Which Challenge OG was crowned the winner in episode 9, “You’re the Best Around?”
Thank you toMark Longand the rest of the OGs for bringing some fun back to this franchise!
Even the most serious moment of the season, a.k.a.
‘The Challenge: All Stars’.Juan Cruz Rabaglia/Paramount+
the final, still had that same excitement and comedy that all the episodes have been serving en masse.
Let’s recap the finale!
I’m glad Darrell didn’t actually need a medic, but I hate those fake-out cliffhangers!

Finals (and ghost peppers) are no joke!
with 15 points, and KellyAnne’s in third with 13.
I’d be shocked if the winner ends up being someone other than those four players.

But she doesn’t have time to complain, because the next checkpoint is… eating!
But this isn’t your regular campout cooking.
The plates are full of unidentified, “gamey” meats that honestly don’t even look edible.

But most of the players don’t even want to know what they’re shoving down their throats.
They just do it.
These areAll Starsfor a reason!Fessy, eat your heart out,literally.
That’s not to say they’re doing it well.
Aneesa and Darrell are dancing it out while they chew.
After a while, KellyAnne starts crying, but at least she doesn’t stop housing the food.
Somehow Alton is eating it like he’s at a fancy steakhouse, sophisticated fork technique and all.
They’re all making progress… except for Jemmye and Big Easy.
But at least he’s trying, whereas Jemmye decides she can’t do it.
He also doesn’t want to get DQed from yet anotherChallenge, though.
If Jemmye DQs him, at least he’ll have an excuse.
Good for her for continuing to eat!
Meanwhile, Yes finishes his plate first but has to wait for Ruthie to finish.
Eventually, she finishes her plate second and then asks for more!
Talk about an impressive showing it wasn’t pretty, but it was effective.
And then Mark finishes his plate, securing first place for him and KellyAnne.
Alton finishes his plate next, and Jonna does soon after, getting second place for them both.
I am not impressed with the last-place team, to say the least.
But if the player falls off the lever, the partners have to swap places.
Plus, it’s freezing!
Yes isn’t bothered by the cold, and he lets Ruthie get a lot of sleep.
Meanwhile, Big Easy is snoring loud, which pisses off Jemmye.
So I guess “the next couple days” only meant two?
The horn blows, and they all race off for the last leg.
Darrell takes off quickly, while Yes deliberately sets a slower pace for himself.
Mark is in fourth, with Jonna in fifth.
Eventually, KellyAnne passes Ruthie and then Jemmye and then eventually Jonna.
Or talk s—?
Yeah,he talks s—!
He’s exhausted beyond belief, but he’s unstoppable.
As Darrell sees the finish line, he gives one final push to try and pass Yes.
I wouldverymuch like to see that!
Darrell eventually finishes in second place, and Mark in third.
So how did all the points add up?
Third place is a tie with 24 points between Jonna and KellyAnne an awesome performance from them both.
As much as I would have loved seeing Darrell finally get his fifth win, this just feels right.
Darrell literally came weeks after he was eliminated onDouble Agents.
Yes didn’t have political relationships coming into this; he made them on the fly.
He let his performance speak for itself.
And he was hilarious to watch.
I’m happy with how everything turned out this season are you?
Let me know your thoughts below before the reunion drops on Paramount+ next week!
