Who was eliminated in episode 6, “Free Fallin'?”
That means every challenge is now vital because winning is the only way to stay safe.
Except for Aneesa and Katie, who are thinking about making a pizza.

They’ve got their priorities in order!
That’s actually not a bad way to play this.
I bet we’re about to see some really strong champion contenders lose out that way.

And even later that night, Aneesa and Laterrian getreallyclose cuddling in Laterrian’s bed.
The losing team captains go straight into the arena.
And this week, the female nominated for elimination will choose her male elimination partner.
Kendal Sheppard and Mark Long on ‘The Challenge: All Stars’.Juan Cruz Rabaglia/Paramount+
We don’t usually see these conversations happening in regular seasons to this extent and I’m loving it!
The first round is Gold vs. Silver, and Jonna and Alton are the first to drop.
And they drop fast and hard, so much so that Jisela starts to freak out.

She still finishes her puzzle in time, but is it right?
Big Easy tries to coach Ruthie before he drops, and Darrell tries to do the same with KellyAnne.
In the next round, Black vs. Copper, Katie is already freaking out about the heights over water.
It’s really disappointing.
Yes and Nehemiah both think they did well before their drops, but Derrick starts to freak out.
He ultimately thinks he got his, while Kendal’s is solved completely upside down.
After both rounds, TJ announces only one person got the puzzle correct: Big Easy.
That means Gold wins the challenge, and Easy and Ruthie are both safe from elimination.
As for the losing team?
The Black team, meaning Mark and Kendal, is going straight into elimination.
But they’re both really strong competitors so I don’t see anyone beating them in an elimination.
Their opponents will be the female who is voted in, and the male she picks as her partner.
Did she not come to compete at all?
Yes plays into it too, giving Katie a fake doctor’s note excusing him from elimination.
He’s not scared to go against Mark.
So who is Katie going to pick?
But I’m worried for him!
This is not a great way for his game to end.
Elimination challenge:Pull Me Over.
If both players from the same team win the round, that’s one point.
The first team to two points wins the overall elimination.
So this could go on for a while if teams can’t win the same round.
I’m really pleasantly surprised by Katie and Laterrian pulling out the first win!
They might actually have more of a chance than I originally thought.
On to round two.
Kendal and Mark know they both need to win this to stay alive.
That was not a smart move!
So all the other players better watch out for this duo.
I’m sad that relationship is getting cut short right before it got good!
But at least now, Aneesa can put all her focus back on the game again.
Because with people getting to choose their elimination partners, the politics of this game have flipped upside down.
