This article contains spoilers for <\/strong><\/em>The Challenge: USA<\/strong> season 2 episode 13, which first aired on Oct. 12.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Seven-time Challenge<\/a><\/em> <\/strong>champion John “Johnny Bananas” Devenanzio<\/a> is no stranger to lying and backstabbing, but during the most recent episode of The Challenge: USA<\/em> season 2, he was shocked to find his ally and friend – Big Brother 19<\/a><\/em> winner Josh Martinez<\/a> – betrayed him. <\/p>\n

However, karma sided with the 41-year-old legend, and Josh was eliminated at the end of episode 13, but what happened? <\/p>\n

Knowing the Final Challenge was right around the corner, the remaining 10 players battled it out in the episode’s Daily Challenge, which involved climbing a ladder up to a hot air balloon and then traversing a balance beam high above their competitors. <\/p>\n

Once everyone completed the thrilling athletic feat, Survivor: Edge of Extinction<\/em> winner Chris Underwood<\/a> and two-time Survivor<\/em> castaway Michaela Bradshaw punched their ticket to the finale. Unfortunately, for the four other men \u2014 Bananas, Josh, Big Brother 20’s<\/em> Faysal Shafaat, and Challenge<\/em> vet Cory Wharton<\/a> \u2014 their elimination scapegoat had saved himself for the second time in a row. <\/p>\n

The four had been working together for most of the game. But, because host TJ Lavin revealed before the Daily Challenge that the Arena would host a double elimination, they knew one of them would fall. Chris and Michaela later voted Faysal and Survivor 43’s<\/em> Cassidy Clark<\/a> directly into elimination. <\/p>\n

Faysal then told Cory and Josh to vote Bananas in, making the point that Bananas had won seven championships and that he’d have an easier time beating him in a physical loser-go-home match, something he predicted the next Arena to be. <\/p>\n

Josh struggled with the idea of voting in Bananas, someone he considered a good friend and ally. But, after swearing on the life of a family member to Bananas that he wouldn’t choose his Hopper ball, he did. He believed he’d have an easier time winning the Final Challenge without Bananas running it, so it was best to feed him to Fessy. <\/p>\n

Josh later came clean to the visibly upset Challenge<\/em> legend. <\/p>\n

At the Arena, Bananas had five balls placed into the Hopper, whereas Josh had two and Cory had one (Bananas voted for Cory). And as history has it, Josh’s name was called instead of Bananas. <\/p>\n

Faysal’s assumption that the final Arena would be “Hall Brawl” was correct. But, instead of tackling his 10-year elder, Faysal was forced to duel his buddy, Josh. They ran at each other at full steam through a narrow hallway, and once they emerged, they were met with a puzzle. After the dust settled, Faysal emerged victorious and sent Josh home right before TJ announced that they had all made it to the Final Challenge. Cassidy also departed after losing to Survivor 43’s<\/em> Chanelle Howell.<\/p>\n

Bananas said he’d feel ‘a little more upset’ if he was sent packing in the final elimination<\/h2>\n
