Which War of the Worlds 2 Finalists Are About to Get Their First Wins?

With heavy gurneys, scorpion snacks and dizzying math puzzles paving the path to victory, the War of the Worlds 2 finale has already proven anything can take place across the several miles to the finish line. However one certainty? Any time everything is mentioned and done, at least several of Season 34’s competitors will have claimed their very first victories in the game.


So who will they be?


On tonight’s episode, immediately after a season that noticed the Brits struggling to get on top and the Residents of the
U.S. Very eagerly cutting down their own, the warring parties set off on a race that TJ explained would start with a 16-mile race (!!!). Oh, and via the full thing, each team would have to carry a gurney on which one huge relic plus a series of heavy sandbags — 20 pounds per player — would balance.


Players would also have to carry out four total checkpoints before Part 1 of the race was over.


And because the competitors set off into the jungle, both teams felt the pressure of potential success, especially Paulie, Ninja, Leroy and Kam on Team U.S. And Dee, Tori and Rogan on Team U.K., None of whom had ever won a game before.


“I wanna win. I wanna succeed as badly as I wanna breathe,” Paulie mentioned, while Rogan noted, “Winning is critical to me, because last time [on Vendettas], I failed as miserably as you could possibly imagine. Right now I feel like I really have to prove something.”


And, straight off the bat, Rogan and Team U.K did precisely that. Though they had two fewer players than Team U.S., They sailed via the initial checkpoint, in which they had to successfully catapult three coconuts into an assigned basket.


Eventually, though, Team U.S. Caught up throughout the second leg of the gurney race, noticed a slant in the race track and cut off Team U.K. At a pass. The two sides dueled through narrow passageways and under low-hanging branches and vines as sharp bamboo poles cut into their shoulders.


“I feel like I had a strength that I didn’t know I had in me before,” Tori, no doubt the typical season’s underdog MVP, mentioned via slog.


Although it wasn’t just about strength, and right following the second checkpoint, in which players each had to answer separate math questions, Team U.K. Fell in back of for the initial time.


Although, unwilling to throw in the towel, Team U.K. Eventually caught up with Team U.S. On the third leg of the gurney race, and any time CT felt like he was being edged off the course by the Residents of the United States, he pushed back and sent Team U.S.’S gurney bounding off the course.


“They can give it out, yet they can’t take it,” CT mentioned. “Don’t stand on the tracks once the train is coming through.”


Unfortunately, though, that train broke the rules, and CT’s act of aggression eventually cost the Brits a 10-minute penalty.


It was a lot — and his teammates were frustrated — nevertheless soon, it was clear that it was the Residents of the United States who were in the worst trouble.


Immediately following the third checkpoint, which noticed players attempting to avoid a disgusting meal of scorpions, cockroaches and fat worms by individually shooting hoops, fatigue started to set in to Paulie.


As Zach pointed out, it looked like a little bit of karma that Cara and Paulie’s attempts to eliminate the strongest players from the American team ultimately amounted to a larger — nevertheless weaker — outfit.


“This is why I didn’t aspire to get rid of our strong players,” Zach complained, looking back on Bananas’, Laurel’s and Wes’ untimely exits from the game. “This is a hard thing to do.”


and yes it would only get harder. As players set out on the fourth gurney-carry, and with Team U.S. Way beyond, Paulie’s body started fully shutting down, and ultimately, he fell to the ground, unable to get up.


“I’m a little bit worried, because I’m starting to think that I may cost my team the final,” he mentioned as he struggled for breath.


Yet can he turn things around, and will Team U.S. Get the win they’ve been sure of all season? Or are the underdogs — Team U.K. — Destined to come out with a win as soon as it matters most? Plus, and maybe more importantly, who’s about to get fitted for their first Challenge crown?
