Love, Sweat, and Tears is the fifth episode of The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II.

Description

The house is turned upside down when the ongoing feud between two power couples comes to a head at eliminations.

Challenge

Location: Pedasí, Panama
Challenge: Open Arms
Teams will be placed on a structure suspended over water with zip-lines leading across the quarry. Male players will start on a zip-line with a sled while female players will start on a zip-line with a hanging bag. On TJ's signal both zip-lines will start going and the male is tasked with jumping from his sled onto his partner's hanging bag where they will then hold on for as long as they can. When they can no longer hang on teams must jump into the water, swim around a buoy, and return to the shore to ring a bell and stop their time. The team with the fastest time will win and nominate another team for the Dome. The team with the slowest time will automatically be sent to the Dome.

Power Couple	Last-place

Elimination

Dome: Strung Out
Similar to the "Hog Tie" elimination from The Ruins, all players will start strung from their hands and knees by a pole. On TJ's signal, female players must shimmy their way across their pole and ring a bell before shimmying back to the starting point. Once they have returned to the starting point their male partner will be able to start and must repeat the same task. The team to complete this first will win while the losers will be eliminated.
