The Challenge: Ride or Dies aired its premiere episode on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at 8 pm ET on MTV. The episode featured contestant pairs - veterans as well as newcomers - putting their best foot forward as each other's "ride or dies" to win the prize money and take home the title. The cast includes exes, best friends, siblings, spouses, and many more relationships, making the format interesting.

On tonight's episode of the show, newcomers Johnny Middlebrooks and Ravyn Rochelle won the daily challenge, giving them the power to choose a pair for elimination. Kim Tranka and Colleen Schneider, and Jack Maddox and Laurel Tucky were two of the four pairs selected for deliberation.

While most pairs talked about aligning with the winning pair, Jakk chose to reveal Colleen's identity. The latter was originally on the German reality show, The Mole. However, she lied about being on Love Island.

Fans were all in on Jakk's power move. One tweeted:

In the premiere episode of The Challenge: Ride or Dies, the contestant pairs were introduced to each other. While veterans weren't new to the game, it was a chance for the newbies to showcase their skills in the competition. Newcomers Johnny Middlebrooks and Ravyn Rochelle did exactly that. The duo won the first daily challenge in the competition, giving them some major power.

The winning pair had to nominate four pairs for deliberation, out of which one would be picked to go into elimination. The pairs nominated were Sam and Kailah Bird, Kim Tranka and Colleen, Jakk Maddox and Laurel Stucky, and Tory Deal and Devin Walker.

While most pairs talked games and the possibility of an alliance with Ravyn and Johnny, it was Jakk Maddox, who decided to play the game a little differently. He went ahead and exposed Colleen's identity.

Colleen had previously revealed on The Challenge: Ride or Dies that she had lied about being on Love Island. In her previous reality TV stint, she played the role of a mole on the eponymous German show, and succeeded. She thought that it would be in her best interest to lie.

However, Jakk studied the contestant pairs ahead of his appearance in the competition. He knew that Colleen was lying about her identity and took that information to the deliberation room and revealed the news to Ravyn and Johhny.

While in the deliberation room, Jakk said:

"So Colleen and Kim everything they've told you is not true. I don't know id you want to align yourself with somebody who has completely fabricated their story since the moment they dropped foot in this house. It's public information, she said she was on Love Island and she has a lot of answers about it...but she was never on Love Island."

He also revealed Colleen being on The Mole.
