Hey, what girl doesn't like being number one?

- Ashley just gives me this look like, "Mmm."

All right, I know where this is going.

First challenge of "Rivals III,"

and guess who comes out victorious--Vince and Jenna.

We just showed everybody that we're a dominant team.

- Vince is acting like he is the king of all kings.

- Come on, man, come on, swim over here and get this for me.

- Vince wants to beat Banana so bad and this is his--

- Vince does? - Yeah.

- This is his chance. - So he wants to, like,

puff up his chest a little bit

and he's new and he's got that ego.

- What do y'all think they're gonna do though?

Do you think Vince is gonna pick or are they gonna let--

- They're either gonna send me in

or they're gonna send in Nate.

- And he's gonna ask his cousin what to do.

"Johnny, what do I do?"

- If I was him, I would vote for me.

This is their chance. - Exactly.

- Johnny Bananas and I have

a almost decade-long relationship.

We always find ourselves of different sides of the line,

and we're almost always going against each other

like two big collegiate rivalries.

- Well, my back is hurting really bad.

And this pain is running all the way from my ass

all the way down to my calf.

For me to ask to see the doctor,

I have to literally be in so much pain I can't do anything.

- On a scale of one to ten, how strong is this pain?

- It's probably, like, a eight.

- 'Cause his back? Okay, okay.

He's going to the hospital? I did not know that.

- Hands here. - [bleep].

I don't know because we don't talk.

I don't know. I'm worried now.

I'm a little worried.

Are you really going to the hospital?

- Yeah. I mean, it's not nothing that

I won't be able to compete on, but...

- Yeah, I'm a little worried now.

But I don't care, like, I'm obviously worried

about the competition, but I'm a little worried about you.

Like, I want you to be all right.

- I'm more worried about the competition than myself.

I'll be fine.

No matter what a doctor says, I'm gonna tough it out

just because of the fact that I want to win the money.

- If he doesn't come back, I have to go.

And I don't want to go.

- How you feeling? - Jessica sucks.

Exactly what I didn't want to happen, happened.

- Yeah. - I wanted to see her

at least not have fear.

- She literally freaked out and just kinda jumped off.

- She did the buckle the knees thing and she gave up.

- Her not having any confidence...

- Back, back, back, back. [screams]

- And Johnny showing absolutely zero interest

in boosting her confidence...

- [bleep] you, Johnny. - It's not a good sign.

- I was like, "Jessica, the one thing I ask of you was

"I need to see you perform. And here you are with me

and we're [bleep] on the brink of going home first."

Honestly, I just don't give a [bleep].

Like, I really don't care to see Jessica go anywhere.

And if that means my own [bleep] downfall, then [bleep].

- Cheyenne said, "Don't," you know,

"Don't trust your partner."

- Yeah.

- It's like the only time he wants to communicate with me

is when he has something ugly to say.

- Jessica. - What?

- Come over here for a minute.

- I don't want to go over there. What up, Tony?

- What up? What up?

I cannot handle this anymore.

And I'm, like, sitting here hearing you

trash talk me to other people.

That's not okay. Like--

- Well, let's forget about that

'cause we're in elimination, so...

- We are, but it seems like the only time you want to [bleep]

talk to me is when you have something [bleep] to say.

- Yeah. 'Cause I'm pissed.

You're not [bleep] pissed 'cause we lost today and we're

going to elimination? - I'm pissed too.

But I know that our team moral matters more

than [bleep] saying [bleep] to people who don't give a [bleep]

about us and don't give a [bleep] if we stay here or not.

- Oh, my goodness. - I'm telling you how I feel

so I can leave it here when we go to elimination.

So I can know without a doubt that you're gonna be there.

You're gonna be supportive and you're not gonna be like,

"Oh, [bleep] I got stuck with her.

Well this sucks." 'Cause you know deep down

I'm not a [bleep] competitor.

You could have got stuck with a lot worse.

- I'm gonna be in that elimination,

I think it just shows that he is very sensitive,

and he does care about our friendship,

and he takes what I have to say to heart.

I know you're my best friend, and I know that, regardless,

we're gonna get through it, but I shouldn't have done that.

The devil came out.

[upbeat music]

- I would never say we suck.

I'm doing "The Challenge" because I've been known

to be scared of everything in the whole, wide world.

So I'm ready to prove to myself that I can actually go out

kinda like a daredevil, which I'm the opposite of.

I never have done competitive sports.

All I ever did was, like, cheerlead

and model and look cute.

I don't even know how to ride a bike.

I've never been on a roller coaster.

- So we need to teach you how to ride a bike.

Let me tell you, Cheyenne, boy, does she look like Rihanna,

and that's my dream girl. That's love at first sight.

I'm just hoping she does well.

I came in the game the same way you did.

I got second place last season.

- I don't like failing at anything.

- So you're here to prove people wrong.

- Not people. I guess myself.

Like, I'd rather, like, show myself, like,

I can do things that are, like, aren't always safe.

- There's no such thing as failing if you keep trying.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna buy a bike.

- [laughing]

- I'm gonna teach you how to ride a bike.

That's step one.

- Cory seems like a nice, young man

that I should stay far away from.

Every time I turn around, Cory just seems to be there,

which isn't a bad thing to look at.

that means you're staying here in The Jungle with me,

So, Devin and Cheyenne,

you guys are staying in The Jungle tonight

against Johnny and Jessica.

- Chey, she's gorgeous.

Now I kinda want to see if she can fight in this Pit.

And it's gonna turn me on a little bit to see her compete,

so I'm excited.

- Jess is going into elimination.

Man, I hope she makes it back.

Coolest girl in the house,

and I hate to see her go this early.

- I think that Devin and Cheyenne have it.

This reason is is 'cause of Jessica.

Jessica is not good at this stuff.

- I just see her falling off the wall

on "Exes II" with Dustin.

- [bleep]. Ahh!

- I see her on television

losing and falling into water with Anastasia.

[all yelling]

I see her getting sent home in "Free Agents."

I see Jessica--bad things, bad things, stop.

- Tonight, you guys are playing Back It Up.

Now, as you can see, there are four walls

in the middle of The Jungle.

Two of these walls have shelves on them

for these ceramic pots, and here's how it's gonna work.

To begin, you guys are going to start

with your backs against the wall facing each other.

And when I say go, you're gonna take one piece of pottery,

put it in your lap,

then you're gonna put your feet on the opposite wall,

and you and your partner are going to work together

to shimmy up that wall,

and put that pot at the very top.

Now, if you drop that pot,

you're gonna have to come all the way back down

and start over, so be very careful.

The first team to get three pots to the top

will win tonight's elimination round

and stay in the game.

This is the first elimination round.

You don't want to go home already, right?

Okay.

Good luck, you guys. Make it happen.

an insane team-building moment.

We're just looking to get it done.

- Wedge yourself. Hold on to the pot.

not accepting Jessica, not believing in her,

including me, and I'm extremely proud of her.

Good work. - Good job, Devin.

Keep your head up.

We were doing everything we could,

and we went up against a couple studs.

It's like you let another person down.

Like, if this was an individual thing,

I think I'd be good, but when you have a teammate,

it kind of sucks.

and the better team won.

Congratulations. Go ahead and rejoin the group.

- Having my first elimination win

is the best feeling I've ever had in my entire life.

It's better than your first kiss.

It's better than your first love.

It's better than a chocolate bar.

Unfortunately for you, couldn't get it done tonight.

So, this ends your time here in Mexico.

Take care, you guys.

I now understand the nuances,

it would be a completely different game.

I learned a ton about myself.

I learned a lot about Devin.

If there's ever a redemption tour,

call us up 'cause we'll be there.

The Jungle is not a place you want to compete in.

I'll see you at the next challenge.

I went from feeling like nothing,

to feeling like I had the dream team.

- No, we're still rivals. We're not friends.

I'm not gonna buy you a drink going out tonight.

I'm probably not even going to talk to you, to be honest.

I'm sorry, but I'm not. But good win, kid.
