Double Agents Do-Over: Can Big T Trust Challenge Partner CT?

If the cheese stands alone, call Double Agents preference Big T a blue-ribbon camembert. The Brit-bred Challenge star — who’s defied expectations across Season 36 — is currently the game’s only competitor without a Gold Skull. Yet right now that she’s got her old partner back, will she finally have a chance to earn her own?


And, more importantly, can she trust CT — who burned her big time — to get her back inside The Crater?


On the most recent Double Agents episode, teams got involved with the deep unknown in “Undercover,” which challenged them to submerge themselves into some of Iceland’s clearest (and coldest) waters, collect a series of coded rings between two tectonic plates and use the rings to solve a puzzle once back ashore.


For some competitors — like CT — it was a struggle. Though he and Kam were one of three teams to accomplish the mission, he noticed it hard to work with the Are You the One? export, whose partnership he’d earned only right after throwing his previous partner, Big T, to the wolves.


“I’m beginning to second guess my decision on being partners with Kam,” CT said.


One team that didn’t struggle, though: Kyle and Aneesa. Though the residence had cast aside the game’s newest pair as a layup, Kyle’s and Aneesa’s collective calm proved to be just what the mission called for, and Aneesa racked up her third win in the process.


“It just feels astonishing to know we beat everybody,” Aneesa mentioned. “We kicked their asses today.”


Kyle and Aneesa were tempted to nominate Leroy and Kaycee — who’d put them at a deficit by placing them first in the “Undercover” categorize — to the Crater to face off against eventual residence vote Darrell and Amber B. However Aneesa was devoted to helping her pal Cory earn his Gold Skull, and thus, she and Kyle cast their votes accordingly.


In the latest installation of “Snapping Point,” Cory and Darrell — while bound with each other by a spring-loaded tether — had to weave through a series of poles before racing to assigned targets. The game was designed to test players’ fortitude, although the lightning-quick Cory upended the system and sent Darrell — one of the game’s most feared champions — packing in the blink of an eye.


It also sent Big T back inside potential Rogue Agent territory. Because Cory won a Gold Skull, he earned the chance to pick any partner he wanted, save for Aneesa. And while he stole CT’s partner, Kam, he left CT with a choice between the abandoned Big T and Darrell’s partner, Amber B.


CT, who’d already earned his Gold Skull, however saw a possibility to right his wrong by throwing himself back inside The Crater.


“I think it would only be right for me to support her get [her Gold Skull] like she helped me get mine,” CT mentioned. “I want my girl back.”


Big T, beaming, accepted CT’s plea.


“I’m really grateful for that -- this is a really big step,” she mentioned. “Maybe the grudge-keeper might release her grudge.”


Although is there a chance Big T might be naïve to trust CT? Were his kind words just lip service, and is she bound to get screwed over again? Share your thoughts, and check out the next Double Agents episode Wednesday!
