Spoiler Alert!
Hello people!
It's time for another The Challenge rant and what an epic one this episode was! It was also super heartbreaking though... We have so much to get through so, let's jump straight into it!
We finally arrived at the final and, just like we saw in the preview, this is an epic final - 100 hours (which is, more or less, 4 days). The beginning looked pretty tamed, considering everything. They had to drive to the middle of nowhere, walk a little bit as well and them they had to pedal on stationary bikes till they reached 100 km (as a duo). That made for some really funny moments (mainly with Bananas and Nany) as well as some sexy moments, with Horacio and the guys being all sweaty and stuff... Those were fun moments. And then, it all went downhill...
After they pedaled 100 km, they set up a tent to sleep for the night. The next morning, the second day of the final started - they had a run, as per usual, with a few checkpoints. The first checkpoint was a mix of athleticism and eating challenge, which is always fun. It wasn't that fun for them, and was even worst for Olivia who got injured right away, with the skin of one finger coming off. Still, she kept going, and so did everyone else. That checkpoint got Devin and Tori to first place, which was impressive.
The next checkpoint was a good old endurance running back and forth with tires and then put them in some type of order. That one Devin and Tori crashed, once again, and they really got ahead of everyone in this first part of the final. Jordan and Aneesa were the first one to get to the second checkpoint but, not only Aneesa isn't the best at endurance, but she also snapped her foot so she had an harder time with it.
Lastly, the final checkpoint for this episode was the hardest one to watch, to be honest. Not because it was so hard (I mean, it kind of was) but because what ended up happening.
First of all, Devin and Tori completely smashed that checkpoint! It was that one that they had a slingshot and hit a target which, as we remember well, Devin was amazing at it and, obviously him and Tori got over that one pretty soon. After them were Bananas and Nany which they had an harder time but got through it and then... Olivia and Horacio. Not only they got penalyzied by Devin and Tori, so they had to hit the target four times instead of two, Olivia was already injured so she really struggled with it until... The ball ricochet and hit her face! It was gnarly! Honestly, this episode must come with a warning for blood because there was so much blood! She was so scared that she had broken her nose which thankfully she didn't and she also wanted to keep going which, obviously couldn't happen. Sadly, Horacio couldn't continue as well because they were a pair and Olivia wasn't able to continue which was so heartbeaking to watch! He even said that he would do double the work if that meant the could keep going... So so sad! Unfortunately he couldn't and so, just like that, Olivia and Horacio are out of the game.
It really is so unfortunate because not only they were amazing competitors but they were also great people and totally deserved to win! As I said, every single pair here deserves to win and I will be happy with either one that ends up winning, and that included Horacio and Olivia. It would have been amazing to see them win actually but, unfortunately, they can't anymore.
With that said, and even though Bananas is my favourite, I guess right now I'm rooting for Tori and Devin the most. They do have a good lead right now and they totally deserve it, being on the challenge for so long and almost getting it... But so does Aneesa and even Nany (even though I'm not her biggest fan) so... Let's see who ends up winning.
But that's it from me for this episode. What an episode, really! So let me know all your thoughts on this crazy episode and tell me, who do you want to see winning?! Tell me everything in the comments and I'll talk to you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
