Did that dream come true for the seven non-champions vying for the top prize?
Did Leroy finally get his win before retiring?
Or did three-time winner CT get his long-coveted fourth title?
MTV
Let’s find out!
This continues to further CT and Amber B. CT and Amber B. take off for the next leg while the other teams struggle to finish eating.
But we’re going by classicChallengerules and I love it.
MTV
Leroy and Nany eventually finish and take off, now in second place.
It’s gross and I bet they regret not wiping their mouths on their sleeves.
This checkpoint is kayaking to retrieve puzzle pieces and then solving the totem pole puzzle on the shore.
MTV
But really, he’s just bitching out.
CT and Amber B. get all their puzzle pieces first and get back into their kayak.
Eventually, Leroy and Nany flip their kayak but get back in.
MTV
TJ talks to Fessy like he’s a child (because that’s how he’s acting!
), and Fessy says he wants to continue, but actions speak louder than words, dude.
It’s so pathetic.
MTV
Kaycee is literally carrying this team on one leg, and my heart is breaking for her.
But this is the partner she wanted!
On the water, CT and Amber B. keep on arguing with each other.
MTV
He gets back in, but tensions are running high.
“Karma Chameleon” playing during this scene was perfect!
The final performance failure is all on Fessy, though, despite Kaycee’s injury.
The Challenge.MTV
No, your season ended because you don’t have what it takes to be a trueChallengecompetitor.
You refused to eat (for the second time this season!).
You had a temper tantrum.
MTV
You pouted when you should have been completing the checkpoint.This is all on you.
Fessy has now failed in two straight finals.
Nice try “coming for the crown!”
And yet he still thinks he’s “gonna win this one day.”
But on to the three remaining teams of actual champion contenders!
Eventually, CT and Amber B. figure out their puzzle and run off, still in first.
Kam and Cory make it to shore while Leroy and Nany solve their puzzle and move on.
But Kam and Cory make quick work of their puzzle and are hot on their tail.
Finally, Leroy and Nany make it to the cave, with Kam and Cory not far behind.
Cory, Kam, and Leroy all call for a check but are wrong.
Nany gets hers right, with Kam next.
It’s absolutely the right call, they’ve been killing it this whole time.
If it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Then the long night in the cold, wet, glacier cave begins.
There are three different sleeping arrangements for the night, with first place (CT/Amber B.)
But that’s not all!
“I hate me too!”
TJ gleefully tells the teams as he leaves.
And eventually, Leroy confesses that this is his last season.
I’m just shocked Leroy managed to keep it a secret this whole time!
And those leads are everything, with Kam lagging behind Cory in last place.
CT and Amber B. make it to checkpoint six and continue their hike uphill.
She’s really impressing everyone here!
But CT and Amber B.
’s lead must still be huge because the other teams still can’t even see them.
They arrive at checkpoint seven, another puzzle, and to CT’s delight, it’s a tangram.
Step aside, Amber B., and let the expert do his thing.
She’d be lost without his checkpoint skills, but as a team, they’re really well balanced.
That’s right, it’s the finish line, and they just won!
CT runs over to TJ and gives him the biggest bear hug, and Amber B. joins in.
The smiles and relief on their faces as they fall on the ground are incredible.
Nany finally finishes, meaning she and Leroy get third place and leave with no prize money.
My heart is breaking for Leroy right now.
And Kam’s confessional is also heartbreaking because she was fighting for something bigger this season.
I’m really going to miss him!
But wait, the finale isn’t over yet.
Twenty-four hours later, TJ enters a dark room, opens up a laptop… and activates a newChallenge.
For the first time ever, we’re getting a new season teased at the end of the finale.
But what does it mean?!
Hopefully we’ll get some more information on that in the reunion episode next week.
Until then, thanks for sticking around for the longest season ofThe Challengeever.
Are you happy with the winners?
I know I am.
