Rivals Recap: Get Off of Me!

Last night's episode brought the teams to Argentina and brought back a significant amount of drama to the Challenge.


Challenges usually have a significant amount of time dedicated to the actual missions themselves, but last night was an exception. We began the episode with a drunken night of revelry and this quickly turned ugly when Cara Maria (Fresh Meat II) became the target. Wes (Austin) and Paula (Key West) turned on her, dropping a bottle of coke on her head. Laurel (Fresh Meat II), her former rival turned friend, quickly came to her defense, kicking Wes out and making Paula cry.

At the Challenge, rookies Leroy (Las Vegas) and Mike (Las Vegas) scored an upset, winning the Challenge. Targets CT (Paris) and Adam (Paris) disqualified and were automatically sent to the Jungle. The teams were thrown a curveball when TJ announced that the teams would have to vote, right then, who would go to the final Jungle with CT and Adam. This begins a huge fight between Kenny (Fresh Meat), Wes (Austin) and Johnny (Key West), Tyler (Key West). Wes is able to manipulate the votes by lobbying for his team during the vote. Johnny and Tyler are sent to the Jungle.

Later on, Tyler sets his sights on both Paula and Mike. Furious that these two teams set the tone, and voted for Johnny and Tyler to go to the Jungle, he calls them out on it. Unfortunately, Paula shuts him down, saying that she had felt closer to Kenny, even though Paula and Tyler were on the same season. Leroy also is quick to defend Mike, telling Tyler that had it been the Rookies in the Jungle, no one would have raised any concern.

We do not get to see the final Jungle this week, but it's a tackling mission that we've been teased with all season. The episode instead ends with Kenny, Wes, and Johnny attempting to break Adam's (Paris) confidence before going into the Jungle. We are left with a cliffhanger as CT comes to Adam's defense.
