LAST TIME YOU SAW ME,

I WAS TAKING HOME THE TROPHY

ON THE CHALLENGE: FREE AGENTS.

BUT NO MATTER

HOW MANY CHALLENGES I DO,

WALKING IN THE FIRST TIME,

THE BUTTERFLIES

REALLY GET GOING.

>> MY NAME IS SARAH.

I HAVE DONE EIGHT OF THESE

CHALLENGES NOW WITHOUT A WIN,

AND I'VE NEVER WANTED IT MORE.

>> MY NAME IS LEROY.

I'M 29,

AND I'M A PORN STAR.

NO.

MY BIGGEST WEAKNESS WOULD

PROBABLY BE BEING IN THE WATER.

>> COME ON, LEE.

>> BUT NOW I LEARNED

HOW TO SWIM OFF THE INTERNET.

LITERALLY JUST--JUST WATCHING

VIDEOS OF PEOPLE SWIMMING.

>> HEY, GUYS. CT HERE.

I'M BACK.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH,

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,

I HEARD D WAS GONNA BE HERE,

SO I SHAVED MY BEARD.

MY NAME IS TJ LAVIN.

I'M THE HOST OF THE CHALLENGE.

>> WHOO.

SO TO FILL IN THE GAPS

WE BROUGHT IN SOME ROOKIES.

SO FROM THIS SEASON'S

THE REAL WORLD

AND MTV'S ARE YOU THE ONE?,

HERE ARE NINE ROOKIES.

COME ON IN, GUYS.

>> OH, BOY,

IT'S AS IF THE SCOOBY DOO VAN

JUST PULLED UP,

AND EACH ONE OF THEM'S

GOOFIER-LOOKING THAN THE NEXT.

>> HI, FRIENDS.

>> EAT IT, NERD.

>> MY NAME IS JOHN.

I'M 24 YEARS OLD,

AND I'M A STAND-UP COMEDIAN.

IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE TO THINK

THAT THEY DON'T WANT ME HERE.

I'M FROM A DIFFERENT SHOW.

>> THE ARE YOU THE ONE KIDS

HAVE NO CLUE

WHAT KIND OF PERSONAL HELL

THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH.

THIS IS OUR TERRITORY,

AND THEY'RE STEPPING ONTO IT.

>> ALL THE VETS

ARE JUST STANDING THERE

AND GLARING AT US,

LIKE, "BITCH, WHAT DO YOU THINK

YOU'RE DOING HERE?"

>> I'M JUST HERE TO SHOW PEOPLE

THAT I CAN COMPETE.

>> I THINK COMING IN HERE

AS A ROOKIE, I HAVE NO CHOICE

BUT TO PROVE MYSELF.

>> SO HERE'S HOW IT'S GONNA

WORK.

THIS GROUP HAS A LOT OF HEART,

BUT SOMETIMES

THAT HEART CAN LEAD YOU ASTRAY.

IN FACT, YOU MIGHT SEE SOMEBODY

THAT'S PLAYED WITH YOUR HEART

AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

MAYBE IT WAS A FLING, A HOOKUP.

MAYBE IT'S A FORMER LOVER.

MAYBE IT'S SOMEONE

YOU HAD A SECRET HOOKUP WITH,

OR MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE YOU

HAD A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH.

WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE,

YOU GUYS COULDN'T MAKE IT WORK,

BIT NOW, IT HAS TO WORK,

BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR ONE

AND ONLY PARTNER

FOR THIS ENTIRE SEASON

OF THE CHALLENGE.

I'D LIKE TO WELCOME EVERYBODY

TO BATTLE OF THE EXES II.

>> THIS IS GOING

TO BE EXTREMELY AWKWARD.

>> MY WORST NIGHTMARE

IS COMING TRUE.

>> I'M SCARED.

I'D BE LYING

IF I SAID ANYTHING ELSE.

>> EXES II.

>> NOT AGAIN.

>> NOT AGAIN.

>> WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S

GET THESE TEAMS ALL LINED UP.

>> YUP.

>> FIRST THOUGHT IN MY MIND

IS, A LOT OF THESE GIRLS

DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEIR EX

IS 'CAUSE THEY'VE DONE

HOOKED UP WITH HALF THE CAST.

>> JONNA.

>> YES?

I'M JONNA.

I'M 25 YEARS OLD,

AND I'M A HAIR STYLIST.

>> YOU HAD A ROMANCE

WITH JORDAN.

>> YES.

>> BUT YOU HAD A RELATIONSHIP

WITH ZACH THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE.

SO, ZACH AND JONNA, YOU GUYS

ARE THE FIRST ONES.

>> JONNA AND I MET ON

BATTLE OF THE SEASONS.

>> LIKE, IN REAL LIFE?

>> I WAS YOUNG,

I WAS DUMB,

AND SHE HAD NO GAG REFLEX.

>> WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED

TO GO TO LOS ANGELES TOGETHER.

>> I WOKE UP ONE MORNING.

I LOOKED AT HER,

AND I SAID, "I'M DONE."

I THOUGHT MY [bleep]

DIDN'T STINK,

AND I SCREWED HER OVER.

I LEFT.

>> WOULDN'T SPEAK TO ME,

WOULDN'T ANSWER MY TEXTS,

WENT COLD SHOULDER

FOR TWO YEARS.

TO BE HONEST, NO MATTER

HOW HARD I TRY,

I'M ALWAYS GOING TO LOVE ZACH.

>> ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP, SARAH.

SARAH, YOU AND JONNA

HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON.

>> [laughs]

YES, WE DO.

>> JORDAN.

>> GREAT TASTE.

YOU GUYS HAVE GREAT TASTE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> I'M JORDAN, AND I'M A MODEL

IN NEW YORK CITY.

THE GENERAL PERCEPTION

OF ME AS A CHALLENGER

WOULD BE THAT I'M PRETTY COCKY.

>> WE JUST MADE OUT.

>> A LOT.

>> JORDAN IS FANTASTIC

TO LOOK AT,

BUT HIS MOUTH AND WHAT COMES OUT

OF IT IS THE BIGGEST TURNOFF.

>> I WILL SEND YOU HOME.

>> IF HE JUST SITS BACK

AND LETS ME RUN THINGS,

THEN WE WILL HAVE A SMOOTH RIDE

TO THE FINISH LINE.

>> NEXT UP, NANY.

>> MY NAME IS NANY.

I'M A BARTENDER.

>> NANY, WHO DO YOU THINK

YOUR PARTNER IS?

>> MM, DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE OPTIONS.

[laughter]

>> WELL, WE HAVE IT

ON PRETTY GOOD AUTHORITY

THAT YOU HAD A SECRET FLING

WITH BANANAS.

>> WHAT IS GOING ON?

>> NO.

>> WE HAD A--I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT YOU'D CALL WHAT WE HAD.

TJ, IT WAS STRICTLY BUSINESS.

I DID IT TO GIVE

A YOUNG LATINA GIRL A DREAM--

TO GET HER HER GREEN CARD.

>> BANANAS AND I

HAD A RELATIONSHIP OFF THE SHOW.

>> YOU KNOW, ONE THING KIND

OF LED TO ANOTHER, AND WE

HAD OURSELVES A LITTLE FLING,

I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT.

>> I STILL, AT TIMES,

FEEL LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING

THERE BETWEEN US THAT I JUST--

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT,

I CAN'T EXPLAIN.

>> WHAT'S UP, PARTNER?

>> THERESA.

>> UNFORTUNATELY,

I WASN'T ONLY DUMB ONCE...

BUT I WAS DUMB TWICE.

>> WE ALL KNOW YOU HOOKED UP

WITH LEROY,

BUT YOUR EX IS WES.

>> "EX" IS A STRONG TERM.

>> SHUT UP, WES.

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO TELL

WHAT THERESA THINKS ABOUT ME.

>> WES AND I

DON'T GET ALONG WHATSOEVER.

WE ACTUALLY DESPISE ONE ANOTHER.

>> NEXT UP, AVEREY.

I HEARD YOU HAD A ROUGH BREAKUP

WITH JOHNNY.

LET'S SEE IF YOU GUYS CAN GET

IT BACK TOGETHER AS PARTNERS.

SO COME ON DOWN.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> I MET AVEREY

REAL WORLD PORTLAND,

AND I CARED ABOUT HER DEEPLY.

IT SEEMED LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE

WERE SUPERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN.

>> LET'S GO.

>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.

>> AFTER OUR SEASON,

I DECIDED I LOVED HIM SO MUCH

I WAS GONNA MOVE ALL THE WAY

ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR HIM.

>> AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

AVEREY CHEATED ON ME.

>> THERE WAS A LOT OF SITUATIONS

WHERE IT REALLY DID LOOK BAD,

BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, AND I WAS

BEGGING JOHNNY TO BELIEVE ME.

>> DON'T GET TOO CLOSE.

[laughs]

>> THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP

REKINDLING, NOTHING.

>> TO HAVE SOMEONE THAT YOU

THOUGHT LOVED YOU NOT REALLY

LOVE YOU IS THE WORST FEELING

IN THE WORLD.

>> NIA.

>> I'M NIA.

I'M 24, AND MY OCCUPATION

IS BADASS BITCH.

[laughs]

>> YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO DENY

THIS RELATIONSHIP FOREVER.

>> I DID NOT HAVE

A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP--

[laughter]

IT'S ALLEGED THAT I GAVE LEE

A WORLD-CLASS BJ.

>> WE BOTH GOT CAUGHT COMING

OUT OF THE BATHROOM.

WE WERE IN THERE WASHING

OUR HANDS.

[laughs]

>> IF I DID,

IT WAS [bleep] AWESOME,

BUT I DON'T KNOW.

[laughs]

[squeaks]

>> SO WE GOT SOME ROOKIES

JOINING US.

BRITTANY, LET'S SEE

IF YOU'RE TRULY OVER ADAM.

COME ON DOWN.

>> WE ACTUALLY MET ON

ARE YOU THE ONE,

AND WITHIN, LIKE,

THAT FIRST COUPLE DAYS,

>> WHO'S YOUR PERFECT MATCH?

>> BRITTANY.

>> OH, MAN.

BRITTANY ENDED UP GETTING

TOO CLINGY FOR ME.

>> SAY YOU AND I

GOT MARRIED SOMEDAY--

>> THAT'S A PRETTY QUICK THING

TO SAY.

SHE COULDN'T TAKE NO

AS AN ANSWER.

OH, MY GOD.

>> WHATEVER.

>> YOU'RE [bleep] CRAZY.

>> NO BOOM BOOM ROOM

THIS TIME, GUYS.

I HATE HIS GUTS.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE HIM

BY THE THROAT AND, LIKE,

POWER BOMB HIM IN THE FACE.

>> JESSICA,

LAST SEASON YOU COULDN'T

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF DUSTIN.

SORRY THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT

FOR YOU.

>> OH.

>> WHEN I LEFT FREE AGENTS,

ME AND JESSICA REALLY

DIDN'T PICK UP A RELATIONSHIP.

>> DUSTIN HAD A LITTLE

GIRLFRIEND, AND SHE DECIDED

TO TRASH ME ON TWITTER.

>> JESSICA MIGHT HAVE SOME BEEF

WITH ME FOR

MY GIRL'S ISSUES WITH HER.

>> GET YOUR LITTLE CHICK

ON A LEASH AND HANDLE IT.

>> [groans]

>> NEXT UP, JENNA.

YOUR PARTNER IS JAY.

>> HI, I'M JENNA.

I'M 21 YEARS OLD,

AND THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ME,

I WAS HYSTERICAL,

CRYING EVERY OTHER DAY OVER JAY.

>> EIGHT MONTHS, NO TALKING.

>> NOW WE'RE PARTNERS.

>> YEAH.

>> LONG STORY SHORT, JAY

CHEATED ON ME WITH MANY PEOPLE.

>> I GUESS I KIND OF DIDN'T,

LIKE, FALL INTO THE PART

THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO PLAY OF

BEING THAT GOOD BOYFRIEND TYPE.

WE'RE GONNA WIN THIS STUFF.

ME AND JENNA NEED TO OVERCOME

OUR PAST IF WE WANT TO GET

ANYWHERE IN THE FUTURE.

>> NEXT UP, JEMMYE.

YOU AND YOUR CHEATING

EX-BOYFRIEND KNIGHT.

[laughter]

>> I LOVE YOU, TJ.

>> IT WAS ONE TIME.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

THOUGHT WITH THE WRONG HEAD.

SO I MAY OR MAY NOT

HAVE CHEATED NUMEROUS TIMES--

NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS TIMES.

>> WHY THE HELL DID I

NOT HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

>> AND ONE MORE PAIR OF

REAL WORLD: EX-PLOSION ROOKIE.

HAILEY, YOU'RE NEXT.

>> I'M HAILEY.

I'M 22 YEARS OLD,

AND I'M A STUDENT.

>> LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN GET

ALONG WITH YOUR OLD

HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART, THOMAS.

>> HI, I'M THOMAS.

AND I'M SINGLE,

AND I'M VERY WILLING TO MINGLE,

IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT--

LIKE, SEX.

SHE TOOK MY VIRGINITY.

I WAS 16 WHEN I MET HAILEY.

>> I DEFINITELY WAS IN LOVE

WITH THOMAS, AND I THINK

HE'S THE ONLY BOY THAT

I'VE EVER BEEN IN LOVE WITH.

>> SHE HAD A VERY NICE BUTT,

AND I'M A BUTT DUDE.

>> THERE CAN BE

SOME SEXUAL TENSION

SOMETIMES BETWEEN TOM AND I,

AND THAT MIGHT GET

IN THE WAY A LITTLE BIT.

>> AND WE HAVE SOME MORE ROOKIES

HE'S NOT YOUR PERFECT MATCH,

BUT MAYBE

HE'S YOUR PERFECT PARTNER.

>> BUT AFTER HANGING OUT

WITH HER FOR A FEW DAYS,

I REALIZED, "OH,

YOU'RE MORE OF A SELFISH,

EGOTISTICAL, PRIDEFUL PERSON."

>> I FELT LIKE I LOWERED

MY STANDARDS FOR HIM.

I MEAN, LOOK AT ME,

AND LOOK AT JOHN.

I HAD JUST FINISHED MY BOUT

AND WAS REALLY INSECURE.

CT AND I FELL IN LOVE

AND HAD A REAL RELATIONSHIP.

WE WERE ALSO TWO VERY DIFFERENT

PEOPLE AND A LOT YOUNGER, BUT

I HAD GOALS I WANTED TO MEET,

BECAUSE I SAW HOW QUICKLY

THEY CAN BE TAKEN AWAY.

CT WAS FURIOUS WITH ME

FOR BREAKING UP WITH HIM.

>> IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FIVE YEARS

LATER.

CAREER FIRST.

GOOD LUCK WITH IT.

>> ON EXES I,

WE WERE ABLE TO MEND FENCES.

[cheering]

BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY

HE TREATED ME IN RIVALS II.

>> POP OFF AT THE MOUTH

WHEN YOU DON'T GET YOUR WAY?

>> NO, I POP OFF AT THE MOUTH

THIS CHALLENGE WILL SHOW WHAT

TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE.

THE WINNING TEAM

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PRIZE PURSE

THAT WE'VE EVER HAD

FOR A PAIR:

>>: Now, tonight you guys are playing Pole Position.

As you can see behind me there's a giant 25 foot structure

with a ladder on each side of it, leading up to a bell.

To begin each player is gonna be facing their partner.

Now your hands and feet are gonna be strapped into poles.

When I say go, you're gonna have to use those poles

to advance all the way up the ladder to the bell at the top.

So, you're gonna have to use a lot

of communication and teamwork.

First team to ring the bell wins,

stays in the game, goes for the big money.

Losing team, you're outta here.

Good luck you guys.

(Male Contestant) Good luck.

(applause)

>>: This is a lot of communication.
