And that realization is changing the entire game only four episodes in.
My initial fears that this season would be boring to watch have been assuaged!
This weeks episode picks up, of course, immediately after Ninjas now-iconic win over Laurel.

Hes feeling the heat, especially since Team U.S. is still pissed about him throwing last weeks challenge.
So Bananas strategy is to confirm anyone aligned with Paulie (a.k.a.
And of course, Josh immediately tells Paulie, who straight-up refuses.
At one point, Bananas even yells, I amThe Challenge!
Sounds like the right call for everyone involved.
Cara Maria is not pleased, though.
She doesnt like seeing her boyfriend Paulie working with Bananas.
Then, players will ride the zipline as far as they can until they fall into the water.
Next, they have to swim around a buoy and on towards a boat.
When they hit the boat, their time stops.
All players times will be added up and the team with the fastest total time wins.
Everyones run will count, so its not just about who has the quickest player.
Degree of physical difficulty:High.
Otherwise, theyll fall into the water and have to swim an extremely far distance.
That means players who are not strong swimmers really have to make it onto the zipline.
Degree of mental difficulty:N/A.
This is all physical.
Potential for drama:Medium.
Plus, its a guy elimination week.
So how did everyone do individually?
The fastest times were: Team U.K. rookie Jenny and Team U.S. vet Jordan.
Is she really just that bad at swimming?
Idris misses the zipline.
Paulie beats Joss in their individual matchup because Joss was tightening his carabiner instead of loosening it at first.
Ashley hooks her zipline while Dee misses it, and Ashley beats her.
Rogan actually beats Turbo in one of the more shocking heats!
Turns out Turbo cant swim long distances?
Weve officially found a weakness in the Terminator, people!
Bananas smokes Theo in their heat.
Georgia misses her zipline but still beats Nany by making up for lost time with her swimming.
Theo doesnt really have a leg to stand on here.
It ends up biting him in the ass, as the votes send in Theo.
They would potentially have the votes!
Is she … faking tears while talking about Bananas?!
That is diabolical and honestly not something weve ever seen from her.
He promises he wants to do whatever it takes to make Team U.K. weaker and Team U.S. stronger.
His suspicions prove correct, as Jordan votes for him.
Cara votes for Bananas, saying hes the U.K.s strongest player.
So it all comes down to Paulie.
Paulie, your name is definitely now on the chopping block for future eliminations.
This was not smart, both for your team and for you!
Elimination challenge:Die for me.
First person to detonate the eighth land mine wins.
Degree of physical difficulty:High.
This one is mostly physical and will require players to not gas out early.
Plus, Theo is about 65 and those cages aretiny!
Degree of mental difficulty:Low.
Players just have to keep focus and not match the wrong numbers.
One wrong move could set them back minutes.
Potential for drama:High.
Once again, whoever wins this elimination is going to change the game.
If Bananas wins, hes already promised to join Team U.K. Plus trust has never been lower on each team.
All Theo has to do is just roll to the finish line, and he pulls off the win.
Bananas leaves with a promise that we will see this face again, so hes not retiring just yet.
The curse still lives!
And Theo chooses to stay with Team U.K.
I predict great things for herChallengefuture after this impressive showing.
The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
