Episode 237 | "The Final Verdict" (S42E14)
This week on Love War Challenges, MTV Malik and Tyler Louder break down the explosive conclusion of The Challenge 42: Cutthroat! With Orange Team taking the championship, controversial medical decisions, and new champions crowned, the guys debate whether this final delivered!
🏆 Orange Team wins it all! Bananas earns his eighth championship, CT adds another victory, and Tori secures her second title. But was Orange Team's victory as dominant as it appeared, and did the ten-minute head start actually matter?
🔥 Was the final rigged? The guys revisit CT's medical treatment, Cassidy's struggles, and new information from post-season interviews. Did production handle both teams fairly, or do fans have a legitimate reason to question the results?
👑 Tori and Michele prove themselves! Tori solidifies her place among the greatest female Challengers, while Michele's impressive endurance, teamwork, and overnight performance earn major praise. Who was Orange Team's true MVP?
💰 The prize money controversy! Adrienne shares her winnings with Gray Team, Cara Maria gives her share back, and Tori splits Orange Team's money almost evenly. Who handled the captain's responsibility best?
⚔️ What's next for The Challenge? With Season 42 officially over, Malik and Tyler debate the show's future, potential All Stars return, and whether Bananas, CT, Jordan, and Tori belong on The Challenge Mount Rushmore!

Biased
Cool guys (Mikey P) do not send nude pictures of their girlfriend to other girls to ensure a threesome.
That’s cringeworthy.
