MTV The Challenge: Double Agents
The fifth episode of The Challenge: Double Agents aired on January 13 and it was full of wild moments that had social media talking from the first moments of the show when the house reacted to the dramatic ending of last week’s episode.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the fifth episode of The Challenge: Double Agents which aired on January 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The episode started off with a bang with the house reeling from Fessy Shafaat’s major move in the previous episode going into the Hall Brawl elimination against Nelson Thomas. Right before the daily challenge, viewers learned that one competitor, Natalie Anderson, would be leaving the game for personal reasons. Instead, two-time champ Ashley Mitchell was brought back to the house to replace her.
Chris “CT” Tamburello and Tula “Big T” Fazakerley won the daily challenge and gained control of the house. Big T, along with other rookies, orchestrated the elimination matchup between Aneesa Ferreira and Tori Deal, ultimately ending in Tori getting eliminated. In the team reshuffle, there was a return back to original partners as winner Aneesa chose to pair up with Fessy again and Kaycee Clark chose Leroy. Devin Walker-Molaghan was left as a rogue agent and his next partner will be determined in a future episode.

Many People Reacted to the Elimination Between Tori & Aneesa & Tori Getting Sent Home Early
Another major moment in the episode happened near the end of the hour and a half when Tori was thrown into the elimination by Big T and CT to face the house vote and her friend, Aneesa.

One Twitter post read, “Yay Aneesa!! Sucks she had to go against Tori, but I’m so happy she got a red skull. This is her season to shine dammit. Time people put respect on her name, she is one of the best.” One person wrote, “Aneesa is such an unimpressive and atrocious player. Look how fast Tori caught up! She nearly had it.
