And the award for Most Unlikely Couple On The Challenge goes to... Devyn and Eric! Who would've thought? The two have been spending quite a bit of time together and it seems like there are some feelings developing. There's also the unlikely (or is it?) pairing of Sarah and Alton, who are forming quite the connection, much to Trishelle's dismay. Apparently, she's "heard" from "a lot of people" that Sarah is "extremely manipulative". Who gave you this information, Trishelle?

The SuperAlliance have a plan going into this week's challenge. Now that they've already ousted Austin completely, they'll set their sights on getting Fresh Meat out, followed by Brooklyn. I don't know why anybody would ever go on one of these things if they didn't like heights or water, because I think those are two of The Challenge's favorite things - along with doorbells, and sleigh bells, and schnitzel with noodles. The teams have to work as one unit, using hooks and footholds, to make their way across the structure.

During Fresh Meat's turn, Eric falls (for the second challenge in a row), resulting in a DQ for the team. Brooklyn makes it across but time expires for New Orleans and St. Thomas because Mackenzie and Marie were terrified. For the record, I would be, too! Cancun, San Diego and Vegas all make it across in good time but Las Vegas are the winners this time around.

Of course, Trishelle wants Brooklyn it but Alton guns for New Orleans, who is part of their alliance. He doesn't feel like Mackenzie or Preston perform well in the challenges, so they deserve to go in, where as Brooklyn has competed well. All hell breaks look with Alton saying he didn't want to even be in an alliance and Dustin calling him out for being on a power trip. I don't know power trip he's talking about. It just seems like the guy wants to play the game without politics but good luck with that.

Trishelle ends up getting her way, with Brooklyn going in against Fresh Meat in a strategy competition. The night before the elimination challenge, Alton and Sarah hang out and he says that she "completes a picture". It seems like things are getting pretty serious! Brandon and Camila get into a drunk fight about I honestly don't even know what, and Chet gets into it with Trishelle over whether or not Sarah is a shady person. Hint: she's not.

For the challenge, players must take a heavy rope and weave it through a jungle gym until time runs out. Then, they will switch and the first team to get the rope back into the jungle gym wins. Sarah and Chet decide to go in for Brooklyn and they're the perfect duo - they're smart AND they're both two big kids who work very well together. Once again, Fresh Meat can't decide who should go in so Vegas sends Cara Maria and Brandon in to get the task done. Brooklyn seems to have a better plan overall and are able to get their rope back in first so they'll be hanging around a little longer. Cara Maria and Brandon, on the other hand, leave emptyhanded and will have to wait until the next Challenge to try to get their hands on some cash.

The Challenge: Battle Of The Seasons airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on MTV.
