It's the morning of the final men's jungle on The Challenge: Rivals, where CT and Adam will soon face off against Johnny and Tyler. While everyone catches up on sleep, Laurel brings CT breakfast and a conversation ensues about how it's the nicest thing she's ever done for a guy. If putting some fruit on a plate is her best move to date, she's gonna need to step it up a bit!

 

The minute everyone found out what this last jungle entailed, if I were Johnny and Tyler, I'd be scared. In "T-Bone", players had to run back and forth through crossed ramps dug into the ground, transferring balls from one side to the other. However, if you run into an opposing team member, you could basically do whatever you want to get past them.

 

Things start off pretty rough because Adam can't figure out which color ball he's supposed to transport. Feeling he needs to make up for her partner's mistake, CT tries to slow Johnny and Tyler down by plowing right into them, sending them both flying. It comes down to one final ball and though CT tried to slow Tyler down, and literally drag Adam up the hill at the end, Tyler reaches his rack first. What an upset!

 

So Johnny and Tyler will be heading to the finals and CT and Adam head home. Both teams have found mutual respect for each other though Johnny and Tyler sem much closer. How much can the former Real World: Paris roommates bond when every opportunity he had in the past, CT beat the crap out of Adam?

 

During a goodbye message to Adam, Jenn states, "We're friends." We're FRIENDS?! The guy didn't want to leave Buenos Aires so he could spend more time with you and you've been cuddling in bed together all season long. Friends, huh? Poor Adam.

 

Kenny receives a text message back at the house from TJ, letting eveyone know they're now going to Patagonia, which is BEAUTIFUL, for their last challenge.

 

The day of the finals, Jenn and Tyler become violently ill with food poisoning. The medic advises them not to compete but with money on the line, neither one is staying in bed.

 

The evil geniuses at MTV have concocted a hell of a final challenge. Things start with teams being dragged underwater for 200 yards for as long as they can hold on, then they have to swim to a kayak, and paddle for 3 miles. When they reach shore, the race is really just getting started. Kayaks prove to be confusing for some of the teams but Ev and Paula (who is determined to finally win after eight challenges) make it there first for the girls. They're gonna need to step it up though, becuase Cara Maria and Laurel are right behind them. Meanwhile, Jenn isn't even sure she can continue past kayaking.

 

To find out who reaches the finish line first, you'll have to wait for next week's finale!

 

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