TJ:
Previously on
The Challenge: USA...

The house was reeling
after a shocking twist.

There are no more teams.

And suddenly
everyone was at risk.

-TORI: All individual now.
-CASSIDY: Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry that

I'm putting this on you.
It's, like, overwhelming.

TJ:
In the first
individual challenge...

Welcome, everybody.

Today's challenge
is called Spell-Lunkers.

TORI:
This is treacherous.

TYLER:
Fuck that, bro. I'm not down.

TJ: ...it was two Challenge
vets who came out on top.

-Whoo!
-TJ: Congratulations,
Bananas and Tori.

Now you two nominate

one man and one woman

to put at risk of elimination.

And the winners reached out
to make new alliances.

We're going to take our vote
away from you guys,

and then, hopefully,
in the future if you guys win,

you do the same for us.

-Absolutely.
-100%.
-All right, cool.

TJ:
They put one couple on notice...

We send in Tyler and Alyssa.

TORI: So we're sending
the lovebirds on a date?

Crazy.

TJ:
...and a friendship in danger...

I'm trying to do my best
to get 'em out.

Anybody that's not you.

...as they scored a direct hit

on the Big Brother alliance.

Monte, you're up.

And in a dramatic,

nail-biting elimination,
Monte fell short

and was sent home.

(cheering)

And now alliances
are falling apart...

-Literally, everyone's throwing
me under the bus right now.
-Okay.

JOSH:
You've really dug yourself
in a hole, dude.

You have lied
on a lot of people.

...as the game inches
closer to the final...

-(groans)
-SEBASTIAN: She just hit hard.

...and anxiety
and distrust take over.

* *

Elimination win

in the books, baby!

TYLER: Coming back into the game

after a crazy
elimination like that,

honestly, I have
a newfound confidence.

It sucks we just lost Monte,

and, uh, it's going to be
a rocky road moving forward.

But I'm also now not afraid

to go down in the sand
and prove myself again.

Last but not least.

-Not least.
-Thank you.

I just lost one of my closest
allies in this house:

Monte. I feel very

emotionally drained
in this situation.

It feels like there's
a Big Brother player

in every single elimination.
But Tyler's still here,

so that's
something to celebrate.

He did so amazing.
I'm so proud of him.

He is literally
sunshine in human form,

and I love everything about him.

So there's seven Survivors
still in this game.

We haven't lost
a single member yet,

and I think
it's just a testament

to the grit
that you have to have

when you play Survivor,

and that gives us the advantage
against Big Brother.

BANANAS:
Popping your fucking
elimination cherry, bro,

-in a hell of a way, dude.
-Hell of a win, buddy.

SEBASTIAN:
Six votes,

-and I'm still right here.
-TORI: I know.

I really, really like you.

I feel like I came in here

with literally no expectations
of meeting you,

and I know
where it's at with us,

and it's
all great and I love it.

Sebastian and I are definitely

getting closer and closer.

Of course,
as a Challenge champ,

I wanted to come in and prove
to myself I could do it again,

but winning
$250,000 would be amazing.

I get to take that money
and bring it back home,

help my nephews out,
help my niece out,

help my sister out, and
I'm also writing a kids' book

and doing other things, too.

I really, really loved
these last 30 days.

I know. Me, too.

Been like the best thing ever.

FAYSAL: In the Challenge house,

it makes it that much easier

to pass the days by
when you got someone

to cuddle with.

Tori has been

down this road before,
and it hasn't

ended well for her.

And Seb, kind of being a rookie,

I already know he's gonna
want to attach himself to Tori.

It's just not good
for their games.

-100% focused.
-Yeah.

We have a few short
weeks left, and...

-Yeah.
-And I just happen to meet you.

-Mm-hmm.
-I'm so glad I did.

Me, too.

* *

MICHAELA:
We need to be moving

in a way that
builds trust with people

because there's clearly
an attack on...

on Survivors happening.

There's several
eliminations left to go.

Clearly, it's Big Brother
against Survivor,

and a lot of people
don't feel solid

with how Chris is navigating
through the house.

Chris is one of those people

who wants to say
that he's Survivor strong,

but he's all over the place.

He has connections
with a lot of people,

and all it's doing is causing
a lot of confusion around him

and making people
very skeptical.

Even though, you know,
your intentions

are good with how you move,

it-it does rub
some people the wrong way.

And so people
were sketched about you.

I'm telling you, most people.

-Including you?
-Uh, yeah, some of the way

that you move seemed
weird to me as well,

which is why
I came to you about it.

I played with people
that I like, okay?

That's just where I'm at.

Who are the people
that you like?

I'm protecting
Survivor people that I like.

And there's
a couple vets that I like.

Cory and Fessy
and Sebastian and Josh.

Those guys--
none of them have...

have been targeted...
has targeted me yet.

I've got great alliances
with the vets

and Survivor players,
but this game

changes every single day.

So hopefully the inroads

that I've built up
until this point

help me get another day.

It is in all
of our best interests

to build trust

because it has been broken,
for whatever reason.

I think Chris
is playing for Chris,

and I think it would
be foolish of me

to believe that Chris has
my best interests at heart.

My skill is that I can see
a couple steps ahead

and see where the problems are

and I try to resolve them
before they happen.

So I think you got to

trust the words that are
coming out of my mouth.

* *

TJ: All right, everyone,
welcome to your next challenge

on this season of The Challenge:
USA. How you feeling?

(whooping, cheering)

TJ:
All right, let's get to it.

Today's challenge
is called Speed Jumps.

It's gonna be played
in two stages.

In the first stage,
everyone's going to get

their own little
mini trampoline,

and the height has been
adjusted for each of you.

When I say go,
you will start jumping

on that trampoline
to look over the wall.

On the other side of that wall
is a giant board

with numbers on it.
Every number that you see,

you're gonna have to add up,
write that number

on your chalkboard, race it over
to me, and if it's correct,

you're good.
The top three men

and the top three women
to get this done the fastest

will move on to stage two.

More on that later.
And trust me,

you want to be
a part of that one.

Everybody got it?

-Got it.
-Yup.
-Let's do it.

(clapping)

MICHAELA:
I am very excited for the chance

of getting what we call on
Survivor "individual immunity."

And I want to go for people
that could be collateral damage.

Hopefully today's my day.

* *

TJ:
Ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

* *

ALYSSA S.:
The numbers are

a little more scrambled up than
I thought they would be.

I was anticipating they would
be in a straight line,

I'd be able to
add them up quick,

but I'm confused,
I'm stressed out.

I really, really
want to win this one,

and the first step
is winning heat one.

Correct. Not correct.

Not correct.

I did it in one pop, baby.

You know,
I'm pretty good at math

and jumping on trampolines.

I had one as a kid,

and I'm really motivated
to win this second round

and keep Tori and I safe.

-81?
-TJ: Not correct.

No.

Not correct.

No. Everybody's no.

No.

It's a little bit
embarrassing for us.

I'm struggling
on this challenge.

I feel like I've
counted the same number

at least three times now.

TJ:
Incorrect.

No, that is not it.

No?

TJ:
Correct.

No.

That's correct.

That's correct.

-That is correct.
-Yes.

TJ:
All the men are done!

CHRIS: Three guys finished.

I get eliminated. It's a bummer,

but we've got Josh,
Fessy, and Sebastian.

Those are three of my top four.

I could not be
in a better position.

We have room for
one more female!

We got one more female!
Let's go!

That's correct.

-Good job!
-(cheering)

-Good job, Michele! Let's go!
-(air horn blows)

-(cheering, whooping)
-TJ: Good job, guys.

CASSIDY:
I'm pissed that I don't get
to do the second round.

But the top three women
who are going to potentially win

this challenge are Chanelle,
Michele and Tori.

I'm close with
Chanelle and Michele.

We are Survivor players,

and then
Tori's protected me before.

We're roommates,
we've formed a friendship,

and so I'm feeling decent
about my odds.

TJ:
Well done to the six of you.

You just moved yourselves
into stage two.

Yeah, baby, let's fucking go!

This is where
the fun begins, all right?

(whooping)

Coming in hot.

Wow.

Damn.

Oh, geez.

BANANAS:
This looks like

this is gonna be
absolutely insane.

The thought of being
able to jump on a trampoline,

pulled behind a semitruck,

it's kind of making me upset

that I didn't make it
past the first round.

TJ:
To begin, you're going to

start on top of that trampoline,

on top of that big rig.

That thing's gonna start
flying down the runway,

and overhead there'll be
three different color flags.

Jump up and grab these flags.

There's green, yellow and red,

scoring one, two, three.

You can't take the whole
entire rope with you.

You got to take
one flag at a time.

The top man and the top woman

who score the most points
will win today's challenge,

be safe from elimination,
and also

be selecting two people

to send into the Arena
to put at risk

of elimination.
Got it?

-Yup, got it.
-Yeah.

All right. Good luck, everyone.

Let's get it.

* *

All right,
Sebastian, you ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

Fuck.

Fuck.

Everything out here
is harder than you think.

I'm understanding
the pattern here.

I have to jump
at a certain time,

but it's hard to
grab that set of flags.

Oh, I think he got one.

Sebastian slams into
the trampoline so hard,

but he literally
just bounces right back up.

He is crushing it.

Whoo!

-Whoo, Sebas!
-He got five plus three plus...

-What's that, nine?
-Nine.

That felt good.

TJ:
All right, Tori, here we go.

(air horn blows)

(groans) Okay.

Nice!

Definitely timing.

(groans)

(groans)

ALYSSA S.:
That looked like it hurt.

SEBASTIAN:
She just hit hard, dude.

All you can see

is just her in pain.

I'm like, do I run up there
and go help her?

* *

(groans)

ALYSSA S.:
That looked like it hurt.

(groans)

* *

Get it, Tori!

DESI:
Tori, like, she's shooken.

It looks like she's
struggling to breathe.

And then somehow,

she comes back to life

and she could
potentially have power.

Oh, shit.

She was hitting herself hard.

Ouch.

-All right, Josh, you ready? Go!
-(air horn blows)

Aw!

Damn it.

Aw! Fuck.

-Oh, he got the whole thing.
-(others groaning)

TJ:
No, he ripped
the whole thing down.

Damn it.

(shouts)

-Michele, you ready? Go!
-(air horn blows)

Oh, shit.

I look like an idiot.

Fucking idiot.

* *

Oh, God, I suck.

How did I end up here?

I'm not going to
trampoline parks

and, like, practicing
snatching flags

from the roof.

Okay, well, at least I got one.

-(cheering)
-There you go.

Okay.

All right, Chanelle, here we go.

CHANELLE: I think that
round two is mine.

Like, I played
basketball all my life.

I was a beautiful rebounder.

My strategy
is to get high enough

and get enough air
because I'm gonna

go for a yellow or red

and maximize the amount
of points that I would get.

(air horn blows)

* *

Okay.

Shit. Fuck.

(groaning)

(grunts) Fuck.

How did you fucking miss that?

DESI: I had really
high hopes for Chanelle

and then she's, like,

kind of doing worse
than Michele.

(groaning)

-She got one.
-Okay.

MICHELE: I came in second place.

I came in second place.

* *

SEBASTIAN: I'm the highest
score right now,

sitting pretty with nine.

This is mine to take.

Just a little bit nervous
at this point

because we still have one dude
left in the competition

and Fessy's in the middle.

I don't know what he would do

at nominations.

He could still
go after Survivor.

We are literally
half of the numbers here.

-All right, Faysal.
-(air horn blows)

It pays to go last because you
get to see everybody's mistakes.

Sebastian and Josh were jumping

up and down way before
they got to their flags.

You don't have to jump up
to down to get enough height.

You could just wait

and then just give
one good bounce.

JOSH:
Smart. Smart, dude. Wow.

-(air horn blows)
-(cheering)

SEBASTIAN:
Impressive job, dude, well done

but incredibly deflating

because I wanted
that one so bad.

That's how it's done, boy.

All right, great challenge
today, everyone.

-(applause)
-Faysal. Tori.

Well done.

WES:
Tori just smoked this.

This is Tori's second
individual win in a row.

What Tori is doing
is very impressive.

TYLER: I know I am at the bottom
of Tori's totem pole right now,

but I'm closer towards
the top of Fess'.

Faysal and I competed
on Big Brother together,

so if he can put in
some work for me

and actually have a voice here,

I feel like I might be able to

not be nominated for once.

TJ:
You're not only
safe from elimination,

but I need you
to go back to the house

and nominate two players

to send into the Arena

and put at risk of elimination.

-Got it?
-Got it.

All right, out of here.
See you.

FAYSAL:
Now I got to say
somebody's name.

Tori said
Alyssa and Tyler last week,

so she's probably gonna
want to say that again.

But for me,
it doesn't make sense

to go after
Big Brother numbers.

I come from Big Brother.
It just makes sense

to get a Survivor number
out of the game.

* *

-Yay.
-(cheering)

Another one, Tori.

Good job, you two.

The two people

who are in
the position of power right now,

Tori and Fessy, we're all
pushing in the same direction,

so I know there's

a zero percent chance that
I'm gonna be the main vote.

FAYSAL:
It sucks that
I'm in this position, dude,

with Tori,

'cause if it was
my decision, solely,

I would say Wes, Bananas.

They play friendly
with everybody and play beta

just to get to the end,
then they win

and go run their mouth
all over the fucking world

how great they are,
and then we still

let them slide
every fucking season, dude.

But it just sucks 'cause
Tori's not gonna go for that.

-So it's like...
-CHRIS: My spidey senses are
going off a little bit.

But, Fess-- he's my roommate

and he's in
my top four alliance.

I hope that

I'm not the main vote.

She's not gonna
want to go vets right now.

She's not gonna go Sebastian.

Like I said, if it wasn't Tori,

it'd be a whole
different game.

Basically, I'm gonna
go into deliberation,

I'm going to tell her,
"Look, I know Challenge vets

"are off the table, I know
Seb's off the table for you.

That's cool, but you have to
give me some wiggle room, too,"

and that's what
I'm gonna use as my leverage.

(line rings)

CHRIS: Hey.

Happy anniversary.

KATE:
Happy anniversary.

CHRIS:
Hey, baby girl. Hi, Margot.

(laughs) Hey.

My wife Kate and I
have been talking for years

about buying land,
building a house

from scratch and making it

not just a house but a home.

That is such
a driving force for me.

I am starting to get

maybe a little concerned
about my position.

A lot of people think
that I don't know

how to play a strategic game.

When I was on Survivor,
I got voted out third,

but I was able to
get back into the game

and I won.

It's been hard for me

the last few days.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry. I'm with you.

Just remember that.

I never forget it.

* *

TORI:
Welcome to my house.

(chuckles)

You live here, yeah.

(sighs) What is that,
six out of nine for you?

-Yeah.
-Pretty impressive.

I don't know
if it's that impressive.

Just kidding. Just kidding.

My best nomination idea

would be Alyssa S. and Tyler.

I don't want to nominate Desi,
Michaela or Chanelle

because I can't
go back on my word.

And then Michele and I
have a history together.

This isn't our first time
playing the game.

I also room with Cassidy,

so I'm trying to
avoid this situation

where you vote your roommate in

and then have to
sleep next to them.

So, what do you want to do?

Because I know
you're cool with Tyler.

Yeah, so for me, I think

the best thing for us right now

is to get a Survivor number
out the game.

I'm trying to convince Tori
to put in two Survivors

because none of them

have gone home and they're
obviously working together,

and we have to eliminate
one of those numbers

and regain the power
in this house.

TORI:
For Survivor boys,

I don't want to
say Sebastian's name.

Like, are you
okay with saying Chris?

It puts me in a tough spot.

I room with Chris,

but we're in this together.

Yeah.

So, I mean,
if that's where it leaves us,

I'll bite the bullet,
just don't say

Alyssa S. for the girl.

Desi, Michaela, and Chanelle
have, in my opinion,

-the best odds
of winning a daily.
-That's true.

That leaves us
with only Cassidy, right?

There's really not much
I can do at this point.

At the end of the day,

there's not a lot of people
left in the game.

No matter who we nominate,

we are going to
create new enemies.

Let the shit show begin.

I'm sprinting
away from this, dude.

* *

-And ready? Go hide.
-TORI: Run!

-What?
-You're safe. You're safe.

JOSH:
Oh.

-MICHAELA: You're safe.
-JOSH: Shit.

DESI: Cassidy and Chris--
they are exactly

the two people who I would
love to put up if I could.

I don't trust Chris.

He's been playing the middle
this entire game.

And Cassidy,
if given the opportunity,

she's gonna take a big shot
at a big, strong girl.

-TORI: So, this is
what happened.
-CASSIDY: It's me.

TORI:
Yeah. Hear me out, though.

My fear is Desi,
Michaela and Chanelle,

that if they win,
they'll throw me in,

and if I vote one of them in,
I'm pissing all of them off.

Cassidy's made some really
bold moves in this game.

She's not really working
with Bananas or Tori or Fessy.

And so, if you're not working
with any of those people

and those people win,

you got to see that
it's probably coming for you.

TORI:
I just...

It's whatever.

FAYSAL:
Sorry, Chris.

I didn't want to, but...
it's a game.

If you didn't want to,
you could have just not done it.

I know. The only
other option was Tyler,

and there's only
two Big Brother players.

And, you know,
Survivor's got seven.

I come from
the same season as him.

I didn't want to say his name.

Tori wasn't gonna say Sebas.

Fessy nominating me
feels so personal.

He did promise that
he wasn't gonna vote for me

and I would not vote for him,

so now I have zero regard

for anything that
he's told me up to this point.

* *

-* *
-(indistinct chatter)

TORI:
You competed so well.

-Aw, you think so?
-Yeah, so well.

You competed really well.
I was like, "Damn,

-I just want
to win that shit.
-he was good out there."

I need to focus on what I came
here to do, and that's win.

I think it's time
to completely play the game.

It is final time.
We need to start thinking about

who we want
to run that final with.

Shit.

You guys are fucking
killing this shit.

Cory's at like, 240.

He's the biggest dog
in the house.

Why not think big?

All these vets are still here

and they're gonna take us out

one by one,
so let's use the power

and momentum that we have.

Cory's not done much.

He's kind of floating.

Mm.

(groans) Big yikes.

Like, Cory is a vet.
He's somebody that

I'm gonna have his back,

and Sebastian, you cannot

be running your mouth like this.

It's gonna spread
like wildfire in this game.

-I have a plan.
-What's your plan?

SEBASTIAN:
What do you guys think about

trying to get
a big boy out of here?

Aka Cory.

If Sebastian
has my back in this one,

why not make it a guy's day
and vote for Cory?

Well, everybody doesn't
have to vote the exact same way.

I really want to vote for Cory,

but the girls
weren't ready for that.

It's kind of frustrating for me.

You know,
it would be a good option

to save myself,

but also, let's turn the tide.

Let's get everybody
rolling with Survivor.

MICHAELA:
Chris is doing
whatever he can do

to not go into elimination.

Essentially, Chris is saying

the best shot for every single
Survivor in the game

is for you
to go into elimination.

Like, what the fuck
is he doing?

So that he stays safe.

Between me and Cassidy,

like, winning challenges
or winning dailies,

me staying in the game
at least gives us time

-for me to have
another at bat...
-Yeah.

...with another challenge,
to knock off their numbers.

Fuck him for
underestimating me like that.

And he was, like...

But I literally just had
a conversation with Cory,

and he was telling Cory
he needed to vote

for either Chanelle or you.

He's been throwing you
Survivor girls

under the bus, hasn't he?

"Survivor girls."
Who is that, though?

Mm-hmm.

Do you know who you're
voting for tonight?

Michele.

Her getting out of the game

actually gives Survivor
more leverage

because she's doing
such a good job playing us both.

CASSIDY: It truly shows
someone's character

when their back
is against the wall,

when they're drowning,
and they pull

other people down with them,

even if it's
their closest allies.

For him to go so hard against me

shows he will literally
do anything to anyone.

How could any of us
trust him in the game?

MICHAELA: I told Chris,

"Whatever you think
you're doing, stop."

Did he listen? No.

These are the consequences
of your actions.

Don't mess with Survivor.

If you're not with us,
you're against us.

Yeah.

CHANELLE:
I don't know if you guys

have heard anything,
but just know that

there's someone very desperate
trying to save himself.

-WES: He's working
overtime right now.
-CHANELLE: Yeah.

I'm like, I have not even
caught up with everyone.

CORY: Yeah.

It's starting to get ugly.

Every rumor starts with Chris.

Chris is behind about eight
different rumors. Listen, Chris,

you just got to relax
a little bit.

When you try to do too much,
it can bite you in the end.

He telling me one thing,
he telling him one thing.

Chris is just

on one right now.

Obviously, his ass
is on the line, but, dude,

where are you going with this?

-Oh, he did?
-Yeah.

He is literally
throwing everyone--

as many people under the bus
as he can.

Option one
is the obvious one: Alyssa.

Option number two
is someone like Michele.

CASSIDY: He's in
self-preservation mode.

MICHELE:
I don't love that for me.

You don't pitch my name
in a game full of my friends,

and enemies and expect
to get away with it.

CORY:
Word travels quick
in this house.

I was being told, "Sebastian
is going around saying that...

-Yeah.
-"he wants to
vote in you, Cory."

I don't know how many
people he told that to.

I can't believe
Sebastian is pitching that.

This is sloppy gameplay.

I need to clock back in,

make sure I protect myself.

When I hear that
someone's coming for me,

I'm gonna ask them about it.

SEBASTIAN:
You know who's doing that

is your boy, Chris.

I am using Chris as
a little bit of a shield

because he's acting a fool.

He's telling

-Michaela and Cassidy...
-Mm-hmm?

that he wants
it to be a girls' day.

-Right.
-Then he's telling me

he wants it to be a guy's day

to diminish y'all's numbers

and that he ain't scared
to take you on.

CORY:
I don't know what to believe,

but I think you're lying.
He's gonna say and do

whatever he can to make sure
he protects himself.

SEBASTIAN:
Look, nobody wants to go in,

but I'm actually kind of mad

at Chris 'cause he's telling
everybody something else--

including me-- and he's like,
my number one guy in here.

CORY:
It's a whole bunch
of "she said, he said"

bullshit going around right now.

Sebastian said,
"Chris told me to say

that they should throw Cory in."

CHRIS:
Dude, why would I
want to go against you?

Some people on your own side

have it out for you,
I feel like.

-They do, bro.
-People are planting these seeds

and they're seeing
which one's gonna grow.

I know. It's insane.

Not only is Sebastian
not voting with me,

he's pushing Cory's
name out there. I'm livid.

I'm frustrated

because I feel like

Cory can beat me.

-(knocking)
-(door opens)

Hey, guys.

JOSH:
Hey.

Come in. Come on in, man.

JOSH:
What are you thinking, Chris?

CHRIS:
Writing's on the wall.

You want to
lower Survivor numbers,

just vote for a girl,

because I don't want
to go in tonight.

(door opens)

-JOSH: Hey.
-MICHELE: Hi.

What's up?

I wanted to
talk to you, actually.

They're saying
that you're pitching me.

I'm not pitching you.

I said there's-there's
options on the table.

-MICHELE: Okay.
-And that I don't want it

-to be a guy's day.
-WES: Okay, so...

you want us to vote girl?

She's on the table.

BANANAS:
I'm watching Chris
light himself on fire.

Chris has found himself

in a position I don't
think he expected to be in.

And what he doesn't realize is

he is in this position
by his own doing.

This guy's ship is gonna sink
very soon.

Literally everyone's throwing me

-under the bus right now.
-Okay.

Sebastian is telling people

that I have been
pitching for Cory.

That was my only
other number one guy,

and I have no one to trust.

I feel for you,

but you really dug yourself
in a hole, dude.

Every single person
has compared notes,

and you have
lied on a lot of people.

WES: Chris is broken,
and it's because

he bet on the wrong people.

I think Chris
is a formidable threat

in every area except for
the social game, and he's

figuring it out
the slow, hard way,

and it's almost sad to watch.

CHRIS:
I don't have anything to hide.

I'm not lying.
I hope you guys know that.

CHRIS: This is definitely

exactly how it felt

when I was on
the Edge of Extinction

and I'm by myself,
and I'm sitting on an island

and no one is going to

come rescue me.

It's only going to be me.

You definitely
put me in a pickle.

I know. I'm sorry, bro.

Right now, Chris is feeling like

he's on the bottom
and he's all alone.

Sorry I had to say your name,

but your game is not over.

You're very capable,

you won Survivor.

You'll be all right, man.

CHRIS:
I don't give up,

but it's just hard, dude.

I do a pretty good job
of bottling things up

because I have a lot
of people who depend on me.

It's what's required
in this game.

It's what's required in my life.

I just...
I have to hold it together.

MICHELE:
I think he realizes

he just dug his grave
and now it's like,

it's just messy.

MICHAELA:
I mean, it's blood in the water

and we're in a house
full of sharks.

Secretly, I'm quite pleased

watching Chris' whole game
fall apart.

It's just something about

how he moves that's been
sketchy and suspicious

this entire time.

And now Cassidy,
Fessy, Alyssa S.,

Tyler, Sebastian,
Chanelle, Desi and Michele--

everybody's on the same page

about who Chris is

and how he moves in this game,

and, once again, I'm right.

(alarm blaring)

Oh.

It's about that time.

Time to vote.

(sighs) We meet again.

Survivor is so strong.
They have all of their

players still in the game,

so if we can all get on the same
page and throw in Sebastian,

the guys lose a number and
Survivor also loses a number.

Not a lot of balls
up here these days.

MICHELE:
I obviously can't

say a Survivor.

I'm also not ready
to say a vet yet.

My goal today
is to pick somebody

who can send Chris home.

This is gonna be easy.

Got to pay the price.

My vote's for Sebastian.

CHRIS:
This is a really, really

tough one for me, but, Cassidy,

I'm gonna give you
the best shot I can.

Alyssa S.

This one's obvious to me.

Even though I really did
want to vote for Cory,

I want to vote with my
strongest allies in this game.

You got to use your numbers.

* *

CHRIS:
My head is spinning.

I don't know whose name's
going to get

spit out of the Hopper.

All that I have to do

is get locked in

and prepare to fight.

TJ:
All right, everyone.

Welcome back to the Arena.

Hey.

Tori, Faysal, solid effort.

You two, being safe,
had to select two players

to send into the Arena
and put at risk

of elimination, and you chose

Chris and Cassidy.
Come on out.

(whooping, applause)

By nominating Cassidy,

I've definitely
burnt that bridge

and she's not gonna be
too happy with me

if she comes back.

TJ:
Now, the rest of you, in secret,

placed names into a Hopper.

Let's see how
those votes worked out.

Sebastian.

-Damn
-Six votes.

WES: I voted for Sebastian

because I want to ensure

that Survivor
will lose a number.

We, as Challengers,
know how to play dominoes.

Once one goes down,

(clicking tongue)

Tyler.

-Five votes.
-What?

Alyssa.

One vote.

And Bananas.

One vote.

As we've seen in the past,

it only takes one vote.

So, let's see what
the Hopper has to say.

* *

FAYSAL:
Survivor is still seven strong.

We got to start taking out

some of these Survivor numbers.

So I'm just hoping that TJ

pulls Sebastian's name
out of this Hopper.

TJ:
Well, I told you
you only needed one vote

to come down here.

Tonight, Sebastian,
you're playing.

You got this.

Cassidy, you're off the hook.

CASSIDY:
It is definitely a relief

to know now that
I'm going to survive

another night in The Challenge.

I definitely
feel burned by Tori.

Don't want to
look her in the eyes.

I don't want to even talk
to her, but if I have to

deal with a little bit
of awkward roommating

to get to the end,
then, you know,

that's a small price to pay.

TJ:
Sebastian, Chris,

tonight you are playing

Trick, Trick, Boom.

-(shouting)
-BANANAS: Whoa!

MICHAELA:
TJ got the budget!

JOSH:
Okay, flames?

To begin, you and your opponent
are gonna start

on your giant towers
filled with balls.

Then, when I say go,

you will race down
your ladder

and gather the three barrels

with the flat panels
on top of them.

Line them up perfectly

with your corresponding
colored barrel.

Then you're gonna
race back up there

and start throwing balls

to make the perfect trick shot.

Bounce it off all three

of those panels
into the color barrel.

Once you make
that color barrel shot,

you will attempt to
make a second trick shot

by adding the two barrels
with the sideways panels.

First one to hit all five panels

and sink it
into the black barrel

will win tonight's
elimination round.

-Got it?
-Got it.

-Good luck, guys.
-(cheering)

I think I'm pretty damn
confident right now.

It's basically like a TikTok
challenge, a trick shot.

Just get that angle right,
get that bounce perfect,

and I know I'm coming right
back in that house tonight,

having a glass of wine
with Tori,

give her a kiss on the lips,
and celebrate the victory.

Sorry, Chris, but you got
a wife and kids back home.

You got to go home, buddy.

CHRIS:
The Hopper chooses Sebastian.

Feel like it's
a little bit of karma.

Best of luck, Sebastian.

All right, fellas, you ready?

-Go!
-(air horn blows)

(indistinct chatter)

TORI:
Let's go, Sebastian.

DESI:
Don't hurt yourself.

TJ:
There you go. All right. Yeah.

TORI:
Make sure it's leveled.

My heart is in my stomach.

Sebastian is definitely
feeling it.

He looks like
he just came out of

a beer pong tournament
in college,

so I feel like
this is gonna be something

he's good at.

Let's go. Give it a shot.

Give it a shot.

-Oop.
-Almost.

Oh!

MICHAELA: Chris goes into
full scientific

theory methods.

He's putting one platform
in one place,

testing the air quality,

bouncing the ball and seeing

the exact height of its bounce.

TYLER: It took weeks

to get a Survivor player
out of this game,

and tonight, a Survivor player

is finally gonna
leave this game.

This is huge for my game
and Big Brother.

TORI:
Move the first one
closer to the second barrel.

JOSH:
Keep going, Sebas.
keep going.

(all groaning)

Chris, almost with the shot.

(whooping)

TORI:
Don't overthink it.

CHANELLE:
I am nervous for Sebastian

because Chris is really smart

and it just doesn't

look like Sebastian
has a full grasp

to get the perfect shot.

Both made one,
but you got to hit all three.

There it is. There it is, Chris.

Look at this guy.

Good job, Chris.

CASSIDY:
Good job, Chris.

JOSH:
Keep going, dude.

Just stay calm. Just stay calm.

FAYSAL:
Wow, you have to hit all five?

TORI:
There, right there.

-TJ: Good!
-(cheering)

TJ:
Sebastian's in there!

It's anybody's game!

You got this! You got this!
You can do it!

(grunts)

TORI:
You got this, so stay calm.

Come on, you need to hurry.

-(whoops)
-Hurry up.

TJ:
It is anybody's game now.

WES:
At this point in the game,
Chris has nobody.

Everyone has turned against him.

This guy has got

such an uphill battle,

which is why
I want him to come back.

He could be a number for me.

TORI:
You got it, Sebastian.

MICHAELA:
You got it, you got it!

Aw!

CHRIS:
Sebastian and I

are neck and neck.

I'm about to lose my mind.

Oh!

(shouting, laughing)

-Yeah, yeah, yeah!
-Oh, my God!

What do you think, Bananas?
You're experts at this shit.

BANANAS: It's kind of funny
because I almost feel like

people automatically assume that

I'm only good at
stupid stuff just based on

the experience that I have
doing these things.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I likey.

But every season,
I am flabbergasted

at the, uh, new set of

games and competitions
that they come up with.

Dude, I mean...

-Uh-oh. Oh!
-Yes! Yes, yes!

Oh, my God, you're right there,
you're right there,

you're right there.

TJ:
Oh, Sebastian.

Sebastian is all over it.

CHRIS: Sebastian and I,

we are tied up,
and these slant boards--

these things are difficult.

MICHAELA:
Very last one.
Forward, forward, move forward.

What if I moved this
one here and did this?

BANANAS:
You got to move, Sebastian.

MICHAELA:
What you doing? What you doing?

JOSH:
I feel really bad for Chris

because he's not getting

the support that he deserves,

but he burned
way too many bridges.

I don't think anybody

even trusts him

moving forward in this game.

What if I move these here?

-No, don't move that!
-Where you had it.

TORI:
Try it. Just try it. Try it.

(others groan)

Dang, Chris, all over it.

TORI:
Take your time.

Like, it's gonna take time.

JOSH:
Greater trajectory, dude.

ALL: Oh!

-(air horn blows)
-TJ: Oh, my God!

Chris!

That was so sick!

FASYSAL:
Wow.

TJ:
Wow.

-FAYSAL: Nice job, dude.
-TJ: Wow.

CHRIS:
Glad I'm still here.

Happy I was able
to pull out the win,

but there's
not many allies I have

in the house right now,
so I'm gonna have to try to,

you know, be adaptable,
pick up the pieces

and move on from here.

-Okay, okay.
-MICHAELA: I know.

Come on, give us a hug, Sebas.

TORI:
You should be proud of yourself.

(groans)

Man.

I didn't see that.

I really thought
I was gonna win that one.

It sucks to take those losses.

I felt like I played
a really good game,

but at the end of the day,
I was part of

the Survivor alliance
and that was

too much for those people
to handle.

Go win that shit, Tori.

I love you, girl.
And, uh, yeah, power to you.

Wish I was there with you.

Well, that was
an awesome elimination.

Unfortunately,
someone had to lose.

And Sebastian,

tonight just wasn't your night.

This ends your time here
on The Challenge: USA,

but I really hope
we see you in the future, man.

You're awesome.
Take care of yourself.

-MICHAELA: We love you, Sebas.
-JOSH: We love you.

Chris, congratulations, man.
You got it done.

Go ahead and rejoin the group.

(indistinct chatter)

CHANELLE:
Chris is almost like
a dead man walking.

He has to come back
into the house

and rebuild relationships
and repair the pieces.

I think Chris is gonna have to
fight for his life

every single round in
this game moving forward.

This is it, all right?

We are in the final stretch.

Stay focused and just know

that final is
right around the corner.

I'll see you soon.
Get out of here.

Yeah, yeah!

CHRIS: It's a bittersweet win.

It's cool I'm safe,
I'm still here, but

I'm back into this house,

the house of lies,

and I've got to navigate it

the best way that I can.

TJ:
Next on The Challenge: USA.

As one romance is heating up...

One more kiss goodnight.

...the Challengers will have to
face their fears.

FAYSAL:
If I'm scared and nervous,

everybody else
is scared and nervous.

...or risk elimination.

-(cries)
-(gags)

TJ:
When push comes to shove...

The best-case scenario

to go down there
is Johnny and Wes.

...will they turn on their
closest allies?

I don't know
what the fuck to do.

I know that I'm crossing
somebody that

I have a really good
friendship with.
