Battle Camp finale recap: Finalists compete for the $250,000 cash prize

Netflix's latest competitive reality show, Battle Camp, featuring 18 reality TV stars, premiered on April 23, 2025. A game of strength, endurance, and strategy, the players had to complete challenging tasks, survive punishments, and evade elimination to claim the title of winner. After a lengthy competition, episode 10, the finale, showcased six contestants entering the final stage of the show, each hoping to win $250,000.

In episode 10, the final six competed against one another to secure their names on the Wheel. To achieve this, they needed to outperform their competitors in the punishments and win the challenges held at the Wall. Chase and Georgia stood out as the top scorers in each task, followed by Lorenzo and Shubham.

Ultimately, Lorenzo was crowned the winner of Battle Camp after the final Wheel spin landed on his name, earning him the $250,000 cash prize.

The official synopsis of the Battle Camp finale, titled The Final Spin, reads:

"The finalists have proven they're unbeatable and unbreakable, but who's unhateable? After a grueling gauntlet of challenges, a lucky winner is crowned."

What happened in the finale of Battle Camp?

The episode continued with the elimination ceremony from episode 9, where Trey became the second contestant to be eliminated from the race to the finish line. The Battle Camp evictee became emotional after being asked to leave the competition. Nevertheless, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity and said goodbye to his co-stars.

"I'm feeling like happy, sad, proud. A mixture of three. FOMO. I'm gonna feel some FOMO. I'm just like so proud of how I played. This has been the greatest pleasure of my life," Trey said.

Meanwhile, the remaining campers—Chase, Shubham, QT, Lorenzo, Polly, and Georgia—advanced to the final stage of the competition, which was labeled the "final six." Host Taylor Lewan informed the finalists that they needed to try to get their names on the Wheel for the finale instead of fighting to get their names off.

The next morning, an announcement informed the Battle Camp cast members that they would face two punishments. The top three in each punishment would have their names added to the Wheel. The first punishment was Submerge, in which the players had to endure an ice bath. However, to get their names on the Wheel, they had to submerge their heads longer than their competitors. The three players with the longest durations would add their names to the Wheel.

Shubham was the first to give up, followed by QT. The four remaining players continued the challenge; however, their times were not disclosed. Shortly after their first punishment, the Battle Camp contestants were called for their second, Full Throttle. In this challenge, they had to record as many steps as possible on their pedometers.

Later in the day, host Taylor joined the campers and revealed the results of the punishments. Georgia, Chase, and Lorenzo emerged as the winners of the ice-plunge challenge. Chase and Georgia secured another victory in the pedometer challenge, with Shubham joining them as the third winner.

The following morning, the contestants arrived at the Wall to face their final two "sky-high challenges." The first task was Endurance Hang, where they had to hang onto small poles without falling. The two participants who managed to hang on the longest across two rounds would have their names added to the Wheel.

Polly chose not to participate in the challenge due to her injured wrist. Meanwhile, the others prepared for the task. QT was the first to fall, followed by Shubham and Chase, making Lorenzo and Georgia the two winners.

For the second challenge, three planks were arranged at the top of the Wall: two labeled 'safe' and one labeled 'drop.' To win the game, the Battle Camp stars had to make sure they were not standing on the plank that said 'drop.'

"The first player to walk out sees which planks are safe and which one is drop. The next players then each have the opportunity to grill their campmates to ask which plank is safe before deciding where to walk. Subsequent players can choose an empty plank or move an anchored player to a vacant plank and take their spot," Taylor explained.

The first group randomly selected for the task was Shubham, Polly, and Lorenzo. Shubham decided to go first and stepped onto the 'drop' plank. Lorenzo, unable to trust Shubham, asked him to move to the middle plank and took his spot. When Polly asked Lorenzo if he was on the safe plank, he directed her to a different one, claiming he would drop—and he did.

With that, Polly and Shubham each earned a spot on the Wheel. In the second round, QT volunteered to go first and stepped onto a 'safe' plank. She then lied about being on the 'safe' plank but guided Georgia to get on the other 'safe' plank. Unable to trust QT, Georgia took QT's place and unknowingly sent her to the 'safe' plank.

As the last player, Chase put Georgia in a predicament by convincing her to reveal the location of the 'drop' plank. As a result, he switched places with her and handed her the 'drop' plank. However, Georgia refused to make the drop, which made QT and Chase the winners of the challenge.

Later in the Battle Camp episode, the players voted for the participant they believed deserved to win the show. Shortly thereafter, they joined Taylor at the Wheel ceremony, where the vote results were announced. Chase, Shubham, Georgia, QT, Lorenzo, and Polly each received one vote, earning them a spot on the Wheel.

Although Chase and Georgia's names occupied most of the spots on the Wheel, the final spin declared Lorenzo the winner.
