The daily challenge had players running to find a ball hidden in barracks and then bring it back to their teammates who must run the ball through the mud pit and to the finish line. I had to rewatch this episode to see which of the males/females got balls for their teammates first.

HEAT 1

Turbo and Gus get balls for their teammates first again, and they pass the finish line with nobody attacking them. The same goes for Zach with Georgia (instead of Zahida). Josh got a ball very quickly for Amanda, but she ended up wrestling with Georgia for a long time. Cara is not getting wrestled down as fast. JP gets a ball to Amanda, and without Georgia to fight her, she gets to the finish line.

In the end, Natalie cannot out wrestle the other girls; neither can Zahida, and Dee only was able to get a ball the first time around by stealing it from Shaleen.

Turbo — Ashley, Gus — Jenna, Zach — Georgia, Josh — Cara, JP — Amanda, Paulie/Ninja, Ash — Kam, Bear — Day, CT — Mattie, Theo — Nany, Leroy — Julia, Bananas — Morgan

Out: Kyle/Zahida, Wes/Dee, Chase/Natalie

HEAT 2

Bananas/Morgan, Josh, and Amanda did not make it to the second round initially. This time around, I am projecting them to do poorly only because they didn’t make it to this point originally, and it’s difficult to project them as they’re not exceedingly better than those we’ve seen succeed or those who might be better.

Kam — Ash, Ninja — Paulie, Bear — Day, Julia — Leroy, Jenna — Gus, Zach — Georgia, Mattie — CT, Nany — Theo, Ashley — Turbo

Out: Cara/Josh, Amanda/JP, Bananas/Morgan

HEAT 3

Gus finds a ball quickly in this one. CT gives his extra ball to Wes, but because Wes is out, he donates the extra ball to Zach. Julia got her ball stolen from her, but with Mattie as CT’s new partner, she passes the finish line with the ball.

Gus — Jenna, Zach — Georgia, CT — Mattie, Paulie — Ninja, Kam — Ash, Turbo — Ashley

Out: Nany/Theo, Julia/Leroy, Day/Bear

HEAT 4

Ash muscles the ball away from Gus, and Paulie takes advantage like in the actual daily challenge. In the end, I project Mattie and Kam as the two most physically imposing women to be able to pass the finish line with the ball.

Winners: Paulie/Ninja, CT/Mattie, Kam/Ash

Paulie nominates Kyle per usual, Kam nominates Amanda/Josh as a path of least resistance and CT votes in Bear/Day as they are the closest to being a rookie team.

Nominees: Kyle/Zahida, Amanda/JP, Bear/Day

Paulie is the only person who truly cares about his nominee going into elimination, Kam and CT follow as it only puts blood on Paulie’s hands. Kyle and Zahida call out Chase and Natalie as they are allies with Paulie and an easy target.

In this geography-based elimination, Kyle can traverse the rock climbing easier with his slimmer frame. Zahida won this elimination with Zach when they were supposed to throw it, so I assume they’ll be able to beat Chase and Natalie.

Tribunal Pick: Kyle/Zahida

Called Out: Chase/Natalie

Eliminated: Chase/Natalie
