“Genuinely think CT threw that,”a fan shared.
“The fact CT lost to Neimiah of all people is so foul and f*cked,”a tweet stated.

“Upset of the season: Nehemiah takes out CT… No more CT or Emily… this game just got a bit more boring for me,”another fan commented.
C.T. Tamburello and Tina Barta Eliminated from The Challenge: Battle of the Eras Episode 5
The Challenge season 40 episode 5 kicked off with another gripping daily challenge, where Era 1 finished in last place. With Tina and C.T. previously targeted, their defeat led them directly to elimination.
C.T. shared that he willingly volunteered to be one of Era 1’s targets. Despite their struggles in daily challenges, he noted the team performed significantly better in elimination rounds.
Having won the daily challenge, Era 4 had the authority to choose opponents for C.T. and Tina. Olivia and Kyland from Era 4 selected Nehemiah and Emily to compete against the esteemed pair.
The task, Getting Hammered, required contestants to remove 100 nails from one board and then nail 100 more into another. The first contestant to hit the buzzer after completing these phases would secure victory.
The female contestants were up first. Tina led by removing nails, while Emily eventually caught up. However, by the time Emily progressed to the second phase, Tina had already completed half of it and pressed her buzzer first to claim victory.
In the men’s round, the competition was tight. Nehemiah took the lead, but C.T. was not far behind. Unfortunately, C.T. lost, resulting in his elimination. Following the challenge, Nehemiah expressed his disbelief in a confessional:
“I think I just beat C.T. What the f*ck? For so long, I’ve wanted to be remembered among top competitors on The Challenge, and I think I’m finally starting to make my mark,”he said.
As news of Chris C.T. Tamburello’s elimination spread, fans took to various platforms to share their discontent.
