If you are curious as we are, the prize money that's on the minds of the players weighs exactly one ton, and last week they got to grasp their hands on those 10,000 one-hundred dollar bills as the Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire cells partook in a heist and a mini-final of sorts to determine who is ready to endure the two days of hell known as the final challenge to any Challenge season. In the end, the team with the most members on its team proved to be the ones most ready to handle that task, as the green team's efficiency offset the smaller sides' fast pace to take back power. And in what turns out to be the next to last solo Lair night of this fall, Emy took down Big T to become just the seventh player in history to win four or more eliminations in one season, and the third to do in her maiden voyage in this game.
Now the focus shifts towards the serious side with that $1 million final looming, and this week the game heads above water one more time as the three teams will sprint across an elevated gauntlet, and the men look to keep their heads down as they try to do whatever they can to not go into what they think will be their last elimination battle. With just Emy left on the women's side, there are two rookie men left including her fellow Romanian compatriot, who also just happens to be the only man who has yet been asked to earn his stripes down in the Lair. If history has it, it may as well come down to a battle between he and the other first-time guy Logan... but TJ may have one more trick up his sleeve.
At this website, for all intents and purposes we have an alternate wording for when we reach the week of the last daily challenge of the regular season: semifinal week. And after the break, DCBLOG brings you the SocialPulse of Week 17 of Spies, Lies & Allies... and thanks for wrapping your weekend with us.
► AS THEY SAW IT: "Drop Dead"
@ChallengeMTV: Emy's THIS CLOSE to beating a Challenge record. https://t.co/m4aoHWD3mw

@theo_campbell91: When I first done the @ChallengeMTV I done it off the back of a years hard partying, drinking and no training, and still merked everyone and everything (minus that math question) even with 1 eye im better than ever. Think that’s why they won’t have me back.. I’ve recently done another @MTV show for 4 weeks so MTV still like me. Just the challenge gods don’t. I understand why I got dropped 6 days before flying out for season 35 cos of my eye injury was so fresh and it was the right thing to do as my stitches kept getting loose. Fuck it. @ChallengeMTV I’ll do the show for free don’t worry about paying me the weekly money. I’m only there for the prize money anyway. You got my number

@ChallengeMTV: If CT can survive the Night of Eliminations, he'll be one step closer to adding another achievement to his Challenge portfolio. https://t.co/fSr7OtUL2k
@Irving_A07: How I feel knowing that we’re on episode 17 of #TheChallenge37 and we’re not in the final yet we need to go back to male/female eliminations in the same episode next season because this is not it #TheChallenge
@kenyaxmark: the challenge season should not last an entire college semester
- @willjames93: @kenyaxmark THIS!! Final Reckoning was long as shit, but at LEAST it was a decent ass season to compensate for the episode count. This shit is ridiculous.
- @gilthegreat86: @kenyaxmark FW was like 25 episodes. Fuck that lol. 19 is fine.
@mavdehaan: A challenge season should have 13 episodes of the actual show, 1 episode for the reunion, and a shit they should have shown. They need to stick to a structured formula cause I’m tired of these seasons with 20 plus episodes with a bunch of filler content.
- @gilthegreat86: @mavdehaan @Irving_A07 This time last year we didn't have no challenges to watch. Yeah a few of them were drags, but I'm not gonna complain. Especially on here lol.
- @ethandoherrtyy: @mavdehaan say 16 episodes including finale and reunion is a push, not a 19 episode season and 2 part reunion
@TheAllanAguirre: Tori: What will you do if you win the money? Emanuel: I want to go to LA. Live in America, be a Dancer. Tori: I have a friend in Los Angeles you kinda look like. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
@TheAllanAguirre: It's been 4+ years since Invasion and yet every scene with CT as a Dad stills feels so bizarre and heartwarming at the same time. Life really flies by. CT's kid has gone from a baby to an almost kindergartner. I feel old. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
@TheAllanAguirre: CT is so Damn Good. CT is the biggest guy in the house, but is the most balanced and light on his feet. The guy has zero fear of heights, and even if he gets hit by a ball, he has the reflexed and strength to just catch them. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @MikeyMelendez1: @TheAllanAguirre Yeah, CT is a very dangerous all around player. I love how no one wants to face him in an elimination but still keep him around to possibly get carried through a final.
- @rapsfan25: @TheAllanAguirre This one was setup weird. Can’t remember too many challenges where 1 player could just do everything and rest of teammates didn’t matter
@TheAllanAguirre: Amanda's Confessional Look #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
@TAKEMEBACK2LA: Y'all wanna run a final against someone who just won last season? This is why the WOMEN of this show carry it. #TheChallenge37
- @_okayChanel: @TAKEMEBACK2LA They wanna run WITH him. But since it's not possible for everyone to run with him they should've tried to get him out earlier to even the playing field.
- @dwaynepaul06: @TAKEMEBACK2LA My thoughts exactly. And I bet they won’t even throw him in this eps cuz they are all scared!!
@TheAllanAguirre: Nelson has now lost 51 Consecutive Daily Challenges. As I mentioned last week, your chance of winning at least 1 out of 51 is 99.99% His Hook-Up Numbers are elite and nobody is calling him the Goof, so he's chilling. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @mikethewhop: @TheAllanAguirre How did you calculate that? Theres so many factors that go into winning. How did you come up with that number
- @andrewmendez93: @TheAllanAguirre Also cause he might make his second final without seeing one elimination for the first time. Tbh that's also pretty impressive.
- @survivorstan16: @TheAllanAguirre I've tried to be his personal throat goat so many times
@TheAllanAguirre: You can tell Kyle's gotten real boring because he is so loud in every confessional for no damn reason. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @MikeyMelendez1: @TheAllanAguirre Honestly, he's been boring ever since Cara and Paulie moved on.
@TheAllanAguirre: Logan picked the worst person to face in this elimination. Emanuel has better cardio than him and every time they've had any type of race, Emanuel has been the fastest guy in the house. It's how he got Kaycee as a partner. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @Challenge_Talk: @TheAllanAguirre I like Devin but he was the one to pick for this. Endurance is his biggest weakness.
- @TheAllanAguirre: @Challenge_Talk Nelson is clumsy too and could trip easily. I'd rather CT or Kyle too. Emanuel is built for this elimination.
@Irving_A07: Oh wow, Emanuel actually has to do something this season #TheChallenge #TheChallenge37
@Irving_A07: Logan should’ve picked Devin for this elimination #TheChallenge #TheChallenge37
@TheAllanAguirre: Emanuel has been Clapping American Cheeks non-stop for 4 months now to stay out of elimination till now. His cardio is the best it's ever been. Logan never stood a chance. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @HenryLDiMaria: @TheAllanAguirre I thought there was a chance he would go too hard and burn out because he kept talking about how he was going so fast but then I remembered how Logan was essentially beat by Gabo in terms of endurance
@Irving_A07: When will production learn these “twists” are not enjoyable #TheChallenge #TheChallenge37
- @W00DZ: @Irving_A07 Or when they last for 3 seconds and add absolutely no suspense to the challenge…
@Irving_A07: Oh my lord, the final is FINALLY here yall!! Let’s pray this is a 1 episode final because I am tired (I know it won’t be) #TheChallenge #TheChallenge37
@TheAllanAguirre: Logan said we have not seen the last of him and he'll be coming back and that felt like a threat. MTV better not bring this boring ass dude back. I don't care if he's a good competitor, this guy stinks. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
- @bogb803: @TheAllanAguirre Naaa bring him back for him and Josh to have their coming out story but other then that ya I agree. Sad like him as a person and I’m sure the language barrier was an issue but omg
- @TheAllanAguirre: @bogb803 Not gonna lie, you kinda got me with the first part. The language barrier isn't an issue. I speak Spanish, and I watched clips of him from his original shows/interviews he was just a boring smug prick in that language too. Lmao.
- @WillBR9: @TheAllanAguirre Well Kacy keeps getting called back and she boring as fuck too. Is she only called back because Nany won't retire? And Josh gets called back because he wants to run a Final with his number 1 Kacy? Fessy cuz he friends with Josh and Kacy? Fuck seems like this is all Nanys fault
- @OFFICIALVMISS: @WillBR9 @TheAllanAguirre Josh won big brother and has a lot of female friends in the house as well as production likes him.
@HedrichFiles: Just let the 10 of them run individually! No more twists, no more eliminations!
- @Irving_A07: @HedrichFiles They ducking love doing the most. We could’ve had the final next week and be DONE but now we will have two eliminations that will take half the episode
- @Bennybubu: @HedrichFiles And don’t doubt the final lasts 2 episodes, plus 2 reunion episodes or something like this. Never since Dirty 30 hasn’t something felt so eternal
@presleycray13: nany and amanda listening to tj talk about the night of eliminations knowing theyve been skating by this whole season #TheChallenge37
- @CFan899: @presleycray13 You mean nany and devin. Nany is just carried to the end, everyone knows she won't win. Plus if a skull is needed, she's an easy target. I respect the fact that she acknowledges this though and is not delusional like some players like Devin and Josh
- @periwhorep: @presleycray13 Amanda won an elimination. And she has not been hiding or skating.
- @Theweekndswh0re: @presleycray13 Nany, Amanda, Devin AND Tori life flash before their eyes for sure
@CohenBrian_: The Challenge has been on for six months and yet will have their finale the same night as Survivor. You truly can’t make up the incompetency.
- @AMikeBloomType: @CohenBrian_ My new suggestion: Since Challenge seasons run six months, we make the premiere and finale dates the new Daylight Saving Time
- @naomicalhoun: @CohenBrian_ Going to start measuring time on the scale of Deshawn dropping in the challenge to how long a challenge season takes to air
- @CohenBrian_: @naomicalhoun the new metric system
- @SurvivorCory: @CohenBrian_ This is an exaggeration. It started August 9th which means it’s about to hit its 4th full month on screen.
- @LoneFalco: @CohenBrian_ That needs to be cut in half because this season just keeps going and going too damn long
@ChallengeMTV: It's a battle of the rookies down in the lair! Rocket Logan and Emanuel, have their work cut out for them because this elimination requires both speed AND endurance. #TheChallenge37
@_kmbbt: put in the dude who’s never been in an elimination. his vampire scare tactics can’t save him now. #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
@Samnb95: "Was it emerald or was it CT" At least Kyle's honest here. #TheChallenge37
@ChallengeStats: CT stated that it was his 55th daily win. This is correct if we don't count Dirty XXX's redemption challenge! So, his breakdown of wins is: - 6 individual / - 13 pair (with Adam, Diem, Wes, Zach, Cara, Big T, Berna and Emy) / - 36 team #TheChallenge
@AlupeiEmy: Hahaa #TheChallenge37
@MTVDevinWalker: Annnnnnd yet again I outperform everyone but the 4 time champ #TheChallenge37
🌎 🌍 🌏
Well, Devin can lay claim to a lot this season... and that includes beating most everyone in a last daily challenge that had TJ go off on some players and laugh at others for falling in -- and it's not the first time he will do that this week (wink wink). It's fair to say that CT won this daily and not Sapphire, but when you have a son who he's getting to play for in perhaps adding more to his savings account and being determined to be the first in almost a decade to go back to back on this show then that's why he's still in this. And with Emmanuel taking down Logan in that last rookie battle, we have our semifinal ten -- and all that's left is to send two more people home before we get to the final group of eight.
Still to come Inside MTV Reality on here, something we didn't get to have this season in Croatia takes over the spinoff as TJ unleashes his favorite challenge on the All-Stars... and the Floribama bam tackles something that they've never done before but is a task as tricky as it seems: try to abstain from alcohol to celebrate the arrival of the newest Shore baby. But before all of those, tomorrow we'll head up to the Big Apple as one of the biggest alums of the show that four of our semifinalists got their start on takes to the stage of the one event that kicks off the holiday season in this country.
Meanwhile, I am not only busy with these blogs, but also getting set to work on my holiday gift to you: this week I began pre-production on the DC VEGAS XI vlog series in prescreening the hours of footage I shot while I was in town, and working on various things related to offering everyone "The Ultimate Escape," especially with what's going on right now. This year's highly-anticipated set of #DCVegas videos will premiere Christmas week, starting Thursday, December 23 at YouTube.com/DC408Dxtr when the first video will be posted, followed by vlogs of my first night in Vegas since pre-pandemic to be posted throughout the long weekend... and we'll see you tomorrow from the Parade.
