Place Your Bets: Who Will Win The Challenge: Double Agents?

A Challenge game that began with 30 contestants — a Olympian, a WWE superstar and Big Brother winners among them — has been reduced to a final assortment of eight Double Agents. So right now that the final four teams have been locked, the question is: Who will win?


Soon after a commanding victory by Kam and Cory in “Escape the Volcano,” a mini-final that noticed the game’s remaining girls racing through a 10-mile course to rescue their partners from a volcano, Kyle noticed himself in hot water. He knew without a win, he was likely to be thrown into the Crater, and immediately after Fessy was named the house’s elimination-round vote, the Double Agents sealed Kyle’s fate. He would have to face off against the hulking Fessy in “Hall Brawl,” and most of Kyle’s fellow competitors thought he’d be lucky to come out alive.


And if he did, indeed, emerge, alive, it wasn’t without injury — Kyle broke his finger and had to be medically discharged from the game. It was a heartbreaker for the Brit who’s come close to winning The Challenge a handful of times, yet for the game’s remaining eight players, it meant they’d officially reached the game’s last leg.


And, in true Season 36 style, Fessy’s Crater victory came with a handful of team shakeups. Fessy, who’d been angling to get Kaycee on his team since the game’s starting, finally got his wish, leaving Leroy to partner up with Kyle’s former partner Nany. And, as Kam and Cory had cemented their partnership with their earlier victory, Fessy’s former partner Amber B. And Rogue Agent CT were left to form the fourth and final team.


For Leroy and Nany, who’d been companions since filming Real World: Las Vegas with each other more than a decade earlier, the switch felt like a full-circle moment. And not only is their bond ironclad nevertheless they’ve also each put up stellar Season 36 performances: Leroy won five missions while partnered up with Kaycee, while Nany noticed success as a solo player.


“The more I picture it, the more exhilarating running this final with [Leroy] makes me,” Nany said.


Still, as soon as it comes to running, Fessy and Kaycee might have an edge over the game’s other teams. While neither has a particular fondness for puzzles or math, the pair of Big Brother standouts are at the best of the pack any time it comes to pure athletic prowess.


“I feel like I made the correct decision,” Fessy mentioned. “They’re looking at us like we’re the favorites to win.”


A team that’s not necessarily favored to win? CT and Amber B. While CT is a decorated champ, he spent the season fighting off calls for him to retire and insistence that he was past his prime. More, while Amber B. Has shown, with two Crater wins, that she has the capacity to compete, she proved with her efficiency in “Escape the Volcano” that she can buckle under pressure. Perhaps most damning, she and CT haven’t performed in a solitary mission with each other and are going into the final mission blind.


“CT and I have not been partners the entire season,” Amber B. Mentioned. “I don’t know what to expect, but…I am not stopping.”


Conversely, right after coming off such a commanding victory, Kam and Cory might have the ideal momentum to win. While neither has been able to snag a first-place finish, they’ve each put up huge showings in previous finals, often missing the title by a hair.


“I feel like I’m finally peaking at the correct time,” Cory mentioned. “I just picked up Kam. I’ve been performing well…this feels good.”


The only thing that might feel better? A million-dollar grand prize. So who’s gonna get it? Will the Double Agents winners be Team Leroy and Nany, Team Amber B. And CT, Team Fessy and Kaycee or Team Kam and Cory? Make your case, then hang tight to be able to see how the Challenge final unfolds on Wednesday!
