Split Decision is the ninth episode of The Challenge: Ride or Dies.
Description[]
After the intense mini-final challenge "Haul or Nothing," one pair of Ride or Dies must make difficult decisions that will change the entire game.
Challenge[]
Location: Argentina
Challenge: Haul or Nothing
Teams carry a heavy plank and undergo a six-mile race, completing three checkpoints along the way.
- Checkpoint 1: Teams use their plank and three barrels to cross a field without touching the ground before transferring sandbags to the second checkpoint.
- Checkpoint 2: Teams can place their sandbags on a trailing team's sled to sabotage them, before pulling their own sled across a field and stacking four cubes on top so each side shows four unique symbols. Once complete, teams transfer six tyres with cities labelled on them to the third checkpoint.
- Checkpoint 3: Teams must transfer the tyres over a wall and arrange the cities from north to south before proceeding to the finish line.
The first team to cross the finish line wins and becomes team captains as part of a format change for the season.

Team Draft[]
In the Zone, captains Faysal & Moriah chose the new teams in a midseason twist. Challengers in grey cells indicate that they were placed on that team after their partner was chosen by the captain of the opposite team.
