💥 Episode 6: “Pressure Points”
The Challenge house feels tense after the double elimination. The Rookies are celebrating hard, while the Vets lick their wounds after losing two of their own.
@goomybear has officially become the season’s comic relief and chaos agent — leading a mock “Vet funeral” in the kitchen, complete with toilet paper veils and sad violin music from a phone speaker. It’s hilarious to the Rookies but infuriates the Vets.
@musiclover mutters, “They better pray this next challenge isn’t physical.”
Meanwhile, @Cristi and @raiden are starting to bond with the Vet team, though some still see them as outsiders.
⚔️ The Challenge: “Pressure Points”
JB greets everyone at the arena with a smirk.
“Today’s challenge is all about balance and endurance. You’ll be working as a full team — each side standing on connected beams over water.
The goal: keep your entire team balanced for as long as possible. If one person falls, it throws the whole side off. The team that lasts the longest wins safety — and control of nominations.”
Captains are chosen:
Vets Captain: @puppies (Vet)
Rookies Captain: @Paulette (Rookie)
The challenge begins, and immediately the size difference between teams shows — the Vets’ smaller numbers make balance tricky, but their experience keeps them steady. @Cristi and @raiden prove their loyalty, coaching others and shouting directions like pros.
On the Rookies’ side, @goomybear is vibing — balancing with arms out like a tightrope artist — but @cassideez keeps giggling, nearly costing them the round. When @edmxxnd slips, the Rookies scramble to recover, but it’s too late.
JB blows the horn.
“Vets win it!”
The Vets explode in celebration — it’s their first clean win in weeks, and @puppies screams, “WE’RE BACK!”
🩸 Elimination Announcement
That means @Paulette is automatically sent into elimination.
The Vets’ captain, @puppies, gathers the team to decide who to send in. The debate gets fiery — @dimitra wants to send @goomybear as payback for the “funeral,” while @kemi argues to take out a stronger physical player instead.
Eventually, JB calls for their decision.
“Vets, who are you sending in?”
@puppies: “We choose @goomybear.”
The crowd gasps. Even @musiclover winces.
⚡ Elimination: “Cage Match”
@Paulette vs @goomybear.
Each player is locked in a steel cage filled with sandbags. The goal: dig out, climb the bars, and hit the buzzer first.
The two start with fierce determination. @Paulette is methodical and steady, while @goomybear is wild and fast but wastes energy. Halfway through, @goomybear looks gassed — but they pull a comeback, shouting, “Not today, baby!” and slamming the buzzer just seconds before @Paulette can.
JB steps forward.
“@goomybear wins elimination!”
The arena goes wild. The Rookies scream. The Vets clap begrudgingly.
JB turns to @goomybear:
“You’ve earned your choice — stay on your team or swap to the Vets?”
@goomybear grins mischievously.
“I’m gonna swap — I want to see what chaos feels like on the other side.”
The Rookies boo, the Vets cheer and groan simultaneously, and @goomybear cackles all the way back to the house.
