part
of my life.

Am I proud of the legacy
that I've left?

Yeah, I'm proud of,
I'm proud of all that.

TJ:
Well...

they set him up,
you knocked him down, Chris.

I mean, you even sent him
into retirement.

TJ:
Well done.

Cassidy, really had
some fight in you.

She had a lot of reach on you,
you still hung in there.

You never gave up.

Yeah, it's-it's bittersweet
for me

because the reason I'm here
is 'cause they consider me weak.

There's a strong girls' alliance
who threw me in,

and the truth is that there
are girls there in that alliance

who haven't even been down
in this sand once.

And I've come into the sand,
come out twice on top.

So if they consider me weak,

I think they should, uh,
take a look at that perception.

TJ:
Nice.

Any of them
you want to call out?

They know who they are.

I-I'm happy that she's calling
out the-the strong girl alliance

because I'm pretty sure
that I'm not in that bunch.

So, you go off, Cass,
have your moment, be mad,

but just don't look at me.

TJ:
Go ahead and rejoin the group.

(applause)

CHANELLE: Cassidy is coming
back into this house

and we are going
to feel her full wrath

of sending her down
into an elimination again.

But Cassidy, if you come for me,

I'll show you exactly
why you're a layup.

TJ:
Next on The Challenge: USA...

There's only 12 players

remaining in the game.

Somebody is gonna die.

TJ:
With the final within reach,
players will go

to drastic measures to succeed.

Now's the time to take a shot.

TJ:
And those
who are feeling the heat...

CASSIDY:
No one actually has my back.

...are ready to set
the house on fire.

If not today, tomorrow.
