Kam Williams has a plan to make a play in the house in Newsweek's clip of Tuesday's episode of The Challenge: Final Reckoning.
Power is important in a Challenge house, and in Season 32, that power comes in the form of the power vote. By winning a challenge, a team is not only safe from elimination, but their vote counts as two. On Final Reckoning, those who are sent into Armageddon, the elimination round, choose their opponents from those who voted for them. That means whoever has the power vote has the potential to play a role in who goes in—without having to face that team themselves due to their immunity.
It's important to strategize on The Challenge and Kam is ready to put into effect her new plan, as shown in the sneak peek below.
"Everybody's favorite line is, 'Let's make a play. It's time to make a play. Play, play, play,'" she says. "I'm going to play this game way better than the boys ever did, and I'm going to make sure of it."
Whatever Kam's play is, it's something she's had in mind for a few days. "It'll work," she tells her partner, Kayleigh Morris, and Cara Maria Sorbello, whose partner is Marie Roda.
Cara Maria, in particular, should be interested to see what Kam's play is since she was the target the last time a team made a play. One of the ways to do so is for a winning team to use its power to make a challenge more difficult for another team and Brad Fiorenza and Kyle Christie just did just that to Cara Maria and Marie.
"Ideally, your first strategy when you're given a handicap to give to someone would be handicap the strongest team so you have your best chance at winning because, at the end of the day, it's about winning," Cara Maria told Newsweek. "If by chance your friends happen to be on the strongest team and you don't want to put any targets on your back, you would put the handicap on a [weak] team. You would essentially just waste your handicap advantage and just throw it on a team nobody cares about so you don't ruffle any feathers."
The teams also have to keep in mind that the redemption house means anyone they target may have a chance to earn their way back into the game.
The Challenge: Final Reckoning airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
