The Challenge 40 star Tori Deal make it to the finale by winning against Cara Maria

The Challenge 40 witnessed its last elimination challenge in episode 17 which was aired on December 18, 2024. The elimination arena had two legendary players Cara Maria and Tori Deal as the competitors.

The players shared a bond of friendship which it more difficult for them to see the other person going home this close to the finale. However, TJ announced that it was the time for them to 'tread water for as long as they can".

The elimination round was called "The Final Elimination" and the challenge appeared simple; both the challengers had to float in the water keeping their heads up for as long as they could. It only sounded simple because they were faced with various sea creatures hovering, creating discomfort for them.

Cara Maria has been quite vocal about how much she dreads swimming challenges, so it seemed a little heavier for her.

However, both of them seemed glued to the water as none of them were quitting. TJ Lavine had to raise the bar to push forward the game. He asked Cara and Tori to raise their hand in the air and then tread the water and eventually asked them to raise even their elbows when he saw no sign of them giving up anytime soon.

The task went on for more than two hours and Cara Maria decided to give up as she felt that Tori was "just lying there like a statue". Tori Deal won the last eliminating round of The Challenge 40 and bid farewell to Cara Maria.
