What happened in The Challenge season 39 finale episode?

The Challenge Season 39 winner Emanuel Neagu, whom fans of the show will undoubtedly remember as a key player during the entire season, now joins the ranks of exceptional athletes like Tori Deal, Johnny Bananas, Jordan Wiseley, and CT Tamburello.

Emanuel had to make a critical choice at the beginning of the second segment of the exhausting two-episode final: whom to send to the second elimination round.

Given that the formidable Corey Lay was also a contender, viewers may have been dubious about his selection of Nurys Mateo, but in the end, it proved to be a smart pick as Nurys would go on to place second and establish himself as Emanuel's main rival for the crown.

The participants begin with a tough nocturnal task in which the top three finishers receive their choice of comfort items, while the bottom two finishers receive nothing.

TJ threatened to harshly penalize anyone who nods off. Nobody nodded off, and Nurys won both the pillow and the blanket—which she split with Emanuel, who came in second.

The following day was a maze of obstacles and checkpoints. Although Emanuel had a significant lead at first, things were evened out on the five-tiered obstacle course.

Sudoku stalled Emanuel, and Nurys almost caught up with him. Berna, Colleen, Corey—who needed more practice with his balance beam—and Nurys followed him, but he still crossed the finish line first.
