Find out who was sent home in episode 6, “Brave New World.”
So who came out victorious and who’s now in trouble?
When a player correctly solves a math equation, they add more weight for their opponent to hold up.

Whoever drops the weight first is out.
After the horn blows, both men get their first equations wrong.
They eventually find their groove, however, with weight being added to both Kaycee and Zara.

After a few rounds, Zara starts to really struggle, her arms visibly shaking.
She calls out to Wes, and a few moments later drops her weights and loses the challenge.
It’s a quick defeat.

It’s very likely he would’ve outlasted Kaycee even if no extra weight was added to her.
This is what we call beautiful mess, people!
The team with the fastest time wins, so the more bars cleared on the launch, the better.
Emily and Yes on ‘The Challenge: World Championship’.Jonne Roriz/Paramount+
Jordan and Kaz go first, and she clears all three bars.
Jordan swims out to help bring her to shore, and they finish strong together.
Tristan and KellyAnne go next, and she also clears three bars.
Grant and Jonna on ‘The Challenge: World Championship’.Jonne Roriz/Paramount+
Ben and Kaycee go next and clear three bars.
She just kind of falls into the water as he slides off.
After they finish, Grant gets taken to the hospital in an ambulance to get his knee checked out.
Neither is a good option.
Bananas is impressed by his partner for the first time this season.
She’s an absolute machine!
Since KellyAnne and Tristan had the better time, they win.
From the bottom to the top, and on a week where Jonna’s in the elimination?
That’s almost too perfect.
Bananas worms his way in and tries to strong-arm the conversation, which pisses off Danny and Sarah.
Sarah provokes Bananas and things devolve quickly from there, causing Bananas to just get up and leave.
There’s very little love lost between the Team U.S. legends and MVPs.
They also vote for Theo and Sarah.
Tori tries to hold her vote until the end, but Theo calls her out.
Danny jumps in and a massive fight ensues.
Come on, people.
The votes come down to Jodi and Benja and Yes and Emily.
Upstairs, Jonna tells KellyAnne and Tristan that Grant won’t want to go against Emily, his No.
Plus, it all depends on if Grant can even continue on in the game with his injury.
Still, props to Jonna for having the balls to suggest that to KellyAnne.
You have to respect her for trying.
Some bad news: Grant comes hobbling in on crutches.
The writing is on the wall but TJ says it anyways Grant is medically unable to continue this season.
With that, Jonna’s winning streak comes to an end.
It’s a true tragedy, as she had a real shot at a three-peat!
But you know what?
At least we’re finally back to a normal structure for next week’s episode.
Give me a challenge and elimination in every episode.
No more unnecessary cliffhangers!
