Do Ashley And Hunter Have What It Takes To Hijack Final Reckoning?

As Tony observed on the latest Challenge episode, host TJ Lavin is the dirtiest player in the game, and the BMX legend’s latest move has upstaged even the grimiest spots on his resume.


On tonight’s Final Reckoning episode — and immediately after some expert politicking from the latest mission-winners Kayleigh and Kam — rookies Faith and Ashley were finally voted into Armageddon, a move that a handful of veteran teams had been attempting to achieve for some time. And, because Kam’s plan was so foolproof, the only team eligible to battle Faith and Angela in the coming elimination round was Jozea and Da’Vonne, an extra pair of rookies that the vets had also been attempting to pick off.


Although just because the battle was set to start, TJ dropped a bombshell: Faith and Angela wouldn’t be battling the Big Brother exports. Alternatively, TJ noted he was reviving the dreaded storming of the Mercenaries from Vendettas, and out popped Hunter and Ashley, who both looked bloodthirsty.


“These people better be scared because I’m feeling the power like I did on ‘Invasion,’” Ashley, mentioned, citing her triumphant season, while Hunter noted: “I’m excited, I feel like a tiger that’s been locked in a cage, and I’m willing to bust out.”


However the newbies weren’t so pleased with the news.


“I’m standing in my first elimination, I’m going against Mercenaries, like how the f*ck did this happen to me?” Angela mentioned incredulously.


And that wasn’t all — while the Vendettas Mercenaries were short-term players, and tasked exclusively with taking other players out, Final Reckoning Mercenaries could earn their way into the game if they successfully won a Armageddon. Yup: that insinuates if Ashley and Hunter are able to strong-arm their way to an elimination-round victory, they’ll take Faith and Angela’s spot in the game, and Faith and Angela will be sent straight into the Redemption House.


for now, Faith and Angela have been among the best performers in Final Reckoning, and routinely exceed expectations, although they haven’t been tested like this quite although. Which way will the wind blow?


What do you know — will Ashley and Hunter take out Faith and Angela and proceed to dominate the game? Or, do you suggest they’re a little also sure of themselves, and was Ashley’s Invasion win an anomaly across an otherwise winless collective record? Share your thoughts, and visualize should these two have what it takes to come out on top once The Challenge returns on Tuesday!
