Who was eliminated in episode 2, “All That you’re free to’t Leave Behind?”

The first female in the water is sent straight into elimination.
Trishelle says while laughing).
Trishelle ends up being the first one out, meaning she’s going straight into elimination.

Katie hit her face on the water again (“You f—ers!")
and came out with a bloody nose.
It’s very impressive!

But Aneesa eventually wins, making her safe from the first female elimination.
Not a very good strategic move but I’m here for the drama that’s about to go down.
She’s super nervous and gets flustered and it’s honestly a really pathetic showing.

I expected a lot more from Kendal, and so did the rest of the players.
They all vote her into elimination.
Things get explosive later that night when both women start screaming at each other.
I definitely see some of the old Katie and old Trishelle come out to play here.
Eventually, it devolves into name calling (from Trishelle) and threats (from Katie).
Elimination
Walking into The Arena, things are still tense between Katie and Trishelle.
Elimination challenge:Knot So Fast.
AnotherChallengeclassic, this time more endurance and strategy based than purely physical.
Whoever finishes first, wins.
The ropes just look all messy and not that knotted up.
Kendal eventually wins and sends Trishelle home.
We bow down to one of the original reality TV queens.
All Star of the week:Aneesa for absolutely dominating the trivia challenge.
