Who Gets Eliminated on MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ Tonight? (Live Post)

The Challenge: War of the Worlds

MTV

The Challenge: War of the Worlds airs its fourth episode tonight, but I’m still joyously reminiscing about last week’s elimination when a power move by Tribunal member Wes sent Johnny Bananas and his partner Morgan straight to The Killing Floor. I not only stan Wes, but I was so here for that early Bananas boot. (Looks like Jemmye’s curse theory is turning out to be true! See ya, Johnny. Don’t come back soon, K?)

With 15 teams remaining, last week’s previews teased a brutal double elimination for tonight and I’m sure whatever Teej has in store for us is bound to be one for the record books. So who’s going to get the axe? We’ll be updating this post live as the show airs, so be sure to refresh to read the latest!

If it wasn’t obvious, this post will contain some serious spoilers—you’ve been warned!

And the eliminated teams are: CT and Julia and JP and Natalie. Here’s how it all went down.

“This challenge is the most intense challenge I’ve been on,” says CT at the top of the episode. And he’s right. The last winner went home first (Ashley) followed by Bananas. This crew isn’t playing around!

All the drama in the house has Kyle and Zach worried. They know Paulie and Cara are going to come after Kyle time and time again. And they’re right, too. At least everyone knows where they stand, and thankfully for us, this foreshadows some serious future beef and killer eliminations. (Where’s Devin when we need him?—LET’S GO!)

In the challenge, players have to swing a large beam over to their partner, while their partner has to jump onto it, shimmy around, and leap off to hit a floating target that stops their time. Paulie and Ninja Natalie kill it prompting someone in the crowd to yell, “Pack your bags, Kyle!” (Yikes. Talk about an uphill battle for the tattooed Brit.) For Ninja Natalie, I’m not even sure if this is a “challenge.” It seems like something she practices in her backyard daily in between squatting sets and rounds of protein shakes.

A lot of teams disqualify, but Nany and Turbo crush it (sorry, the “Turkish spider monkey”), as do Cara and Theo. When it comes to Kyle and Mattie’s turn, Kyle can’t complete the task and the team is DQ’d. The top three teams wind up being Ninja Natalie and Paulie, Hunter and Georgia, and Turbo and Nany. And thus, the Tribunal is born.

Then TJ drops the bomb: it’s a double elimination.

When the Tribunal makes their choices, CT and Julia, Amanda and Josh, and Kyle and Mattie are on the chopping block. Nany mentions in an interview that CT always winds up in a final without seeing any elimination. People seem to be thinking pretty logically in this episode, and even though I’m a CT fan, Nany’s looking out for herself. Respect.

Am I the only person who couldn’t care less about the Kyle/Paulie drama. I didn’t care when Cara and Danielle Maltby released all those texts, I didn’t care when Cara and Paulie got back together, and I don’t care now. Thank u, next.

Not only am I over anything remotely involving Paulie, but I’m exceptionally over the Kyle-Paulie feuding. They can knock each other out, get sent home, get thrown into elimination…who even cares? Can we just get these two split up once and for all? If I had to choose, I’m Team Kyle, but watching these two buffoons bark at each other each and every episode isn’t even entertaining. (Those Big Brother live feeds didn’t lie, Paulie. We’re onto you.)

The Tribunal votes Kyle and Mattie into elimination, and they call out Natalie and JP. TJ then tells Natalie and JP that they can choose a team to call down to The Killing Floor. JP loses his mind and calls out the biggest, baddest vet of them all: CT and his partner Julia.

The elimination is a good old fashioned battle in the sand, with all three members of each sex fighting for control over three rings. Once someone gets control of two rings, he or she wins. Mattie defeats Julia and non-Ninja Natalie, while the three guys, CT, Kyle, and JP, begin a battle to the death in which Kyle becomes the victor. Thus, the eliminated teams are CT and Julia and JP and Natalie.

It’s a shame we lost CT so soon, but at least he got a chance to fight for himself this time around. (He and Veronica got totally screwed during Final Reckoning.)

Fifteen teams were whittled down to 13 as next week’s preview showed the unimaginable: somebody quits the show. And if we know anything about The Challenge, it’s that TJ hates quitters.
