Placing second and third on the women’s side were two more “Survivor” alumni, Chanelle Howell and Michaela Bradshaw. Watch their exclusive video interview with Gold Derby senior editor Denton Davidson above.
“I’m so happy for her to win,” Chanelle says of Desi’s victory. “I didn’t start this game wanting to make friends. I somehow did. The way that Michaela, Desi and I all came together, we did not come into this game working together. We did not plan to work together.

Lies are a dime a dozen in The Challenge house and sometimes those lies can destroy real-life friendships.
Before we get into Wednesday’s major blindside, we see a conversation Chris has with some of the Survivor women. There’s still a big divide between the group — most notably between Chris, and Chanelle and Michaela. Despite the fact that they’re now having open communication about rebuilding trust, the jury’s still out on whether the former castaways can actually mend their broken fences.

In Wednesday’s episode of The Challenge: USA, one player’s gameplay was so erratic, it even had Messy Fessy’s head spinning.
But before we get to all of that mayhem, Sebastian and Tori continue getting closer, and Fessy, for some reason, feels the need to chime in saying that a showmance isn’t good for either of their games. Fessy, who had a showmance with Haleigh Broucher on BB20, and who… actually, I don’t have enough time in this recap to review his laundry list of Challenge hook-ups. Back to your glass house, Fes!

Last week, Tj turned the Challenge house upside down when he dismantled the game’s teams. On Wednesday’s episode, we witnessed all of the twist’s effects, as the season’s social politics were kicked into even higher gear.
At the top, the newer Big Brother players (Tyler, Alyssa and Monte) agree that they must stick together if they want any chance at survival. Alyssa cries because she’s overwhelmed, but luckily she has Tyler’s bold, blonde locks to sop up her tears. She’s crying because the game is hard, then crying more later when she escapes elimination.

No one in The Challenge: USA saw that coming!
A huge twist has shaken up the game in a major way, but before we get to that, another round of applause for our man Wes here! After returning to the house, Cassidy and Wes hug it out and declare a cease-fire, but when Wes walks away, Cassidy gives the camera a nasty look. Guess she didn’t buy Wes’ “I just want to play fair” speech that he made a meal of. (Honestly, if she’s seen any of the show’s past seasons, she’s right to not trust him.
