The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras Recap: Are You Not Entertained?
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face … or smashed with a giant SWAT team shield.
In a confessional, someone convinces Averey to say, “In the movie Gladiator, teamwork makes the dream work,” which an entry-level Paramount employee is writing up in a recap email to their boss being like, “We’re so pleased with the cast’s organic enthusiasm for the franchise, thereby driving consumer affinity!” When it’s time for the losers’ corner, Derrick explains that he thinks Rachel will have better odds against Averey than Cara, which he calls playing an “I don’t give a fuck game.” He tells a heated Cory that if he can’t “beat a three-legged dog,” he doesn’t deserve to be here, essentially sacrificing his ailing body for the sake of his teammate’s chance of survival. Theo is clearly a little rattled by Cory’s threats, especially knowing the likelihood that he returns to the house is high, so he and Jenny devise a plan to hold a fake “team vote” that they’ll puppeteer to get the result they want while simultaneously dispersing the blame and responsibility across the rest of their Era.
