I never thought we’d see Pole Wrestle onThe Challenge: All Stars 3.

For one thing, these players are decades older than when they last wrestled for that little pole!
And for another, most eliminations have had some kind of puzzle equalizer.
Could we be any luckier?

Afterlast week’s elimination upset, Derrick is thrilled his No.
They’re also the only guys with four stars in this game.
The future is looking bright for the old guys!

It’s good advice, but is it enough?
She broke her big toe, and because of that she’s medically unfit to continue.
TJ apologizes while she tears up, and he basically begs her to come back in the future.

They’re both amped about their performances, though.
Derrick and Kailah go next, and Derrick finishes first while Kailah struggles with remembering the right colors.
Wes and Jonna go next, and Jonna gets dropped really far from her puzzle station.
Nia and Brad are next, and Nia freaks out before the helicopter even takes off.
Brad tries his best to talk her down and convinces her to give it a shot!
Nia takes a while to lean out, saying she can’t do it and officially giving up.
At least she got in the helicopter?
But this close to the final, DQing yourself is a big mistake that might cost her everything.
Nehemiah goes last, and he claims he hasn’t been winning challenges on purpose this season.
TJ says only two guys got the puzzle right: Mark and Derrick.
Derrick is continuing to do well with puzzles this season?
Who would have thought?!
But Mark got it done faster, so he wins for the guys.
Then TJ reveals that, once again, only two women got the puzzle right: Jonna and KellyAnne.
Plus she gets Veronica’s star.
Not a bad week for Jonna!
Elsewhere in the house, Derrick meets with Mark and Brad to talk about the same thing.
And Mark is trying to convince Derrick of the same plan Wes was coming up with!
Wow, I did not thinkthatwould happen.
Who does he call?
This rivalry-turned-alliance-turned-friendship is still going strong!
There’s no need to be mean!
So now Jonna basically has permission from all three women to throw them in.
These stars are getting everyone rattled because almost everyone wants to go into elimination now.
And Jonna tells Mark how all three women want to go into elimination.
They make their decision: Kailah and Derrick.
It’s a bad week for that alliance.
And Wes is pissed that he didn’t get what he wanted, so he sulks away.
“Is that a pole?
Is it f—ing Pole Wrestle?!”
Kailah says in a panic.
Derrick says he fully intends on “kicking his ass tonight,” so we might get that rematch!
Kailah chooses KellyAnne (!)
This could be a long fight between them.
It’s the smart choice for him, butsuperboring.
Wes is even more pissed and just keeps saying, “F— him up.
He’s not going to have a family to go back to.
F— him up,” over and over to Nehemiah.
This is going to be good.
Elimination challenge:Light My Fire.
It’s Pole Wrestle, but whoever gets the pole away has one more step.
The guys go first, and they erupt in a violent wrestling match.
This is an absolute dogfight from the very first second, with hard hits and bodies flying everywhere.
But we don’t find out who wins, because the episode ends on a cliffhanger.
I can’t wait a full week to find out what happens here!
