Who was eliminated in episode 8, “The Threat?”
And we all know what that means!
But I’m getting ahead of myself the veteran war is going to beginnextweek.

Emy, Ed, and Nelson on ‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
What happened this week?
Meanwhile, Berna is still feeling betrayed by Emy stealing CT as her partner.
And since Nelson is still hooking up with Berna, he’s the only one feeling bad for her.

Tori, Big T, and Betting on ‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
And Emanuel is enjoying the show a little more than everyone else since he’s now interested in Tori.
He moved on real fast from Michele, huh?
The team to solve the puzzle and set off their detonation station fastest, wins.

‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
The first heat is: Big T/Jeremiah, Tori/Ed, Kyle/Amanda, and Amber/Devin.
Devin and Ed are the first two back with pieces while Big T and Kyle take a little longer.
He just hilariously jets around for a while in circles.

Ed and Devin make it to the yacht, and Ed gets his key just slightly before Devin.
The next heat is: Ashley/Josh, Nelson/Priscilla, and Berna/Hughie.
Eventually all the teams get to the puzzle and it’s a real race.

Kaycee, Amber, and Josh on ‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
The final heat is: CT/Emy, Kaycee/Emanuel, Nany/Logan, and Cory/Bettina.
TJ even laughs a little when he says they’re “not even close.”
Eventually CT lives up tohispuzzle reputation and solves it, winning the final heat.

I’ve got to say, I am not surprised at the outcome of each heat.
But who was the fastest out of the three top teams?
Bitter Berna just mutters, “Great job,CT.”

Hughie on ‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
He’s teaching her how to be a good sport!
Bitter, bitter Berna.
None of this is shocking.

Jeremiah and Priscilla vs. Hughie and Berna on ‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
Plus, she wants to be the one to send Berna home.
Amber is actually considering throwing herself in?!
That’s… noble, I guess?
But it’s such a useless risk for her.
It’s basically a rookie move since Amber’s game is set up really nicely right now.
Amber then gathers the only remaining formerBig Brotheralliance members Kaycee and Josh to proudly tell them her plan.
Okay… pot, meet kettle.
At least Amber sticks up for herself and it turns into a fight between Amber and Berna.
Finally Priscilla ends it by revealing that Amber potentially wants to go into elimination herself.
Priscilla explains in her talking head interview that she’ll do anything to save herself from being thrown in.
This is the first time we’re seeing anything game-related from Priscilla and I’m impressed.
All the cards are on the table now.
And Priscilla isnota fan of Ashley’s threat.
But she says nothing and just files that away for later.
Again, I am super impressed.
She’s been really under the radar this whole season so far and she’s finally showing some potential.
When it’s time to vote, Berna and Hughie are of course the compromised agents.
Hughie has really grown on me this season, but can he win another elimination?
Either Amber finally saw reason on her own or her vet allies convinced her that volunteering is just dumb.
Elimination challenge:Race to Escape.
The first team to then zip line to the bottom, wins.
And both Jeremiah and Priscilla are untested in eliminations.
And Nelson is hilariously rooting against his own partner Priscilla because he wants Berna back in the house.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah and Priscilla are scaling this pole like they’ve been doing it foryears.
It’s a literal “disasster.”
He starts to panic, but he and Berna finally make it to their blade.
With a “Let’s play!”
And then Jeremiah steals Tori from Ed.
That leaves Nelson with Big T, and Ashley with Ed.
So with no rookie-rookie pairs left, the long-awaited veteran war has officially begun.
I guess we’ll find out next week!
Challenger of the week:Priscilla, of course!
She had the brains and balls to do what no other rookie has attempted so far.
And now therealdrama can start.
