Who was sent home in episode 3, “Declarations of Independence?”

I’m disappointed and excited all at the same time!

Even though Tyson and Angela are no longer partners, they haven’t stopped working together.

There’s already trouble brewing!

The Challenge: Hang On Man

As TJ describes, this is basically theChallengeversion of hangman.

Partners run to grab individual stairs one at a time to build a full staircase at their station.

Whoever guesses the phrase first wins.

Derek gets frustrated because Shan isn’t doing that at all, which is making more work for him.

Leo letting Justine try and hold it just doesn’t make any sense!

She can barely hold the rod without any sand bags on it!

Meanwhile Ben is a hugeWheel of Fortunefan so he knows RSTLNE are the best letters to go for first.

But Kyland reaches Angela before Ben gets back, so Kyland and Angela win.

Wow, these show alliances really are dissolving fast!

There’s no loyalty here.

Meanwhile James tells Leo he wants to go against him, and that shocks and devastates Leo.

Cayla doesn’t understand what James is doing, andThe Amazing Racealliance is officially done.

That really didn’t take long, huh?

That’s certainly an interesting strategy, let’s see how it plays out for them moving forward.

Elimination challenge:Plug and Play.

The first team to stack all 14 blocks wins.

It’s a super close call but they win.

And with James gone,The Amazing Racealums are down to two.

Challenger of the week:Angela and Kyland for absolutely beasting this week’s challenge.

They definitely made a formidable pair!

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