The Frantic Hurricane

The Frantic Hurricane is the sixth episode of The Challenge: Revolution.
== Description ==
Gera attempts to change and adapt his strategy after returning to the game while Nikki moves into the challenge house for her first time and meets her challengers. The Instahoes are forced to try and put aside their differences in orderAs things start to get heated, The Cheesecakes finally decide to make their move... but against who?
== Introduction ==
Back in the game now, Gera and Nikki immediately begin talking to the challengers in order to secure themselves into an actual alliance. The Instahoes, already have the majority, begin to isolate themselves from the remainder of the cast... not conversing with Gera and Nikki. Frantic and Fribble, knowing that The Cheesecakes will be in trouble soon, put in work to rope Gera and Nikki onto their side.
Within the Instahoes, Angel continues to defect and get closer to Fribble. While 3vxv begins to regret his decision to nominate two of his own for elimination and attempts to earn their trust back.
== Challenge ==
Challenge: Hill CrossingTo start, players will begin on one side of a hilled obstacle. On go, their goal is to climb the slippery hill and get to the other side, without falling off, before the specific time for that round runs out. This process will repeat until there is only one male and one female remaining. The two winners will then add a third person to the troika.
Results:
Troika 	Troika 	Troika
Winners	Winners	Addition
Adore 	Brendan	Triplet
Notes
*The original daily challenge was a pairs challenge that had to be changed due to an error with the mechanics.

TripletRW: Rome 	This season has been a roller coaster and at this point I'm honestly surprised that I haven't been into an elimination yet. I'm extremely thankful towards Brendan and Adore this week because being in the troika will allow me to volunteer for elimination if I feel like I can come out of it with a red skull.
AdoreRW: Bangkok 	Winning this challenge was honestly crucial, there is clearly a huge ass alliance here and I'm not going to take that lightly. I've been having a blast pitting 3vxv and Aidan, the two winners, against each other... now it's time to test these previous champions abilities in the warzone.
FribbleRW: Boise 	This far into the game I feel that The Cheesecakes have gone through the season pretty easily. Obviously the Instagram alliance have their sights set on Jonas, but besides that we're doing good. Now that a lot of these older players have earned their red skulls, I know that we're in danger soon... so we need to take a shot at them before they take a shot at us.
FranticRW: Houston 	There has never been a more perfect opportunity to take a shot at the Instagram alliance than now. If we can convince enough people to flip and send two of them in, Brendan and Triplet have control of the troika and can send whoever they want into elimination to take two members of this overpowered alliance OUT of the game once and for all.
JonasRW: Return to the States	At this point, the majority of the house seems to be gunning for me... so after losing the challenge I am fully expecting to be sent back into elimination by the house vote. Fribble and Frantic let me know that they have a plan, and if they can keep me safe then I will definitely be in debt to them in this game. It feels good to finally be a part of something!

== Continued Episode Narration ==
After Frantic's successful attempt to get one of the Instahoes into elimination, she asks Brendan to nominate her for elimination so that she can volunteer for elimination if she feels that she can win. Meanwhile, Angel does damage control with the Instahoes after betraying their trust yet again.

MizApocalypse 	No joke I literally voted for Jonas and Gera as burns and they both almost went into the warzone, chile not this! I literally thought that was so funny, but then I walk up to see who the troika has nominated and I'm obviously annoyed to be an option. I'm not feeling worried but I'm still a bit surprised by their decision.
AngelRW: Ontario 	Being at the end of that vote was extremely stressful. If the Instahoes weren't already aware that I'm over working with them, now they know. Not that I even voted for either of them, but I could have easily helped Cirie get out of this elimination if I really wanted to.
IconRW: Topeka 	*cricket noises*
VeroRW: Charlotte	I finally hear my name! I'm no longer invisible! Sadly, I don't actually want to volunteer for this elimination. I want my red skull obviously, but I don't want to have to face off against Icon for it. I think that Fribble will most likely ask the troika to vote him in if one of them don't volunteer, so I should be safe either way!
CirieBloodlines 	After the vote tied between myself and Jonas... I'm just like at this point, I don't care. I want my skull, so I ask for it. I'm not gonna tuck my tail in my legs and be scared to go in. Let's get it on and popping. I'm mentally ready to win and I'm just gonna go in and get it done. No excuses and no mistakes can be made tonight, it's time to get it done.

Notes
*There was no male vote, because Triplet volunteered to face off against Icon for his red skull.
Warzone: Bell RingerPlayers will try to smash Thai idols with the rope connected to the bell suspended 15 feet above. This elimination was completed in complete darkness, making it harder for players to see their ropes, but the bells glew in the dark. The first player to smash all 16 idols will win.

IconRW: Topeka 	Going home at the same point as last season is honestly devastating, I don't feel like I have proven myself any more than I did on my first season... I know a third chance is a lot to ask for but I am definitely hoping to have another chance to prove what I am capable of.
FranticRW: Houston	I wish there was a reason for my loss, but honestly it just wasn't meant to be. I gave this game my all but when it came down to elimination I was just too panicked to perform how I had hoped. I hope that this isn't the last you see of me, if I get the chance I will be back and ready to actually prove myself!
