Previously onThe Challenge 40:

Battle of the Eras...

Choose Bananas over me.

Go somewhere
with that fake bullshit.

- I'm not being fake with you.
- Don't take me
as a fucking idiot.

Josh can be friends
with everyone,

but he can't be allies
with everyone.

Michele, I heard you were
getting mad at Josh

- for cheering for me.
- If he's cheering
for you,

he's cheering against me.

I'm allowed to cheer
for both of my friends.

If he wants to be friends
with somebody who hits

below the belt consistently,
he can.

That's his choice.

Michele, Olivia, you ready?

I didn't perform,

and now I'm up against
my best friend.

Go!

Good job.

- Good job. Good.
- Go, ladies!

Sorry.

Check.

That is correct.

I literally lost
my right-hand person here.

Michele, now I need you
to select

three men to be our new targets,

except for Jordan, since he won.

The only person
who's actually done me dirty

and deserves the target band
is Bananas.

Michele, whatever is going on
between the two of you,

I just hope that he's not
using you for game.

She knows
she can't win in the game.

She's not cut out physically
for this game.

Every strategic move
she's made this season sucks.

Josh, I nominate him
as a target.

The other one, unfortunately,

Cory is gonna get
my other target band.

All right, we have our targets.

We're one step closer
to that final.

Spinning over this water,
and I'm just reminiscing

on all the shit
that I've been through.

You know,
my girlfriend dumped me.

I've had to go against
my best friends

in the house back-to-back.

And to think that,
over there, that buoy

could be my ticket to the final,
and it's not looking like

I'll be able to get there.

I went over there
with a sprained wrist

and couldn't even
put up a fight.

I definitely gave it my all,

and I feel like I just keep
coming up short.

Yes, queen!

Oh, my God.

Thanks, thanks.

I just basically sent
my sanity home.

I don't even know what this game
is gonna be like without Olivia.

She's been my crutch
this entire season,

and I'm gonna have to pivot.

I have been gravitating a lot
towards Cara and Derek,

and naturally, because of Devin,
I'm also close with Tori,

so I'm grateful
that we're all in this together.

- Was it something we said?
- We have the disease.
- Damn.

It's not contagious.

You're not gonna catch target

if you stay by--
if you stand by us.

I like to push people's buttons.

I've been doing it
since I was a kid.

I've had a lot of practice
doing it.

I can prevent people
from crossing me

by making their lives

so miserable
that once it happens

that they just don't want
to deal with that.

So, I set Olivia
and Michele on fire.

Do I have seven championships?
I do.

I know what I'm doing.

Now that Olivia
is out of the game,

as long as Cara Maria,
Michele or Tori

do not win the next challenge,

I'm chilling.

- Oh, shit. Oh...
- You can't catch target.

My immediate response
was like, "Celebrate,"

and then I was like,

- "The immediate downfall..."
- Yeah.

But still, you should celebrate.

- Yeah.
- Because you fucking did it.

- Yeah.
- And you're killing it.

- And you got to be
so fucking proud of yourself.
- Yeah.

- And it's not like...
- It's just, I'm sending

- my friends home.
- But you know what?

You still have other friends
in your corner.

- Yeah.
- So you're shining.

I'm not a priority for...
other than you two.

I can just feel that final.

I just feel like
I deserve to be there.

I can just feel me
competing in there,

and I need to show these guys
that I am a threat.

So if I can just
pull out a win this close

to the final, like,
that's gonna be everything.

You bust your ass

- so you don't come in last.
- Yes.

We'll handle all the other shit.

Well, this is the new threesome.

It's my turn next.

You gave Michele

an easy way out.
I'm disappointed in you, Josh.

My brother, they were

- going to do that anyways.
- Okay.

The last thing that I'm gonna do

is do exactly what
every other guy was doing,

- which was begging her.
- No, you didn't.
No, you don't have to beg her.

Just don't have a conversation
and just rely

on your guys' friendship
and let her say it,

because you gave her
an easy way out.

I wanted to take control
of the situation.

It's like, "I know
you're gonna target me anyways."

In the past, I've played it
so safe and so scared,

always trying to find a way out,
and I'm not there anymore.

Josh is a target,

and he could have made it
a little tougher for Michele.

Now two of my allies
are targets,

and at this point in the game,
I can't afford to lose

either of them.

Don't come in fucking last,
and that's it.

What's after The Duel II?

- Uh, The Ruins.
- Mm-hmm.

I lost the last challenge.

I have a disadvantage,
and now I'm a target.

So the pressure is on,
I have to perform.

The only person
I truly have is Cara.

Michele went from being
my number one

to being somebody that,
if I get an opportunity,

I got to fire that shot
right back,

so Tory can slide right
into that number-two position.

But if I don't get it done,
none of this matters.

- Final Reckoning,
War of the Worlds 1.
- Mm-hmm.

- War of the Worlds 2.
- Yep.

Total Madness, Double Agents,
Spies, Lies,

Ride or Die,
Battle for a New Champ, 40.

- Dude, I'm proud of you.
- Give me some of that.

- Dude, I'm fucking proud of you.
- Give me some of that.

Give me some of that.

If you were to get
your first one on season 40...

- I know.
- ...that would be wild.

Mm-hmm.

I think we are both playing very
similar games on opposite ends.

Yeah, me, too.

We didn't plan this, but...

- Yeah.
- ...damn, it worked out.

Dare I say that this is us?

Rachel and I have been playing

this game differently,

but, like, still really well.

Now, her and I
have had our differences,

but ultimately, girls
are not playing with girls.

The guys are saving the girls.

And right now,
Rachel and I are being protected

from opposite sides.

Who are we protecting?

- Right here is my Jordan.
- Uh-huh.

Right here is your Bananas.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- We've got your Josh.

- We've got my Josh.
- Yeah.

Derek, Kyland,

- Cory.
- Cory's a shared one.

If he's shared,
let's give him the horsey.

In the individual challenges,

I've always placed
high up in the group,

but I haven't taken
that first place.

So not only do I need
to secure my position

as one of the top women
in this game,

but I need to save
Bananas And Josh.

Cory is working with Tori,

but I think that Cory and I

do have a place to move forward

in this game working together.

I would like, God willing,

for us to go to this final
together and settle it there.

- I love that for us.
- Yeah.

Yes, it's
a guys' elimination today,

but it is so important for me
to get a win,

not only for my own safety,
but I would really like

to help Cory out if I can.

So I'm gonna act like
I'm a target today, too,

and I'm gonna do my best.

All right, everyone,

welcome to your next challenge

for this season of Challenge 40:
Battle of the Eras.

Now, you see that we are on this
big, massive highway, right?

- Yeah!
- Well, that can only mean
one thing.

We are going to be using
these badass machines today.

Let's go!

Go, baby!

Today's challenge is called
'Nother Trucker.

'Nother Trucker!

See what I did there?

To begin, you are gonna be

on the that giant arm

hanging off the side
of this massive truck.

Then, when I say go...

...that thing is gonna
get up to speed.

55 miles an hour.

You will then
have to use precision

and power to hit
as many targets as you can.

Whoever has the most targets hit
will win today's challenge.

And if you're a man,
that is very important,

especially if you're a target,
'cause any man that loses today

is going into the Arena.

And if you're a woman
and you lose today,

you will be getting penalized
at the next challenge.

Which reminds me, Cory,

you have a penalty
this challenge.

Your penalty is one target.

- Got it, got it.
- All right,

- good luck, everyone.
- Yeah!

Winning this week
is very important,

because if I win, I secure

myself safe from being
a target next week,

so it's time to become
a human wrecking ball.

To be fair, I'm already
pretty much like that anyway,

so now I'm just gonna
be on a string.

All right, Cara, Tori,
you ready?

TORI and CARA MARIA:
Yeah.

Go!

Let's go!

Oh, fuck!

Fuck.

What the fuck was that?

- Wow.
- At the start,

we are not even close.

I'm embarrassed.

Like, I can't even believe
I call myself a Challenger.

This is pathetic.

No, they can't reach.

- She can't reach.
- They're nowhere near it.

I'm expecting Tori
and Cara Maria to do well.

However, they're not
hitting these targets.

Tori and I are two
completely different sizes.

If Tori's having
a difficult time,

what's it gonna be like for me?

Good job, Cara.

Let's go, girls!

Oh, Tori got one.

- Tori got one.
- Tori got one
right there.

Can't even see Tori jumping.

Another one.

Every now and then,
I look over at Tori

and it doesn't seem
like she's making a jump.

And if she's not making jumps,

she's not getting hits.

I already know I'm ahead here.

Yeah!

Good job.

That was hard.

Tori's a badass.

So, the fact that me and her

didn't get a super high
number of targets means

maybe the other girls won't,
either.

Right now, I'm in the lead.

Now I just have to wait
for everybody else.

I don't want to be known

as the best ever to not win.

I want to win this
more than anything else.

Even though I'm a target,

I'm liking my chances.

But I can't skip
any of these targets

because I'm already
down one target.

So at this point, my mind is
strictly focused in on winning.

I got to go big.
Let's get it done.

All right, Cory,
Bananas, you ready?

Go.

All right, Cory,
Bananas, you ready?

Go.

Yeah, buddy!

Very important to either win
or to not come in last today.

If I don't go into the sand
and any other guy does,

either Rachel, Jenny or Aviv,

they will then be put up
as targets.

This is not 100%
beneficial to them.

You know, we're both
making sacrifices here.

In a good relationship,
you must sacrifice.

You're also supposed to do
something called communicate.

And be attentive,
whatever that means.

Whoo!

Fuck!

Cory got that one.

- Cory got that one. Wow.
- That was a hard one.

Cory and Bananas got that one.

Cory and Bananas are
making it look like a cakewalk.

They are hitting targets
left and right.

There's smoke
blowing everywhere.

So, if I can just

copy what Johnny is doing,

then I should be able to take
this one home for the girls.

Johnny got it.

Johnny's good at this shit.

Cory got it.

It looks cool when they smash.

Cory got that one, too.

Bananas and Cory,
these guys have it down pat.

But Cory has
a one-target penalty.

He's at a disadvantage,

so I'm hoping that
he doesn't pull through.

I need to get
in that top of the pack

because I cannot get last today.

Got it!

Cory smashed.

Johnny got that one.

Bananas, smashing
through targets.

Cory, smashing
through targets, but...

you can kind of tell
in the distance

there's less blue
than there is red smoke.

Johnny got that one.

I kind of knew on my turn

that if you miss one,
that's gonna be huge,

but if you miss two,
you're not gonna win.

I was already down one,

and then I missed the first
target, and then two more.

So, now it's about
something different.

I cannot get last place.

Watching Michele
do anything that involves

acrobatic type stuff,
not necessarily her strong suit.

Whoo!

I like just swinging.

So, between Jenny,
Aviv and Rachel,

I've got a pretty good shot

at having one of them
coming out on top.

- All right, Jenny,
Michele, you ready?
- It's fun.

Go.

Whoa. Way too high.

- Nope, not even close.
- Neither did Jenny.

- Oh, God.
- She might just be
mistiming it.

There is the pressure on
to do really, really well.

Like, I want to be
in a position of power.

I want to be able
to save Bananas

if he doesn't
bring this one home.

There's a blue.

I'm noticing

the targets on the inside
seem to be

easier than the targets
on the outside,

so I'm focusing
on the inside targets.

Just doing my fucking best.

- Got it. Both of them got it.
- Michele got it.

Yeah.

Yeah, we got one!

I am really
frustrated at this point.

The turnaround's tough.

I'm the one losing.
I'm the one coming in last.

I'm the one getting into
the Arena

because I'm a target.

I know I hit a few.

I know Jenny hit
a few more than me.

She's not jumping hard enough.

No, I want to do more!

- What'd you get?
- Maybe four.

- Yeah, I got three.
- Well done.

I feel like I'm probably
gonna find myself

in one of the bottom slots
once again.

I couldn't reach
any of the ones on the outside.

We got some.

It's extremely important
for me to pull out the win

because I am a target.
It's just simple.

Hit as many targets as I can.

I don't care
about anything else.

Josh and Jordan, you ready?

Go.

♪ I'm on a whole nother level ♪

♪ I'm on a whole nother level ♪

- Did Josh miss it?
- Yeah.

Jordan got it.

- ♪ You know who I am? ♪
- ♪ What? ♪

Nice. He's a beast.

Oh!

They both got it.

Go, Jordan, go!

Jordan, he's a literal animal.

This guy, I honestly think

he's the Michael Jordan
of The Challenge.

Like, he's so good
at just random shit.

Jordan got it again.

I'm just forever
impressed by him.

Jordan is demolishing it!

Jordan does not seem to be
missing any of these targets,

which sucks because
he is probably

my biggest competition
for a final.

Oh!

I haven't had the success
that I've wanted.

I haven't made a final.

I have everything to prove.

But not to you guys,
all you trolls on the Internet.

I need to prove to myself

that I'm capable
of winning this game.

But right now,
I need to lock in

because Jordan's in the zone.

I need to make sure
that I survive today.

- Jordan got that one.
- Nice.

Let's go!

♪ I got it like this. ♪

Jordan's always been like
the thorn in my side.

We're pretty evenly matched
when it comes to

the acrobatic-style challenges.

So, I'm just praying
he misses one.

Boom.

I think
he hit every fucking one.

I was on it, bro!

Looks like I will not
be winning today.

- Good job.
- 100.

This one is really important,

so I'm gonna get
my angel wings on tonight.

We've got Jenny, Rachel
and myself.

One of us needs to win
so that we can save Bananas.

All right, Aviv and Rachel,
you ready?

- Hell yeah.
- Go.

Shit!

Did Aviv get it? No?

Aah! Just missed it.

I love a challenge like today.

It is exactly in my wheelhouse

because I can swing
from target to target.

She has got jumps, though.

Is that four?

TJ, give me more of this
because I would much rather

swing from a rope
than run 15 laps on a field,

even though I don't
mind that, either.

Go, Rach.

Got it.

Look, I've got two little kids.

The last thing I'm doing
on my weekends

is grabbing a semi and trying

to hit targets while I'm on

a moving truck.

I'm pretty sure
that I'm in last place.

I may have to accept my destiny

and take this penalty.

Fuck.

All right!

It's gonna come down to
if Aviv can get any more.

There it is.

Rachel killed that.

I am very happy
with my performance,

and I pretty much know
I've secured the win.

Whoo!

But, unfortunately, I think
Aviv is in last place.

It is not ideal for the Angels.

You killed it, girl.
Good for you.

Guess who's the winner!

Now that we're getting
close to the end,

I'm losing my allies
left and right.

Like, I literally don't have

that many people
having my back anymore.

So, it's really important
for me to win,

so that way, I'm safe
from elimination no matter what.

Jordan hit all of his targets,

so I know I'm trying
to get a perfect score.

It's like, why come and do
anything less than try to win?

Trying to make a sudden
death happen. Let's do it.

All right, Derek, Kyland,
you ready?

- Yeah!
- Yes, sir.

Go.

Good luck, Kyland.

Let's go!

Fuck yes!

You got it.

- He got it!
- He got it.

- Did Kylan get it?
- Did Kyland get it?

- I don't know.
- No, Kyland missed it.

Whoo!

- They both got it. Yeah.
- Both got 'em. Let's go, boys.

Oh, he got the outside one, too.

Oh, wow.

Yes!

Damn, they're crushing it.

Hell yeah!

Oh, he got it, too.

- Nailed it!
- Whoo! Go, Derek, go!

That's my bitch.

Oh, damn, we're all
rooting for Derek.

People want to underestimate him

'cause he's not walking around
pumping heavy iron

and strutting around the house
like he's the shit.

♪ Drop... ♪

People want to be like,
ah, he's not that good.

No, he is.

I think he's 100% right now.

- No way!
- He is.

Derek is absolutely dominating

because I only have six.

That's it. It's done.

I just didn't
pull through today.

And now I need to put myself in
a state that I'm

most likely gonna be
down in the sand.

He is 100% right now.

- Oh, he's living!
- I think he got it.

Yes!

When I tell you,

like, this is meant for me,
this was meant for me.

Wow.

I'm just imagining, like,
I'm on top of this semitruck,

and we're driving
by a drag brunch.

And I just see
all these drag queens,

and I'm just, like, ooh,
snatch a weave.

Got it!

And then it's just, like,
oh, ooh, snatch a weave.

- Oh, he's got it!
- Yep.

- Okay, Derek.
- Wow!

Who knew we could add acrobatics
to Derek's résumé?

Derek has solidified himself
as the dark horse for the guys.

He has been on fire.

Great social game.

And he is good
at just about everything.

Wow. Derek killed that.

Yes! I hit 'em all.

100!

Hell yeah!

Oh, that was fun!

All right, so far,

the competition is fierce.

However, we have two

that are absolute killers
at this game.

And that is Jordan and Derek.

Now we have a sudden death.

One more round
for all the marbles.

- Let's go!
- Let's go.

All right, boys.

Derek, you ready?

Jordan, you ready?

Got to go out there and...

Go!

I'm winning!

I know Jordan's gonna try
because he wants this win.

Beating him
when he's trying his best

would be like...
like icing on the cake.

But lo and behold, this truck
is going so much faster.

It's so hard
to get your footing.

I'm, like, kind of worried
that I'm not gonna have it down.

- Bragging rights! Let's go!
- Oh, they're going faster.

I cannot wait for this
sudden death round with Derek.

The trucks are going
even faster.

The targets are set up
a little bit different.

But it's the same amount of fun.

One, two, three, jump.

- Good job, boys.
- Whoo!

One, two, three.

One, two.

Yeah!

Yeah.

- Derek's 100 right now.
- Wow.

Oh!

Oh!

Derek got it.

- Big red.
- Yeah!

Come on, Jordan, miss it!

Whoo!

- Big red!
- Oh, shit!

All it takes is one miss.

Jordan missed it.

No!

Derek's got it.

You.

Derek absolutely killed
this challenge.

He is fast and very smart.

I don't understand
why anyone would look at him

and not think
he's a threat in challenges.

But he's probably a threat
in the final as well.

Hey!

Great challenge today,
everyone. Well done.

Now, our losing woman.

Aviv,

unfortunately,
you couldn't get it done today.

Now the losing male today.

Josh,
you lost today's challenge.

I'll be seeing you in the Arena.

I know that my path
to this final

is gonna be
going through the Arena.

And I think that the only
right way to truly earn my place

is to earn it in the sand.

Now the other two targets,

Bananas and Cory,

you are gonna have to go
into the Chamber

and deal with...

...our winners
of today's challenge.

Rachel and Derek!

- Yes, sir!
- Yeah.

Wow. Rachel,
incredible performance.

- Well done.
- Thank you.

Derek, I honestly
did not have a clue

that you would be the one
to take Jordan out.

- That was awesome.
- Thank you, TJ. I love that.

Derek and Rachel,

you will have the head
of the table in the Chamber,

and you'll be deciding
between Bananas and Cory.

Which one of them is gonna face
the male loser of today, Josh?

So, Rachel, you will have
the ultimate say.

Got it?

Okay, everybody.
Get out of here. Good luck.

I mean, I know I'm capable
of doing these kind of things

and being good at them,
but TJ was surprised.

I mean, that makes this
even more better because

he just expected Jordan
to win this.

I'm, like, on cloud nine
right now.

This game just showed everybody
who I really am.

I never get too comfortable.

Does not matter
who I'm working with.

But I really do feel like Rachel
and myself are in a good spot,

so I'm just hoping
that she comes through for me.

This is a relationship
that I never saw

lasting this long, and, uh,
luckiest guy in the world.

Well, that sucked.

It's very sad, Josh, 'cause I
could have protected you both.

I know, and I know
you would have.

I'm at peace with it.
It was in my hands.

I fucked it up. Now I got
to go fight for my spot.

Being a Challenger
has been truly

the biggest blessing in my life.

I come from parents
that escaped Cuba

for a better life,
and that's all they've given me.

I know that I'm sitting
in this chair

because of the sacrifices
they've made.

And I feel like I haven't
been able to pay it forward.

You know, I know
that I'm making them proud.

But I think that personally,
for me, I have this pressure

that I just truly
want to help them.

So that's why I want to win.

While the title would be for me,

the money would be
to give back to them.

So I shit the bed
and I accept that.

But it's just, like, all right
to know that I'm going in,

it's, I have peace of mind.

It'll make you making the final

- that much sweeter.
- Yeah.

At this point right now,

my top three
are Johnny, Josh and Jordan.

And Cory, unfortunately,

is working at a disadvantage.

Josh is a real friend of mine,

and I really want him
to make this final with me.

I feel good about Josh
going against Cory.

I think that the both of them
size up well against each other.

They both are
pretty similar in puzzles,

pretty similar in size.

So there's not something
that should be thrown at them

that will give one person
a huge advantage.

Just wasn't my day.

Wasn't my day.

Hey!

Throw him in, Rachel.

Right now, I'm still in

- my fields.
- Yeah.

I think the biggest thing
about today is, like,

you know, I can't be mad
at anybody but myself.

You know, like, if I didn't want
to be in this position,

I should've won, you know,
so... just frustrated.

Throw me down there.

I'm not the type
of Challenger who likes

to consistently
throw somebody in

time after time after time,
so when it comes to Cory,

I feel really bad
because this is

going to be
his third time going in.

But, also,

Rachel,
I know that she loves power.

Because if you remember,
last time,

Rachel made Tori
go against Kaycee.

I also know Rachel
is working with Bananas.

My choice would be Bananas.

You don't want
to see Bananas in a final

because he usually wins,
but, like,

I'm just gonna
keep my mouth shut,

cosign and let Rachel do
what she's gonna do.

I know that Rachel and Bananas,

they've been working
close together.

I'm screwed, but listen,

it all comes full circle.

If I got to go in that sand,
I'm ready.

Me and Josh, we've gotten
into a couple arguments.

We've got a lot of beef.

And it's time
to let all that out.

Got an uphill battle, man.

I was really just gonna go out
no makeup, and then...

then you gave me this wig,
and then I said fuck it.

This is good.

- There you go.
- There we go.

- There you go.
- Smile.

Okay, so this is it.
This is it for tonight.

All right, I love it.

Karl's really just a Casanova.

Loves a good brewski and a burg.

Really good with the ladies.

Exceptionally hung.

What... what a guy.

Oh, my God. I forgot,
we got a new fucking castmate.

No, no, no, it's so good.
I know.

Come on, Tori!

- You're not gonna join me?
- Have you met... you met Karl?

I am officially turned on
for the first time.

For the first time
since Devin's left.

- Devin Who?
- Devin who?

Hey. Stop flirting with my man.

No, bitch. He's... he's mine!

Ladies, ladies, ladies!

You have to fight me, then!

It's just really
interesting that, yes,

Cara and I have been
different for many years.

But, like, the more time
I spend with her, the more

I feel like we're just kind of
like the sun and the moon.

Oh, my God, Tori!

You look good.

The yin and the yang, we're like
the opposites but the same.

Cory and I cut a deal
to keep each other safe,

and I think that Cory and I
do have a place

to move forward
in this game working together.

However, I would never
turn on Bananas.

- Hello. We're back.
- Just us.

So no matter what happens...

I know.

I will. I will.

- I will.
- Eh...

One thing I got to tell you is,
obviously, I don't want to lose,

but if there was one person
that I was like,

I still would like
to see get there...

you.

I know that Josh has

not had a great track record
in eliminations,

and I know that
that eats at him.

He has worked so hard

to become the stronger
competitor that he is now,

and I believe that he looks
at this elimination

as an opportunity to show
this improvement to everyone.

You'll get there.

But it can't be this season.

It can't be this season.

Let's go, baby.

I'll get one.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Well, my ass is on the line,

and you now have
the opportunity to save it.

- I know.
- And it's an amazing position.

Listen, I do feel like

your support and us
working together in this game

has been very special.

I genuinely just think
you're such a good guy.

That means the world to me.

- Mm-hmm.
- Because...

the only show
we ever did together...

- I know.
- ...we left
not on the same page.

- I know.
- You caught me

on the darkest season
of my career, The Island.

Rachel, you are not
a trustworthy person.

That could be
a double-edged sword.

Therefore, I'm gonna have to
send you home, Rachel.

I look back and I'm like,
"I get it, I was an asshole,"

but because we never filmed

another show
between now and then,

I didn't know, like, what...

- you know...
- Listen, what I'm trying
to tell you

is that I'm so happy
to come back

and have this experience
with you because

I always have known
what an amazing guy you are.

And your support in the game
is absolutely amazing.

Well, that's probably
the nicest thing anyone's

ever said to me
in my entire life.

And that's including-including

my-my mother and every
girlfriend I've had, so...

are we dating?

Johnny has just maneuvered

his way through this entire game

protecting and supporting

the women he loves.

To me, that's the kind of guy
I like.

I look at Bananas like
I look at raising children.

Whenever he says something
that I'm like,

"Eh," I just ignore it.

But when he says something
that's beautiful and sweet,

I let him know
how amazing he is,

because the good in Bananas

outweighs any of his outbursts.

I'm sorry if that's too much
for you.

Who paid you to say that?

We did not make you look too...

- Too much.
- ...too nice.

We don't want him
to lose his image, okay, guys?

It is.

But I-I mean, I don't like
that title, but like...

- But at the same time...
- ...but I do...

At the same time,
you-you, your...

It's not surprising you perform.

- Right. Right.
- I think people
only take that away

because they want
to think, like,

a fun gay man can't perform,

which is the most obnoxious,
infuriating thing ever.

- Yeah. It is.
- Because I've seen you perform.

I've seen you fucking make it
all the way to the final.

I've seen how well you do
in every competition.

That's why I'm like,
"I know Derek's a threat."

I'm like, "He's fucking...
he can run forever,

swim like a fish,
smart as fuck."

The thing about Derek
is people doubt him.

And that's why
he's so, so thankful

to show everybody today

in a challenge
that is just so masculine,

with the trucks,
that he can do it,

and he did it
against the greats.

- You fucking went 100% twice.
- Yeah.

- I can't even believe you.
I can't stand you.
- Thank you. Exactly.

- That is so unbelievably...
- Exactly. Exactly.

- So thank you.
So, I'm just going.
- You--

Who knew that you were built
for flying on trucks?

Semis.

Coming on to this season knowing

I was doing it with you,
I was just like,

"All right,
me and Rachel, let's go,"

like, I was happy about it.

- I know, I'm sad.
- I know.

And then, like,
now this happens, and, like,

I wish that, like,
it was different...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...because you know that, like,

- how much I enjoy your energy.
- I know.

- This is where we're at,
you know?
- Right.

I think my biggest question
is looking at Johnny

- and what's going on over there.
- Mm-hmm.

Obviously, you're a part
of that, you know, and...

- But I also...
- I'm trying to see,

is he ever gonna have you
as his number one?

I hear you, but, like, I think
Johnny and I have a very, like,

nice understanding
right now with the game.

- Right.
- And we both are in it

- to the long haul.
- Right.

Coming from Rachel,
it hurts a little bit,

because my expectations
were always high for her.

We were always on good terms,
and she sees my character.

But you have not helped me out
once in this game.

I know you guys are rocking
with Bananas,

but at the end of the day,
that's only one guy.

I've beaten Bananas
in a final before.

Take a shot at Bananas

and hopefully
get him out of the game.

Worst-case scenario for me

is definitely revenge on Josh,
so I'm just...

I'm licking my chops.

Obviously,
we have a special bond

because we are elimination...

- sister and brother, like...
- Yeah. Two and oh.

With that said, you know
that this is hard for me.

I just wanted to chat
because I think that

it's monumental to win
at this stage

- in the game.
- Yes.

And I'm not sure
if it's, like, universe...

...just loving the LGBTQ
community right now,

but I feel like
it's extremely special

that the two of us
won together...

- Yes.
- ...on such a big day.

And it is so important
to have the representation

that we offer on The Challenge,
because the truth is, is that

- there's a full-force attack
on it.
- Yeah.

I sometimes think to myself,

I'm like, "Wow, I can't
believe that I was out

"on The Challenge 20 years ago,

wearing a 'lesbian' shirt
across my chest."

And in today's day and age,
I'd almost feel more nervous

wearing that shirt now
than I did 20 years ago.

- Yeah.
- Which means

- we still have a lot
of work to do.
- Yeah.

I do believe
that representation matters,

and one of the things
that The Challenge

has always given us

is LGBTQ representation,

and that is at its core.

Happy being you!

Good job, Shane.

LeBron!

I want it more.

I might just keep this
for myself, though.

I'm sweating
and my fingertips hurt.

Welcome to the finals, man.

- Thanks, dude.
- Good job.

You're spilling everywhere.

Stop bumping into me, then, homeboy.

Derek and myself

are really proud to be able

to give this win to not only us

but to the entire
LGBTQ community.

The history of the show
rests on our eras.

- Yeah.
- And to me, they are the essence

of why The Challenge
is where it's at...

- Yeah. Yeah.
- ...20 years later.

Like, let's just keep going.

Let's go into the Chamber
and-and bask in all our glory.

- I love you, girl.
- I love you, too.

Oh...

I've been in twice.

So, walking into this Chamber,

I'm trying to stay locked in
and just tell myself

that I came on this season
knowing it was gonna be

an uphill fight, and I'm gonna
continue to fight my way

till I get to the top.

- I'm just here to be pretty.
- Derek, you made us all
look like

a bunch of assholes
on that truck.

You did the Peter fucking
Cottontail out there.

I happen to agree with you.

So, take it away, sis.

Well, I truly believe that

the universe works
in mysterious ways,

and this is obviously
where we're at in the game

and meant to be,
and I've been pretty open

with where I stand in the game.

I believe support in this game
is everything.

Josh and Johnny have both
been extremely supportive,

so this is obviously a hard
Chamber for me as a whole.

But if there's anything
that you do want to say, Cory,

or if there's anything
that you'd want to say,

Johnny or Josh, feel free.

Honestly, it's tough for me.

I feel like it was my own doing,
but I think

there's so much peace in that.

Like, nobody targeted me,
nobody threw me in.

And while this whole game,

I felt like
I've been sitting pretty--

thanks to you, Rachel--

- you've been a huge part.
- Both of us. I...

I know you're
Johnny's Angel, but in...

in this game, you've truly been
an Angel in my corner.

I feel the same.

Yeah, let it...

Let it all out. Go ahead.

- Let the-- Yeah.
- You've helped me

in ways that I can
never thank you.

You've truly been in my corner,
and I'm so blessed

that I've been able
to play this game with you.

But I think that now it's time.

I came into this game
with a chip on my shoulder,

looking at the lineup and seeing

the CTs and the Johnnys
and everybody

and feeling like
I didn't have a place.

Josh has a lot of the attributes

to be able to win a Challenge.

He's strong, he's got endurance.

Josh is just a good dude,
and I think

he's been underestimated a lot.

- Next one, Josh.
- Come on!

- Right there!
- Let's go! Yes!

Fucking...

And I can't give
this guy enough credit

for how far he's come
in this game, and I just

want him to go in with as much
confidence as he possibly can.

So, no matter what happens,

I'm gonna fight my ass off,

but I'm going against
one of the strongest guys

in this game, in my eyes.

And if I win,
I truly am gonna feel like

I earned my place.

And I think that,
for my own personal story,

I need to go in there
and earn it.

Being in this Chamber

and realizing the love
and just the friendships

that I have
with some of these people,

it's really hard because
I truly have so much

love for them, but now,

I got to fight for my life,
and I know that

I need to earn my way

into that final.

Feel like a lot of people
get in this situation

and they feel like
their back's against the wall,

whereas I feel like
I'm thankful.

And I know that might seem
stupid to a lot of people,

but to be able
to be here and compete

is what it's all about.

I think it's a great
opportunity for you, too,

to prove to yourself,
not that you need it,

but just that
you have what it takes

to run that final

and to compete
and to win a final.

I'm gonna go in there
and give it everything I have.

It's gonna be a dogfight,

and I want to put on
a hell of a show.

There's been one guy
in this house

that I felt played by,

and that was Josh.

He was in power

with Era Four, and he chose

for me to go in against Brad.

Me and Jenny decided
we're sending in Cory.

Every time you have
a chance to have my back,

you never have my back.

When you voted,
what was the vote?

I tried, bro. I tried.

I don't have time to hear
this bullshit anymore.

There's only one way
to settle this,

and that's down in the sand.

What up, dog?

Let's go!

Come on.

Let's go, man.

My best friend Nelson,
he's a Challenger.

Nelson, you ready? Go.

I see Cory as my brother.

Come on!

- Come on.
- I got you.

Put me in, then.

- What?
- Yeah.

Cory has a little girl at home.

I want to give my brother

Cory the best shot
in this final.

Let's go, Nelly!

Whoo!

Go!

You took that bullet
for me, man.

I love you.

Wow.

How is it? How is it
with the leg, dog?

How you...
how are you holding up?

I mean...

I wasn't expecting
to answer that question.

I still miss my foot.

Yeah, I mean, you will.
You'll forever miss your foot.

He just recently
lost his right leg,

uh, from a car accident.

Let's go.

There it is, dog.

Aah!

Let's go.

How's it feel?

Oh, uh... it feels good, man.

His perspective, man,

how much he went through, and...

he's finding a way
to still smile,

still be, you know, Nelly T.

that we love, but, um...

yeah.

Bro, you calling on a great day.

I just went to
my doctor's appointment, bro.

I'll be getting...
getting my prosthetic on Friday

and walking for the first time
in a year. You know what?

Yes! Walking, bro. Walking.

Oh, bro, it's...

it-it, uh...
it's been a ride, man.

I'm just glad
to see you smile, bro.

That-that means more
than anything.

Just to see him and how happy

he is right now puts a smile
on my face, so, um,

I'm doing this for him,

doing this
for the girls at home,

and, um...

He always said,
"It should be me and you

going on 40,"
you know, so, um...

It still hurts me, you know.

Want to do this for him and...

Get up.

I'm here, though, bro,

about to walk! [laughs] Yeah!

I'm so happy for you, and, like,

I know it's been
a rough journey.

This is everything that
I needed, to see you smiling,

to see that
you're in a good place

and, like, honestly...

I know times are gonna get hard,
bro, but you got this.

- You got this, G.
- Yeah.

I'm glad
that we finally connected.

Keep smiling, keep shining
that light, big dog.

All right, brother, I love you.

All right. Love you, too, bro.

Hear me out, man.

Because of who you are

and the fact that
you are playing your own game,

the most badass thing
you could ever do

is be like,
"Don't need you anymore, Johnny.

I don't like the way you treated
this person, that person."

- And I appreciate it.
- "Bye."

Rachel is a badass bitch
in this house.

The lone survivor of Era One.

And so, I have a Hail Mary
deep in the pocket here.

It's gonna be quite the reach,

but, you know, it could land.

I know this is hard
to hear for you...

- No, I get it.
- ...but I would never feel right

turning my back on him
at this moment in the game.

I bet on Bananas and Jordan.

That's who I'm riding with.

Cara, I'm sorry,
but you put your money on

Cory and Derek.
Those were your guys.

And Cara just plays
with her head cut off.

All right,
time for affirmations.

Repeat after me.

- I am strong.
- I am strong.

- I am capable.
- I am capable.

- I enjoy competition.
- I love competition.

I've done it all to this point.
I've put in all the work.

- Mm-hmm.
- And then just do
what's at hand.

Think of nothing else
other than what the job is.

Josh and I have had
kind of a bumpy road

because of this game,

but I'm always
gonna have Josh's back

because Josh is like my brother.

I love you so much.

You truly have been
such a good friend

to me in here.

But at the same time, this is

a really tricky situation
for me personally

with Josh and Cory
going into elimination, because

Cory and I
have each other's backs.

I just know whoever wins
deserves to be here.

All right.

Time to go in.

Tonight I'm thinking
about my daughter

and her open-heart surgeries

and all the sacrifice.

And, you know, if she can
go through all those surgeries,

I can do this.

It gives me the strength,

and tonight I feel it.

Going to this elimination,

I'm in a state of peace,

and I feel so confident,

and for me, this is a big win.

I normally let my anxiety
get the best of me,

but I got to keep fighting.
I have to stay in this game.

I need a spot in that final

because this money
is life-changing.

Not for me but for my family.

It's gonna help them
in big ways.

I am not gonna
make it this far to lose

this deep into the game
this time around.

Oh. Oh-oh.

Oh-oh.

What the hell is this?

Ay-ay-ay-ay.

Walking into the elimination,

we see

a massive wall going across,

two lanes and a bell.

A bell can only mean one thing.

Things are about
to get physical.

- Oh-oh.
- Wow.

I'm confident when it comes to

physical contact,
and it looks like a Hall Brawl.

So, it's time to go to war.

Welcome back to the Arena.

At the challenge,
Rachel and Derek

absolutely killed it.

- Well done.
- Yeah.

And, Josh, you lost
at the last challenge.

You're in the Arena
no matter what.

Come on down.

José.

Now, Cory and Bananas,

you were the other two targets.

So, Derek and Rachel,
who's it gonna be?

Well, TJ,
Derek and I decided...

- Cosigned.
- ...to give Bananas
the night off.

It'll be Cory going down.

Bananas and I have been
playing very closely,

and this feels like
the right decision

- for me tonight.
- All right, I like it.

Cory, come on down.

- Let's go, Cory!
- Go, Cory.

All right,
tonight you are playing

Coming From Behind.

- I like that.
- Derek.

I like that name.

Yeah!

So, as you can see,
there's a giant wall

right here in the middle
of the Arena.

On either side of that wall
are tracks.

To begin, one of you is
gonna be playing defense.

You're gonna start
on the defensive track,

and it's shorter,
with an obstacle.

One of you is going
to be playing offense.

You're gonna be playing
on the closer track.

It's a little longer
but a full sprint

all the way to that bell.

Offensive objective
is to hit that bell.

The defensive objective

is to prevent them
from doing that.

If you ring the bell,
you get a point.

You prevent them from ringing
the bell, you get a point.

Four points will win
tonight's elimination

- and stay in the game.
- Got it.

Good luck.

I haven't made a final.
I'm so fucking close.

And if you're telling me
that all I got to do

is sprint and ring a bell,
I'm gonna eat that fucking bell.

Me and Cory have had
our ups and downs.

I feel like in this game,

I've had to do things
against him,

and now it's coming to a head.

This is what
he's been asking for.

This is what I want,
and I'm excited.

This is my third time
being down here.

Josh was one of the reasons
I got thrown in this season.

You think I was gonna sway Theo?

Don't take me as a fucking idiot

and act like you
didn't just sit there

and vote a certain way!

I'm channeling all my anger,
everything, right here.

Put up or shut up.

Ryder, Mila, Maya,
Daddy loves you.

Daddy's about to have
some fun in the sand.

And then my boy Nelson
is counting on me.

Let's go.

Round one. Josh is on offense.

Cory's on defense.

Josh, all you have to do
is run in a straight line

and hit the bell.

I think this is something
even you can figure out.

Let's go. Come on.

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

All right, Josh, ready?
Cory, ready?

Go!

If I get there
before Josh gets there,

I'm gonna make sure
to limit his space

by cornering him out
right by out of bounds

and hopefully making him go out.

Go!

Oh, my God.

- One point for Cory.
- There you go.

- Fuck.
- Good try.

Josh is such a great competitor.

He's been working so hard
on his fitness,

and it is really important
that Josh wins tonight because

he's not gonna put
a target on me.

Obviously, Cory will, so...

I'm vouching for Josh
through and through,

and there's not many people
left from Era Four.

All right, Cory has one point.

Josh, you got none. You ready?

Go!

Come on, come on!

Let's go, let's go! Let's go!

Come on. Come on.

That's it!

Come on. Come on, Josh.

Let's go!

Whoo!

- Oh...
- Oh, yeah. Whoo!

Buddy. Like, you literally
just had to jump over hay bales.

Like, what is going on?

Let's go!

Oh, God. Oh, Josh.

- Let's go.
- Whoo!

Oh, man, Josh.

I feel for you, my friend.

Josh, lean in this time.

Lean in.
Don't let him push you out.

Cory is fast.

This man played
college football.

This guy is good.

But I feel like
my strength in this game

is not going to be my speed.

It's going to be my endurance,

and I'm ready to give it my all.

All right, the score
is two-nothing, Cory.

- Let's go, boys!
- Let's go!

Everything you've got!

- Ready?
- Go!

Let's go, boys!

Go!

Come on, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go!

Go, Cor!

Yeah!

- Let's go.
- Damn.

- Finish it! Way to go!
- Here we go!

- Good job.
- Fuck yeah. Way to go.

We have one more round.

I am up three to zero.

I'm like a shark in water.

I can smell the blood.

All right, the score
is three-nothing, Cory.

Cory, you win this one
and it's over.

Let's go! Come on!

Josh, ready? Cory, ready?

One more.

Go!

- Let's go, boys.
- It all comes down to this!

- Let's go, Cor.
- Josh, ready?

- Corey, ready?
- Everything you've got.

Go!

- Come on!
- Let's go!

On your left!

Go!

Come on!

Yeah!

- Keep your head up, Josh.
- Good job, boys.

Three and oh.

Leading the guys in this house
down in the sand felt good.

I just thought about my daughter

and all her
open-heart surgeries.

Mm.

And I was just like,
if she can do it,

I know I can do it.

She's keeping me going, and, uh,

I'm not gonna cry, but it gets--

It hits me right there.

I made a lot of sacrifice
to be here.

This is my 11th season.

I want to become
a Challenge champ.

I feel bad for Josh.

I know how bad he wants
to get in that final.

His time will come,
but this season,

he had to go against me, and
only one of us can make it out.

I'm not too tired,
so that's good.

- Good job.
- Good job, Cory. Way to work.

- Keep your head up, Josh.
- Way to go, Cory!

I'm trying to smile
so that I don't cry.

Fucking hell.

Being part of this show is the
biggest blessing in my life.

To be considered
one of the faces of Era Four,

I feel like one of the luckiest
humans in the world.

I feel like I was having
a good run until the very end,

and it all crumbled
right before my eyes.

I wanted nothing more
than to have this spot,

and it just didn't happen
yet again this time around.

Congratulations, Cory.

- Well done. Full sweep.
- Good job.

- Good job.
- Thank you.

Unfortunately, Josh,
you lost this one.

- Hold your head high, you know?
- Thanks. Thank you, buddy.
Appreciate it.

- That's all you can do.
- Thank you.

With winning elimination
comes power.

- 'Cause you know
what time it is.
- Yeah.

Why don't you go ahead
and pick three women

up on that stage right now.

You can choose anyone you want
except for Rachel.

The vacation alliance
is on vacation at this point,

and because of the nature
of this game,

where guys are voting in girls
and girls are voting in guys,

I have to convince a guy to
vote in a girl that I want out.

So, now that Josh
is out of the game,

I do hope
that Cory remembers that

and I will help him.

As long as it's not between
him and Jordan.

Well, I think it's easiest

to fire back at the folks
who fired at me.

I'm gonna have to go Jenny.
I'm gonna have to go Michele.

And then it comes down
to Aviv, Cara and Tori.

Cara's been down here in one.

Tori, we've been
working well together, so...

I'm gonna have to go with Aviv.

Lucky Aviv.
Here I am again.

I'm gonna have a penalty
coming into the next challenge.

I just can't catch a break.

It's becoming
more and more important

to secure that safety spot
with a win

as we get closer and closer
to the final.

Okay, so...

we have Jenny, Aviv and Michele.

Michele, you seem to be
on everybody's hit list.

You know, that's what happens.

You go in, you have to say names
even if you don't want to.

So I'm just gonna be
stuck in this loop

until I break it somehow.

Okay, Jenny, Michele, Aviv,
you're the new targets.

Cory, why don't you go ahead
and hand them their bands?

Bananas, give Jenny hers.

Keep your head up.

Keep your head up.
You gonna get it.

I love you, kid.

Cory's gonna be saying
my name, like, I expect it,

like, I put him
into elimination twice.

I'm not scared.

I'm used to being a target,
in case you haven't noticed.

Right now, I'm looking
at every one of you,

and I'm seeing
a lot of competition.

I'll see you guys later.
Get out of here.

Listen, I have a target band.

I'm used to being a target,
but...

this is the shake-up
that I needed.

And it's an opportunity
for the Angels

to be the ones in the hot seat

instead of me consistently
being in defense mode.

So this might just be
the space that we need

to make some moves in this game.

It's definitely not
gonna be a cakewalk.

All right, Josh,
you're probably wondering

why you're standing here.

You've made an impact
on this game.

That's why you're here.

Now, I'm gonna
give you the chance

to impact this game
even further.

Now, I told you how you treat
people in this game matters.

What?

I need you to cast a karma vote.

Oh.

You will be making an impact
that could be the difference

between somebody
getting their share

of $1 million and not.

Oh!

Dude, I have fucking chills.

Holy shit.

Rachel, Johnny and Tori are
gonna get five stars from me,

and everybody else
is gonna get a one.

I think that the only way

that I can make their vote
be a huge impact is by

not giving the rest
of the competitors

that are gonna be tough
for them in the final

a good rating.

They were truly my rock,
and they kept me going

and gave me so much confidence
and support

that this right here is
the only way I can repay them.

Wow.

You can taste the final.

Everyone's gonna
have to perform.

- Go, Kyland!
- Goddamn it.

Kyland looks like he's drowning.

No one is gonna stop me
from running the final.

I want you to just say me
if it's a target situation.

Banana's Angels are at risk.

I'm a target with a penalty.
I need to win today.

- These tunnels are tight.
- I can't see shit.

There are bats,
rats and fire ants.

What is that?

Oh, my God.

- You broke the rules.
- What?

- Oh, my God.
- Therefore, you're disqualified.
