The only people happy about this Kings Palace alliance is… the Kings Palace.

And they’re just getting louder and louder about it.

This won’t end well for them.

No need to start planting seeds of doubt and making an enemy prematurely.

Nehemiah and Melinda go first, with Nehemiah singing the Kings Palace theme song before swinging Melinda.

They end up with 20 flags.

Teck and Ayanna go next, with Teck swinging a screaming Ayanna.

She doesn’t stop screaming at the top of her lungs the entire run and only grabs 11 flags.

They only get 10, bumping Teck and Ayanna out of last place.

But since they have the Life Shield, they know they won’t go into elimination.

They end up with 21, beating Nehemiah and Melinda by one and winning the whole thing.

As for last place?

With Laterrian and Jasmine safe, that means Teck and Ayanna are going into elimination instead.

The Kings Palace is in trouble!

Nehemiah chose to draw this line in the sand this season, and now he’s facing the consequences.

He’d rather put up Cohutta and Casey, so he convinces her to go with that plan instead.

He is absolutely pissed.

They just didn’t plan for the long term.

Nehemiah and Laterrian complain that Darrell hasn’t gone into elimination while they’ve all had to this season.

The next morning, Nehemiah and Brad finally sit down to talk.

That makes sense; good job, Brad!

But Nehemiah thought their friendship would save him despite never talking game with Brad.

Brad apologizes anyways, and Nehemiah accepts it, so they’re good.

But they also know they’re not working together this season.

And then two more.

And they’re all positive!

How is production not testing for this before the season begins?

“I created Kings Palace, and when I created that, it was bigger than us.

I use the term king when referencing minorities,” Nehemiah says.

“I use the term king to be a reminder that they come from royalty.

I created that, and there was backlash to it.

If I’ve got to go in, I’ve got to go in.”

So now the elimination is Nehemiah and Melinda vs. Teck and Ayanna.

The Kings Palace is definitely losing someone tonight.

She’s no longer medically fit to compete, so all four teams in the sand are safe.

Good on the producers for making this call and putting Casey’s safety first.

That’s absolutely a step in the right direction when it comes to pregnant cast members.

Why does Cohutta have to leave without getting the chance to fight for his spot too?!

This is a brutal outcome for Cohutta.

And it’s not Casey’s fault; this is fully on the producers making a bad call.

They know they just got a miracle.

And the rest of the season has been impacted irrevocably.

I really feel for this man right now.
