The Challenge: Double Agents cast
The 12th episode of The Challenge: Double Agents, titled “Tinker, Tailer, Bunny, Spy,” dove right in where the previous episode left off on a cliffhanger and it did not disappoint. Warning: This article contains spoilers for the 12th episode of The Challenge: Double Agents which aired on March 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
The episode began with TJ Lavin announcing that the security breach was not the return of another cast member but was instead a double elimination with the team receiving the second-most votes in the house, Josh Martinez and Nany Gonzalez, joining Devin Walker and Gabby Allen in the crater. Chris “CT” Tamburello and Tula “Big T” Fazakerley found themselves with all the power, as they were able to choose both of those teams’ opponents.
Since it was a male elimination, CT asked Devin who he wanted to face and Devin called out Darrell Taylor without hesitation while CT put himself in the Crater to face Josh. In the “Dead Ringer” elimination, Devin and Darrell were neck-and-neck but the four-time champion was able to finish his puzzle quicker, defeating the Are You the One? alum. CT powered through his elimination, finishing the puzzle as Josh was still collecting his pieces.
After Josh and Devin’s eliminations, CT shocked the house by switching partners in an extreme way, calling Kam Williams down in excitement and angering Kyle Christie and Big T in the process. Darrell chose to stay with Amber Borzotra while Cory Wharton picked Gabby Allen and Big T ended up with Nam Vo. The rest of the episode saw the drama building with the fallout of CT’s enthusiastic partner switch-up.
The episode ended as the challenge, this one a night-time mission, was just beginning. Unfortunately, Ultimate Beastmaster contestant Nam Vo was deemed unable to compete due to a back injury and was medically disqualified from The Challenge, making Big T a rogue agent. That means she will not be able to compete in the next elimination, likely to be a female elimination day and one of the last chances for the women to win a gold skull.

That elimination was RIGGED. @mtvrrdarrell dropped off the podium OUT of the drop zone. He CHEATED and @ChallengeMTV PRODUCTION let him win bc he is OLD…
Actually that’s bullshit. Darrell beat me fair and square. He deserves the skull. I was outperformed, good win brother🍻
— Devin Walker (@MTVDevinWalker) March 4, 2021
Fessy Shafaat called out Devin and said, “I don’t know what’s funnier.. coming after big brother the whole game just to get eliminated before all of us (even josh) orrrr saying Darrell sucks at puzzles and choosing him for a puzzle elimination and losing @MTVDevinWalker truly is tv gold.” Darrell shared:
Devin is the man this season! Had me ctfu all season 🤣 #hilarious @ChallengeMTV #TheChallenge36

It’s weird experiencing this bittersweet feeling when Devin loses but Darrell wins. Like I wanted Darrell to win but like 🤷🏼♀️ Devins on CT’s side #TheChallenge36

Needless to say, the moment CT turned his back on Big T and chose Kam as a partner was a highly talked-about scene online, both among cast members and fans. Here were some of the reactions from the cast:
That awkward moment when you & your boyfriend watch all these guys argue over you 🙃 #TheChallenge36

Fans also reacted to the scene, as well as the fallout during the episode. One fan wrote, “I just wanna hug Big T. That’s my baby and she doesn’t deserve any of this.” Another said, “Everyone is acting like Big T and CT weren’t one of three teams to have won two dailies this season already. Not forgetting the two puzzle dailies she dominated and could have won if the little mistakes weren’t made. Big T is not weak. Simply underrated.”
Of course I don’t blame him for choosing Kam but omg, how rude to Big T. 😡 That would be humiliating. #TheChallenge36
— Whitney Mitchell (@_whitneyAM) March 4, 2021
One fan said, “Why do I feel so bad for Big T. Logically, CT made a smart choice. Emotionally, he wrecked us all.” One added, “I have always been Team CT, but Big T totally didn’t deserve that.” One fan summarized, “It’s not a matter of CT being right or wrong about Big T being ready for a Final, or going back on his word & picking a partner he felt he had a better chance with. It’s the spectacle he made of picking Kam and humiliating Big T, followed by an awful apology.”
Nam having deal with the stress of being Lolo’s partner all season to only get Medically DQ’d the first day he gets to compete without her is some sick twisted fate.
I hope he gets a second chance. #TheChallenge36 #TheChallenge pic.twitter.com/f7o5LyWUPG
