The Challenge season 29 episode 6, titled "The Mile-High Club," takes place in the beautiful city of Cartagena, Colombia. The episode kicks off with the competitors preparing for a unique challenge, which requires them to jump off a helicopter and land in the water.
Before the contestants start the challenge, host TJ Lavin explains the rules and opens the floor for bets. The competitors are willing to put their money on the line and wager on their fellow participants. Each player pledges a specific amount of money that is placed in a pot, and the winning team takes it all.
The challenge requires the teams to take turns jumping off a helicopter into the ocean and swimming to a platform. The first team to have all of its players on the platform and ring a bell wins.
As expected, the challenge doesn't go as smoothly as planned. Some players struggle with the height of the helicopter, while others face problems with swimming in the ocean. The pressure to win the bet adds another level of intensity to the challenge. Allies are made, and rivalries are formed as each team tries to outsmart the other.
Apart from the challenge, the episode also dives into the personal lives and alliances of the competitors. Romance is brewing between two competitors but has yet to be established, while others struggle to keep their alliances in check. Old rivalries and grudges are reignited as the teams compete against each other.
The episode ends with the elimination round. The winners of the challenge will choose two teams to go against each other. The losing team will face an intense elimination round, which could ultimately send them home.
Overall, "The Mile-High Club" is an intense episode that showcases the physical and mental strength of the competitors. The added element of gambling brings extra excitement to the challenge, making it one of the most thrilling episodes of the season so far.
