The Challenge: USA season 2 episode 4 became one of the most intense episodea as two contestants bid farewell to the show
Appearing in shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race, Luis Colon is well-known among fans. Meanwhile, Amanda Garcia has appeared in reality shows such as Are You the One? 3, Rivals III, Invasion of the Champions, Dirty 30, Final Reckoning, War of the Worlds, Spies, and Lies & Allies.
Even though Luis has been involved in the elimination discussions since the first task, he was able to find ways to escape. The recent elimination pitted him against Chris, who was backed by the Green team and their votes. As for Amanda, she had been seen feuding constantly with Michele and Tori since the first episode of season 2.
Even though Amanda Garcia's feud with these contestants didn't contribute much to her elimination, it was Desi who was really responsible for her exit. With the Red team taking success in the episode 4 challenge, the competition became intense as the teammate cleared through tough challenges. Moreover, this episode of the show also saw some cast members switching teams.
During this time, John "Johnny Bananas" Devenanzio was spotted moving to Cory's position, while Chris was seen moving to the Blue team. Furthermore, Desi changed her position with Alyssa S.
