"Everyone please make their way to the back yard, please." Nadia's voice projected over the intercom in the house.

"Ayeee, let's go win this challenge, Alijah!" Odell wrapped his arm around Alijah.

I don't know why Odell thinks we're cool now. I mean you threw a challenge for a bitch who ain't even talking to yo dumbass now. All I know is that if he throws this challenge then I'm gonna beat his ass as well.
-Alijah

The teams walked out onto the yard where different tables were set up with different glasses and drinks of food. Nadia walked over, standing in front of the group. She looked a bit concerned when she began to speak.

"So it was a little bit hectic at the last challenge and from what I know it got even more crazy when you guys got back to the house. Alijah, Caroline, would either of you want to explain what the hell happened?" She questioned the group.

"Well, Odell threw the challenge because Caroline asked him to after they got done fucking. She got slick at the mouth so I beat her ass." Alijah explained to her.

Nadia nodded her head, "Let's make sure that fighting doesn't occur all the time. You guys are here to win one million dollars not to beat each other up after three weeks. Got it?"

Everyone nodded their heads understanding Nadia. She then clapped her hands, starting to gesture towards the different foods that sat in front of her.

"So today, for the challenge you guys will have to eat!"

"We get to eat?! That's suppose to be a challenge?" Stephen asked.

"Hell yeah it's a challenge. I mean it's not your average, junk food like hot Cheetos or something. The things we got out today are something else. You guys are gonna be eating and drinking five of the most disgusting things while you exercise."

Tyler put his hands above his head as he groaned. He had a light stomach and he knew that today wasn't gonna be the challenge that he and Armani were gonna win. Armani looked over at him, kind of worried.

"So first, you'll spin yourself around ten times and you'll run to the first table where you'll be eating Casu Marzu, which is a really nasty cheese. Watch out for maggots, they kind of nest in there by the way." Nadia laughed.

Trinity cringed and bit while Tyler was gagging. Neither of them had seen the food but they knew it had to be nasty.

"After than, you have to do 25 jumping jacks, please try not to throw up. If you do and I see, I'll throw up after you." Nadia warned them.

"I can't do this one. This shit is too nasty. I can't do it." Caroline cussed at him.

"You ain't go no choice you got to play."

Alessandra rocked next to Ben. She seemed really uneasy about this challenge and Ben easily saw that. He patted her back and gave her a reassuring smile.

"We got this, Al. Don't stress about it." She patted her back, as she nodded.

"Then you'll go and eat two pieces of smothered lutefish. Running, you guys have to do 10 pushups total, going to drink Kumis. I mean that's a pretty nasty drink guys. So then you guys have to do ten squats. Get those asses bigger girls."

Alijah clapped her hands, "I know that's right. Gotta get a booty some how."

"After drinking that, you guys need to eat or drink Scorpion soup and don't worry, the tails were taken off. Next you'll just run to go and drink the blended version of all of that. Then you just run to the finish line where I'll be standing with your waters. Simple." She shrugged.

"Of course your ass would say simple. You ain't gotta do this shit. We do." Odell sighed, rubbing his hand over his face.

"Whatever Odell, just don't think about it and try to win this challenge. Good luck to all of you. You ready?"

Everyone got in their running positions and when Nadia blew the horn, they were off.

Karl and I were the first people to make it to the cheese table and when I say that shit was nasty, it was disgusting. Words could not describe how awful the smell was and how awful it looked. I just wanted to throw up but I couldn't. Well at least not yet.
-Trinity

"Oh my gosh. Hell no, Karl." Trinity covered her mouth, gagging a bit.

"Come on Trinity. Just eat a piece of this so we can move on. Breathe through your mouth like this," Karl ate a portion of the cheese. He too began to gag but he did scarf it down.

"What the fuck, Steph!"

Caroline screamed as Steph, shoved the cheese down his mouth. She couldn't do it after she noticed flies flying around it. She felt like throwing up before she even ate it but she wouldn't be the only one to do that because Tyler began to puke.

"Oh shit! Tyler are you okay?" Armani stayed back a bit, not wanting to smell the throw up or anything.

"Fuck no. I can't do this bullshit. It ain't gonna work." Tyler spit into the grass.

"You have to make it work. We can't afford to lose another challenge Tyler. We got to win at least one. Let this be the one. Come on and man up, Tyler. Let's win." Armani tried to talk to him.

Ben and Alessandra moved onto the lutefish with Odell and Alijah not far behind them. Ben had choked the fish down his throat while Alessandra was mentally preparing herself.

"Okay, you can do this. Just eat it. Don't think just eat." She breathed in and out.

"Come on Al, eat it. Don't chew it swallow it. Mush it up a bit and swallow it."

Ben didn't know that Odell and Alijah were listening and that forced them to do what he said and eat the fish first.

"Yes, come Lijah. Do five push ups and I'll do five. Right here." Odell got on the floor and did the push up like it was nothing.

I don't work out. I never have and after today, I probably never will. I think it's a lot to do and after eating this food they want us to throw up.
-Alijah

"I can't do the rest." Alijah whined as she got up from two pushups.

Odell rolled his eyes and did the rest of her push ups. They then moved onto the other food.

"Oh my gosh, I'm gonna throw up again!" Trinity cried out as they got to the Scorpion soup.

Team Blue, which consisted of Ben and Alessandra were running to meet up with them after they did their squats. Tyler and Amari were stuck on the lutefish because Tyler couldn't do it. Odell and Alijah were at the also at the scorpion soup while Stephen and Caroline were at the Kumis.

"Shit, come on Al. Drink the water and I'll eat the scorpions." Ben tried to help her.

"If I eat another thing then I'm gonna throw up Ben. I can't do it."

I felt like I was truly gonna throw up. My stomach felt so full and I kept gagging even after we ate the stuff.  I was trying to eat everything in a clean way but it wasn't working out and not to mention the exercises in between them. Oh God.
-Alessandra

Caroline and Stephen made their way to the scorpion soup as they were doing their squats. Stephen had looked at her then at Karl.

"Did you ever talk to him?" Stephen asked.

"Yeah but he was acting dumb. He was like you want me to do what and when I told him that I wanted him to throw the challenge, he was still looking like he was dumb." Caroline told him.

"Maybe he really is dumb like how do you not understand that. It's really simple. You just try to come in last place. I think the casting people should have did an IQ test or something."

Caroline finished her squats first as she ran to the soup. Armani and Tyler were still trying to get pass the fish.

"Tyler, come on. Everyone else is ahead of us. Let's hurry up and get this done." Armani tried to speak to him.

"Armani, I can't do it. It's not gonna happen." Tyler said leaned over clutching his stomach.

Armani sighed before she threw her hands up and leaned down to Tyler.

"Tyler listen to me. Get you ass up and eat that fucking food. We can't afford to come in last place anymore. I know you have a weak stomach and I get that but I need you to please throw this food down your throats before I do it for you." Armani cussed at him.

She lowkey scared the shit out of me when she started cussing. It's been her saying 'You got this Tyler' or 'come on' but now she cussing and threatening me so I know she serious about it but I don't think we can make a comeback.
-Tyler

Odell and Alijah were the first to make it over to the last station.

"Hell yeah. Come on and win this. Drink this hurry up." Odell pushed the drink to Alijah.

"Why I gotta drink it? You drink it!" She pushed it back.

They continued to push their drink back and forth as Trinity and Karl made their way there with Ben and Alessandra close by.

They were all drinking it except for Odell and Alijah who were still arguing.

"You talk so much bullshit, Odell. Just drink the fucking mess." Alijah argued with him.

"You are a mess so you drink it."

Karl had finished up the rest of the drink and they ran for the finish line. Nadia blew the horn once they made it letting everyone know it was over.

"Karl and Trinity has won! They get 100 points added to their total. Ben and Alessandra get 80 because they came in second. Odell and Alijah get 60 while Stephen and Caroline get 40. Tyler and Armani get 20 points." Nadia announced.

Everyone walked to the finish line where the waters were.

"We would've won if you wasn't arguing like a little girl." Odell told Alijah.

She kissed her lips and replied to him, "We would've won if you wasn't acting like a dick."

Nadia cleared her throat before she made another announcement.

"When you go inside, there will be a screen that shows all of the teams current and total points.

--------------

We go back in the house, everyone's feeling sick after we ate all of that nasty stuff so we all decided to just chill together in the living room. That way we can also see that Karl and Myself are in the lead. Trust me, hard work pays off💪🏽
-Trinity

Team Blue: 260points
Team Red: 280 points
Team Green: 140 points
Team Yellow: 100 points
Team Orange: 100 points

"Man we tied with Tyler's bitch ass?!" Odell kissed his lips and said.

"Well maybe we wouldn't be if you did what you were suppose to do and drink the stuff." Alijah rolled her eyes.

"And why couldn't you do it?"

"Because your bitch ass don't do shit anyway. Does drinking that shit take that much effort?"

Odell rolled his eyes and sat next to Trinity on the opposite couch. Alijah took a seat in between Ben and Alessandra.

Alessandra clapped her hands and started talking.

"Why don't we go around and say why we need or want the money. I'll start. I want the money because I'm trying to finish college debt free." She told them.

"What are you trying to become?" Karl asked.

"A lawyer then a judge."

"Well gone ahead and get that paper bitch." Caroline laughed a bit.

Stephen then started to speak, "I have two daughters, Riley and Ryan. I want to win the money so I can split the money up and give it to them so they can have it."

"That's so sweet, Steph. What do they look like?" Alijah asks him.

Stephen pulled out his phone and found a picture of his children and girlfriend. He passed it around to Alijah who immediately awed when she saw his children.

"They're so cute. I didn't even know you had a girlfriend."

"Yeah. They're my life right now."

Odell cleared his throat and stood up. He walked out of the room and left. Caroline then explained why she wanted the money.

"I just want to help out my family with the money. Especially my mom."

Alijah scoffed lowly, "How would your mom feel if she knew that you had sex on the second night?"

Everyone continued to talk and get to know each other better. I feel like we kind of created a bond but at the same time, it's not gonna be a big one because we still look at each other as competitors. The competition blocks the chances for friendship in this house.
