Stay tuned after the episode for the final words
from the eliminated challengers.
♪♪ MTV. ♪♪
OLIVIA: Being that we're almost
halfway through this game, I still feel pretty good.
I definitely am seeing the UK alliance
slowly fade away,
not just by people but their morale.
It's kind of a good thing for us.
But I do have a little worry
with Colleen and Ravyn.
When they realize they're not on people's top three,
they are going to start rioting together.
RAVYN: Wait, get over here.
I wish it was me.
MICHELE: No. No.
-I feel so bad. -You have to be here for Vienna.
MICHELE: Even though me and Melissa
are not working on the same side
in this particular game,
her mental health
and her feelings are still important to me.
Seeing Melissa right now
go through kind of the loss of her best friend in here,
I want to make sure that she feels supported.
-I just feel bad. -RAVYN: Wait, don't feel bad.
MICHELE: But-but she didn't die.
-It feels like she did. -MICHELE: I know.
It's going to be so weird with her, like...
I know.
MELISSA: Everyone's got their alliances and everything and I'm like,
who's going to have my back now?
MICHELE: I know.
I'd like to hope that I've got Kyland,
James and Asaf.
I need to remember that everyone's here to win
and if I don't start winning challenges,
I really am in trouble.
♪♪ ♪♪
(clock ticking)
It is getting down to the nitty-gritty.
-Yeah. -Um...
You know, essentially, we're a third of the way.
People are questioning you and I
because you're so close to Melissa.
Obviously, people are like, wait, what side is he on?
But I'm like, you just saw even the vote he did
against Big T.
I'm not doing anything
that you guys haven't sanctioned.
I think they look at it as, like,
Olivia, Nurys, Michele, Jay, Ed
as the center...
-Mm-hmm. -...and you and I on the outside.
HORACIO: People are questioning Kyland and me
because we don't follow the "alliance."
Because I'm close to Kyland now,
they're like, wait, whose side is he on?
I'm not on either side.
I am riding my own lane
and I'm going to trust who I want to trust
and play who I want to play with.
We're all thinking next challenge
is going to be guys' day, right?
That's what we all have in mind.
KYLAND: Yeah, yeah, 100%, yeah, we all know.
We have to run. (laughs)
Yeah.
♪♪ ♪♪
MORIAH: I'm not being as emotional as last season.
-I want to make the final. Like, that's the bottom. -Yeah.
That's what everything's about here in this game.
Like, I trust him 100%.
I'm already making someone look bad.
I'm also making myself look bad.
Moriah and Johnny obviously had their romance last season
and it has continued
up until this moment.
She's obviously okay with those consequences,
um, because I don't see her and James stopping anytime soon.
It's a scary position to be in.
It also gives you a clear answer that, like, Johnny
-just isn't your person. -Yes. Yes, that was...
to me this was a clear answer
of that I can't be with Johnny.
Are you sad?
MORIAH: I'm going with the flow
and, like, just taking everything day by day.
-Yeah. -But it's scary because you really don't know
how people truly are.
A lot of people are telling me to call Johnny
and to let him know right now.
But I don't want to rip someone's heart apart
and then have to hang up the phone.
I'm just waiting till after this final
when I could just come clean and tell him that I'm sorry.
James is my number one.
Zara, um...
I-I don't know, I-I'm just thinking about it.
OLIVIA: Yeah.
Moriah, she's kind of all over the place.
She is having a crazy romance with James.
She's becoming best friends with ZaZa
and I'm kind of questioning her loyalty at this point.
Are you abandoning everything that we had planned,
following James and going off the deep end?
Listen, that's what happened till this point.
Non-Americans be now out. Right?
-We are targets now. -Yeah.
And we need to be prepared for that.
ASAF: So, our only ways to win are the challenges.
I think so.
Me and Asaf made an agreement on day one.
Because we're both parents,
we're gonna have each other's back.
The lucky thing with your son is he's young enough
-to not realize you're gone. -He's 13 months.
But he's always, always say,
"Abba, Abba, Abba. Abba is dead."
MELISSA: Asaf said to me,
"Your name will never come out of my mouth.
I will always have your back. I support you. You support me."
We've been here for a while.
And it's just getting harder and harder,
and it's emotionally draining.
I'm a parent like you, so...
whenever you need to talk, you can talk to me.
-I know. It's hard for me, too. -Thank you.
Like, for real.
Melissa,
she's a parent like me,
and I don't want her to lose her spot in this game.
But she doesn't know that I'm working with the U.S. people.
She thinks that I'm like her--
working with nobody.
She has zero suspicious about me.
Am I the new Devin?
-We play the game. -Me, too. I'm always here for you.
-So now it's getting hard now. -Whew.
EMANUEL: Do you work as a...
-s... psychologist? -Psychologist?
Tell me something about me
by just watching this.
(giggles)
I don't know.
(laughs): I (bleep) have no idea.
(laughing)
COLLEEN: Emanuel,
I really like him.
He's one of my favorite persons here.
EMANUEL: Do you like working with people?
I want to help people to see their potential.
I grew up in an environment
that was not very supportive.
Oh.
I always had the feeling that they hold me small.
Someone said to me,
"Don't dream too big."
And I was like, "There's never a dream too big."
I think that motivated me so much
to get mentally and physically strong.
EMANUEL: My parents got divorced when I was 13, and...
-we never had anything. -Oh, same.
Like, we were just so poor.
Me and my brother used to wear the same pants
for four years in school.
I love these kind of stories, because I think
maybe that's the same for me and for you--
that it doesn't matter where you come from,
it's what you make out of your qualities, your skills.
Yeah, exactly.
Colleen is not just a pretty girl.
She is tough.
Um, she's funny.
I trust her. Right now,
it is important for me to win this challenge
and keep her in the game as long as I can,
because she's one of my numbers.
She's one of my allies.
Just-just don't think.
-My imagination's not the best. -Just don't think.
Just put a pen on the paper
and don't think.
He held Colleen's hand on the bus.
(bleep) off.
-Yes. -(gasps)
MELISSA (laughs): What?!
MELISSA: Emanuel has made advances
to many people in the house, including myself.
He's tried to kiss me twice.
Whoops. (laughs)
Naughty Emanuel.
Naughty. Put it back in your pants.
Who's gonna fall for it first?
-(laughing) -MELISSA: Yeah.
-Me?! -RAVYN: Already has.
OLIVIA: Emanuel is very funny. He's loud.
He's crazy. And...
it's entertaining. A girl can only say, uh,
you know, "no," for so long.
How did I not know this?
-How funny. -Because I didn't want to tell anyone.
But now I guess I told you guys, so now you know.
-(laughing) -This is like a ginormous incestuous family.
-NURYS: Yeah, it really is. -OLIVIA: Oh, yeah, it is. It is.
-Oh, my God. -NURYS: Welcome to the Challenge house.
-(laughing) -RAVYN: He just literally tells me all the time
he dreams about me and...

Welcome to your ninth challenge.
We're on level two, Chaos.
To be the best, you got to beat the best.
And I'm not gonna lie,
the champ I have in store for you
is one of the GOATs.
So you need to win today to guarantee
your safety. Today's challenge
is sick, all right?
It is called Doom Sticks.
♪♪ ♪♪
It's basically three mini challenges all mixed into one.
And it is gonna be played
in seven teams of two,
with one team having three
since we have an odd number. For the first one,
it's called Speed Sticks.
On one end of the course, you have a rack of five sticks.
On the other end, you have an empty rack.
You'll grab one stick at a time.
You'll race from the starting line
to the empty rack,
place it,
race back and tag your teammate.
But here's the catch-- before you return, you can grab
one stick from any team
and bring it back to their starting rack.
You can sabotage other teams.
I'm absolutely stressed about the fact
that I'm working with everybody, because...
you kind of have to show your cards.
TJ: You're gonna continue this process
until there's only one team left.
The losing team will be cut from the rest of the day.
The winning team will then select two more teams
-to sit out. -Uh-oh! -This is bad.
TJ: Yeah. Only five teams are gonna be moving on.
-(groans) -Chaos.
OLIVIA: Knowing that people are going to be cut
after every event is a little nerve-racking.
It's definitely gonna show
who is really truly working
with their alliance or not.
Right now, I still feel
like I'm safe.
But with Chaos,
you honestly just never know.
TJ: Only five teams
are gonna be moving on.
-(groans) -ZARA: Doom Sticks
is like an onion.
There's lots of layers to this challenge.
It's a partner challenge, so let's hope
I'm put with some good people.
TJ: Let's pick these teams.
NURYS: TJ is randomly picking teams today,
and he decides to put me and Horacio together. I'm like,
"Is this really random or have you been, you know,
watching us from your window?"
JAMES: We need to win today.
You know, our back's against the wall.
UK alliance--
the numbers are dropping.
I feel like it's a mans' day.
Yeah, I'm in the firing line again.
I hope it's not hurting me. Please.
Two days ago, I did something to my groin.
I'm targeting Horacio and Kyland.
You know, they've already said my name.
I have to teach them a lesson.
All right, ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go!
MELISSA: Go, go, go!
KYLAND: Go.
Michele doesn't want to sabotage any teams,
but I can't imagine anybody who would have
any reason to sabotage us.
(panting)
KYLAND: Who took one of ours?
BERNA: It's not against
Michele whatsoever.
I love Michele so much.
But Kyland has to go.
The (bleep)? The (bleep)?
This is (bleep). Don't touch my (bleep).
-MORIAH: Go, Jay! -HORACIO: I need you to hurry!
I need you to hurry, Nurys!
(yelps)
All of a sudden, I feel Emanuel tiptoeing behind me
and put the pole back in my slot.
I'm pissed, 'cause now
not only did I just get sabotaged
but now I have to run a third time.
-Go, ZaZa! -ASAF: Go, ZaZa!
TJ: Good job, good job. -RAVYN: Let's go! Let's go!
ASAF: ZaZa, go!
COLLEEN: Asaf, Zara and Ravyn-- that is
the perfect trio for this challenge,
because they are all very smart.
No, not smart. Not-- I-I didn't mean "smart."
Fast. (laughs)
They are not smart. It's not the smartest team.
-Yeah, team! -ASAF: Whoa!
Good job.
MELISSA: Got it? Run!
Yo!
Melissa and James being so close
to winning just proves that you can't count anyone out.
This girl is here to play.
(panting)
You're all gonna die a slow, painful death.
(air horn blows)
All right. Good job. Nice work.
Assholes!
MICHELE: The complication of being paired
with Kyland is that, obviously,
I want to make sure that I'm safe,
but I also want to make sure that Kyland is vulnerable.
So, sorry, Kyland.
Congratulations to Ravyn,
Asaf and Zara. I need you
to select two more teams to leave behind.
Listen, you want a minimum damage.
Zara wants
Ed and Colleen out because they're strong.
She doesn't know that I work with the Americans.
I don't want the other alliances to know about it.
We're coming to a compromise right now.
I don't want to give Melissa an opportunity to win.
Melissa's the only one that I have beef with.
Melissa needs to go.
I ended up saying Melissa last time, and you know what she did?
-She threw a drink in my face. I don't trust her. -ASAF: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ZARA: Ravyn wants to get Melissa out
purely because she threw a drink in her face,
and honestly, I understand that.
I can't back Melissa up because if someone did it to me,
I would want the same courtesy.
Okay, so, Asaf, Zara, Ravyn, what's your decision?
We decided on James and Melissa
and Colleen and Ed.
Ooh.
It was almost really impossible. The miscommunication was hard,
but it is what it is.
There are so many contenders
that are part of my alliance, so,
I feel... safe.
TJ: James and Melissa...
-JAMES: Yo. -TJ: ...Colleen and Ed,
you'll be joining Kyland and Michele on the sidelines.
MELISSA: I'm regretting not sabotaging them already
because now I've put my complete trust in Asaf.
Let's head to event two.
-Please do have my back. -I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Please do have my back if it's a girls' day.
-Please, remember we're parents. -Of course.
All right, this is event two--
Power Sticks.
Teams are going to have to pull a sled across a course.
At each end are heavy sticks.
Each time you reach an end,
you'll grab a heavy stick, making it harder
and harder as you go.
First team to collect all their sticks
and pull it across the start line will win that event.
EMANUEL: I am going to try
to protect Berna's leg
and pull the sled as much as I can.
We cannot be the last place.
We have to stay in the game.
All right, everyone ready?
-(air horn blows) -Go.
OLIVIA: I got it.
(panting)
(grunts)
-(grunts) Wait for it. -Oh, my bad.
Asaf, slow down.
RAVYN: My legs are cramping up. Every inch
that I take, I feel like I cannot breathe.
Turn around.
ED: Jay or Emanuel,
I hope you guys can pull this out and win one for us.
I know they're not the biggest guys out there on the field.
So I don't know how this is going to go.
Here we go.
Horacio's looking like a gladiator.
All abs are shining, and everything's perfect.
And he's like, "Yes, this is it. I've got it."
And Nurys is like, "Go, go. You got it."
I think Nurys was helping.
She always tries to help at least.
Nurys, I love you. Please don't kill me. (laughs)
-(panting) -Together.
Aah! We're so (bleep).
MORIAH: We got movement. Push it, Jay!
Me and Jay are gonna have to freaking work like a horse.
We're running in place right now.
Aah! Damn! Oh!
BERNA: Normally,
I am built for these kind of games. I love to run.
My groin is telling me, "You have to rest."
Here, I'm strong, but this is so painful.
Aah!
ZARA: It's absolutely exhausting.
My forearms have flared up.
If our team loses,
Ravyn and I are definitely going to be on the chopping block.
HORACIO: The dog is still hungry.
One, two. Aah!
-Let's do this. -Keep going!
This is baloney. Just finish out, Jay.
Pull the damn thing to the end. You don't stop.
I've never seen you quit on anything.
This is an embarrassing showing.
Turn it around. Let's go, let's go, let's go!
JAY: Come on.
MICHELE: Jay and Moriah, my two number ones--
it's like watching Dumb and Dumber
try to figure out a math equation.
This is not good for them.
I want to see you working it all the way to the end
like you're supposed to.
-Come on. -We're almost there, y'all.
-Put in the work. -This is it!
(whimpering, panting)
HORACIO: Even though we lost,
I am extremely, extremely proud of Nurys.
I think people don't give her enough credit.
She's a very, very strong
overall competitor.
It's just, like, I failed.
I feel like I let her down in a sense.
All right. Congratulations,
Ravyn, Asaf and Zara.
You won the second event.
-Jay and Moriah, you were unable to finish. -Yeah.
So, you are out. All right?
Now, Ravyn, Zara and Asaf,
select two teams to knock out of the challenge.
OLIVIA: Although I'm not sure
if it's going to be a male or female elimination,
I still feel pretty safe,
but you honestly just never know.
If Asaf is trying to go for Corey or Horacio,
then we're going to have a problem.
Berna can barely walk.
We take them, and that's it. Thank you. Done deal.
So, who's it going to be?
Uh, we're going to save Emanuel and Berna.
BERNA: I made it to the final event,
so the leg pain was worth it.
So Horacio and Nurys, you're out.
Corey and Olivia, you're out, as well.
OLIVIA: What the hell?
Thanks, buddy.
Join Jay and Moriah
and head over to the letters. The rest of you,
come on with me.
All right, this game is Pickup Sticks.
At the far end of the course, each team has a pile
of 3D puzzle pieces.
When put together correctly, it will form a perfect cube.
Each contender is going to pick up one end of a pickup stick.
You're going to race to the other end of the course.
You'll carefully maneuver your stick
so that the hook fits into a puzzle piece.
You'll race it back to the start.
You'll do this
until you've retrieved all of your puzzle pieces.
The first team to solve their puzzle
will win today's challenge and be safe from elimination.
-All right, ready? Go! -(air horn blows)
OLIVIA: I'm rooting for Emanuel
and Berna.
I feel very safe with both of them.
And Zara and Ravyn--
I have no idea where I stand on their list,
so I'm definitely vulnerable right now.
Where's the hole? Where's the hole?
EMANUEL: It's in here.
EMANUEL: Is it? Is it? Is it? Let's go.
Let's go.
Sorry.
ASAF: Do you see it? Guide us. Guide us.
ZARA: Yeah. Yeah.
ASAF: It takes a lot of effort
for us to put the stick in the hole because
three people on one pole is harder than two people.
So, we're kind of in trouble.
Like this?
Yeah. You can go faster. Faster.
-There you go. There you go. Now... -Okay, drop down.
Oh. Run. Come on, pick it up.
EMANUEL: I'm assuming that a guys' elimination comes next.
If I win,
I will have to throw down Horacio.
It's for the benefit of my game
and my alliance's game.
And then, get the house to vote for Kyland.
RAVYN: Hey, take it this way.
Good job! Good job!
(whistles)
Slow. Don't go anywhere.
-ASAF: Yeah. -ZARA: Yes! Hold on! Hold on.
HORACIO: You can do it!
TJ: Well done, Berna. Good job, Emanuel.
Go, go, go, go! Faster, faster, faster!
It's wrong.
Emanuel said he's coming for me.
If they were to win, I might be going in.
It's wrong.
-Go, go, go! -Take it back. You go back!
RAVYN: There we go.
-Let's go. -Let's go! Come on, team!
Hurry! Run!
COREY: Having three people might be a disadvantage today.
If there's too many leaders, no one's going to listen.
Wait, wait, wait. Please.
Let's... Damn it.
I think the "L"s are on each corner.
-This one is on here. -Last one left.
-We've got this big L. -Okay. No, no.
You're (bleep) dumb!
-You, too! -Sorry you're (bleep).
We're all (bleep) stupid.
ZARA: We still don't know
if it's a girls' or guys' elimination.
I am a good competitor,
and they're gonna want to get me out.
And we cannot stop
because we have to win this.
No, that makes no sense. Stop, stop, stop.
-That makes no sense. -Wait. What do you mean?
Please take this all out.
ED: Me and Emanuel definitely
working together. I am hoping
that Emanuel and Berna can pull this one out.
This one. Not this one.
What if something like this goes?
-Guys. Wait. -That's why I love The Challenge.
-Wait. Wait. -You got it.
Teej, what do you think about that, Teej?
-What do you think about that? -(air horn blows)
(bleep)
-(shouting) -I told you.
Yeah!
(laughing)
KYLAND: You'd think Asaf had just won an Academy Award.
Like, it's a five or six-piece puzzle.
Right now, you should probably have your head down
about how long it took you to solve it.
Let's go, baby!
-(laughter) -Ah!
-I am so proud of us. -Ah.
This is crazy. Our third win.
-And your first win. -And your first win.
My first win. My first win ever.
-I can help you now. -Ever, ever, ever, ever!
Give me the phone up there. I'm gonna call my wife to tell her.
(laughter)
All right, Asaf, Ravyn, and Zara, you hung in there.
You did not quit.
So congratulations. You win today's challenge,
and you are the only team safe from elimination.
HORACIO: I'm expecting my name to be said
and honestly, I'm kind of excited for it. I think it's
just another way to prove myself and another day to work hard.
It is what it is.
TJ: Since you secured your safety,
I need you to step aside and select one...
-woman. -Oh. Whoo.
-ED: Wow. -Damn.
(contestants groaning)
-Wah-wah, wee-wah. -NURYS: Whoa.
JAY: Oh, my God.
MICHELE: The format of the game thus far
has been, like, guy-girl, guy-girl.
I'm thinking we just had a girls' day,
probably going to be a guys' day next.
But this is Chaos,
and it is, in fact, a women's day.
And now, ZaZa and Ravyn are safe,
and they were our number one and number two targets.
TJ: All right.
So go ahead and step away and do that for me.
(whispering): So for me, I would put Colleen in there.
And I know you have your thing with Melissa.
I know, but I don't want to...
I've given her my word before.
But I don't know if it continues.
Do you know what I mean?
You're trying to work with Melissa, I can tell.
Do you have another name?
Whatever you guys come up with,
I'll just go with you guys.
If you don't want me to say "Melissa,"
I swear to God,
-it's not going to be good. -ASAF: No. You...
RAVYN: ZaZa does not want to say Melissa's name again,
and honestly, she's already said it once.
What's the problem with her saying it again?
You are either deciding to work with us,
or you're deciding to work with her.
ZARA: It's difficult for me because
I do get on with Melissa.
I've tried to keep her safe in the past,
but everybody in the house seems to be against her.
I guess that's what happens
when you're aligned with Big T.
-Okay. -This is a numbers game,
and I'm trying to protect you just as much as you say
-you're trying to protect me. -ASAF: Mm-hmm.
Melissa, at the end of the day,
does not have the numbers.
I just feel like this is, like, the most...
It is the game. What can we do?
All right, come on back.
What is the decision?
ZARA: It doesn't get any easier
saying it. It's the third time that I've said your name.
-Wow. -And it's Melissa.
Why is elimination becoming the actual Melissa show?
We... we had to find a name. It was really hard.
I-I think it will be a lot harder
for Asaf's wife to watch him swear to a mother, like
"Hey, I'm not gonna put you in 'cause you're a mother."
Wait, did I say--
You (bleep) said that day one, you did.
-MELISSA: (bleep) -Say something about my mom.
I didn't say anything about your mom.
-Say something about my mom. -I didn't say anything about your mom.
-You're a bitch. -I talked about you.
You're a bitch. You're a bitch.
I talked about you. I talked about you, brother.
Say something about my mom.
I didn't say anything about him. I was talking about you.
(overlapping shouting)
KYLAND: I have witnessed Asaf talk about this
with Melissa on more than one occasion.
Seeing him go back on his word about something so personal
and so important, I think that
that should be addressed.
-I talked about him. -(bleep) wife. Now you're talking
-about my (bleep) wife. -I talked about him.
There is a saying in Hebrew
that we say all the time.
(speaking Hebrew)
That means...
"Every dog has his day."
Kyland, you just started a war with me.
All right. Get back in line. Let's go.
Why don't you talk about this later?
(overlapping chatter)
-I'm trying to explain something. -Just get back in line.
How? You don't know what planet you're on.
Maybe you (bleep) live in the clouds.
Melissa, I will see you in the Arena.
The rest of you, head back to the house.
Deliberate, nominate one woman
to send into the Arena as well.
Now, the winners-- Zara, Ravyn and Asaf--
will not have a vote in the nomination.
Since you already nominated Melissa to go in there,
everybody else is up for grabs.
RAVYN: It feels so good.
I don't have to worry about any of them saying my name.
Since I've won the challenge, I do have the power
and I've made my decision with Melissa,
so I don't even need to get involved.
Even though I am winning,
I want to keep all ears open,
but I'm also gonna enjoy myself a little bit.
I'll see you at the Arena. Get out of here.
MELISSA: I'm shocked at Asaf.
Asaf, from day one, has told me,
"Oh, we're both parents, you know.
"We'll have each other's back.
I will never say your name out of respect."
What's happened there is Ravyn said, "I want Melissa."
She's had the bigger voice
and Zara and Asaf have just rolled over
and done what Ravyn wanted and, unfortunately, for me,
I clearly threw a drink in the wrong girl's face
because she's got me back pretty quickly. (laughs)
But if I go down into elimination
and my name is pulled, I will be coming back.
♪♪ ♪♪
I won. We won. But I'm pissed.
First win, baby.
I'm (bleep) pissed.
Hello? First win.
They're gonna pull their mates, 'cause I'm gonna mentally focus
on them doing it and a little bit of attraction
will make them call their mates and not me.
(chuckles)
Also, I do get, like, Ravyn had a glass of wine in her face.
Like, if I respect Ravyn, like, you know what?
I'm not gonna fight this.
It just seemed like the right decision.
And if I didn't do it, you guys were gonna do it,
so now you just have to pick another one also.
That's fine. I'm obviously not gonna say you.
I'm not going to say Olivia.
-I'm not going to say Nurys. -Yeah.
There's only so many people that I can protect.
For me personally, Berna is a priority.
So I have no problem saying Colleen's name
because I have to say a name.
Let me tell you that
I'm not gonna say Olivia, I'm not gonna say Nurys.
That literally leaves them two.
-That's the truth. That's it. -Yeah, it leaves the two of them.
ZARA: I've never spoken game with Colleen.
I think it's come to light
that she is a strong competitor and she's here to play.
She is a sweet girl,
but being sweet is not gonna keep you in this game.
Yeah, we're gonna have to make it Colleen,
and then we're gonna pray
-that the mace doesn't get pulled. -Mm-hmm.
MORIAH: I don't want her here.
I think that Colleen is a very, like,
calculated character, and for me,
I don't want someone like Colleen in the game because
she's strong for her size.
She's good at puzzles. She's not scared of heights.
I don't need anyone like that in this game.
-It's all we can do. -It's all we can do.
♪♪ ♪♪
-Salud. -Cheers.
What do you think about the house vote?
I doubt it'll be Michele.
I doubt Nurys. Probably not, but...
So yeah, probably...
COLLEEN: Honestly, I'm shocked.
I didn't expect that, in this group,
my name would come up.
I'm disappointed about Ed.
I don't like
if people are talking behind my back.
If you have to say something, come to me.
Say it into my face.
I don't know how it's gonna go. I know it kind of sucks.
Yeah, I know I have to fight for my position here.
You were very mad that we said, we said your name.
-Yeah. -Even though, even though, like, uh, of course,
I wasn't the only one.
-Game aside... -Yep.
...it broke my heart
that you didn't have my back more as a fellow parent.
There was, there was, uh...
-Did you not think of that? -There was...
-Of course. What are you talking about? -How, like...
-What are you talking about? -Your family at home, like...
No, hold on. Melissa, Melissa...
...they'd expect someone to protect you.
-Melissa, hold on a second. -For being a parent, no?
-Of course. -But you've made, like, a pact with someone?
Can you tell me, can you let me talk, at least?
The agreement was, if I hear your name,
I'm gonna tell you.
If you hear my name, you're gonna tell me.
That was the agreement.
Melissa, don't come at me
and do all this fake BS right now.
I'm not that guy.
It's (bleep). It's (bleep).
Oh, my God, Asaf.
And you're flaky, as well. You just...
Like, you just go with the wind.
I have more logical conversations
with my three-year-old daughter
than I have with the Asaf.
Vienna has a higher IQ than Asaf. 100%.
When I give my word to someone...
-But I can, you can help-- -...I mean it, unlike you.
I'm giving you the opportunity to get in power.
-Hold on. -My God. Asaf...
-I'm not paranoid. -Maybe you need
to get the grip of reality.
-There is facts. -You live in the clouds.
There is facts.
JAMES: It's not the right place or time.
And international numbers are dropping rapidly.
With Melissa, this is gonna have an effect on me
because there's another number
that I can't afford to lose moving forward.
I feel like this is gonna go sour very quickly.
Uh, you are infuriating.
MELISSA: Oh, my God, Asaf.
I'm giving you the opportunity to get in power.
-My God. Asaf... -Hold on, I said, I said...
-I'm not paranoid. -Maybe you need to get
the grip of reality.
-You live in the clouds. -There's, there is facts.
MELISSA: Uh, you are
-infuriating to talk to. -Listen, you're...
RAVYN: Melissa is still causing drama,
still starting rumors.
She keeps getting thrown in
and she doesn't have the numbers.
I cannot stand to see her face around the house.
She just needs to go.
-God bless you. -God bless you.
Because you're gonna need it.
-'Cause trust me, Asaf. -Yeah.
You're next when you don't win.
We'll see you then.
That's what you think. We'll see then.

COLLEEN: Emanuel gave me the feeling
that he likes me and he's interested in me.
Emanuel's flirting with almost every contender.
Raven has a crush on Emanuel,
and Olivia has a crush on Emanuel.
I just don't get
how men can switch
from this side to this side in one day.
Now my name is going around again.
And that sucks.
I promise you I'll win, I will win this.
-Remember? -I want to win this, too.
-No, I'll win it. I'm gonna win. -So, hopefully,
hopefully, you'll trip on a rock.
-I won't even trip. -You'll trip on a rock.
-I won't. -And then you can get second.
Because this is what I like. I like when people doubt me.
You know what I'm saying? This is, this is what I need.
-I don't think anyone's doubting you. -Yeah, they do.
What upsets me is that you doubt yourself.
You trust too much in people. You're very naive.
Not one of them would ever look after you.
They don't give a (bleep) about you.
Stop turning to that alliance like they're your best mate.
They're not your day ones.
Yeah? Listen, see, this alliance is fickle.
'Cause watch what happens.
You'll see their true colors in the next couple of weeks.
MORIAH: I know Michele's number one,
so I know me and Michele don't hate each other.
JAMES: She's sweet. Cool. Cool.
I've known you, I've known you five minutes
and I would get you to the final with me.
-Am I your number one? -What?
-Am I your number one? -Number one what?
-Person? -No. No, no, no.
I'm number one guy. Now you're number one girl.
-Okay. I'd be number one girl? -Yeah.
Moriah's very well connected, you know?
She's got a massive influence in the house.
But one of the big dog girls need to go.
That's either Olivia, Nurys or Michele.
Now, it's nothing personal, but these girls are dictating
everything that goes on in this house.
Only the best should survive.
The survival of the fittest is the fairest route to the final.
I-I'm with you, you know?
Like I, like I will do anything
-to protect you... -Yeah.
...the same as I will for Michele.
Yeah. It's cool.
Moriah and James are literally on a different planet.
Moriah has isolated herself from most people.
And I think James is absolutely horrible for Moriah's game.
It's making everyone around the house question her.
At this point, I feel like she's willing to sacrifice
her entire game for a man.
♪♪ ♪♪
He's such a player.
I just have bad taste. (sniffles)
Bad taste in boys.
I feel so embarrassed because I started to open up.
If you come close to a person

you don't exist, you know what I mean?
I have bad taste in boys.
End of the story.
I feel stupid because
Emanuel gave me the feeling
that he's interested in me and he likes me.
After, in the club, he was flirting again
with Olivia and with Ravyn and I got hurt.
I felt embarrassed.
(sighs)
Emmanuel's the biggest player in the house.
To be really honest,
I think you're just very emotional right now.
-You just make it bigger than you actually feel. -COLLEEN: Yeah, maybe.
I think Colleen is so emotional
because everything came together.
It's a guy thing.
She's considered to be a name
to go to the sand. I get it.
It's not only him. It's actually...
PRODUCER: Did you have an intimate moment with Emanuel?
I had more than one moment with Emanuel.
For him it was so important that it's not on camera,
all this stuff, because of his girlfriend.
But I, honestly, I think it's too late.

COLLEEN: I've wanted to have a quick chat with you,
and I don't want to make a big scene or whatever,

I felt totally embarrassed, honestly,

What is that thing with me and Ravyn and Olivia?
But I don't even flirt with Olivia.
I don't even talk to her.
You had her. That's not true.
-EMANUEL: You mean yesterday? -COLLEEN: Yeah.
EMANUEL: Ah, yeah, 'cause I was like that with both.
COLLEEN: Yeah, yeah. And the girls are talking.
Anyways, you don't have to care.
-Everything is fine, you know? -No, I know.
Um...
But I just want that, between us,
that it's easygoing.
-I would love to do that. -Oh, yeah, yeah. 100%
I don't want to be part of this Olivia-Ravyn drama.
I want to keep distance of this love triangle
with Olivia and Ravyn, also with the girls.
I have not the best position in the house,
so I have to think about my own game.
Yeah. I hope that just for the game, everything is fine
-and we're on the same page with everything else. -Yeah, yeah.
I just want to keep distance.
Yeah, true.
I hooked up with Colleen and...
that could put me in a bad spot
back home and in the house.
It's so easy to get distracted in this house
and forget why you're here.
We're gonna work together, and other than that,
I need to keep my head

-Like, they're gonna be old like this... -Yes.
...but we're gonna be...
My heart is like that, I have to say, like,
okay, I feel like that nobody
really tried to protect me, of my alliance.
I always work for them.
The whole time, even yesterday in this (bleep) challenge.
And I focused just on the boys.
I protected Jay. When all said, like, okay,
we manipulate Kyland.
BERNA: And now they (bleep) you over.
And they (bleep) me over.
Olivia, Nurys, Jay, Michele--
they are the core people. For me, it feels like
there are people around-- Asaf, Emanuel, Berna, me.
And I think there are easy names to say,
and that feels not right,
because we are protecting the,
these core people all the time, every day.
So I have to change my whole strategy.
And I will focus on people that are
more in the same position, like me.
To them, it seems as an "easy vote..."
-COLLEEN: But it's not. -...which is stupid, because it's not, yeah.
They take Moriah before her, and you know what?
Moriah will (bleep) all of us over.
-So why are the girls still hiding behind it and... -Right now, right now.
Maybe they're afraid to take a shot at Moriah right now.
But we are almost in the final.
If you don't show it now, when?
I get Colleen's frustration here, I get it.
She's an old alliance. She always voted with us.
She protected everyone.
She is so much more loyal to her alliance than Moriah is.
I don't actually think it's a bad idea.
Me and Moriah were having just, like, a regular conversation,
just like, about, like, Bananas and her, whatever.
But I heard her say, "I'm not gonna say ZaZa's name."
She told me that.
-She told you that? -Yeah, she told me that.
She wants to take her to the end?
-COREY: Why is she doing this? -NURYS: She is an idiot.
What'd I tell you? She's really an idiot.
-Like, I don't understand. -OLIVIA: She's not saying his name
because she wants to protect James, and that's James' number.
-And he needs her desperately. -MICHELE: I can't.
They're trying to take power into their own hands
and make their own new alliance, clearly.
And I get it. Emotionally, I get it. She likes him.
I get it. But at the same time, that's not the plan.
That's not what we came in here to do.
And if you're not part of the plan,
you're not part of the plan.
I hear you. I hear all the things.
(sighs) But my thing is, like, the probability of her going in
and coming back and being alienated
and feeling burned and all these things is, like...
COREY: But my fear is what's on the other side of that.
What if we don't do a single thing,
and then someone in this room or someone we really care about
is suddenly at risk?
I'm just feeling, like, is it the smart move
and I'm blinded by something?
Moriah. She's obviously in love with James right now.
So she's protecting James,
then protecting ZaZa, who's James' number.
Which means if you're protecting James and ZaZa, like,
how are you actually having your alliance's back?
Michele may not understand.
Maybe this might come back to bite her in the ass.
I know at, I know at any given moment,
she's never going to choose a single man over James.
And for me, that is scary.
JAY: Moriah is playing the most
middle-ground game I've ever seen.
She's really getting away with murder right now.
There's no repercussions to her actions at all.
The moment that Corey did that,
everyone checked him that moment.
Right then and there, he went into the sand.
She's got a free "get out of jail" card
literally every single time she does anything.
Like, I don't trust her. I don't.
Jay, you and Michele, you are so good connected.
You, I think you can feel quite safe
and if you eliminate a person like me or Berna
that are your numbers,
because I will not present with you.
I was quiet for so long.
For me, it was so important to act
under the radar and build up trust.
I'm in the position that I have nothing
to lose anymore, so...
it's time to make a big move.
Olivia, Michelle, Nurys,
they stick together.
They don't care about the people on the outside.
Who do you want us to vote for if it's not you?
COLLEEN: Moriah, because
she's playing both sides and, uh,
we lose numbers again and again and again.
-Mm-hmm. -COLLEEN: It's just so stupid.
JAY: The points that Colleen is trying to make are very valid.
Colleen never betrayed the alliance.
She's willing to vote any single way that we want.
Moriah: building her own alliance.
And maybe she'll protect Michelle,
but she's not gonna protect the rest of your friends.
Okay. I mean... (stammers)
...you're not the first person to say Moriah.
-I'm just letting you know. -COLLEEN: That's good to hear.
-Yeah. -Yeah.

So welcome back, everyone. (laughs)
There's clearly some sort of vendetta against me.
There's a time for talking and there's a time for action.
And I'm done talking now.
So if I go down there tonight, no matter
who I get put against,
I'll be fighting my ass off to come back.
ASAF: Let's stop with the chit-chat. Colleen,
I heard your name around the house. Everybody knows it.
Colleen, you want to say something?
Yeah. It's not a surprise. Uh, I heard
my name, so I'm not shocked now.
Uh, and I had a lot of very good conversations today,
and I really appreciate every talk I had.
My vote was gonna be for Colleen.
Yeah, I'm gonna vote for Colleen, as well, today.
COREY: All right, my turn.
I do have to vote for you, Colleen.
But you're a fighter. Good luck.
Thank you.
COREY: It's too little, too late.
If Colleen wanted me to fight for her and ride for her,
she should have done this and gotten close to me
before this elimination.
Now that her name is up, what am I supposed to do about it?
(exhales)
Damn, this sucks. Um...
I have to say your name tonight because that's the way
that it's looking it's gonna go, so, Colleen,
uh, my vote is for you.
I honestly believe that if we were smart,
we would find a way to get Moriah out, but I can't go
against my ride-or-die or my alliance
because then I lose
all power in this game, and I find myself
at the bottom just like Colleen.
I say you, Colleen.
-Good luck. -Thank you.
I don't want to see Colleen down there because she's my friend.
And here is Moriah, the girl who always
spend more time with the UK people.
So I hope she doesn't even have to play
the game and come back up.
I don't want to say Colleen's name.
I have no reason to do it.
-So I'm gonna say Moriah. -(bleep) you.
-She already said my name. -(laughter)
I am doing a personal vote for myself.
Obviously, I've had my differences with you, Berna,
multiple times,
so, unfortunately, I'll be voting for you, Berna.
For me, I really, genuinely
hope that you win your way back.
I definitely am recognizing that I have
a lot of power in this house and in this situation
and this decision between Moriah and Colleen.
Colleen is definitely gonna be upset that I said her name.
I've put her in to elimination before and sent her home.
Now I'm doing it all over again.
Yeah. I told you I will fight
with all I have and then I come back.
-Let's do it, baby. Let's go! -That's right.
That's right, Colleen!
I was trying to push the votes
against Moriah, but I failed.
It was important that the contenders
start to think about this name,
because she's playing two sides and she will definitely
not protect a lot of our guys and our alliance.
I'm just hoping it's something I'm good at.
-What aren't you good at? -Puzzles.
Change your mindset.
Having Melissa here, someone that
I get along with for the most part and
am getting close with, is just a nice comfort.
And I don't want Melissa to go home.
She's a great ally to me in this game.
Either way, you'll be ready.
Yeah.
Okay? And then you come back, right?
Yeah.

All right, everyone. Welcome back to the Arena
for your ninth elimination on this season
of Battle for a New Champion.
(cheering, whooping)
Congratulations to Zara, Asaf and Ravyn.
Absolutely killing it at the challenge. Well done.
Now, you all were safe from elimination
and you had to select one woman to send into the Arena.
You did that. You chose Melissa.
So I know why you're down here again.
I'm more than ready today. I mean, I've had two
practice rounds, so if my name is pulled,
I'm re-- I'm ready to go.
But if I'm coming back, it's for revenge. (laughs)
Colleen, I don't know why you're here. I think I know.
You know, honestly, I think you are all scared.
As you all know, we are in level two: Chaos.
And this person I'm bringing out right here, right now...
is...
...one of the greatest players
-to ever play the game. -Wow.
Are you all ready to see what champion is coming out tonight?
-MICHELE: Come on, girl, come on! -(cheering, clamoring)
Oh, my God, my heart.
MELISSA: Oh, my God!
Are y'all ready to see what champion is coming out tonight?
(indistinct shouting)
-(cheering, clamoring) -Oh, my God!
(whoops)
Get her! Come on!
(shouting, clamoring)
All these dumb-ass bitches don't want (bleep).
(screaming, clamoring)
Tori, I want to congratulate you.
-You are now Challenge champion. -Yay!
(cheering, clamoring)
What's up, guys? I'm back. My name is Tori.
I've been on nine seasons of The Challenge.
I've been to
six finals in The Challenge.
And I have one beautiful
golden trophy sitting at home with my name on it.
I'm a Challenge champ.
(cheering, clamoring)
Oh, God. (chuckles)
OLIVIA: Tori is definitely
one of the biggest threats in this game
probably to ever exist, in my opinion.
I have played
alongside her, so I know how
she plays and she is fearless.
She is very smart. She has a winning mindset.
So whatever she's up against,
she most likely is gonna take it.
So, Tori, you definitely throw caution to the wind
when it comes to eliminations.
I've seen it with my own two eyes.
So, if you beat her tonight,
it's a different level.
All right? For real.
In front of you is the draw. Two of these poles
have the names "Melissa" and "Colleen,"
because they were nominated.
The other poll is "Chaos."
And Chaos, you can select any female up there
except for Ravyn and Zara since they're on the winning team.
NURYS: When I tell you
The Challenge hookup web is very connected,
it's very connected.
Because, obviously, on Ride or Dies,
I was with Jordan.
Tori very much liked Horacio.
And now, me and Horacio are together so I'm just nervous.
Oh, my heart is racing.
(indistinct shouting)
(shouting, cheering)
TORI: (bleep), I'm sorry, babe.
-MELISSA: It's okay. -Aw, (bleep).
KYLAND: Everyone knows that Tori
is a great physical competitor.
And seeing Melissa go down into elimination
definitely takes a little bit of a toll.
I do feel like our games are a bit intertwined,
so I don't want to see her go home tonight.
-EMANUEL: Colleen! -(cheers and applause)
COLEEN: Not tonight.
(laughs) I told you.
Usually, I'm lucky with a draw.
Melissa, how are you feeling?
Um, I'm not going to lie. I'm nervous.
I've seen Tori compete.
She's an amazing competitor.
But I am going to give it my all today.
I'm here for me daughter, so I'm going to fight.
If you do come away with the win,
then you beat one of the best players ever,
you stay in the game
and you keep $10,000
for that final prize pot for everyone else.
Tori, if you win,
you're going to send Melissa packing
and you'll receive $10,000
out of their final prize pot.
Ooh! Sounds nice.
Tonight's game is called Going Under.
As you can see, there are two giant water tanks right here
in the middle of the Arena.
Each of them have puzzles inside.
The answer key to your puzzle
is hanging high above the Arena
attached to a counterweight, and if you want it,
you're going to have to pull it down by using that rope.
Your goal is simple.
Solve that puzzle
right there inside that tank of water.
First one to get it done wins tonight's elimination
and stays in the game and either
hangs on to that 10,000 for everyone
or takes ten grand home
and is laughing her ass off.
All right, let's do it.
-TJ: All right? -Yeah.
-Good luck, ladies. Let's do it. -Thank you.
(cheering and applause)
For the first time in this game, I just hope
that a champ will come and take our money
and take Melissa with her.
Moriah, what the (bleep), dude?
This is not good.
He is heartbroken.
Heartbroken, dude.
Heartbroken.
Wait, I thought everything is a secret.
-No. -No? Okay, apparently not.
MORIAH: I've been feeling unsure
and, you know, this experience showed that to me.
And I wish I did it in a better way.
But I'm already
beating myself up about this, and now
you're throwing this dagger at me?
So I'm trying to keep it together and not cry
in front of you right now.
Anyway, we got a game to play.
MORIAH: Is my makeup messed up?
-(Moriah sniffles) -I can't see. It's too dark.
You look good anyway.
Don't let it affect your game now.
-No, it's not... -(stammers)
It's-it's not affecting my game.
It's just like, I feel bad if I hurt someone.
Moriah's a good girl.
There's no jealousy on my part.
Moriah's her own woman.
She can do whatever she wants.
Well, I don't think this is the time and place
-to talk about it. -Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
One thing about us champs is we stay very connected.
I'm very close with Johnny Bananas,
and so she's obviously
having a fling with somebody.
And knowing that I've been talking to Johnny
and he's been distraught, it's just kind of like,
what is...
what is happening? A champ in this situation
would do the best that they can to stay focused on the game,
because ultimately, you came here for a game.
You didn't come for a relationship.
It is an honor to compete.
It's an honor to be on the stand with TJ
because to be a champ, it takes that appreciation.

MELISSA: Oh, my God. I am not going to lie.
I'm nervous about going against Tori.
She is a champion. She's such a strong competitor.

The only challenge I've done
where I've really struggled
was where I had to go underwater
to get a puzzle piece,
so now I'm, like, (bleep).
I'm gonna be cool, calm, collected,
and don't die.
All right, ladies, you ready?
(air horn blows)
-(cheering) -Go, Melissa!
KYLAND: There you go. Look at the board.
Look at the board. Look at it.
Remember for yourself.
I know Melissa doesn't like
diving and she doesn't like puzzles,
and she has expressed to me many times
how bad her memory is,
so I really need to help her.
This feels like
a worst-case scenario elimination.
Okay, try and get a couple at a time.
Try and get a couple at a time.
Do the next one. Do the next one.
OLIVIA: You got this.
-JAY: Let's go, let's go. -NURYS: Good job, Tor.
TORI: I immediately recognize that
this is a grid I'm looking at.
So instead of looking at it from, like,
just blocks that I have to remember in order,
I label it by
"A" through "F" and then one through six
and memorize where that symbol goes
based on the graph that I've created.
So that way I'm putting multiple pieces up at the same time.

Just focus, Melissa.
-(coughs) -KYLAND: You're pacing well.
You're pacing well. Just keep going like that.
MELISSA: I don't know what it is
about being back this season,
whether it's being a mum or something,
but as soon as I feel like I'm
in danger, I panic ten times more.
NURYS: Good job, Tor.
Melissa, try to grab more of your pieces.
-(Melissa coughs) -KYLAND: Relax, relax.
Try again.
RAVYN: Melissa is
panicking a lot, she's throwing a lot of pieces around.
She can't stay underwater to get the pieces.
She's having a lot of trouble,
and part of me does feel bad.
But another part of me is like, "Yes." (chuckles)
KYLAND: There you go. There you go.
-(gasps) -KYLAND: Good work, good work.
TJ: Yeah, Melissa, well done.
Melissa, that's great.
TJ: Well done, Melissa.
KYLAND: Melissa, keep doing that.
♪♪ ♪♪
KYLAND: Grab multiple pieces again
like you just did. Do the same thing.
Don't panic.
But you did it. Just do it one... Do it again.
-Grab them all. -(Melissa shouts)
I need to just be confident
and not panic, and I need to breathe
and just try not to rush it.
A champion can come in here
and take another
$10,000 of the prize again,
which is not good because
at this point, all the money we won
in the beginning is going to be gone.
KYLAND: Exhale, exhale So you can sink.
Come on!
Check.
(gasps)
♪♪ ♪♪
Check.
KYLAND: Keep going, Melissa. We don't know.
TJ: No, Tori,
that is incorrect.
TORI: The worst feeling in the world
is TJ being like, "Incorrect,"
because now I have to look at this board
and I'm like, "Oh, my God, where did I mess up?"
-I have to regroup. -KYLAND: Keep working.
Just keep working.
♪♪ ♪♪
KYLAND: Keep moving, Melissa.
Stay calm. Keep doing work.
MELISSA: I always just remember
that I'm here for my daughter.
I'm missing out on a portion of her life
being away from home,
so I'm here to work hard and win.
(cheering)
Oh, there it is, on the bottom.
Check.
(air horn blows)
TJ: All right, that's it! Well done, Tori.
You got it. Good job.
(cheering and applause)
Good job, Melissa.
JAMES: With Melissa leaving, she is part of this UK alliance.
It's going to have an effect on me because it's another number
that I can't afford to lose
moving forward. We're getting weaker
and they're getting stronger.
I need to have a serious think.
You know, things can't continue like this.
Otherwise, I'm never going to make that final.
Well, Melissa,
you really, really gave it your all,
so hold your head high,
-all right? 'Cause she's a beast. -Yeah.
I know she is. (chuckles)
I'm feeling absolutely gutted to be going home.
I feel disappointed in meself.
I feel like I could have done better.
At least I lost to a champion.
I've not been here
since I've had a baby.
I've come back, and next time I come,
I'll be a lot more prepared.
So, one day I'll be a champion,
but just not today.
TJ: So, Melissa, unfortunately,
this ends your time here on The Challenge.
Is there anything you want to say?
(bleep) you all.
(laughter)
-TJ: Take care of yourself. -I'll be back next season. Tra.
(laughter)
Melissa, come on, girl.
Where you going? Where you going?

KYLAND: Melissa, I hope that you're proud of yourself
and all the strength you exhibited
through this season.
And definitely looking forward to hanging out
-when I'm out of here. -Bye, now!
MELISSA: Kyland made this season for me.
He made it bearable being away from my daughter,
and I really like him.
And we will meet up again
after he comes out,
but hopefully he makes the final and he wins.
So Kyland's who I'm rooting for here.
Tori, there's a reason that you are a champion.
You received $10,000
-of their final prize pot. -Damn it!
Thank you, guys.
Congratulations, Tori.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much for being here.
And take care of yourself. I'll see you soon.
-(cheering) -Bye!
-Love you! -Moriah, like, keep fighting.
And keep your head in the game.
I love you guys. I love you all.
Stay strong. Have fun. Bye.
(applause)
$40,000 light.
So 366,000
is where we're sitting at right now, and it's not good.
You can't lose anymore.
You're not just coasting
and just trying to make it to the end.
You want to win.
All right, I'll see you soon.
Get out of here. Much love.
I'm sitting in my emotions right now,
and all I'm realizing is I've already made mistakes.
I'm going to continue with James.
I'm here to compete. At the end of the day,
my name wasn't called, but it was in the mix,
so I guess we're going to see what happens next girls' day.

I'm feeling absolutely gutted to be going home.
Tori's an amazing player.
I psyched meself up a lot beforehand.
I just overthought it, I panicked,
and towards the end I started to get a little bit more confident
diving down and getting the puzzle pieces,
but obviously it was too late then.
Check.
(air horn blows)
TJ: All right, that's it.
At least I lost to a champion.
TJ: You really, really gave it your all,
so hold your head high.
MELISSA: I don't feel like this season
would have been my season anyway.
I was a target, and it would have been hard.
Absolutely no alliance.
I'm sorry, it has to be Melissa.
This entire time I've been lying to Big T and Melissa.
I'd like to say I did me best,
but I feel like I could have done better.
TJ: So, Melissa, unfortunately this ends your time
here on The Challenge.
Is there anything you want to say?
... you all.
(laughter)
I'll be back next season. Ta!
(laughter)
Next time you see Melissa,
I will become a champion.
-Whoa! -TJ: Here at The Challenge,
-nothing comes easy. -Oh!
Hit me right in the face.
OLIVIA: Moriah has blown up her whole life for this man.
JAMES: Whatever happens, happens.
TJ: A 14-time challenger.
Come on out.
Fourth of July barbecue!
Oh!
