'The Challenge: Double Agents' is on steroids. The tasks have improved, the difficulty levels are being raised every episode. The fight for gold skull — which has been dubbed as 'ticket to finale' — has intensified and the agents are showing no signs of stopping, which was evident when Josh Martinez blasted through the puzzle task despite the initial hiccup.

Josh beat Demetrius 'Mechie' Harris but not before he struggled to throw iron balls through a board and it didn't help that his fellow competitors couldn't stop laughing at him. He was ecstatic about having won his first elimination challenge in three years. "I’m not gonna lie, they were like 50-, 70-pound medicine balls. So trying to throw them overhand was not the move," he said of the task in an interview with ET Canada.

But his joys will be cut short, apparently. In this week's episode of 'The Challenge', Chris 'CT' Tamburello will go in a head-to-head battle with Josh in the 'Dead Ringer' task. The Challenge Fandom spoiled it when Season 36 premiered that CT will beat Josh in episode 10. But we have to wait till the end to see what really happens. 



 

While you begin with tonight's episode, here's a quick recap.

Amber Borzotra and Darrell Taylor won the 'Interrogation' daily challenge, which gave them a special power. They were able to decide and choose people they'd like to send into elimination. Theresa Jones, who had acquired quite a few targets on her back, was made to compete against Kaycee Clark, who was more than happy to go for the golden skull. A handful of fans criticized Amber for it because it could have been her only chance to win the skull instead she gave it away. But, we'll see how this decision works out for Amber.
