The Challenge: All Stars (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind - full transcript

Previously on The Challenge...

I still can't find
the damn box.
Got to go deeper, bro.

The Challenge...

the original competition show.

We're taking the ultimate
legends and putting them

head-to-head
'cause in order to be the best,

you got to beat the best.

Only one person
is walking out of here

with $500,000.

But you have no idea
what's in store for you.

Today's challenge
is called Deep Blue Dive.



This first challenge

after 15 years, it's scary.

Jisela, you now will receive
a lifesaver.

You can save a nominated player

going into
the elimination round.

As for team captains
on the losing squad,

Laterrian, this is
a men's elimination.

You are going
into the elimination round.

As for the rest of you,
it's time to nominate

one male to go
against Laterrian.

My vote would be for Ace.

Jisela, you control
the lifesaver.

Do you want to use
that lifesaver?
No.

All right, Ace, Laterrian,



you guys are gonna have a good
old fashion Pole Wrestle.

Ready?

Laterrian, you win
tonight's elimination round.

Congratulations.
Well, Ace,

this ends your time here
on The Challenge.

Everybody is shaking,
the game has changed.

Well, welcome
back to The Challenge.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Laterrian set the tone

for what the eliminations
are going to look like.

There's a few people
that have fear in them

that they didn't have before.

This is half a million dollars,
okay?

Laterrian did what he needed
to do for his game.

It was amazing.

Congratulations.
You won gracefully.

Thank you, except shit's only
gonna get harder from here.

Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

I do not want to be
the first person to go home.

Or the first person to--
that everyone votes me in.

Yeah.
And if I am, I'm never

gonna talk to you people again.

Katie and I are extremely close.

Uh, we were
in each other's weddings.

We used to live together
for years.

So I know for a fact
that Katie has my back,

that we are gonna be
aligned together,

and she's the person that
I trust most in this game.

I don't know.

I'm, like, thinking
too much into it.

Oh, everybody does.

It's interesting to live
with an old roommate,

you know, now in my 40s.

People will naturally assume
Trishelle and I

have an alliance
because of our friendship,

so we're not gonna hide that.

I can't help it.
I'm gonna be mad.

Oh, yeah, it would just
hurt your feelings.
Yeah.

Excuse me?

Are you trying
to break a record?
What?

Like h-how many times
you can do yoga in one day?

No... I'm just...
I don't know.

How's everything going
with, uh, the game?

I don't know.

Kind of in a weird
little headspace, but, um,

really been thinking about,
"Why am I here?"

Okay.
"What is it that I want
to get out of it?"

Um, 'cause I didn't come
for the money,

although that's nice.
Okay.

But what did I come for?
Okay.

It's been about 17 years

since I've been
on a Challenge.

Go, Kendal!

Currently living with my husband
and my three boys.

Um, I am a hospice nurse.

I think I have a purpose
coming back to this Challenge.

I'm here for my kids.
I'm here to prove

that I can do
what I once did and better.

Just because I'm a mom
who makes mac and cheese

and wears yoga pants every day
doesn't mean I can't compete.

Uh, happens to me, too.

When you take so much time away,
like, y-you-you don't know.

Right. Right.
Like, you don't know.

I wanted to talk to you, like,

the first night that we got
here, but a lot was going on,

and everybody was crazy
or whatever, but, um...
So much.

I know that, like,
I haven't seen you in forever,

and the last show that we did
was not the best ending.

The only regret that I had
leaving the last Challenge is

how I left it with Aneesa.

It's weighing on my heart,
and I feel like

I really want
to get it out in the open.

I felt so terrible after.

What are you saying?
What are you saying?

You're fucking Jewish,
you're Black,

you're...
What the fuck's that mean?

What point are you
fucking trying to make?!

Calm down. Calm down.

I know that it was

a long time ago,
but I know, like,

that it hurt your feelings.

And I just wanted
to personally apologize to you

just face-to-face, because
it was racially insensitive,

and I never would want
to say anything to hurt you,

because you're my...
-: Makes me
so emotional.

God.
Just know that I do...

I am sorry.
Mm-hmm.

And it will not happen again.

I totally accept that,

and I'm-I'm happy
you said it to me.

It was so long ago,
but I forgave you so long ago.

This was nine years ago,

which doesn't make it right.
No.

But we've both grown.
Yeah.

It was a mistake.
It shouldn't have happened.
Yeah, I...

It's unfortunate

that we had that li...
that hiccup nine years ago,

'cause we could've had
a great friendship.

Trishelle and I
are gonna be fine.

It feels like she

isn't that person,
and I truly believe

in giving people room to grow.

You apologizing to me
means everything.

Yeah. I think you're amazing.
Thank you.

All right. I love you.
I love you, too.

I was wrong, and I was immature

and stupid.

And, you know, since then,

I have educated myself,

and I want to be a better person
and a better human.

Aneesa was just
so incredibly kind to me,

and I feel like
I've learned a lot from it.

I really appreciate
that she's accepting my apology.

I love you.

All right, everybody.

Welcome to
your second challenge.

Yeah!
Yeah!

You guys are gonna love this.

It's a good old-fashioned game

of trivia.
Yes!

Ugh.
Oh, geez.
Today's challenge

is called
Ancient Challenge History.

Since you are all the all-stars

of this game, it's time
for you to dig deep and go back

into your past, because today
will test your memory

of Challenge history
in a whole new way.

To begin, I'm-a line you guys up
on that big rig

30 feet above water.

And right in front of you,
there are circles.

So, I'm gonna ask you
a series of questions.

You get the question right,

you're good to go.
Just stay where you're at.

However,
you get that question wrong,

you have to take a step forward.

The floor
gets thinner and thinner

as you step out.

The last two standing
will win today's challenge.

And if you are a man,
you control the lifesaver.

And since this is
a woman's elimination round,

the last woman standing
will be safe.

The first woman
to fall into that water

will not only be pissed
but she'll be going

straight to
the elimination round,

coming down to the Arena floor
with me.

Got it? Good luck, you guys.

I'm really nervous.

It was pretty hard to leave
my kids back at home.

I mean, come on.
I have a seven-month-old

and a four-year-old.

I'm-I'm really doing this
for my family.

Let's go, guys!

All right, Alton.
First question.

In what season
did the first Pole Wrestle

take place?
The Duel?

Good job, man. Look at you.

Derrick.

Who competed in the first
Pole Wrestle elimination

on The Challenge?

Aneesa!

And Paula.
Correct.

Go.
Come on, girl. Don't let go.

Attagirl, Paula.
All right, Paula.

Come on, Aneesa.
Hold on!

All right, Mark.
What were the two team names

in The Inferno?

Was it Good Guys and Bad Guys?
That is incorrect.

Come on.

Whoa!

Darrell.

Cara Maria?

Take a step. Hold your nose.

All right, Laterrian.
What Challenge veteran

has the most consecutive
Challenge season wins?

Darrell.
Correct.

Wes.
Correct.

Syrus,
name one female challenger

who competed
in the most eliminations,

five, in one season.

Aneesa!

Wasn't me.
No!
No?

Casey and Sarah.

Aneesa's wrong,
and TJ's smiling again.

He's like...

I'm like, "Here we go."

Get up there, Sy!
All the way!

All the way! Whoa!

Yeah!

Syrus, yeah, you're the man.

Yes.
Battle of the...

Season.

Wow! You almost got that.

Whoa, whoa!

What was the first season
that I hosted?

Battle of the Seasons?

Wow! Almost got it!

Correct answer is Gauntlet 2.

Get up there. There it is.

Whoa!

All right, yes.

I think it was Inferno.

All the way.

Oh, shit!
I will see you later, yes.

See you later?

All the way,
all the way, all the way.

Oh, geez!

Nehemiah.

Yes, sir?
Who was DQ'd on The Duel

for punching Beth?

Tina.

Beth.
Tina.

Correct answer. Good job.

Laterrian.
Yes, sir?

What tower did
players have to jump off

in Challenge 2000?

The Eiffel Tower?

The Stratosphere in Las Vegas.

Go ahead, man.
...two, one!

All the way!
See you later!

Darrell.
Inferno.

Correct.
Mark.

Was it Evelyn?
No.

Just keep it real.

Oh! Look at him go!

That's what you get for weighing

1,700 pounds of muscle.

Derrick.
Carly?

Oh, see you later.

Darrell, I will see you later.

All right, Alton.
So, on what season

did The Challenge legend CT
infamously invent

the Bananas backpack?

Finish him!

That is incorrect.

All right, gentlemen. Two left.

Whoever wins this

will be in control
of the lifesaver,

and you can save
whoever gets nominated.

It's down to me and Teck.

Teck, who hasn't done
a Challenge in

over 20 years.

Me, who hasn't done a Challenge

in about ten years.

I don't think
anybody saw this coming at all.

Next question. Nehemiah,

what Challenge legend received
a wedgie from Mike "the Miz"

on The Inferno II?

I'll just say Adam King.

Yay!

Here we go!

Now it's a necklace!
Oh!

That is incorrect.

All right, Teck,

where was Jemmye's
original Real World season?

New Orleans.
Correct.

Fuck yeah, Jemmye!
I love you, baby!

I love you, too!

All right.
This is back to you, Teck.

Come on, Teck.
You have to do this.

You know? Teck's my boy.

He's one of the only people
that I actually really trust.

If Teck wins,

I know I'm safe
from elimination.

What season of The Challenge
did Nehemiah win?

Okay, I'm just gonna go

with my gut
and I'm-a say The Gauntlet.

The answer is...

Okay, I'm just gonna go with my
gut and I'm-a say The Gauntlet.

The answer is...

The Gauntlet...

Fuck yeah!

...III.

Oh.

Damn!

See you later, Teck.

Oh, that was good.

Nehemiah!

Nehemiah wins it!

Nice work!
Thank you, Teej.

I'm super happy
that Nehemiah has

that lifesaver, and I would hope

that he would help me
if I needed it.

I know I can always trust
my Tenderoni.

All right, Nehemiah,
congratulations.

You win today's challenge.

You are in control
of the lifesaver,

which means you can save
whatever female's nominated.

Good job, Nehemiah!
Good job, Nehemiah!

I am in control
of the lifesaver.

But there's a small part of me
that does not want

the responsibility
of holding the lifesaver.

I don't want to paint a target
on my back, but...

if I am in a power position
to help one of my friends,

I'm gonna do it.

First one in the water

is automatically going
into the elimination round,

come onto the floor with me
in the Arena.

Last one standing will be safe
from the Arena.

So, don't get
the questions wrong.

I'm a mental girl,

so I'm expecting to do really
well on this trivia challenge.

And I'm ready

to show that mental strength

is just as good as the brawn

that all these people
are working with.

You're up first.

Arissa, what Challenge legend

has won the most seasons
of The Challenge?

Derrick.

It's Johnny Bananas.

I knew that one.
I almost said that.

All right, KellyAnne,

who was Diem's partner

on the first season
of Fresh Meat?

Derrick?

All right, Kendal.

Which Challenge legend

was on the original season
of Road Rules?

That would be Mark.

All right, Katie.

You having fun?

No. Not at all.

My anxiety is through the roof.

Because the last time
I was suspended

over water was ten years ago
on Cutthroat.

Whoa, oh!

So I'm very nervous
going into this.

All right,
which Challenge legend said,

"I don't need a gauntlet, bitch.

I will cut you with words"?

I mean,
it-it sounds like it's Coral.

I don't need a gauntlet, bitch!
I will cut you with words!

Katie.
Who was it?

Me!

It's Aneesa.
And you were there!

Have a step.
You were there.

I can't remember
what Jemmye said

six minutes ago. How can
I remember a line Aneesa said

from, like, 15 years ago?

Jemmye,

who was the only female winner

of The Island?
Evelyn.

Wes and Casey?

Beth?

Take a giant step.

Gisela,

in what season did Coral say...

I don't wrestle.

I beat bitches up.
Oh, my God.

Battle of the Sexes?

No.

The Inferno.
Light as a feather!

Yeah!

Yeah, Ruthie!
Now we're having fun.

Now we're partying.

The Ruins.

Mexico.

Real World?

You know what's good?
What?

You get to go again.

A lot of people

fell through the number two.

In what city in the U.S.

did The Gauntlet take place?

Colorado?

Telluride
or something like that?

Yeah. It was Tellulide--
Telluride, Colorado.
What?

Trishelle,

what was Johnny Bananas'
first season

of The Challenge?

Oh, my gosh.

Rivals I?

Oh!

I don't watch Johnny Bananas.

I don't give a fuck
about Johnny Bananas.

That's not very nice.

But it was The Duel, so...

I'm gonna need you
to take a step.

All the way. It's safer.
All the way.
You got this, girl.

You got this.

Whoa!
Nice big smile.

Nice big smile, girl.
Whoa!

My first reaction

to Trishelle falling is,
"Oh, my God,

I hope she's not hurt."

And then I realized

she's also going straight
into elimination.

Thailand?

Inferno II.

All right. Perfect.

Battle of the Seasons?

Oh! Whoa!
See ya later.

Adam?

Aneesa.
Nerve-wracking.

In The Inferno,
who tried to release Veronica's

safety line during a challenge?
Julie. Julie.

What are you doing?!
What are you doing?!

What is she doing?!

What are you doing?!

Congratulations.

You got that right.

Jemmye.

Big Easy.
Correct.

Um, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Dave Mirra.

I didn't have cable growing up.

KellyAnne,

who was the only Good Guy

to win an elimination?

That's how you do it!
That's how you do it.

Name one of the Good Guys
that won on The Inferno II.

I have no idea who.
Take a step.

Road Rules?

The winners.

Can we just take
a step up, Teej?

Yes.
Okay, I got you.

That was so rad.

Katie.

How many players participated

in the elimination rounds
on The Island?

Uh, one.

Oh, my God, Katie.
It is an elimination round.

How would one just play...
Himself?

Like, what is he gonna do,
just...?

They didn't even have challenges
on that show.

I mean, i-it was three, Katie.

So I'm gonna need you
to take a step and say,

"See you later."

Katie, just put your head
underwater and wash...

Fucking shut up!

Grab my arm.
Yeah, grab my arm.
Oh, Katie!

Yeah, she is so funny.

Kendal, what was

the name of the final
on The Inferno II?

They Go Into the Inferno?

No.

It's Montezuma's Revenge.

So just have a little hop
for me.

No, no, no.
No.

Now I'm not even standing
on the circles anymore.

I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.

: If I'm going
the other direction,

is that gonna be safe?

Am I disqualified?

On the... On the circle.

Can I just go down that one?
Back... No, no, no.

Kendal, what the fu...
What are you doing?

Everybody else went through.

You know, you'll be fine.

Okay, Kendal!

Okay, Kendal!

Aneesa.

What was the name of the final
on The Gauntlet?

I don't fucking know.
No. It was called
the Gold Rush.

All right, Beth.

Name one
of the Gauntlet games.

Push Me?

That is incorrect.

No!

Beth! Beth! Beth!
Stand tight, baby!

Oh, man, it's down now.
There's two titans.

It all comes down to this.

Aneesa and Ruthie.

Good luck.

You, too.

I can't believe
that I'm standing here.

I actually have a chance to win,

which is crazy, because
as soon as they said trivia,

I was like,
"There's no chance, really."

And here I am.

All right, Aneesa.

What was challenger Diem Brown's
first season?

Derrick already ran.
Come on.

Come on, Derrick!

Run!

Fresh Meat.
Correct.

Brad?

Queenstown, New Zealand.
Oh, my God.

Wes Bergmann?

Ayanna.

The men.

Mexico?

Rookies?
Let's go!

They were in Panama.

Uh, Trinidad and Tobago.

Aneesa.

Where did The Duel I take place?

In Búzios, Brazil.

Back over to Ruthie.

Damn it, they're
going back and forth.
They are.

Aneesa and Ruthie are
slugging it out.

This is a battle
amongst battles.

I know TJ's up there
hot and tired.

I know he's ready for somebody
to fall in the water.

But I hope it ain't Ruthie.

You got this, Ruthie,
you got this.

Here we go.

Who won The Inferno III?

The Good Guys?

That is incorrect.
Oh.

Please step up.

Big step, big step.

Big step, big step. Whoa!

Please step up.

Big step. Hurry, hurry.

Big step. Whoa, whoa.

All right. Aneesa...

Here we go.

Ruthless Ruthie versus

The Challenge
trivia queen Aneesa.

Who's going down first?

On what season
did CT and Adam get DQ'd?

Duel II.

Jesus. You are just
an encyclopedia

of knowledge. Wow.

All right, Ruthie, what were
the two different teams

on The Ruins?

Uh, on The Ruins.

I have no idea.
I'm gonna hippity-hop.

Go ahead and hippity-hop
for me, Ruthie.
Okay, I'm gonna hippity-hop.

Congrats, Aneesa.
Good job, Ruthie!

May I step backwards?
Yes, you may.

Aneesa, congratulations.
You just won the challenge.

Wow, look at you.

I'm the winner! Ha-ha!

And I'm safe from elimination,
which is

a wonderful thing to hear
from somebody who's been in,

like, 21 eliminations, so

no Arena for me tonight.

All right, guys,
great challenge.

Nice work.

Congratulations,
Aneesa and Nehemiah.

You guys dominated.

Nehemiah,
you now have the lifesaver

for the next elimination round.

And, Trishelle,
you were the first one

to fall into the water.

So you will be going
to the Arena.

All right?
Okay.

How did this happen?

I-I definitely did not

think I was gonna be going into
the first female elimination.

It sucks.

It brings out different emotions
and it doesn't feel good.

As for the rest of you, I need
you to go back to the house,

nominate one player
to go into the Arena

against Trishelle.

Got it?
Yes, sir.
Yes, got it.

All right, I'll see you guys
soon. Get out of here.

Take care. Good job.

Thank you, Teej.
Thank you, TJ.

I'm the one going in.
Right.

What do y'all think about Beth?

Well, I thought
you were just gonna say,

uh, Kendal.

Why would she say Kendal?

It's a stupid decision
if she wants to stay.

Yeah, and I do want to stay.
She's a strong girl
with muscles.

And she did go on the third
block. She did not fall.

She-instead of jumping, she...

She went, walked over, and then
she said, "I'm not gonna do it.

I don't want to smack my face."

Let's be honest,
Kendal shit the bed.

Plus, if Kendal is as good

as KellyAnne is saying she is,
then get her out of the game.

Katie, who do you think?

Right, not necessarily.
I mean, that's hard to...

But what we talk about
stays right here.

I'm trying to weigh out

who I'm gonna go against
for elimination.

I look at Katie, and she's like
a deer in headlights.

Like, hello?

Be a best friend for me.

Actually, I would like
for you guys to decide.

I think that's the best.

That should be interesting.
I'd love to,

love to see what
you guys come up with.

I'll say, I'll say
Trishelle just wants

everyone to hash it out.

All right.
Yeah.

So, I guess I'll speak first.

Um, a few of us went up
to see Trishelle,

and she basically left it
up to us to decide for her.

Before we even got into that,

um, 11 girls went up,

nine completed and hit water.

One victor, and then
there was you, Kendal.

So tell us what happened.

What happened up there?

It's... Well, it's, hmm...
kind of embarrassing

because I, um, froze.

Right? He said
whatever question it was.

I don't know. I got it wrong.

And he goes, "I'm gonna need you
to give a little hop."

So I'm like, "Okay." Hop.
'Cause you were
already on three,

so you're supposed to hop up
so you can go through.
But I wasn't.

Well, then, so I'm like,
"Wait a second.

"This doesn't make sense. So do
I hop back onto it this way?

"Am I gonna smash...

Like, okay, how I do that?"

Um, sorry, my mouth is really--
Is there water?

Kendal is having
a whole meltdown.

She's tripping over her words,
she doesn't make sense.

And I see this type
of behavior especially

when someone is lying
about something.

I get why it's easy.

I get why it's easy
to put it on me. I get it.

But what I would do
is who is the next person out?

The first person that fell
after Trishelle.
Mm-hmm.

Jisela. And then me.
That's me. I fell second.

So you're saying her name?

That's... Jisela.
My vote is for Jisela.

My vote is for Kendal.

Unfortunately, Kendal

didn't work out
and came down with the thing,

which I've always said,
you know, that-that isn't

completing what you're supposed
to do, so my vote is for Kendal.

This is a lesson, um,
don't leave it up to the jury.

I would've jumped off the side
if it was me.

So my vote is for Kendal.

My vote is for Kendal.

Kendal.
Kendal.
Kendal.

My vote is for Kendal.

I don't want to do this,

but Kendal.

All right, Kendal, you know
I've known you for years,

and I know you can do this,

that's why I'm not
voting for you anyway.

I'm voting for Katie.

Go out there and kick some ass.

I think all of us here
think you can do it.
Yeah.

And we want you do it.
Yes.

Okay? Bust through
the fucking box.

Kendal, you can do it.

Me and Kendal go way back.

She's from my Road Rules season.

When we did Inferno together,
we won together.

But obviously she's been away
from this game too long,

and I don't think she really
knows what she got herself into.

Oh, wow.
Yeah.

Well, y-you said
don't be a stranger.
What happened?

You said don't make it weird.

What happened?
So I wanted to pop in
and tell you.

I don't know. That's weird
that no one told you already.

Yeah.
I'm the first one up here?

Yeah.
That's weird.

Um...

Yeah, it's Kendal.
Yep. Duh.

So you knew that?

I mean, like, it's not shocking.

I feel not so worried
going against Kendal

in elimination.

I'm just trying to figure out

why am I hearing
all this information

from Derrick when I'm fully
expecting Katie, my best friend,

to come up and tell me?

You have not been
a good friend to me.

What did I do wrong?
Just tell me that.

You were not the person
to deliver the news,

you were not there.
'Cause I got food?

Honestly, if it was me,

I would immediately go upstairs
and just be like...

But what did I do? I got dinner
and ran up to the room?

You just explained it,
so that's fine. I don't care.

Like, I don't why, like,
you're so upset.

Okay.

I think this
is misdirected anger.

When Trishelle is stressed out,

she typically wants to take
her frustrations out on me.

But I don't need to take
anybody's shit,

and it sure as shit
won't be hers.

Ugh. God.

Fucking bitch!

What's up?

I am not gonna let you fucking
talk to me like that anymore!

I wake up to Trishelle
and Katie arguing.

And let me tell you,

classy just went
right out that window.

I think that when we walked
into the Challenge house,

something happened to us
and we all kind of went back

to who we were 20 years ago.

I-I don't live
like this anymore.

I mean, I have a family.
I have kids, a husband.

Maybe in my 20s it was easy,
but I can't do it today.

I am trying my best
to not be the Katie

everybody remembers.

Don't with me!
Katie.

Once again! Yeah, laugh,
you whore!

No. No. Hey.
Laugh!

But Trishelle's dramatics
I cannot deal with,

and I'm not going to.

I feel like I have
to placate to her

and her emotions nonstop,

And I don't know how to do that.

Oh, really?
No. So let me...
Come, come, come.

No. Jemmye,
would you like to say...?

Do you need a sidekick?

No...
You can't speak for yourself?

I can speak by myself.

Okay, let's try it.

It is constantly being me

having your back.

What way have you had my back?

My entire life
that I've lived with you.

Trishelle, we haven't lived
together in 20 years.

I know, but for six years,
who had your back? Me.

I will stick my neck out

for you only so far,
and I feel like I have stuck

my neck out for Katie
a lot in the past,

she is not doing it for me,
and I'm done.

Not a Challenge.
16 years ago

we're talking about.
Yes. Yes.

Let it go!
It's time to let it go.

You let it go, bitch.

I have babysat you,

wiped your ass for fucking
six years when I lived with you.

To me, you have to ride or die.

This one is weak,
and I don't like that.

I'm very sad

because she's been a friend
of mine for a long time.

She wants me to be
her punching bag,

and I'm not going to be

anybody's punching bag.

Tell Nehemiah to give
the lifesaver and call me in.

We'll see
what the fuck happens.
We'll you're...

I wish you luck.
You're trashy
and I'm not gonna do that.

She has no friends
and I have tons, so it's fine.

Uh-oh.

All right, everyone.

Welcome back to the Arena.

Now, Nehemiah, Aneesa,

you absolutely killed it
the last challenge,

so, Aneesa, you are safe
from elimination.

Trishelle, you got last place
at the challenge,

so come on down.

Thank you.
Let's go, Trishelle.

Good luck, Trishelle.

My plan tonight is just
to keep my head in the game

and focus and do
what I have to do.

I only came back here for Katie.

Like, I wanted to see her

and I thought it was gonna be
just like old times

and we'd have so much fun,
and that didn't happen,

and I'm completely shocked.

My feelings are hurt,

but I can only take so much.

Now for the rest of you,

you had to nominate one woman

to go against Trishelle
right here in the Arena.

You chose Kendal.
Kendal, come on down.

You're in the Arena.

Now, before I tell you guys
about the game,

Nehemiah, if you so choose to,
you can save nominee Kendal.

You want to use it?

TJ,

this is a very tough position
to be in.

Kendal has a heart of gold
and the house chose this,

so tonight I will not
be using the lifesaver.

All right. No lifesaver it is.

Okay, tonight,
you're playing Knot So Fast.

We see two massive,
Octagon-type structures

with a whole lot of rope.

If you're a Challenge fan,
you know what that means...

Jonna, go through the middle!

Hold on.

...not so fast.

As you can see,

there are two structures
in here.

To begin, I'm gonna hook you
to a 200-foot,

very heavy rope.

When I say go,
you're gonna go in, out

and around your structure.

Do it as best you can, because
at the end of 20 minutes,

you're gonna trade,
and you're gonna have to undo

what your opponent just did.

First person to get their rope
free from the structure

and bring it all the way
into the circle

will win tonight's
elimination round

and stay in the game.

Loser goes home empty-handed.

Good luck.
Go, ladies!

Let's go, girls.

It's been a while since
I've been to a jungle gym.

I have a lot of mixed emotions.

Mostly I'm excited,

because this is what
I came here for.

I came to play.
And for me, playing

is not the politicking
and the scheming

and the lies and deception
and all of that.

That's just, I think,
how people play

when they can't actually play.

I think it's gonna be
really evenly matched.

This is gonna be a hard one.

My heart might explode.

This is an endurance game.

I've seen this done

a million times. It's hard.

I would rather wrestle Kendal
at this point than do this.

I feel a loyalty to Trishelle,

even though I don't feel
it's deserved.

But I also feel like
if you're looking

at who wants it more,

Kendal's definitely
the clear winner.

All right, ladies, you ready?!

Go! Nice air horn.

Ooh, get it, get it!

There you go!
Get it all in there!

Everything just fades away,

and all I see is me
and the rope,

and how can I tie this up?

How can I do this faster?

Think clearly,

and we'll get there.

My plan is to try to get

all the rope inside and put it

up and over and

get as high as I can
and then just start

going everywhere.

Careful.
Oh, shit.

Damn it.

Slow and steady.

I see Kendal go through
pulling her rope.

And she kind of is weaving
in and out and...

gets stuck.

Kendal, what are you doing?

You have so much slack
and so much extra rope.

Like...

you're definitely gonna lose
if you do that this way.

I want you to crawl through it,
Trishelle! Trishelle...

just-just tighten it,
tighten it up.

Yeah.

I love to hear
people cheering me on.

I hear Alton.

He's giving me directions.

Now, Trish...
get the other stuff

and put it over.

You got this, Trishelle.

I hear Aneesa, I hear Jemmye.

Everyone else is giving me
support, except for Katie.

Kendal, that little knot.

Kendal, put your body through
that little knot

at the bottom right there.

Now get that other slack! Yeah!

Yeah, go through
that little knot.

When I hear Darrell's voice

coming from the audience...

it's like tunnel vision.

He's shouting out things
and I'm doing just that.

Weave in and out of it!

All right, one minute!
One Minute!

Three, two...

Good job.

Good job.

All right, switch it up.

All right, ladies, you ready?

Yeah.

Go!

Christmas lights, baby.

Come on.

Christmas lights.
You can do this.

I'm so happy
that Trishelle's trying.

Because if you take Kendal out,

we won't have to worry

about Kendal in the final, so...

fucking beat her, Trishelle.

Losing is not an option.

If I lose this early,
then none of it's worth it.

Been away from my kids--

I miss them--

and to take all that time

away from my family to come

and not perform...

I just, I can't do that.

Oh, my God.

I don't even know what this is.

I'm gassed out,
my tank is empty, but

I have endurance
and the mindset

and the mental game down.

You can do this.

Now go under.
Kendal's strong.

This girl is gonna get through
this like a piece of cake.

She's swinging on the bar,

She's having fun
and when you're having fun,

it's easy and it's looking
pretty easy to Kendal.

In the final moments,

I picture my kids and...

and then I just feel like I...

I can do this,
I... I am doing this.

Kendal wins!

Good job.

Way to kick us off, girls!

Kendal prevails

and shows all of us

why we should be
eating our words

for everything that we said
in nominations.

Fuck.

That was really hard.

I can honestly say

that I gave it my all.

I'm not surprised by Kendal's
performance at all.

She has the endurance,
so I hope that

Aneesa goes far.

I want a girl to win
the $500,000.

I had a good time,
and if you're planning

on doing a challenge,
go to the gym.

Do not sit by a pool
and drink cocktails all day.

Great elimination.

Both of you.

Very impressed.

All right, Trishelle,
you really gave it your all.

Unfortunately,
Kendal beat you tonight,

therefore, this ends your time
here on The Challenge.

Thank you.
Love you, Trishelle.

Love you guys.

Bye. Love you,
I'm proud of you.

Trishelle and I had a lot

of fun in our 20s, but...

we've just become
different people

and evolved differently.

I think moving forward,

we've just kind of outgrown
each other.

Kendal, you absolutely
killed it.

Great job.
Go ahead and rejoin the group.

You're still in it.

All right, everyone.

From the challenges
to the eliminations,

you guys are
absolutely killing it.

It's starting to get real now.

Get out of here.
Let's go!

I feel empowered.

I feel a lot more confident.

And I feel like they're probably

gonna see me
in a different light.

I still want to play
with integrity,

but I also know I have
to be a little bit smarter

and keep my eyes
on certain people.

This elimination
just fueled my fire

and made me stronger mentally.

And now they all need
to watch out.

This next challenge
is called Melt Away.

We're gonna have to use
our bodies to melt this ice.

Sounds like a little bit
of amateur porn to me.

Harder!

She plays this game paranoid
every single time.

Oh, what are you
talking about now?

It's just a projection,
she'll be okay.

She won't remember tomorrow.

Really? Go fuck yourself,
Aneesa.
