Released on MTV on March 19, 2025, The Challenge All Stars: Rivals episode 8 featured an elimination at the end of the episode, meaning that now, there is a star up for grabs. The episode featured two challenges: the first challenge provided immunity to winners while the second barely saved the contestants from elimination.
The episode began with the drama that Turbo has been causing. Instead of settling into one of the available beds, he turned the living room - the common area where everyone would hang out - into his personal space.
Following this, Turbo claimed to have had issues with everyone hanging out and partying in the common space as apparently, it would disrupt his sleep. He also had problems with Adam farting around him and with everyone leaving their dishes undone.
Later in the episode, Melissa took it upon herself to confront Turbo at a party and call out his behavior. However, he did not listen to a word of what she said.
Furthermore, the daily challenge that episode 8 of the reality game show featured was called "Shooting for the Star", which was won by Adam and Steve.
The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals - Who won the main challenge?
The first challenge in the episode required the contestants to solve a puzzle. Once done, the players needed to get on a four-wheeler and jump off the side of a cliff.
But the jumping was not just for show - mid-air, the contestants had to literally reach out and touch a star suspended 12 feet over the edge (hence the name of the challenge), thus, making the task even more difficult. The winner automatically emerged safe from elimination.
Adam and Steve emerged victorious in this challenge which led them to bag immunity against elimination. This turn of events would appear to be in stark contrast to how things were earlier, wherein they had been in a precarious territory not once but four times.
Next came The Challenge House Vote, where each person in the show would get to choose who they want to move towards elimination. During this time, the fact that Frank and Sam possessed a star became a major talking point, as highlighted by Shane. He explained that he was trying to protect Frank from the consequences of the House Vote.
However, the reality seemed to be quite the opposite, as Shane had been trying to get Frank out of the house for a while. His partner, Veronica, was against the elimination plan and believed they should bring weaker teams to the finals.
In addition, it might seem like that by no chance, Veronica would vote against Shane with whom she shares a twenty-year-old friendship. However, on the other hand, Veronica and Frank were also seen to be forming an alliance on the show.
The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals - Who went home?
Finally, the names of those whose teams were at the risk of being eliminated from The Challenge were announced: the first team was Nany and Turbo. Nany had already been fearing elimination because Turbo had been grabbing negative attention from everyone. The other team eliminated was that of Ashley and Dario.
The challenge that finally decided who would go home was as follows: each of the two teams was required to have one player hold up an end of the rope which would, in turn, hold up a puzzle board flat. Their teammate would have to then collect the puzzle pieces from the jungle and solve the puzzle in three minutes. Once the time was up, the positions were switched.
Nany and Turbo won this round which meant that it was Ashley and Dario who were going to be eliminated from The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals. They had entered the house as exes who were not even on speaking terms but left as good friends.
The Challenge All Stars 5: Rivals releases weekly on MTV at 8 PM Eastern Time on Wednesdays.
