Pretty enjoyable, seems like a fun mode and considering one of my few complaints with both Arena and Frenzy are fixed by this mode for the most part, I can say that this will likely be one gamemode I come back to, but I do want other people to get a chance to play so I won't be joining another one today.

Okay so like, when you think about it, a dumpling implies the existence of a large dumple.

Have a good year

They kept having me stay to conduct more evaluations, but I'm finally out of the hospital, hope you all had a happy holiday season.

I'm in the hospital as I type this, I had been having the worst pain of my life and got on some painkillers, I ended up getting addicted and one thing led to another. All I can say is: Do not take drugs lightly, even Medically prescribed ones. That's all, have a nice day.

This season's format will be a modified version of The Inferno 2. But it'll be the Inferno 1 for this series. 2 teams of 10-14. If you'd like to be cast, pyn below, this will be like KTC 1, fully written episodes, elim orders and challenges. Format: two teams of 10-14, every episode will start with a daily thats just to see who gets money for their team bank account, then we will have nominations, a second challenge called the lifesaver challenge will take place, whomever wins the lifesaver can save someone. If you are in the Inferno, saving yourself means you pick who will go in, if you are not in the Inferno, saving the person in the Inferno means you will enter the Inferno. Finale will be about 10-12 episodes in. Winning team will earn 200k plus their bank account, losing team will only get the bank account. If you're ready to rumble in the jungle, apply for The Inferno 2 now.

Keith: "Previously on KTC: The Duel - The Blue Group targeted Coke as the strongest member of that group. After Coke failed to win the daily, Coke was sent in and called out TheBreeze, at the elimination, Coke slammed through the pole wrestle elimination, beating TheBreeze. At the second daily challenge, Yoon was in trouble and once again lost, with Yoon unshockingly headed into the elim, picks another strong player in Fiona and ends up winning another shocking Duel. 8 are left, who will make the final?" Daily Challenge: Sunken Treasure Competing in pairs consisting of one person from each group, pairs must work together from inside an oxygen cage under water. On either end of the water tank is a station, one an anchor with three combinations on it, the other a chest with three locks. One competitor must swim to the anchor to retrieve combinations while the other competitor must remember the given combinations to unlock each lock and open the chest which contains a soccer ball. Only one competitor may leave the oxygen cage at a time, and pairs have a maximum time of fifteen minutes, or the current fastest time, to complete the challenge. The pair whose soccer ball surfaces in the fastest time wins. Coke and Dakota finish third in 12:13. JessieJedi and Yoon finish second in 09:54. Josh and AngieKStan finish first in 08:57. AngieKStan wins a 2006 BMW motorcycle Josh wins safety and will begin the safety chain Safety Chain: Josh AngieKStan Rainolds Yoon DakotaMagic and JessieJedi are not selected and join the others Yoon: "I choose to save @Coke" @Sankey will be headed into the duel and calls out @Coke to battle. Josh and Rainolds bond strongly. JessieJedi and Sankey form an alliance, realizing they're both 4th in their current alliances. JessieJedi: "Something shady is going down and I'm getting to the bottom of it." The Duel: Ascender Both competitors start on the ground with both hands on the rope. They must make their way up the ropes, swing across the monkey bars, and release the basket holding his or her puzzle pieces. The pieces will free fall. The competitors must make their way back across the monkey bars, hit the rope, come back down, retrieve the puzzle pieces, and put the puzzles together. The first person to put the puzzle together wins the duel, and the loser is eliminated. GO! Coke gets up the rope and across the monkey bars Sankey gets up the rope and across the monkey bars Sankey drops the puzzle pieces Coke drops the puzzle pieces Coke makes it back across and goes down the rope Coke grabs the puzzle pieces Coke finishes the puzzle in record time # Air Horn @Coke wins the duel and an xbox series X @Sankey loses the duel and is eliminated, we'd love to see you back. Episode 14: Around the Block Competing in heats, with one person from the non-dueling group skipping the first heat, competitors will face-off against their own group. Suspended in the air on a rectangle truss, competitors will race in opposite directions while collecting flags on each respective side of the truss. Each flag is worth one point while a final flag, hanging from the top of the truss, is three points and retrieve it immediately ends the round. In total, there are seventeen flags. The winner of each final round wins. JessieJedi knocks Yoon off Rainolds knocks Josh off Dakota knocks AngieKStan off Coke knocks Rainolds off Dakota knocks JessieJedi off @Coke wins an IN72 InFocus projector. DakotaMagic wins safety and will begin the safety chain Safety Chain: DakotaMagic @Coke AngieKStan Rainolds Josh is not selected and joins the others Rainolds: "I select Yoon" JessieJedi will duel and calls out Yoon The Duel: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she win. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. Yoon bids 57 coffee bags! 1... 2... 3... 4... # AIR HORN 5! Yoon successfully lifts the coffee bags for five seconds. Yoon wins the Duel and a Seiko Watch JessieJedi loses the duel and is eliminated, we'd love to see you back.

Keith: "Welcome back to The Duel, last episode, Dakota and Coke once again won a daily challenge, but JessieJedi shocked the cast by saving TheBreeze over saving Space, a shot at the majority alliance. Back at the house, Josh began building more connections, eager to make it to the final. At the I Can Duel, Space was sent packing as Rainolds outsmarted them. At the episode 10 daily challenge, Rainolds was done dirty as Rainolds was the only player not selected to compete in the challenge. At the Dine N Dash challenge, Team 1 won and AngieKStan won safety while Sankey won a prize. In the end, Yoon was sent in as the big outcast of the pink group, but in a shocking turn, beat the dominant Luna in a pole wrestle. 10 are left, who will make it to the finale?" The Cast arrives at the house and parties about making it to the halfway point, everyone except for Yoon that is, who still feels socially isolated from the cast. Yoon: "I just don't understand these people, all they do is stick to a group that doesn't even benefit them." While this happens, Rainolds, TheBreeze, Sankey and Josh get to talking and collectively agree that despite the fact they all like Coke, Coke is just gonna continue dominating if they don't do something. Josh: "At the end of the day it's simple math, only 2 of us make it to the final from this group, I'm not looking to be 3rd or 4th, I want that final." At the Daily Challenge called Stacking Stairs Competing in pairs consisting of one person from each group, competitors must race to create a stair-like structure that is tall enough for them to retrieve a flag suspended in the air using crates on the far side of each designated lane. Pairs will compete in two rounds, with round one consisting of three pairs and the second round with the remaining two pairs. The first pair to finish in round one sets the time to beat in round two. The pair with the fastest time wins. Coke and Dakota set the tone by finishing in 5 minutes and 13 seconds. Every other pair can't beat it until the final pair goes: Yoon and Josh, who completely blow everyone out of the water, finishing in 4 minutes and 28 seconds. Yoon wins an NHL ultimate package Josh wins safety and begins the safety chain Safety Chain: Josh AngieKStan Rainolds Fiona @Sankey JessieJedi DakotaMagic and Yoon are not selected and join the others JessieJedi: "I'm choosing to select TheBreeze once again." Coke will duel and calls out TheBreeze, seeing TheBreeze as the weakest blue group member. Back at the house: Sankey and JessieJedi argue, leading to JessieJedi leaving the 3-person alliance of Fiona, JessieJedi and Sankey. Sankey: "JessieJedi just doesn't understand the game." AngieKStan, Dakota and JessieJedi form an alliance, deciding they want to be the top 3 for the pink group. Dakota: "When I signed off on this alliance, I had fingers crossed behind my back, I don't actually want to go to the end with these two but it's better if they think I do." The Duel: Pole Wrestle Both people fight tooth and nail, battling hard for that spot back into the game. Minutes pass and eventually Coke just starts slamming TheBreeze into the ground, trying to use strength to make TheBreeze give up. TheBreeze hangs on but is continually getting more and more injured by the slams and eventually let's go 4 minutes and 29 seconds in. #AIR HORN @Coke wins the duel and an Xbox Series X TheBreeze this ends your time on The Duel, we'd love to see you back. Episode 12: At the daily Challenge: ICEBREAKERS Competing one group at a time, competitors have five minutes to retrieve one ice block at a time from a central pile and return to their station where they will attempt to smash the ice through a grate and into a container with a sledgehammer. Whoever smashes the most ice from each group, as determined by weight, wins. Blue Group results: Rainolds doesn't waste energy on the challenge, only getting 1 pound of ice - 4th Sankey finishes with 8 pounds of ice - 3rd Josh finishes with 14 pounds of ice - 2nd Coke wins with 21 pounds of ice - 1st Pink Group results: JessieJedi is 5th with 4.9 pounds Yoon is 4th with 7.7 pounds Dakota is 3rd with 10 pounds Fiona is second with 15.7 pounds AngieKStan is first with a whopping 32 pounds of ice @Coke wins the calloway golf clubs and a free lesson AngieKStan wins safety and must begin the safety chain Safety Chain: AngieKStan Rainolds Fiona @Sankey JessieJedi Josh @Coke is not selected and joins the others begrudgingly Josh: "I'm sorry Yoon, but I select DakotaMagic" Yoon is headed back into the duel. Yoon: "I select Fiona" Back at the house: Rainolds and Sankey bond Fiona and Yoon get into a massive fight. Yoon: "Fiona doesn't intimidate me, I'm not gonna be pushed around." The Duel: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she win. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. Fiona bids 43 coffee bags! Yoon tells Fiona to pick them up then. 1... 2... # FIONA DROPS Fiona fails to lift the coffee bags for five seconds. Yoon wins a second duel this season and a Seiko Watch Fiona loses this duel and is eliminated from The Duel, we'd love to see you back. Remaining players: Blue Group: @Coke Josh Rainolds @Sankey Pink Group: AngieKStan DakotaMagic JessieJedi Yoon Eliminated thus far: 20th: PosterBoy eliminated by @Sankey in Ascender 19th: Sobriquet eliminated by KitKat2921 in Push Me 18th: Connor eliminated by MessyJ in I Can 17th: KitKat2921 eliminated by JessieJedi in I Can 16th: MessyJ eliminated by Space in I Can 15th: Kemi eliminated by Luna in Pole Wrestle 14th: Idolize eliminated by TheBreeze in Pole Wrestle 13th: KittyCupcake123 eliminated by DakotaMagic in Ascender 12th: Space eliminated by Rainolds in I Can 11th: Luna eliminated by Yoon in Pole Wrestle 10th: TheBreeze eliminated by @Coke in Pole Wrestle 9th: Fiona eliminated by Yoon in I Can

Keith: "Previously on The Challenge, tensions rose between TheBreeze and the rest of the blue group, at the Throwback daily challenge: Coke and Luna dominated, earning safety and a prize. At the selection process, Space started to become less of a priority for the majority, but TheBreeze was sent in, who called out Idolize. At the Pole Wrestle challenge, TheBreeze sent Idolize packing. After that, the rivalry between Dakota and KittyCupcake continued to be kept alive, at the daily challenge, Coke and AngieKStan beat Josh and Dakota to win safety and a prize, at the safety chain, Space's bond with Yoon saved Yoon as KittyCupcake was sent in, who called out Dakota to settle the rivalry. And settle it they did as Dakota won the Ascender duel, sending KittyCupcake packing. 12 are left, who will lose the duel today?" Episode 9 opens with the cast coming back from the Dakota Duel win. Dakota: "Good riddance to KittyCupcake, not that her staying would matter regardless, I'm the best here, sign the check for me now." Yoon began to feel more isolated than ever as Yoon was the only person on Pink Group without a tie to the majority alliance. TheBreeze began to repair relationships with the blue group and pink group, earning him some social capital. At the Pole Dance challenge: In two teams of six, consisting of three people from each group, competitors must work together to retrieve a flag attached to the top of their respective pole, both of which are lathered in grease. The first to team to have their flag proceeds with the challenge. The remaining six competitors will race across sand dunes, a water pit, and multiple tarps that have been greased. At the end of the race is one flag for each group. The first person from each group to grab their flag wins. Team 1 is Coke, Dakota, Fiona, Josh, Luna and Rainolds Team 2 is AngieKStan, JessieJedi, Sankey, Space, TheBreeze and Yoon During part 1 of the challenge, Yoon continually messes up for team 2, costing them the win and making Yoon even more of a pariah. Yoon: "At this point I know I'm likely going in, and I'm the smallest person left here, I'm not built to outmuscle these people." At Part 2 of the challenge, Coke dominates while Luna and Dakota battle for the win with Dakota coming out on top. DakotaMagic wins a kicker complete audio system. Coke wins safety and must begin the selection process. Safety Chain: @Coke DakotaMagic Josh AngieKStan Rainolds Fiona @Sankey JessieJedi Luna and Yoon are not selected and join the others. Bottom 2: TheBreeze and Space JessieJedi: "I choose TheBreeze" Blue group is shocked that TheBreeze is not going into tonight's elimination. Space: "I call out Rainolds I mean let's be real, Rainolds is the weakest left." Rainolds: "We'll find out who's the weakest at the Duel." Back at the house, Dakota and Josh bond strongly and form a duo. Josh: "Dakota's ruthless, I respect it." Josh also bonds with Rainolds and tells Rainolds to "kick Space's ass tonight." JessieJedi leaves the alliance with Rainolds and Fiona in it. The Duel: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she win. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. Space bids 37 coffee bags! Rainolds calls Space to lift it. 1... 2... 3... 4... # Space Drops Space fails to lift the coffee bags for five seconds. Rainolds wins the duel and a Seiko watch. Space, you have been eliminated from The Duel, we'd love to see you back. Episode 10: The Challenge is Dine-N-Dash In two teams of five, consisting of three people from the dueling group and two from the other group, everybody is individually weighed except for the person who is not picked for either team. After being weighed, competitors have twenty minutes to eat as much food as possible from an array of local foods. The team with the most weight gained continues with the challenge. The remaining five competitors must race to collect ten flags, each on separate poles that are sequentially further and further away. Competitors must run to the closest pole to grab a flag, return it to their basket, then run to the next closest pole, and so on. The first person from each group to collect all ten flags wins. Rainolds isn't picked and doesn't get to participate. Rainolds: "What a load of bull, I deserve to play in this challenge and they just won't even let me try." Team 1: AngieKStan, Fiona, JessieJedi, Sankey and TheBreeze Team 2: Coke, Dakota, Josh, Luna and Yoon Team 1 wins, doubling team 2's kilograms. At Part 2, TheBreeze takes an early lead but gasses out as Sankey does a better job at energy management, pulling ahead in the last half to win the prize. AngieKStan dominates for the pink group, winning safety. Sankey wins an NHL ultimate package. AngieKStan wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain AngieKStan Rainolds Fiona @Sankey JessieJedi Josh DakotaMagic @Coke TheBreeze is not selected and joins the others Bottom 2: Luna and Yoon Coke: "I select Luna, you gotta earn your stripes Yoon." Yoon is annoyed and going into the Duel, so Yoon goes for a hail mary. Yoon: "I choose to call out Luna." The cast is shocked that Yoon would pick debatably the strongest pink group member. Nothing much happens back at the house. At The Duel: Pole Wrestle Both competitors start on their knees. They try as hard as they can to wrestle the pole out of the other’s hands. Whoever lets go first loses the duel and is eliminated. The other wins. GO! Luna immediately tries to outmuscle Yoon, but Yoon comes up with a better strategy to get a better grip and while Luna keeps tugging on the pole, Yoon waits for the right time when Luna pulls back and yanks it away, winning in 50 seconds. The cast is shocked to see Yoon actually win the Duel. Yoon: "YEAH, HOWS THAT TASTE?" Yoon flips off the cast Yoon wins the duel and an Xbox Series X Luna, you have been eliminated from The Duel, we'd love to see you back for another season. People Remaining: Blue Group: @Coke Josh Rainolds @Sankey TheBreeze Pink Group: AngieKStan DakotaMagic Fiona JessieJedi Yoon Eliminated: 20th: PosterBoy eliminated by @Sankey in Ascender 19th: Sobriquet eliminated by KitKat2921 in Push Me 18th: Connor eliminated by MessyJ in I Can 17th: KitKat2921 eliminated by JessieJedi in I Can 16th: MessyJ eliminated by Space in I Can 15th: Kemi eliminated by Luna in Pole Wrestle 14th: Idolize eliminated by TheBreeze in Pole Wrestle 13th: KittyCupcake123 eliminated by DakotaMagic in Ascender 12th: Space eliminated by Rainolds in I Can 11th: Luna eliminated by Yoon in Pole Wrestle

Keith: "Previously on Keith's The Challenge: MessyJ continued to be outcasted along with Sankey and TheBreeze. While for the pink group, Kemi began to want to play the game more as the game was getting deeper in, only for the cast to be turned off by Kemi's comments and demeanor. At the Daily Challenge, Luna beat Kemi to win for pink while on blue, Coke smoked the competition. The final pick came down to TheBreeze and MessyJ, but with MessyJ having no allies left after KitKat left, MessyJ was thrown into a second duel and called out Space, wanting to face someone strong to hopefully make people not want to go against him. At the I Can duel, MessyJ overestimated his abilities and unfortunately fell short, giving Space the Duel win. At the next daily challenge, KittyCupcake, one of the social pariahs of Pink won a clutch challenge to once again avoid being the target. Kemi was sent into the duel and called out Luna and at Pole Wrestle, both Kemi and Luna put up insanely strong fights, but Kemi was the one sent packing after Luna got the upper hand." At the Challenge house, Sankey and TheBreeze got into it, arguing over who should go in with Sankey still saying TheBreeze should go into elim since both Sankey and MessyJ had gone in whereas TheBreeze got a free pass. TheBreeze: "Sankey's logic makes no sense, why should I go in if people don't mind me, you're the one they're annoyed by." Despite Sankey's arguments, a lot of the blue group still want Sankey to go in. For the Pink Group, Dakota continues to put on the victim act and KittyCupcake just continues to give Dakota ammo to work with. Dakota: "It's too easy to get KittyCupcake to fall for my ragebaiting." KittyCupcake123: "If I get a chance to go against Dakota, I'm taking it." Daily Challenge: Throwback Competing in pairs consisting of one person from each group, pairs will have to launch one another from a Russian swing into a marked lane of water. The launched competitor must then retrieve a soccer ball on the far side of the lane and return to the start, placing the ball in a ring. If the ball leaves the marked lane, the pair is disqualified. The pair with the fastest combined time wins. The most recent Duel winner, Luna, will decide the turn order. Every pair completes the challenge, so it comes down to time. But we have a tie between 3rd and 2nd so in a tie for 2nd place with 57 seconds each are: TheBreeze and JessieJedi and Space and Dakota In 1st place, winning this daily are @Coke and Luna with 53 seconds. Luna wins an IN72 InFocus projector. Coke wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain: @Coke DakotaMagic Josh Luna Idolize JessieJedi Rainolds KittyCupcake123 But Kitty breaks the alliance's trust and picks @Sankey Fiona AngieKStan and Yoon are not selected Bottom 2: Space and TheBreeze Fiona: "I select Space." TheBreeze will duel TheBreeze: "Despite my arguments with some people here, I'm picking the weakest person left: Idolize" Back at the house: Rainolds and Yoon bond strongly and form a duo. Rainolds: "I honestly didn't think Yoon would be an ally to me, but getting to know Yoon, they definitely don't deserve to be left at the bottom of every safety chain." Coke and KittyCupcake lock in with eachother KittyCupcake123: "Coke is probably my best friend out here aside from Luna, I really hope we can both stay for a while." The Duel: Pole Wrestle Both competitors start on their knees. They try as hard as they can to wrestle the pole out of the other’s hands. Whoever lets go first loses the duel and is eliminated. The other wins. Both of them take off, Idolize starting by instantly playing aggressively, trying to rip it from TheBreeze before TheBreeze gets a good grip on it, but this only tires Idolize out, and once TheBreeze sees that, TheBreeze plays aggressively, minutes pass, 1, 2, 3 until finally... # AIR HORN TheBreeze rips it out of Idolize's hands. TheBreeze wins the duel and an xbox series X Idolize you have been eliminated from The Duel, we'd love to see you back. Episode 8: TheBreeze picks another fight with Sankey over earning his stripes, this time Josh steps in and tells TheBreeze to knock it the hell off since he's been complaining the whole time about one comment Sankey made. Josh: "I don't get why TheBreeze is letting Sankey get to him like that." Daily Challenge: Rafty Race Competitors must race from checkpoint to checkpoint while avoiding elimination by not falling behind. On go, competitors will run to a row of air pumps, while wearing swimming fins, and remove the tag attached in order to claim it and proceed. There are only five air pumps for each group. Next, competitors will race to a row of deflated dinghies where they will remove another tag to claim one and continue. There are only four dinghies for each group. From there, remaining competitors will inflate their dinghies to their liking and swim out to the next checkpoint, on their dinghies, and retrieve an oar. There are only three oars for each group. Then, the last six will paddle to another checkpoint on the water to grab one of four keys, two for each group. Finally, competitors race back to shore where they will unlock one of four chests containing a flag then race to the starting line. The first person in each group to cross the finish line with their flag wins. The challenge starts! Josh gets the first air pump for blue Space gets the second AngieKStan gets the first air pump for pink Luna gets the second Dakota gets the third Josh gets the first Dinghy Coke claims the third Josh gets the first oar Dakota gets the first dinghy Josh gets the first key AngieKStan gets the second dinghy KittyCupcake gets the fourth air pump Sankey gets the fourth air pump Coke gets the second dinghy JessieJedi gets the fifth and final air pump, Yoon and Fiona are out.

AngieKStan gets the first oar JessieJedi gets the third dinghy Coke claims the second oar AngieKStan gets the first key AngieKStan gets across the finish line with the Key and unlocks the box, winning for Pink Group Coke claims the second key and catches up to Josh Josh and Coke race down the beach to the finish line but at the chest, Coke unlocks it 4 seconds faster. # Air Horn Coke wins a Torch Freestyle kite and new shift kit and also a Haze performance kiteboard and waist harness. AngieKStan wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain: AngieKStan Rainolds JessieJedi @Sankey Fiona Josh Luna @Coke DakotaMagic Space TheBreeze is not selected and joins the others Bottom 2: Yoon and KittyCupcake Space: "I select Yoon" @KittyCupcake will duel KittyCupcake: "I've been waiting all season to do this, I call out DakotaMagic." Dakota happily walks over. Dakota: "So have I." Back at the house Josh and TheBreeze get into another fight and have to be separated. TheBreeze: "Josh hasn't faced any hardship this season, what the hell does Josh know?" Sankey and JessieJedi bond The Duel: Ascender Both competitors start on the ground with both hands on the rope. They must make their way up the ropes, swing across the monkey bars, and release the basket holding his or her puzzle pieces. The pieces will free fall. The competitors must make their way back across the monkey bars, hit the rope, come back down, retrieve the puzzle pieces, and put the puzzles together. The first person to put the puzzle together wins the duel, and the loser is eliminated. 3... 2... 1... GO!

Dakota you are... CORRECT! DakotaMagic wins the Duel and a Seiko watch. KittyCupcake123 this ends your time on The Duel, I really hope we see you back again. Keith: "Next time on Keith's The Challenge, we have made it to basically the middle of the season, after a rift forms in the majority alliance, an unexpected matchup is brought into The Duel while for the other group, a powerhouse is sniped from the game, tune in next time for all these answers and more on Keith's The Challenge." Players Remaining: Blue Group: @Coke Josh Rainolds @Sankey Space TheBreeze Pink Group: AngieKStan DakotaMagic Fiona JessieJedi Luna Yoon Eliminated: 20th: PosterBoy eliminated by @Sankey in Ascender 19th: Sobriquet eliminated by KitKat2921 in Push Me 18th: Connor eliminated by MessyJ in I Can 17th: KitKat2921 eliminated by JessieJedi in I Can 16th: MessyJ eliminated by Space in I Can 15th: Kemi eliminated by Luna in Pole Wrestle 14th: Idolize eliminated by TheBreeze in Pole Wrestle 13th: KittyCupcake123 eliminated by DakotaMagic in Ascender

Keith: "Last time on KTC: The Duel. The cast was still dealing with the events of the premiere, with pink group divided as KitKat was now the social pariah of the group, even after winning a duel. MessyJ and KitKat formed an unlikely alliance. At the challenge, Dakota and Space out speeded the competition, gaining safety and a prize. The picks came down to Sankey and MessyJ but MessyJ was the one headed into the duel and due to a prior fight over food, MessyJ called out Connor. At the I Can Duel, Connor underestimated MessyJ, with MessyJ winning the duel. Then on the pink group's Duel day, Josh won for the blue team while Dakota won safety, leading us to MessyJ getting last pick between KitKat and JessieJedi, he chose KitKat, only for JessieJedi to call out KitKat, leading to KitKat once again facing The Duel. At The Duel, JessieJedi got KitKat to overbid and overestimate their abilities, leading to KitKat getting eliminated." The cast arrives back at the house. MessyJ continues to fight with people as he criticizes the pink group for outcasting KitKat over a game move. This only continues to make MessyJ the pariah of the blue group. MessyJ: "I know that it's win or go in at this point, I'm not afraid." At the Daily Challenge: Push Over Competing in heats of randomly paired competitors of the same group, competitors must push one another off a small platform attached to a boat, like a plank, with their hands tied. Each match-up is determined by everybody drawing tokens and competitors of the same group with the same color token go head-to-head. After three rounds, the winner of each final round wins. Pink Group is competing for golf clubs and a private golfing club membership while Blue group is competing for safety. Pink Group: Luna and JessieJedi draw to go against eachother - Luna wins AngieKStan and DakotaMagic draw to go against eachother - AngieKStan wins Kemi and KittyCupcake draw to go against eachother - Kemi wins Kemi: "I can't believe I knocked KittyCupcake off, I thought for sure I'd lose, I need to stop underestimating myself." Fiona and Yoon draw to go against eachother - Yoon wins Round 2: AngieKStan vs Luna - Luna wins Kemi vs Yoon - Kemi wins Final Round: Kemi vs Luna - Luna wins Kemi is annoyed to lose after doing so well. Blue Group: Rainolds vs TheBreeze - TheBreeze barely knocks Rainolds off TheBreeze: "Hopefully knocking off one of the biggest guys gives people less of a reason to call me out." Sankey vs Josh - Sankey pushes Josh off in one push Yoon: "I saw Josh's tiny body get flung like a ragdoll off in one push, I would be embarrassed personally. Idolize vs Space - Space knocks Idolize off Coke vs MessyJ - MessyJ puts up a fight, but Coke dominantly wins the round, pushing Messy off. MessyJ: "Of course I get the best opponent, why couldn't I get Josh or something instead of Coke, whose name is sounding like what they did before this challenge more than anything." Round 2: TheBreeze vs Sankey - TheBreeze barely pushes Sankey off Sankey: "Probably gonna be down in the bottom of the totem pole again." Coke vs Space - Coke pushes Space off with minimal effort. Final Round: TheBreeze vs Coke - Coke demolishes TheBreeze, winning this challenge. Luna wins a full set of Callaway golf clubs and a free private lesson. Coke wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain: @Coke DakotaMagic Space Luna Josh Kemi Rainolds KittyCupcake123 Idolize With the alliance (excluding AngieK) selected, the outsiders now get to be picked from Fiona @Sankey Yoon AngieKStan and JessieJedi are not selected and join the others AngieKStan: "The fact my alliance didn't even pick me is telling." Bottom 2: TheBreeze and MessyJ Yoon picks... TheBreeze Meaning MessyJ, you are headed back into the Duel. MessyJ: "Go big or go home, I select Space." The cast is shocked that MessyJ is going after someone who just won the daily, except Kemi who respects it. Kemi: "This cast is way too friendly, it's a game and we all want the money at the end of the day." Back at the house, Fiona, JessieJedi, MessyJ and Sankey form an alliance purely to keep themselves out of the last spot of going into The Duel. Space leaves the Five Alive alliance, leaving Four Alive in Coke, Dakota, Josh and Luna. Sankey and TheBreeze get into an argument when Sankey says TheBreeze should earn his stripes. Sankey: "It's true, MessyJ and I have both gone in but they just spare TheBreeze for some reason." Kemi has a meltdown over people not playing the game, calling out the cast for being fake friendly and that they just isolate people on the outside, Kemi's alliance is confused and wonders why Kemi is saying this. At The Duel: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she win. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. The bids go up, 10, 20, 30 and MessyJ bids that he could lift 40 watermelons, which is insanely high and MessyJ pays for that mistake as... 1... 2... # DROP MessyJ can't even lift it for 3 seconds since it's nearly 600lbs. Space wins the duel and a Seiko watch. MessyJ loses the duel and is eliminated, we'd love to see you back. Kemi and Space have a small fight after the elimination. Episode 6: We go to the daily challenge since not much drama happens before Flying Leap Competing two from the same group at a time, competitors will leap back and forth between two platforms raised twenty feet above water, collecting a flag every time they leap, for three minutes or until they fall into the water. The competitor in each group to collect the most flags wins. We go to results... Blue Group: In 3rd place with 18 flags is Coke In 2nd place with 27 flags is Space In 1st place with 32 flags is our prize winner: Josh Josh: "Phew, after losing that last challenge like that, I really wanted this pick me up win." Pink Group: In 3rd place with 17 flags is Yoon The gap between 2nd and first was one flag. In 2nd place with 23 flags is... ... ... Fiona And in 1st place with 24 flags is KittyCupcake123 Josh wins two round trip tickets anywhere Frontier Airlines flies. KittyCupcake123 wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain: @KittyCupcake Rainolds Idolize JessieJedi @Sankey DakotaMagic @Coke Luna Josh AngieKStan TheBreeze Space is not selected and joins the others. Bottom 2 are Kemi and Yoon. TheBreeze: "I have chosen to save: Yoon." Kemi will Duel and chooses to call out: Kemi: "I select Luna, go big or go home." The house is shocked that Kemi wouldn't select a weaker opponent. Back at the house, AngieKStan is frustrated to be near the bottom of the totem pole socially once again. AngieKStan: "I'm trying to keep my cool but I shouldn't be down here with the rejects." The Duel: Pole Wrestle Both competitors start on their knees. They try as hard as they can to wrestle the pole out of the other’s hands. Whoever lets go first loses the duel and is eliminated. The other wins. We begin, Kemi and Luna both battle, minutes go by with them trading blows and struggling, consistently having to be reset over and over, 4 minutes pass as both of them give it all they have. Idolize: "It's a wild fight, they're kicking and pushing and fighting for every single thing they have in this game, both of them want this, you can tell." 4 minutes and 21 seconds in, Kemi loses grip with one hand but barely keeps it going as Luna basically slams Kemi into the ground. And finally 4 minutes and 31 seconds in, Kemi loses grip of the pole as Luna snatches it away and tosses it to the ground. Luna wins the duel and an Xbox Series X Kemi loses the duel and is eliminated, we'd love to see you back. Coming up next episode, without a good pariah to choose from, TheBreeze and Sankey argue over who should go in. While on the pink group, after someone who has been on the outs all game finally loses the daily challenge, the group pounces on the chance to send them in and a main character is dragged into the duel with them... Find out all this and more on Episodes 7/8 of The Duel.

Keith: "Previously on KTC: The Duel... KitKat, KittyCupcake and Luna ganged up against Dakota, this led a lot of the pink group to side against KitKat in particular. At the first challenge, despite having a ton of allies and Sankey, their real world castmate going in, Sankey shocked the cast by calling out PosterBoy, and in the Ascender duel, PosterBoy posted a losing record as Sankey won The Duel. At the second challenge, many people were outcasted by their groups, Sankey and MessyJ in particular for the blue group while on the pink group KitKat and KittyCupcake battled for any kind of control in the game, eventually leading to Sobriquet going in and calling out KitKat, but in the Push Me elimination, KitKat came out on top." The cast get to the house, immediately Sankey tries to work with some of the pink group, but most of them turn him down until he approaches Yoon, who just lost Sobriquet last episode. Sankey and Yoon agree to pick eachother in the event either of them is chosen. Sankey: "I'm on the outs, I need to really work my social game if I'm gonna pull something together." While Sankey does this, MessyJ starts picking fights again when Connor eats the food he was making. Connor and MessyJ are pulled apart as MessyJ tries to throw hands with Connor. MessyJ: "It wasn't the food, it was the disrespect to take my food that I made for myself when I left it out for maybe 2 minutes." The cast goes to the challenge where KitKat picks the order. First up are Sankey and KittyCupcake who go quite fast and finish with a sub one minute time. KittyCupcake: "I want to win something and keep myself in a strong spot." Rainolds and AngieKStan go next, with Rainolds tripping and falling, DQ'ing them. AngieKStan: "This is so incredibly frustrating." TheBreeze and Yoon nearly finish until Yoon accidentally touches the bridge. Space and Dakota zoom through it as fast as possible, both wanting the win. Josh falls off the bridge when Josh and Kemi go. Connor and Jessie go and do finish. Fiona slips and touches the bridge, DQ'ing MessyJ and Fiona MessyJ: "Fiona really needs to step it up, I'm the one in danger this round." MessyJ argues with Fiona, only for Fiona to call him out publicly before storming off. Idolize and Luna get it done cleanly but slowly. Coke and KitKat finish slow and steady. Keith: "Our top 3 are Idolize and Luna, Space and Dakota and Sankey and KittyCupcake. In 3rd place... Luna and Idolize with 58 seconds. In 2nd place... Sankey and KittyCupcake with 54 seconds and in first place with 48 seconds, Space and Dakota congratulations." Space: "I'm glad to get a win to my name and something on the board." Dakota: "Staying in power, nobody can take this from me now." Dakota wins an IN72 InFocus projector. Space wins safety and must initiate the selection process! Safety Chain order: Space Fiona Idolize KittyCupcake123 Rainolds AngieKStan Josh Kemi TheBreeze DakotaMagic Connor JessieJedi @Coke Yoon KitKat2921 and Luna are not selected and join the others Yoon: "I have to keep my word to one of you, I select... @Sankey" MessyJ is not selected and will enter the duel MessyJ: "I'm calling out someone who can't compete to save their life, come on down Connor" The house is shocked that someone is already targeting Connor of all people. Connor: "Over the damn food? What is this guy's problem?" At the house, KitKat2921 and Idolize bond a lot. Coke, Connor, Dakota, Josh, Luna, Space and Yoon form an alliance, which Yoon feels bad about considering that once again, Sankey isn't included. Coke: "We've got the numbers; we have the strength (obviously) this is ours to lose." The Duel begins and it is called: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she wins. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. Both players bid: MessyJ bids 4! Connor bids 6! MessyJ bids 10! Connor bids 14! MessyJ bids 17! Connor bids 19! MessyJ bids 21! Connor bids 23! MessyJ bids 26! Connor bids 28! MessyJ bids 30! Connor calls him to lift 30 watermelons. MessyJ begins lifting 1... 2... 3... 4... ... ... 5! MessyJ successfully lifts the 30 watermelons for 5 seconds. MessyJ wins the duel and an Xbox Series X. Connor, unfortunately this ends your time on The Duel Episode 4: KitKat2921 and MessyJ bond over being outsiders. KitKat2921: "MessyJ and I aren't afraid to be rude and nasty because we both know these people aren't gonna take us out." The cast goes to the Challenge, called: Roller Derby Competing in heats, competitors race around a roller derby rink in roller skates. The first person to complete ten laps, or be the last person standing, in each heat will advance to a final round. On straightaways, competitors can knock one another over - if a player falls over the outer railing, falls into the inside of the track for three seconds, or clings onto the railing, they are disqualified. The winner of each final round wins. Blue Group Heat 1: Idolize, MessyJ, Josh and Rainolds MessyJ is DQ'd for touching the rails Josh wins and advances to the final round Heat 2: TheBreeze, Sankey, Coke and Space TheBreeze gets DQ'd for going out of bounds Sankey wins and advances to the final round TheBreeze: "I was moving and uhhh, I guess I just kept moving a little too far out of the rink." TheBreeze was still going out of bounds, and nobody came to help him as he was calling for help until after the round ended. Pink Group Heat 1: Dakota, Fiona and JessieJedi Fiona goes out of bounds like TheBreeze Dakota wins and advances to the final round Dakota: "Everyone here should be scared of what I can do." Heat 2: KitKat2921, KittyCupcake and Yoon KitKat: "I need this win bad, I can't let myself lose." Everyone looks focused and ready to go and they take off where... KitKat2921 is disqualified due to grabbing rails. KittyCupcake123 is disqualified due to being off the track for 3 seconds. So within 7 seconds Yoon wins by default. Yoon: "That was... something alright." Heat 3: Kemi, Luna and AngieKStan Kemi goes out of bounds AngieKStan wins and advances to the final round. Blue group final heat: Both men get ready to go and... Sankey is disqualified due to grabbing rails within 3 seconds. Josh wins! Pink Group final heat: Yoon is off the track for 3 seconds and gets disqualified but it's actually close between Dakota and AngieKStan but... # AIR HORN Dakota wins! Josh wins a 2006 BMW K1200R motorcycle. Dakota wins safety and gets to start the selection process! Safety Chain: DakotaMagic @Coke Yoon Josh AngieKStan Rainolds Kemi TheBreeze KittyCupcake123 Idolize Fiona Space Luna MessyJ @Sankey is not selected and joins the others. MessyJ has to pick between JessieJedi and KitKat2921, and quite obviously MessyJ: "I select KitKat2921" JessieJedi will be headed into the Duel JessieJedi: "I call out KitKat2921." Once again despite KitKat barely getting saved, KitKat will be headed into The Duel Rainolds and Space bond strongly. The Big Alliance of Coke, Dakota, Josh, Luna, Space and Yoon are not getting along as Yoon leaves the alliance. The Duel: I Can Both competitors counter bid on how many items they they think they can lift. If the last player to bid on a number successfully lifts that number of items for five seconds, he or she wins. If that player fails, he or she is eliminated. KitKat2921 bids 1! JessieJedi bids 3! KitKat2921 bids 8! JessieJedi bids 11! KitKat2921 bids 12! JessieJedi bids 20! KitKat2921 bids 25! JessieJedi bids 27! KitKat2921 bids 32! JessieJedi calls KitKat to do 32 watermelons. KitKat begins to carry the watermelons 1... 2... 3... ... # DROP KitKat2921 fails to lift the watermelons for five seconds. JessieJedi wins the duel and a Seiko watch. KitKat2921 loses the duel and is eliminated, I'd love to see you play again.

The cast arrives at the villa in Queenstown, New Zealand. Everyone hops out of the helicopter and stands in front of Keith. Keith introduces them to season one of The Challenge. Keith: "Here you will be divided by random selection and must face eachother in duels throughout the season, two groups of 10, the top 2 in each group will run my final. Throughout the season we will have prizes for you to win in the challenges and in the duels. This season, one person on each group will win and depending on what episode it is, your group's winner will either get safety and the ability to start the safety chain or they will win a prize. But trust me you wanna make that final, because there's 400k on the line, 50k for 2nd place and 150k for first. That sound like money worth competing for?" Posterboy: "That money is gonna be mine, they might as well all give up while they can." AngieKStan: "I want that money bad, but I also want that champion title, so I'm here to win." Back at the house, some drama breaks out as MessyJ and Sobriquet get into a huge fight over a bedroom when Sobriquet tried to shut out MessyJ. MessyJ: "Sobriquet is callous and a complete jerk." Sobriquet: "I'm just looking after number one, MessyJ is as his name implies: a mess." At the same time, an alliance forms between the members of another bedroom as AngieKStan, Josh, Kemi, PosterBoy and Rainolds form an alliance. PosterBoy: "We're gonna run this game, the rest of the cast isn't gonna know what hit them." JessieJedi and KittyCupcake bond over cooking together. JessieJedi: "I feel like she and I really could work together in this game, plus the fact she's nice to talk to helps a lot." When they get to the challenge, they learn about the groups: Group 1: Pink Group AngieKStan DakotaMagic Fiona JessieJedi Kemi KitKat2921 KittyCupcake123 Luna Sobriquet Yoon Group 2: Blue Group @Coke Connor Idolize Josh MessyJ PosterBoy Rainolds Space TheBreeze The cast compete in their first challenge called: Reaching Out In two rounds separated by groups, competitors are locked into harnesses which are all connected to a center connector. On go, competitors will all attempt to reach their own marked zone where a key will be buried. The first person in each group to unlock their harness will win. Pink Group is competing for a prize, blue group is competing for safety. In the challenge, Pink Group takes off as Luna, Dakota and Kemi battle, Kemi falls behind, Luna and Dakota take advantage, trying to get to the end. DakotaFan: "I want this prize, I don't even care what it is, this is mine to win." Luna, seeing that Dakota is getting ahead of her tells KitKat and KittyCupcake to drag Dakota, which they do, allowing Luna to just barely unlock the harness first. KittyCupcake: "Ganging up on DakotaFan didn't feel right, but better to be in good graces with the strongest women here." On the Blue Group however it's a blowout as Coke just dominates the challenge. Coke: "I've shown all the blue team I'm not to be messed with." Luna wins two round trip tickets for an airline while Coke wins safety and starts the safety chain Safety chain picks in order: @Coke DakotaMagic Idolize Yoon PosterBoy AngieKStan Rainolds Kemi Josh KittyCupcake123 TheBreeze KitKat2921 Connor JessieJedi Space Fiona Luna and Sobriquet are not picked and join the others, leaving Fiona to pick between Sankey and MessyJ. Despite MessyJ already being a mess on day 1... Fiona picks MessyJ @Sankey will duel tonight and chooses to duel... PosterBoy Sankey: "PosterBoy has an ego to him that I'd like to crush." Back at the house: KittyCupcake and Sobriquet get into a huge fight as Sobriquet calls Kitty a coward for helping Luna drag Dakota. Dakota pretends to cry to some of the pink group, gaining her a lot of sympathy. DakotaFan: "Am I upset? Yes. Would I cry about it? No. But I need the pink group to think I'm the victim so I'm not a target." Fiona, KittyCupcake, JessieJedi, Idolize and Rainolds form another alliance called the Five Alive alliance. THE DUEL Sankey and PosterBoy arrive at the Duel. PosterBoy: "Sankey and I came from the same real-world season, so the fact he's calling me out when other people let him out to dry is stupid." Sankey: "PosterBoy and I have a long history I know, but I'm not playing second fiddle to him for another season." Ascender Both competitors start on the ground with both hands on the rope. They must make their way up the ropes, swing across the monkey bars, and release the basket holding his or her puzzle pieces. The pieces will free fall. The competitors must make their way back across the monkey bars, hit the rope, come back down, retrieve the puzzle pieces, and put the puzzles together. The first person to put the puzzle together wins the duel, and the loser is eliminated. Off rip, Sankey goes hard, running through the obstacles as fast as possible, PosterBoy falls behind a lot. Sankey gets to the puzzle and is stumped, allowing PosterBoy to catch up and get to the puzzle but Sankey finishes the puzzle first. # Air Horn @Sankey wins the duel and a Seiko watch. PosterBoy this ends your time on The Duel, we'd love to see you again. PosterBoy final words: "I'm a little hurt, definitely gonna need to get the knife removed from my back after this season." After the duel, many of the cast members are mad at Sankey for cutting one of their own castmates but Idolize respects it and goes to congratulate Sankey. Idolize: "These people don't understand." Part 2 of the premiere: Back at the house Sobriquet continues picking fights with KittyCupcake and KitKat. Sobriquet: "I'm not afraid to get in these people's faces, they're cowardly." The women pretty much all agree they don't want Sobriquet to stay. At the Challenge: Ring Toss In two rounds separated by groups, competitors will start at their color-designated pole. On go, competitors run into a muddy in-ground pool of water in order to retrieve the rings of other competitors and return them to the starting pole of the same color. When all ten rings of a competitor have been returned to their starting pole, that person is eliminated from the competition. The last person remaining in each group wins. Blue Group results: @Coke - First out, targeted due to being the biggest threat Coke: "What a load of bull." @Sankey - Second out, targeted due to being the pariah of the blue group. Sankey: "Whatever, it's clear I'm gonna be the hated person on this group." TheBreeze - third out, targeted due to being the only person without any cast members from their Road Rules season Space - fourth out, same reason as TheBreeze MessyJ - Fifth out, targeted for being messy and dramatic. Connor - Sixth out, decided to throw it to let someone else become a target. Josh - Seventh out, got targeted by the top 2. Idolize - Eighth out, just lost in the footrace Rainolds - wins the challenge with 1 ring remaining Pink Group results: Sobriquet - First out, targeted by the pink group for being negative. Sobriquet: "Lame move, just target the person who speaks their mind, that makes sense." Luna - Second out, targeted for her move in the first challenge and for winning the first challenge. Luna: "Expected but they better not target me if they know what's good for them." AngieKStan - third out, got targeted by KitKat and KittyCupcake for basically no reason JessieJedi - Fourth out, targeted for siding with KitKat and KittyCupcake in the argument of them targeting Dakota. Yoon - Fifth out - targeted by KitKat and KittyCupcake DakotaMagic - Sixth out - targeted by KitKat and KittyCupcake @KitKat - Seventh out - got targeted by the rest of the group and only survived this long by working with KittyCupcake Kemi - Eighth out - targeted by KittyCupcake after KitKat went out Fiona - Ninth out - Lost to KittyCupcake in a footrace @KittyCupcake wins with 1 ring remaining Rainolds win a Scratch Live DJ Kit @KittyCupcake wins safety and starts the safety chain Safety chain order: @KittyCupcake Rainolds AngieKStan Josh Kemi TheBreeze Yoon Space JessieJedi Idolize Fiona @Coke DakotaMagic Connor Luna MessyJ Sankey isn't selected and joins the others Sankey: "Shocker." MessyJ needs to pick between Sobriquet and KitKat and when the pink group makes it clear they don't want Sobriquet in, MessyJ gives them what they want and saves KitKat2921 Sobriquet will duel and chooses to duel KitKat2921 Sobriquet: "KitKat deserves to go home for their moves, simple as that." KitKat: "Sobriquet picking me was a dumb move, I'm one of the strongest here." Back at the House: Fiona and Space bond strongly Fiona: "I could definitely work with Space this season, I feel like we have similar mindsets." Sobriquet makes an alliance with Yoon last minute to try to gain an ally in case Sobriquet wins the duel Yoon: "Honestly working with Sobriquet just isn't a good offer right now when Sobriquet is such a social pariah." AngieKStan yells at KitKat and KittyCupcake for targeting her when she didn't even have a problem with them. AngieKStan: "In this game, they're dead to me." # THE DUEL Push Me Both competitors start on opposite sides of a pole. In the center of the pole is a flag attached to a carabiner. The competitors must push the pole towards the center and unclip the flag from the ground. Whoever is able to do this first wins the duel. If a player rips the flag off the ground without unclipping it, he or she will be disqualified. The Duel begins with KitKat in the lead, but Sobriquet pushes back, holding their ground for as long as possible. Sobriquet overpowers KitKat, only for KitKat to slam their shoulder into the bar, causing Sobriquet to lose balance and nearly lose the duel, but Sobriquet hangs on. KitKat keeps pushing into Sobriquet and finally gets to the flag and unclips it. # AIR HORN KitKat2921 wins the duel and a prize of 500 dollars Sobriquet loses the duel and is eliminated, we'd love to see you back, you never gave up and I really respect that. Sobriquet: "If they think this is the last they'll see of me, they're wrong."

PYN to be on KTC Season 1: The Duel Trying this again, I want to do a series of The Challenge simulated seasons on here. I will be doing the season with 2 episodes per day, it will be formatted as The Duel. Please sign up if you want to play, I have watched every TC episode, I really want to make my own little universe of it. Also this will not use AI as I find AI to be usually pretty mediocre at making anything worthwhile. Cast (20 players): AngieKStan Josh KittyCupcake123 @Coke Idolize Space DakotaMagic Fiona Rainolds Luna MessyJ TheBreeze KitKat2921 PosterBoy @Sankey Connor Sobriquet Yoon JessieJedi Kemi
