Awesome / The Challenge

• Amber B, a pre-jury boot on what's considered one of the worst Big Brother seasons ends up being the first Big Brother alumnus to win. Even though it wasn't an individual challenge (As those became rarer) she still was clearly pulling her weight and wasn't just getting carried by CT.
• Justine, being from Love Island wasn't seen as a decent competitor. She ends up helping to talk Tyson into nominating Tiffany for the challenge. Alyssa had also suggested Tiffany for the block - specifically for revenge on Big Brother.
  • Cayla and James proceeding to beat out Tiffany and Cashel.
  • Alyssa and Kyland's revenge on Xavier - and Justine once again ends up surprising people by winning in the Elimination Block
• Cayla and Justine's performances in general. While they didn't win, they made it to the finale and outlasted several very strong competitors. Sarah also deserves credit as she won not by beating them, but on sheer grit alone. The other two quit, but she kept going full aware even if she only won 15,000 it was still better than going home with nothing. It pays off enormously as she not only wins but gets the bigger half of the pot.
• In The Challenge: Australia, Troy managed to come in first for the men. As usual, it's a 96 hour challenge - and Troy finished it after coming out of an elimination round.
• Bananas' calling out the other players in "World Championships" for being too scared to send anyone they know personally (like Tori trying to turn on her own partner to protect her ex-fiance) into the arena when so much is up for grabs.
