I accidentally flipped the order of Challenge 5 and 6. It is fine. In this challenge, players sit in giant cups and swing at a player running down a beam while twenty feet over water. Trey slipped up immediately on this challenge, putting him and Zach in elimination. Again, this is re-imagined as an individual challenge.

Who wins? CT and Wes won this originally for the guys because nobody swung on them. Same goes for Theresa and Jasmine. Camila sprinted across the beam with everyone swinging on her and made it to the end in record time. This time Camila wins as she does not have to deal with Jemmye’s time penalty. In the male heat, CT pulls the win again with his speed and fearlessness.

CT and Camila must now pick someone to start the draft, and they choose Diem. The order goes: Diem — Bananas — Emily — Jordan — Cooke — Marlon — Theresa — Leroy — Nany — Ty — Paula — Tyler

Sarah and Zach must now pick opponents. Zach picks Tyler and Sarah picks Theresa.

ELIMINATION #6 Balls In

The original elimination was two teammates running on a treadmill, with one player tossing rubber balls to their teammate who places it in a basket next to them to score points. Impossible to do for this format, instead we will be playing Balls In.

Results of Tyler vs Zach: Tyler is a strong guy who has taken hits from CT. He is not bigger stronger, faster, or more skilled than Zach. It is a 3–0 sweep for Zach.

Results of Sarah vs Theresa: Sarah has more weight on Theresa and can probably hold her own for a round or two. The difference is Theresa is much quicker and as seen on Exes 2, can get dirty if she needs to. Theresa pulls out a 2–1 win.

CHALLENGE #7 Blind leading the Blind

Players are blindfolded and forced to navigate a maze while wearing shock bracelets. Another challenge that can be easily re-imagined as an individual challenge.

Who wins? For the male competitors, it is between Bananas and CT. In the actual challenge, Bananas won it with CT coming in second. CT followed Wes’ direction on this challenge, so we are going to give Bananas the win. In the girls heat, it is between Camila and Diem. Diem simply followed Wes/CT’s direction of while Camila carried Jemmye/Knight/Preston. Camila picks up another win.

Camila and Bananas pick Emily first, creating an order of: Emily — Jordan — Cooke — Marlon — Theresa — Leroy — Nany — CT — Diem — Zach

Ty and Paula have found themselves on the outside somehow. Ty picks Jordan, and Paula picks Nany as her opponent.

ELIMINATION #7: Hall Brawl Part 2

We get another Hall Brawl.

Results of Ty vs Jordan: This elimination happened in real life, except they are both missing their more bruting partners in Marlon and Leroy. Ty is bigger, but Jordan played college football and is much faster player. Jordan gets a hard fought 2–0 win over Ty.

Results of Paula vs Nany: Paula continues her history of failing in physical eliminations. She loses the first round, picks up a close win in the second, and simply cannot hold Nany down in the third round. Nany uses her grit and size to pull out the win and make a name for herself.

CHALLENGE #8 Swingers

A simple swimming challenge where a player launches off a trapeze. Wes/CT and Camila/Jemmye won this challenge when they played it. There is a bar you can leap for to get you closer to the checkpoint buoy.

Who wins? CT and Jordan are good swimmer. Zach, Marlon, Bananas, and Leroy are all non-threats to win. CT reached the bar when he did this challenge and Jordan did not, thus we give CT the win. On the girls side, it is between Camila and Theresa. We give the win to Camila as she has won multiple swimming challenges and won the actual challenge in Rivals 2. Camila and Emily have now each won three challenges.

CT and Camila choose Diem with the first pick. The order is: Diem — Bananas — Emily — Jordan — Cooke — Marlon — Theresa — Leroy.

Nany and Zach are left to pick opponents. Nany picks Diem and Zach picks Marlon. Now we are playing with fire.

ELIMINATION #8 Snapper Part Two

Once again, we are playing snapper. Players pick their eyes and ears. Marlon chooses Jordan, Zach chooses CT, Diem also chooses CT, and Nany chooses Cooke.

Results of Zach vs Marlon: Zach’s bulky target kills him in this elimination. It is hard for him to dodge quickly while shielding his entire body. Marlon pulls off the upset win and Zach is angry that his season came down to a blind stick fight.

Results of Nany vs Diem: Nany lost this elimination originally when competing with Jonna. This time around she pulls out the win. Diem’s nerves prove to be too much yet again and she continues her streak of lost eliminations.

CHALLENGE #9 Color Correction

We are flipping the 9th and 10th challenge as they fit better when flipped. In this challenge, players race across a beach and memorize a color sequence. They then run back to where they started and sort their puzzle based on the colors.

Who wins? The girls who won this challenge originally were Cara and Cooke, with Cara memorizing more than Cooke. This time, Theresa pulls off the win. She displayed her ability to memorize a sequence when she won the giant puzzle challenge on Exes 2. None of the guys competed in this challenge the first time. It becomes a race between Jordan and CT, Jordan probably runs a faster pace, though CT is better at puzzles and memory competitions. In the end, CT pulls it out.

Theresa and CT must pick someone to start the order, and they decide on Leroy. The order becomes: Leroy — Nany — Marlon — Cooke — Jordan — Emily.

Camila and Bananas are shocked to be the last two standing. Camila picks Nany and Bananas picks Jordan.

ELIMINATION #9 Break on Through Part 2

Classic production favoritism to give Bananas and Camila the same elimination twice in a row.

Results of Bananas vs Jordan: Even though Bananas has done this elimination before, he panics under pressure and cannot break the wires. Jordan bosses through the elimination like he did in Rivals 2. He pulls the win and sends the champ home.

Results of Camila vs Nany: Nany has no clue how to use the bolt cutters. Camila wins the elimination with ease as she has done it before and she is in the final four.

Final Daily Challenge: RAMPAGE

Four ramps, four players per sex, and a whole lot of balls. Everyone plays for themselves for a spot in the final.

Who wins? Marlon struggled on this challenge due to his cardio fitness. Jordan does well, and Leroy never competed in this daily challenge. CT dominated this challenge and has dominated it in different forms. He pulls the win to clinch a spot in the final. Theresa and Camila are strong females who probably finish 3rd and 4th respectively. This is a match between Cooke and Emily. Paula and Cara did poorly in this and it came down to seconds after the score was tied. Cooke pulls out her first win of the season in the final daily challenge, beating Emily by one ball.

CT and Cooke have to pick someone to start the final line-up call. They choose Leroy. Order is: Leroy — Theresa — Marlon — Emily

Camila and Jordan have to pick opponents. Jordan chooses Leroy and Camila chooses Theresa. Marlon and Emily are joining CT and Cooke in the final.
