The latest ‘The Challenge’ 42 Episode 6, titled “Leave Room for Jesus,” featured the remaining 18 participants from teams Blue, Gray, and Orange. Before revealing the Daily Challenge, show host TJ Lavin asked if any of the teams wanted to change their captains. Earlier, the teams chose their permanent captains, but they had a chance to choose “mutiny” and appoint new captains. However, none of the teams wanted to do that, so he continued with explaining the daily challenge, “Trial by Terror.”

For that, participants had to perform the task on a platform hanging in the air at 30 feet, over water. Two platforms were separated by different-colored rings that contestants had to hang on, depending on the color they were asked to choose. Those who grabbed the wrong ring would fall in the water. The task was to find the key by following certain colored rings throughout the platform. “Going from color to color, all the way across…as fast as you can,” added the host. Notably, the team that sends the most players to the other end of the platform will win the challenge and save themselves from the upcoming elimination.

After an exciting challenge, Team Gray won as three of their teammates completed the task. As a reward, they earned safety from the upcoming elimination arena. “So Blue and Orange, now, it's up to the captains of the Orange and the Blue team to send one girl from the team to battle it out for their life in this game,” announced the host. At the elimination arena, the host asked the teams to share their nominees. Team Orange captain Tori chose Deb. For Team Blue, Josh chose Cara Maria to compete against Deb in the elimination challenge.

Deb and Cara Maria went through the “Air Time” challenge. For that, the host announced, “We have eight rolling machines and two giant puzzle boards. Each rolling machine has a giant balloon connected to the front of it. So as you roll it, it blows up with air…revealing a code of symbols.” The participants had to match that code with one of the columns on their puzzle board. “You’re gonna continue this process for all four rolling machines. First one to get it done will win tonight’s elimination and stay in the game,” added TJ Lavin. The elimination arena ended with Cara Maria winning the challenge. It meant the end of Deb’s journey on the show. While leaving the competition, Deb told the cameras she had learned so much and made lifelong friends, and that she was definitely going to miss Will from Team Orange.
