Let’s recap the action!
And Jenna thinks Zach is going to forgive her if she comes home with a million dollars.

Just a lot of eyebrow-raising things happening right now.
Could it be as simple as the first eight (or 10, 12, etc.)
with red skulls who are still in the game (RIP Jay) automatically make it to the final?
MTV
This is why it’s important to get your red skull as soon as possible!
Degree of physical difficulty:Low.
There’s a little bit of speed necessary here but the focus is more on mental than physical.
MTV
Degree of mental difficulty:Moderate.
This is all memorization, which shouldn’t be difficult.
But then again, we know how these players perform in mental tasks.
MTV
Potential for drama:High.
Winner:Mattie and Wes.
Despite that, Wes still finishes first in that round working alone, with Mattie finishing second.
Fessy still finishes first and Dee finishes second.
Big T finishes second.
The two fastest men were the unholy alliance of Wes and Bananas, with Wes beating Bananas.
Tribunal:Mattie and Wes, and their choice for the third member is… Bananas!
Will this finally expose their shadow deal?
And Kailah’s already made up her mind.
The Tribunal will then pick four guys to interrogate.
Big words from a rookie!
He’s voted in for the first elimination, with Bear and Nelson also getting some votes.
But his lies have been exposed and he’s voted in as the second pick.
Security gets involved, Melissa starts yelling at Nelson about how he has no respect for women (true!
Producers tell her she needs to go to the hospital for some stitches and she’s freaking out.
She ends up getting three stitches in her toe but she’s back at the bunker that same night.
For the first pick, Bananas and Wes both decide not to go against Fessy.
The Tribunal picks Jordan to go against Fessy.
Not surprising given who’s voting, but still that’s cold.
Kailah’s pissed and Bear is shocked.
Elimination challenge:Pole Wrestle.
Players must hold onto the same pole and make a run at wrestle it away from each other.
First person to wrestle it away two out of three times wins.
Degree of physical difficulty:High.
A classic headbanger, this is all strength and endurance.
It’s grueling and usually gets pretty violent.
Degree of mental difficulty:N/A.
This is all physical.
Potential for drama:High.
And Nelson vs. Bear is actually a stacked lineup as they’re both proven elimination performers.
This could be anyone’s game.
Winner:Fessy and Nelson.
It costs him, and Fessy gets the second point.
This was just one the elimination he couldn’t win.
But time for elimination No.
This time it’s more evenly matched and Nelson gets the first point.
And despite Bear trying to play dirty, Nelson gets the second point as well.
That means Fessy and Nelson now have red skulls along with Rogan, Jenna, Jenny, and Dee.
This is already looking like it’s going to be averyweird group in the final.
