These Are CT’s Unlikeliest Challenge Eliminations
These Are CT’s Unlikeliest Challenge Eliminations
Total Madness proved it was precisely that on the show’s latest episode once one of the male frontrunners — as well as a reigning champion — was unexpectedly sent home…even though he’d won the previous challenge, although he had a history of winning similar games and although he was technically safe from Purgatory and potential elimination.
Nuts? Completely. Although CT’s ousting was also a crucial reminder that even the game’s strongest and most enduring competitors have unexpectedly stumbled along the way.
Right after winning the game’s “Decode and Detonate” (a blend of memory, stamina and “blowing sh*t up,” as TJ so eloquently put it), CT earned his way into the Tribunal. One of the game’s most eager to earn a Red Skull and, consequently, qualifications to the final mission, he continued to toss around the idea of sacrificing his safety and volunteering for Purgatory.
And once the cast descended into the elimination-round arena and CT saw that the home had nominated Jay — the only man to have earned a Red Skull for now — into Purgatory, CT tore off his civilian clothes, forfeited his invulnerability and prepared himself to take out the Survivor standout.
For most of the residence, it was like a sure thing. However unfortunately, “Take Shelter,” a game which challenged players to design a tangled web of ropes and chains that his opponent would have to later unravel, paved the way, alternatively, for an extension of Jay’s underdog story. To a stunned reaction from the crowd, the smallest guy in the residence bested its toughest.
“No way could I have ever considered this,” Jay mentioned, reconciling his own disbelief.
Still, it wasn’t the initial time CT fell short in improbable style. Here are the few times any time the Inferno-born competitor slipped up and proved even superheroes can have off days:
The Duel
While CT took Brad for a ride in “Push Me,” CT made a fatal error in the game’s final stretch: As a substitute opposed to unlocking a carabiner and setting a flag free to claim victory, he tore the flag from its anchor, effectively disqualifying himself from the game. And right before the finals!
Rivals
CT and Adam took on Johnny and Tyler in “T-Bone,” the final men’s elimination game of Season 21, because the odds-on winners. The game challenged both teams to run up and down assigned paths in a X-shaped obstacle course while transferring assigned medicine balls from one side to another. Unfortunately, partway by means of the game, the sort realized that Adam was moving balls in the incorrect direction, and the mistake eventually amounted to a buzzer-beater defeat.
Free Agents
In a particularly distressing pattern for CT, the Real World: Paris alum noticed himself in the game’s final elimination round — for 1/3 time — against Johnny Bananas in a battle for the lone remaining ticket to the finals. And while CT can generally get puzzles done in a snap, “Puzzle Pyramid,” a series of brain-teasers, unfolded more smoothly for Johnny, and eventual champion Bananas sent CT packing.
War of the Worlds
“Ring Tossed,” a game in which players had to tear hoops out of their opponents’ hands (this was a three-way elimination-round, people!) Seemed right up CT’s alley. Sadly, somehow, CT just couldn’t get a grip — literally — and forfeited his spot in the game, alongside fellow loser JP, to Kyle. It was the earliest CT had ever been eliminated from a show before Total Madness.
