Five teams remain, including a new duo that formed after Yeremi staked a claim last week.
Leaving on a Bad Note
After departing, Aviv & Will left letters behind. Aviv’s are generally encouraging, but Will wrote a note to Justin that expressed disappointment. He said his heart hurts because Justin voted for him, and he feels used by Nany. This upset them, because they had no plan to vote Will into the Arena. They had no knowledge Yeremi planned to stake a claim, and they know other people played a role in putting Will into the Arena. Specifically, they feel Cedric betrayed Will, because he and Michaela suggested making Aviv & Yeremi the house vote.
Big Brother Games Won’t Survive
The cast goes to the club, and they try to get to the bottom of Will’s departure and Yeremi staking a claim. Michaela seems to imply she & Cedric didn’t want people to vote Aviv into the Arena, and when Nany hears this, she interjects. She was part of the conversation where Michaela pointed to Aviv’s bed and said it was time for her to go. Michaela says this wasn’t an effort to get people to vote for Aviv, but Nany claims Michaela is “gaslighting” people. This makes Nany upset because it made Will believe she had a plan to betray him, and she calls out Michaela for spreading lies and avoiding responsibility. Michaela faults Nany for giving Aviv a heads up, which was the catalyst that encouraged Yeremi to stake a claim, and she feels Nany didn’t have to vote for Will. But it seems most people in the house take Nany’s side. They were surprised that Michaela would betray an ally. They also feel Cedric could have given Will a heads up, but he didn’t. Leaving this conversation, it seems all of Michaela & Cedric’s allies are angry with them, and they’re on their own going into the final daily challenge.
Intercontinental Questionnaire
The teams are playing Global Exchange, and there are two maps of the world separated by 1 kilometer. One map has Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania; the other has North America and South America. Each map has multiple countries on it, but some of them are placed incorrectly. So, the teams may need to transfer countries (one at a time) while partners are tethered together and riding BMX bikes, which could be an issue for Turbo because he doesn’t know how to ride a bike. However, many of the cast members have no knowledge of world geography, or in Nany’s case, she just knows the places she’s visited to film Challenge seasons. Theo seems to be confident in his knowledge (which doesn’t mean he’s right), while Sydney has been to 65 countries and Yeremi knows some European and South American countries. There’s no hope for anyone to get 100%, so TJ eventually sounds the horn. Turbo & Sydney have the most correct answers, so they earn safety. As it turns out Cedric & Michaela finish in last, so they’re heading straight into The Arena.
One Team Too Many
The jury is made up of three teams: Nany & Justin, Olivia & Yeremi, and Theo & Adrienne. Obviously, Theo and Olivia don’t plan to vote for each other, and Nany knows this. She & Justin have accepted their fate before going into the nomination ceremony. Once the teams are there, things go exactly as planned. According to Sydney, everyone is annoyingly “Kumbaya,” and Nany & Justin are voted into the Arena.
Dunking to the Final
The teams walk into the Arena and they see a familiar set up. They think it’s going to be Balls In, and they’re basically right: It’s Balls in 2.0. The only difference is all four players will be competing at once — males facing males and females facing females. Each ball in the basket is worth a point, and there are three heats. The first team to win two heats remains in the game. Michaela & Cedric start by pushing right past Nany & Justin and score 2 points, but when the roles are reversed, Justin squeaks by Cedric to earn a point, but Nany fails to score. This means Michaela & Cedric won the first heat, and they manage to score 2 points in the second heat (though Justin put up a better fight). After this, Nany & Justin both need to score to remain in the game while Michaela & Cedric play offense. They shove Justin & Nany out of the ring and secure the victory, sending Nany & Justin home.
The Start of the End
After the elimination, TJ confirms what everyone suspects: They’ve made the final. But he warns the remaining players that it will be one of the most difficult things that they’ve ever done.
