Who was eliminated in episode 9, “The War?”
But who was the first victim of the veteran war?
Let’s get into it!

But Josh is worried since he’s now attached to her.
He tries to hype them up about how now it’s time to really get to work.
Nelson’s contribution to the conversation?

“Spies, lies, and allies,” he says while shaking his head.
Good talk, bro!
you’re free to always count on Nelson for those nuggets of wisdom.

Meanwhile, Ed has a way more interesting and fruitful conversation in the pool room with himself.
I would honestly take watching Ed talk to a mirror over watching Cory and Nelson talk strategy any day.
Nelson and Cory, you in trouble, bros!

The Challenge: Bombshell Battle
This one’s going to get dirty and I mean that figurativelyandliterally.
Balls are flying, dudes are tackling each other, mud is splashing everywhere.
At one point, CT gets it but Kyle knocks it out of his hands.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
Ed picks it up, but then CT’s right back on top of him.
But he drops it and falls down a few times, which gives Kyle enough time to corner him.
And even though Josh employs some dirty tactics he literally chokes Kyle with one hand at one point!

he still can’t get away.
Eventually all the guys join in, and Cory gets a good tackle in on Josh.
No one is going to just give it to him.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
I guess Josh is mad that he had to actually compete, and he lost?
Which is… the point of the show?
This is just poor sportsmanship.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
Stop complaining, you both lost.
But on to round 2, which has neither Cory nor Josh!
tries to tackle her.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
Kaycee just screwed over herself and Amber, once again, for no reason.
Logan points out they’re closest to his rope so they should stop fighting and let him win.
In exchange, he promises both Ed/Ashley and Nelson/Big T will be safe from elimination.
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
Nelson finally decides to take the deal, tackles Ed away, and Logan/Nany win.
That final tackle from Nelson was performative.
Why is he getting all the credit here?!
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
If Ed and Ashley don’t get any safety that is extremely messed up.
And Ashley’s paranoia starts to come out immediately, which does not bode well for her.
What a perfect time to add alcohol to the mix with a party at the house!
‘The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies’.MTV
The next morning, Cory tries to rally numbers to have Ed and Ashley as the house vote.
That opens Devin’s eyes to maybe needing to worry about Cory after all.
But it’s all going to come down to the deliberation.
“Who did I snake?”
she asks Cory, and he just stares at her because he can’t think of a single example.
(Side note: Doesn’t that cross some line?
Are winners even allowed to share prize money?)
Oooh, she got him there!
They start yelling at each other and it gets ugly.
I don’t think CT or Kaycee are going to be thrilled about that plan!
Elimination challenge:Hang in the Balance.
Then teams must solve the puzzle at the end.
They just keep falling over and over again.
Cory and Bettina finally make some progress but fall again halfway through.
They make it across twice, but their strategy is clearly exhausting both of their bodies.
Cory and Bettina copy their strategy and finally make it across once, but continue to fall.
Cory even gets smashed on the head with some puzzle pieces after one particularly painful fall.
Talk about a shocking comeback!
But… TJ just tells them to rejoin the group.
“See you soon!”
Gotta love when TJ throws a little twist into the game!
Is this season about to become individual?
I wouldn’t hate that.
Challenger of the week:Logan for exposing his messy side.
This man loves drama and because of that, he suddenly just got a lot more interesting.
