Let’s get to recapping all the action and drama!
The bunker is still reeling fromlast week’s double male elimination thatsent Jordan and Bear home.
(Can it really be a blindside if Bear was picked as one of four Purgatory nominees?)

Josh is still convinced Wes is “coming after” him, so it’s hilariously misguided.
Wes isn’t concerned at all, because he doesn’t need to be.
And in a shocking turn of events, Dee is starting to question her self-described No.
MTV
1 girl ally Jenny running against her in the final, wondering if she should throw her into elimination.
Hm, maybe she should have thought of that when she handed Jenny her red skull earlier this season?
She tells this plan to Rogan, her self-described No.
MTV
And it’s clear that he no longer trusts Dee.
Will their weird alliance finally end like it should have when he tried to send her last season?
On to the challenge!
MTV
Played in teams, they’ll be dropped one-by-one down a hole into a system of tunnels.
Players must find and collect five puzzle pieces, run back, and solve the puzzle.
Whoever finishes fastest, wins.
MTV
And it’s another double elimination week, this time for the females.
Team 1: Fessy, Nelson, Kaycee, and Jenny.
Team 2: Bananas, Rogan, Kyle, Melissa, and Jenna.
MTV
Team 3: Wes, Cory, Bayleigh, Nany, and Dee.
Team 4: Josh, Swaggy, Aneesa, Mattie, and Kailah.
Degree of physical difficulty:Low.
MTV
Degree of mental difficulty:Moderate.
Potential for drama:High.
With these conditions, we are going to see someone freak out!
MTV
Winner:Team 3: Wes, Cory, Bayleigh, Nany, and Dee.
In the first heat, Melissa freaks out over the drop, but her team works well together.
Nelson still can’t swim, so Jenny and Fessy have to go back to help him.
Team 2 finishes the puzzle faster than Team 1.
In the second heat, Swaggy starts freaking out, shouting, “Help!”
A medic has to save him (even though he’s in a life jacket!
), and he gets disqualified.
Of course, Team 3 finishes before Team 4 … because Team 4 doesn’t even finish.
They can’t figure out the puzzle (and Swaggy’s helmet is on backward?
), so TJ puts them out of their misery.
Overall, Team 3 was the fastest to finish.
Tribunal:Wes, Cory, Bayleigh, Nany, and Dee.
I thought she had put all this drama on the back burner and was focusing on the game!
“I don’t blame him for not answering …
I’m the one that f—ed up,” she tearfully tells Nany.
You’re here fighting for the same shot your boyfriend had: to winThe Challenge.
Staying on the show to stick to your commitment is not f—ing up.
Could this be the end of the Holy Trinity alliance?
I’m excited to see what she’s got finally!
For the second loser pick, Aneesa votes for herself, wanting her shot at a red skull.
It’s the most polite, calm voting session ever.
She’s getting Nany and Bayleigh to do her dirty work for her.
I predict drama is coming because we haven’t seen it yet, even at nominations.
Rogan goes straight to Jenny to let her know what Dee’s planning because he’s had enough.
It’s all nonsense.
Security separates them, but Josh won’t stop screaming.
Then he climbs on top of the bar to keep yelling.
They all look like fools.
She says she wants to go in against Kaycee because she’s beat Aneesa before in elimination.
She wants to prove herself and beat someone she’s never beat before, a.k.a.
a “badass bitch” like Kaycee.
She’s angling to beef up herChallengeresume.
Hopefully, it works out for her like she wants.
The Tribunal votes Kailah to go against Kaycee (but Nany weirdly burned her vote on Jenny?
), and Jenna to go against Aneesa (again, Nany burned her vote on Jenny).
Not the best strategy!
Elimination challenge:Bombs Away.
Once their dumpster is empty, they have to hop out and detonate a smoke bomb.
First to detonate their smoke bomb wins.
Degree of physical difficulty:Moderate.
This is all upper body strength and endurance.
Degree of mental difficulty:N/A.
This is all physical.
Potential for drama:Low.
Winner:Kaycee and Aneesa.
In the first matchup, Kaycee destroys Kailah and gets all her bombs out quickly.
It wasn’t even close!
Bet Kailah’s regretting her request to go against her now.
But also … true.
They’re both heading home to some messy boyfriend drama.
Challenger of the week:Kaycee for showing no fear going into her first elimination and killing it.
Now I’m excited to see what she can do in a final!
