Who was eliminated in episode 15, “The Cave of the Wolf?”

Someone finally infiltrated Emerald and shook up the teams!

Nice job, Amanda.

The Challenge

But a certain someone needs to be knocked down a peg for that to happen.

They also decide to make Amanda feel welcomed so she’ll do her best for the team moving forward.

They better get on that quick!

The Challenge

This is… not how you make your new team feel better.

Meanwhile CT notices how Josh is in the best shape he’s ever been and more focused than ever.

Does this mean CT is going to turn his attention to targeting Josh?

The Challenge

mtv

Perhaps… Josh vs. Emanuel in this week’s elimination?

That would only work if Emerald didn’t win the daily, and so CT starts thinking strategically.

That leaves two male rookies to target, a.k.a.

The Challenge

But can CT and Tori pull that off?

The first team to successfully steal all 20 sticks of dynamite from both of the other teams wins.

So CT can actually make his plan work on this one if Sapphire and Ruby work together!

The Challenge

mtv

I’m ready to see Emerald get absolutelywrecked.

Plus Kyle plays defense and holds Emanuel up for a while.

But then Kyle goes to steal from Sapphire during a run which was not the plan.

The Challenge

mtv

But he already pulled this same move earlier this season with Devin so no one believes him anymore.

Ruby tries to apologize to Sapphire but CT is already pissed off and fired up.

I can see it already.

The Challenge

Round two starts with the women, and Kaycee is feeling right at home in the big football pads.

And Kaycee and Emy both target Ruby this time.

Tori tries to run through Amanda at one point but Amanda just jumps out of the way.

The Challenge

mtv

How is this fair?!

Again I askChallengeproducers why they keep making these dailies favor larger teams?

I’m not here for everyone on Emerald gaslighting Tori for doing this on a male elimination week.

The Challenge

mtv

She got tossed from Emerald so now she’s protecting hernewteam, how is that a bad thing?!

Everyone on Emerald needs to stop acting like the other players should be helping them win everything.

That’s not howThe Challengeworks.

The Challenge

mtv

you’ve got the option to’t keep complaining about getting owned during challenges.

Just take it like a trueChallengecompetitor.Ugh.

And that means it’s all on Emy to get the win.

With Emerald now just as pissed at Ruby as Sapphire is, will they help Sapphire win?

The whistle blows and Kaycee immediately trucks Tori, knocking her flat on the ground like it was nothing.

And while Emy goes for Sapphire’s final stick of dynamite, Kaycee just knocks Tori down again.

This was my favorite daily of the season by far.

Hopefully we continue to go back toChallengebasics like this.

Devin and Josh need to stop acting like everyone else owes them the win.

That’s not how you become a champ.

Nah, I ain’t here for that.

This is Devin’s really ugly side jumping out, and he’s treating his own friend this way.

It’s a really bad look.

Even after the way he just treated her, she’s still trying to protect him.

This is so sad.

Who f—ing cares about your feelings, dude?

Once again I say, this is not howThe Challengeworks!

But they call his bluff and vote him in anyways.

And Tori tells Emanuel to be ready to go in.

When I tell you I gagged throughout this whole scene, that’s not hyperbole.

Fessywouldmake socks with his own face on them.

Knowing Emanuel’s got crazy good balance, he picks Josh instead.

Now things are gettingreallyjuicy!

Elimination challenge:Burning Bridges.

If they miss the bell, they’ve got to climb and jump again.

First player to burn the bridge wins.

This is all endurance, and Josh and Kyle might actually be evenly matched there.

But Kyle knows how to focus and win eliminations whereas Josh gets emotional and flustered.

His elimination record is one of the worst in the entire franchise, so Kyle has that slight advantage.

When the whistle blows, both men jump at the same time.

Josh misses his bell multiple times and then Kyle misses his bell again.

And as he runs out to a bunch of cheers, he saves his crying for his interview later.

That’s what we call progress!

And we all know Kyle’s track record for causing drama with his own allies.

She’s absolutely the rookie of the season.
