Natalie Anderson may be a rookie on 'The Challenge: Double Agents' but let's not forget she also participated in 'The Amazing Race' and 'Survivor', which means she has what it takes to cross the finish line on this MTV-backed competition series as well. And she proved it in this week's episode of the show when she went head-to-head with Ashley Mitchell on the fire escape and won against her. 

Even though at that point it seemed Ashley had the advantage because she had easily maneuvered herself over the loop of the log that was afire but she gained strength and pace after a while and reached the end. As the winner, Natalie not only extended her stay on the show but also earned herself a choice. 

Host Thomas Joseph 'TJ' Lavin told her she could now pick her partner, which meant she can stick with Wes Bergmann or go with Chris 'CT' Tamburello. She was already amused that she had so much power but what really got her grinning was she could pick anyone from the remaining lot. 

So, should Natalie stick with Wes or go for any of the other guys on the show? Leroy Garrett says she should leave Wes because he will burn her in the end. Meanwhile, fans have weighed in with their thoughts on the matter as well and most think that the first thing she needs to do is dump Wes as her partner on the show.  

"NATALIE DUMP WES ASS! HE WILL BRING YOU DOWN! #TheChallenge36," a fan commented, while another shared: "I want Natalie to leave Wes behind so badly. #TheChallenge36." "If Natalie was smart she’d drop Wes ass and pick up CT. #TheChallenge36," a fan expressed, while another pointed out: "If I'm Natalie, I'm switching fast. Because Wes is going to be targeted every time most likely #TheChallenge36." "It would be smart for Natalie to ditch Wes. He’s the reason why she was there in the first place and it would be beneficial for her to get with somebody who is in the numbers to ride that final. #TheChallenge36," one viewer posted.
