- Previously on "The Challenge"...
Ride-or-die partners set off on a quest
for their share of a $1 million prize.
- Let's go, baby!
- Grueling challenges and brutal eliminations...
Go! [air horn blows]
Put their partnerships to the test...
- Just give me the next one!
- Faysal and Moriah, you're now splitting up
all the ride-or-dies.
Until a twist in the game separated
ride-or-dies into opposite teams.
You got to be careful who you trust.
And individual players were eliminated,
or so everyone thought, because this season...
You live and die by your ride-or-dies.
So for those eliminated players whose partners
managed to stay in the game...
There's still a chance for you to get back in the game.
- Really?
- This is your shot. - What? Teej.
- They would have a lifeline.
- Yes! - Let's go!
- Did you miss me?
- To earn their way back into the competition.
- [bleep].
- And that time is right now.
But not all of you are going to get back in.
Tonight someone's going home for real.
Tonight you are playing Don't Let Me Down.
Go! [air horn blows]
- Together, guys. Keep it straight.
- Let's go, baby. Let's go!
- Why is this so difficult?
- I'm going to win this [bleep] right now.
- Hold it! [air horn blows]
- All right, that's it.
Congratulations, Faysal and Moriah.
You are the first pair back into this game.
Jordan, Aneesa, Kaycee, Kenny,
unfortunately for you two pairs,
you have another elimination tonight.
[dramatic music]
♪♪ ♪♪
- Kaycee, Kenny, Jordan, Aneesa,
welcome to round two of the elimination.
Loser goes home for good.
That's it. No more chances.
- Kaycee and Kenny, I want so badly for them to win.
Kaycee is always protecting me.
Kaycee is always supporting me.
I don't think I would still be here if it wasn't for her.
- I am praying that Kaycee makes it back into the game.
I just don't know what Nany's state of mind
is going to be if she loses Kaycee.
It could jeopardize our game at this point.
- This next elimination round is a "Challenge" classic,
one of my favorites.
It's called Knot So Fast.
[upbeat music]
To begin, you and your ride-or-die
are going to be attached to a rope.
Then when I say go,
you will go in, out, and around that cage,
making it as difficult as possible to undo.
Twist it, tangle it, knot it up,
because after 20 minutes, you're going to trade places.
And they're going to have to undo what you just did
and vice versa.
The pair to unweave their rope
and get it past the finish line line first
will win tonight's elimination round
and be the last pair that I'm saving tonight.
- [exhales deeply] - Got it?
- Got it. - Got it.
- All right, good luck.
- Good luck, guys. - Here we go.
- This is a true "Challenge" classic.
It takes strength. It takes endurance.
It takes strategy.
It takes every aspect that makes a good Challenger.
- I've played Knot So Fast before.
It's not an easy elimination.
It's definitely going to take communication.
I've never done it with another person.
- We're going to make this thing really tough.
And for my loss to affect Aneesa's game,
I feel really [bleep].
So we've got to get this win.
- We got to get back into the game.
In order for us to do that, we have to win this,
'cause if not, then we're going home.
♪♪ ♪♪
- All right, everyone ready?
Go! [air horn blows]
- You all right? - Yeah.
- I got it. I got it. I got it.
- This might be a little bit more tricky.
- Put your foot all the way up there.
- Hold on, Jordan. You have to wait.
- Uh-huh.
- Guys, you want to pull it all the way out of the cage.
This is going to come down
to the more nimble, athletic pair.
Kaycee and Kenny against the experience
that Jordan and Aneesa have in eliminations.
Aneesa's seen this before, so she knows what to do.
Kaycee and Kenny, however, have not--
no pun intended.
♪♪ ♪♪
- Pull it out the other side of the cage.
- Let's come out. Sorry, you okay?
- Good job.
- Our strategy is to use our endurance,
which is overall better than the other team,
to do crazy things
and make this as difficult as possible
so that it'd be hard for them to untie the whole thing.
- Kenny, looking good. Kaycee, that's how you do it.
♪♪ ♪♪
- As much as I love Aneesa and Jordan,
my money is on Kaycee and Kenny
because I truly feel like they are going to be able
to maneuver their bodies easier and more quickly
because they're similar size.
- Feet through.
Whole body.
Come on, we got to work on the rope.
We're going to start using this thing as two ropes
and weaving it, because if it all goes one way,
you can just back-trace and see where it goes.
But if you act as if there's a second end on the rope,
you can make it confusing.
♪♪ ♪♪
- Yeah, Aneesa. I like it.
- Did you hear me? - Yeah.
- I'm going down. - Which way you going?
- Going this way. Kenny.
- You guys don't have time to discuss.
You got to just [bleep] move.
- Well, we're tied together, so we kind of
need to have some kind of conversation.
- It's okay, baby. Keep going.
Kaycee and Kenny, for some reason,
it almost looks like it's harder for them
to move around than Aneesa and Jordan.
Jordan is smart and has, like, the best strategies
for things like this, and it worries me
because I wonder if Kaycee and Kenny
will be as strategic as Jordan and Aneesa.
- Come on. Come on.
- Coming. - Through.
Come on.
See how we're headfirst? Go face-first.
Face-first. Come on.
There you go. - Want me to roll out of this?
- Step over it. No, no, step over it.
Just be semi-athletic.
- [chuckles]
- We need to get all that in there.
I can't move without you. - Sorry.
- Pull it down. Keep going.
All the way over, Aneesa. We're never sitting.
- Fine. I'm just trying to-- - Come on. Yep.
It doesn't matter.
- Do you want me to come outside and pull?
- Whatever you want to do. Just do something.
- [chuckles]
- Jordan is taking the lead on this one.
He is pushing Aneesa.
It's just amazing to watch.
That's one of the reasons I actually look up to Jordan.
He's going to get the best out of you.
What Jordan and Aneesa are doing
does not look easy to take apart.
I'm really happy that Olivia and I
don't have to untangle their mess, because that's a jungle.

- Babe, just start weaving yourself
through the ropes inside the cage and just tie knots.

- Kaycee is carrying the team on her back.
- You're pulling away. Hold on.

They're siblings, but one is born an athlete,

- Good job, everyone. [applause]
- They did a good job.
- Nicely done.
- You will now switch ropes.
The first team to unweave their opponents' rope
and bring it all across the finish line will win.
- Compared to our side, I don't think Kenny
and Kaycee's side will be as hard.
I know that Kenny and Kaycee have shoved
a large amount of it on one side,
and if Jordan and I can just find out where this rope goes,
we can get that massive thing out, track the rest of it,
and we can win.
- Most people in this game
would never have a second chance.
It's been a long time waiting around,
and I'm excited to be back.
I have a chance to get back in. Let's go!
- All right, ready?
Go! [air horn blows]

- Kaycee and I--I don't feel like I'm on her side at all.
She would throw me in the second she could.
- One, two, three, go.
- But right away, Kaycee and Kenny are killing it.
They are doing everything right at untying these knots,
and Jordan and Aneesa seem to be struggling.
- This is over our heads. Stop, stop, stop.
- Okay, okay. - This one over our head.

- Kaycee and Kenny are killing it, dude.
Absolutely crushing it.
- My arms are shot.
The last rope I did was not this heavy.
This rope is so heavy.
It's like a rope on steroids. It's exhausting.
Jordan and I are harnessed together.
Like, it's just a lot.
We're going to have to move this.
Jesus Christ.
- Yeah.
- Do we have to move it through?
- Yeah.
- And Jordan's doing a lot of that work,
so I'm sure eventually it's going to wear on him, too.
- You got it. Come on.
Oh, yeah.
- Jordan, wait. - No, we're not waiting.
We are not waiting.
Let's go. Right here.
It's this rope right there. - I see you.
Just give me one [bleep] second.
- No. No seconds.

No. No. Through here.
Aneesa, come on. - Ow!

Just trust me. - Yeah, yeah.
No, I do trust you. - Stop talking.
Just go. - Let's go.
It's anybody's game. Let's go.
- Come on, Aneesa. We've done this.
Come on. You want to win?
We got this.
I just have to keep Aneesa in it.
I know we're tired, but now it's time to work.
Once we get that little nest they got on the bottom,
it's all going to open up.
- It's neck and neck. It's anybody's game right now.
It's really close, babe. Just keep it up.
Keep moving.

Everybody's going hard. I love it.
- Oh, [bleep].
I can't see. You got to pull.
- Can you go over there?
- Where's this going? Where's the next move?
I need to know the next move.
- We have one more chance to be able to fight our way back
into this house, and that is by winning
this Knot So Fast elimination.
We have to give it our all.
We've never had a game like this
in any of our family reunions, so...
- We should, though. - We should.

Inside of that bus are over 100 balls.
Each ball has a specific marking.
So one pair at a time are going to take
their place inside the bus.
When I say go, this bus is going to take off full speed,
careening down this racetrack, avoiding all these barricades
and cars and you name it.
Now, along this racetrack are a couple of signs
with the corresponding markings on them.
You're going to have to get a good look

Find the correct balls, place them in order,

And as soon as he touches that block,
I take off sprinting left.
- That's it, Jordan! - Wow! Wow!
- You're so strong!
- Now I'm 3/4 of the way there.
- Damn!
- Although Chauncey is super strong,
it doesn't matter how strong you are
if you do not have strategy.
And that's something that Jordan has.
- Listen, kids, work smarter, not harder.
Okay?
- Come on, Jordan! - Good job guys! Let's go!
- Nice! Dig, boys, dig!
- Come on, go now! - Go, Jordan!
- Go! Go! Go! - There you go, Jordan!
Oh, that's two!
That's two! - Smart.
- Right here! - Damn!
- Don't let him get that!
- Let's go!
- Two to one.

- Aneesa and Jordan coming back into this game
is essential because we are so close to this final.
It's right around the corner.
And you need everything you can get
to make sure you get there.
So we need our number ones back in this game.
- You got it. Come on, right here.
- Second chances do not come by often in this game.
So I'm not going to squander this second chance that I got.
I am taking Aneesa to a final for the first time
in 13 years.
You can bank on that.

She's just, like, my extra motivation to keep going.
I want to win for me. I want to win for Amber.
I want to prove myself.

Come on! - Get it, Jordan!

Jordan!

- We couldn't get it done.
I know Jordan and Aneesa, they've done this before.
This was our first time. We've never done this.
For them to be able to have that experience
is a huge advantage.
- It's just way more about strategy, you know,
and how to use and move the ropes...
- See how we're hitting first, go face-first.
There you go.
- Rather than heart and endurance,
which we both have.
- Good job, guys. - Good job, guys.
- We did pretty well, but not good enough.
- All right, that's it. [air horn blares]
- Good job.
I'm Nani's number one fan, her number one supporter,
and I want her to finish this game strong.
We're the only siblings and family and blood
in this game.
- Obviously, it's my first time here
and this [bleep] ain't easy.
It's definitely hard.
- Thank you for showing my brother a good time.
This is a great game.
Everyone up there, they deserve to be up there,
so, good luck to them.
I love you. Muah.

- I wanted to go against the best,
and I've said that since day one.
To do that and go in the Zone
and see what the best-- what they do,
what they could do, it's humbling
and it's--it was a blessing.
- Jordan and Aneesa are just beasts,
and it was almost an honor to go against them.
- Good job, Amber.
Way to fight.
- I think Jordan played it strategically,
and he went to one of his closer stacks,
knowing that I was close as well.
[all shouting]
- There you go, Jordan!
- Oh, that's two.
- That little shift change in what he did
was able to, you know, outrun me and beat me.
- Oh, my God!
[cheering] [air horn blares]
- I'm happy Aneesa's back in the game,
and Jordan, as well.
And I hope they can make it to the final.
- Great battle, you two. - Yeah.
- Great battle.
- Hell, no, this is not the last time
you'll see me on "The Challenge."
- I still have some unfinished business to do.
And that's to get to a final
and conquer my fear of heights.
And I feel like this is the only place to do so,
'cause I'm not gonna do that [bleep] at home.
So, nah, you guys will definitely see me back.
- Who wants it more?
- Jordan and Chauncey, this is a matchup
we all wanted to see.
They have two towers down. They're only missing one.
It's anybody's game right now.
- You can do it! - Right here.
- You can do it, Jordan!
- Oh, my God. - Damn!
- Wow. - Good job.

I'm gonna live in Chauncey's dreams forever.

Get the [bleep] over here, Jordan!

Yes! Yes!

What? - Wow, dude.

this is what separates rookies from champions,
in moment, real-time adjustments
that get you the win.
- Good job, Chauncey! Way to fight!
Good job, Jordan!
- Great battle. - Yes. Yes.
- Wow.
- "The Challenge" doesn't cater to just big, strong alphas.
You have to find the shtick to every game.
And he who finds it first usually wins.
- Damn. Amazing.
- I mean, look,
when TJ says clock in, it's time to clock in.
- Yeah. - And the sand means...
both: Clock in. - [laughs]
- I'm still in shock. I had to set the tone for us.
- Yes. It got me juiced. - Yeah.
- Clean sweep. - Yeah.
- Good fight, Chauncey!
- Amber and Chauncey, great game, guys,
but you did this to yourselves.
You vote yourself into an elimination,
and it's not going to be cute.
Maybe this is a lesson learned.
- Well, Amber, Chauncey,
unfortunately, you lost tonight's elimination round.
So this ends your time here on "The Challenge,"
but I am positive that we are gonna see you, Amber,
and you, Chauncey.
- [laughs] - We love you, Chauncey!
- Love you! - You kicked ass, bro.
- Aw. - You kicked ass.
- You win some, you lose some.
What's keeping our head up high
is that we made it this far in the game,
and we just lost to two badasses.
Can't complain about that.
I love you guys all,
and this has been nothing but an amazing experience,
and, yeah.
- My rookie girls, make the [bleep] final.
Everyone else, too. Good luck.
Chauncey and I didn't make it to a final together,
and we were so close.
But I'm not mad at the game. I'm not mad at us.
I'm so proud at how he played,
and I'm proud of my ride-or-die.
- Thank you, love you. - Take care, you guys!
- I love you all!
- I feel like this made our relationship stronger.
I feel like this made us know more what we want.
- This is my person, too. I second that.
I know we're leaving here tonight empty-handed.
