Can Emy Beat A 30-Season-Long Challenge Record?

Can Emy Beat A 30-Season-Long Challenge Record?




Thirty Challenge seasons and nearly 20 years back, the most emblematic MTV underdog of all time, Sarah Greyson, won The Gauntlet immediately after surviving her team’s season-long mission to oust her. She notched five elimination-round wins en route to her victory in Season 7, including two against males, and by the time she collected her check, she’d unwittingly made history.


Two decades later, Sarah’s record remains unbeaten and matched only once, yet the standout rookie of Season 37, a blue-haired Romanian pop star named Emy, is in a position to finally amend the record books. Although with the Spies, Lies and Allies finale likely around the corner, will Emy have time to group up Lair victories five and six to officially cement her standing as one of the primary players ever, or will Sarah continue to reign supreme?


On the latest episode, and outnumbered by Ruby and Emerald Cells’ wider rosters, Emy, CT and Kyle — the Sapphire Cell — seemed doomed to fail the next mission, “Million Dollar Heist.” The competition challenged teams to each move $1 million dollars — that’s 2,000 pounds of money — from an appointed vault to an appointed SUV.


Rapidly, the mission boiled down to a sprint between Ruby And Emerald Cells, although with one final push, Team Green notched their fifth win, leaving Sapphire’s Emy and Ruby’s Tori and Big T each at risk of elimination.


And Tori, for one, wasn’t thrilled by Emerald Cell using her as an assassin to take out Big T, who threatened to infiltrate Emerald with a potential win.


“If you determine to weaponize me also it doesn’t work, it’s not gonna be pretty,” Tori mentioned.


Tori could avoid any ugliness for at least one extra round, though, because the Emerald Cell Organization nominated Big T — who eventually picked Emy as her opponent — into The Lair.


Emy, who’d already won three tense elimination rounds, felt slighted by companions she felt sure could have protected her, yet with a couple of minutes to pump herself up — and another fiery invocation of her late grandmother — Emy-the-beast looked ready to annihilate Big T in “License to Chill,” which challenged players to accomplish a giant puzzle punctuated by torturous trips into an ice bath.


“If I have perish in here, I am going to perish in here,” Emy mentioned. “My grandmother motivates me the most. She’s up there in the sky, and I really need her and I'd like to create her proud.”


And that is precisely what Emy did. Though Big T, a self-proclaimed “puzzle queen,” was favored to win the Lair game, Emy, who admitted brain teasers were her weakness, pulled through, notching her fourth elimination-round win.


“Congratulations — 4-0 — can we mention Emy is Rookie of the Year?” Nelson asked. “She’s certainly Rookie of the Year.”


That much is undeniable, nevertheless will Rookie of the Year ultimately lend itself to Challenge legend, and can Emy pull off the nearly impossible feat of two more Lair wins?


What do you suggest — can Emy beat Sarah’s record, and is Challenge history about to change? Or is there also little time left, and are the remaining ladies also tough for even Emy to beat? Visualize what occurs next Wednesday on Spies, Lies and Allies.
