Trending
Amanda was eliminated in episode 2 of The Challenge 40 when she took on Nia from Era 3. Era 3 picked "Balls In" as their challenge. Nia's size advantage played a significant role, ultimately proving too much for Amanda, who was the first person to be eliminated after losing 2-1.
2) Leroy Garrett (episode 2)
In the same episode, Leroy from Era 3 was also eliminated in the "Balls In" challenge against Tony. Before the brawl, Tony explained that he was happy to go one-on-one against his friend and showcase a good game for the audience. Tony won both rounds and sent Leroy packing.
3) Mark Long (episode 2)
Mark went up against Derrick in "Poll Wrestle,” and to the surprise of many, Derrick won despite being much smaller than Mark in The Challenge 40.
4) Katie Cooley (episode 2)
Aneesa took on Katie to decide who would be going home. Katie's strategy was to hold onto Aneesa and try to wear her down, as she had the size advantage. However, this didn't change much for Aneesa, as she easily took Katie out.
5) Paulie Calafiore (episode 2)
Paulie faced Theo in "Hall Brawl," with personal animosity against each other before the brawl. Theo took advantage of his size and won the first and second rounds with much ease.

8) Brandon Nelson (episode 2)
The men played "Take Shelter" side-by-side with the ladies, in which Brandon went up against Ryan. Ryan eventually ousted Brandon in this game, which focuses on mental prowess rather than physical.
9) Tony Raines (episode 3)
Tony's elimination was met with some backlash from his teammates as he nominated himself to go up in the elimination round. He competed in “One Step at a Time” against Darrell and ultimately lost.
10) Jodi Weatherton (episode 3)
