Arguably, everything in the back half of The Challenge: Vets & New Threats has been building to this week’s episode. With the final getting closer, the “downstairs” alliance has begun thinking about who they consider their biggest threats. The showmance between Nany González and Will Gagnon had been splintering after their fiery first hookup. And despite the pairs being “locked in,” the potential of staking a claim on someone else has always been hanging over their heads. This week, all of these storylines combined in a major way, leading to the most dramatic deliberation of the season.
Check out our spoiler-filled recap below and find out who was eliminated tonight.
Who was eliminated on The Challenge: Vets & New Threats Season 41 tonight?
Aviv Melmed
Will Gagnon
Going into this week’s deliberation, Will Gagnon wasn’t content, but was consistent. He wasn’t happy with his partner Olivia Kaiser, as the two barely communicated. But being in a relationship with Nany got him in good with the other side of the house. Meanwhile, Aviv Melmed and her partner Yeremi Hykel were getting betrayed by their alliance, as they felt they were too big threats to win the final. And so, in a final Hail Mary, Yeremi staked a claim on Olivia. He was successful in doing so, swapping partners between the two pairs. Things were thrown into disarray, as the vote suddenly tied after Will found out Nany shockingly made a deal with Theo Campbell. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side, as a coin toss sent them in. And their first test as a new team proved to be a fatal one, as they were taken out in a puzzle elimination.
Who won the daily challenge in The Challenge: Vets & New Threats Season 41 tonight?
Aviv Melmed
Will Gagnon
This week’s daily challenge had the duos dancing in the dark. The pairs made their way into a cave where they had to memorize numbers using only the light of a match. Sydney Segal and Turbo Çamkıran proved to outsmart the system, taking home a much-needed win. And, after injuring her ankle yet again, Michaela Bradshaw finished in last place alongside Cedric Hodges, sending them both into elimination.

A partner swap leads to a chaotic deadlock
Going into the deliberation, everyone in the house was in on the same plan: Vote in Aviv and Yeremi. Nany, honoring her prior relationship with Aviv, tipped her off about this ahead of time. And, unfortunately, she gave them the match to light the game ablaze. Knowing they were going in, Yeremi staked a claim on Olivia, prompting an uproar from all parties involved. Yeremi was ultimately successful in his challenge, and formally swapped partners, leaving Aviv with Will.
Then, it was time to officially vote. Things hit a moment of tension when, after Will asked Nany if she was thinking about voting him in, she hesitated. It’s then that it came out that, off-camera, Nany had made a deal with Theo, swearing on her late mother’s life that they wouldn’t vote for each other. Enraged, Will and Aviv voted for Nany and Justin Hinsley, who returned the favor. In the end, the vote became deadlocked at 2-2. As a tiebreaker, a coin was flipped, and Aviv and Will were ultimately sent in. It’s safe to say any chance of Nany and Will’s romantic affairs continuing on following Season 41 are promptly done and dusted.
