The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras Recap: Snakes and Ladders


As fun as it is to watch Bananas’s evil plan at work, someone has to challenge him eventually.

To play, each challenger will individually race through an obstacle course that includes rock climbing, jumping across platforms, completing a puzzle, and, finally, Tarzan-swinging on a rope into a pile of boxes that the crew has to diligently reset each time. He announces that the elimination is called “Forty-fication” (I hate this, it sounds way too much like fornication and not in a fun way), and involves solving a bunch of math equations to unchain 40 heavy boxes and then carrying them partway across the arena into your designated square. Michele keeps a steady pace and handles the pressure much better than Nia, who looks like she’s solving for the 82nd digit of Pi, while Kyland the Calculator yells “Left to right!” from the stands as if the issue is that she forgot how to read.
