MTV 'The Challenge: Spies Lies and Allies' cast
Episode 11 of “The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies” continued with the new format introduced in the previous episode, with competitors split into three teams, or cells, facing off against each other. The episode, somewhat unpleasantly named “Mucus Plug,” featured a physical heights-above-water challenge and a classic, gritty elimination that had cast members sharing their thoughts online.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the 11th episode of “The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies” which aired on October 20 at 8 p.m. on MTV.
The episode’s mission, titled Satellite Sabotage, featured a massive type of wheel hanging above the water and teams had to jump from one spoke to the next as the other teams blasted jets of water up at them. A mistake from the Ruby team’s Kyle Christie saw the Emerald team win a second week in a row and form the Agency.
The group nominated Ed Eason to go into the Lair and the rookie called Kyle down to the sand to face off in Pole Wrestle. Kyle maintained his undefeated status in that type of elimination and sent Ed home, leaving only four rookies in the game. After some suspense, he chose to infiltrate the Sapphire team, sending Nelson Thomas to Ruby.
