We’ve officially hit the halfway point of The Challenge: Vets & New Threats. And Season 41 commemorated the occasion in a major way, as the remaining competitors ran a grueling “mini-final” that ended in an incredibly controversial fashion. But they had to put that to the side (though one failed to do so), as there was a bigger matter at hand: Picking your partner for the rest of the game.
Check out our spoiler-filled recap below and find out who was eliminated tonight.

Who was eliminated on The Challenge: Vets & New Threats Season 41 tonight?

Due to the “Lock In” picking of partners for the rest of the season, nobody was eliminated in this week’s episode. However, TJ Lavin did warn the contestants that they would be going home in pairs from now on.
Who won the daily challenge in The Challenge: Vets & New Threats Season 41 tonight?
Nobody!
Due to the rampant cheating that happened with multiple contestants (see below), production decided to completely nullify the results of the daily. That means that the contestants picked their partners in the order of points accumulated up until this episode.

The Challenge Season 41 cheating scandal, explained
One stage of this week’s daily featured a Challenge staple: Eating. The contestants struggled through having to stomach a whole onion, some garlic bulbs, and peppers. However, as the challenge went along, some began to call out that a number of players had been discarding their vegetables to the side, rather than actually eating them. As a result, a couple of them decided to do the same, frustrated that people were getting away with cutting corners. After the daily, they were chided by TJ for their blatant cheating. And, while nobody was disqualified from the game because of it, it nullified the results of the daily completely.
