The Challenge: Rivals

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

There's drinking, dancing, skinny dipping, and the usual mayhem in the house this week on The Challenge: Rivals. Adam is clearly smitten with Jenn and wrestles with whether or not he should tell her how he feels. He shouldn't. While he professes his love in one room, she rips him apart in another. I mean, even if she doesn't like him, they ARE friends. Who talks about their friends like that?

 

Jonna and Jasmine sit down to talk about... well, actually, I don't know what they were talking about because the next thing I know, they're mocking each other and talking over each other. That pushes Jasmine to her drunk breaking point and she throws her mic off and storms out of the villa. As she screams for help to get out of there, no one from the staff intervenes and Evan tosses her over his shoulder and drags her back inside. He finally gets her to calm down, shut up, and go to bed. Oh, that's right. Evan got all Dr. Phil up in there.

 

In a white water rafting challenge, teams had to paddle upstream in a kayak until they couldn't anymore, then turn around and ride the rapids down to the finish line. Adam and CT are forced to go first and do pretty well. Despite the fact that they're a hell of a force to be reckoned with, Adam still won't admit to being friends with CT. Aw, poor guy...

 

Wes and Kenny DQ when they flip over into the water and can't back to their kayak in time. Sarah and Katelynn also go overboard and, as the only female team to DQ, they automatically will head to the jungle. Lemme tell ya, that really pisses Sarah off. Nobody hates to lose more than her. You either have to roll your eyes at her intensity or sit back and appreciate her competitive spirit.

 

Johnny and Tyler (despite a slight injury to his man parts) pull off their second win in a row. They may just be the best working team in the game. Who woulda thunk it?

 

Back at the house, Wes puts on his Godfather pants and tells Jonna and Jasmine that they basically wrote their ticket into the jungle for going against the group in last week's deliberation. You don't have to like him but he does speak the truth. The rookies are sent in against Sarah and Katelynn to a challenge that involves puzzles - something the former Brooklyn roomies couldn't be happier about!

 

Prior to the challenge, TJ shows up unexpectedly at the house to retrieve a teammate from each pair. Jasmine and Katelynn volunteer and have the unfortunate task of being buried alive. No thanks.  Sarah and Jonna dig them out, not knowing which girl is in which box and then head for the puzzle. Katelynn says she's seen this puzzle before but something goes wrong and that something may have been Sarah. Pieces start getting moved around and before they know it, the horn is sounded and Jonna and Jasmine have won. Whaaaat?

 


The Challenge: Rivals airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on MTV.
