Previously on The Challenge Australia...

Alright, we've had enough of that. [LAUGHS]

WOMAN: Yeah!

The Bachie crew's sticking together.

So we gotta help each other out on this one.

If I go into a challenge with a partner

that isn't communicating with me and that puts me in the bottom,

I'm going to be livid.

GRANT: We've got myself, Ryan, Johnny, Jess.

Me and Jess are pretty tight,

but she could be under a lot of pressure.

BRIHONY: Today we're playing Bowlers for Blood.

[CONTESTANTS SCREAM]

WOMAN: Yeah!

Conor and Cyrell are the winners of today's challenge!

David and Jessica heading directly into elimination.

I'm gonna do exactly what they did to us,

friends versus friends.

If Jessica goes, I'm happy. If Grant goes, I'm happy.

Conor, Cyrell, have you decided

who you are gonna send into the elimination?

We've decided on Grant and Kiki.

I hope she's taken a good shot 'cause I'm coming.

[AIR HORN TOOTS] Whoo!

Kiki doing three at a time there.

Come on, Kiki! Get it up, get it up!

The winners - Grant and Kiki!

Love you so much.

David, Jessica, your time on The Challenge is over.

'Bye, David!

Love you!

Let's see what The Algorithm has in store this week.

Johnny and Cyrell.

CYRELL: I highly doubt Grant's gonna be able to come for me

without coming for his mate also.

Thank you, Algorithm! You're my best friend.

Buenas noches, amigos!

CONTESTANTS: Let's go!

MAN: Let's go! Come on!

WOMAN: Pull it up! Pull it up!

[MAN GROANS] [CONTESTANTS CHEER]

MAN: Go!

BRIHONY: It is anyone's game!

WOMAN: Keep going!

[WOMAN SHRIEKS]

MAN: I got it! I got it! I got it!

[CONTESTANTS CHANT]

Remember why you're here!

Oh, unbelievable!

[AIR HORN BLARES]

[THEME MUSIC]

[LAUGHS]

[CONTESTANT CHEERS]

Oh, we're home!

CYRELL: Ahh!

How did he know?

[MARLEY LAUGHS]

What a rude one. Oh, I'm gonna miss him.

He still has the last word. Yeah, always.

Emily! Yo!

Did you see what David left me on my bed?

When did he do this? How come you didn't get one?

Oh, I did get one! Oh, you did!

I got one too!

Oh! Oh, what a mess.

Why is it always our friends? [LAUGHS]

I've seen so many friends leave.

I've seen Jack go and now I've seen David go.

I have a few friends still left in this game,

but the numbers are getting smaller

and I'm holding tightly to Cyrell.

Yeah, yeah.

There's always someone after me.

I'm kind of partnered up with his good mate right now, so...

Yeah, I think you're OK.

Cyrell, she come up to me and said,

"In the game, I want to take you out."

It's just wrong, man. You know what I'm saying?

JOHNNY: My new partner is Cyclone Cyrell

and when someone wins an elimination,

looks up at the stage and fires a shot at someone,

I think it's fair to say they're out for blood.

Hopefully I don't come winning this

because I'll be coming straight for ya.

I welcome it.

But she might be safe for another elimination

seeing as I don't think Grant will vote me in.

I hope so, anyway.

It is what it is, bro.

And you know what, man?

I had a partner for five years and that ended

and I was, like, really invested in that.

Konrad and I, we've both been through recent break-ups.

So we're both, like, coming into

this situation a little heartbroken.

I made a pact with myself that I would not hook up,

but it's nice to have a distraction.

There's a mutual understanding of where we are both emotionally,

so it's a friendship and it's got some benefits.

Good on him. Look at that.

We're competing and we need to kind of stop

the little flirts and whatnot

and start mapping out our game play for the next challenge

because we are part of the Bachie alliance.

We've got bigger fish to fry,

like we need $200,000.

This is so... This is actually kind of weird.

Go for it, guys. Distract yourselves. Forget about the game.

We'll just be here plotting behind your backs

while you're hooking up in the hot tub.

So now we can just never use the spa again.

Yeah, no, look, unless you want to get pregnant to Konrad...

[LAUGHTER]

[POOL BALLS CLACK] RYAN: Oh-ho-ho!

Why do I have so many balls? 'Cause you haven't sunk any.

[LAUGHS]

The bond from me and Emily came from the first challenge.

Good [BLEEP] job. You nailed that.

What you see is what you get with Em

and I definitely trust her 150% in this game.

[LAUGHS]

I feel like I'm in a really good relationship

with Ryan, Grant and Johnny.

They are people that I know

won't turn their back on me.

Ohh!

Oh!

I have a very strong pairing this week.

Troy can basically do anything.

He's kind of like Superman in this house.

He could almost fly.

But I do have my eye on Konrad and Sugar

because they are also a really strong pair.

Shit. We are crap.

TROY: So how are you feeling about this week?

Like, I'm coming in to win, but if we don't,

we might be in a pretty good position.

Alliance-wise, we have got the three boys upstairs,

Ryan, Johnny and Grant.

Then we've got the whole 'Bachelor' crew.

Then we've got myself, my man T-Roy

and we're kind of sitting pretty between both sides of the house.

Hopefully, these guys take themselves out

and I can skate on through to this final.

Let's let them go to war

and if they go to war for another week whilst we cruise.

I feel fearless. Yes, I'm a target for so many reasons.

But I'm still here. Yeah.

I've been a target since day one. Yep.

And I haven't gone and I don't plan on going.

People were targeting me before the win.

So after the win, I don't feel any safer.

The bullseye is large. Like, it's on my forehead.

Like, I can't moisturise it off.

But if I've learnt anything in this game,

it's no matter how many times they come for me,

I bounce back.

We have a target on our back this week.

We do. People are gonna want to put us up for elimination.

I'm, like, really determined to make it to the final.

Even though he's just won a challenge,

everyone in the house sees Conor as the weakest link.

I don't think people are particularly threatened by me either.

So I'm just hoping that we can win this one.

There's, like, no other way for me. Yeah.

Like, we have a lot to prove here. Yeah.

Let's pray before this one. Oh, my God. OK.

Really? Yeah.

Madonna, Cher and Whitney Houston,

may you give us all the queer energy that we need for tomorrow

and Megan gets deep coordination

to fulfil her destiny as the greatest...

Reigning champion.

..reigning champion of The Challenge Australia - season one.

Amen, Mariah. Amen.

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

# Whoo!

# I saw you standing

# I'm in a hurry

# I'mma pass, pass, pass... #

Right now, there are two key alliances in this house.

The bedroom group, which is Johnny, Ryan and Grant,

and they're kind of aligned to Sugar and Emily.

Then we've got the Bachie group

who have been strong from the very start.

I feel like there's too many of them to even name,

but we need to get them out.

# Uh-huh, yes

# A real stunner

# I can't keep up and I was built to last... #

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to your next challenge!

[CONTESTANTS CHEER]

Today's challenge is all about strength,

it's about endurance

and it's also about wine.

WOMAN: Yeah! [ALL CHEER]

Wine barrels, that is, guys.

CONTESTANTS: Aww. Sorry to disappoint.

Today we are playing Build Me Up.

At the end of the course,

there are four empty wine barrels for each team

that weigh 45 kilos each.

When I sound the horn, you and your partner

are gonna race to your barrels

and haul them one by one to the first station.

Then you're gonna climb on top of your barrels

so you can hit the flare on the first station.

You then climb back down, haul all four barrels to the next station

and do that again on the third station

until you haul all four of your barrels across the finish line.

The fastest pair to haul all four across the line

are the winners of today's challenge.

The team to do it in the slowest time

will be the losers of the challenge

and will go directly into elimination.

Best of luck. I'll see you on the other side.

SUGAR: There was gossip, you know,

the commotion in the hot tub between Konrad and Megan.

But I need to stay focused in this game

and if he's not, Konrad's gonna get a one, two, uppercut.

I'm absolutely pumped to be with Cyrell.

We might not be the fastest,

we might not be the tallest, we're not...

Yeah, there's not much going... But we've got the biggest heart.

[LAUGHS] That's right.

Don't put us down that much, man!

Alright, chookas, everyone. Let's do this!

[AIR HORN BLARES]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Johnny doing really, really well here.

RYAN: The one that I'm seeing sprinting along

surprised me like no tomorrow.

It's Johnny. I didn't know Johnny could run like that.

I don't think Johnny knew he could run like that.

It looks like he's stolen something.

Marley, tip them over. Tip them over for her.

Yeah? Ready to go. Ready to go.

RYAN: Let's get it, Brooky.

I think people thought this was gonna be a lot easier than it was.

As soon as we picked this thing up, I was like, "Oh, my God."

This barrel is bloody heavy and there's nothing even in it.

Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, let's go, let's go!

I think people have figured out you can only play a safe game

in this game for so long, but this is The Challenge.

[MAN GRUNTS] Let's go. Come on.

MAN: Ready? Let's go.

Feeling alright? Yep.

GRANT: Good girl, Brittany. Good girl.

BROOKE B: These barrels weigh basically my body weight

and I feel like everyone has their doubts about me

and where I fit into this game.

Let's go. RYAN: Let's go, Brooky.

But I have no doubts about myself.

I know that I can win a challenge. I just need to really dig deep.

OK, to my side.

BRIHONY: Marley and Brooke J,

first ones with their barrel at the first station.

I'll tip it for you. Yep.

BRIHONY: Slow and steady wins the race.

We got this.

Three, two, one. Go.

This entire time, I've had to scrape through every elimination.

I need to win 'cause if I don't win,

I am probably going into the arena.

Let's go.

With this challenge, you definitely needed to be strong,

you've gotta have endurance, you've gotta have speed.

I have a brain full of gossip,

a mouth full of words and a cute butt.

That's about it that's going for me.

BRIHONY: Alright, everyone moving through pretty evenly at the moment.

Wanna get up?

Quick hip and shoulder for Troy and Emily.

JOHNNY: Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go to the other side. Other side. Let's go.

Ready? And go.

A few teams are struggling behind. Cyrell really struggling to keep up.

That 45-kilo wine barrel there.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Johnny using all the muscles.

He says, "You head back, babe. I got this one."

Cyrell's got a lot of heart,

but she's also got little legs.

So I'm hoping that her ticker gets us through today.

I'm stoked to be here. I do not plan on going anywhere.

And frankly, at the moment, I'm confident

that I can go right through to the very end.

Troy and Emily

setting off their flares now.

Alright!

Konrad and Sugar getting their first barrel to the second station now.

CIARRAN: Coming into this week, I do believe

that myself and Kiki could possibly be a target.

We are part of the Bachie

alliance and there's two of us

in this pair today, so we need to win this.

Kiki and Ciarran just having a quick slip-up here on the barrel,

but they're quick to recover.

KIKI: My shoulders are killing me from the last elimination

and I pinched a nerve in my back

picking up one of the barrels.

But we're gonna continue to fight.

I really need to win this

because I cannot be in another elimination.

Grant and Brittany doing well too.

Marley, Brooke J doing really well.

Still anyone's game at this point.

[PANTS]

Oh! Sorry. Oh, sorry, Brooky.

You alright? Sorry. Yep.

Her and Marley just trying to get the positioning there at the moment.

They're doing the lift when they get their second barrel there.

MAN: Let's go, let's go. Come on.

We got this. Come on. [WOMAN COUGHS AND RETCHES]

Troy and Emily doing very well here.

I'm definitely a competitive person.

I once built an obstacle course under my house

and the second I did it, I unbuilt it

so all the other boys couldn't get it.

So to this day, I'm the only person to complete that obstacle.

Troy jumping up onto that fourth barrel.

Boom! That is the second station done for them.

They're flipping that barrel over

and they're heading in to the third station.

In second place so far, it's looking like

Konrad and Sugar doing very well.

SUGAR: Good work.

I think Troy is definitely a big player in this game

and Marley plays a great social game.

He's just cruising.

They're definitely my biggest competition.

And we are so close. It feels like seconds behind Troy and Emily.

TROY: Sugar and Konrad are second.

Lots of gas.

Grey and orange are neck and neck.

I think the strong female competitors at the moment

are myself and Sugar.

Sugar and I are aligned

because we know as soon as

one of us is in the bottom

that the other one will probably be used as a shot.

Troy and Emily on their fourth barrel here to the third station.

Once they set off this flare,

they'll be just getting their four barrels

across that finish line to win.

Konrad and sugar close behind them.

They are putting in the hard yards!

KONRAD: Good work, Sug!

Emily and Troy lifting the intensity now.

TROY: Alright.

They've got their second barrel across the line.

Oh, [BLEEP]. Sorry.

Got it. Sorry.

BROOKE J: I am in agony. My back is sore. My shoulders are sore.

My knuckles are all torn up.

But I'm doing my best to just keep going

because I do not want to let Marley down.

EMILY: One more. TROY: Yeah.

Emily and Troy with their third barrel across the line.

It's their final one!

The end is in sight and we're exhausted.

I'm just hoping we can get it done just before Sugar and Konrad.

Konrad and Sugar only five seconds behind!

This is still anybody's game!

Emily and Troy, who are coming up the final straight now

with their last barrel.

SUGAR: I'm not even looking at anybody else, really.

I'm just thinking, "Let's win this challenge."

Let's ease it up.

TROY: Alright, your side. Go! Come on!

BRIHONY: This is still anybody's game!

SUGAR: Let's ease it up.

They're just trying to place that final barrel.

TROY: It's in, it's in. Let go.

Check!

Emily and Troy are the winners of this challenge!

Sugar and Konrad, very close.

MARLEY: Troy and Emily do it again.

This is two wins for these guys.

I'm so happy for my boy Troy. But the job's not done.

Brooke and I have to keep working

and get to the end of this course so that we don't come last.

Up! Let's go! Come on! Wait!

This is still anybody's game to lose.

Pull, pull, pull. Come on! [BLEEP]

My legs hurt. Who cares? Just keep working.

Run.

I just want to finish. I don't want to lose.

I am so ready for this to be completely over.

Ciarran and Kiki across the line.

Brittany and Grant getting their final barrel up on the stack.

Brooke J and Marley, Conor and Megan, Brooke and Ryan

getting their final barrel up.

[GRUNTS]

Cyrell and Johnny...

CYRELL: I want to make it to the finish line

not only for myself, but for my son.

I think if I was only thinking of myself,

I'll be honest, I probably would've given up a long time ago.

But my son and my partner

give me that extra strength I need to never give up.

There better be wine when I get back in the house after this!

[LAUGHTER] If we get it on top.

I want [BLEEP] wine!

I want wine!

MAN: Yeah!

Get that final barrel filled with wine.

And they load it up, Johnny and Cyrell.

Thanks, guys.

[AIR HORN BLARES]

Cyrell, good job.

Good job, mate.

Cyrell going into the elimination, I think it's fantastic,

but Cyrell and Johnny are partnered up

and I don't want to see any of my mates going home.

CYRELL: Thank you.

JOHNNY: Cyrell tried her little heart out

and we'll go to the elimination.

But, Cyrell, excellent effort today.

You never gave up so I'm proud of you, mate.

Well done today, everyone. It was great work.

And especially great work from our winning team, Troy and Emily.

[CONTESTANTS CHEER]

Johnny and Cyrell, as the losers of today's challenge,

you guys will head back to the house

into the deliberation room

to talk to our winners of the challenge today and plead your case,

but, remember, ultimately the winners have all the power

and it's their decision

who you're gonna go up against in the elimination.

MEGAN: Konrad and Sugar were so close behind

and I know if Konrad won,

he wouldn't put me and Conor up.

But Johnny and Cyrell, I know they're going to be asking

for Conor and I to be in the arena with them.

Is there a chance we can save ourselves?

I'm...I'm not sure.

Alright, teams, I'll see you in the arena.

WOMAN: See you in the Tina!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

TROY: Hey! EMILY: Hey!

Good job.

KIKI: Guys, today was tough.

It really tested me, but I'm so glad I finished it.

RYAN: You did well.

I was screaming at Ciarran, going, "I can't do this. I can't do this."

Like, Ciarran was dragging me and I felt my sciatic nerve just twitch.

I'm getting a very strong feeling that Ciarran and I

might be going into elimination this week

because we are very strong competitors.

Troy and Emily may see Ciarran and I as a threat

because we are part of the Bachie alliance.

I am exhausted. Let's hope it's not too physical.

WOMAN: No dancing for you at the club tonight.

Dammit! I was really looking forward to slut-dropping again.

Well, we've both been here.

Yeah.

Fancy seeing you here. Welcome.

We don't like seeing you here. I know.

I don't like seeing 'Losing pair' there.

No.

And I've had to see my name twice there.

But we're gonna be fighting for this.

Bloody oath. Ah!

So what groups are you thinking?

Conor and Megan was our best bet. For self-preservation.

Sort of what you'd consider, I guess,

to be one of the less capable couples.

People. Couples. Mm-hm.

Johnny thinks strength-wise that we've got them.

They're probably the weaker pair, especially having Conor.

Conor's like a mosquito bite.

It's annoying and the more you scratch it,

the bigger it gets, like Conor's big head.

And then the other one is to go for the jugular.

Ciarran and Kiki would be my second bet

and they're a powerful couple.

Wow.

They're always gonna have their little clique,

so, you know, we'll pick one, then.

I want to get Ciarran out of the house just to weaken that alliance

and I'd love nothing more

than to be the one to actually go in there and do it.

Ciarran and Kiki or Conor and Megan.

My biggest threat at the moment is probably Ciarran.

He's got the numbers on his side. He's a physical weapon.

He's somebody that I reckon we're gonna

have to have a shot at at some point.

Frankly, I don't care who I go up against.

The Bachie alliance is so strong at this point

and so I'm feeling really nervous about this decision.

Well, as we've seen, anything goes in the elimination arena.

Absolutely. So...

That's right.

Whatever comes, you guys just can do it.

CYRELL: Yes!

Whoo!

Finally, another night out. We needed this.

KONRAD: Sugar and myself did amazing today.

So we're going to the club. I'm going to have a good time.

MAN: Damn, girl!

I feel confident that I'm not gonna be in the elimination.

So let's get the music going.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]

MAN: Here we are, hey? WOMAN: Go, Troy. Come on.

Party time.

WOMAN 2: Oh, yeah!

MAN 2: This is the best place in the world!

SONG: # Move your body and we'll move, yeah... #

So I obviously brought you guys over here

because Cyrell and Johnny have asked to put you guys in

and we are seriously considering it.

So are you considering any other names?

EMILY: We have other names, but...

We have other names we are gonna consider, but...

It seems, like, a bit...

It feels like you're lying a bit,

as in, you have your minds made up that it's us

and you're trying to seem diplomatic.

That's what it seems to me.

I'll be honest, I think a lot of people do not see us as a threat

and it doesn't seem like good game play for you guys.

Surely you'd want to knock out stronger players.

Ciarran is one of my best friends here in the house

and I was on 'The Bachelor' with Kiki.

We had a great time. I love Kiki.

But I'm obsessed with getting to the final. I will do anything.

If that means a little bit of manipulation...I'm up for it.

You know, I've just got my boy Marley and I've always said that.

I've always been open with that, that's my boy Marley.

And I'm sort of getting, like, pulled between the two alliances.

Well, you do have to make a decision at some point

because, otherwise, I'm telling you, both teams, if they have a choice,

they're gonna be putting you up.

We need to be making decisions about who we want to run in the final.

No, 100%.

[TENSE MUSIC]

RYAN: Tonight, if we lose Johnny, we're completely [BLEEP].

I'm nervous. I was nervous when you were in too.

Yeah, it's gonna be very interesting today, man.

This is a big day.

Look at these two working together.

Yeah, he's just weaselling around, isn't he?

He's just doing his thing, sneaky, sneaky.

"You're really good at this talking, Conor."

"Uh, Grant, I've talked my way out of two eliminations."

I was like, "You bastard."

I don't like lies and he's so shifty, man.

I've talked my way out of two eliminations.

I understand that someone's gotta go in,

but, like, right now, I want to think forward and how far we can go.

The fact that I'm even in the conversation is so upsetting

'cause I'm, like, I've got you and Troy's back so hardcore.

Can she go three for three?

Possibly. [LAUGHS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

From day one, man, I had your back immediately

and I haven't changed that.

Yeah, and you don't want to change it.

And I don't want to change that.

I've got to choose between six teams, yeah?

So obviously you've got Emily will save Ryan.

I'm gonna save Marley. Yeah? Yep.

Emily will save Grant.

So then I'm gonna save... That's the question.

So you're saying it should be you? I think so.

OK, and that's fine and that's reasonable for you to think.

So say I do save you, so who does that leave?

It leaves... Sugar and Konrad.

And Ciarran and Kiki. Ciarran and Kiki.

I also think Ciarran and Kiki, no matter what it is,

have a strong chance of coming back.

They do.

And the thing is all you need to say is, "I want to have Conor's back."

It's like if you keep me,

you're pretty much assured here another two eliminations

'cause I'm gonna be the heat every single time.

He is working hard to try and save his arse.

And I'm happy to be the heat.

I don't mind. I thrive on it, man.

Conor's selling it.

You know, he's really driving some good points home

and I actually do need to make sure

I'm, like, making the right decision for my game.

It's like you don't even realise, the moment I go,

I'm the heat gone.

How are you feeling about it all? Like, where's your head at?

If Conor were to stay in the house... Mm-hm.

..he is an easy target again next week.

I am considering him staying.

Conor is trying to weasel out of another elimination,

which he has done now three weeks in a row.

But it's important to hear Troy out

because we are working as a team

and we just need to make the best decision for both of us

and both of our games.

Ciarran and Kiki, if we throw them in,

I feel like we would have targets on our backs more.

And I know those boys up there will keep us.

Like, there's five of us compared to their what?

Ciarran, Conrad, Conor.

Yeah, three. Three.

I'd rather get rid of more of them than keep more of them here.

We don't want to cause big ripples

in any alliance, you know?

We don't want people coming back for us.

However, it's very important in this game

that if you fire a shot, they go,

so we've got to take that into consideration.

It's tough.

CIARRAN: I think some people are still

trying to play nice in the house,

but, you know, people are still definitely

trying to plan their game.

They want to see who they can get in the finale.

It is what it is.

If you're gonna put me into elimination, though,

you better be good.

Welcome, everyone.

WOMAN: Hello! WOMAN 2: Hello!

How you doin'?

[CONTESTANTS SPEAK INDISTINCTLY]

Yes! Hello.

Welcome back to the arena

and tonight's elimination on The Challenge Australia.

Johnny and Cyrell lost our last challenge

and they got a direct ticket into the arena tonight.

Let's get them out here. Johnny and Cyrell, come on out.

[CONTESTANTS WHISTLE AND CHEER]

How are ya? I'm well.

How are you? Good.

Emily and Troy, congratulations on your win.

Who have you chosen?

It's always tough putting someone in.

It only gets tougher as we go along.

I was hoping it would be easier. It wasn't.

The Algorithm is a naughty boy. I'm not happy with him.

Um, so today we're sending in...

..Conor and Megan.

Alright, Conor and Megan, come on down to the sand.

[APPLAUSE]

Megan is in the Bachie alliance.

Conor, I have no idea which alliance he's in,

which makes him a bit of a wild card.

And I want Cyrell to come back and I don't want Johnny to go either.

Megan, Conor, tonight's elimination is called A Dark Turn.

CONTESTANTS: What?

MAN: What did they say? Dark Turn?

We are gonna join you and your partner at the hip.

On my go, you guys are gonna run into

your respective sides of the container.

You'll then have to feel your way

through your container in complete darkness

until you reach a vertical stack of puzzle pieces.

All the puzzle pieces are different sizes.

You'll then have to memorise the order of the stack

using only one sense - your touch.

[GROANS]

Once you feel you've memorised the order,

you will then exit the container

and try to replicate your stack

by using all of these pieces of the puzzle around the arena.

The first team to correctly replicate their puzzle

wins tonight's elimination and gets to stay in the game.

The losers we'll be sending home.

Good luck, everyone. Let's do it.

We know we're here because people think

that we're the weakest team in the group.

But we're the 'overdogs', alright?

Yeah, we're not the underdogs.

I feel like we've proven again and again and again

that we can smash it.

We've already beat Johnny and Cyrell once

so we're about to do it again.

JOHNNY: Mate, I'm an underground miner

so I'm used to the dark, mate.

I pretty much spend half the time in the dark.

So I've got no issues.

CYRELL: I genuinely think I do have a photographic memory

and if I can store a lot of gossip in my head,

I'm sure I can remember this. [LAUGHS]

Alright, Johnny, Cyrell, Conor, Megan, you ready?

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's do it. [AIR HORN BLARES]

Yeah, go. [CONTESTANTS CHEER]

Both teams have entered the darkroom.

CYRELL: Holy shit. We just count. Just count them.

We'll use our fingers in a way

to measure the different size puzzle pieces.

The most difficult part about this is going into the dark

and not feeling Johnny up, eugh! [LAUGHS]

Could you imagine if I had touched something else? God help me.

CONOR: That's four.

That's five. Six. That's seven.

This is darker than a room in a gay club.

And I've come up with a combination of using our fingers

to decipher how many numbers are in between each space.

So we have a two, we have a three, we have a five and a six,

so we're dealing with four pieces today.

Alright, Johnny and Cyrell are gonna start piecing together

the first part of their puzzle.

Alright, one. Where's the one?

Conor and Megan coming out,

getting the first stacks for their puzzle.

Take your time! Get the measure right!

Take your time, Johnny!

Megan working through this one.

MEGAN: My life back home is pretty chaotic at the moment.

I'm kind of in limbo land, I guess.

I kind of put all my things in storage a couple of months ago

and The Challenge has kind of come at the perfect time for me.

$200,000 is a lot of money

and I can't wait to just get in there and...beat some people.

Nah, I'm not gonna beat anyone up. [LAUGHS]

That's it. Get them right!

Three. JOHNNY: Yeah.

And two. That's the one.

OK, five, three, two. OK. Go, go, go.

BRIHONY: Conor and Megan back into the darkroom.

KONRAD: I'd hate to see Megan go home. She's a great person.

We get along. Of course I'd like her to stay.

And she's part of my alliance.

And, yeah, Megan's a great kisser.

Johnny and Cyrell back into the darkroom.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Alright, Johnny and Cyrell coming back out.

Six. Yep, six.

Three.

Alright, Megan and Conor out for another session.

We can do one next time.

One.

Happy? Yeah.

Let's go, let's go, let's go. Yeah.

It is neck and neck at this stage.

Both stacks looking a very similar size at this point.

CONOR: Yep, get it in.

Putting another large piece of the puzzle on their stack.

Sorry! Conor flinging Megan around.

Saying, "Follow me in here!"

13 here. We had five last.

13? And then a six.

14.

There's so much more.

Really? It doesn't make any sense.

I'm realising that on the outside,

we have so many more on than we should have

and it dawns on me that I've been counting

the gaps in between the wheels

and everything that we have done is wrong.

Have you been counting the spaces? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Conor and Megan coming out to put the last pieces of their puzzle in.

Oh, no.

JOHNNY: I've got full faith in Cyrell.

Puzzles are her thing.

She's taking control and I'm just happy to help.

Go, Cyrell and Johnny!

CYRELL: Look for a five. Five for me.

Great. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

No, we need the two, we need the two.

MEGAN: Are you [BLEEP]... Are you serious?

They are opting to check the puzzle

and they are taking pieces off.

It's a restack!

We realised when we're nearly at the top

that we have got this whole thing wrong.

I'm freaking out.

How could we have got this so wrong?

There is no point stacking your puzzle if it is incorrect.

There goes two. Two.

Five and then... Where's that six? Right there.

That's it, Johnny! Get it on there, mate!

I'm trying! Good boy!

[CUSSES]

MAN: It's OK. Oh, my God.

You just see Megan's hands go up.

She's absolutely devastated.

Ohh-ugh!

My heart breaks a little bit and I start to actually get a bit worried.

I reckon just feel for that big bastard at the top.

Johnny and Cyrell are back inside the container.

It looks like they've got one or two pieces left.

Two. Two, gap, three.

What is it? Two and three, two and three.

Two and three.

Leave it, leave it. Leave that one. That was good.

God, I hope that's right.

Alright, Johnny and Cyrell, you want to check it?

Is that it? What do you reckon?

Check it.

KONRAD: Johnny and Cyrell called check

and I can't help but think what's gonna happen

if they come back to the house.

Ryan, Grant and Johnny are gonna have a really strong alliance.

I'm just really worried for the Bachie alliance

and so I'm really hoping that this check is wrong.

CYRELL: God, I hope that's right.

Alright, Johnny and Cyrell, you want to check it?

Is that it? What do you reckon?

That is incorrect.

Ugh! You [BLEEP].

This is a lot harder than it looks.

What goes through my mind is, "Turn on your mama beast mode."

[TENSE MUSIC]

MEGAN: I am just so grateful.

We have a chance at this.

Now we're in the lead and they're starting from scratch.

Alright, go back from the top.

Take it from the top and let me...

Five? Five? Yep, five.

Two, two, three. Two...

Johnny lifting it all off, saying, "It's wrong."

[LAUGHS]

Johnny, no! Mate, it could've been at the top. You idiot!

They're going back in. They've got to check again what their stack is.

Conor and Megan are halfway through their repack right now.

No, it's six. OK.

So we're going on this?

Johnny and Cyrell aren't even in my vision.

My attack on the game is always focus on your own game

and it will come together,

so they don't exist right now to me.

Six, two, five, four. Six, two, five, four.

Six.

EMILY: Oh, no, Conor and Megan are moving very quickly,

which makes me super nervous in this game.

I'm hoping that Johnny and Cyrell can really come back.

CYRELL: There's none together at all.

This elimination is giving me so much anxiety.

It is a nail-biter here.

Go slowly, Johnny. Trust me.

JOHNNY: Five.

Two.

Three? Another three, right there.

Let's go, guys!

Keep on double-checking, guys!

JOHNNY: Come on.

CYRELL: Yeah, five. Four, five, four.

You pass them to me. Pass them to me.

Six. Pass them to me. Pass them.

That's a four. Grab it, grab it, grab it.

Big bastard there. Right there, right there.

Check. Check.

Megan and Conor, that is correct! You are the winners!

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

[SCREAMS] Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Good job!

Good job, Johnny! Good job, Cyrell!

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

[SINGS] Doubt us. Doubt us. I dare you.

To get a win, we have that forever

and it shows everyone on that podium,

put us in and we're sending you home.

Yeah, I feel the boys had a point to prove tonight by sending us out

and they definitely proved their point because we're still here.

100%. Mm-hm! Mm-hm!

[ROCK MUSIC]

Huge effort from everyone here tonight.

When you guys asked for your check over here,

you had one piece incorrect right at the top.

Right at the top! [BLEEP]

Right at the top and you lifted that whole stack off.

[CONTESTANTS GASP]

Ugh!

Alright, these get harder and harder.

Johnny, Cyrell,

your time in The Challenge is over.

EMILY: I'm feeling nervous about my numbers.

It sucks that it has to be

another member of my alliance and my good friend Cyrell.

People ask me why I joined The Challenge

and it was because I wanted to surprise myself

and I gotta tell you, instead I shocked the hell out of myself.

[CONTESTANTS CHEER]

And I'm telling you now, I cannot wait for my son to grow up

and watch this and say, "My mum did that."

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] WOMAN: Yeah, Cyrell!

We're all crying up here, Cyrell. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[LAUGHS]

I got some sand in my eyes. Yeah.

RYAN: Love you, Johnny! Hey, boys.

MAN: Love you, guys. Love you, Cyrell!

WOMAN: 'Bye, Cyrell!

JOHNNY: I wanted to get into the nitty and gritty.

I wanted to have a few wrestles and a few bumps with the boys.

But at the end of the day, I've made good friends out of it.

No doubt we'll be catching up later on down the track.

I've had a ripper time.

Let's have a drink anyways.

Well, congratulations to you two. Thank you.

That was a really, really awesome session tonight.

Congratulations. You can head back up the top.

MAN: Get up here!

Alright, guys, it is time

for everybody's favourite part of the night.

It's time to check in with The Algorithm!

[ALL CHEER]

So let's hear from The Algorithm.

Alright, the team is...

..Ciarran and Brooke J.

[APPLAUSE]

The next pair to team up is...

..Grant and Brooke B.

BROOKE B: Grant is my new partner this week

and I'm stoked. [LAUGHS]

I feel like if Emily

was to take a shot, it wouldn't be against her own alliance.

So I'm pretty safe.

Our next team will be...

..Marley and Megan.

Hey!

Get on over here.

Next up, it's...

..Konrad and Emily.

KONRAD: Another strong partner.

This is a chance for me to win a daily challenge

and I think that's the most important thing in this game.

The next team to pair up is...

..Ryan and Sugar.

Our next team...

..Conor and Brittany.

BRITTANY: Mixed feelings.

Um, Conor has proven himself.

He's won elimination. He has won challenges.

But everyone seems to be out to get Conor,

which means they're gonna be out to get me as well.

And our next team is...

..Troy and Kiki.

Whoo! Hey!

It's time to get to know your new partners.

Get out of here. I'll see you at the next challenge!

[CONTESTANTS CHEER]

CONOR: This entire season has been a bit of,

"I don't want to! I don't want to! Ooh, I'm scared!"

Can someone please take a hit at some point?

Because I'm so tired of getting hit for no reason

and if we don't hit some of the bigger names and targets,

you're going to lose $200,000.

[AIR HORN TOOTS] Today, we're playing Buddy Blinders.

Orange, purple, pink, green.

EMILY: The stakes are really high. I'm sick of losing my friends.

They should be afraid. They should always be afraid.

It's got nothing to do with you! 'Cause it's not about you, Emily!

[BLEEP] right off.
