The Challenge Season 41 Episode 4 aired on August 20, 2025. The latest episode featured a daily challenge followed by an elimination. While Ben Davis and Michaela Bradshaw won the daily challenge, Johnny Bananas was eliminated from the show.

Ben and Michaela were able to solve the Sudoku before the competing teams and managed to win the daily challenge. Another team that came close to winning was CT and Adrienne.

On the other hand, Johnny Bananas and Leka were the losing team. As a result, they were sent into the elimination. Because the current week was a male elimination week, Johnny was up for the elimination challenge.

MTV describes the latest episode of The Challenge Season 41 as:

"The stakes are sky high, as one veteran shocks the house by getting last in the challenge. Hangnail, Gabe, looks to make a high risk move to earn back some favor. The challenge tests the players’ sense of direction and Sudoku."

The Challenge Season 41 Episode 4: What happened in the latest episode? Daily challenge, elimination, and more

The latest episode of the MTV show featured a daily challenge, Amazed. For that, teams were supposed to go through the maze of the shipping containers. While exploring the maze, they were supposed to find a Sudoku puzzle.

The puzzles were set up strategically. The ones that were closest to the exit were hardest. On the contrary, the easiest puzzles were placed farthest from the maze's exits. While the players often come across such puzzles, they face difficulties while solving them.

There have been many types of puzzles that The Challenge participants have been through. However, for the latest daily challenge, it took a considerable amount for the teams to solve it. Two leading teams were:

  1. Ben and Michaela,
  2. CT and Adrienne.

Teams were given 45 minutes to complete the task, which only Ben and Michaela were able to do. As a result, the two won the daily challenge in the latest episode. The losing team was Johnny Bananas and Leka.

After becoming the bottom team, Johnny was sent to the elimination challenge. Additionally, after winning the task, Ben and Michaela chose Derek C. to compete against Gabe for the jury vote. However, the jury chose Johnny Bananas to go against Gabe in the arena.

Elimination challenge titled Hold "Em Back featured Gabe against Johnny Bananas. There were two positions: offensive and defensive. At first, the offensive player was supposed to get three tokens and put them into the goals. It was supposed to be done while they were in the harness, attached to the rope.

On the other side of the wall, the defensive player had to correctly guess which role the offensive player was attached to. After determining the rope, they had to stop the competing player from finishing the task.

The task featured Gabe taking on the defensive role and correctly guessing Johnny Bananas' position. The task resulted in Gabe winning the elimination challenge with 2 minutes and 1 second, while Johnny's time was 11 minutes and 33 seconds.

As a result, Johnny Bananas was the fourth player to be eliminated from The Challenge Season 41.
