Now that crowd favorites CT and Cara Maria have officially been given the boot from MTV's The Challenge: Free Agents, Laurel is even more determined to be the last contestant standing and take home the grand prize.

Fans Threaten To Quit Watching 'The Challenge' If CT Eliminated?

In a trailer for the upcoming episode of the hit show, Laurel ironically teams up with Bananas for the white water rafting challenge against the rest of her cast mates. While they face harsh waves and what looks like cold temperatures, she can't help but exclaim, "I'm so happy to be here."

At the end of the challenge she tells cameras, "That was so much fun -- white water rafting! I am so happy to have the lead and I want to continue this lead until the end."

Laurel's Housemates Team Up Against Her?

She also tells Bananas, "I'm so glad to have had you as my partner on that."

The feelings definitely seem to be mutual as Bananas gushes to the cameras about working with Laurel.

"Laurel and I put up a great time on the first stage. Laurel is one of those people, she's good at everything."

Thankfully for them, the winner isn't based on popularity with viewers. It's interesting to see these two teaming up, especially since fans aren't too happy after they were each factors in sending crowd favorites CT and Cara Maria home.

Several took to the show's Facebook page to express their anger with the outcome.

One wrote, "CT deserve to WIN...CT would've been in the finals, if the elimination round was physical."

One also wrote, "I'm so done looking at Banans and Laurel. Wish they would sit out a season."

Another added, "I already know how it ends up from here...no point in watching without CT"
