Who was eliminated in episode 14, “Mavericks?”
But we also lost one of the best female vets, which had nothing to do with an elimination.
So what went down?

mtv
Let’s recap it all!
And Logan says he only left Ruby because his Ruby team member Cory called him down into the elimination.
We saw that last week with Amanda!

mtv
But Logan’s a man, so Nelson’s cool with him.Curious.
Finally, something exciting is going to happen!
CT isnotgoing to like that.

mtv
And lo and behold, he immediately appears to attempt to talk Big T into going to Emerald instead.
And Logan says if Big T follows him to Sapphire, he’ll just go back to Ruby.
At least this time, CT is being respectful and as nice as possible while telling her that.

mtv
We call that progress.
And unlike Big T, Amanda sees right through it.
Tori, you in trouble, girl.

mtv
Also, Josh, you should know better than to tell Amanda a secret!
Powell details this week’s daily, inspired by an official underwater naval aviation survival training course.
Do you think he’d ever heard ofThe Challengebefore he appeared on it?

mtv
But anyway, on to this week’s daily, which looks really cool.
Then onshore, teams must recreate that key using all the symbols they collected.
The team to complete the key the fastest wins, and there’s a 45-minute time limit.

As soon as the jet drops in the water, the cabin floods all the way.
After the second check, it’sstillwrong.
They finally finish, but Sapphire and Ruby are laughing on the sidelines.

mtv
This might finally be the week that Emerald’s streak is broken!
Honey, I don’t think Tom watchesThe Challengein his free time.
Our confirmed celebrity fans are actuallyRihannaandDrake, so take the win there.

mtv
Even though Ruby has only four members, they make quick work of finding the symbols.
She literally had one job!
So Kyle and Nelson, who already found the symbols, have to pick up her slack.

mtv
Amanda starts freaking out because having to rely on Nelson and Kyle for a puzzle key?
Eventually, they run out of time and DQ.
TJ laughs as he tells them they weren’t even close.
And they all attack this mission withprecision.
The other teams are worried!
Enough is enough; infiltrate Emerald!
Brutal, but not untrue.
So she decides, with Ashley’s encouragement, to break up their party.
But in classic Amanda style, she doesn’t allow for a real conversation.
She just drops that bomb, tries to start an argument, gets defensive, then walks away.
No one on Sapphire is smiling either.
Where’s Ashley?!
This is… weird.
She has been deactivated.
She is no longer able to continue in this game for the rest of the season."
Wait, what the f—?
But it should be explained to us!
So now Sapphire is down to three players, and Amanda has to put her game face on.
It’s the smartest option.
Elimination challenge:Vault Escape.
After the eighth pole is unlocked, players must make a leap of faith to ring the bell.
Whoever rings the bell first wins.
Amanda finally gets to her last pole as Big T slows down and looks absolutely defeated.
Amanda makes the leap to her bell and wins, sending Big T home.
So Big T is given a second chance and sent right back to Ruby.
