The Challenge: All Stars (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - You're the Best Around - full transcript

Previously on The Challenge...
Who's first final is this?

Raise your hand!
Me!

I'm just so happy that I finally

did what I knew
I always could do.

Welcome to the grand finale

this season
All Stars.

You're gonna run the gauntlet

to find out who the best
of the best really is.

Alton, don't tip it too much.

The last-place team
at checkpoint two is out.

Fuck!
Derrick, Jisela, you're out.



You'll have a new partner
every mini-challenge.

Alton is the dream partner.

Come on, come on.
Some people are really

good at the grind until you die.

That's key.
You got to focus.

Each mini-challenge
is worth points.

Check, check, check.
Five points for first,

four points for second
and so on.

Five points, baby.

Carolina Reapers.

At the end of the race,

I'll be adding up
all your points

to find out who's taking home

$500,000.



Come on.

I think I need a medic.

This is The Challenge:
All Stars.

No, you don't get to lay down.

It hurts, you get through it,
it goes out.

Come on. It'll digest.

Baby, you don't need a medic.

I have a chance to still
win this thing.

Suck it up.
You don't need a medic.

It'll go away in a second.

It's just like period cramps.
Keep it going.

You're good.

You're good. Come on.

KellyAnne says, "Come on!" Ugh.

So, with snot in my nose,
snot on my chest,

snot on my neck,
snot everywhere,

I'm moving.

$500,000 is life-changing
for anybody.

For me, I'm trying
to break the cycle.

I definitely want another house
so I can have

some type of inherited wealth

for my children so they can
have homes to live in

when I'm long gone.

But, oh, my God,
these Carolina Reapers.

I need my mama.

Come on.

We have to be first.

You got this, Darrell.
You want to be number one?

Be fucking number one.
Come on.

I'm trying to get
first place every time.

Let's go.

If you come in first,
you get five points.

And at each checkpoint,

you get more points.

This is The Challenge:
All Stars,

so there's a lot of pressure
to win,

and I know it's gonna be hard.

But it's been so long
since I've been in a final,

and I just want to prove
that I can do it.

$500,000 is
no small amount of cash.

It's gonna go somewhere good.

I know what poverty
looks like.

I know what living in
affordable housing looks like.

There's no dollar
that I take lightly,

and I'll continue
to take care of people.

If you need to slow down,
slow down.

My motivation is
all the loved ones back home.

My mom and dad,
who are getting older.

I want to show them
that I'm not the same kid

that they saw on Gauntlet 3.

Come on, he's just
slowing us down.
Easy...

We need a medic.
We need a medic!

Look at this man's eyes.

Just getting a little oxygen.

This is gonna help you out
a lot.

History will not
repeat itself today.

You can mark my words.

My husband got furloughed
from his shop last March,

and I was seven months pregnant.

We went through our savings
trying to make ends meet.

So if I win this money--

when I win this money --

it will greatly help me out.

Yeah. They were
hot peppers, you know.
Yeah.

At this point
in the competition,

what motivates me to keep going

is the person
that I'm tethered to.

You can do it.
Drink a little water.
Yeah.

If I ever quit--
mentally, physically, whatever--

they have to go home.

I'm not gonna quit on Ruthie.

I hope she doesn't
quit on me.

Come on, baby.

My stomach is cramping so bad.

I could quit...

Oh, my God, I want to die.

I have a very weak stomach.

But I'm not gonna quit on Mark.

And I'm also not
gonna quit on myself.

Eventually, this feeling
will leave my body.

I will survive these peppers,

and as long as I don't have to
eat again in this final,

I am still in this game.

My goal with Jemmye

is to be kind of a motivator.

So I'm not really
frustrated with her.

I'm frustrated because I knew
she could have done better

without those peppers.

You're gonna feel better,
I guarantee it.

And then we're gonna catch 'em.
How about that, Jemmye?

My road dog.

You got it. Just walk it off.

Killing it.
That was nothing.

Fuck that.
It was terrible.

You're welcome.

Thank God for KellyAnne
pulling through for me

because we get first place

so we each receive five points.

You pulled me up
that fucking hill, though.

Yeah, I did.
It was fun, though.

This point system is
very close.

My second time in a row
to come in first place,

and thank God, I needed this;
I might actually have a shot.

So close.
Killing it.

Good job, Aneesa. Nice work.
Thank you.

Fuck yeah!
Get it one more time!

Nice one, Ruthie.

Come on, let's pull it through.
Good job.

Well done, baby.

Good job. Way to fight.

See, you didn't quit,
you didn't give up.

I've never had cramps this bad
in my fucking life.

We are in dead last,
but Jemmye's a fighter.

She did not give up.

I knew how much pain she was in.

So Jemmye did well today.

Thank you for not
quitting on me.

I am very sick,

but Mark was very patient.

I'm not doing that well.

I need a five in my book
before I start the next day.

I've never had cramps
like this in my life.

All right, checkpoint four
complete.

Now you are at checkpoint five.
Yes!

I need to get more points
on the board.

If not, I'm going to be
systematically eliminated,

but I'm not gonna quit.

I'm one of the top people,

but there's definitely
a few people here

getting in my way
of the money.

I'm consistently
coming in on the bottom.

I'm doing very well
in the beginning

and somehow petering out
at the end.

However, I still feel like
I'm a great teammate

and I still have a shot.

You each have
one remaining player

you have not partnered with
today.

So I'm gonna need you
to get with your teammates.

Go ahead.

Want to ride with me?
Let's get Mark.

These are your partners
for the night.

Yeah!
It's time to snuggle, baby!

Yeah! Give me some of that.
Yeah!

There's only one partner left.

Wait, I'm going to be
partnered with Big Easy,

the one person I don't want to
work with in this final,

all fucking night?

Biggest fucking fear.

My day just turned
to complete shit.

All right, go.
Aah!

What does it say?

Oh, my God.
We gotta eat it all.

We have worked so hard

to get here,
we deserve the best.

And I see plates of food.

Camp food. Hot dogs on the fire.

I'm picturing cookies.

I'm picturing warm milk.

As I get a little closer,

the meat is a bunch of

gnarly pieces
of roasted dead animal.

Fucking shit.

Come on, let's just go.
Let's eat.

Is that food?

Oh, they gonna feed us.

They gonna feed...

What the hell is that shit?

A little gamey. Right?
A little gamey, guys?

Is this, like, a giant parasite?
Like, what is this?

What is this?
No, don't ask.

Don't ask.
It's better not to know.

What you don't know
don't hurt you, like an STD.

Yeah, right.

Get it done. Let's go.
I can't do this.

TJ tosses
a Patagonian picnic to us,

and I don't even know
what I'm about to eat,

but if you don't clean
your own plate,

you're done from the game.

That look like a penis.

And, oh, is that an ear,
a tongue, a snout?

Oh, what the fuck?

Chew, chew,

and mm.

Chew, chew, and mm.

Little, tiny bites.

You're, like, eating too much.

I take off strong,

and I am just shoving this stuff
in my mouth,

but that is not the right move

'cause I am throwing up
aggressively.

Tonight's dinner music

with our entrées

is the sound of people's guts

and vomit

coming out of their own mouths.

Oh, stuff comes out of it.

Sit there and eat
that choco dick

like everybody else.

It's not gonna kill you.

I love you.
I'm actually kind of hungry.

Yo, I'm so glad
you're my partner right now.

There's this one thing
that keeps looking at me,

and I don't like it.

It's white and red,
oozing out the middle,

so I'm just gonna
turn him around.

At this point,
I am freaking starving.

There's only one thing
I don't recognize on this plate.

That's the benefits
of growing up

in a Filipino household.

Oh, wow, it's delicious.

It's really good.

I really enjoyed that.

You can smell
the charcoal burning,

and you know what?
I'm feeling hungry.

Treat it like it's a delicacy.

The meal of my life.

This is, like...

perfectly seasoned.

Onions and...

I mean, it's a little much.

Yeah, it's a lot of food.

Yeah, but enjoyable.

Is there barbecue sauce?

Jonna, how you doing?

How'd y'all season this shit?

Bite it off.
It's a little chewy.

What is it?
What, the dick?

I am physically dying
from peppers,

and now I have to eat
two to three pounds

of animal...

I don't even think I want

to know what this is.

How's that, Jem?

Not good.
No?

I'm gonna do it.

I just need a little support
from my partner.

Oh.

Remember who I'm partnered with?

I'm gonna throw up.

Uh-oh.
Ugh. That.. Ugh.

Ugh! I can't even look at Easy.

Oh, so nasty.

It's not gonna
get any better.

It's gonna get colder
and shittier.

Talk to me.
I don't know.

If you don't think you can,
I'm not gonna be mad,

but I just don't want to do half
of this and then...

No, I get it.
So if you want to call it,
call it.

It's all good. I'm not...
You said that you were in la...

What are your points right now?

Close to last. So that's
why I understand.

I don't want to quit, but
I don't think I can eat this.

Okay. Well, then, call it.

I totally get it. It sucks.

You want to talk to TJ?

What's up?

My stomach is hurting so bad.

I don't know if I can eat this.

TJ gives me the look.

And I remember
he doesn't like quitters,

and I didn't come to quit
on this final.

But Jemmye's got me
a little worried.

It's 500 grand.
I know.

You're taking
your partner with you.
I know.

I still have so much food
on my plate.

I am physically ill.

I want to quit.

I cannot believe
this is happening to me.

Are you sure?

You know how I feel
about quitters.

Come on.

You still have a way to go.

I don't know if I can,

and I'm already in last place,
is my point.

Easy, I know
what you're trying to do.

He thinks
he can convince me to quit,

but I came in second twice,

third once, and last once,

so I am still in this final.
He is not.

I'm not quitting.

If you want to quit,
I will not be mad at you.

I mean, if you're eating,
I will eat,

but I would rather, like,
not finish half of this

and then both of us decide
to quit is what I'm saying.

I know. I just want
to keep trying.

Oh, yeah.

Almost there.

Check!

You're done?

Good job.
I'll lick the plate.

Hells yeah.
Motherfucker.

I just feel really bad

for Ruthie because she's small,
and to put away

that much food-for anybody--
is unbelievable.

But we're partners, so I'm gonna

give it my best to help

encourage her to do what
she needs to do.

Fucking fuck.

I look over at my partner,

KellyAnne,
and she's having a meltdown.

Physical, mental breakdown.

And it's actually
kind of hilarious.

But the more she cries,

she actually eats faster.

She's in the lead.
She's beating me at this point.

Check.

Can I have some more?

KellyAnne, shut up.
Well,

just got to beat Ruthie.
Ruthie's back!

We got this.

You got room.

Done.

Mark finishes.

We're number one.
Three number ones in a row.

I don't think anyone got
that many number ones in a row,

so there's something
to be proud of for that.

I'm proud of myself.

Is it just one bed,
or we get our own?

This is a sprint now.

Check.

Alton's done.
Jonna's almost done.

You got it, Ruthie. You got it.

Oh, my God.

You got this.

Come on.

If you have to... Check.

Check.

Jonna has consistently

been coming in first
and second place.

Thank you. Thank you.

Nice job, y'all.
She got some points

on the board.

I mean, there's Darrell,
Yes and Jonna.

They're the ones
that are most likely to win

this whole thing right now.

Good job, guys.
Ugh.

Jonna's killing this one.

Check.

Good.

Thank you so much.
Love you, Ruthie.

I'm super excited
that I'm partnered up

for this last leg of the race
with Yes.

I feel like every leg,
for the most part,

has been the perfect partner
for me.

You see the balance thing?

You got to stand on that side
so it goes flat.

All right?
Mm-hmm.

I've cried more in the past
20 minutes than I've cried

in, like, months.
You're doing
a good job.

You don't want to do
any of this shit

right now. None of us do.

I just want to be done.

This is probably the worst part

of the final so far.

No.

I'm doing well
for the first couple of hours,

but it starts to sink in that,
like, my toes are frozen.

I'm in tears. I don't want

to quit on Darrell, but
I don't know if I can make it.

I'm glad I didn't
get Darrell on this part.

Am I good?

Thank you.

Come on, baby.

You got it. You got it.

Okay.

Hey. We're good.

Good to see you, bud.

Hey! Come get one.

Hey, look at the "callaberos."
Oh, my God.
Look at that.

You guys better be careful.
Look at the ponies.

Okay.

I've literally
thrown it all back up.

Remember when we thought

we were gonna be playing
backyard games?

You know,
pin the tail on the donkey.

Yeah.
Cute little egg toss.
Yeah.

This is brutal.

Right. This is like our reward,
but it's brutal.

He is a sick man, that TJ Lavin.

Yeah.
Just knock it down.
You're there.

I couldn't be any more proud
of Jemmye

or myself.
That was the one big hurdle

that I conquered,

and now we're still
in the final.

There you go!

I've eaten more meat right now

than I have in the past
three-plus years of my life,

and I will never eat meat again.

You see them little apparatuses

that look like so-called beds?

It looked like a teeter-totter.

These beds are kind of like

ancient torture beds.

If you fall

or get off the platform,

you and your partner
must switch.

This is gonna be
a night from hell.

I've slept

in snow caves on the side
of a mountain before.

I've shivered all night.

This is no different than that.

So, everyone else
might be losing their minds,

but I got this.

I feel warm inside.

I feel capable.
I feel ready to roll tomorrow.

No, it's fine.

I mean, it's not great,
but it's fine.

I honestly feel like
the luckiest girl in the world

because I got every right
partner at the right time.

Alton is the best partner
for this right now. He's, like,

letting me sleep, and he's like,
"You know what? You're fine.

It's fine. Go ahead and rest."

You feel good?

Yeah.
Got your little cocoon?

Yeah.
I'm done hearing

Yes's voice. I'm done hearing
his little fake positive crap.

Done with KellyAnne
and her little complaining.

My toes are frozen.
I'm gonna get frostbite.

But you know what? I'm not
gonna ruin this for Jonna.

I look at Jonna
as like my little sister.

At this point, you know,

I'm just gonna perform for her.

We're hanging in there.
I mean, shoot.

I mean, I'm hanging in there
mainly for Jonna.

Like, if this was a singles,
man, I would...

Yeah, I would've
been like, "I'm good."
Yeah.

All I can do... I mean, she's my
little sister, I feel, you know?

Yeah.
I would love for her
to have a great time,

great life.

Oh, shit.

You okay?
Yeah. It's colder, though.

I think everyone is miserable,

but I'm not sure if anyone's
more miserable than I am.

It is just torture.

This sleepover is

the worst sleepover
you can imagine.

I am freezing to death,

sick to my stomach, traumatized

from what I just went through,
and Easy

is snoring
like he's at a Four Seasons.

I used to live
in a fraternity house,

so trying to fall asleep
anywhere is not too difficult

for me, which, not knowing
what tomorrow's gonna bring,

I've got to get every snore in
I can.

I'm thinking in my head,

Jonna is still up there
with points,

Yes is still up there
with points

and Darrell is still up there
with points.

I got these five points

from eating,
so I need to keep my pace

tomorrow and try to catch up
and get the lead.

It's my first time experiencing

the two-dayers overnight.

Oh, yeah. What do you think?

Fuck. It's...

It's legit.
Started off fun.

Right?
Till we got
to those Carolina Reapers.

Then ever since then,
it's been... Woof.

There's $500,000, and, man,
I get a second chance at this.

I just lost Double Agents.
Almost got there

to the end. And I
definitely want this money.

I want some land.

I want to live in the mountains.
I want a lake in my backyard.

My kids
are definitely rooting for me.

I got to come back
and win for them.

I think I'm gonna
finally sleep this time.

I don't think so. Maybe. Maybe.

This money is

a huge amount of money,

and I would split it
in a heartbeat with my sister.

Shit. Hold on one second.

Shit. I didn't know
that was gonna happen.

Give me a second.

I'm kind of happy
because there's no other way

to win this
besides getting the most points.

I know that I'm doing
really well, and I know

that Yes and Darrell
are also doing really well.

Darrell, KellyAnne,
Yes and Jonna

have the highest points
right now going into tomorrow.

So, unless these points

are doubled, I don't
know if I'm gonna win.

Ooh.

I'm, like, kind of looking

through the sun,
and I see this image

of a guy on a horse.

And it gets closer,
and it looks like

TJ has just come out
of a Western movie.

Shut the fuck up.

Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.

Wow.
You look awesome.

What's up, guys?
TJ usually rolls in

in, like, a really dope jacket
doing this.

Take care.

Now he's, like,

getting up on a horse
like a gaucho.

Shit's getting weird
in this final.

Nah, man. Come on.

I do this shit.

Oh-oh.

Oh-oh. Oh-oh.

"I do this shit."

Come on, come on,
oh-oh, whoa-whoa.

Whoa.
That horse is hot.

I want to walk up,

smack the horse's ass,
and make TJ

take off, because, bro,

what you just put us through

these last 15, 20 hours
was fucking miserable.

Hi, guys.
Hey.
Hi.

How are you?
Good.

Uh... okay.
Terrible.
Shitty.

This is the final day.

All right? You guys are going
to race right now,

as fast as you can,

all the way to the top.

No.

It's every man and every woman
for themselves.

Upon until this point,

I've had to rely
on other people,

and now it's just up to me.

So... I've got this.

This is what
I've been waiting for.

Everybody's still in it,

'cause this is double points.

It's the last leg
of this final.

It's worth double points.

If you get first place,

you get ten points.

So I know my ass needs
to get first place.

I'm just gonna go fast as I can,
and hopefully KellyAnne, Jonna

and my man, Yes, won't be able
to keep up with the pace.

Double points,
all the way to the top,

and this is gonna be
very special.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, baby. Whoa, whoa.

This is the only thing
that's keeping me

not fucking murdering somebody.

All right, so, line up.

Now, shh...

All right, everybody ready?

Go.

No more relying on teams.

No more having teammates,
you know, slow you up

or quit.

The pressure is all on yourself.

This is the day where you'll see

people step up or step down.

And someone's gonna be

$500,000 richer.

All right, everyone, you ready?

Last leg.

Don't give up. Ready?

The horn blows,

and Darrell is gone.

Darrell is off and into
the woods immediately,

and I realize he must

know something I don't know
because

he thinks this is a sprint.

I'm running

at a pace that I think is right.

I believe my biggest
threat here is Yes.

This man is a mountain man.

He does adventure racing.

He has all the key ingredients
to beat me,

but I feel like my will

and desire to win
is stronger than his.

I'm not doing too well

when it's coming
to this points system.

However, let's say
I win this money.

I imagine paying for the cruise
for the family.

Bringing us together,

bringing my family together.

That's pretty much
what I would do.

I put in so much work
and so much time

and so much emotion into this,

I just want to show people that
the over-40s club is not old.

It's kind of like
the new young, and

we're proving that right now.

Ah, shit.

I don't care about proving it

to anybody in this house
or anybody at home.

I am here to prove this
to myself.

At this point in the race,
I'm seeing vivid colors.

You know, like,
when you're, like, running

and you get runner's high
or whatever?

Okay. Okay.

Okay, this is it, Jonna.
Come on.

It's the last leg, and TJ
tells us we get double points,

so I tell myself I just need
to beat one person at a time.

So Jonna's ahead of me,
I catch up to her...

Start making up some time.

...I pass her.

I quickly make up time.

There's no way

that KellyAnne
can beat me today.

I am giving it my all right now.

Every ounce of energy
that I have,

I am pushing myself.

Aneesa, wait for me.

You got to keep track
of these yellow things.

I'm grateful that
Easy wants to do it with me

because he's been doubted
as much as I have.

Just because I haven't done
a final in so long,

and the last time I did,
it wasn't this grueling.

My goal is to finish
the final first

but, more importantly, finish.

You good?

What?
You okay?

Aneesa, I'm going to be with you
every step of this trip

until we both get to the top
of this mountain.

A friend of mind needed some
motivation this entire hike,

and I'm not gonna let her down.

I decide to stop,
strip off some clothing.

Strip off my pants,

strip off my shirt.

And I know that without
overheating, I can catch him.

And if Darrell doesn't take
his clothes off,

I know he's going to overheat.

You guys don't know
how painful it is,

especially at my age,

to roll out of a wooden plank

at 6:30 a.m.
and start a five-mile hike

up the mountain,
so my main competition today

is to beat Yes and Darrell.

They have more points than me.

I need to finish
at least top two

to have a shot at the 500K.

You don't need
those kneepads on.

You don't need gloves.

Your body's going
to start roasting.

Yeah. Darrell just take off?

Yeah, he's up there.

Of course, he's not far.

I'm going to move
a little bit faster.

It's a marathon, baby.

I'm looking back,
I see nobody near me.

And I have no doubt in my mind

that Yes will not be able
to catch me.

All I know, all of a sudden
I hear something,

and there he is

with two sticks, looking like
he's on an elliptical trainer

on the NordicTrack.

I see you up there.
I creep up on him,

and I decide--

should I be my helpful self,

or should I... talk shit?

Let the horses run.

Oh, I'll fucking watch you.

Sorry, man, I'm gonna talk shit.

Oh, fuck.

Wow.

Respect these mountains.

I do it for my kids.

I do it for my mom.

I gotta pass 'em.

Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck.

Y'all didn't think
I could do it.

Motherfucker, here we go.

Come on, baby.

Ah, come on.

Come out the forest,
and it's nothing

but a mountain of rocks,
and I see Yes

way up there, and then
I look up to my right

up another hill,
and I see TJ and the flags.

Ah, Easy.

Just walk. Come on.

Don't stop now.

I knew I was gonna get you,
Darrell.

I knew it.

All day!

Yes. Right through there.
Ha!

Give me that money, baby.
Attaboy.

I run over that finish line...

and I feel great. I feel elated.

I worked so hard for this,

and I feel proud.
I feel proud that I did it.

Nice work, man.

41-year-old,

out-of-shape dad.

You showed up, man.

You showed up, no doubt.

Great job, man.

Ay, ay, yeah.
I got more in my tank, man.

You know, I'll take on
any of them other little...

other punks from
them other shows, too.

Yeah, Bay Area!

Yeah!

Pound for pound, man.
Good shit, man.

Pound for pound.

Oh, you motherfucker.
Yeah, the legend
right here, homey.

Respect!

Good job, man.
Respect, brother.

Good job, brother.
So much respect for you.

You, too, man.

You've been killing
this game, man.

You definitely MVP, bro.

Good shit, though, man.
Congrats.
Hey, man.

I ain't gonna lie, I was mad.
I was like, "What the fuck?"

Motherfucking turned it
into fucking sixth gear?

I knew I was gonna
catch you, man.

Godfather!

Attaboy.
Baby, baby!

Yeah, Mark!

Looking back on the season,
I have no regrets.

I went into an elimination,
had that moment and won.

I not only had one,

but I had two competition wins.

Grown man strength!

I feel amazing that I actually
made the finals.

I'd like to dedicate the entire
Challenge to my mother,

who is battling
stage four cancer at home.

So this is for you, Mom.

Even at 49,
I can still hold my own

and show them
I'm not just an old man.

Oh, shit.

Top of the mountain.
Yeah.

Good job, dude.
Yes!

It's actually been a legendary
Challenge. I'm 41 years old.

I feel like it was just a detox

from this... rat race

that real life
can get you caught in.

But, you know, quite frankly,

at 41 years old,

I feel like I barely
survived this

21-year-old's game this time.

Right?

Oh, look at her!

KellyAnne!
Whoa, yeah!

Yeah!

Good job.

You killed it. Nice work.
Thanks.

I'm proud of myself.

I got first place
three times in a row.

And I'm hoping

my numbers are
still really good.

I loved the experience.

I'm really happy I did it.
I made such

good friends, and I was able

to learn more about myself
as you always do

in these Challenge homes.

Look at us at 30, 40, 50.

And we're doing the same stuff
the 20-year-olds are doing.

And with a smile on our face.

You can't take that away
from us.

I had a great time.

Two people--
is that Aneesa and Jonna?

Wow!

Jonna all day!
Let's go, mama! Let's go, mama!

Come here.
Amazing.

I know, I know.

I got you.

You're done.

All these emotions rushed
to me because, you know,

all the reasons why I'm here,
the people I'm here with.

And, you know,
I'd never been to a final,

and I finally got to one
and I finished.

Finals are no joke.

It was a lot harder
than I thought it would be.

Every step of the way,
you had to really push yourself

and dig deep, and if I could
tell Naleigh and Cal anything,

it would be that you can
literally do anything.

If you put your mind to it
and you push yourself,

you can make it
to the top of a mountain.

Yeah, mama bear, way to push.

Way to push.
Wow!

So awesome.

So you guys do
like each other, huh?

Yeah!
We're now best friends.

Yeah.
That's what it's about!

That's what it's about!
That's what it's about!

Good job, y'all, wow!

Running a final, you learn
so much about yourself.

It's one of the most
challenging things I've done.

But the growth you get
in a final is worth it.

I've created friendships
and relationships

with these people, and so
thankful to be an all-star.

This is how the game
should be played.

What a fucking amazing season.

I'm not in my 20s anymore.

No Challenge is the same.

No experience is the same.

I feel, like, so lucky,
and I hope that

everyone knows how lucky
they are that they got

to be a part of this.

Thank you, God,
thank you, angels,

for letting me be
a part of this, 'cause

this has been good for me.

I'm just waiting on you.

Here you go.

Told you I wasn't
gonna leave you.

Good job, Easy!

This wasn't a layup final,
this wasn't a layup season.

As you've seen.

But we all came
and we grew closer

as a family to where I'm walking
out of here with new friends

that I've never met before

and old friends
that I haven't seen in forever.

This is my second final
in seven seasons,

and first one, obviously,

no one can get out
of the back of their mind.

Pick him up.
Look at this man's eyes!

So let's take that video,
toss it in the vault,

and the third time will be
the fucking charm.

We did it!
Come on, baby.

Told you, you weren't gonna
fucking be left.

I'm totally proud of myself.

I've wanted this,
I've asked for this.

And I got everything
I asked for.

It was hell,
but I pushed through it.

Chew, chew,

and mm.

It's all hard.

And it's not for everyone.

And I've been around
for 20 years for a reason.

And even though
I haven't won yet,

this is a win for me today.

I am very proud of all of you.

I mean, that was...
that was a heavy, heavy load,

and you guys handled it,
so great job.

Nice work.

So coming in a very respectable

third place

with 24 points...

was a tie.

Wow.

It was Jonna...
Yes!

And KellyAnne.

Good job, baby!

Solid.
We tied!

Even though
I didn't win the $500,000,

this whole thing was
super worth it for me.

This is definitely just as hard,
if not harder

than all the Challenges
I'm watching these young bucks

do right now,
and that makes me feel good.

Y'all fucking killed it.
You fucking killed it, Jonna!

Had a baby seven months ago
and out here

whooping fucking ass!

I can't wait for my family
to see this.

I'm just a mom, and I haven't
done The Challenge in years.

And I had no idea that I would
be doing this again, and...

just to make it
that far and just

to finish, like...

I just, I'm really
proud of myself.

And with 29 points,
in second place...

...was Darrell.

Good job, Big D!
Attaboy.

Yes!
I'm proud of you, bro.

And with first place,

31 points, and the champion

All Stars...

...is Yes.

Thank you, everybody.
Thanks, y'all.

Every day, I would visualize
coming home to my family

and walking in the door
and falling on the floor

and telling them that I won.

And my kids hugging me
and my wife piling on top.

And I tell them I did it.

Yes!

My man!
Hell yeah!

So, Yes...

congratulations,
you are now crowned

king of the mountain.

You are the champion
All Stars.

Taking home $500,000.

Hell yeah!

These people are true all-stars.

These challenges are
the same exact challenges

we have done recently,

and that final is
the same exact final.

And everybody
finished it strong.

And they did their best
and nobody quit.

And I'm very proud
to be a part of that.

It's something very,
truly special.

So great job-that's
The Challenge, everybody.

Good job.

I'm leaving
All Stars

with a huge sense of gratitude.

Yes! Double up!

Even though we haven't seen each
other in years, sometimes 17,

20 years, the friendships pick
up right where they left off.

Looking back on everyone

and seeing how it ended,
it couldn't be more perfect.

Let's go!
Yeah!

This has been
an amazing season for me.

Every other time I've come
to The Challenge,

I was almost, like,
a shell of a person.

I wasn't who I was meant
to become.

Now that I'm a mother of two,
I'm finally

who I always was meant to be.

For the first time
in my life, like,

I'm comfortable in my own skin

and being the person that I am.

I mean, I made it to this point,

and honestly,
I'm really proud of myself.

Look at our all-stars!

I come from an immigrant mother
who showed up in San Francisco

from Thailand with 300 bucks
in her pocket.

And this win is for her.

I think not enough
pe-people wrestle anyway.
Exactly.

This is the bomb, baby!

My kids didn't think
that I could do it.

My kids said that I had
a one-in-900 chance.

So I knew that this dad's
got something to prove.

And I look forward
to coming back again.

Now... I got the crown.
Who wants it?

"All-stars" on three!

One, two, three...
All-stars!

Yes!

The way that I play
with my best friend,

I will say somebody's name
for you.

I'm allowed to have
my opinion, right, guys?

Who do you think coasted?

These people know who they are,
they coast.

I think he just wanted
to suck her toes.

He sucked that toe for a while.

There was a rumor
that Alton is married.
