Original subtitles

>> Previously on The Challenge,

at the Stacking Up Dome,

Adam's leap for victory

fell short...

[people screaming]

sending him and Brittany home

and giving Johnny and Averey

the win.

>> Each win, we definitely

grow stronger as a team.

>> Despite winning The Dome,

Johnny and Averey flunked out

during the trivia challenge

while Jay and Jenna

shocked everyone by outsmarting

the competition for the win

and became the new power couple.

Back at the house, Sarah

and Jordan's divide grew deeper.

>> If I weren't on your team,

I wouldn't want to vote you

in because you're kind

of an ass[bleep].

>> I didn't--I didn't come

for therapy, Sarah.

>> And at nominations--

>> Jay and Jenna, you guys

get to choose any couple

you want to face off

with Johnny and Averey.

>> The best thing for our team

is to send in Leroy and Nia.

>> Do y'all want to explain

y'all's decision?

I'm not a violent person,

but I really wanted to kick Jay

in his face.

>> At the Hooking Up Dome, Leroy

and Nia secure the victory...

>> Good job, guys.

>> Get her. You got it.

You got it, Nia. Ahh!

>> sending Johnny

and Averey home.

>> Yes, yes.,

>> We back.

>> There you go. There you go.

>> Exes who couldn't

make it work

have to work together to win.

>> I will make your lives

a living hell.

>> He is crazy.

>> You look at me

like competition. That's it.

No friendship, nothing.

>> You took my virginity.

>> I don't respect you,

and I wish I had a new partner.

>> Leave me alone.

>> I know that we

don't belong together,

and we're never gonna date.

>> You stabbed me in the back.

>> You're my teammate.

You're not my boyfriend.

>> And with big money at stake,

this is one fight

they can't afford to lose.

>> Ahh!

>> Not again.

>> I'm getting kind of nervous

at this point because

we're down to five:

me and Sarah, Zach and Jonna,

Wes and Theresa,

Leroy and Nia, Jay and Jenna.

There's definitely

some tension there.

At this point in the game,

we're looking towards the final.

>> I'll just get a Red Bull.

You absolutely killed it.

Like,

you got it done regardless.

You're the MVP still.

As for Jay and them,

all the hatred that I have

towards Jay is still--

I mean, he's still a bitch.

Me and Nia are again victorious.

It's a weird feeling

because I know some people

here don't want us here.

You know,

they weren't rooting for us.

Especially Jay--Jay's--

gonna have to spank him and let

him know that he messed up.

>> This whole, "Let's

save the rookies

for an easy alley-oop in

the final--" [bleep] them, dude.

They don't deserve

to go to the final.

Anybody who's--who will--

who's gonna be a coward

and not want to fight against

the best of the best in the end

is a pussy,

and I'm sick of them.

They got to go home next time.

>> I just walked by the kitchen

on my way up here,

and I see, like,

my space cadet partner.

>> Even if you think she

[bleep], you better make

her think that she is a [bleep],

like, goddess.

If you believe in her,

it's, like, three times as much

as her believing in herself.

Oh, also,

your little girlfriend--

they're out of here.

They're out of here.

All that carrying to the final

[bleep]--if anybody

says that punk [bleep],

I'm literally gonna

go the [bleep] off.

Jay voting us in was such

a bitch-ass thing to do, so now,

that to me is a rude awakening.

>> Now, it's, like, back

to being a game of wolves.

>> I am gonna hurt her.

>> All right.

I have been

stressing with Jordan lately,

and that doesn't sit well

with me.

I don't like it.

We can't have this,

"I ignore you;

you ignore me," thing.

I can't stand when somebody

doesn't like me,

and I want to do anything

I can to repair it.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> You can write him a letter.

>> Oh, ooh--

>> I think words always help.

>> Words are good.

If I have to make the first move

and apologize,

I'm gonna do it,

because I do care about Jordan.

"I was really hurt by some of

the things you said that day

at the challenge."

>> Show me something.

No, no, no, we're not stopping.

You're making yourself do that.

Come on.

>> "Know that I'll always

be here as a friend

whenever you're ready,

so we can get back to being

the super, awesome wonder

twin partners we once were."

>> That was good.

Don't cry, though.

You love him as a friend.

>> I do.

>> You do.

We're exes for reasons.

You're supposed to be friends

with these people, not lovers.

>> Not at all.

So many challenges

I've done without a win,

and I want it so bad,

so it is so important

for Jordan and I

to be on the same page in this.

>> Hmm?

>> It's for you.

>> Sarah apologizes, and she

lets me know how she feels,

and she lets me know that it

wasn't from a place of malice.

Brothers and sisters--

they bicker.

>> You're kind of an ass[bleep],

and everybody says that.

>> All this kind

of stuff weighs on you,

and I hate feeling vulnerable.

>> Oh, you're gonna make me cry.

I'm sorry.

The biggest attribute that Sarah

and I hold is, we genuinely

like each other.

We're back to the wonder twins,

and we've got that trust again,

so it feels good.

[horn honks loudly]

>> We have two semi trucks,

one with a big apparatus on it,

and I'm just thinking,

"What kind of crap

have I gotten myself into?"

>> All right, everybody, welcome

to your eighth challenge

on this season

of Battle of the Exes II.

[cheers and applause]

Today's challenge

is called Speed Dating.

It's gonna be good.

Today, you guys are gonna be

jumping from one tractor trailer

to the other

while they're moving

30 miles an hour.

>> Ah.

>> Okay?

here's how it's gonna work.

To begin, each team

is gonna start on one rig,

next to an empty wall.

When I say go, those rigs

are gonna take off.

Once they hit 30 miles an hour,

you'll be given a signal

to send the girl.

Jump from one rig

to the rig with all the balls.

She'll grab up to two balls,

jump back across,

and deposit those balls

in the wall.

When she does this,

the guy can take off.

You're gonna continue

this process all the way

down this runway.

However, there is a catch.

In two places marked by smoke,

the rigs will separate.

Okay?

Making it impossible to jump--

you'll be yanked off right away,

and your turn will be over.

Now, pay attention.

When you're up on the trucks,

the guys must stay

outside of the girl.

If he ends up on the inside

of the girl, your safety lines

will get tangled,

and you'll get stuck.

The team

who collects the most balls

in the fastest time

will win today's challenge

and become the power couple.

The losing team

goes straight to The Dome. Cool?

>> Yeah.

>> Really cool.

>> Jay and Jenna, since you guys

are the power couple,

you're gonna go ahead

and make today's order.

>> What do you want to do?

First one is--we're gonna

do Leroy first.

>> How do you spell it?

>> R-o-y.

>> Oh, right.

>> Oh, my god.

We basically already made

Leroy and Nia our enemies,

so why put somebody else first

in the list

and have them pissed off

at me as well?

>> All right, Leroy and Nia,

you're up first.

Let's go. Good luck.

>> Of course.

[applause]

We're focused

on getting fist place

and basically reversing

this [bleep] on them,

and there's no other option.

We're power couple today,

and I'm not taking

anything other than that.

>> Nobody stayed down

at the bottom.

Everybody's on the

chopping block,

so anybody can get thrown in.

>> Leroy, Nia, go!

[air horn blasts]

>> Go, Nia. Go, Nia. Go, Nia.

Run, run, run, Nia, go!

>> Leroy's screaming at me,

like, "Go, go, go,"

but I am absolutely scared.

This is not a good idea to me.

>> Go!

Run, Nia, go, go!

>> Ahh!

>> Come on!

>> Jonna, come back, come back.

You just [bleep] this up.

>> It's not always my fault.

>> Listen!

>> Go, Nia. Go, Nia.

Run, run.

Run, Nia.

Go, go!

>> [whimpers]

>> Hurry up!

Once TJ blows the horn

and these trucks

actually start moving,

then your heart starts

beating fast, because now,

it makes you feel as if, like,

you're in some type

of movie or something.

That was real good.

No wait. Wait.

[speaks indistinctly]

>> [squealing]

That is super cool.

>> Go.

Hurry up.

Hurry up, Nia. Hurry up!

Come on. Come back.

Come back, girl!

>> [grunts]

>> Leroy and Nia

are killing this challenge.

Nia is making these jumps

from rig to rig

seem like hopping over puddles.

>> Halfway done.

Move, move, move.

>> Go, hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Come on, run.

Run!

[horn honks]

Run, run, jump.

Jump!

>> [grunts]

>> Good job.

>> That's it?

>> We got eight--we got ten?

Good [bleep] work.

>> Yeah, yeah, I know.

>> [screams]

>> Don't worry about it.

>> Okay.

>> I actually think we

did better than

I thought we would do up there.

I was hopefully going for maybe

six to eight balls.

We ended up getting ten.

I told her, "Going first,

we're just gonna

have to set the bar high,"

and I think we did.

>> Relax.

You're all right.

>> I'm fine.

>> This is [bleep].

I mean, you know.

>> I'm just nervous,

just 'cause it's, like,

right before, so obviously,

I'm nervous.

>> Good nerves.

>> Yes, adrenaline nerves.

>> All right, Zach

and Jonna, you ready?

Go!

>> Go.

Go. Go.

Go, go, go.

>> [yelps]

>> Come on, come on, come on.

>> [bleep].

Ow.

Go.

>> I can't. I can't.

The goal for today was for Jonna

and I to get four balls

in the first leg

before the cars split,

but because of her fall,

now we have to make it up

somewhere else,

and I don't know

if there's gonna be time.

>> Come on, Zach.

>> Let's go.

Come on, go, go.

Hustle, hustle, hustle.

>> Oh, he's going.

>> Wow, wow, wow.

>> Wait, wait. No, no, no!

Jonna, no, come back.

Come back!

Come on!

>> all: Whoa.

>> Whoo.

>> She made it.

Whoo!

Any fear that Jonna had before

has gone out the window,

and Zach has got

to give her credit on this one,

because she is doing

a fantastic job.

>> Go, go, go, go, go.

Come on.

[horn honks]

No, no!

Come on!

>> [shrieks]

Oh, my god.

>> Jonna!

>> What? Why are you yelling?

>> You can't go.

>> Why?

>> 'Cause we're done.

You're hanging off of it.

>> If we get disqualified

because she just

jumped off the car, then

there's gonna be hell to pay.

>> You realized

they were splitting, right?

>> I was just--

it's my adrenaline.

I'm sorry. I just went.

>> Listen!

You just [bleep] this up.

>> I [bleep] everything up.

I [bleep] everything up.

>> Do you not, though?

This money is this close.

I've played such a good game,

and you're making it really hard

on me.

You're making it really hard

on me right now.

>> Zach puts a lot

of pressure on Jonna,

but you can't stress someone out

when they're under pressure.

It's the worst way

to handle them.

>> See?

>> Are we DQ'd 'cause

she was hanging off at the end?

>> Well, they didn't say after

time stops that you can't jump.

>> Okay.

I wasn't sure

if falling off just

negated your entire turn.

Apparently, it doesn't.

Got quite the daredevil

on my hands.

The daredevil--she could take

some of her daredevilness

and put it into her puzzle

solving,

we would be the dream team.

>> [chuckles]

>> We feel pretty good

about this.

It's athleticism.

It's guts.

>> It's super adventure

action movie stuff!

>> And it's that.

It's that, so we're ready.

We're excited.

>> All right, Jordan,

Sarah, are you ready?

Go!

>> Wait, wait.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Come on, Sarah.

Come on.

Good girl.

>> Go.

>> Good girl.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

>> Nice jump, Jordan.

>> Whoa.

>> Go.

Go, go.

Come on.

>> [bleep].

That was what was

not supposed to happen.

Oh, [bleep].

I'm not--I can't go.

>> Uh-oh.

>> We got all of our wires

twisted.

This is not good.

>> Go now.

>> I can't.

>> Go--

Come on!

>> I'm stuck.

>> Go now.

>> Oh, [bleep].

I'm not--I can't go.

>> Guys--

>> Go now.

>> I can't.

>> Go--

>> No one's jumping.

>> Jordan and Sarah did exactly

what was told not to do,

and that was cross the ropes,

and when you cross the ropes,

the ropes get tangled

and your time

is pretty much over.

>> I'm stuck on your rope.

I think when you

went under me that time--

I don't know what happened.

>> Go.

>> The cables

that we're attached to

only move a certain way.

Somehow, in the excitement

and mess of it all,

Jordan got underneath mine,

and we only have four balls--

four.

This is terrible.

>> All right,

so it looked like you guys

got your lines tangled up,

and they told you exactly

how not to do that,

so you need to pay

more attention.

You guys only got four balls.

>> No, that is--

>> We ended up with four balls,

but this--this was easy.

We could've gotten all 12.

>> After watching a few teams,

I am really excited to do this.

If people ever ask why we still

do these when we have real jobs,

today is the answer.

>> All right, Wes and Theresa,

go!

>> Whoo.

We're not in last.

>> That very well might have

been one of the most fun things

I've ever done

in my entire life.

>> Yeah, I would have to agree.

It's pretty gnarly up there.

>> That was awesome.

>> You're the only one jumping

on the first run.

>> Ugh.

>> As long as we

get more than four, we're safe.

Now I'm just getting greedy.

I want--I want to go.

I want that final, so--

>> We've got to keep winning.

>> Exactly.

>> All right, Jay

and Jenna, you ready?

Go!

>> Whoo!

That's hard.

>> Oh, my gosh.

>> That was a big leap.

>> Go?

Oh, no.

>> When I put my second ball in,

I look at her, and I look up

and realize that my damn line

is tangled in Jenna's now.

>> Oh, no.

>> All right, we're good.

We're good.

It untangles--good.

Let's freaking go.

>> We're done.

We're done.

It's all right. We got six.

>> We're not last, and that's

all we need right now,

and hopefully,

we don't get voted in.

>> Sarah and Jordan, you guys

got tangled up,

couldn't get untangled,

so I'll be seeing you guys

in The Dome.

However, there were a lot

of teams that did really good.

Zach and Jonna, you guys did

an amazing job with 11 balls.

However, Zach, you left the wall

before Jonna got back.

Therefore, we couldn't count

that 11th ball.

>> I just want to be like,

"See?"

Like, "I did do something right,

and you actually

did something wrong.

You [bleep] up."

>> Wes and Theresa,

you guys got ten balls.

Leroy and Nia, you got ten.

Zach and Jonna,

we could only count ten for you.

It all came down to time.

The team that completed

their turn the fastest is--

>> Please, God, please.

We deserve this.

>> The team

that completed their turn

the fastest is...

Leroy and Nia.

>> Whoo-hoo-hoo!

>> Oh.

>> This one feels so good,

because now

the power is in our hands.

>> Uh-oh.

>> Yes.

>> Uh-oh.

>> [bleep].

I'm screwed.

>> Leroy and Nia, you guys

are the power couple.

You guys have to decide

any other couple

to send in to The Dome

to face off

with Sarah and Jordan,

so I'll see you guys

at the house

to get your decision.

Good luck.

>> Okay, I'm gonna explain

to you where all my anger

has come from.

To Jonna,

I'm an egotistical monster

who's got a bad attitude,

but I think having a good

conversation is gonna help

us move forward as a team

and maybe just do better.

I'm a yeller.

That's how I get things across,

and like, today, I [bleep] up.

It's not fair to you.

>> It's like,

"Did anyone else hear that?"

I'm literally up to here. Like,

now's the time that I finally

have to put my foot down.

I have to stand up for myself.

>> Are you gonna talk?

'Cause I can walk away from this

right now if you're gonna act

like a child.

>> Please, stop threatening me.

>> Well, if you're gonna act

like a child, I'm not--

>> I'm not.

>> I need you to, like, at least

not just sit there like--

>> Don't you [bleep]

open your mouth.

It's disrespectful.

Blaming everything on me--okay,

to everyone else,

that's [bleep] fine, but to me--

like, I'm not a bad partner.

Like, I'm not, and everything

isn't always my fault.

It's not always my fault.

>> Yeah.

>> But today, you didn't listen.

That was stupid, and--

>> I'm--I'm done.

I [bleep] hate him.

>> I'm a wolverine.

I'm a champion.

>> He's a douche.

>> Did you guys at least end

on a happy note?

>> Yeah, after this, I never

want to [bleep]

see him ever again.

It feels so great

that I finally stood up to Zach,

because the weight

is lifted off my shoulders,

and I can now focus and

concentrate on the same thing

that we came here

for in the very beginning,

and that's winning this game.

Like, I'm a good partner.

Whether he's ever gonna say it

or not, I don't give a [bleep].

Nope.

>> Nice.

Me and Nia get to have

our power couple dinner,

and it's a little weird because

our dinner is fried chicken.

I done seen pizza.

I done seen fish.

You give the two black people

in the house fried chicken.

I'm actually not mad about it.

I'm actually appreciative that

it's actually fried chicken,

so me and my partner--

we're gonna enjoy this black

power couple dinner together.

This is the game plan.

What we need to do is--

we gonna talk

to everybody tonight,

and out of every person

that leaves from this table--

needs to feel

like we cut them a deal.

Every team

that leaves this table tonight

needs to know

that we're their number one.

We got the--

We got the power to do it.

>> Yeah.

>> Nobody's gonna

know who's going in until we

get to deliberation tomorrow.

I want it to be a surprise,

like, "Surprise, mother[bleep]."

>> Look at you,

finally politicking.

I'm proud of you, dude.

When it comes to politicking,

Leroy's just not good at it,

but I'm gonna sit back

and let Leroy take the reins

on this one.

Hopefully, he doesn't [bleep]

it up.

>> Hey, guys.

>> both: Hello.

>> You want some of

this champagne, Jonna?

>> Uh, yeah.

>> Here you go.

>> That's good stuff.

>> So basically,

we're 100% straight.

We're good.

I'm assuming

that we're on the same page.

I'm hoping that we are.

>> This meeting

couldn't have gone any better.

Leroy shakes my hand,

tells me to sleep

like a baby tonight, 'cause

I'm not going in. I feel great.

Just do us one favor.

>> What's that?

>> Make Jay [bleep] tremble.

>> Yeah,

they'll be next to get over.

Bring them over here for us.

>> All right, well, sounds good.

>> Ladies and gents--

>> Oh--

>> both: How the tables

have turned.

>> Real good.

>> That was good.

I like it.

We were both thinking the same

damn thing.

>> There's still a part of me

that's like,

"What y'all did to me--you

didn't make the right decision."

Jay and Jenna--the look

on their face--

they're so scared.

They know what time it is.

>> So it's at a point of--y'all

the only ones who've actually

done something to us.

You know what I mean?

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Now, let's just say

if you guys

would've never voted us in, we--

it wouldn't even be an option.

>> I would tell you

to go lay down.

But since you did, then

you have to be on it.

I can't--

>> No, I understand that.

>> We really just want

to throw Jay and Jenna in there.

That decision

is basically off of emotion

and wanting to pay them back

for what they did,

but at this point, that may not

even be the smartest choice.

Even though you threw me in,

more than anybody in this house

that I want more than you is the

dude that's looking out for you.

>> Wes.

>> I want his ass bad.

>> It definitely

makes me nervous that me and Jay

could be going in,

but if you want to send us in,

then send us in.

I'm not gonna sit there and beg.

>> So where do I start?

Y'all played a great game

up until this point.

Y'all been winning.

The smart thing would be to just

throw you in there, period.

>> I am very confident

that I'm going in.

I mean, it's just that simple,

and now, it's my job

to attempt to fix it.

>> So what I'm telling you now

is, before this conversation is

over, I need to be number one.

>> I have a number one.

>> And your number one is--

>> Zach.

>> That's your number one?

>> You throw in Zach, you'd

realize that no matter what,

a spot--a very big,

guaranteed, 100%,

not gonna lie to you in any way,

shape, or form spot opens up

and you can have that spot.

>> Right.

Wes said, "Leroy,

if you want to be my number one,

you have to get rid

of my number one,"

and in my head, I'm still like,

"I don't want to give you

the power

to be able to cut a deal."

If Zach's not going in,

Zach's still your number one?

>> Yeah, that's what scares me,

'cause I can't lie to you.

He's my number one.

I'm his number one.

It's been like that,

and so if it comes down to it,

if I go into this thing

tomorrow, and I win,

and I come back,

he's gonna stab you in the back.

Anyone over there will.

>> It's like the roles

have been reversed,

like you're the power couple.

>> No.

>> Yes, it is, because if I

do your [bleep] dirty work,

and I send in Zach--

>> It's not my dirty work.

>> It is, mother[bleep].

>> I'm giving you the--

I'm giving you the info

to make the decision

that you've got to make.

If he goes home,

there's a guaranteed spot where

I will be able to save you,

no questions asked, no problem.

But I come back,

I have to save Zach.

Zach is my number one,

but I need Zach and Jonna

out of the game.

It's a good team

that might be thrown

into an elimination round

against me,

and there's a good chance that

that big dude would beat me.

If we're each other's number

ones,

we make plans together.

>> Yes.

>> And if we're

each other's number ones,

we don't sit and throw in Jay.

We leave that for the mistakes

that any one of us

could make next week.

>> Next week--

>> We work on making sure

we all go to the finals.

>> Hmm...

hmm...

just got interesting.

>> Didn't it?

>> I am in awe watching

this conversation go down.

I always knew that Wes

was good with politics, but

this is a whole nother level.

He is a genius

when it comes to manipulation.

>> I could be straight

with Zach.

I can tell him, like,

"This is what it is."

>> And technically,

I'm not in trouble,

but it would make it a hell

of a lot easier on me

if my name

doesn't get brought up at all.

>> That's affirmed.

We got that. It's fine.

That's easy.

>> He doesn't have to know

it's me.

>> Yeah.

>> Right?

>> I like that.

>> I hope that you learned a

little something

here tonight too.

>> That you're still

a [bleep] snake.

>> Oh, my god.

[laughter]

>> It might be one

of my finer pieces

of work in this game.

Sometimes

I even surprise myself.

>> Jenna, can we talk to Zach?

>> What?

>> Can we talk to Zach?

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Okay, so I think

that my partner somewhat

jumped the gun when he was like,

"Okay, you're safe."

Things have now changed.

>> It's guy code that when you

shake someone's hand

and you make a promise

that you keep it.

Apparently, Leroy

wasn't raised like that.

>> I feel [bleep]

that I just told you

you could rest straight,

and now, we're telling you

that we're gonna

choose you and Jonna.

>> I mean, I just want to make

sure it wasn't anything--

like,

Wes didn't convince you of that.

>> He had absolutely nothing

to--He had nothing to--

>> This had nothing--

their conversation

had nothing to do with--

>> At all--listen,

it's self-preservation.

I have to set myself up

to get paid, bro.

You've been paid in this game.

I haven't.

>> I don't know

what Wes said to you or what way

he worded things--

>> Wes didn't say anything

to us.

>> Wes had nothing

to do with it.

>> I had your back.

I did, and if I'm going in,

I'm just telling you,

you'd better pray

I don't come back.

>> Leroy and I are doing

everything we possibly can

to make it to the finals,

but if Zach and Jonna

come back into the house,

there is a high probability that

Zach would want to vote us in.

It's a risky decision.

[applause]

>> All right, guys,

that was a great challenge.

However, Sarah and Jordan,

you guys couldn't work it out,

so you guys

are going into The Dome.

Come on up.

[applause]

Leroy and Nia, you guys

are the power couple,

so you guys have to decide

which couple you want to send

into The Dome to face off

with Sarah and Jordan.

So who's it gonna be?

>> Um--

>> When you have meetings

with other teams,

you hope that those contracts

actually hold up,

but there's always

a slight chance

that anyone

could flip a switch on you.

Here it goes.

>> Yesterday,

after winning power couple,

I was 100% sure

of who I wanted to go in.

>> I absolutely think

we're getting voted in, 100%.

There's no reason

why they shouldn't vote us in.

>> We need to make

the best decision for our team.

>> If they want to throw me in,

Leroy and Nia have no clue

what kind of personal hell

they're about to go through.

>> So our vote is for...

>> So who's it gonna be?

>> We need to make

the best decision for--

what's best for our team

to get to the final,

and looking at the teams

that are left,

if I have to face this person,

I would have a tougher time

than any of the other guys

in the house.

So our vote

is for Zach and Jonna.

>> All right, Zach

and Jonna, come on up.

[applause]

>> We are relieved.

Me and Jay couldn't be happier,

but then again, I'm really sad

that they're going in.

>> Out of fear, Leroy's trying

to get rid of me tonight so

he doesn't have to deal

with me later in the game.

They have a good reason.

I wouldn't want

to go against me,

so they're trying

to get rid of me.

>> Okay, so it's gonna

be Zach and Jonna

against Sarah and Jordan.

I'll see you guys at The Dome.

Good luck.

[applause]

>> Leroy pulled the trigger.

Leroy loaded the gun.

I just showed Leroy

how the gun works.

[snickers]

>> I'm gonna talk

to Jenna and Jay,

so like, you need to realize

what just happened.

Actually, where they at?

>> Are they sitting outside?

>> The deliberation is over

and Jay and Jenna

hasn't said one word to us.

Are you out your [bleep] mind?

You better get your ass

over here and tell me thank you.

Let me talk to y'all.

>> What's cooking, sir?

>> I mean, for one, it's like,

you got to acknowledge

that we gave you a pass.

Like, bitch, thank you.

>> What do y'all got to say?

>> We both really appreciate

you not throwing us in.

We really do.

>> You have to look at it

like we gave you another chance

at life.

Because there's a--

there's another challenge,

and we need to be shown

the same respect

of not saying my name.

>> Leroy and Nia had every right

to throw me in.

They're showing

me enough respect

that they want that respect

to be shown back to them.

I'm not going in.

That's all that I

care about right now.

I can't say anything more

than thank you.

You know, like I said,

you have my word, so--

>> Good luck.

>> Once you show me your colors,

it's hard for me to forget,

and if they ever think

about saying our names again,

we will literally

kill him in Panama.

Like, he will not go home.

>> All right, everybody,

welcome back to The Dome

for your eighth elimination

round for this season

of Battle of the Exes II.

[applause]

Sounding a little light

these days.

[scattered chuckling]

>> First, we've got

to bring in the players.

So Jordan and Sara and Zach

and Jonna, come in.

>> Good luck, teams.

>> Good luck, guys.

>> Okay, guys, tonight,

you're playing Hammer It Home.

As you can see, behind me

there are two giant I-beams

on two tracks.

Your goal tonight is to hammer

that I-beam into the end zone

before your opponents.

Here's how it's gonna work.

When I say go, the guys

are gonna use that sledgehammer

to hammer the end of that I-beam

until it gets

to the halfway mark.

Once you hit that halfway mark,

the guys are then gonna hand off

the sledgehammer to the girls.

Then, it's the girls' turn.

The girls are gonna

try to hammer that I-beam

the rest of the way

into the end zone

and hit the bell.

First team to hit that bell

stays in the game.

Loser, you're out of here.

>> Well, I think this

is absolutely amazing for Zach.

Jordan has got to hold

a very large tool and swing it,

and I would be very handicapped

if I was only able

to use one of my hands.

>> Sound fun?

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Sarah, do you like this one?

>> I love all of them.

>> I know.

Good luck.

Make it happen.

>> Oh, man.

I want to hit

something so bad right now.

>> You said it.

>> I feel pretty good

about this one,

and I have a feeling

that I'm gonna be

able to swing a sledgehammer

a little better than Jonna can.

>> So if I can just stay close,

then I think Sarah

can hammer this thing home.

We're gonna get it done.

We're not gonna quit,

and that's all it takes to get

through these eliminations.

>> Right.

>> It is pretty ironic that I

resemble Thor a little bit

and I'm swinging a hammer.

>> I'm pretty confident in Zach.

This is something that's

definitely, like, his game,

so I think that he will give me

a very good head start.

>> All right, boys, you ready?

>> You got it.

You [bleep] got it.

[air horn beeps]

[deep thundering and clanking]

>> Right with him.

>> Strategy-wise, I know

that Zach has a ton of power,

however, I know

that swinging a sledgehammer

is more about efficiency

than power.

>> ♪ I'm where you want to be ♪

♪ And I can see straight ♪

♪ till the end ♪

>> This was made for you.

You've got this.

>> You're almost there.

>> ♪ All or it's nothing ♪

♪ We won't fall ♪

>> Ooh, Jordan.

Everyone else thinks

that Zach is gonna kill this,

but then, I look over at Jordan.

He's got the mechanics

of this down pat.

He actually looks really sexy

swinging the sledgehammer.

[driving rock music]

♪ ♪

>> Come on, Zach.

>> Keep going.

Keep going.

>> You got it.

>> I can feel the skin

peeling off my hands.

I'm literally

hitting this I-beam

so hard I can see sparks flying,

but it doesn't seem like

this beam is going anywhere.

♪ ♪

>> Zach decides that he's gonna

keep his hand

right at the top and just muscle

it, and we're just kind

of looking at him like,

"What are you doing, dude?

Swing that hammer

the right way."

Zach is officially

screwing this elimination up.

>> Pull!

You got this, Jordan!

[bleep], yes.

>> Zach is looking over

at Jordan, and he's panicking.

Jordan's killing this.

[sighs]

I'm nervous.

>> This episode

of The Challenge continues now.

>> [bleep], yes!

We are taking it home tonight.

Go.

>> Come on, Zach.

I know right now I

need to encourage Zach

so that he doesn't panic

and freak out.

This is a weird reverse

of roles.

Come on, Zach,

you're almost there.

>> Oh, we got it, Jordan.

We [bleep] got this.

>> Now it's time to really

hammer Zach into the ground,

let Sarah start out with a lead,

and let's go back to the house.

>> You're almost there.

He's giving out.

You're not stopping.

Go. Switch, switch.

Come back.

Jordan gets to the line first,

and he is not even rushing.

He hands me the sledgehammer

like we're playing

putt-putt golf.

It is unreal.

>> Come on, Zach, please,

just [bleep] do it.

>> Nice, Sarah.

>> Oh, my god.

>> Swing.

>> Just keep a pace.

>> Good, hit the beam

in the middle.

>> Just like that.

>> Let's go, ladies.

>> Keep going. Don't stop.

>> I literally give this

every single thing that I have,

and it's hard.

I feel like I can't keep going.

>> Keep it up, Sarah.

>> Let's go, come on.

Keep going. Keep pounding.

Keep pounding. Swing.

>> Good girl, Sarah.

>> Swing, swing.

>> You keep moving.

We're going home, baby!

We're going back to the house!

>> Swing, swing.

>> I might not be holding it

in the right place

but I'm not gonna

stop hitting it,

and if I can just keep it up,

I think we got this.

>> 2-foot left.

2-foot left, come on.

>> Swing, swing,

you got it, let's go!

You got it, yeah!

>> I'm extremely surprised

at how well Jonna's doing.

The one person on the team

that Zach's always

saying, "It's their fault."

Now the tables

have turned because Jonna

is picking up his slack.

>> Good job, Jonna, let's go.

You got this.

>> You got a foot! Let's finish.

>> Go, keep going!

Keep going. Yeah.

>> Hammer it home.

You got six inches now.

>> Let's go.

>> Inches, inches!

[air horn blasts]

>> Whoo! Yes!

>> Come here! Come here!

>> We did good! It was good!

>> Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

>> Good job, ladies.

>> Man.

>> both: Good job.

[laughter]

>> Hello, we just won.

>> Cloud nine--

Cloud nine, you know.

I couldn't be more proud

of Sarah.

>> And you too.

>> She got out there

and just laid

into that thing, did not stop.

We got each other's backs

no matter what.

No matter what kind of tiff

we're in at the house, we--

>> You'll make me cry.

>> We are gonna work together.

>> Your arms aren't even as big

as those sledgehammers.

You did a really good job.

>> You did awesome.

You're a tough competitor.

>> You're awesome.

>> Hold your head up.

>> Maybe I didn't get the money,

but you know what?

I needed this more than,

I think, anything.

To be honest, like,

I needed to close that chapter

of my life and move on, so--

>> Yeah, there'll be a lot

of moving on going on, so--

>> Well, technique definitely

won tonight's elimination round.

Jordan and Sarah,

you guys killed it tonight.

Go ahead and rejoin the group.

You're still going

for the big money.

Great job.

All right, Zach and Jonna,

unfortunately this

ends your stay here in Panama.

Take care, you guys.

>> Thanks, TJ.

>> I do think Zach

has feelings for me,

especially 'cause he

told me a billion times,

but we'll see where it goes.

>> Me and Jonna will not date.

That's way long distance,

and I can't do that.

>> Thanks, you guys.

>> Working with Jonna--

a lot of the time

it was an absolute nightmare.

I just want the best for her,

and I hope that as hard

and rough around the edges

as I am,

she realizes

that I was here for her.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Let's jog out of here.

Too tough.

>> I wanted to win the money

and make it to the end,

but walking away from this,

I gained something

that money can't even buy.

Coming here, I gained closure.

I gained respect for myself,

and I got the confidence back,

and I know that I can take

this and go on into real life

and, you know,

the world should be scared.

I'm ready.

>> All right, guys,

we're getting down to the wire.

I'll see you soon.

Get some rest.

>> Yeah.

[applause]

>> Oh.

>> I got to do it.

I got to do it.

>> Rico Suave.

>> Me--why do I

get to do cheers?

>> You made it.

>> I just filled them up.

>> Get over there, Jenna.

>> Come on, Jenna.

>> Jenna--sweet, white girl.

Girl, you so sweet.

With four teams left,

no matter how you made it here,

you did it.

So every single person

here has a reason

to give themselves a pat

on the back and be proud.

To the final four teams.

>> We got a little surprise

for you.

Each week, you guys

send couples to The Dome,

and they go home.

>> [bleep].

>> So you thought.

>> Oh.

>> Wow.

>> Ah.

>> This changes everything.

>> Good luck to all.

>> Yeah.

>> Final four.

>> Good night, baby.

Final four.

>> Next on The Challenge--

>> Each week, someone goes home.

So you thought.

Bring them out.

>> What the [bleep]?

>> This changes everything.

>> There are not words

to describe how bad-ass this is.

>> Nia, Miss

"I'm such an athlete"--

>> I can't.

I'm just an emotional wreck.
