The Challenge 40 recap: Contestants face off in Vietnam as competition heats up

In the latest episode of The Challenge, the cast enjoyed a Burger King-sponsored challenge called "Fire Plunge" in Vietnam. Players had to hot-wire a car, jump off a cliff, and swim to the finish. Jordan excelled, while Cara Maria struggled. Derek and Cory faced off in the elimination round, where Derek's strategic approach helped him win against Cory in a cinder-block puzzle challenge. Derek's victory means he can choose targets for the next women's elimination, selecting Rachel, Jenny, and Cara Maria. T.J. announced a location change for the next challenge, hinting at a new setting that is "less green." The cast prepares for the upcoming challenges as the competition intensifies.
