\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand he will kick your ass, Cory.
Even if you have muscles, but it's not about that.
It's about strategy.

Dude, it's hard. \h\h\hOh, my God.

Keep holding it. Hold it. \h\h\h\h\hHold it, Cory.
Hold it. Hold it.
- Cory is basically looking \h\hlike a [bleep] sandwich
\h\h\h\hin this elimination. This is exactly what he does
when he's working out \h\hevery single day.
So why is he doing \h\h\hso bad at it?

Oh.
Keep going. Do it again.

50 feet away from each other.
You're holding onto a rope that's on fire.
And you need to whip it out of your partner's hands.
This elimination is gonna take balance, endurance,
strength, and strategy.

I mean, this guy is 2-0 in The Lair.
And it just feels good to know that one of my close friends

You went against a beast.

Take care, man.

We almost completed the mission, but unfortunately,
we couldn't get the job done.
I love you. Can't wait to see you again.

I'm nothing but proud of the man that he's become.
Nelson deserves that money, you know.

He deserves that money.
[coughs]
I want nothing but for him to go down there and win.
Celebrate it with his mom. Y'all know I'm emotional,
because I just know how much this means to him.
So, Nelson, go ahead.
Keep fighting, keep winning, and hopefully
you can bring that money home to your family.
Because I know you need it, man. So it's nothing but love.
Keep your head up. I'll be all right, bruh.
You already know I'm all right.
I just know when I do come back,
I'm coming with revenge on my mind.
- Logan getting it done.
The rookie just dominated tonight.
- Yeah.
- By winning tonight's elimination round,
it is time for a decision.
Do you want to go back to the Ruby Cell
or do you want to infiltrate and steal a spot
on the Sapphire cell or the Emerald cell?
What's it gonna be?
- I said Ruby until death, but that is death
when someone of your team shoot you.
I can't come back there, and neither to the Emerald.
So I have to go to the Sapphire.
- Logan breaks the pack.
He doesn't come back to Ruby team.
This game is just lies, spies, and allies.
I don't have any allies,
but I have a lot of spies and liars on my team.
- Okay, all right.
So whose spot do you wanna steal?
- I'm gonna take Kyle position.
- Sapphire Cell, you have been infiltrated.
Kyle, come on down.
- Kyle.
- Are you serious?
I tried to leave you, Ruby.
I don't wanna come back to you. Leave me alone.
- Team Ruby.
- No. - Yeah.
- Get out of here.
- He loves to see people miserable.
So I think when he's miserable we all love to see it.
Get your ass back to the Ruby team.
- All right, so, Kyle, you are now
rejoining the Ruby Cell. And, Logan, congratulations.
You are on the Sapphire Cell. Go ahead and join your teams.
- Come here, Kyle. Yeah.
- Hey, partner.
- Ruby.
- You can't stay away from me, Kyle.
- I'm going to Sapphire with CT, with Emy, with Kaycee.
Be afraid teams, because we are so [bleep] good.
- Team, good job.
- How does it feel? How does it feel?
- So nice today, so nice today, yes.
- Emerald is a strong team. I love my team,
but with every elimination that goes by Sapphire
seems to get stronger and stronger and stronger.
So we definitely have some competition.
- All right, agents, no matter how safe you think you are,
you don't win, you are always in the danger zone.
I'll see you at the next mission.
- Staying together. - So crazy.

He got the better of me tonight.
The greatest thing about this... this game
is that you just never know.
Anybody can beat anybody on any given night.
That's why you come out here and you perform.
But, um, I'm just a little disappointed.
It's never fun to lose.
But balance has never been my strength.
He's a surfer, so I know he's good at this.
I had my work cut out for me.
I wanna show my baby girls that Daddy didn't give up.
He went out fighting.
I wish I could be Superman and win 'em all,
but Daddy just doesn't have the cape yet.
A lotta these vets say that they have my back,
but at the end of the day,
they keep throwing me down here, so...
it's hard because you build a relationship
with these people,
and maybe taking a season or two off
might be best for me.
I think it is best for my family,
and I wanna come back when I'm hungry again.
I think I lost some of that hunger this season,
and it showed in my performance.
Looks like I'll be doing more battle ropes, man,
and come back better, stronger, faster
and hopefully better balance.
It's been real, y'all. I'm outta here!

\h\h\hl can't stop you. I wanna run with Casey.
