Challenge: Battle Royale

Players will be divided into two teams of ten picked by Nelson (Green Team) and Chrysolyte (Blue Team) and the challenge will be played in male and female heats. Teams will start from opposing poles in the arena with a narrow hallway in the middle. Once TJ sounds the horn, players must run through the hallway to the opposing team's pole to retrieve five rings hanging from their pole. Upon retrieving these rings, teams must run back to their starting pole and place their opponents rings on them. Each player is responsible for grabbing a ring. The first team to win two heats will win while the losing team are all eligible for The Double Cross. The two players not selected for a team will be required to sit out from the challenge and will be eligible for The Double Cross.
