Picking up from last week’s episode of The Challenge, we’re down two couples. Dustin and Heather went home due to Dustin’s injury, and Leroy and Naomi were sent home in the Dome. At the start of this episode, the house went out to the beach and enjoy the day. The Dominican Republic is absolutely beautiful! I’m so jealous of the cast getting to go down there!

Back at the house, the crew gets a clue for the next challenge:  ”Try not to spin out of control at tomorrow’s challenge!” After the clue, the cast hosted an animal party, with everyone getting . Things spiral out of control when Tyrie gets into yet another fight with Jasmine. I feel like Jasmine is always undermining Tyrie behind his back instead of supporting him as his partner. Diem did the same to CT.

CT later talks to Diem about their game plan, trying to get on the same page.  Right now, they don’t connect or communicate another, and that really hurts their game.

Everyone heads back to the Blue Lagoon for the next challenge, “Rolling in the Deep.” In this challenge, with a giant log at the cliff, the team members will hang on as long as they can while the log spins around and around. The longer you stay on, the closer you will get to the bell that you must ring to end your time. Both team members must get to the end before the bell can be rung. Once you hit the water, you will swim to the bell and ring it. The two teams with the fastest times will compete for Power Couple.

After the challenge, the teams’ time come down to seconds. The last place team was Tyrie and Jasmine, who lost to  Mark and Robin by one second. CT and Diem show great improvement in the challenge, but the top two teams were Emily and Ty and Camila and Johnny. After a fierce competition, Camila and Johnny snagged power couple, and have to choose the other team who will face Tyrie and Jasmine in the Dome.

Back at the house, we see that Johnny has past issues with Rachel for trying to send him home on The Island, four years ago (Bitter, much?). Rachel later throws Mark under the bus by telling Camila that Robin and Mark shouldn’t be here. This entire he-said/she-said situation blows up at the club, with Johnny having a full blown confrontation with Rachel and her partner Aneesa.

The next day, T.J. approaches the house to find who will be facing Jasmine and Tyrie in the Dome. Camila and Johnny, of course, throw in Rachel and Aneesa.

Jasmine and Tyrie face Aneesa and Rachel in the Dome. The Dome brings back a past challenge, “X Marks The Spot,” which tests the teams’ endurance, strength and stamina. After over 20 minutes, Jasmine and Rachel were still standing to fight to keep their spot in the competition. However, Jasmine loses her footing, sending her and Tyrie back to the States, and bringing Rachel and Aneesa back to the house with a vengeance!
