Hang up your beach towels and disentangle yourself from your pool noodle because the Vacation Alliance is in trouble!
This week, three of the four members of the formidable V.A.
are at risk: Devin and Tori from Era III, and Kaycee from Era IV.
Devin, however, doesnt seem particularly bothered.
The daily challenge is called Bottoms Out, providing Ryan and Derek with some low-hanging fruit comedy about bottoming.
To begin, the teams will attempt to solve 27 math equations.
Each correct answer earns them a hand or foothold in the giant storage container hanging above the water.
First things first, 27 math equations isa lot.
Thats basically the entire math section of the SAT, a test that most of these delinquents probably failed.
Uhm, can we yo get a CNN fact check?
If you were that good at math, youd have a real job.

At the arena, the elimination game is called Cable Connection Showdown.
Each player has a giant board with all 40Challengeseason logos on it.
The first player to get all 40 logos lit up wins.
It all sounds oddly … clerical?
What a huge downgrade fromGladiatortoOffice Space.
Devin and Kyland go first, and this elimination feels tailor-made for Devin.
All that said, Devin completely shits the bed.
Kyland rips through his cords and beats Devin 40 to 2.
Teams are no more, and its officially an individual game.
Kyland chooses Rachel, Aviv, and Jenny.
