Who was eliminated in episode 5, “Old Tina Can’t Come to the Phone”?
I’m really sad that we’re heading into the final stretch of episodes already.
After the slow march towards theSpies, Lies, and Alliesfinale, this season went by way too fast!
Jesus Paz/Paramount+
But here we are at episode 5, andAll Stars 2continues to deliver.
They also solidify Steve in their alliance for the sole reason that he has no one else.
She breaks down in tears and admits that tomorrow’s daily challenge is going to be rough for her.
Jesus Paz/Paramount+
The man and woman with the fastest times win, and the slowest go straight into elimination.
Tyler and Casey go first.
They’re being really nice!
Jesus Paz/Paramount+
But she just quits.
Teck calls for a check on his equations but can’t get it right.
He keeps switching the numbers and ends up getting it right, but he screams “F—!
Jesus Paz/Paramount+
“, throws his helmet and life vest and storms off, knowing he lost a lot of time.
Eventually, Jonna gets hers right, too.
The piece drifts really far away, making his last swim take even longer.

He eventually finishes while Melinda struggles after her second fall into the water, gasping for air.
She comes crawling onshore and the medics rush over and carry her to the ambulance.
Jasmine also starts to struggle after a bad fall, but she continues on and ends up finishing strong.
She even gets a standing ovation from TJ!
As the sun sets (a rarity to see a challenge go into the night!
That’s complete BS.
Casey flat-out quit and should be the one immediately going in, not Melinda!
Steve was the worst guy, so he’s also going in.
As for the winners?
Jodi won for the women (again), while Darrell just barely beat Brad.
It’s a risk!
What if the Three Kings put in political work and Tyler gets voted in?
Thank god for Darrell responding, “Same thing that happened to her,” and pointing to Jodi.
Brad says that he’s not going to use his Life Shield and he respects their move.
Ayanna saves herself and they swap in Casey’s name, but now Ayanna is pissed.
And Tina’s pissed because she knows Jodi took a personal shot at her.
Melinda’s crying because of the way she ended up in elimination.
This is getting messy!
He won’t say anything else because he’s pissed that Steve wants him as his opponent.
As Teck and Tina get voted in, they both get fired up.
Everyone wants to see Steve lose.
In the kitchen, Tina’s on one.
She calls out Jodi before walking out of the room, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
That didn’t take long!
Only one rough moment and she’s right back to Mean Girl Tina.
But Jasmine gets the true mic drop: “I’m too old for this s—.”
Elimination
Elimination challenge:Switch Back.
This is the first elimination all season that’s purely physical since it’s just all speed and endurance.
The men go first.
After the first light is switched, Teck runs right into Steve and knocks him to the ground.
Yes to physical contact!
Steve gets Teck right back and knocks him down on their second collision.
Teck jumps for it, beating Steve and sending him home.
Teck finally got his first elimination win!
He’s over the moon, both for sending Steve home and getting that sweet taste of elimination victory.
What is happening?!
Melinda runs through the full elimination, but she’s clearly upset that Tina didn’t even try.
Melinda, of course, wins, and everyone’s shocked to see how Tina gave up.
We all know how TJ feels about quitters, but oh well.
Something tells me that’s going to end in disaster for them.
I can’t wait to see it all blow up!
Challenger of the week:Teck for getting revenge on Steve while also getting his first elimination win.
It took more than two decades, but it finally happened!
