‘The Challenge’ Cast Reacts to ‘Spies, Lies & Allies’ Episode 1: ‘You Are Busted B****’

The first episode of “The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies” aired on Wednesday night, August 11, after much anticipation with the aptly titled episode “The List.” As the episode aired, many of its stars watched along with fans and live-tweeted their reactions.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the first episode of “The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies” which aired on August 11 at 8 p.m.

The episode began with a bang as the introduction of players and the “Challenge” house took place during the August 9 “Global Activation” special. The American players were chained to blocks as the international competitors raced to free them and were responsible for choosing their partner, an American reality star of the opposite sex. Teams then had to decode their safe and race to the finish line where host TJ Lavin stood waiting.

Aneesa Ferreira and her teammate Logan Sampedro from “Survivor Spain” won the challenge and created what TJ called the Agency. Back at the house, the stars discussed the best move and soon the discussion turned to an apparent list created by former “Survivor” contestant Michaela Bradshaw and the strength of the “Survivor” alliance.

Things came to a head during deliberations as Michaela defended herself and called out both former “Survivor” Michele Fitzgerald and Tori Deal. Her pleas weren’t enough, though and she and teammate Renan Hellemans were voted into elimination by the house. A shocking twist from TJ revealed that the Agency could choose any guy and any girl to face them regardless of teams.

They chose rookie Corey Lay and Michele but a dominant performance by Corey ensured that they could stay in the game while Michaela and Renan were eliminated. Michele then infiltrated the remaining players and took Devin Walker as her teammate while Corey called down Tori. The episode ended with TJ announcing that Nam Vo left the game to be replaced by “The Circle” star Ed Eason.
