KTC Episodes 9/10: Brace for Impact

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: DK 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 DK 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.
