Welcome back, Challenge fans!

Last week, we left on a cliffhanger as both elimination matches went unresolved and, this week, we started with the finale of both matches.

Susie prevailed in a grueling (sexy?) tug of war match against Kim and Bananas surprisingly defeated Dunbar, who was mentally checked out as his male comrades got knocked off week by week.

If this was a meaningful match to Dunbar, there is little doubt in my mind he would have beat the pants off of Bananas.  With their victories, Susie is now worth over $25K and Bananas is worth over $15K.

The Challengers are now left with three girls: Casey (ugh), Sarah (yes, total babe) and KellyAnne (fembot) and the Champs are loaded with meat featuring Derrick, Evan, Kenny, Bananas, and little sweet ol’ Susie.

After the elimination, Susie and Bananas exchange words because Bananas knows she does not care if the Champs win the whole thing because she is loaded with loot and she just might throw the championship round to spite her frenemies – namely, Bananas.

Bananas wants to throw the last challenge in order for KellyAnne to go against Susie, and Susie is well aware of what Bananas wants. The two hate each other and will do whatever it takes to get out of each other’s way even if it means throwing the next challenge.

The rest of the Champs do not want to throw the match because they want that extra $4K for winning the last match.  Bananas is growing upset because he knows Susie will throw the championship because she hates him so much. LOL, everyone hates you Johnny.

The Champs won the last challenge easily even though Bananas tried his hardest to throw the match and a vote was unnecessary as Susie picked Casey to face in the last elimination.

Needless to say, Susie smoked Casey in The Ruins and it was not even close; Susie is now worth $31K and the finals are set for next week.

The Champs include Evan, Kenny, Derrick, Bananas, and Susie and the Challengers are only two girls, KellyAnne and Sarah. The final challenge is worth $160K to be divided up between the teammates and, although MTV is trying to set the table full of drama, I think the Champs will win very easily.


The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins airs Wednesdays at 10pm ET on MTV.
