Who was sent home in episode 8, “Independence Day?”
Some players are obviously more psyched than others about this twist, but shockingly Tyson is now worried.
Now, if you’re only watching these episodes, that doesn’t sound too shocking.

The fastest overall time wins, and the slowest goes straight into elimination.
But there’s a twist this week, all the women are safe.
The slowest guy will head to elimination, and the fastest man and woman will pick his opponent.

But wait, there’s more!
This challenge could have been so much better!
That’s so lame!

Ben finishes fast, and Enzo takes his time and finishes later.
In the second round, those four swap, so Sarah and Cayla run while Ben and Enzo spray.
Meanwhile, Sarah completes the run with no issues.Greatttt.

Next up is Tyson and Dom, with Angela and Cashay as the sprayers.
Once again, the matchups for sprayers/runners is BORING.
They both finish, with Tyson in the running for first place.
Angela’s won multiple challenges and has proven to be the best female competitor this season so far.
That makes zero sense.
Sarah, your jealousy is showing.
The next round is David and Danny running, with Justine and Alyssa spraying.
Of course we get our weekly Kiki shout-out, and there’s absolutely no spraying once again.
Danny beats David by a few seconds, and then they swap.
Alyssa catches up and ultimately beats her.
They swap, but Desi slides right off into the water, immediately DQing herself.
Enzo was the slowest male and is going straight into elimination.
On the women’s side, Angela was the ultimate winner (again!).
And the top two men (separated by only two seconds) were … Ben and Leo!
Wow.No onesaw that coming.
Back at the house, Enzo’s all stitched up and meets with Ben and Angela.
Now, it’s time for a night out!
Apparently these have happened every week, and we just never see them in the episodes.
This time, everyone toasts to Ben’s fallen friend.
this idea so quickly, since Enzo is supposedly one of her closest allies.
She also doesn’t even consider how Enzo would feel about it.
So Ben and Angela pickLeoinstead.
Angela throws some incredible shade by saying that Sarah should focus on winning challenges instead.
It’s clear that there’s no love lost between these two women.
I smell a futureRivalspair!
Elimination challenge:Hall Brawl.
If you’re new toThe Challengeuniverse, this is the ultimate headbanger.
Collisions are guaranteed, and this can (and will) get brutal.
And with Enzo’s clear size advantage over Leo, this could also end very quickly.
In the first round, the guys hit each other hard.
So that’s it he’s just gone.
What a horrible way to go out.
That’s not good sportsmanship, but whatever.
showcasing her strategic political expertise.
She really is the wholeChallengepackage.
