After clamoring for a win all season so he could go into the Arena and earn a star, one player puts it all on the line for redemption; an All-Star finds his game at risk again, but retaliates with an unexpected power play.

An uncharacteristic string of poor performances haunts one All-Star, who fears their days of flying under the radar are over; a well-intentioned speech ends awkwardly and lands one player in hot water; two champions battle for a star.

Two Challenge queens seize the opportunity to go after a knight fiercely defending their star; one All-Star confides in an old rival as relationship woes threaten to take over their game; an explosive nomination sends shockwaves through the house.

One All-Star fumes when an old friend steals their star at the eleventh hour; TJ upends the game with a twist; The Final challenge kicks off with a ride and an elimination checkpoint.

The final eight compete for the $300,000 prize pool, where old rivals face off and new relationships prove crucial as fallen players give their stars away; an All-Star makes a mistake that could cost them the entire game.

A vengeful player makes a move to block an enemy from earning a star; a lone wolf must step up their game to stay in contention; a romance is reignited; an all-star makes a risky move when they try to expose a secret deal.
