⁠The Challenge All Stars: Rivals -Who was eliminated from the show in Week 6?

In the latest episode of The Challenge All Stars: Rivals, Big T and Corey Lay became the fifth pair eliminated from the competition, falling short in a nerve-wracking balancing challenge against Ashley and Dario.

The Challenge All Stars: Rivals episode titled "A Star-Holder Is Born," showcased a significant power shift as Frank and Sam secured a coveted star. Meanwhile, Adam and Steve won the daily challenge for the first time after being sent to elimination four weeks in a row.

With $300,000 on the line, this season brings together previous competitors who have bad blood, forcing rivals to work together to survive the grueling competition hosted by TJ Lavin. T

Big T and Corey's elimination demonstrates how quickly alliances can shift in the house, as an afternoon of chaos led by Veronica and Katie resulted in a scramble that sent two unexpected teams to battle it out in the elimination arena.

What happened in this episode of The Challenge All Stars: Rivals Season 5?

This week's challenge "Playing Dirty" on The Challenge All Stars: Rivals tested the contestants' physical endurance and mental sharpness. Teams had to race up ladders and slide down muddy slopes, uncovering hidden symbols. Once revealed, they needed to swim to a solving station, match the symbols with corresponding letters, and decode a magic word.

The competition was fierce across three heats. Frank and Sam dominated Heat 1, while Nany and Turbo took Heat 2, followed closely by Faysal and Amber. Heat 3 saw Ashley and Dario emerge victorious, with Da'Vonne and Shane trailing behind as non-star holders.

When the mud settled, Frank and Sam claimed the star left behind by previously eliminated competitors Devin and Leroy. Adam and Steve, who had been fighting for survival for weeks, finally secured the overall victory and the power to choose one team for elimination.

Before the daily challenge, strategic conversations began brewing. Veronica and Frank discussed targeting athletically stronger teams to make their path to the final easier.

"Their biggest targets? Dario and Ashley, Amber and Faysal, and Nany and Turbo," revealed their strategy session.

After Adam and Steve's surprise win, the house erupted into chaos. Katie and Veronica, seasoned veterans of reality TV strategy, stirred confusion throughout the house. Their political maneuvering resulted in most competitors voting to send Ashley and Dario to elimination, despite their status as star holders.

Veronica's confrontation style was on full display as she demanded others to "show your f--king cards" and questioned loyalties by asking:

"Who the f--k are you loyal to?"

The elimination challenge, "Stack Attack", tested balance and precision in this The Challenge All Stars: Rivals episode. Teams had to capture stars while balancing on an unstable platform, then stack them in the middle without falling.

The rules were strict – if a player or any star hit the ground, the team received a 10-second penalty. The first team to successfully balance seven stars would remain in the game.

Despite their efforts, Big T and Corey couldn't maintain their balance. Their stars came tumbling down repeatedly, while Ashley and Dario showed surprising coordination and focus.

As the newest pair to join The Challenge All Stars: Rivals, Big T and Corey had initially tried to stay under the radar, but found themselves caught in the crossfire of shifting alliances.

What’s coming next in this season of The Challenge All Stars: Rivals?

With Big T and Corey's elimination, eight rival pairs remain in contention on The Challenge All Stars: Rivals:

• Adam Larson & Steve Meinke
• Amber Borzotra & Faysal "Fessy" Shafaat
• Ashley Kelsey & Dario Medrano
• Da'Vonne Rogers & Shane Landrum
• Frank Sweeney & Sam McGinn
• Katie Cooley & Veronica Portillo
• Melissa Reeves & Nicole Zanatta
• Nany González & Turbo

The star holders – now Adam and Steve, Ashley and Dario, Nany and Turbo, and Frank and Sam – have secured their advantage for the upcoming final challenge.

Next week's episode promises even more drama as Frank's strategic gameplay gets exposed. The preview suggests he'll face backlash from the house for his sneaky tactics. Meanwhile, Veronica continues her political campaign, pressuring competitors to reveal their allegiances.

With teammates forced to work with their rivals, personal conflicts continue to complicate the game. The balance between competing successfully and managing interpersonal drama remains the key challenge for all remaining teams as they pursue their share of the $300,000 prize.
