Let the showmances continue on The Challenge: Rivals 2! Though it seemed like Jemmye and Leroy were going to hook up last week, Knight stirred up too much drama for it to actually happen. Leroy has since moved on to Theresa, who used to hook up with Wes on Fresh Meat 2. Wes was less than thrilled about the new pairing and moved to another bedroom, prompting the players to make fun of him and say he has no self-esteem.

Zach checked in with his mom back home and found out that his sister had given birth. Congrats, Uncle Zach! This seems like a time to celebrate, but he is extremely upset that he missed out on such an important event. He (almost) completely melts down, saying he feels sick, needs a doctor, and wants the cameras out of his face.

It looked like Zach might walk out and leave Trey in Thailand, but he pulls it together for the next challenge. Players have to run across a balance beam above the water while opposing teams swing back and forth, trying to knock them off. Trey and Zach both fall in the water, which is great for the other guys, since they've been winning so much. Even Knight and Preston make it further! Alliances are formed throughout the competition, and some teams decide not to swing at certain people to help them get a win. When Johnny and Frank don't swing at Knight and Preston, Zach is pissed and calls them out as the people he wants to face in The Jungle.

Over on the ladies' side, a few take some serious shots, including Cara Maria and Diem. Camila and Jemmye fly across the beam but run too far apart, breaking one of the rules. Theresa and Jasmine end up winning, but only because other teams let them. The same goes for the guys' team that won, CT and Wes. Wait, people are helping them!?

At deliberation, Theresa and Jasmine throws her vote away to Ty and Leroy, as do Nany and Jonna. That ends up being the most idiotic thing they could do, since Leroy is their closest ally. Diem and Aneesa see an opportunity, and give them the third and final vote to send them in. Theresa and Nany, that might go down as the worst elimination strategy ever.

In The Jungle, up several stories high, teams must break through several floors and then a steel door at the bottom to ring in first and take the win. Zach and Trey finish first, causing Zach to throw his helmet at the players in the heat of the moment. Just a minute, guys. TJ is here to break up your celebration because you didn't alternate breaking the floors the way you were supposed to. That means Ty and Leroy win and get to stay in Thailand.

The Challenge: Rivals 2 airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on MTV.
