This Challenge requires contestants to sit with their butts and their feet on blocks of ice while also holding their arms above their head. A silly competition, but it does lead one Challenger to nearly get hypothermia. The men stick to their voting off approach, but the women make waves with their choice.

With the wedding out of the way, the Challengers resume the competition. This time is the super dangerous, no-one-try-this-at-home Challenge of climbing over some Saturn SUVs to collect some rings. There's some injuries, some DQs, and much drama from the girl's team as usual.

In beautiful Jamaica, our Challengers take some time off from competing and watch Puck and Betty get married. The women are not all thrilled about the festivities and decide to sit this one out, but everyone else seems to have a good time. A nice break from the typical competitions, just a celebration of love. Or something.

We finally get the airplane challenge which makes some people sick and scared, but makes us excited. The first male and female finisher makes it direct to the finals. Who will it be? We're hoping for no more cliffhangers this season, but we're about to be greatly disappointed. Only 2 episodes left this season as far as we k...

We finally see our cliffhanger of who Georgia will pick for elimination. The challenge this week is endurance based, and we see a friendship fall apart over a daily performance. We end in yet another cliffhanger to see which male is eliminated. The season is winding down with only a few episodes to go until the final. Who will survive?

The UK alliance is showing a few signs of weakness, but is it enough to save the Americans and vets from elimination? We see a swimming challenge with an inexperienced swimmer, a puzzle challenge, and a good old-fashioned headbanger elimination. Who will walk away with The Relic? Look out world.

Nany proves herself to be a master of the game, realizing the British alliance proves a real threat. Will she and Wes be able to break up the alliance and drive a wedge into the game? The Challenge this week involves VR and go-pros, and is harder than it looks. With Amanda out and Hill subbing, we're short on notes but we do talk a lot about The Human Centipede.
