What I think they forgot is that one of them will have to go up against Landon and the only person who could beat him is Grandpa Mark.

It's the girls turn and Rachel asks what they want to do. Diem says that "everyone should say a name out of their mouth." Most people call that "voting" but I can't be sure. Rachel pretends it's about strategy and picks Diem. Of course, if it was about strategy you would pick someone who wouldn't stand in your way of $100,000 in the finals but we all know Rachel is a little evil so we're not surprised. Brit says Diem because she's a heartless witch and Aneesa says Diem because she would do whatever Rachel told her to do.

Brit asks Diem to tell them who she's going to choose and Diem refuses. She's not going to let any of them sleep well and wants them all to worry. Smart girl. But I'd bet she'd trade ten IQ points for ten pounds of muscle right now.

Back in the boys' room, Brad gives it a 'let's do this' like no one knows what's about to happen. To add insult to injury, they let Landon pull his own name out of the hat. Three times. Landon thinks it's crappy that he got picked when he has the best record. Well then Landon, you probably shouldn't have gone with the old 'let's put our votes in a cowboy hat' option. Proving he's just a pretty face, he tells Brad he's going to pick him.

The next day, everyone is lined up at the final duel and Landon chooses Brad. Mark knows he's guaranteed a spot in the finals and is already counting out his dollar bills.

Diem says that since her name came out of all three of their mouths (also known as "voting"), she doesn't feel bad for whomever she picks. And she probably shouldn't since they can all crush her like a bug. She picks Brit who says she knew it and that she's been preparing mentally and physically for this. In all of ten hours? Really? Diem knows Brit is a tough competitor but that she can beat her.

The guys are up first and Landon is so wound up right now, he can't stand himself. Yeah, well, I can't stand you right now either. And they're off. They each manage to grab each other's hook and they're supposed to run off and clip it on their own ring. Landon decides he would rather wrestle and starts body slamming Brad, which is a clear violation of Back Off Rules, Regulations and Standards. TJ laughs at Landon for not knowing the rules (which isn't actually funny) and Brad scores the first point.

The throwing, wrestling, kicking and smacking continues and Landon gets the second point. The next person to score, wins. Round three starts and Diem starts screeching "don't you dare" a hundred times over (which must be some sort of CT flashback) and even though I don't understand why, I would rather hear that than just one "baby" out of Tori's mouth.

Each of them gets the other one's hook but they're standing under Landon's ring. In a monster show of genius, Brad grabs the ring and swings it out of Landon's reach. This confuses the big ape long enough so Brad can run across the circle and clip the hook on his ring.

Landon chucks his helmet and is pissed because he knows the game was in his hands and he screwed it up. The hardest thing for him to deal with is that he won more than half the challenges and deserved to be in the finals. Not if you can't manage to convince three meatheads to vote based on performance you don't. But blah, blah, blah, he's grateful for the experience. Cue cheesy montage.
