Welcome back everyone... It was back in July, during the midst of the heat of an American summer that we began this journey of how two groups of Americans and Brits, plus four reinforcements (including those from Turkey and Australia) would handle the first two team season of The Challenge in a decade. Through a dominant regular season by Team USA, the constant struggles of the UK side and everything that's occurred since it debuted during VMA week and right into the early weeks of the holiday season in December (and the opposite of seasons down under), we've arrived at the last hurdle of War Of The Worlds 2, and both 2019 and this decade of Challenges.

On Friday night here we brought you a Backtracked installment of 'Pulse for Part 1, and one side were Challenge champs Ashley, Cara & Zach with Paulie, Kam, Leroy and Ninja; while the other side consisted of two-time titlists CT and Jordan, with Tori, Rogan & Dee joining them. As is always the case for any final examination, a combination of endurance, puzzles, numbers and strength rule the day in this 2-day final, and those who make it all the way to the end will win it all - and a share of $1,000,000 awaits them. Both teams struggled during the first stage of this final - 16 miles in the jungle of carrying a gurney in addition to the usual odds & ends.

But at the end of Part 1 of the Finale, it was a man who touted himself quite a bit during his run on this show, Paulie, who got exposed when he collapsed to the ground in struggling in the scorching heat and flirting with possibly letting his chance at the cash slip away. As we rejoin this here this week, he and the rest of the Americans try to get back up and catch up to a British team seemingly undaunted by having gained late-season momentum to make this a game and not a U.S. coronation. But more pitfalls await the teams: an uneasy overnight rest, one more Teej-bomb and more stages separate these players from the $1 million awaiting the winners in paradise.

After the jump, all the action, reaction and interaction of the finale of The Challenge: War Of The Worlds 2. And thanks for joining us here on this winter's Sunday night, enjoy the Pulse, will you?

- @Heatherrr_27: @TheAllanAguirre @Bruce_Lee85  is the people’s champion! We love you Leroy. Hell even my friend who has never seen the show, and only knows about it from me talking about it, cheers for Leroy! This broke my heart but the time will come.

@VaayLaah: All I wanted this WHOLE season was for @iamkamiam_ & @Bruce_Lee85 to win. I am so mad. They deserved this win more than ANYONE else. They carried all of team USA in the first part of the final. My heart is broken.🥺😭  #thechallenge

- @v_cakes: I’ve got a question for all the fans that say my wins don’t count bc they were team-based, does this mean this win doesn’t count for @TheOfficial_CT & @jordan_wiseley?

- @JustJem24: @v_cakes My new favorite tweet 👇🏽 | QUEEN V 👑

@ChallengeMTV: 🚨 ON YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW! 🚨Would you rather sleep in a snake pit for a night OR stay up all night? #TheChallenge34 👇 https://youtube.com/watch?v=H-u-DODhH8M

@CohenBrian_: Absolutely gutted for Leroy. Seeing him cry broke my heart. #TheChallenge34

@CohenBrian_: On the plus side seeing Cara crying in the corner was what this season deserved. #TheChallenge34

@x0lauux3: I do have to give credit to @PaulCalafiore_ though. He pulled through that challenge like a champ. And the way he showed good sportsmanship at the end of the final was nice to see.

@MTVASHLEYBROOKE: "@blairetesfaye: YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PUZZLE QUEEN AND YOU LET THOSE BUM BITCHES NINJA AND CARA OMG IM SO ASHAMED OF YOU @MTVASHLEYBROOKE" RT To be honest, my morale was beat. I saw no hope for my team bc people were sick and everyone was miserable I got in my own head after the up all night and lost faith in my self and my team. I’ll always wonder if I could have kept the fire if USA could have won. I don’t think so..

@TheAllanAguirre: When Zach and Amanda were a pair on Final Reckoning, they won 4 out of 8 daily challenges and were dominating. He threw himself into elim to "teach her a lesson" This season, you can switch teams if you win an elim. Yet, all he did was complain and stay put? #TheChallenge34

@TheAllanAguirre: When MTV asks you to come on a season where it's Team USA vs Team UK and you're a Vietnamese Girl from Australia... and then you win the whole damn thing #TheChallenge34

@Itslluna: As much as I dislike how @PaulCalafiore_ plays the social game, he showed great sportsmanship during the final 🙌🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽 #TheChallenge34

@ChallengeMTV: CONGRATULATIONS! You unlocked the giveaway! RT This tweet to win a pair of Challenge headphones! #TheChallenge34  https://on.mtv.com/2rD6UmK

@v_cakes: I don’t even have to watch the whole episode to know the real MVP is whoever is in charge of the music this season. Good job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @BunimMurray @MTV @ChallengeMTV #thechallenge35

@v_cakes: Also funny that I don’t even know the correct hashtag.  I stopped counting after 32. #thechallenge34

@msdeenguyen: Thank you to my Challenge family. Grateful and overwhelmed with the love and support. I’ll continue to strive to give it my all every time. ♥️🥇 @ChallengeMTV #TheChallenge34

@SHOTOFYAGER: 🚨Excited to announce that #TheChallenge34 standout @Tori_Deal will be joining us on #ChallengeMania THIS FRIDAY! Send in your questions about this season, this final & everything else!

@TheAllanAguirre: Me watching Team UK win the Final  #TheChallenge34

@dc408dxnow: Carrying the gurney is quite a saga for the yanks to keep up with the Brits, and in a decade that saw a 5000-1 long shot win the premier league, this would be just as shocking an upset as any in the FA Cup if the overseas contingent takes this one out. #DCChallenge

@dc408dxnow: You’d probably think that if CT wins this, then he’s just gonna come into future challenges with not much left to prove other than just playing for family. This would make his Hall of Fame status more secure and elevate that level more.

@dc408dxnow: We have someone who got purged as a rookie on his first challenge. If Rogan wins, he joins Bananas, Cara & a few others in going from being eliminated first on their rookie season to become king. You’d never thought this would be possible after what happened on Vendettas.

@dc408dxnow: The journey ends for Kam, Ashley, Tori and most especially for Leroy. This was his best chance to win this… it’s a hard pill to swallow. But after it began during the summer, one more battle awaits to decide this at autumn’s end. #DCChallenge

@dc408dxnow: Over a year ago, he played a rookie cop on Tyler Perry‘s If Loving You is Wrong. Now @jordan_wiseley has won three titles in just doing five of these seasons. And he proposed to his girl here. Can we say this has been his best season yet? Can’t argue against it… #DCChallenge

@dc408dxnow: It has been quite a decade for those to be a Brit. Now it ends with #TeamUK pulling out a giant killing of an upset to win #thechallenge34. Third titles for sure to be hall of famers from America. And Australian & British flags join in on the celebration. Quite a season, eh?

@PaulParmar1: Proved all the doubters wrong! Yess Dee! Congrats #TheChallenge34 @msdeenguyen

@Ninja_Natalie: ✌🏼 The night after...

@Ninja_Natalie: Glad the torture is over 💀 Appreciative & 👋

- @SHOTOFYAGER: @Ninja_Natalie 👇🏻A look at the wear, tear & pain that goes into a @ChallengeMTV final. It’s why making it & certainly finishing one at all is no small feat. You can root for who you want to root for, like who you want to like. But this is tough stuff. Respect it. #TheChallenge34 #ChallengeMania

- @MTVASHLEYBROOKE: @Ninja_Natalie Love you girlfriend!!! So freaking proud of you 😩❤️

@Ninja_Natalie: Time to take the town with this winner @msdeenguyen #thechallenge34

@HedrichFiles: This leg of the final should be a piece of cake for Dee, she's been sleeping with a snake all season. #thechallenge34

- @msdeenguyen: @HedrichFiles That was probably why I was so comfortable in that bed. Felt familiar

@AllofKandi: And let’s be honest...everything Zach said was about the US team was true. #thechallenge

@Juanderful19: From this being a shitty season it was all worth it when Team UK won & seeing Cara crying 😍 u LOVE to see it #TheChallenge34

@KyleJohnnnnnn: As arrogant and annoying as he can be on the challenge @jordan_wiseley is a fucking beast! Dude is not human! #TheChallenge34 #Respect

@joss_mooney: It’s so weird being here when it’s 26 degrees and they’re playing Christmas music. I feel like it’s still summer...🤷🏼‍♂️

@JOSHMBB19: What you think about all day is what you end up manifesting.

@ChallengeMTV: Pick your #TheChallenge34 MVP! 👇 http://mtv.com/news/3147118/challenge-war-of-the-worlds-2-mvp-poll/

@blackzeusfit: I really wanna know from die hard MTV Challenge fans... How do y’all feel about the show? Based on the last 3 seasons.

@itskcheyenne: Ryder introduces her self to all the nurses and doctors it’s the cutest thing ❤️ we are back in the hospital but God is good an we trust in his plan

@helloalievans: #tbt to a super fun weekend in Atlanta thanks to @ChallengeMTV & @SpartanRace! Sorry to @tonyraines that I wasn’t a better puzzle partner. @JustJem24 was just too good!

@ChallengeMTV: Puzzles, the great equalizer in a finale! #TBT to The Challenge: Dirty XXX where the finalists had to pair up and complete a sudoku style puzzle in the final! #TheChallenge34

@saniacpodcast: Honestly, if I’m on The Challenge and it’s a pairs/big team season..as long as I’m not stuck on her team, I want Cara running the final against me. She’s the definition of a layup at this point. Cant swim, cant eat, no mental toughness. She’s Jenna/Jay. EASY MONEY @Caramariastea

@emilylongeretta: "I need a little break for my own sanity and my own happiness, just finding what makes me me again and get my light back," Cara Maria told me about taking time off after #TheChallenge34. https://usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/cara-maria-paulie-calafiore-are-taking-a-break-from-challenges/

@mikethemiz: This is the true story....#TBT #TheRealWorld @mtv  https://instagram.com/p/B5_VQ9nJvWF/?igshid=6s7yea3dhp1j

@AbbykleeK: Here we go: Leroy& Kam- sick to my stomach they were purged  / Dee- good for you!!! / Tori- you absolutely won me over this season / Paulie & Ninja- I’m good w/ never seeing you on my TV screen again  / Music- you were amazing this season   #TheChallenge34 #TheChallenge

@J_Cal83: CT is a 3 person team win away from hitting for the Challenge Cycle. Invasions- Solo win / Rivals 2- Win with Wes / WotW2- Win with Dee, Jordan, and Rogan.   #challenge34

@TeamCringe32: So proud of these two. Thanks @PaulCalafiore_ for inspiring us to never quit. Thanks Cara for showing us the beauty of mending fences and renewing friendships. We love and support you two on the Challenge and off❤️

@HedrichFiles: THATS 3X CHAMP CT TO YOU / DEE WINS THE CHALLENGE IN HER 2ND SEASON /  ROGAN SHEDS THE TITLE OF BIGGEST BUST / JORDAN, well still sort of a douche, BUT STILL A 3X CHAMP  #thechallenge34

@kmacisco: Say what you want about Leroy but he was one of the few stars of the US team in that final #TheChallenge34

@MTVRWRRQuotes: King and queen of becoming champs on their second challenge season!! @WestonBergmann you taught her well! @msdeenguyen 💙

@hollyydaee: My heart smiles for @TheOfficial_CT , his little one, and all those dollers for the ice cream truck so much right now!!! Yes!! Past deserved & well over due!! Congratulations CT! 🤘💯🥳 @tjlavin has never looked so happy announcing a winner🤗🐐

@ChallengeMTV: Would you rather: stay up all night after a 16 mile walk through the jungle OR sleep in a literal snake pit? #TheChallenge34

- @MtvJess: @ChallengeMTV My ass would have passed out cold at the sight of snakes sooooo 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

- @mtvrrdarrell: @ChallengeMTV 😴 them snakes are harmless 🛌

- @msdeenguyen: @mtvrrdarrell @ChallengeMTV Definitely harmless compared to the one I was sleeping with all season 🐍

@theo_campbell91: Well done team “UK” 2 Americans 1 ozzy and 1 Brit... either way you got the done so congrats 🎉 @ChallengeMTV

@deardondre: My heart goes out to Leroy so close man. 😪

@mtvrrdarrell: I got to give credit where credits due this man has been killing the game 💸💸💸
@jordan_wiseley  🙌🏾#challenge34
@gigi__moreno: Some people go on Challenges never seeing a final and others see almost every single one and yet the most they walk away with are their loyal child cultees, some cash, and a sad participation trophy named Paulie. Who’s the real loser here? 🤔 #TheChallenge34

@ChallengeMTV: Me on my way over to my exes place after getting a 2:07am "u up?" text. #TheChallenge34

@PaulParmar1: Jordan and Tori  - won two eliminations each & four in total / - engaged / - only turncoats / - both in the finals / - 250K won   So proud of y’all  @tori_deal @jordan_wiseley #TheChallengeWarofTheWorlds2 #TheChallenge34. #TheChallengeFinale

So, quite a season it's been... and a final loaded with five champions, a few vets and three sophomore players ends with a result that, at the midway point of this season, wasn't even in the cards: the Brits taking down the Americans in the final. CT and Jordan now become three-time champions, while in their second appearances Dee and Rogan become titlists... beating Paulie and other touted players who've never one one of these to the champions club.

In the coming days here, our long-touted look at the Newbies of Ex On The Peak, among other things. See you then, and have a nice week ahead...
