Justin Hinsley eliminated Chris Underwood on The Challenge by winning “Chain Reaction,” which required moving heavy blocks and fitting them into a container. Underwood said he built a large lead but spent 45 minutes unable to solve the final puzzle.
Underwood was guaranteed an elimination spot as Team Blu-Ray’s only male member, but a daily win gave him a say in choosing his opponent. He asked captain Adrienne Naylor to send Hinsley, whom he considered his best option over C.T. Tamburello, Johnny Bananas or Will Gagnon; she agreed.
Underwood said he expected a physical elimination, not a puzzle, and thought he could have beaten Hinsley in most other formats. He called the team-format season his favorite, saying it made him feel wanted and valued by his teammates.
