Find out what happened in episode 5, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
Any longtime fan ofThe Challengeknows that you do not want to tie the vote.
For aChallengechamp, that is such a rookie mistake!

Let’s recap how we got to that messy point, shall we?
If it doesn’t, they’re not long for this world (championship).
Team UK wants to use that crack in Team Australia’s loyalty to their own advantage.

Aw, that’s amazing.
He’s already admitting he wants to play “selfish” to win.
The Challenge: Flying Around
This challenge looks fun!

The team who deposits the most rings in the bin wins.
Simple enough… so why not add in a little eating component, too?
I never thought we’d see that happen.
Danny and Tori of Team USA.Jonne Roriz / Paramount +
The first heat is Wes/Zara, Grant/Jonna, Bananas/Justine, and KellyAnne/Tristan.
The other three teams finish their smoothies without puking and the challenge begins.
Wes and Zara really struggle, and only get two rings total out of the 50 possible attempts.

With their penalty, they finish with negative three points.
If every other team finishes their smoothies, Wes and Zara are guaranteed to go into elimination.
Their strategy did not pay off here.
The second heat is Theo/Sarah, Yes/Emily, Kaycee/Ben, and Jodi/Benja.
Amber and Troy ultimately get a seven-point deduction since she doesn’t finish the smoothieandpukes some of it up.
Wes and Zara are the official losers, so they’re going straight into elimination.
For some reason, Grant volunteers himself and Jonna to be the burn vote.
And Danny is going to have to convince Tori to target Jordan, which is next to impossible.
All this politicking is getting messy, and I’m loving every second of it.
Outside, Jodi and KellyAnne have a meeting to discuss their options.
Plus, KellyAnne is still ready to get revenge on Jonna.
Nominations
Grant kicks off the votes by saying Jordan/Kaz and Sarah/Theo.
Jordan/Kaz throw it right back on Jonna/Grant as well as Yes/Emily, with KellyAnne/Tristan voting the same.
Ben’s officially siding with the legends.Interesting.
The vote gets tied between Jordan/Kaz and Yes/Emily, so of course Tori/Danny have to cast the deciding one.
Tori’s pissed, and chaos erupts since no one knows what’s going to happen.
Burning is one thing, but burning to force a tie is just stupid!
What is Danny thinking?!
Kiki and Troy are pissed at Emily and Grant trying to control their game and not working with them.
Team USA’s MVPs are pissed at Ben for switching over to the legends' side.
Everyone is mad at everyone, and no one trusts anyone.
It’s theWorld Championship,baby!
The fact that this is so unpredictable is exciting.
“For some reason, I don’t have two teams here,” he says to the cast.
Okay, so that’s not too bad.
Producers,pleasestop doing that!
