16 global MVPs,
14 "Challenge" legends--
it all comes down to this. - Ahh!
And now, the first ever "Challenge World Champions"
will be crowned.
After surviving a series of mentally and physically
demanding challenges and eliminations,
as well as backstabbing...
You always have to have that knife ready.
Blindsides and broken alliances...
Enough!
Only four teams remain.
A late-game pairing--
Australian champion Troy
and his legend partner Kaycee--
who have cemented their bond after triumphing
three eliminations together.
Troy and Kaycee win!
UK champion, Kaz and legend, Jordan,
who have clashed on how to play the game...
We're moving. We're not walking. Come on.
Yet still managed to win the challenge and elimination.
Check! [air horn blares]
And USA champion Danny and legend Tori,
who haven't seen eye-to-eye all season.
[both shout]
Whatever you want, Tori.
I wish you never picked me as a partner.
You could have had a way easier game if you didn't.
But need to find their team chemistry now more than ever.
And the final team, USA Champion Sarah
and legend Theo, who pulled out a win
in the last challenge of the season when it counted most.
Congratulations to you two.
You just punched your ticket to the final.
Finally.
It's every Challenger's dream to win a final.

This is fucked.
And now, to win the first ever title
of Challenge World Champion.
You are on another level.
Sarah, come on!

This is Loops of Hell.
You're gonna be running loops,
and it's going to be hell.
When I say go, you're gonna run along a treacherous trail
until you reach another circular trail.
You're gonna take a loop, and it is 4 miles long.
At the end of every loop, there's four checkpoints.
These are first come, first serve.
You get there first, you get to pick which
checkpoint you get to do.
You get there last, and you just have to take whatever
checkpoint hasn't been taken.
Then keep on running for another 4 miles.
Continue this process until
all the checkpoints are complete.
You have each been given a canister
with your country's flag on it.
You'll have to hold on to that canister
and use it when the time is right.
Once you have finished these four checkpoints and 16 miles,
be prepared for a whole lot more.

Yeah.
Let's do it.
All right, here's how it's gonna work.
When I say go, you will race to those bicycles,
jump on them, ride them through
a long, winding, and rough trail.
Once you've reached the end of the trail,
you'll leave the bikes behind.
Then, it's a brutal race.
Follow the thin red arrows
through the treacherous terrain the rest of the way.
It will take everything you've got.
This is your chance to become the first ever
Challenge World Champion
