Challenge Fans React to Kyland’s Elimination of Devin: “Well Done”

This week, episode 9 of The Challenge: Battle of the Eras aired on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, featuring teams engaged in yet another daily challenge followed by an elimination round that resulted in two contestants being sent home.

Rachel Robinson, the last remaining member of Era 1, found herself a target by default. The other contestants under scrutiny post-elimination included Ryan and Laurel from Era 2, Tori and Devin from Era 3, and Kyland and Kaycee representing Era 4.

Rachel emerged victorious in the daily challenge, while the elimination task had Devin and Tori face off against Kaycee and Kyland. Ultimately, it was the male contestant from Era 4, Kyland, who eliminated Devin, while the Era 3 female competitor sent Kaycee home from the MTV series.

Fans took to social media to voice their reactions to Kyland’s elimination of Devin, praising the performance of the Era 4 participant. One user mentioned on X:

“Great job, Kyland. Bye-bye Devin!”

“Happy to see Kyland eliminate Devin. Enjoy your Mickey Mouse Ride or Dies W,”another fan commented.

“I appreciate both West and Devin, but Kyland is indeed the smartest player to grace The Challenge,”read a tweet.

Participants from The Challenge season 40 described Kyland as having “destroyed”Devin:

“Kyland absolutely wiped the floor with Devin. What happened to BIG BROTHER Devin????”a tweet expressed.

“As poor as Devin performed, Kyland went in and secured another elimination win! Excluding Challenge USA, Kyland has a record of 7-2 in eliminations with four victories against champions, often winning decisively! With some big names gone, he’s climbing the ranks of contenders,”a fan noted.

“HAHAHAHA not Devin having 2, while Kyland boasts 38,”another tweet claimed.

The excitement surrounding The Challenge: Battle of the Eras continued as fans commented:

“The Vacation Alliance is finally facing some karma! Rachel is serving justice by pitting them against one another. Two contestants from Kaycee, Tori, Devin, and Kyland are leaving this episode. Entertainment, indeed, triumphed tonight,”one user stated.

“Is it part of his contract not to engage in physical eliminations? I’d like to see the return of the dice from the Gauntlet for selecting elimination types. Or just bring back Jess McCain,”a fan mused.

“Kyland’s victory was clean”— Devin comments on his exit from The Challenge: Battle of the Eras

During episode 9, Devin faced off against Kyland in the Cable Connection Showdown elimination task, where they were required to untangle and connect cables to illuminate a motherboard showcasing logos from all seasons of the MTV series.

Kyland triumphed over Devin, thus eliminating the winner of season 38 from the competition. Following his exit, Devin spoke with Entertainment Weekly regarding the recent events, commending Kyland’s skills.

“I didn’t have it in me. I went up against someone who was completely focused, so Kyland rightfully earned a clean victory. I can’t take that from him,”he expressed.

Devin further reflected on the importance of being “graceful”in both victory and defeat, acknowledging that he exhibited grace in this significant loss. Delving deeper into the elimination ordeal, he stated he would have likely beaten “99 percent of the Earth”in that task, but his bout with Kyland was a “blowout.”

Looking back on his tenure in the franchise, he mentioned that his “elimination record”was “remarkable.”Devin Walker indicated that he belongs to a select group of participants with a “winning elimination record”who are still actively competing in The Challenge. He also shared that he had secured a championship alongside victories in two other reality competitions and felt he had little left to demonstrate.
