This week, on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, a new episode of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras premiered, showcasing intense confrontations involving cast member Cory Wharton following a physical daily challenge.
During the episode, Cory and Derrick clashed verbally, leading Derrick to hurl his vest at Cory. Subsequently, a heated argument erupted between Cory and Josh, ignited by Cory’s frustration over being voted into elimination.
Viewers were quick to respond to the altercation between Cory and Josh on social media. One user expressed their enthusiasm on X:
“Yes Cory, go after Josh and tear him apart.”
“Seeing Josh deal with confrontation is just sad now… I miss when he was an unpredictable troublemaker; now he’s just overly political, trying to wiggle out of shady situations,”another fan remarked.
“CORY IS EATING JOSH ALIVE, get rid of his phony self!”a tweet stated.
Fans of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras critiqued Josh’s gameplay:
“Josh’s social game remains weak. It’s nothing new, but how can you protect Bananas while throwing your friends under the bus?”a viewer commented.
“Nah, I actually support Josh this time. The vote was 2 to 5 and Kaycee isn’t getting any heat,”one fan offered.
“Cory thoroughly dismantled Josh’s fake persona during their argument. Cory and Kaycee both lack guts. Even Kyland, from Era 4, sided with Cory,”a tweet expressed.
Additional insights from fans of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras included:
“Josh constantly throws others under the bus… he never accepts responsibility for his actions,”one fan noted.
“This is the Josh I wanted to see—screaming over everyone to be the loudest! And Cory, taking things sooo personally will always hold you back from winning these challenges,”a viewer chimed in.
Cory confronts Josh regarding voting him into elimination during Episode 8 of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras
In season 40, episode 8 of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras, a Gladiator-themed physical task created tension among contestants. Derrick and Cory exchanged words when Cory accused Derrick of not taking the challenge seriously due to his injured leg. As Cory retreated, Derrick threw a vest, leading security to intervene to prevent escalation.
Within the house, the daily challenge victors, Theo and Jenny, chose Cory and Averey for the elimination task, which displeased Cory. He expressed his anger towards Josh and Kaycee for not supporting him, resulting in a shouting match where Cory criticized Josh’s strategic choices.
Cory implored Josh to empathize with his situation, raising his voice as he rebuffed Josh’s concern by declaring, “Don’t ask if I’m okay; I can’t stand that nonsense.”
“Don’t ask him if I’m okay, I hate that stuff,”Cory proclaimed.
Despite Josh insisting his intentions were genuine, Cory persisted in his outburst. He further admonished Josh for underestimating him, emphasizing Josh’s own voting behavior.
“You think I was going to sway Theo while you were attacking him the whole f*cking challenge?”Josh challenged.
When Cory questioned Josh about the vote count, Josh claimed he had told his team he didn’t want to participate in voting against Cory since they shared a close bond.
“I don’t have time for this nonsense,”Cory replied dismissively.
Viewers took to the internet to share their opinions, largely siding with Cory throughout the argument.
The next episode of The Challenge season 40 is set to air on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, on MTV.
