TJ: Previously
on The Challenge: USA...

MAN:
Come on!

TJ:
As the remaining players

battled as individuals,

the core members
of the Secret Garden

kept their alliance strong...

MICHAELA:
I think swing big

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

...while The Challenge
veterans did the same.

Michele played both sides,

keeping Survivors
and veterans close...

...leaving the rest
of the players on the outs.

I'm not going home.
I'm coming back.

TJ:
At the Go the Distance
challenge,

Michaela secured her first
challenge win after conquering

her fear of heights.

No more heights!

BANANAS:
And she took the advice

of second-time winner Faysal

and nominated Cassidy and Chris

into a double elimination.

I go against Wes tonight.

TJ:
Chris wanted to swing big
in the competition...

I don't know what to do.

...and pulled off
a shocking upset,

eliminating a Challenge
legend from the game.

-So, goodbye.
-You're a legend.

-Thank you.
-TJ: Survivor
and lone wolf Cassidy

also dominated again
in the ring,

sending a Big Brother player
home and putting a pause

on Tyler and Alyssa's
ongoing romance.

ALYSSA S.:
I'm gonna miss you.

TJ:
And now,
with 12 players remaining,

the competition gets physical.

With less players in the game,

tough choices will need
to be made

and friendships will be tested.

Who will risk their loyalties

for a shot
at the $500,000 prize?

* *

MICHAELA:
Good job, Cassidy and Chris.

Come here.

Whoo, whoo.

Now that Wes is
out of the picture,

I feel like
my biggest targets are

Tyler 'cause I feel like
he's always gonna vote for me

'cause we have an anti-alliance.

And Fess.

Fess has nominated me
two separate times.

Those two need to go.
I'm just ready to take 'em out.

It's me versus the world
right now.

Stealing the show, man.
Stealing the show.

CASSIDY: My closest ally
in this game is myself.

You have to win this game
for yourself.

Chanelle, Michaela, Desi
won't have my back.

Tori nominated me
and Michele has relationships

that stem beyond
just this season.

In the end, only one man

and one woman are gonna win
the money anyway,

so you have to do it

on your own at some point.

And how you feeling, Ty?

-Lucky. But sad.
-TORI: Yeah.

TYLER:
Just lost Alyssa in this game

and now I'm completely alone
and isolated.

But I do have my right-hand man
still in the game.

I do have Faysal.

He's kept me safe before,
so I'm ready

to kick off that underdog story

that's been brewing up
this whole time.

(laughs)

TORI:
Yeah, the widowers.

Mm-hmm.

CORY: I feel like that final's
coming up real soon.

In a perfect world, I want
a crew that nobody saw coming.

I want strong girls
in the final.

I want Desi, I want Michaela,

I want Chanelle, I want Tori.

So I'm trying to build
my own crew

while the vets still think
I'm rocking with them.

That way I could cover my back
from all sides.

(video call ringing)

GIRL:
Hey.

-There's Daddy.
-There's my daddy.

CORY:
Hi, mama.

TAYLOR: Say, "Daddy, I army-
crawled across the whole room."

What?

-Aw... Hi, Maya.
-Hey, Daddy.

TAYLOR: Come here, come here.
He wants to see you.

It's hard being away
from my kids, honestly.

I'm trying not to get emotional,
but it's real, man.

Has it been rough?

It's tough.
Oh, my God.

We are with the wolves.

-Like, it's...
-TAYLOR: Yeah.

Say, "You got it, Daddy.
You got it."

I came here for one reason--

to win and to bring
that money home to my family.

We're gonna put it on a house

and we're gonna all celebrate.

Mwah. I love you, babe.

I love you, too.
Hang in there.

* *

CHANELLE: Obviously,
Survivor has been targeted

the last few eliminations.

I don't really trust Cassidy
that much,

and I don't really trust
Chris that much.

But guess what.

We've been able to continue
to win daily challenges,

and I just hope

that we're all going to make it
to the end together.

All right, everyone,

welcome to your next challenge
here on The Challenge: USA.

Today is going to be sick.

For centuries,
oil wrestling has been

part of the culture here
on the Mediterranean coast,

which is exactly why
we are bringing it to you.

Today's challenge is called
Slippery Business.

To begin, you're all gonna be
doused in oil

and then put into a ring
for combat.

-(air horn blows)
-When I say go,

you will do whatever it takes
to get all of your opponents

out of the ring.
If you touch anywhere

outside of the ring, you're out.

-Whoo-ee!
-(air horn blows)

The last man and woman
standing in their round

will win today's challenge,
be safe from elimination,

and also be selecting
two players,

one man and one woman,

to put at risk of elimination
in the Arena.

-Got it?
-ALL: Got it.

All right. Good luck.

* *

(women whooping)

TJ:
Get it done.

-Let's go, boys.
-All right.

(women howl)

-TORI: All right.
-CHANELLE: Italian Stallions.

CORY:
I used to wrestle
in the eighth grade.

I'm ready to wrestle
some of these dudes

and show 'em what's up.

We want to get Chris out first.

We voted him in twice.

I don't feel bad for one second.

Sorry, Chris, but you got to go.

This is gonna be fun.

I'm really trying to stay
out of trouble as best I can.

Between Cory, Fessy and Josh,
there's a lot of, uh,

muscle there.

I'm just gonna try to maneuver

as best I can out there,
not try to make any big moves,

and hopefully
use some of these guys'

big muscles against them.

Oil it up.

TYLER: This challenge
is about slipperiness,

and I've been slipping
and sliding my way through

this entire game.

So I'm just gonna play defense

and play slippery
and try to hide.

MICHELE:
All right, Bananas!

This is the best part
of The Challenge for me so far.

-I can't handle this.
-(laughs)

All right, fellas. You ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

TORI:
Let's go, boys!

-Okay.
-Oh, poor Chris, man.

TYLER:
So right off the bat,

Chris is getting
absolutely jumped

and absolutely mauled
by all those dudes.

This is great news because...

they're not jumping on me.

(girls whooping)

This is not a wrestling match.

I am getting jumped right now.

Y'all are massive
and you got to gang up on me?

TORI:
Yeah, Cory!

D-I-R-T-Y.

* *

It is hand-on-hand combat.

We are wrestling.

And any part of your body
goes out of the ring,

you are out.

Listen, we know the game plan.

We got to get Chris

out of here,

and then may the best man win.

We want to see it.

CASSIDY:
It's hard to watch the guys

ganging up on Chris, and...

I feel his pain at this point.

Chris was kind of a dead man

walking in this challenge,

as well as myself,
but it is still hard to watch.

MICHAELA:
Oh, why are they
ganging up on Chris?

They're not even
fighting the other ones.

They're just standing there.

(man growls)

I kind of feel bad

that Chris is getting jumped.

The men are playing this match

the way that they've been
playing the Hopper.

I don't know.
That's pretty cowardly to me.

-(air horn blows)
-Okay, you're out.

-Good job, Chris.
-Good job, Chris.

-Great job, Chris.
-Good job, Chris.

Getting eliminated on this
challenge is infuriating.

TJ:
Let's go.

CHRIS:
I feel like anyone who wins...

I already automatically have
a target on my back.

-Someone take Tyler.
-Go ahead, Bananas.

Let's go, Bananas.
You put him in.

-Get after.
-Go ahead.

-There we go.
-Yeah, let's go.

Let's go.

BANANAS: Myself, Fessy,
Cory and Josh have

the same mindset.

By any means necessary,

make sure that Chris
and Tyler do not win.

Who wants this more?

BANANAS:
Tyler's a lot more squirrelly

than I thought he was gonna be.

-(grunting)
-Good job, good job.

-(air horn blows)
-TJ: Both out.

-Hey!
-Whoa!

TORI:
Good play, boys.

I'm trusting that if Fessy, Cory

or Josh win, I'll be safe.

Grab his foot and throw it out.

DESI:
Fessy has basically
touched no one

his entire time in the ring.

He's just sort of negotiating
these one-on-one matches

between everybody else.

I don't know who made Fessy
the boss of this

or why all of the guys
are going along with it,

but somehow they are.

* *

(air horn blows)

TJ:
All right, Josh is out.

TORI:
All right.

Good job, Cory.
Good job, Fess.

-Good job, guys.
-Good job, Josh.

Way to fight, guys.

All right, let's go.
This is it.

It all comes down to this.

It's me against Fessy.

I need to win this one.

-Go.
-(air horn blows)

DESI: Cory is clearly
a little bit gassed

because he's been fighting
this entire time

while Fessy's just been
standing by.

I think most people expect
Fessy to be

the clear and easy winner
of this challenge.

FAYSAL: Now that it's down
to me and Cory,

this is definitely
in my wheelhouse.

I'm looking to get my third
individual challenge win

in a row.

Come on, boys!

-TORI: All right.
-Hell yeah, boys.

Yeah, Cory!

Way to fight.

Yeah!

FAYSAL:
Cory is my boy, but...

I've played football
my whole life.

This is what I do.

(air horn blows)

-Yeah!
-TJ: Cory wins.

(cheering)

CORY:
I don't care how big you are.

I got the win. Let's go.

Grabbing an individual win is
big at this point in the game.

I'm gonna protect Bananas,
protect Josh and Fessy,

and everyone else has got to go.

TJ:
Good luck. Get it done.

* Bow, bow. *

Yeah.

MICHAELA: I am excited
about today's challenge.

This is gonna be a physical one.

There's five
Survivor girls plus Tori.

Oil up.

And I'm expecting her to
be out of the ring first.

CHANELLE:
I have a lot of strength on me.

A lot of muscle on me.

I kind of want to take out
Cassidy

'cause she tried
to call me out yesterday.

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.

I might put the paws
on her first.

* *

All right, ready?

-Go.
-(air horn blows)

CORY:
They're ganging on Tori.

I quickly realized
I am five on one.

All right, let's do it.

Who wants this smoke?

Push 'em to the edge.

Five versus one, Tori.

(groaning)

(air horn blows)

Good job, Tor.

TORI: If it was one-on-one
matches, I mean, come on.

We all know that I would have
beaten everybody here.

Oh, oh, oh, Chaney
with the sneak attack.

CASSIDY:
I am holding my own
against Chanelle.

I used to do jiujitsu.

I do boxing,
kickboxing, Muay Thai,

so I think people expected

the girls to just pick me up
and carry me out,

but I'm like, "Hell no,
you are not doing that to me."

(whooping)

Whoa!

JOSH:
The women are tough.

They start attacking
each other like hyenas.

I'd rather fight the guys

ten rounds
than go against the girls.

They are scrapping right now
and going at it,

and it's kind of scary.

My respect to all of them.

They're putting up
a really good fight.

Stay low. Stay low.

I give Michele her props

'cause she's willing
to take on everybody,

but she has no follow-through.

(groans)

And the moment
she puts her hand on me,

it's time for her to go
to the losers' bench.

(indistinct shouting)

(air horn blows)

-JOSH: Way to fight, Michele.
-CORY: Way to go, Michele.

Way to go, ladies.
Good fight.

I look over at Cassidy.

She's not working
with my alliance,

so I'm like, screw it.

We might as well wrestle.

CHRIS:
Just wrestle, let's go.

JOSH:
Good job. Stay low.

Good job, Michaela.

-Ooh.
-Yeah!

MICHAELA:
I consider myself one
of the more physical women here.

Just because I conduct myself
in a professional manner

doesn't mean I won't
get dirty in this game.

-JOSH: Michaela with the sneak.
-CORY: I see you, Michaela.

-(air horn blows)
-TJ: Desi, you're out.

Cassidy, you're out.
You're out.

Oh!

-All right. Let's go!
-JOSH: Here we go!

The heavyweight champ.

TJ:
Michaela versus Chanelle.

Ding, ding, ding!

I do not recognize the Michaela
standing in front of me.

I can see fire in her eyes.

She is one of my
closest allies in this game,

but I need a win
for my confidence,

and I have a lot
of brute strength.

I outweigh every girl
in this house,

and so I do like my chances.

(men cheering)

CORY:
Get her to the edge.

(all exclaiming)

(whooping)

Wow!

MICHAELA:
We are in an alliance
with each other,

but I need safety
just as much as she does,

so let's go.

-TORI: Good job.
-MICHELE: Good fight, guys,
good job.

(shouting)

(screaming)

Did these girls just come
out of, like, a WrestleMania?

Because, like, where
are these moves coming from?

We see, like, the scorpion

and, like, the clam-chop,

and I'm like,
"What is going on?"

(all shouting)

It's an epic battle.

TYLER:
Don't stop, don't stop.

-Don't stop. Keep going.
-Don't stop.

Keep going, keep going,
keep going.

Keep going, keep going.

-Right there. Keep going.
-(indistinct shouting)

TORI:
Right there. Go.

-Get her, get her!
-Don't look. Don't look.

Right there. Go.
Push, push!

(overlapping shouting)

(air horn blows)

Hey!

Two in a row and I'm safe.

This is the perfect opportunity
for me to make a big move.

Way to go, ladies!

CORY:
Good job, ladies.

* *

Great challenge today, everyone.

Two people in particular
absolutely killed it today.

That was Michaela and Cory.

You are the only two
safe from elimination.

Now I need you to go back
to the house

and nominate two players,

one man and one woman,
to put at risk of elimination.

All right?
Get out of here, everyone.

CORY:
This is a big moment because

now you got to make a decision.

So I'm sitting back,
looking at all the guys

like, should I swing big?

Should I swing small?

'Cause if you swing
and you miss,

you're gonna feel
the repercussions.

* *

* *

(indistinct chatter)

-(laughter)
-(whooping)

MICHAELA:
Two in a row.

I'm playing this game
to prove to myself

that I really am a champion.

-(high-pitched): Okay.
-Ninja Michele.

I'm here to get to that final

and I actually want
a shot at winning,

which means some of these people
who have seen the final before

need to go.

CORY:
Josh finally got that mud pit

-he's been asking for.
-I know, man.

Michaela and Cory
are in power right now.

I definitely trust Cory.

Michaela is somebody

that we're building that trust.

I looked out for her

the first two individual wins
that I had.

I'm hoping she'll look out
for me

on her two individual wins,

and we can just call it even.

I'm like...

Last time Michaela won,

Michaela just gets a little bit

of an idea in her head
that maybe she puts up Tori.

-Am I comfortable what?
-Voting Tori.

CHANELLE: Like, when I think
about Michaela's Survivor game,

she's just so used
to having to play

a very proactive game.

Whereas in The Challenge,

I think it's maybe better
sometimes to do less,

like protect your allies,

protect yourself,
and get to the end.

Come on in, sister.

-Hey.
-How you feeling, champ?

-Good.
-CHANELLE: What you,
what you gonna do?

MICHAELA:
Feel like now's the time
to take a shot.

If we put Tori up today,

somebody goes against her.

Reasonable chance
of beating her.

She's not unbeatable.

If we don't do it,

we play stupid today
like we did last time,

then, next week,
what happens if Tori wins?

So, why not secure ourselves
by making this the girls' day?

-So what are y'all's thoughts?
-I understand your, like,

willingness to lean in to risk
because you're not on the block.

MICHAELA:
Their position is,

if Tori is nominated,

they feel like they would catch

the lion's share of the votes.

Which is true.

The flip side of that is,

if we don't nominate Tori,
no one else will.

Do you take the bullet now

or do you take the bullet later?

I respect whatever
decision you make.

Um, I do think it puts
the two of us more at risk.

When Tori won
the individual challenges,

she protected us
for two votes in a row.

So we now have

this allyship with her.

That's one.
Two, Tori is tough.

She can be intimidating.

So there's a part of your mind
that's, like,

maybe we shouldn't
make it a girls' day.

CORY:
All right, Michaela,
I'm following your lead.

You've been here
more than I have.

MICHAELA:
Going into the nominations,

I'm gonna plan to take
the same approach

as I took with Fessy,

and hopefully we can come

to a win-win solution
for the both of us.

So let's just cut to it.

What do you think
on the girls' side?

My mind is thinking about,

the final has to be
right around the corner.

-Mm-hmm.
-This is a time to take a risk.

So I would like today to be
a girls' day.

I think swing big.
Go Tori on the girls' side,

And force the girls
to vote each other.

Mm...

MICHAELA:
What's your hesitation?

I don't want to go Tori.

-Why?
-Because I don't think
she would go me.

I want to protect the people
that would protect me.

MICHAELA:
Tori and Michele,

those are two people
that are off the board

for pretty much
every man who wins.

So as we continue to
dwindle numbers in the house,

if they don't go in,

me or one of the two people
I work closest with

get increasing likelihood

that we will get put
against each other

in a final elimination.

And that is what
I'm trying to avoid here.

What is your ideal endgame here?

I want Cassidy's name up there.

For what purpose?
What does that do for you?

'Cause she knows that I voted
for her last time.

What value is that to anyone?

I mean, that's value to me.

I'm going with the people

that I feel
the least connected to.

The people that I feel
would come for me

if they had the opportunity.

So you're not thinking

in terms of girls' day,
guys' day.

You're not thinking in terms
of genuine probability.

I mean, for you to sit there

and try to downplay
how I'm thinking, I'm not...

I'm not. I'm asking you
a simple question

to understand
what's in your mind.

I don't know
what you actually want.

I told you directly what I want.

-Okay, what do you want?
-I want Cassidy.

Cory, I don't think
you're listening

-to what I'm saying.
-Why are you acting
so irritated?

-I am, I am kind of irritated.
-How are you irritated?

We just started to talk.

You're irritated
'cause I didn't agree with you?

No, it's not
'cause you don't agree.

It's 'cause I'm not-- I-I...

CORY:
Tori's off the table because

she's one of my numbers
in this game.

And then on top of that,
she has a high likelihood

of winning one of these
individual challenges.

And she could directly
throw me into nomination.

I don't want that smoke.

What balls are you open to
on the girls' side?

(sputtering)

Cassidy or Michele.

-We're making progress,
but still...
-Making progress.

...maybe put Tori
next to Michele.

MICHAELA:
No, 'cause you're not open
to Tori,

so I'm not gonna fool myself.

I think it's safer for me
to just make a dumb move.

We'll do Tyler and Cassidy.

I know Tyler wants
to work with you.

MICHAELA: Tyler has had five,
at least four times

-to work with me and he has not.
-Okay.

-So...
-Fair enough, I didn't know.

How about I pick Tyler, and you,

you pick one of the girls?

That's a...

That's a fair trade.

MICHAELA:
Being this close to the final,

people don't get
the logic of nominating

one of the strongest women
in the house,

and that's frustrating to me.

But I picked Tyler
because I know that

Chris wants to get him out.

And I want Chris on my side

'cause I definitely
am gonna need

some more numbers in this house

than the couple that I have.

TYLER:
Surprise, surprise.

I'm the smallest guy
in this house.

They underestimate me.

They have been
this whole season, so, yeah.

I'm up there nominated
with Cassidy, of course.

Damn, Chris, you are a Survivor,
my friend.

Survived the nom.

I'm grateful that it's Tyler
and not me.

I'm really crossing my fingers,

that everyone wants
to make it a girls' night.

As hard as Cassidy's fought,
maybe her time has come.

JOSH:
How you feeling?

CASSIDY:
I fully expected this.

They want to make an easy move.

They don't want to take
any big shots 'cause

they're scared,
I guess, or whatever.

But I've been down there before,
and I'll prove it again.

MICHELE:
What happened?

So... that's that.

TORI:
Knowing that Michaela

threw my name out
in deliberation hurts.

We had an agreement.

I won the first two
daily challenges.

I looked out for them.

It's like, what are you
trying to do here?

-Yeah.
-Mm-hmm, yeah.

We have all the guys
on our side.

Yeah.

BANANAS: The house is half
the size that it used to be.

Regardless of what happens
from here on out,

I could not be happier to be

in a house with
a bigger bunch of dickheads.

-(laughing, clamoring)
-To all of you!

(cheering)

TYLER: Right now my back's
against the wall in this game,

but I know we've been stuck
with each other for a long time.

So if y'all got to get
some tension out of the way,

I will sit back and watch
all these fools be fools.

(laughter)

I am just trying to find ways

to let some of this,
this tension, this anxiety,

this constant low state

of fear out.

BANANAS:
Do it, do it.

Get 'em, Cass!

(shouting, clamoring)

CASSIDY: We just needed a little
bit of action in our lives,

I think.

It's all fun and games.
I don't care.

Listen, give the girl
a break because

she's been going through it.

She has not had
the easiest path in this game.

So if she needs to let
off some steam kissing me,

then have at it, girl.

-(screams)
-(laughter)

JOSH:
You know Chris is going to

try to pull a whole bunch
of strings.

Me, you, Johnny,
Tori, and Michele--

that's a solid five stack
on Chris.

Getting Chris out is one
of the best moves

for my game
because he is a huge threat.

You know,
I feel bad getting people

to vote for him, but

I know that down the line
it's gonna benefit me.

But I think to the guys...

You're an existential threat
at this point

to our alliance, Chris,
so, nothing personal,

but all of our balls are going
directly on your head.

So enjoy.

You already did the damage
of putting me up.

The least that I can ask
for you to do is

to not force it
to be a girls' day,

not pitch it to be a girls' day.

I'm gonna pitch it
to be a girls' day

because guess what, Cassidy.

There are so many people
in this house

who are protected,

and y-you don't fall
in that bucket.

Unfortunately, I don't fall
in that bucket either.

But when I saw the writing
on the wall based on who was

getting votes
when either Desi or myself

was nominated,
I did things to pull us together

because we were the bottom.

Michaela gets some,
like, pleasure

out of kicking a dog
while they're down.

If you're gonna pitch
a girls' day, fine,

but don't come to me and rub it

in my face that
you're gonna do that to me.

You're attacking somebody
who, like, you could have a,

-such a good chance
of beating in a final.
-I'm not attacking you.

That's only because you guys
are playing scared.

You guys don't want
to take shots.

And if that bites you
in the ass at the end...

-It could. It could.
-If fucking Tori goes
and wins, then you know what?

She deserves it 'cause
nobody took a shot at her.

I get it, Michaela,
you don't need to sit here

and act like I'm a child,
trying to make me look stupid.

All I'm trying to say,
Cassidy...

-Your tactics are...
-It's not tactics.

It's a,
it's a logical conversation.

Your conversation style
is very...

-interesting to me.
-It's not about
conversation style.

You play this game
with pure logic.

You have no emotion
in it whatsoever,

which kind of freaks me out.

And it, like...

-Y'all, I'm tired.
-Yeah, that's what I thought.

Cassidy said a lot of things
about me in this game.

I have no emotions,
I'm too calculated.

I'm this, I'm that,
I'm the third.

At the end of the day,
she's just upset

with her own self and she needs
somebody to take it out on

in this moment,
and she's choosing me.

She's made her bed in this game

and I'm not gonna lie in it
with her.

MICHAELA:
Have you heard anything today?

Well, I know we haven't seen
eye to eye

this entire time, but

I-I still want to push
for a girls' day

as much as possible.

And I think, you know,
of course, a girls' day

benefits me
because I'm safe today,

but I think it benefits you.

You know, the next one
will be a guys' day

if this is a girl,
and you'll know this will be

a solid for me
and I can repay it in any way.

Heading into the secret vote,
if someone tells me

to vote one direction,
I'm gonna vote it,

especially if they're going
to help me take out

someone like Fess or Tyler.

Like, if I vote a girl,
I just need those, like,

reassurances that Tyler is the
main nomination on the next one.

Yeah, I think that's possible.

MICHELE:
Okay.

It's nice

that the three girls--

Michaela, Chanelle, and Desi--

pull me into a room to hatch
this plan with me because

maybe it means I have a sort of
layer of trust with them.

Damned if you...
Right.

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

CHANELLE: Listen, as long
as we're all on the same page...

-I'm solid. I ain't changing.
-Same.

We're locked in.

Myself, Chanelle,

Chris and Michele
are all putting

their votes on Tori.

That's four votes.

Although we know
it's not a majority,

it is enough votes
in the Hopper that...

the probability isn't bad.

(laughs)

(alarm sounding)

Wow.

Game on.

CORY:
We got a light going on.

Well, they wanted to make it
a girls' day, but "F" that.

Sorry, Chris, I'm riding
the wave this time.

Everyone did it to me.

It benefits me
to make it a guys' day.

It just gets me closer
to the final, so...

Grandmother used to always say,

"If you try something once
and it doesn't work,

don't ever try it again."

Or did she say,

"If at first you don't succeed,
try again"?

I forget.

I am really hoping this doesn't
come back to bite me.

So, good luck, Tori.

I'm so sorry.

It's like I want
to put a girl because

I want the girl situation
to just be done, but...

It's weird.

Everybody's known that I've been
playing the middle

this entire game, and I knew
that there was gonna be

a point that I had to choose

the vet side
or the Survivor side,

and that time has come.

What's the point
of being done with it

if it's not done properly?

I'm not sure
what I'm gonna do right now.

Heading into the elimination,
I feel in the clear.

I'm fully convinced
that it's gonna be a girls' day.

I'm ready to read these votes.

I think it's gonna come down
to Tori

going up against Cassidy today.

MICHAELA:
I'm safe today, but still

I would like it
to be a girls' day.

At the end of the day, I don't
want to see Tori in the final.

So I'm hoping the plan gets
executed the way we intended.

All right, everyone,
welcome back to the Arena

-of The Challenge: USA.
-(cheering)

As you know,
this season two people,

one man and one woman,
are going home

with $250,000 each.

(cheering)

Cory, Michaela, well done.

Solid effort at the challenge.

As the winners,
you chose Tyler and Cassidy

to put at risk of elimination.

-Come on out.
-(cheering, whooping)

The rest of you, you had to go
place names into the Hopper,

so let's see what the votes are.

Tori.

Three votes.

DESI: Where's the fourth vote
for Tori?

And I realized that,

in true Michele form,

she didn't vote for Tori.

Surprise, surprise.

I am deeply hurt by Michele's
betrayal in this moment.

TJ:
Chanelle.

One vote.

And Chris.

Six votes.

Again, Chris.

Let's see
what the Hopper has to say.

I thought the chances of me
going in were gonna be 50-50,

but the guys were
probably drooling

to make it a guys' day,
so I'm really

just hoping that the Hopper
comes through for me once again.

CASSIDY: I've found this inner
strength and courage,

so I'm holding on
to that for dear life.

And if I have to go in
tonight, I'm ready to go.

Cassidy?

You...

All right. Cassidy?

You...

are off the hook.

Yes.

I am selfishly relieved

that it's not me going in again,

but I do feel guilty
and shitty about throwing

Chris in there again.

TJ:
Can't catch a break, huh?

Not this season, Teej.

MICHAELA:
This is not what I wanted, but

since I nominated Tyler,
not Chris,

if Chris comes back,
what I hope is that

I get lower on Chris's hit list
and higher on his save list.

TJ:
Chris, come on down.

MICHELE:
I'm feeling

really guilty
that I betrayed Chris, Desi,

and Chanelle,
but what does it benefit me

to throw Tori
in against Cassidy?

And then I'm running
a final with Tori,

Desi, Chanelle, and Michaela.

Keeping Cassidy is
in my best interest.

I want some girls in the final
that I could potentially beat.

All right, fellas.

Tonight you are playing
Barrel Tag.

It's just a good old
fashioned game of tag.

(laughing):
Oh, my God.

You're each gonna start
by standing

on one of those barrels.

When I say go, you're gonna
use the next barrel.

Place it forward
in front of you,

jump onto that one.
One of you is gonna be it,

which is gonna try and tag
the other person.

The other person is gonna be
trying to run away

from them the entire time

by just moving the barrels
over and over again.

But if you fall
off the barrel, you lose.

There are several obstacles
that you can use

however you see fit.

Once you tag the person, then
you're gonna switch places.

This is a timed event.

Whoever tags their opponent
the fastest

will win tonight's
elimination round

and stay in the game.

Loser goes home. Got it?

-Good luck.
-CASSIDY: Good luck.

CHRIS:
I wanted to start

taking down
the Big Brother alliance,

and this is my opportunity.

I'm gonna break them.

I've never wanted to win any
more in my life than tonight.

TYLER: It took me a while
to get my footing in this game

and then the ground was ice
and it was uphill.

Chris is pretty locked in, but
I'm feeling pretty confident.

Tyler, you're it.
Chris, you're running away.

Ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

JOSH:
Let's go, boys. Get it done.

TYLER: My strategy is just
to keep Chris guessing

as to which direction
I'm going and throw him off.

CHRIS: My strategy is
to beeline it to the other

barrels and start
throwing them at Tyler.

If there's any challenge
that's catered

to Tyler's strengths,
it's this one.

This is agility.
Tyler is nimble.

This isn't strength.

-BANANAS: Okay!
-Good job, Ty.

-TORI: Good job, Tyler.
-JOSH: Good job!

I am hoping
that Tyler comes back.

Obviously, with
our Big Brother connection,

I know he's gonna have my back.

Chris is somebody that we wanted
to put down there.

And for my own personal gain,

I hope that he goes home today.

Oh, he can block him?

CHRIS: I am giving it
everything that I have

to throw these barrels around.

Chris trying to ball him up
a little bit.

Uh-oh, he's getting close!

But he got to me pretty quick.

MICHAELA:
Jump!

(air horn blows)

(cheering)

JOSH:
Good job, Ty. Good job, Chris.

MICHELE:
Wow.

TYLER:
I tagged him quick.

I feel like my time is
gonna be tough to beat.

All I have to do,
maintain my composure

and hope this next round
goes my way.

TJ:
This time, Chris, you're it.

Tyler, you're running away.
Got it?

CHRIS:
I'm frustrated
at my performance.

I have to get to him

-as fast as possible.
-Go!
-(air horn blows)

-Good luck, boys.
-Go, boys!
-Here we go!

Here we go!

(Chris groans)

* *

CASSIDY:
Good work, Chris. Good job.

MICHELE:
Good job, guys.

DESI:
Nice job, guys.

MICHELE:
Good job, guys.

Tyler's moving quick.
I'm impressed.

I'm feeling like
he's really doing a great job

of keeping away from Chris.

Damn, Tyler, move that butt.

Holy shit.

-(groans)
-TJ: Chris is throwing it.
-Good job, Chris.

-Good job, boys.
-Chris is doing it.

Chris is going fast.

(groans)

No longer is it Barrel Tag.
This is Barrel Sprint.

This elimination
is my $250,000 elimination.

This is do-or-die,

and I'm not going home.

CHANELLE:
Got to move faster.

BANANAS:
Shorter gaps, Tyler.

(Chris groaning)

TYLER:
All of a sudden,

I hear something rumbling my way

like a freaking bulldozer.

-(groaning)
-Chris definitely has

a fire under him right now.
But at the same time,

I'm locked in, too.

(groans)

Ruh-roh. Big ruh-roh.

-(groaning)
-Go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

(Chris groans)

Get him, Chris!

-Go!
-Whoo!

-Oh.
-Run!

Get him!

(air horn blows)

-Oh!
-(whooping)

-Good job, Chris.
-Good job, guys.

-Damn.
-Good job, man.

Good job, man.

Chris and I
both just showed out,

and we both just showed
why we made it this far.

I don't know
how the times are gonna end up.

I tagged him super quick, so...

I feel like I deserve it.

I have no idea who won that one.

That was good. Very, very good.

DESI:
This elimination was,

I think,
the fastest one we've seen

this entire game.

Was pretty neck and neck.

Tight, tight race tonight,
fellas.

Everybody really gave it
their all,

and the times were close.

Chris, your time

was one minute and 20 seconds

to tag Tyler.

And, Tyler,

your time,

it was one...

...52.

(sighs)

MICHELE:
Nice job, boys.

Way to battle it out.

Whew.

Well, Tyler, you lost
tonight's elimination round,

so this ends your time here
on The Challenge.

However, you are one of
the most chill dudes I ever met.

-(chuckles)
-I really hope

that we see you in the future,
man.

-Thank you, man.
-All right.

Take care of yourself.

(cheering)

Hell of a season.

-I love you guys. Go get it!
-We love you, buddy.

TYLER:
I'm just really proud of myself.

I got really close
to that final,

but this was
the experience of a lifetime.

So I'm just forever grateful
and thankful to everybody.

TJ:
Chris,

you are still in the game.

Great job, brother. Go ahead

-and rejoin the group.
-Good job, Chris!

Good job, buddy.

A lot of emotions.

A lot of emotions.

It's just so hard

to fight alone for this long,

but I'm still here.

I'm still fighting, so...
(sniffles)

They're gonna have to kill me.

BANANAS:
Chris is battle-tested
at this point.

He's definitely a threat
in this game.

While it's been nice
to watch him

just continue
to eliminate people,

I think we're all looking
at each other like,

"All right, well, now
who's gonna eliminate this guy?"

He's definitely
everyone's number one target.

We are danger close to my final.

So if I was you,
I would do whatever it took

to get ready to win.

* *

Get out of here.
I'll see you soon.

TJ:
Next on The Challenge: USA,

in the most difficult challenge
yet,

Chris is on a mission
for revenge.

CHRIS: I'm not a loser. Every
move I make from here on out,

it's a $250,000 move.

TJ: But as we get closer
to the final,

-will past lies and betrayals...
-Who voted for me?

...come back to haunt
the Challengers?

I'm a fucking mess.
That's a fact.

-But I'm not a villain.
-The first thing we agree on

in this conversation.
You are a mess.

I'm a mess,
but I'm not a villain.
