'The Challenge 40' Turns Individual as Johnny Bananas Becomes the Center of Drama

We've moved on to the next phase of The Challenge 40. But one of the recently-eliminated players' presence still lingered over the episode to follow. With the game turning individual, being a target and winning dailies were more important than ever. And one person used their new power to take a big shot at a friend, as one of the Challenge GOATs was forced to fight with his back against the wall.

Check out more information about tonight's episode below and find out who was eliminated.

Who was eliminated on The Challenge 40 tonight?

Ryan Kehoe

Despite not appearing on MTV in over ten years, Ryan came into Season 40 as a more complete, confident version of himself, following his decision to get sober. After winning the first elimination, he was able to have a fairly comfortable ride in the game, given his connections to the women across the season. That rankled other people on his team, namely Johnny Bananas, who felt Ryan was coasting while not being a valuable team member. When the game turned individual, Ryan was selected as a target, and got sent into elimination when a frustrating mistake got him finishing in last in the daily. Tori made a big move in honor of Devin, sending Bananas in against him. Despite being a big underdog, Ryan was ready to shock the world and send the seven-time champ home. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, as his lack of skills on a quad had him pumping the brakes on his time in the game.
