Well,The Challengehas officiallymade it to 500 episodes.
But did this week’s episode feel worthy of the milestone?

I’m ready to see the vets finally duke it out!
But let’s recap “500,” shall we?
Nelson’s just salty he’s now on Ruby and is dealing with it like a child.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies’.MTV
That’s a lot of ifs.
And you know what?
It’s about time that he got this kind of respect!
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies’.MTV
So they decide to orchestrate an Emy vs. Bettina elimination to keep all the vets safe.
IfThe Challengedoesn’t work out for him and he never wins, he should seriously look into coaching.
He’s got a real talent for it!

But enough niceties, it’s time for a good old-fashioned headbanger!
And Nelson, kindly stop saying you’re “coming for that ass” in reference to Kyle.
I don’t think that means what you think it means.

Meanwhile, one cell will be playing defense and using any means necessary to stop them.
This is mostly going to require speed and aggression, favoring bigger, stronger players.
And to really set the mood, the skies open up and it starts pouring out of nowhere.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies’.MTV
Literally, no one saw that coming.
Being outnumbered in this challenge is really going to kill Sapphire.
And that’s going to be hard to beat.

The next round is Sapphire on offense and Ruby on defense.
But after Kyle faces off with Cory, he actually makes it to the safe zone!
So Sapphire ends up with only $3,000, which is not enough to win over Emerald.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies’.MTV
It’s a lot to take on!
And while Emy and Big T give it their best shot, they’re outnumbered and outgunned.
Emy gets double-teamed by Nany and Tori, and Big T gets thrown around by Kaycee.
you might tell this loss is hitting self-appointed Ruby captain Cory hard.
So once again, Emerald wins.
This is getting boring, y’all!
It works because Emy and Bettina immediately get into a fight in the middle of the bar.
And when Bettina walks off, Emy goes into a full meltdown.
This is some grade-A politicking!
But Devin doesn’t “negotiate with terrorists or devils.”
Then Emy asks to go in because she wants to infiltrate Sapphire.
I can’t just give away finals.
You’re going to have to earn it.
you’ve got the option to’t weasel your way into a championship."
So Emerald finally votes, and Emy is the compromised agent.
Has Tori kept even one single deal that she’s made all season?
She’s not earning any trust and it’s not a cute look.
CT is really saying RIP to theirDouble Agentsalliance!
But will Emy listen?
So after all that, we’re still left with a rookie-rookie elimination.Sigh.
Elimination challenge:Bombs Away.
Whoever knocks out all their targets first, wins.
The only difference is Bettina is already feeling defeated while Emy is fired up.
And sometimes that’s all it takes.
And Bettina can’t keep her rocket swinging high enough before she starts to get tired.
With that, we say goodbye to Bettina and her…uniquelaugh.
Because even though they’re the smallest cell, they’re now looking like the strongest team.
And I hope they finally end Emerald’s winning streak next week.
