One thing about Tori is that shes committed to being predictable in the love department.

We also get footage of Berna returning from the Lair and crying to her circle of female rookies.

Meanwhile, Emys in another room, shrugging off Nelsons attempt to make her feel guilty for stealing CT.

But when youre hurt, youre hurt.

And you dont know how it feels until youre in it.

So get ready to feel the burn-a, Berna!

If I have to hear the phrase detonation station one more time, Im going to scream!

Big T has been outperforming him since they were paired, including in this challenge.

I need these people to understand how monarchies work.

I had no idea Ashley was even good at puzzles.

And CT, of course, beats everyone elses times.

In our club scene, we get fewer slow-motion dance and walking montages, which I appreciated.

Priscila seems to have something up her sleeve too that we dont know about yet.

But Amber keeps framing her decision to volunteer as some sort of bonding ritual for her and Jeremiah.

Its a jumbled and unnecessarily teary-eyed speech that manages to include an attack on Amber.

CT was right when he clocked Berna for being messy.

Ambers long-winded response is as bland as you could imagine.

But Im all for competitors making bold choices for our entertainment.

Jeremiah is the male vote.

And Hughie and Berna were, of course, the house vote.

I knew that Hughie had some kind of butt augmentation the first time I saw him running from behind.

Anyway, this elimination is called Race to Escape, which is so generic and uninspired.

I need a GIF of Amber unemotionally shouting Its his ass!

Both teams eventually meet at the top, but Jeremiah and Priscilla cut their rope first.

But go big or go home, I guess.

She picks Josh, ending the rookie-rookie pairings presumably for the rest of the game.

The vets actually look more titillated and excited for the game to really begin than upset.

This is what eventually happens at some point every season, after all.

Jeremiah chooses Tori over Kaycee, which blows my mind.
