x-clownsdontbounce-x: I really wanted Mike and Jade to be in this final, but Mike really knows how to control people and Jade is really good at this game. They'll definitely be in plenty of finals in the future. As for the Bade, we'll have to wait for the reunion to see how that turns out. I knew you'd be sad about Mike and Jade's elimination but not too sad because Sonya and Robbie made it.
Victorioushallneverdie: Your criticisms of Tori make me feel like you somehow hacked into my computer and read the reunion chapter already before I posted it, lol. 90% of what you said about her is brought up in the reunion. I am a fan of Andre, he is my favorite character, and he may or may not win multiple challenges due to his athleticism. There's nothing in the rules that would stop someone from winning over and over again, but as you get more wins, you get a target on your back and people try to eliminate you early, and if you knew what I know, you wouldn't worry about Robbie winning in the future. Robbie might just win this one...Or Andre will...or Tori will...
Previously...on The Challenge: Fresh Meat II...
"Me. I pick Andre." Raven said.
Confessional
Raven: Andre's arms are huge, he had the highest strength rating by a landslide and he had the highest speed, his IQ is pretty average though, but I can think for him.
End Confessional
Sonya raised her booklet.
"I'll take Robbie."
Confessional
Sonya: Robbie had the fastest obstacle course time and the highest IQ by about 30,000 points. His strength and speed are decent, I think Robbie might be the most well rounded out of the bunch.
End Confessional
"I pick Tori." Corey said.
"Corey and Tori, has a nice ring to it." Craig said.
Confessional
Corey: I can relate to Tori. I've been buried in the shadow of being 'Raven's little brother' and Tori is going to be seen as 'Trina's little sister' instead of as her own person. We can break out and establish ourselves as strong competitors in this challenge.
End Confessional
"Incorrect, The Challenge 1. Robbie and Sonya win!"
Sonya celebrated as Craig pulled her lever and Robbie fell into the water. The teams got onto the challenge buses and drove back to the house.
Confessional
Robbie: So we won the challenge, the first of many wins for us I hope, and I feel good because this shows we can win challenges based on team work, but this doesn't mean much because this was a non-physical challenge.
End Confessional
Raven, Corey, Andre, and Sonya sat in the living room.
"Okay, there are 3 teams in the final challenge, if we can get our 3 teams to form an alliance, our three teams can make the final by helping each other out." Raven said, Corey and Sonya nodded.
"JADE AND MIKE WIN! COREY AND TORI WILL BE GOING TO THE JUNGLE TONIGHT!"
"So it's official. In tonight's elimination, it will be Corey and Tori...versus Twitty and Carly."
"In the final round, it will be Twitty vs Corey. On your marks...get set...GO!"
Corey and Twitty started climbing the ropes.
Confessional
Tori: So, everything feels like a dream to me. It's just so surreal. I start getting light headed and dizzy. I can't concentrate on the jungle, I think I'm having a panic attack, and all of a sudden I hear...
End Confessional
Craig blows an air horn.
"COREY AND TORI WIN!
"Fine, you crack the code, I'll pick the lock." Chase said.
"No! Help me crack the code!" Cat yelled.
"CAN YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" Sam yelled from the other cage. Just then, everyone heard a loud beep noise and the door to Robbie and Sonya's door flew open.
"Robbie and Sonya win and are safe from elimination."
Robbie and Sonya celebrated as the rest of the challengers got more frustrated.
Confessional
Robbie: The code ended up being the words "Fresh Meat Two" except each letter was represented by what number letter of the alphabet it was. For example. A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, and so on and so forth, the code is "6-18-5-19-8, 13-5-1-20, 20-23-15"
Sonya: Okay, so I under estimated Robbie's wit. But it doesn't matter now because we won the challenge and we're safe from elimination.
End Confessional
"Do the right thing, Beck." Mike said in a monotone voice.
Then he looked at Tori who was staring at Beck. Her bottom lip was quivering and she had a tear in her eye.
"Please." Tori said aloud, causing Jade to roll her eyes. Beck looked down at the ground.
"We vote Corey and Tori." Beck said quietly. Tori threw her face into Corey's chest as he patted her on the back.
"Corey and Tori, you guys will face Cat and Chase in tonight elimination." Craig said.
Confessional
Drake: Tori looks fierce with that mask on. I don't know what it is but she seems like a better competitor with it.
End Confessional
Cat picked up a gold coin. Tori tackled her trying to take it. Cat struggled keeping it as Tori wrestled with her.
"Chase! Help!" Cat called out. Chase and Corey couldn't move.
Tori stood on Cat's chest, pulling the coin away from her.
"GIVE IT UP!" Tori yelled as she snatched it from Cat and ran it to Craig. Everyone watched in shock.
"Corey and Tori win!"
Confessional
Jade: Tori has never looked so aggressive and so strong before. Then again, to be fair, Cat is like 5'2 and 90 pounds, so you can't give her that much credit. But Tori stepped up today.
End Confessional
"Andre and Raven, needless to say. You guys are the dead last losers. By the way, the answer to your riddle 'how many seconds are in a year' was 12. January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, and so on." Craig said.
"DAMMIT!" Raven said, kicking sand.
Confessional
Andre: Our riddle was so simple and we over thought it.
End Confessional
"The final round will be the battle of the sexes. Alex vs Andre. Winner stays in the house, loser goes home."
They each grabbed the bottom of a rope.
"Three...two..." Craig blew an air horn and Andre flew to the top of the rope with Alex close behind. It seemed like they rang the bell at the same time. Everyone stood confused.
"We'll have to check the instant replay." Craig said, walking off with the camera crew.
The challengers stood for what seemed like an eternity.
10 minutes later they came back.
"It was really close, the difference was one tenth of a second, the closest time difference in any challenge or elimination round in the history of MTV's The Challenge. But Andre...I'm sorry."
Andre hung his head as Raven's eyes got big.
"You were so close... to losing but you won!" Craig said.
Raven and Andre celebrated as Alex and Drake stood, shocked.
Confessional
Tori: To make the final six is awesome! I am so excited for what's next to come and I can't wait to take on whatever Craig has to throw at us.
Corey: Tori and I have grown a lot as a team, and I personally think that there isn't a team in the house that can beat us.
Andre: I'm the strongest guy in the game. And Raven has more wins than any girl except Topanga, we are the team to beat in the house and we'll keep raising the bar higher and higher so no one else can reach it.
Raven: Failure is not an option. We're winning this challenge and no one can stop us.
Robbie: People underestimate Sonya and I because we aren't a physically dominant team, but I can see us winning this thing, we have the strongest bond in the house, and you're only as strong as your relationship with your partner.
Sonya: Robbie is the best partner I could ask for, I wouldn't trade him for anyone in the house. And I have a great feeling about the final.
End Confessional
Amy thought.
"Who do you want to compete against?"
"If we go against Robbie and Sonya, we could beat them in something physical with our arms tied behind our backs, but not in anything mental. If we pick Andre and Raven, we can outsmart them but beating them in something physical would be tough. I honestly think we could beat Corey and Tori in anything, but they fight hard. They have heart, hmmm."
"We don't have all day, Amy." Craig reminded her.
"We'll face...Sonya and Robbie."
"Okay. Tonight in the jungle, it will be Sonya and Robbie vs Amy and Sinjin."
Confessional
Robbie: Sonya and I have really been through it this season. We are the underdog. Everyone thinks we're weak and we can't win and all of that, but it's time to shut them up, and prove them wrong.
Sonya: I didn't fight my way through 8 missions on this season to lose a few days before the final. This is our win to go out and get.
End Confessional
Amy found a gold coin and brought it to Craig.
"1 to 0."
Robbie picked up a coin with his left hand and handed it to Craig. Then he opened his fist, revealing 2 more gold coins.
Craig blew his air horn again as Sonya tackled Robbie into the mud in celebration.
"Sonya and Robbie win! Amy and Sinjin, you guys must walk the path of shame."
Confessional
Raven: We are one challenge away from the final. We are the strongest team in the house, and all we have to do is prove it today to punch our ticket to the final.
Andre: I know I can do it. I believe that Raven can do it. Now all we have to do is go out there and do it.
Corey: Tori and I can overcome any obstacle. And today, we face yet another obstacle. Regardless of what everyone in this house seems to think, we wouldn't be here if we weren't a strong team. It's time to shut up the naysayers.
Tori: Corey and I are playing with house money at this point. No one believes in us but ourselves. And we don't want to let ourselves down.
Sonya: I have never been this close to winning a challenge. I think I'm horribly underrated as a competitor and Robbie is as well. I think we can win this challenge AND win the final.
Robbie: The more people underestimate us, the easier it will be to slide across that finish line. We got this.
End Confessional
Raven started going after Corey's crate while Tori continued going to Andre's crate. All of a sudden, Tori walked off of the field.
"What are you doing, Tori?"
"I quit, CJ." Tori said, sitting down.
"What?"
"It's cold, I'm tired, my arms feel like Jello, and Andre's not dropping those rocks anytime soon. I quit, sir."
"Tori, are you really quitting on Corey right now?"
"I can't go anymore." Tori said, lying down.
"If you can't handle this, there's no way in hell you're going to even make it through half of half of my final." Craig said.
Tori sighed as Craig blew the air horn.
"Corey and Tori forfeit. Andre and Raven win, they are safe from elimination."
Corey dropped the crate and stormed over to Tori.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Corey yelled.
"I couldn't do it anymore Corey. I'm sorry. I couldn't." Tori said.
Corey sighed and walked away.
Confessional
Raven: If Tori couldn't make it through this, I definitely want to go against her in the final challenge.
Tori: With the cold, and the rocks, and me running back and forth, I couldn't even breathe or pick up anymore rocks. AND Andre wasn't budging. There was no way we were winning that.
Corey: This happening right before the final is a huge red flag. Can I trust Tori in the final challenge?
Jade: This is completely out of nowhere. Tori is a lot of bad things, but a quitter isn't one of them. I'm actually pretty surprised. I didn't see this coming.
End Confessional
"Congrats to Andre and Raven, you guys are going to the final challenge."
"Andre and Raven, you hold all the cards. You will decide who goes to the final with you, and who goes into the jungle with Mike and Jade."
"Well...after today's challenge. We've decided to put Robbie and Sonya in the jungle and Corey and Tori in the final with us."
"Tonight in the jungle, it will be Robbie and Sonya vs Mike and Jade for the last spot in the final challenge. Corey and Tori, congratulations, you're in the final challenge."
Confessional
Tori: This feels horrible. Raven and Andre won the challenge and earned their way into the final. Either Robbie and Sonya or Mike and Jade will win the jungle and earn their way into the final. Corey and I were PLACED into the final. We were hand picked to go into the final, because everyone already thinks we're a weak team and because of this challenge, everyone thinks I'm weak and I have no endurance. They think I can't make it through a final. The only reason I'm in the final right now is because Raven thinks Corey and I are a worse team than Robbie and Sonya. And that kills me.
Corey: Tori quitting this challenge technically did get us into the final, but it's a horrible sign, and I don't think this girl can make it through the final.
End Confessional
Confessional
Corey: So I see Hall Brawl, and my immediate thought is, Mike and Jade are going to the final challenge.
Robbie: We've been the underdog in every single challenge this season, this is no different, it's just time to prove the world wrong one more time.
End Confessional
Mike picked up Robbie ran with him, tackling him into the bell, it rung.
Confessional
Tori: I think Mike rang the bell with Robbie's head!
End Confessional
"NICE TRY DAVID! GOLIATH WINS IN REAL LIFE, BOY!" Mike shouted, walking back to his end of the hallway.
Mike and Robbie ran. Robbie jumped back as Mike dived for him and missed.
Robbie jumped over Mike and ran to ring the bell.
"HOW ABOUT THAT, GOLIATH!?" Robbie shouted, jogging back to his side as Raven's alliance cheered.
"In the closest elimination round in challenge history. The winners. By 3 tenths of a second...Are...Robbie and Sonya!"
Robbie and Sonya celebrated.
"FINALS! I FINALLY MADE THE FINALS!" Sonya screamed, hugging Robbie as he picked her up.
"Third place gets $10,000. Second place gets $15,000. And the first place team gets $1,000,000!"
They all cheered again.
"You guys are cheering now, but you won't be when you see my final. This will be the first cold weather final too, and every year's final is harder than the previous year's. Raven and Andre, you won't be able to just muscle your way through it. And Corey and Tori, if you couldn't make it through today's challenge, you might not even SEE the finish line. Robbie and Sonya, you won't be able to out smart everyone to win this one. This challenge will test your smarts, strength, swimming, endurance, speed, determination, and how much you want the money. Oh, and it is the first 48 HOUR FINAL!"
The cast gasped.
Confessional
Tori: Did he say, "48 Hours"?!
End Confessional
"Rest up challengers, you will most certainly need it."
Raven, Andre, Robbie, Sonya, Tori, and Corey were riding in the challenge bus. The bus had been driving for about 3 hours.
Everyone except Robbie was asleep.
They were wearing their team colored shirt (Sonya's team, yellow. Corey's team, blue. Raven's team, red.) and black shorts.
Tori wore a blue bandana and Corey wore a blue headband.
Confessional
Robbie: So the bus stops at in the middle of snowy nowhere. There's literally nothing but snow for about 2 hours, in a bus. So on foot, it would take us maybe 48 hours to even get back to the house, let alone to wherever this end of this challenge is taking us.
End Confessional
Everyone woke up and exited the bus to see Craig, standing in the middle of the field. There was a mountain top in the distance.
"Hello Challengers. Welcome to the moment you've been waiting for. The final challenge. Right now, you see nothing but snow, and if you got good eyesight, that snowy mountain top, and you guys seem pretty upset. But in a few hours, you're going to WISH you just had to run across some snow to win. Now, your final challenge starts in an hour."
A Helicopter flew above them and dropped a loose brown ladder.
"It will begin, on top of that mountain. I'll see you there."
The contestants looked in shock as Craig climbed the ladder and got into the helicopter. The helicopter flew away.
Confessional
Raven: So, we have to run to the top of this huge mountain, and THEN the challenge starts!?
End Confessional
"So, do we just start running or..."
In the middle of Tori's sentence, everyone took off running.
Tori ran behind them, everyone struggled to get up the snowy hill that got progressively steeper.
45 minutes later, Craig stood at the top of the mountain, the 3 helicopters flew in circles around the mountain top.
"Is that who I think it is!?" Craig yelled, calling out to the Red jersey he saw in the distance.
Soon Andre appeared.
"Congrats Andre, you could start your final if Raven was here. But you both need to get here in order to start."
Andre groaned and sat down.
They sat for about 15 minutes.
"So Andre, how's your first season of The Challenge going?"
"Well, pretty good, I mean, I..."
"Hey look, it's two yellow jerseys!" Craig called out as Sonya and Robbie ran side by side coming up the mountain.
"Congratulations Sonya and Robbie, you are the first team to start your final challenge."
A helicopter dropped a ladder, Sonya and Robbie climbed the ladder and the helicopter flew away.
"COME ON RAVEN!" Andre called out as Corey and Tori became visible in the distance.
Confessional
Andre: So I finish the mountain climb first, but thanks to Raven taking so fucking long to get up the mountain, we're going to be the last team to start.
End Confessional
Corey and Tori arrived, out of breath.
"You guys better hurry up and catch up to Robbie and Sonya." Craig said as the second helicopter dropped a ladder and Tori and Corey climbed it.
As Corey and Tori's helicopter flew away, Raven became visible. Eventually Raven got to the mountain and she, Andre, and Craig got into a helicopter.
"JUMP!?" Sonya screamed.
"Yeah, I'm going to fly above the lake and you guys gotta jump in and swim across. The flotation devices are in the back." The pilot said.
"What about the parachutes!?" Sonya cried.
"Nah, no parachutes, just flotation devices. You guys are jumping in about...20 seconds."
Robbie and Sonya looked out of the door as the Helicopter flew 20 feet above the water.
"Robbie, I don't know if..."
Robbie pushed Sonya out of the door and the fell into the water.
Then he jumped in himself.
Confessional
Robbie: Sonya always needs a little push. Sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally.
End Confessional
Corey and Tori sat, catching their breath in the helicopter.
"What's this life vest and stuff for in the back?"
"You guys gotta jump out, 20 feet above the lake." the pilot responded.
Corey's eyes got big as Tori handed him his flotation stuff and put hers on.
"Okay." Tori nodded, calmly.
"Uh..."
"What's wrong, Corey?"
"We gotta jump out?"
Tori sighed.
"30 seconds guys."
"I don't know abo..."
Tori pushed Corey out of the helicopter, then jumped out.
"Okay guys, go ahead and jump out." Craig said once Raven and Andre got on their gear.
Andre just stared out of the door.
Raven jumped on his back and they both fell out of the helicopter into the water.
Craig stood at the field at the end of the lake.
Robbie arrived on the field.
"Robbie, best swimmer in the house. Not surprised you're first. Where's Sonya?"
"Good question. Somewhere with her head above the water, I hope."
Confessional
Robbie: Sonya in the water, is like Nicole on dry land, she can't do anything right.
End Confessional
After about 25 minutes, Tori got onto the field.
"What place are we in?" Tori asked.
"That depends on where Corey and Sonya are." Robbie said.
Andre appeared on the field.
"Well look at that, it's a rookie party!" Craig exclaimed. Tori and Robbie laughed.
Confessional
Tori: All season, we've been supposed to be learning from these so-called 'Vets', and here we are, in the final challenge, and all of the rookies are sitting here, waiting to move on to the next part of the challenge because the Vets can't get out of the water.
End Confessional
Raven got on shore.
"Miraculous comeback guys. Andre and Raven are in first place."
"Did they drop Sonya in the wrong lake?" Robbie asked.
"I'm wondering the same thing about Corey."
Confessional
Corey: I fucking hate water. There is not a single man that was on this season that couldn't beat me in a swimming race.
End Confessional
"Andre, Raven. You guys have to push this giant snow sled down to the resting area, which is about 10 hours down that trail."
"You're fucking kidding me." Raven said as everyone stared at Craig.
"I mean, you can quit now, cut your losses and go home with $10,000." Craig shrugged.
Raven and Andre began pushing the sled down the trail as Corey appeared on the field.
Tori explained to him what they were doing and they began pushing the sled.
Eventually, Sonya got onto the field and began pushing the sled with Robbie.
Confessional
Tori: So, my legs are tired, my arms hurt, I'm cold, I'm soaken wet, and I'm out of breath, and we've only been doing this for an hour, and we have so many more hours left to go.
Sonya: This is hell. We're last place, this sled is heavy, it's cold, and I know no matter what we do, we're going to finish last.
Raven: I told Andre, yeah this sucks. This sucks a lot. Now we have two choices. We can sit around moping about how much this sucks. OR, we can get it over with and get our money.
End Confessional
The sun fell while the contestants continued pushing the sled. Taking breaks periodically in between.
Craig stood, waiting at the rest station. He was holding three huskies on leashes, who were asleep. There were 3 blow up mattresses laying in the snow with a blanket and a pillow.
A snow sled appeared in front of them and stopped. Andre and Raven came out from behind the sled.
"Congrats Andre and Raven. You made it through day 1 of the final. The final started 14 hours ago. We will resume with the race in 10 hours. But now, it's time for you guys to rest."
Craig woke up one of the dogs.
"Here's the catch. This challenge will go ALL 48 hours. You guys can only sleep one at a time. The other one of you has to hold this leash with this dog, who's been asleep all day. You guys have two timers on the bed, divide your time anyway you want to."
Andre and Raven looked at each other, sick of this final.
Confessional
Andre: So we decide that I'm going to sleep first for 5 hours while Raven holds the dog. Then, I'm going to hold the dog for the last 5 hours while Raven sleeps.
End Confessional
Andre slept and Raven held the dog on the leash for about two hours by the time Corey and Tori arrived.
"Congrats Corey and Tori. You made it through day 1 of the final. The final started 16 hours ago. We will resume with the race in 8 hours. But now, it's time for you guys to rest."
Raven smiled at the fact that Craig had almost word for word said to Tori and Corey what he said to her and Andre.
"Here's the catch. This challenge will go ALL 48 hours. You guys can only sleep one at a time. The other one of you has to hold this leash with this dog, who's been asleep all day. You guys have two timers on the bed, divide your time anyway you want to."
"What the hell, CJ?" Tori asked as she and Corey went over to the beds.
"Corey I'm sooo tired right now." Tori complained, laying on the bed.
"Wanna split it 4-4?" Corey asked.
"You expect me to be able to function on 4 hours of sleep?"
"You want me to sleep less than 4 hours?"
Tori groaned.
Confessional
Corey: When Tori's cranky and tired, she's a completely different person, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to reason with her. We end up splitting our time with me holding the dog first for 5 hours while princess Tori gets her beauty sleep. Then I sleep for 3 hours while she holds the dog.
Tori: This challenge is so stupid! Like, why can't we both sleep at the same time? This is ridiculous.
End Confessional
An hour later, Robbie and Sonya arrived.
"Congrats Sonya and Robbie. You made it through day 1 of the final. The final started 17 hours ago. We will resume the race in 7 hours. But now, it's time for you guys to rest."
Raven laughed as Corey gave a knowing smile.
"Here's the catch. This challenge will go ALL 48 hours. You guys can only sleep one at a time. The other one of you has to hold this leash with this dog, who's been asleep all day. You guys have two timers on the bed, divide your time anyway you want to."
Robbie and Sonya stared in shock.
"I sleep first." Robbie said as Craig handed Sonya the leash. Sonya rolled her eyes and joined the other Vets as Robbie went to sleep.
Confessional
Sonya: Damn rookies.
End Confessional
The next morning, Andre, Raven, and Tori were all running on 5 hours of sleep. Sonya and Robbie were running on 3 and a half hours each. Corey was running on 3 hours.
A challenge bus picked them up and drove them to a snowy field on the edge of a body of water that had a metal contraption above it.
It was far above it. There was a rolling log with a pink cloth on it. Craig was waiting for them.
"Rise and shine challengers. 24 hours down, 24 hours to go. You will have to stand on the end of the platform, grab that pink cloth in the middle of that rolling log, and walk to the other end of the platform. If you fall, the next person in order will go. Your team will not advance until one of your team members gets that pink cloth. First up, the first person to hold the dog last night, Raven."
They all put on their helmets and flotation devices. Raven stood on one end of the platform.
"On your mark...get set...GO!"
Raven slowly started walking onto the rolling log. She fell.
"Andre, you're up."
Andre climbed the platform as Raven swam back to the field.
"GO!"
Andre slowly started walking on the log, as he bent down and grabbed the pink cloth, then fell in the water.
The production crew put the cloth back in the middle of the log.
"Next up, Corey."
Corey climbed up the platform.
Confessional
Corey: I am beyond tired right now, and at this point, we might not even win third place. They might call Mike and Jade back and have them run from the U.S. to Canada and they could still beat me to the finish line.
End Confessional
"GO!" Corey started running and immediately fell.
"Tori's turn."
Confessional
Tori: I'm comfortable with heights, but I can be pretty clumsy at times, so I am freaking out right now.
Raven: Trina is a great competitor as long as she doesn't have to keep her balance or make any smooth, easy movements. Let's see if body coordination runs in the family or not.
End Confessional
Tori climbed the platform.
"3...2...GO!"
Tori slowly inched closer to the cloth, she almost fell and stopped, putting her hand on her mouth.
Sonya raised her eyebrows.
She slowly bent down, picked it up, and ran to the other side of the platform.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!" Tori screamed.
"YES!" Corey screamed jumping up and down.
"Corey, Tori, get in the snow plow and follow the producers to the next part of the challenge. Sonya, you're up."
They jumped in and drove behind the producers as Sonya climbed the platform.
"I SUCK WITH HEIGHTS!" Sonya screamed.
"SHUT UP AND FALL ALREADY! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!" Raven shouted beck.
Sonya took one step on the log, slipped and hit the back of her head on the log as she fell.
Confessional
Raven: If it wasn't for that helmet, that blonde hair of hers would've had some red in it.
Robbie: The sound the helmet made was almost louder than that stupid airhorn CJ's been blowing all season.
End Confessional
"Robbie, you're up."
Robbie climbed the platform, and ran across the log, he tried to grab the cloth as he went by but missed it.
"Dammit!" Robbie said, climbing down.
"Good strategy Robbie, but you need the cloth." Craig said as Raven climbed the platform, she fell.
Andre climbed the platform and slowly inched to the cloth. He picked it up and inched to the end.
"HURRY! GET DOWN!" Raven screamed, running to the snow plow.
Sonya climbed the platform. She began running, slipped and did a split on the log and fell.
"She falls a more painful way every time." Craig said.
Robbie began running on the long, slipped, and fell on his face, falling off.
Sonya and Robbie went back and forth for about 30 minutes falling before Robbie finally got the cloth across.
After an hour long ride, the producer standing, waiting saw Tori and Corey get to the field on top of a mountain that had 3 boards of questions, they instinctively ran to blue board. It read.
Corey and Tori, after you complete these 8 questions (commemorating 8 seasons of the Challenge), you will run to the bottom of this mountain, where I will be, along with all three of the checks. Good luck - Craig J. Jackson
1.) What was the theme of the 3rd season of the challenge?
2.) Who was the first female pick on Fresh Meat 1?
3.) Name all 4 surviving members of the 2nd place rookies team on The Gauntlet.
4.) What is the largest state in the U.S.
5.) True Or False, Raven has never missed a final challenge.
6.) What was the name of the original season of The Challenge?
7.) True of False, Fresh Meat is the only format of The Challenge to get a sequel so far.
8.) What is Craig's middle name.
"Okay, I know 1 is Battle of The Sexes, and 5 is false...uh, 7 is true..." Corey began.
"The answer to 6 is 'Real World/Road Rules Challenge'." Tori added.
Andre and Raven arrived and read their board.

She wrote on the board and called over the producer.
The board read.
1.) Battle Of The Sexes
2.) Zoey.
3.) Dana, Mike, Chase, Zoey.
4.) California.
5.) Josh.
6.) Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
7.) False.
8.) Justin.
"Four of these are wrong." The producer said.
"Bullshit!" Raven exclaimed as the producer walked over to Corey and Tori who were waving them over.
Their board read...
1.) Battle of the Sexes.
2.) Sonya.
3.) Dana, Mike, Zoey, Chase.
4.) Texas.
5.) False.
6.) Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
7.) True
8.) Jerome.
"You guys got two wrong."
"Can you tell us which ones?"
"No."
After about 30 minutes, Robbie and Sonya arrived and began working on their questions, which were...
Sonya and Robbie, after you complete these 8 questions (commemorating 8 seasons of the Challenge), you will run to the bottom of this hill, where I will be, along with all three of the checks. Good luck - Craig J. Jackson
1.) What was the theme of the 3rd season of the challenge?
2.) Who was the first female pick on Fresh Meat 1?
3.) Name all 4 surviving members of the 2nd place rookies team on The Gauntlet.
4.) What is the largest state in the U.S.
5.) True Or False, Corey was eliminated in Episode 3 of The Gauntlet.
6.) What was the name of the original season of The Challenge?
7.) True of False, Fresh Meat is the only format of The Challenge to get a sequel so far.
8.) What is Craig's middle name.
Raven and Tori both started screaming for the producer.
"I'm sorry Tori, Raven was first." He said, walking over to her board.
1.) Battle Of The Sexes
2.) Quinn.
3.) Dana, Mike, Chase, Zoey.
4.) Alaska.
5.) Drake.
6.) Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
7.) False.
8.) Jerome.
"Correct."
Raven and Andre took off, running down the steep hill.
Confessional
Raven: As Andre and I start running down this mountain, we realize that this challenge has only been going on for 30 hours. And it ends at the end of this mountain. Meaning that we'll be running down this thing for at least 18 hours, so at some point we have to sleep. And the longer we sleep, the easier it is to lose.

1.) Battle of the Sexes.
2.) Quinn.
3.) Dana, Mike, Zoey, Chase.
4.) Alaska.
5.) False.
6.) Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
7.) False.
8.) Jerome.
"Correct!"
Tori and Corey took off while Robbie and Sonya struggled with the questions. After 45 minutes, they got them right and started jogging down the mountain.
Confessional
Robbie: This isn't about speed. This is about endurance, which Tori and Raven don't have. It's all about pacing ourselves and remaining calm.
Andre: Raven and I's strategy is to just go all out, and put all of our energy into this footrace. Every thing we have left in the tank is going out right here, right now.
Tori: Corey and I don't really have a strategy, we're just running, and when we get tired, I guess we'll figure out what to do.
End Confessional
Craig stood, 20 hours later and not a single challenger was there.
Confessional
Andre: So, after about 2 hours, Raven stops running and says she has a plan.
Corey: A couple hours in, we see Andre laying in the snow and Raven standing in front of us, and she makes and agreement that we can all sleep there together, and whoever wakes up first will wake up the other two teams.
Robbie: Now, while I didn't believe that they would wake us up, we all needed the sleep, so we agreed.
End Confessional
With 16 hours left to meet the "48 Hour" deadline, the challengers slept.
With 7 hours left, Andre and Raven woke up.
"We're not waking them up." Raven said, as she began running.
"Come on Dre!" Raven yelled.
"Alright, I'll be right there!" Andre called back. He looked down and Tori sleeping and sighed.
"Tori...Tori...Tori, wake up." He said, shaking her.
Tori grumbled in her sleep.
"Robbie, get up Robbie." Andre said, shaking Robbie, who woke up.
"Where's Raven?" Robbie asked.
"Running."
"Oh shit. Sonya, get up!" Robbie yelled, trying to get her up.
"Tori!" Andre screamed throwing snow in Tori's face.
Tori snapped awake.
"What's going on."
"A footrace." Andre responded, running down the hill.
"Corey, come on!" Tori said, waking him up.
Confessional
Raven: So I keep running, and after 15 minutes, Andre finally catches up to me and tells me he woke the other teams up! That idiot! We had this challenge in the bag, and now, it's a competition again.
Andre: At first, I just wanted to let Tori and Corey sit there after the whole Beck thing, but, I still really care about Tori. And Robbie's been my best friend in the house all season, I had to give them a fair shot to win.
End Confessional
10 hours after the challengers woke up, Craig sat with the checks waiting for them.
"It's been 51 hours." Craig said, looking at the producers.
All of a sudden, Andre ran over to Craig, crossing the finish line.
"We won?! WE WON!" Andre said jumping up and down.
"ANDRE! CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO COMPLETE THE FINAL CHALLENGE! NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HOPE RAVEN FINISHES SOON SO YOU CAN WIN!" Craig said, jumping up and down.
"Wait, what?" Andre asked.
"Both team members have to cross the finish line in order to win."
Andre fell back in the snow.
"GOD DAMMIT!" Andre screamed.
Confessional
Andre: Pretty symbolic of this entire season, here I am, the first person done with the final challenge, and I'm waiting for Raven.
End Confessional
Corey ran, crossing the finish line.
"Where's Raven?" Andre asked.
"3 feet ahead of Tori." Corey responded, sitting down.
"Where's Robbie and Sonya?"
"Way, way behind."
Slowly, Raven became visible, a few seconds later, Tori became visible.
"COME ON TORI!" Corey screamed.
"YOU GOT IT RAVEN, YOU GOT IT!"
Confessional
Tori: So I'm running as hard as I can, I just can't get past Raven, I'm putting every ounce of resistance I have into not letting Raven win, and it's not working. Then all of a sudden...
Raven: I step into one of Andre's big ass footprints and trip. And I feel my ankle just turn a way that God did not intend it to turn.
End Confessional
"FUCK!" Raven screamed grabbing her ankle.
"NO!" Andre screamed.
"What happened?" Craig asked, looking over.
"She tripped in a footprint and twisted her ankle it looks like." The producer said.
Tori fell out, exhausted, right next to Raven, who was crawling to the finish line.
"TORI COME ON! YOU'RE 12 FEET AWAY!"
Tori got up stumbling to the finish line as Raven crawled behind her. She grabbed Tori's foot, Tori kicked her hand away and fell across the finish line.
Confessional
Corey: So Craig blows the air horn. And for once, I don't mind hearing that loud horn in my ears.
End Confessional
"COREY AND TORI WIN! YOU GUYS HAVE WON THE FINAL CHALLENGE!" Craig exclaimed as Corey picked up Tori and hugged her. Tori cried on Corey's shoulder.
Andre sat down and put his head down as Raven crawled across the finish line.
"Thanks for waking them up, asshole." Raven said, throwing the giant $15,000 check at Andre. Andre just sighed as Corey and Tori celebrated.
Confessional
Andre: We could've won this very easily if I didn't wake up the other teams, so I feel horrible. But at least I have my integrity. But, I'd trade that integrity for the chance to do this over again and not wake them up, anyday.
Raven: Me falling in the hole was irony. I've been micromanaging everything this whole season, and we end up losing because of something I couldn't control. I fell in a footprint and twisted my ankle. And now, this is another tough loss in a final challenge that I'll have to deal with forever.
End Confessional
After 25 minutes, Robbie and Sonya were running side by side, crossing the finish line. Raven, Andre, Tori, Corey, and Craig clapped for them.
Confessional
Robbie: As much as it sucks to come in third. It meant so much to finish side by side with Sonya. We've grown as a team. We've done what nobody thought we could do, and I'm grateful to have made it this far.
Sonya: After this season, I feel like I've evolved as a player in this game, and as a person and athlete in general. And I have no one to thank for that but the best partner in the world, Robbie.
End Confessional
Craig handed Sonya and Robbie the $10,000 check and handed Corey and Tori the $1,000,000.
Confessional
Corey: Most people go through this show and watch the same people win over and over again and they never get a win. I feel grateful to win in only my 2nd challenge. We were pretty much the most underrated team in the house. Every other team had that niche, that little thing where people were like 'oh, they're good at that', but when it came to us. People just said we're lucky. You don't win the Challenge off of luck. You don't make it past 11 other teams and win a final off of luck. Tori and I earned our victory and we deserved it.
Tori: This whole season, we've been fighting an uphill battle, and throughout all the drama, the rough times. And everyone doubting us and saying we didn't deserve to make it far in the game. And now we're standing ahead of all of them. The CHAMPIONS of Fresh Meat II. I'm a champion. And even though this is my first season, I'm technically undefeated. How many people can say that? And no matter what people say to me or about me, they'll be saying it to or about a winner, and that makes this whole journey worth it. Plus, who wouldn't want $500,000!
Craig: And that's how it ends. The middle of the pack, can't sleep on them because they're low-key, yet always in the middle of drama team, Corey Baxter and Tori Vega, won. The team that was known as Raven's little brother and Trina's little sister ended up beating 11 other teams. Including teams like Raven and Andre, Beck and Dana, Amy and Sinjin, AND Raven and Andre, who are 4 of the best teams I've ever seen on this show. Congratulations to them. They deserve it.
End Confessional
Corey and Tori won "The Challenge: Fresh Meat II"! *insert cliche joke about Tori being "vicTORIous"*
Will the underdogs win on an uncharacteristically laid back season of the challenge be appreciated by the rest of the house? And what about the prank wars, and the love triangles? And the drama that DIDN'T make the final cut of the show?
