The Challenge: Battle of the Exes

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

It's do or die time for Mark and Robin this week on The Challenge: Battle of the Exes. For 17 years, Mark Long has avoided going into an elimination round. HOW?! I have no idea and, according to his interview with Johnny Mosley on the After Show, neither does he. Robin doesn't seem to have a whole lot of fight in her, even when CT, Ty, and Emily try to give her a pep talk. But you know what she DOES have a whole lot of in her? Tears.

 

The night of the battle, Mark struts into The Dome, kickin' it old school with his red Road Rules bandana that first made us fall in love with him in the first place. It's hard to imagine Johnny and Camila going out now, especially considering the challenge is X Battle. Robin used to have so much fight in her but Camila makes quick work of her and then, even though Mark gets a point in, Johnny takes two rounds and that's enough to send them home. And so close to the money too!

 

The final three couples arrive in Iceland, where they get all warm and fuzzy with one another. Emily even sheds some tears! It's clear that all three couples have come a long way in their personal relationships with one another, but CT and Diem definitely take the cake.

 

After getting all bundled up the next morning (I mean, it's -19 outside!), the couples meet up with TJ to learn about their final challenge. Things start off with a dogsled race for one mile, followed by a dangerous plunge into a river where hypothermia can set in after just 30 seconds. CT and Diem finish both tasks with the best time and get the best sleeping arrangements that night. Oh, that's right. They're sleeping on a glacier! MTV has some evil people coming up with these final challenges. Johnny and Camila come in second, and Ty and Emily are in third.

 

Things are about to get crazier on the second half of the finale next week with a run through knee deep snow, a pretty disgusting looking eating challenge, and a hike up a mountain that puts any other final challenge hike to shame!

 

 

Don't miss the finale of The Challenge: Battle of the Exes, Wednesday at 10/9c on MTV.
