Final Challenge

First Stage: In the first stage of the final challenge, players must run along a course and complete three checkpoints. Before attempting each checkpoint players must retrieve a token found at the end of the mile and a half long course. Additionally, players will be required to wear various pieces of medieval equipment that will slow them down. For the lap to the first checkpoint players feet will be shackled together by chains. For the lap to the final checkpoint, players must each wear an entire suit of armor while they finish the course. The first two male players and first two female players to complete the stage will advance to Stage 2. The remaining four players will be eliminated from the final challenge and their bank accounts will be added to the final prize.

Checkpoints
  • This is Torch'er: Each player will start with their own basket of torches. One at a time, players must take their entire basket of torches to the opposite end of the muddy field. Once a player has moved all of their torches they may advance to the next checkpoint.
Grenade: Players may simply return to their basket after depositing their torch or they may take a torch from their opponent's basket and return it to their starting basket before retrieving their own torch.
  • Decked Out: Players will enter a dungeon where they will face either Bananas or Melissa who serve as Mercenaries. The Mercenaries serve as card dealers and each player must guess whether the next card will be higher or lower than the first, aces being high. If the player correctly guesses two of three cards they will advance to the final checkpoint. If the Mercenary wins they will be responsible for assigning the player a grenade that they must complete before advancing.
Grenade: If a Mercenary won, they could decide between drinking a glass of water, completing 50 jumping jacks or burying a log in the ground, as a grenade for their opponent.
  • Backstabber: Upon reaching the checkpoint each player must wait for the next of their fellow players to arrive before playing. Competing one on one, one by one, players must remove swords from their board in amounts of one, two, or three. The player with one sword remaining on their board will win and advance to the finish line. (Note: Because Nicole Z. was disqualified due to an injury, Kam, the last person to arrive to the checkpoint. simply had to remove all of the swords before advancing.)
Grenade: The winner will also assign their opponent one of three ancient dishes; cheese, hot chocolate, or spicy tripe soup, to consume before being able to advance.

Memory Smash: In the second stage of the final challenge players must memorize a puzzle key featuring various colored circles. Once they have memorized a portion of their puzzle they must go inside the castle and to the courtyard where they must recreate the puzzle on their own individual board. The first male and female to finish stage 1 were given a 30-second head start. The first player to successfully match their color board with the answer key will be declared the winner and receive over $370,000, money from both the final prize and also the cumulated bank accounts of all of the eliminated players. Second, third, and fourth place will each receive $35,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively. Each finalist will also receive the money earned from their bank accounts throughout the season. The results would later be announced at the reunion special.

Final results

  • Winner: Cara Maria ($378,750)
  • Runner-up: Zach ($72,125)
  • Third place: Kyle ($20,625)
  • Fourth place: Kailah ($25,625)

Reunion special

The two-part reunion special/finale aired on April 10 and 17, 2018, and was hosted by WWE pro wrestler, The Real World: Back to New York alum, and former Challenge champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. Cast members (including Kayleigh, Melissa and Kyle via Satellite) attended at the MTV Studios in New York City.

Notes

  1. 1 2 3 4 Eddie withdrew from the competition prior the "Who's Got Balls?" challenge in episode 2. His exit was not shown on-screen.
  2. 1 2 3 Nicole Z. was forced to withdraw from the final challenge, after she suffered an ankle injury on the first stage.
  3. 1 2 3 At the end of Episode 10, Kayleigh withdrew from the competition, following an incident in which Britni, Jemmye and Kailah threw her belongings from a balcony at the house.
  4. 1 2 3 Veronica was forced to withdraw after dislocating her finger against Aneesa in the "Crazy 8" elimination.
  5. 1 2 3 Prior to the "Puppet Master" challenge in episode 7, Sylvia was medically removed from the competition, after she was deemed too sick to continue competing.
  6. 1 2 3 In episode 3, Melissa suffered an accident at the house in which she lacerated her foot and was medically prohibited from competing in the "#Vendettas" challenge, due to the fact that it involved water. As a result, Melissa was automatically sent to "The Ring", instead of the last-place male.
  7. 1 2 In episode 4, "The Ring" was deemed genderless; however, as Sylvia was named the last place competitor, it became a female elimination week.
