It’s a smart move!
Nominations
After lots of scrambling and mini-meetings, the players finally get to nominations.
Tori kicks it off by nominating herself, and everyone votes for her.

His bullying was not a good look.
As Wes rightly surmised, there’s no guarantee that what Tori wants is what’s going to happen.
The Holy Trinity’s first plan still stands, and it could be Tori v. Jenny in round two.
MTV
Every time he tries to make a move or announcement, he just ends up looking dumber.
Like Kyle says, he’s just digging his hole for the next men’s elimination.
Get this guyout of here.

They get into it and Nelson tries to play it off but dude, you brought it up!
She officially puts her name on the board as the Purgatory nominee and everyone disperses.
But of course, Nelson isn’t done being a jerk.
MTV
He blames the bunker for making him lose it.
Nelson’s blow-up helps repair Bear and Kailah’s relationship.
What a perfect time for another night out!
MTV
She reveals she has a girlfriend back home but Nany’s caught her eye.
It’s what longtime fans have wanted for Nany for years!
Aneesa tries to “save” Kaycee’s relationship by stepping in, and Nany overhears it.
MTV
Aneesa tries to walk away, and Nany pulls her back.
They immediately get separated.
He promises that he always tries in challenges, and they come to a truce.
MTV
Both couples hug it out.
Nany’s clearly still drunk and angry, and things escalate.
Aneesa gets emotional, and Nany throws her Cup Noodles at her.
The next morning, Nany cleans up the noodles on the carpet and Nelson finally apologizes to Kailah.
She’s not wrong!
After all that drama, it’s finally time to get back to the game.
The Tribunal meets and decides Nany gets first refusal since she won the challenge.
Jenna gets second refusal since they put her in the Tribunal to give her that shot.
Nany then reveals she’s backtracking on her plan to throw in Jenny, which is disappointing.
Jordan wants Dee to go in against Tori since she voted in Jenny the first time.
Nany says Kailah gets a second spot since they want to give her the chance at a red skull.
), but it’s awful to see Jenna sit and take it.
He gives her an ultimatum: if she doesn’t leave the show, they’re done.
Again, what a poor showing from a formerChallengechamp who knows how TJ feels about quitters.
Purgatory elimination
Walking into Purgatory, Nany immediately decides she’s not doing it.
She’s here to compete for the red skull, and he’s satisfied.
She’s putting herself first, and it’s a great moment for her.
Elimination challenge:Dust to Dust.
Players must retrieve bricks, run them up a ramp, and smash them through a grate.
Debris will fall into a wheelbarrow, which players will then roll over to their bin.
The first to completely fill their bin with debris wins.
Degree of physical difficulty:High.
This is all strength and endurance.
Degree of mental difficulty:N/A.
This is all physical.
Potential for drama:Low.
Winner:In a crazy upset, Jenna bests Tori!
But Jordan still runs hot, screaming on the sidelines, visibly throwing her off.
It comes down to the final wheelbarrow, which Jenna pushes into her bin a split second before Tori.
He cries about her leaving but she tells him to stay strong.
She’s got such a good attitude taking the loss, but he can’t let it go.
From the outside looking in, you’d think it was Jordan who lost and Tori comforting him.
Because she’s staying, and with her red skull, she now has a ticket to the final.
Could this finally be Jenna’s shot at winningThe Challenge?
If Zach really loved her, he would realize that and support her.
She earned that trip to the final.
