Who was sent home in episode 9, “Nevertheless, She Persisted?”

That means this week is guaranteed to be a female elimination, which has Cashay nervous.

She still has a lot to prove but she’s talking like she’s the clear favorite to win.

Maybe qualify for the final first before you go around talking a bunch of smack?

Back at the house, even Ben admits he has no idea what Sarah’s doing right now.

The Fab Five’s safety isn’t as guaranteed as they may think.

Since the challenge is taking place in a football stadium, the former NFL player feels right at home.

But will that home field advantage be enough to finally get him that win?

With the element of sabotage, this game can and will get messy.

Sarah tries to get help from Justine, but she’s focusing on her own board.

And Desi isn’t alone literally no one is listening to Sarah.

Love to see thisSurvivordomination!

Especially for twoSurvivorplayers who are genuinely good people and play with integrity.

But he’s also not worried about Danny’s threat level in the finals.

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to run against Danny in a final!

Angela, as her elimination opponent.

It’s getting more and more entertaining to see how un-self-aware she is.

Danny tells her to put her emotions aside and pick someone that ensures that she’ll come back.

And this clearly shows the flaw in Sarah’s gameplay, because her ego overpowers her logic.

Cashayisthe best option for Sarah to win against, and yet she won’t even consider it.

Now Danny has to do damage control to protect his lie from being exposed.

He goes to Dom and admits he told Desi about the plan.

Meanwhile, Desi promises Sarah she’s on her side, “100 percent.”

Let’s add alcohol to the mix!

She also makes a super immature face at Alyssa after she turns her back.

Sarah, come on.

This is not a good look.

Not sure that’s the smartest way to play this, but okay.

It’s such a horrible display of political and social gameplay that I literally laughed out loud.

He even brainstorms with Dom on what the consequences could be an hour before they leave for the Arena.

This is getting down to the wire!

Sarah is no longer smirking, but I certainly am.

Elimination challenge:In a Roll.

The first one to make the ball fall twice wins.

She gets the second point and wins, sending Cashay home.

The alliance messiness is at an all-time high, and I’m loving every second of it.

The Challenge: USAairs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
