Let's get right into it. CT and Diem throw Mark and Robin in against Johnny and Camila. Johnny and Mark are upset they have to go up against one another. Robin is still crying her eyes out for no reason.
"Whatever I have to do, I'm doing it." - Robin
Mark pulls out an old-school Road Rules bandana from 1995. 1995!
"It's like I'm 23 again." - Mark
They play that "X Battle" game in Mark's first elimination EVER.
"Johnny, I'm about to show you how an old guy kicks ass." - Mark
Robin and Camila go first and it's a pretty good fight! Camila wins both rounds though, so it's up to Mark to win.
"Of course, all the pressure relies on the 40-year-old." - Mark
Johnny wins first and even gets Mark all bloodied up The next round is really f*cking rough though as Mark throws Johnny around like a rag doll. He wins the second round.
"The only thing worse being sent home first is being sent home last." - Johnny
Johnny almost rips Mark's arm off as he wins! Cue Mark's 17-year flashback. Kinda sad.
"I think I can finally close this chapter of my life." - Mark
We'll see! Anyway, the final 3 teams are heading to Iceland! CT and Diem, Johnny and Camila, and Ty and Emily.
"It's like Christmas morning." - Johnn
When they arrive it's 3 degrees and they have 24 hours until the finale, so they go drinking! It's clear they are going to be climbing a snowy mountain tomorrow. Sounds like a great plan...
"The first night in Iceland is one of the best nights of any Challenge." - Johnny
Everyone is in a great mood.
"I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world." - CT (to Diem)
Aw. It's basically a lovefest between all the guys and girls. The next day, they show up to the final challenge and it's f*cking insane.
Reminder: winners get $150,000. Second place get $100,000 and third place gets $40,000. If they don't finish, they don't get paid.
It's a race throughout the mountains and glaciers as they collect artifacts along the way. For the first leg, they will be racing on dog sleds.
"I feel like I'm Angelina Jolie in an exotic action movie with dog sleds." - Camila
Um, what? This girl never makes sense. CT and Diem pull ahead first as he runs the entire way pushing the sled like a BEAST.
"I think our dogs are a little lazy." - Emily
It's -20 degrees in the dark. For the next part of this leg, they have to jump in the water!!!! If they stay in over 30 seconds, hypothermia sets in. The fastest time combined with the dog-sledding time gets the best sleeping arrangements (on the glacier, mind you).
"This is the most insane thing I've ever had to do in my entire life." - Johnny
Johnny is shitting bricks while CT is pumped up like a motherf*cker.
"It literally feels like I'm being stabbed in every square inch of my body with razor blades." - Johnny
Ty and Emily kill it, but is that enough to make up for their slow dogs? Nope. CT and Diem win the first leg! Johnny and Camila get second and Ty and Emily come in last. They head to their sleeping campsite in the middle of nowhere.
CT and Diem get heating lamps and deer skin while Ty and Emily get yoga mats to sleep on. WTF? This can't be safe.
"Diem, why don't you stop pretending like you don't love every minute of this." - Johnny
Aw, Johnny. Leave her alone!
"I think if the partners were smart, they would hook up with each other to keep each other warm." - Emily
Good point. Next week is going to be even more insane. This is easily the craziest finale of all time, ever. Remember when they had to do stupid things to win? The good ole days...
SumOlogy: Team CT and Diem!
Grade: B+
