[Devyn] This season on The Challenge...
I'll come anytime I [bleep] want!
...friendships shattered...
[overlapping shouting]
...partners turned into problems...
-[bleep] idiot! -Piss off!
-[Devyn] ...and loyalty... -You need to stake a claim.
-...didn't stand a chance. -[horn blares]
-This sucks. -You're with us or you're not.
You're so [bleep] delusional.
[Devyn] The game might be over...
-[grunts] -Oh my God!
...but the battles, they're far from finished.
It's reunion time!
-It's about to get real messy. -It's so messy.
Gloves have already been taken off.
We're going to go eat some bitches up.
I hope you're hungry.
I'm your host, Devyn Simone, and tonight,
the Vets and the New Threats face it all.
-I can't stand any of you guys. -I mean...
Explosive confrontations...
Shut the [bleep] up, Ashley!
-I'm the type of friend-- -But I'm saying...
We're not friends, Ashley!
...shocking accusations...
You are a hater! You're a hater.
You want a hater so you can be relevant.
Oh!
Game's over now, so you can be honest.
Who cheated? Raise your hand.
Theo! I need you to confess!
[Devyn] ...and no one's holding back.
-She knows she's a bitch. -Absolutely.
What? Like, that's so [bleep] stupid.
[Devyn] Are you guys still hooking up?
Here's the thing.
Do you have feelings for Dee a little bit?
-You better be careful. -[indistinct]
We're not in the [bleep] house.
[Devyn] The Challenge 41 Reunion starts now.
[upbeat rock musical transition]
Let's meet the challengers. Give it up for the New Threats!
[upbeat rock music plays]
Leka, Sydney, Cedric,
Leo, Jake, Adrienne,
Izzy, Justin, Will, Dee and Gabe!
And please welcome the Vets.
Johnny Bananas, Turbo,
-Aviv, Derrick K... -What's up, New Threats?
...Aneesa, CT, Derek C., Leroy,
Ashley, Theo, Michaela,
Nany, and Jonna.
And make some noise for your season 41 Challenge champs,
Yeremi and Olivia.
[all cheering]
Theo, your child got a championship before you.
-[Theo mumbles] -[laughter]
[Theo] Everyone keeps saying that.
[Devyn] Let's take our seats and get things started.
-Hi, guys. You look amazing! -[loud cheering]
Hi!
Have a seat, have a seat. Get comfortable.
So happy to have you guys here.
Hey, everyone, welcome to the reunion.
I'm your host, Devyn Simone.
Some of you may know me as a 2x Challenge finalist,
Tamara The Wig's mama,
or host of the official Challenge podcast.
This season, 16 battle-tested Vets
with over a hundred seasons and 22 championships between them
went head to head alongside 16 hungry New Threats,
all chasing their share of half a million dollars.
-Whoo! -[cheering]
Before we dive into the madness that was this season,
we've got some other news to celebrate.
Congratulations, Olivia and Theo.
You have a beautiful baby boy on the way,
joining The Challenge family, that is so exciting.
-Olivia, how are you feeling? -Oh yeah.
Um, I'm feeling amazing honestly.
I didn't plan it this way necessarily,
but, um, it's cool, I mean, I think that
not only am I getting something I've always wanted,
but I won this with him
and so it's just a cool, you know, little story.
Olivia, to be clear, you didn't know you were pregnant either.
-No. -Theo, how do you feel
having now two Challenge champions in the house,
not including yourself?
[high-pitched laughter]
I'm proud because, you know,
Olivia got my DNA which made her better.
All right? Because she got the athlete inside of her,
which my child has and my beautiful wife-to-be has,
so that's a win-win for me.
Wife-to-be? Wait, are you engaged officially?
-No, not yet. -[raucous laughter]
[Devyn] We have a gift to celebrate
the newest member of The Challenge family.
[contestants exclaim]
Have a baby next, Dee, maybe we can get this special treatment.
[Devyn] To you guys from all of us.
-Aw! -[challengers exclaim]
-Aw, cute! -[cheers and applause]
[Theo] Technically, already is a champ.
So that's actually for you, Theo.
-You just didn't know. -[all laugh]
Can wear it on his foot.
I can pull this off.
Okay, we want you to feel good, but don't get too comfortable,
because we're about to dig into a season full of surprises,
shifting alliances and bold moves
that kept everyone on edge all the way to the final.
And this season's final took challengers to new heights,
literally, as they battled their way to the top
of the Andes through treacherous terrain,
brutal elements, twisted ankles,
sore legs and sleepless nights.
This was The Challenge at its highest
and its hardest.
Final challenge starts right now.
[groans]
[mumbles shakily]
-I know it hurts. Can't stop. -Have a break.
-Theo, you have to go. -No.
-[Olivia] No? -[Theo] I'm not doing it.
Theo, go get the key.
[Theo] Nah, shut up.
[Turbo] Theo seem like a pussy chicken.
-Good job, Adrienne! -Well done, babe!
-Everybody got your rope? -No.
Somebody has picked up our rope.
It was your job to hold on to it.
So...
it is going to be a penalty.
I know we had our rope outside of our tent.
I don't know whose rope I picked up,
but it was either ours or theirs, but I don't know.
-[intense music playing] -[challengers panting]
Turbo and Sydney are right there.
[Turbo] We are so close.
I lose my vision because of oxygen.
[indistinct]
[Olivia] Almost done.
[breathes heavily] Come on.
[Yeremi] The chest.
[Olivia] No way!
Open it. Just open it. Hurry!
[both shout]
[Olivia] Oh my God!
I'm a champ.
I got exactly what I wanted and exactly what I deserved.
-We are champs. -Yeah.
-We did it. -Should be proud of yourself.
And I am so blessed that you chose me as a partner.
[both] Whoo!
-[all cheer] -[Devyn] Congratulations again!
Yeremi and Olivia.
-Well deserved, Olivia. -I see you getting emotional.
What does this mean to you?
Um, I mean, this was like the hardest thing I've ever done
and I wanted it so bad.
I also wanted to prove that I could do it.
Yes, I had Yeremi, who was the best partner for this,
but I wanted... [sighs]
I just wanted to prove it to myself and everyone else.
-Yeah. -I think what she--
what she displayed this season, too,
and I told-- I said this after the show,
this girl had her back against the wall the entire season.
Thugged it out in the end, so it's like...
You got to give the girl her flowers and she earned...
-Earned it. Earned it. -Thank you.
Thanks, Johnny, I appreciate that.
And Yeremi, I mean, how does this feel for you?
Uh, it-it felt incredible.
Seriously, like, that climb and that entire final
was so difficult and there were so many,
uh, like ups and downs.
And it really just came down to it at the end, like,
what are you willing to give?
You know, when it comes down to the line like that
and we were willing to give everything.
We knew right out of the gate he was gonna be a problem.
-[Ashley] I knew! -[laughter]
Something else that was significant
was that altitude change in the finals.
It was so extreme that even TJ couldn't be at the top.
And when we got up there, and he wasn't there,
I mean, we weren't really sure what to do.
You want to see him and you want him to give you those flowers.
That speaks to the difficulty of the final, too.
-Yeah. -Sydney and Turbo,
you guys, I mean, you were in the lead
most of the final.
How does it feel to know that you were this close
to being Challenge champions?
[Turbo] I'm so sad for that...
that part, because we lose,
very, very close, last 200 meters,
but I'm so happy that they win.
Like, genuinely, they just wanted it more.
And also I know Theo never gonna be champion.
So he's gonna think he become champion,
so this is good for him too.
My son and my girl beat you so I'm happy.
That's what matters to me.
Turbo, at a point, you had hypothermia up there,
and you had to be medevacked off the mountain.
What do you remember about that moment? Anything?
No, it's the-- I don't remember, but...
really, all cameramen, all teams,
such amazing, they carry me a long time.
I would love to say thank you for everyone
who was carrying me all that road, really.
[Devyn] For sure.
Okay, moving on,
Michaela, on your first season of The Challenge,
you got sent home over a notebook.
Right? We've come a long way and you made it to a final.
How does that feel for you?
It feels great. For me, this was
kind of a redo of my first season.
And I learned from it
and applied some new things, and we see how it worked.
Cedric, did you ever find out what happened to your rope?
Not 100%,
but I'm almost positive Theo and Adrienne took it.
-Blasphemy! -He didn't plead guilty,
-but he didn't plead innocent. -That's blasphemy!
Did you take the rope?
No, man, I didn't take no one's rope.
I wasn't there but I can bet half a million dollars
that Theo took that [bleep] rope. [laughs]
Whatever happened to the rope ultimately didn't matter.
The penalty wouldn't have changed it,
'cause the difference between second and third place
was pretty significant.
Theo, you made Adrienne get in that cold water.
Are you really that afraid of the cold?
Nah, all the rookies done it.
So I was like, you know, carry on the tradition.
-I was like, "Get in, rookie." -[laughter]
[bleep] you in that moment,
I did dislike you in that moment.
Hindsight's a great thing 'cause it was the best moment
of the final for me, to be honest.
Yeah, because it was so peaceful.
I know it's basically swimming through a swamp,
but swimming back, the sun was setting over the mountains,
I was like, "Ah!"
Two young ladies begging you, bro, you didn't jump.
I know, and I'm so happy I didn't.
Well, we've seen new players join The Challenge before,
but never have we seen rookies like we did this season.
They weren't here just to compete,
they were here to take over.
From day one, it was out with the old and in with the new.
And that had all the Vets watching their back.
-[tense music plays] -[challengers shouting]
Ready? One!
We are the new generation, we are the new face
that's gonna put them into retirement homes.
-Two! -It's time for a change.
And I'm so excited.
-Three! -Let's change the script.
-Let's switch this up. -New Threats!
[challengers cheer]
The New Threats are in town, we're coming hard.
It's out with the old and in with the [bleep] new.
[intense music plays]
Cedric with the one dive and through.
[Sydney] My athletic capabilities
are going to be my biggest strength,
and probably one of the most impressive things
this franchise has seen.
It's not impossible.
-Oh, Leka! -Leka, you got this!
I really don't see a weakness in any of them.
Good job, Leo!
This new class of challengers are gonna be tough.
[Dee] I'm not here to make friends,
I'm here to win some money and be a Challenge champ.
That's how New Threats do it, baby!
[all] New Threats!
-[Devyn] I mean... -[soft cheering]
Really.
An exceptional class of rookies.
New Threats, you guys walked into the house
full of legends
and you were quick to send big names home.
Adrienne, why do you think this cast of rookies were so strong?
I think this generation, we're quite,
I hate to say it, a little bit arrogant.
We all came in here strong.
We all came in here fierce, and,
fortunately, we weren't afraid of anybody.
And that's just how we rocked, really.
Each and every person here truly did not give a [bleep].
I think a lot of us studied the game,
and there's a lot of benefit to that,
but there's also a lot of like, ignorance is bliss.
So I think not knowing a lot of the big names,
we had no reason to fear anybody.
Leo, we know you're a man of many words,
but what do you think allowed you to just come in
and be like, "I'm doing things my own way"?
I have a "I don't give a [bleep]" mindset, so,
I didn't care how good he was, or how good they are,
it was just, end of the day, we have to compete,
so I'm like, "[bleep] it."
The best way to make a name for ourselves
is to try to be together,
and show them we're actually gonna gun for it
and do a good job at that.
Like, Leo united us in a way that was unbelievable.
I don't think the rookies necessarily liked each other.
I begged to be in the Vet bus,
because I was so annoyed
as the only rookie in my 30s,
like, I'm so mature.
She got to a little breaking point where she was like,
"I don't-- I can't stand any of you."
I couldn't stand Sydney most of the time.
Yeah, because she'd say stuff to my face,
and do something else, like, why would I like that?
Here's the thing, Adrienne once said,
"Sydney's a miserable bitch."
And I was like, "Absolutely."
She knows she's a bitch!
CT, who was your MVP of the New Threats?
-Guy and girl. -I gotta give it to Sydney.
She crushed it. And Will too.
To me, personally, I think the most impressive,
uh, thing about the new rookie class
was how they played the game.
They did not skip a beat from day one.
There was-- there's usually a grace period you have
when the new kids are trying to settle in
and figure out the rules.
Not these mother[bleep].
-They were dialed in. -Yeah.
After the mountain,
I asked myself, "Leroy, why are you here?
You have a 0% chance of winning against these guys."
-[laughter] -These Threats were so good,
and not even that, they were so likable.
-Yeah! -There's not a Threat that I...
dislike that I wouldn't want to see come back.
I hope you don't bring 'em back, make it easier for myself.
[laughter]
Threats, kudos to you 'cause you guys definitely
made waves this season.
I think you've probably already cemented yourselves
in The Challenge legacy.
So we're happy to have you
and excited to see what's to come.
Coming up, is Johnny Bananas plotting his revenge
on Olivia?
Plus, we ask the ultimate question,
is Bananas truly "The Challenge"?
We'll see what the jury has to say about that next.
[CT] Just [bleep] give it to him already.
[mumbles] Stop talking about it!
I apologize on behalf of everybody in The Challenge
universe if you've never gotten your flowers.
I haven't.
[dramatic musical stinger]
You just treated me [bleep].
He did have an aggressive way to talk to females.
You are big pussy, brother.
-Okay, guys. Settle down. -Pussy!
-Settle down. -You better be careful.
We're not in the [bleep] house, bro.
[upbeat rock musical transition]
I would love to know who decided
to put me in between Gabe and Derek.
I want to know what the seating arrangement thought process was
because the two people that--
The most drama you had--
The most drama in the house
is literally to my side, I get no rest.
I'm like, "Please don't touch me. Don't get next to me."
[cheering]
This is The Challenge 41 Reunion.
I'm your host, Devyn Simone,
hanging out with the Vets and the New Threats.
Bananas entered the house as the self proclaimed
"King of The Challenge,"
but Olivia was determined to dethrone him
after feeling disrespected last season.
Her vendetta caught him off guard,
and the rest of the house was all for it.
[Olivia] Last season,
Johnny Bananas did send me in against my best friend,
and I went home.
Him out of this game does make my life a little easier.
At this point in time,
America is partnered with Bananas,
so Bananas would be Hangnail,
and I feel like that's the most vulnerable he's gonna be.
Well played.
Yeah, we're gonna go with America and Bananas.
[Olivia] Johnny.
It doesn't-- It never needed to be me versus you.
[Johnny] Please tell me how I made it that way.
I live rent [bleep] free in your head, dude.
And I don't feel bad about it at all.
I'm afraid to grab the rope.
I thought my arms were gonna get ripped off.
[intense music playing]
-[horn blares] -[Gabe] Let's go!
Put me back in the house!
Let's go!
Most frustrating thing is when you put in all the effort
you got, and even on your best day, it's not enough.
Ugh, that was painful.
-[laughter] -[Devyn] Olivia.
So, Bananas called you a snake last season.
Were you really willing to risk
your entire game just to send him home?
To be honest,
kind of.
[all laugh]
[Devyn] There you have it.
I am a very, like, I'm learning things about myself,
discovering new things, and I'm kind of spiteful.
You know? And you [bleep] me over,
so I'm gonna [bleep] you over.
I came into this game,
I had-- Olivia was the least of my concerns.
I did not harbor any resentment, or any ill will
from last season because it was never about her.
Okay? My beef was with Tori.
[Devyn] Johnny, Olivia came for you and some people
sort of expected it, but then when we saw
your longtime Challenge family,
like the CTs,
you know, Nany, Aviv, Dee...
Derrick!
[Devyn] Derrick, like,
fans were calling it a betrayal.
Did it feel that way to you?
It hurts, 'cause the only person on this [bleep] stage
that didn't say my name was Leroy.
And I felt like my veteran family,
like, did not have my [bleep] back.
And yeah, it sucked, dude.
Johnny, if I was in your position,
and you had to put your game on the line for me,
-would you have done that? -A hundred percent.
-[laughter] -I don't know about that.
[Devyn] I see a lot of people shaking their heads.
[Johnny] One million percent.
At the end of the day, the shots didn't matter
because it wasn't the shots fired by Olivia or the Hangnail
that took Johnny out.
It was a daily and then ultimately elimination.
Gabe, what was it like?
I mean, he's the GOAT.
As an athlete, you're always known to respect your opponent.
And Johnny has won
a ton of different finals.
He's decorated for a reason, right?
So, going into that elimination,
Jake comes up to me and I'm crying.
Because I thought I was going home.
And I don't think there was ever a time
where I kind of lost my focus in the elimination
where I thought I had won.
I just figured I'm gonna keep going until the whistle blows.
It sounds like you had incredible respect
-for Bananas and... -A hundred percent.
...going in as an opponent, because we joke he's been here
a very long time,
but he's done a lot of amazing things, including
a controversial topic that came up this season,
which is Bananas' favorite because it involves himself.
While the house may have plotted against him,
Bananas stayed unshaken,
and after all, in his mind,
he is The Challenge.
First, I'd like to apologize to my partner
because, uh, she's in this position
not of her own doing, but because she went out on a ledge
and chose me.
-It's not about you. -Yes, it is.
-It's not about you. -I'm talking,
so this is all about me.
[women] Oh my God!
You've made yourself center of attention.
Yes, I have, for 25 seasons, and will continue to do so.
There's a reason you're here and it's because of me.
Oh, really?
You commission the show, get a grip.
I am the [bleep] Challenge.
-[voice echoes] -My God.
Wow.
[comedic musical flourish]
[Devyn] Challengers, raise your hand
if you agree that Bananas is The Challenge.
This is gonna be a real fair poll.
-[laughter] -I mean...
[Devyn] Okay, we've got...
-four, five, six... -There's a lot.
Aneesa has a low hand down there but it's a hand.
I'll tell you, for anybody who didn't raise their hand,
-that's kind of some hate. -Yeah.
On the strength of-- it's not--
How he said it could have been taken the wrong way,
but this mother[bleep] is a legend.
Listen, Johnny's done a lot of heavy lifting
over the years, but no one here,
no one in Challenge history is 100% of The Challenge.
I've contributed more, sweated more, I've bled more,
I've [bleep] sacrificed more of my life
as an adult and I've really forgone
a lot of things other people do,
family, relationships, marriage,
[bleep] getting serious about life.
I'm just saying that, overall, my body of work,
I've contributed more than anybody else.
-Yes, I agree with that. -Nobody's taking that away.
I don't know, I apologize
on behalf of everybody in The Challenge universe
-if you never got your flowers. -I haven't.
-Let me ask you this, Johnny. -Never gonna happen.
Does it have a nice ring to it if you said,
"We are The Challenge"?
No, because it's not true.
-[laughter] -It's over.
We are The Challenge.
Everyone needs to [bleep] really understand and like,
like, let this sink in.
There's one person that shows up every season
and has to [bleep] strap up
the day I walk in the house, and that's me.
Nobody else.
[Devyn] I think, CT, are you giving...?
[CT] On behalf of all of us, Bananas...
-[laughter] -Thanks, man.
-[cheering] -Thank you.
-My cactus? -A nice, sharp cactus.
[laughter]
[Devyn] He finally got the flowers that he deserved.
We appreciate you, Bananas,
and this season, if you were the Hangnail,
your game was in immediate jeopardy,
and your anxiety went through the roof.
So we thought, why not bring that stress
to the reunion with our own version of Hangnail.
Only this time, the pressure isn't elimination,
it's answering juicy fan questions.
I'll pick a challenger to be the Hangnail,
you'll walk up to the post and read the question.
And then you have a choice.
You can either answer the question
or target a fellow challenger. Now...
Bananas, since you've pioneered a lot in The Challenge,
why don't you be the first to head over to the Hangnail?
I'll gladly do that for you, Devyn.
-Come on, GOAT. -[cheering]
[imitates goat bleating]
[woman] Bananas.
He looks like a game show host.
[laughs obnoxiously]
"Who in this room
is least deserving of being asked
back to a future Challenge?"
And why is her name Izzy?
[all exclaim in surprise]
[Devyn] So you've chosen to answer
the question right off the bat.
Why do you say Izzy, Bananas?
Uh, 'cause the most impressive thing she did was
make out with Rogan this season.
Izzy, what do you have to say to that?
I'll take it, it's his opinion, but I think it's hurtful,
and I think I did quite a lot when I was in the house.
I think Izzy is actually really [bleep] good.
And I don't know why everybody--
I've seen you swim, I've seen you run up that mountain.
You guys answer this question, then.
Probably someone that wasn't invited to the reunion,
'cause if they're not interesting enough to be here,
they're not interesting enough to be here next season!
[all clamoring]
Coming up, when it came to partner pairings,
not everyone was happy.
Some felt like a perfect match,
others like a complete mistake.
Find out whose partner problems
followed them from the house to the reunion.
[all] Ooh!
That's so [bleep] stupid.
-This is real, bro. -Please shut up.
-Ooh! -Damn!
Wow.
Gabe, what do you want to say to these women?
[clears throat]
[intense dramatic music plays, fades]
[upbeat rock musical transition]
[all cheering]
[Devyn] Welcome back. We're talking all things
Challenge 41.
Partnerships can make or break a Challenge.
Some clicked instantly while others
struggled to get on the same page.
So let's take a look at the teams
that hit the hardest bumps this season.
[Jonna] For Gabe and I,
it's like we speak different languages.
It's weird. We both speak English,
but, like, for some reason there's this block.
-[dramatic music plays] -Come on!
[Gabe] We're very close to being last now.
-Gonna have to get another band. -Okay, go ahead.
-I just ran. -[tense stinger]
My back is getting a little tired from carrying this team.
-Let's just move one-- -Wait, wait, wait.
-Don't touch. -[scoffs]
This is two, correct.
Don't touch that [bleep], okay?
[tense music playing]
Welcome to my life.
[Will] This partnership with Olivia,
it's not been beneficial for me at all.
-[intense music plays] -No, no, no!
This side, this side!
-[Will] Pull! -[Olivia] Wait, what?
Will, chill out!
[Olivia] He is a blamer.
It's all my fault all the time.
Will is just...
kind of an asshole.
[all clamoring]
-[Johnny] Oh! -[Will] Wow.
[Devyn] Let's get into our first set of partner problems--
You guys are dicks, dude!
Olivia, you called Will an asshole.
Do you still feel that way?
Um, do I think he's an asshole? Yeah.
I do. I think that everything was my fault, clearly.
[Will] Most of the time I was carrying the team.
-So, I mean-- -No, you were trying to be--
Doing it all because you weren't trying to work as a team.
-Okay. -I'm very capable.
How did the bales of hay one go?
How many times did you tie your shoe, take breaks,
and not be able to pick it up 'cause it's too heavy?
You're being very exaggerated.
I can't baby someone who's-- like,
"Come on, you're doing such a good job."
[Yeremi] That's your responsibility as a partner.
If you want to win, figure out how you're gonna win.
-Right? -Mm-hmm. Exactly.
And if figuring out how to win is
adapting maybe what's not your style
of competition,
but mixing it with your partner's style of competition
to give you guys the best
chances of winning, I think is extremely important,
and I think that is something that
me and Olivia were able to find out,
and figure out really fast,
which allowed us to work effectively.
What made me and Yeremi work so well together
is that he wanted it for me,
which made me want it for him.
With Will, I couldn't say the same thing.
Mm-hmm. Let's get to another toxic pairing
that we saw that has the internet
-in a buzz if-- -[Gabe sighs]
[Devyn] You already knew.
-[laughter] -You already knew, big guy!
This is where we were coming.
Okay, Gabe, why were you dissatisfied
with having Jonna as a partner?
[chuckles]
Like, what-- what happened?
I think I was-- Honestly, I was just frustrated
at the fact that I didn't feel like I was
performing at what I should be.
I think at that point in time, I isolated myself.
I was like, "I gotta do this on my own."
When, in reality, I don't.
[Jonna] In your defense,
this is your first Challenge.
The best challengers are the ones that can, you know,
adapt and change.
I feel like you were listening to everyone else,
and not yourself, and not me.
You're not a [bleep] person, you just treated me [bleep].
Michaela, Gabe said the Vet women haven't given him
the respect that he deserved.
What level of respect had Gabe,
at that point, earned in your eyes?
Uh, for me, not much.
Uh, and-and that's because I looked at the trend,
like, with your partnerships, how you interacted with Leka
when it was time to vote.
How you interacted with Nia,
how you interacted with Jonna,
how you interacted with Aviv.
There's a commonality between me, Leka, Jonna, Nia,
and to some degree, Aviv.
And that was the reason for the distance.
What-- What was the commonality?
We Black!
[tense musical flourish]
He did have an aggressive way to talk to females
when it isn't going his way.
I'm an athlete, so his language didn't offend me,
but I can see how it can offend other people.
He's such a good man, like, but,
as the game developed, he knew he [bleep] up.
I think he was just in a bubble where he didn't know what to do.
Gabe, what do you want to say to these women?
[clears throat]
[sighs]
I love every single one of these women.
There was even a point
where me and Jonna were talking about our upbringing.
-And what you guys don't know-- -It's wildly similar.
It's literally very, very similar.
We're both adopted, and I never want
somebody to feel like
I have pushed on the fact that I feel like they're less than me.
And I feel like that is kind of the consensus
that I was walking around with.
I feel disappointed in myself, um,
and to anyone that I ever
made them feel like that, I'm sorry.
Um, and I hope that
if I do come back, you guys see that change in me.
I already see the change.
Been in therapy, and, I mean,
different things like that, 'cause that is something
that I'm like, "Yeah, that needs to change.
And it needs to change now."
You being able to own up to it, Gabe, is so huge.
That-that's so huge, and growth as well, so...
Oh, look, they hugged back. Look at that!
-I knew we'd be friends. -Progress, you guys! Progress.
All right, let's move on
to another team that had a few hurdles.
Turbo and Sydney.
Sydney, when did those cracks start to show?
It was just so toxic,
like, he had told me at the beginning,
"If you want to be my partner, I need to feel like the alpha."
I was like, "Bet. Whatever."
I can stroke a man's ego.
All day.
Bring you tea,
I'll clean up your plate, like,
then it just turned into like--
-Oh my [bleep]-- -Oh my God!
You just said that you were damn near
like a housewife.
Yes.
She knew what she needed to do
in order to make the partnership thrive.
[bleep] that! She's a baller too!
It got to a point where
I would say hi to Theo
and then he wouldn't talk to me, like, all day,
because he hated Theo.
I'm like making Yeremi tea one day,
and he doesn't talk to me for the entire day
because I serviced another man.
Ooh!
-And then... -[groans]
...I'm sad because of my boyfriend.
What? Like, that's so [bleep] stupid!
-This is real. -Let her talk.
Turbo, you had an issue when Sydney made tea
for Yeremi?
No, this is all misunderstanding.
First of all, I am always alpha, no matter what.
This is my style.
If you doesn't like, this is your problem.
You guys can be pussy or something. This is different.
You guys have to understand, when I go to competition,
I am focusing myself.
And I accept this is my partner, has to acting same.
I grew up different culture. I grew up different discipline.
She grew up different. This is my fault.
But my partner, when she's talking with someone,
she always says something wrong.
You know, and she doesn't realize.
That's why I always say to her,
"Hey, can you please shut up? Let's go focus the final.
Take this money, and then..."
Let me see if I get this right, Turbo.
Do whatever we want.
In the competition, you want your partner to be locked in
-in the competition. -Yeah.
That's why he said I wasn't allowed to make phone calls.
-[all gasp] -You couldn't make phone calls?
[Turbo] Exactly.
Did you stop making phone calls in the house?
-Phone calls to who? -To my boyfriend.
Oh!
Wait, did you actually stop making phone calls?
[Sydney] I did them without him knowing.
She had to do it in secret!
Because when you call home,
you guys is crying like you're pussy
and wants to go home.
You guys acting like I put her in some room,
and I make everything.
I just tell words.
Do it or not do it. This is not, "You has to do it."
Turbo, I think you gotta realize,
the way you see this game,
the way you play this game,
is game 100% of the time.
Full throttle.
And that works for you.
For other people though, like her, she needs her friends.
Yeah, I learn this one. This is my fault.
I'm learning. I guess, I open my mind,
I understand, too, people, yeah,
like Banana say, people need to socialize.
I don't regret locking in.
Turbo was the best partner option for me at the time.
Is there anything you want to say to Turbo
about how he treated you?
[Sydney] No, I don't. Like, I--
I think some of it can be,
you know, a cultural nuance. Know what I mean?
-What does that mean? -It's good.
-Do you think-- -So...
Do you think it's a scapegoat a little bit?
Absolutely.
It does seem like, though, there was a theme this season
of women bending over backwards
for their male partners to try and keep the peace,
when you guys are just as good,
if not, better than some of them.
-[Nany gasps] -[Ashley] What? What?
-There's a spider, I'm sorry. -[Devyn] Oh my God.
The season of badass females. Oh my God, there's a spider!
[laughter]
I know. Literally! Nany, way to undermine the point!
-Yeah. -It takes a real man
to own up to stuff,
to apologize, and to realize,
-you know, what's within. -Yeah.
-But... -[sighs happily]
-I'm so proud of you! -[challengers cheer]
She knew that that was stupid.
I'm sorry! It was a dumb [bleep] move.
What do you want me to do?
Will there be a reunion hookup, Nan?
Is there a closet around here anywhere?
It just seemed like he was along for the ride, you know?
Taking up some space.
-[gasps loudly] -What?
[all exclaim in awe]
Can't hide behind the confessional now.
[upbeat rock musical transition]
[cheers and applause]
[Devyn] Welcome back. This is The Challenge 41 Reunion.
Let's dive into one of the wildest twists of the season.
The moment when permanent partners
suddenly weren't so permanent.
And players got the chance to stake a claim.
At first, it seemed like most challengers
were ready to ride it out with their partners,
except Gabe.
He was the first to shake things up.
Maybe not entirely on his own.
Let's just say a few players with ulterior motives...
-[coughs] Theo! -...gave him a little push.
It seems like my best case scenario
is Gabe staking, that gives me a chance of staying safe.
So Theo and Adrienne,
um, Olivia and Aneesa,
they're all gonna say the same name.
Probably Ashley and Leo.
That's my alliance.
Where is this coming from?
End of the day, put it this way,
there's a mole in here and it's Jonna.
[Olivia] I think you need to stake a claim.
[dramatic musical stinger]
Does anybody want to stake a claim?
Justin.
-Oh, mother[bleep]. -You mother[bleep].
He just told Gabe it was gonna be him
going into elimination and that was not true.
Gabe's a [bleep] grown man.
I didn't tell him to pick Nany.
-[dramatic stinger] -Wow.
-You got me again, bitches! -[cheering]
I didn't want to go into elimination
and I warned Gabe that these are the consequences,
these are the repercussions of these actions.
[heavy breathing]
-[horn blares] -[challengers cheer]
Let's go!
[Jonna] I'm sorry.
-Listen... -[Gabe mumbles]
-I did this to you. -I know.
These people, they'll do anything, they'll say anything.
[Gabe sniffles]
-This sucks. -[Jonna] It does suck.
-That's some ho-ass [bleep]! -Damn!
[Johnny] That is some ho-ass [bleep]!
-Damn! -Play your own game!
Stop playing Olivia and Theo's, everyone.
Just remember, you helped this beautiful little baby boy...
-You're gonna name him Gabe? -...win $220,000.
And I got to take out loads of people.
[Johnny] I have a question.
Gabe, how much of you staking a claim
was your own doing and how much of it was you--
Pressure from the outside influence?
Uh, I would probably say
25% was my own doing.
Just because I'm hearing that my name is gonna be said
to be sent into elimination tonight.
And I think that was from Theo.
[Johnny] You guys are good, man!
You two are dangerous.
From my point of view, it was between us two.
Drowning man's always gonna pull the other drowning man down.
And I got two options, either vote for you,
which I didn't want to do, or,
put the fate in your own hands, and, you know,
not persuade you to stake, but you could've staked.
Olivia, this was just as much your plan
as it was Theo's.
Do you have any remorse about how it all went down?
Yeah, I mean, it's [bleep],
but, you know, would I do it again? Yeah.
This is why people were playing against you,
because you manipulate them to hurt themselves
and other people can see it.
-It's a game. -Isn't that just the game?
Why am I getting crucified for it?
Everyone plays different.
I point it out because there's a lot of conversation about,
"People hate Olivia. Why are people against her?"
It's moves like this, where everybody else is aware
of who influenced him.
Gabe has been talking about wanting to stake for days.
This is not a surprise.
Jonna, are you pissed at Theo and Olivia,
given that they set this whole thing in motion
and basically encouraged Gabe?
Like, I'm upset that...
Like, everything in that argument spun to me.
Like I was the problem.
-You know? That's-- -But you weren't.
-You weren't. -[Jonna] I know!
If he wanted to do something anyway,
the fire was already lit, just fan the flames.
If something's falling, give it a push.
That's what happened!
We saw that clearly,
that Gabe also wanted to change partners.
Gabe, why did you go after Justin?
-So... -Olivia told him to.
The conversation between me and Turbo.
[Turbo] Yeah, I want to say something.
I did this one by accident on purpose.
On purpose? How did that happen?
What did you do on accident on purpose?
My plans to make Gabe and Ashley partners.
But [bleep] my English,
I tell him to... "Nany's side, Nany's side."
He just picked Nany's partner.
He meant to do something...
-Oh! -It's Turbo's fault!
-That's what happened? -Yeah.
Gabe thought you said, "Go for Nany,"
-Yeah. -...instead of "Go for Ashley."
-My English. -That's the only thinking
behind why I chose Justin.
I've watched people say that I'm an easy beat,
so I had a bad feeling it was gonna be me.
Well, if Gabe's move shook the house,
this next stake a claim tore the roof off the place.
And the center of it all, Yeremi and Aviv.
Take a look.
I just want you to know,
coming from me, that I will be saying your name today.
[dramatic musical stinger]
Makes no sense to give people a heads-up.
Does anyone want to stake a claim right now?
[intense dramatic music plays]
I am going to be staking a claim on Olivia.
I feel so foolish.
This entire nominations has become an absolute disaster.
-Whooped my ass. -[laughter]
They thought they were gonna get me,
but they didn't.
We're gonna start it off with Theo and Adrienne.
[clears throat]
Um, I spoke to Nany the other day, said...
I'm not gonna say her name, so...
unfortunately, I got to say Aviv and Will.
Will and Aviv, you're up.
Who are you two voting for?
One I'm in together with,
the other I've been day one since the beginning,
and now I hear crickets.
Give us a second, my God!
I don't have a second. Gotta go now. What are you talking about?
Think about the final right now, Will.
Nany and Justin.
[pops]
[Lavin] Nany and Justin.
[Nany] [bleep] you. Our vote's for...
Will and Aviv.
[Yeremi] Our vote is for Nany and Justin.
[Lavin] In my hand I have a coin.
Okay. It's Will and Aviv.
[gasps]
[Justin] Oh my God.
Work out in the end.
What are-- What the [bleep] is wrong with you?
I wasn't gonna say your [bleep] name!
I can't [bleep] believe that Nany and Justin
just got out of this situation
after they just [bleep] burned me to the ground.
But don't worry, karma is [bleep] coming for you two.
It did.
Good movie!
-Good movie! -Wow!
[cheers and applause]
Can I clear one thing up? 'Cause this is a thing
that upset me the most.
I was so grateful that Nany came to me.
Nany and I were close all season.
We were so close, Aviv, and that's why I told you.
There were tears in her eyes and I knew Nany doesn't go--
She knew that that was stupid.
And what upset me was that Nany thought
that I went and told him,
and then he decided, and we came up with this thing.
-Is that not what happened? -[Aviv] No.
You're saying Yeremi didn't decide to stake a claim
because Nany told you?
-[Aviv] Yes. -[overlapping chatter]
-Yeah, Yeremi. -She came to me in the morning.
That's after they had their conversation,
"They're 100% voting us, we're [bleep]."
[Aviv] Just want you to know. That's it.
[Yeremi] Got it. Ran into Sydney,
and Sydney was like, "You hear what's going on?"
"Yeah, I'm [bleep]." She's like, "You totally are [bleep]."
"Are you gonna stake a claim?"
I was like... [sighs] "I don't know.
I'm pretty tired."
-And, you know... -[laughter]
And I want to run with Aviv,
and she grabs me by the collar, like,
"You're not [bleep] tired.
You're gonna run up that mountain.
You can do this.
-I need you to do this." -I did.
And she helped not just influence me,
but she helped push me to say, "[bleep] you, Theo."
-[laughter] -And it was great.
It worked out [bleep] perfectly.
He was super pissed off.
And I was like, "Oh, I love this."
[Devyn] Okay, so now we know
that Sydney was the mastermind behind this.
But Will, you said karma came for Nany.
-Came for both of them. -What did I do?
If we're rocking with each other,
just because you're not saying my name, you're not saving me.
-Right? -I was supposed to save you?
Yeah, because we were all going in
-on Aviv... -We were-- Will!
Go ahead, I'll wait.
-Yes, thank you. -You're welcome.
You were there when I made that deal with Theo.
-And then everything changes. -Yes.
[Will] I told you not to.
-Everything switches. I'm sorry. -Right.
It was a dumb [bleep] move, what do you want me to do?
Everything happens so fast.
Sitting there, that was like ten minutes, we sat there.
So it wasn't like, real fast, so that's a lie.
We were-- Justin, were we not--
I'm sorry, Olivia, but-- Actually, no,
I looked at you and said, "I'm sorry, Olivia."
Because we were gonna say your guys' name, you said our name.
-Then Justin-- -It took us a minute
to figure out what we were doing. We were dumbfounded.
That's not something I wanted to do.
Once he said my name, I had to, but realistically,
me and Nany looked at each other, looked at Olivia...
-Sorry. -Sorry, Olivia.
We're gonna have to say your name.
After we had also just told her
we didn't want to say her name.
[Devyn] Will, is this you-all's first time
like, seeing each other in person since the show?
-Yeah. -What's the status now?
-We're cool. -Yeah, we're cool.
-No bad blood. -We still talk, yeah.
I won't forget, but...
You guys still hang out?
You won't forget what?
Can be together again?
What are you talking about?
Have you hooked up since?
We wanna see another Challenge baby.
-Is that-- Nany-- -Oh my God!
Nany's smiling. Will there be a reunion hook-up, Nan?
What did you just ask me?
-Ooh! -On your knee!
Is there a closet around here anywhere?
[Will] Oh, you know, we were all hanging out,
uh, last night, you know.
-Shooting the [bleep]. -Trying to spin the block,
-is what you're saying? -No.
I'm a gentleman.
All right? How dare you.
-Okay. -She did-- she took a shower.
She's in her towel, I was like, "You wanna pop out of that?"
"I'm on my period." "All right, going to my room."
[laughter]
-[Devyn] This just-- Thank you. -Get the [bleep] out of here!
We'll poke around on that, we'll explore that a bit later.
Okay, Yeremi's stake a claim shook things up,
but did it reveal snakes were living in the house all along?
When we come back, we'll find out who was at fault
for stirring up all the chaos.
-Right after this. -Did someone say snakes?
Why is this bitch talking still?
Why is she still asking her questions?
What are you talking about?
You are a hater! You're a hater.
You want a hater so you can be relevant.
If y'all would have pulled your weight more,
I could have had better points.
Shut the [bleep] up, Ashley!
Come on, bitch! Let's go!
[dramatic stinger]
[upbeat rock musical transition]
[cheers and applause]
Welcome back, I'm Devyn Simone,
hanging with the Vets and New Threats,
and digging into the drama from this season of The Challenge.
Now, when Yeremi staked a claim,
it put a target on Will for elimination
that would ultimately send him home.
But was it Nany and Justin's vote
that put the final nail in his coffin?
Or was it Cedric and Michaela's plan
to bury him all along?
[Nany] We got a letter, well, you got a letter from Will,
and it's actually kind of concerning.
He's saying that he feels used by us.
What about Cedric?
He really needs to take his anger out on his best friend
that literally knew the whole time what was happening
and didn't give him a heads-up.
[Justin] Cedric and Michaela had this planned from the start.
They've been wanting this.
They played one dirty [bleep] game.
Did I support the vote of Aviv and Yeremi?
A thousand percent!
Nany was going to vote that way!
[Nany] Because you wanted it!
-No, we had-- -You did!
You said, "I want Yeremi and Aviv."
Michaela, you can't play me, bro.
You said, "I want Yeremi and Aviv."
I went to Aviv out of respect as a human being
-and I let her know. -And that was a dumb move!
Okay!
How are you gonna blame Michaela and I
for your decision to put Will in?
-You decided that! -My decision?
Did you or did you not
-put Will into elimination? -Did Will say my name first?
[arcade game bleeping]
-I wasn't there. -Exactly.
So shut your [bleep] mouth!
You overplayed your hand and put you in a hard position,
you took too long to tell Will you weren't gonna say his name,
you sent Will into elimination.
I hear a whole lot of "yous," why you mad at me?
-Ha-ha! -There's a lot going on here.
Everyone seems to have their reasons
for why they're not at fault here,
so why don't we get to the bottom of it?
There's a lot of finger pointing.
Will, you left Justin a letter, blaming him
and Nany for, ultimately, your elimination.
Still feel it's their fault?
I wouldn't say 100% their fault,
but obviously it has a part in it.
Why didn't you leave Nany a letter?
I didn't want to talk to Nany. [chuckles]
-Didn't want to talk to Nany? -No.
-Interesting. -Hmm!
-Makes a lot of sense. -All right!
Nany, obviously we just heard Will sort of
blames you for being the reason he went into elimination.
But then we see you go so hard
at Michaela and Cedric, essentially saying it's--
They're the reason. Can you help us understand?
Yes, I can. I think I just snapped.
And I truly felt like my game was already over.
At the end of the day, they were not wrong.
Honest to God. Yes, you wanted them,
but at the end of the day, that was my decision.
I apologize for that.
[Devyn] That's really big of you, Nan.
Do you still think that, um,
-Cedric should have told... -[Nany] Yes.
-...Yeremi? -One thousand percent.
I will stand on this [bleep] till the day that I die, Cedric.
-I believe you. -I one thousand percent think
you should have told him to put on his [bleep] gym shoes.
Yeremi didn't tell me he was staking a claim.
I had two counteracting pieces of information,
so what I did to Will was like,
"Hey, man, be prepared."
If I knew Yeremi was gonna stake a claim,
I would've been like, "Will, get ready for this.
Stretch, get your shoes on." All that.
Is there anyone else who feels like
Michaela and Cedric were low-key snakes this season?
[Theo] I'm gonna say this.
Michaela has come at Olivia
-all season, as we're watching. -How?
Saying Olivia is this and that.
But Olivia never turned on any of her alliance.
And never would have.
Uh, Olivia, do you have anything to speak to that?
We going to Olivia again.
-Every question. -[Olivia] Um, yeah.
I feel like we're both playing this game,
maybe a little differently, but, like,
me telling Gabe to stake is no different than you
turning on Yeremi and Aviv.
-So, it's like-- -I wasn't aligned with Yeremi.
You're picking one person from a team and aligning with them?
-Yeah. -Okay, that's-- [laughs]
The agreement with Aviv,
based on what she said at the very beginning is,
"Hey, we can rock together until that time."
And when that time happens, bitch, it's that time.
It's not my job to let them know.
It's they job to figure out what time it is.
You discredit everything I do,
and it's not up to you to build me up or compliment me,
-that's fine. -What do you mean everything?
What are you talking about?
Anytime you're on the screen
talking about me, it's bashing whether--
It's my intelligence, the way I play the game,
my athletic ability,
um, online, you're going above and beyond to comment on
multiple fan pages...
No, I'm not. I've only commented on one Challenge post...
-I haven't said one thing. -...that I was in the video.
Ninety-five percent of your confessionals are about Olivia.
[overlapping shouting]
Girl, you've been mumbling this entire reunion,
[bleep] about me, right there, I've been hearing it.
You said, "Why is this bitch talking still?
Still asking her questions?"
-That's not what I said. -Yes, you did! I heard you!
I said, "Why do they keep trying to make
the questions about Olivia?"
Girl, you are a hater!
-You're a hater. -Why do you care?
You want a hater so you can be relevant.
So at the end of the day...
Well, guess what? Thank you!
Michaela, how do you feel your gameplay is different?
There's never been a time where I had any working relationship
with someone when they were in hot water,
and I didn't at least try and do my best
to shift things around.
That's the difference between me and you.
You let people stick their neck out
when you knew it only was gonna benefit you.
I didn't say you're a bad game player, you're good.
I'm saying there are things that you do
and you say that I'm doing, that are so wrong,
that I see mirrored, that you do.
I don't see anything mirrored.
I don't know that you will ever see eye to eye,
even just going so hard in this discussion,
there's a certain level of respect,
whether you see it or not,
for how strong you guys play in this game.
And I think the fans really enjoy that too.
I do feel like it is time for another round
of Hangnail, and Cedric,
we saw you end the season
with a cold shoulder from the rest of the challengers,
but that didn't seem to faze you.
So, let's see if one of our fan questions can faze you.
-[Cedric grunts] -[cheering]
-Ceddie! -There you go, Ceddie!
[tense music playing]
[Cedric] "Turbo called Derek fake as [bleep].
Who do you think is the most fake in this room?"
Do you want to answer that or nominate another challenger?
-[whispers] Answer it. -Answer!
Okay, so I would say most fake person to the majority,
I think would be Derek Chavez.
Can you explain why you feel that way?
Yeah, nothing against Derek,
Derek's actually been cool and really good to me.
Nothing against Derek, but you called him the fakest
out of this entire group on the stage?
Derek has said things to a lot of different people.
-Name 'em! -And not...
Like, for Derek and Justin,
or when you started with, um...
Derek wanted Yeremi and Will,
-but, which... -And I told them to their face.
-You did. -Okay, next.
-[laughter] -I don't know.
-I don't know. That's-- -Okay. Thank you!
Derek, I'm sorry!
Cedric, you did a great job. Thank you. Have a seat.
-Thanks! -[applause]
-Whoo! -[laughter and cheering]
[Devyn] Turbo, we saw you call Derek "FF."
My partner and I are gonna say Dee and Turbo today.
Wow. Derek.
You're a jealous mother [bleep].
First, you did to me fake friendship,
and then you try to put me inside.
[Derek] You want me to say Leroy?
Want me to say all those other people?
It's gonna be somebody.
[Turbo] Your nickname is "FF,"
aka, "Fake as [bleep]."
[intense dramatic musical stinger]
Can I just ask you where the fakeness came?
Because I went to you and told you I was voting Dee.
-I woke you up. -[Turbo] Okay.
-Welcome. I hate that-- -How am I fake?
Let me explain. I hate that [bleep], brother.
You always, every single day with me,
you and Aneesa, we all--
every day is like a friend, you know?
Acting friend, you tried acting,
show me the Spanish, we are so cool, you know?
If your plan's to send me inside,
just don't be friendship!
-It wasn't though. -It wasn't?
Bro, you have something, that's why you're fake as [bleep].
And you doesn't know how you're acting.
You go people, like it-- Nicey, nicely.
And then last minute, last minute,
you come, "Hey, I'm gonna tell your name."
"[bleep] you! Go tell my name."
So why you [bleep] shake my hand?
-Justin is one thing. -This is fake as [bleep].
If you wanna call me fake, call me about that. That's fine.
Everyone's gonna say everyone's name,
-but you go like this, fake it. -You act like I didn't meet you
the same time I met these other people.
You're fake as [bleep], this is true.
If I'm fake as [bleep], you're a hypocrite.
-You're fake as [bleep]. -You [bleep] got mad
because you thought CT threw it,
and then she automatically threw it,
and she threw him in, and there was no smoke for her.
Where was that?
That's called a reaction, not an action.
Guys, this has nothing to do with me!
This is about you two!
Does anybody else here think Derek is fake?
I don't think Derek's fake for that,
he's fake for the Justin part, but not with Turbo.
[Olivia] It was also so early in the game still,
where, when we were voting Johnny in,
I wanted Johnny to be the Hangnail.
No secret there.
But I went to Turbo and said,
"Hey, do you care if I say Dee? You're gonna be the Hangnail."
Thinking, because he is always like,
"I don't care. Throw me in the sand."
He has this aura to him that he wouldn't care. He did.
[Theo] And he was saved.
That's why we didn't say Dee's name.
And that's how Izzy got voted in.
For me, this is--
cannot be on the table, this question,
if you're my friend.
Everyone can vote me, I don't care.
I asked him. I told him I was gonna do it.
You can vote me. This is part of the game.
-And also though... -My style...
-...they voted in... -Shut up!
-They voted in-- -Can you finish? Shut up.
They made me a Hangnail. Did I say anything? No!
Oh my God. Bro, can you [bleep] shut up?
-No! -[laughter]
He's trying to say that...
Don't be nice to me and then...
Right, he doesn't appreciate the niceties,
which, like, I'm a niceties person.
Derek's a niceties person, living in a house together.
Turbo's saying don't be nice, essentially,
and then say my name.
Coming up, it's "Smashley" unleashed.
From Sudoku showdowns to shovel struggles,
were her partners the problem?
Or was she her own biggest obstacle?
It was me!
[laughter]
I'm just trying to give the people what I like.
I mean, it was fun.
So you're doubling down!
I'm just a girl!
I'm actually really nice to everybody,
and I'm friendly to everybody.
That wasn't the case.
He can be an asshole, he knows that.
He is an asshole.
[tense music plays, fades]

[all cheering]
Welcome back. We're talking all things Challenge 41,
and one of the most unpredictable things this season
was if Ashley would get along with her partner.
From forgetting the New Threats' names,
to clashing over puzzles,
shovels and everything in between,
one thing you could always count on
was that Smashley was ready to enter the game
at any moment.
-Ashley, right here! -Coming!
Sudoku, let's [bleep] go.
-Right now, we have two 8's... -Be quiet.
-Can I do this? -Got you.
-I need a... -I have an idea.
Shh! Six here! Don't tell me your ideas!
You need to do like I did, like that!
-[Yeremi pants] Damn it. No. -You broke the shovel.
It's so funny to me that
Ashley is yelling at Yeremi, telling him what to do,
especially when he's been the strongest New Threat here.
[pensive music playing]
[bleep] idiot!
How do I get this flat?
The gray has to be on the top, obviously.
That's the top, obviously, 'cause it's flat!
I mean, let's use our [bleep] brain!
I swear to the Lord above,
if he does not get this puzzle,
I am taking this go-kart and I'm running him over!
-Check! -[ding]
[Ashley] Go, go, go!
Go! Drive, at least, please.
Do something, CT.
God!
Why did I not pick you?
[laughter]
There was not one thing wrong with one of you.
I want to say you were all amazing.
I don't know what happens. I'm very competitive.
I came into this season
not as in shape as I should, not as prepared.
How'd you prepare, Ashley?
Um, crying, because I had to come back
into this situation with you assholes.
And wondering why I didn't finish college
so I could have a real job to make money.
Let's break these down individually.
Let's start with the Sudoku with Leo.
Okay? You didn't seem interested
in hearing him breathe, really.
Let me tell you why.
He didn't understand all of the rules.
-I didn't know how to fill... -The boxes?
So you were feeling confident
that you mastered the part that you learned.
This [bleep] is a breeze!
What did you learn, being partnered with Ashley?
If you don't have [bleep] patience,
you can't work with Ashley, right?
But I did say to Ashley, "Ashley, I love you,
but God almighty, you are such a bitch
to work with," right?
But when you learn how to put her in check,
and she understands you could stand up for yourself,
-she gave me leeway. -In competition,
I don't mind if I'm like, "Come on! Come on!"
And they're like, "I'm coming!"
-I will shut up real quick. -She was quiet.
Like I said, it's not me, it's just coming out of me.
Like, "Come on! Can someone else just do the work for me?
-I'm just a girl!" -Were you doing all the work
when you were with Yeremi, Ashley?
'Cause you had every issue with his digging skills.
Okay, so I'm giving him more tips to dig better,
'cause I know I've only got a couple more of these
digs coming before that's all I've got.
So I'm giving him my best--
-Just trying to help him? -I'm trying to help him
before my arms can't help him anymore.
You know what? Let me say this.
I have four years straight
of digging experience from the Marine Corps,
and then I come into this challenge,
and she's like, "I barely know how to dig." I'm like, "Okay.
I'm a professional." She's like,
"He doesn't [bleep] listen."
And the one thing I listen to her, she's like,
"Put the shovel against the rod
and use the leverage to undo it."
And I broke the [bleep] shovel.
I was like, "Shut the [bleep] up, Ashley!"
We saw you obviously have issues with Theo.
I was afraid of sabotage.
I was afraid, "Oh, he's trying to get my ass in there."
You thought he was doing that on purpose?
Well, also, why would he pick the two hardest puzzles
when he knows that he's dumb?
[all laugh]
Honestly, I only cared about the driving.
I'm fifty-fifty with puzzles.
Sometimes I'm good at them, the other half, I'm terrible.
Those aren't necessarily winning odds, Theo,
but it's valid, I appreciate the...
-I won a puzzle elimination. -...the honesty.
Gabe, I see you making faces over there.
What was it like working with Ashley?
I mean, it was fun.
There was a time where I felt like I was being encouraging,
and she was like, "Shut up, Gabe!"
"Just go! Just walk!"
I don't like when people encourage me.
-I don't like... -Yeah, she don't like that.
What do you like, Ashley?
"Come on, bitch! Let's go!"
-[all laugh] -Then I'm like, "Let's go!"
Ashley's love language is verbal abuse.
And I really apologize that I was a [bleep] competitor.
And I took it out on you guys,
but if y'all would've done a little bit better,
-we could've got more points. -Huh?
I literally picked you up and carried you up the hill.
So you're doubling down?
-[laughs] -Okay.
Trash talk is part of every Challenge,
but now it's time for some accountability with a twist.
Up next, CT is acting out some of the shadiest things
that were said this season.
Don't miss it, right after this.
[all cheer]
Lock in, CT.
-[dance music plays] -[challengers laugh]
[woman] Literally, bro.
[challengers] Literally, bro!
Shut up. Listen to me.
Okay, guys.
-Pussy. -Settle down.
-You better be careful! -Hey! Hey!
[upbeat rock musical transition]
[all cheer]
Welcome back to The Challenge Reunion.
Challengers love to throw some shade,
but now it's time to take accountability
for their words with a little help from our friend CT.
He's ready to flex his acting chops
and reenact some of the shadiest things said this season.
Challengers, it's up to you to guess who he's quoting.
Once we reveal who it is,
that person will have to own up to what they said
and, it may or may not go over so well.
Okay, CT, hit us with the first shady moment.
Will, he's just kind of an asshole.
Let's just say he's not a ray of sunshine.
I have to pee.
[funky comedic music plays]
-[laughter] -That's Olivia!
Seems like a consensus. Let's see if you're right.
Turn it around like it's a backpack.
Will is just...
kind of an asshole.
Let's just say he's not a ray of sunshine. Okay?
[laughter]
Does anyone else here think Will is an asshole?
[laughter]
-[Devyn] Okay! Great. -He has his moments.
-Moments, but not asshole. -Nany, Aneesa?
-[Ashley gasps] -What?
-Johnny, you're annoying.
-I said he's an asshole. -He is an asshole sometimes.
I'm very misunderstood, I guess you could say.
Okay, that's totally fair.
Let's do CT's next performance.
[playful music playing]
These people don't have a brain.
-Like... -Sydney!
Sydney.
-[laughter and chatter] -Sydney.
Let's see if you're right.
I'm a public defender.
I know.
These people don't have a brain like I have a brain.
And they're saying lawyer.
Someone asked me if I was a paralegal.
[tense comedic music plays, fades]
Next.
Sydney, who do you think here doesn't have a brain?
[Sydney] Um, Jesus Christ.
[Devyn] You can't hide behind the confessional now.
-Jake. -What?
-[laughter] -Not Jake catching strays
-all the way over here. -Didn't know what was going on.
Just seemed like he was along for the ride.
-What do you say to that? -Taking up some space.
You silly girl!
I'm not the sharpest tool in the box, I'll give you that.
See, I didn't even understand what he just said.
I own it, to be fair. I will.
What you see is what you get.
I might be dumb but it is what it is.
Let's go see if we can understand
another one of CT's renditions. Hit it, C.
Bro, like, literally...
I always thought that Chavez was a snake.
-[dance music plays] -[laughter and chatter]
Who do we think? Sounds like we think it's Dee?
[Dee] There's a lot of hesitation
working with Derek Chavez.
I've always thought he was a snake.
[dramatic beat thuds]
Part of me is praying that this is a guy's day,
because we have not been aligned in this game at all.
-Literally. -Literally, bro.
-[challengers] Literally! -Literally, bro.
All right, Dee, can you give me some examples
of what makes Derek C. a snake?
Yeah, you try to be a little too nice to our face, but then...
-I don't think that's true. -...that wasn't the case.
I don't think that's true.
I'm actually really nice to everybody.
And I'm friendly to everybody.
And so me being with the rookies
is actually getting-- to try to get to know you guys.
To then stab them in the back.
-[dramatic music plays] -CT, hit us with the last one.
-All right, here we go. -[dramatic music winds down]
-Ooh, yeah! -[laughter]
[challengers] Leroy!
CT not only has a dad bod,
but he's got a dad bod of three dads
who do nothing all day
but sit on the couch and chew cigarettes.
-[record scratches] -[all exclaim]
[laughter and gasps]
-[glass shatters] -[cat yowls]
[Leroy] What you must understand is
CT not only has a dad bod,
but he has the bod of three dads
who do nothing all day
but sit on the couch and chew on cigarettes.
-Okay, Leroy! -[Devyn] Leroy!
That is-- That is AI.
-[laughter] -[feigns wincing in pain]
So, CT, how do you feel about this?
I think this was fun. I think we need more of this.
[Devyn] Give it up for our superstar actor, CT!
[cheers]
Thank you for bringing the drama to life.
Up next, roses are red, violets are blue,
Turbo's all about honor,
but what happens when competitors don't play true?
Turbo's calling out the most dishonorable challengers next.
-[rock music plays] -[applause]
[upbeat rock musical transition]
[applause]
All show long, we've been unpacking drama,
and if you make dishonorable moves on The Challenge,
drama is what you're going to get from Turbo.
Turbo made it clear from the start
that he's a man of honor,
so when Derek, CT and Theo started playing shady,
he didn't hold back.
Let's break these down individually.
Let's start with Turbo versus CT.
Uh, CT not doing it because of the girls.
[CT] All right, cool, bro.
To put me on front street in front of everybody like this,
and automatically accuse me like he's the judge and jury...
I know I'm not perceived that well.
Turbo, you could have talked to me in private.
Instead you want to put on a show
and act like I threw it on purpose.
We are all talking everything, CT.
Well, if we're talking, then talk.
-You are pussy, brother. -You're a [bleep] pussy.
You are [bleep] biggest pussy.
You [bleep] didn't climb there because...
Turbo, I couldn't get up!
Don't raise your voice again to me, okay?
-Turbo and CT. -[chatter and laughter]
You [bleep] didn't climb it on purpose.
No, I did not!
Then don't [bleep] come!
I'll come anytime I [bleep] want!
[dramatic musical stinger]
Turbo, you got into quite a few arguments this season,
because you felt like people were being dishonorable.
Why is honor so important to you?
I will explain. Wait a minute.
[laughter]
[Nany] What do we have--?
-Okay? -Oh my God.
[Turbo] And I told you, CT.
CT. [laughs]
Did you print those out?
You are brave.
You are intelligent.
You are trusting.
You are caring.
You are honest.
You are... bitch.
You know?
Okay, I don't play that game.
I just say directly, straight to face.
Just in case, CT, if nobody told you today,
you are big pussy, brother.
[challengers gasp]
-Don't do that, brother. -Why don't do that?
We're not in The Challenge house.
My English already bad.
-Don't disrespect me. -Shut up. Listen to me.
Turbo, watch your mouth.
When I give you permission, you can talk.
-Shut up. You shut up. -Shut the [bleep] up, Turbo.
-Okay, guys. -[bleep] pussy.
-Settle down. -We're not in The Challenge.
Get off my [bleep]!
Stop the growling.
-You better be careful. -[indistinct]
We're not in the [bleep] house.
You come near me, you're gonna see a different side of me.
-If you are man, we gonna see-- -Shut up, Turbo!
-Okay. -I'm gonna
[bleep] you up so bad.
[overlapping shouting, arguing]
[bleep]
Did you throw that daily?
[dramatic music plays]
I don't care at this point. It's done.
[Ashley] It's reality TV!
So let's be real!
Who did you call? You know who the [bleep] you called.
We're not friends!
When you say about honor and respect,
really and truly, you are a pussy.
[bleep] you!
[upbeat rock music plays]
