Tina, you in danger, girl!
Let’s recap, shall we?

It’s much too serious, too soon.
These are the kinds ofChallengepranks I love because they’re all in good spirit and not actually bullying anyone.
Even Ryan’s laughing and he’s naked in the pool!

But her good-natured fun doesn’t last long.
And inside, things are taking a turn.
Ayanna braided Sophia’s hair and Sophia didn’t like how it turned out.

Both women feel upset about how the situation escalated and things get emotional.
But it’s time for everyone to get their game faces on.
Things shake out in a very interesting way.

It’s obvious the Black team has all the brawn (and male champs!)
so Green is feeling appropriately nervous.
As for the challenge, it’s a solid mix of brains and brawn.

The team to finish both puzzles and pull the lever at the top first wins.
Everyone’s frustration with her is already palpable.
Let’s find out which plan is better!
But after a while, Black starts to pull ahead by a full piece.
Eventually, Black gets all 11 pieces and starts on the bottom puzzle.
But when Green finally catches up to start on the first puzzle, it all gets equalized.
The heat starts to get to everyone and the yelling begins.
But something is working because Black finishes the first puzzle while Green is nowhere near close.
But thanks to their early lead, Black finishes the second puzzle and wins.
Back at the house, Darrell and Tina now have to pick four people to nominate for elimination.
So then she takes Steve’s name off the board which deflates Darrell’s whole plan.
The look on his face is pure shock and regret.
Tina pulled a fast one on him and made sure all of Darrell’s allies got picked.
Everyone is absolutely shocked to see Cohutta, MJ, Jodi, and Jonna on the board.
Cohutta puts it perfectly: “Well, s—.”
Tina’s stubbornness just screwed over Darrell because his entire room alliance is now pissed at him.
Ryan says his best shot is against Cohutta.
Sophia starts to cry.
How did Tina get exactly what she wanted against Darrell, a four-time champ?!
The manipulation queen’s still got it.
So the one person he didn’t want to go against this season is Ryan.
Jonna is relieved, thinking this means she’s spared now.
And she’s right because basically the entire house votes in Jodi against Sophia and Cohutta against Ryan.
She’s fired up and seeing red, which is not great for Tina.
Elimination
Elimination challenge:Fire Ball.
The first person to win two rounds wins the whole thing.
And when Ryan trips, it gives Cohutta even more time to succeed in his plan.
Then it’s time for the women.
Jodi drops her first ball, giving Sophia the opening to take the middle spot.
But even though Sophia’s fast, Jodi ends up winning the first round.
It’s another split-second mistake and it costs Sophia the win and gives Jodi her first ever elimination win.
And that’s really bad news for Tina who has now made a ton of new enemies.
