  1. I love how Annessa believes she somehow created The Challenge so everyone, especially POC and women, owe her something. The were were black women on every season before she got there, she didn't blaze a trail for anyone. Heather B. from the original season of RW was on the second Challenge season, how much more OG can you get. She's the female Big, Easy and somehow just can't see it. I would love to see CT crush feckless Fessy in an elimination.
  2. It's going to be hilarious when TJ tells them the final is individual, and all the machinations to get the right partner don't end up meaning anything. He keeps saying "Nothing is as it seems", to me that screams your partner never mattered in the end. It would make for a more interesting final. As it stands now, if they do run as teams, Leroy and Kam get half the first place money and half the second place money. Just an issue of bragging rights. My biggest concern with Leroy/KC was mental, but then they solved the math puzzle. Solved it wrong, but still solved it the way the show wanted.
  3. I had forgotten about that, makes sense then.
  4. Fessy in his tie and vest outfit gets me every damn time. He's a meathead destined to flame out in every final he ever makes. 1) No endurance 2) Not good at puzzles. That's a deadly combination that can't be overcome. He cratered in last season's final even though the second day was drastically shortened due to the weather. The challenges and eliminations haven't been the best this year. Hall Brawl bores me because Tori over Jenny is the only upset I can remember ever happening. So if you're the underdog your choice is lose or lose and get hurt. And a challenge that only one team completes isn't the most exciting thing to watch... All that being said I'm still the only thing I look forward to watching each week. Why was Devin protecting Lolo and Nam? I don't watch BB so I've only seen him of the The Challenge seasons, is Josh playing a character? Or is this really all him?
  5. Speaking of which...I wish Bear on this season just to watch him set Lolo as a goal.
  6. And now there go to the authorities, five years later...
  7. He's an odd one. His origin season he just kept saying "I'm a gross person", "I basically just a gross person" all episode long. It got really old... This season his only contributions were finding honey 38-39 days in, and growing the most Rasputin-esk beard.
  8. I completely agree, but I thought she caught a fish or two at Murder Pond so I have to include her as doing SOMETHING. She at least tried, but her crossbow was un-aimable and sucked up lots of time and energy that could have been spent fkn hunting instead.
  9. Earlier in the season horseface/psycho/Kate complained the she couldn't sleep because Bulent's snoring was so loud. He appeared to be all of about 25 yards away from them at the large camp. But two days in a row they somehow spent hours thinking he was down at the lower blind. The blind that was so hard to get to Gwen was exhausted when she got there. But it was too much effort to go over and check if he was there hours earlier. BS Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember Sara, Bulent, Ryan, Wes, Makani, and even Seth catching something to eat. Gwen went 40 days without getting ANY food of any kind. Unless you want to count the plant that almost tapped them out. I can't remember of it was Wes of her that found that. Suzanne didn't ever even attempt to get anything.
  10. There seems to be too much reliance on "somebody else will catch the food" in the group. Back when they were at Murder Pond it seemed like everyone was pitching in. Now you have Suzanne just wanting to be the administrator. Has she made any attempt to get food ever? Also, it's 120 degrees during the day and humidity level of zero. How in the hell did they manage to grow mold on the jerky? I really feel like this season is the "C" team. Team Murder Pond looked good at the beginning but that was a long time ago. Even Wes and Gwen were struggling 90% of the time.
  11. No Rogan, Jordan, Bear or Asaf on the guys side. How many forgot Asaf was on the show? Fessy was on for about 2 seconds, maybe they use him more next week. No Dee, Jen, or Mattie on the girls side.
  12. I'll say it again for those who didn't watch the RW Portland. Nia flat out assaults Averey with a hair dryer hitting her repeatedly in the head. Averey and Johnny Reilly moved into a hotel for the rest of the season because they didn't feel safe in the RW house and production wouldn't do anything to Nia. Anyone focusing on Jordan's behaviour in Portland either hasn't seen the season, is a racist, or is an idiot. While I understand anyone who thinks Jordan's a dick, this is some cherry-picked narrative BS.
  13. I wondered about that as well. Bananas is not Nelson and knows what he needs to do. So I think he just kept looking behind at Cory/Kyle and didn't care at all that Jenny was going to beat him. Speaking of which, have you heard that Bananas was more than friendly with Jenny according to so of the other contestants? Considering how locked down he was during the Gretchen years I find it hard to believe he's messing around on Morgan. More likely the Cara and Paulie's of the world are just trying to take shots at him. I had a lot of Bananas hating years, but he's grown up and become a more humble decent person.
  14. Either quit or STFU. Quit whining about it. Cory was right, as soon as she found out about staying outside she bailed. If she had been sent into elimination I think she would have bailed before competing.
  15. No, no she couldn't. Jenny beat EVERYONE. Kaycee was impressive this season, but nobody was beating Jenny. Seems all the more ridiculous that she was handed Jen as her elimination opponent. Fessy played out exactly as I expected. Lots of muscle just doesn't translate to long, endurance based finals. While six hours in the cold didn't help, he fell apart late in day one before that happened. Kyle getting second among the guys for the season feels like NC State in 1983. Run the season 20 more times he doesn't get close. Let's all take a minute to imagine what Josh would have looked like in the final. I think he is behind pregnant Melissa at the end of day one.
  16. Yeah, but Rogan still has that epic flameout 5 minutes into his debut. He's grown on me, but until he does something impressive that involves endurance I have my doubts. I don't expect Bananas to win, but I could see it happening if it takes hours of trekking through the snow. He's down that, he won't give up. That being said, Cory's the only one I'm pretty confident he'll beat.
  17. I loved how they had ad during last night's Challenge episode touting a Ridiculousness Marathon this weekend. WTF have they been doing for the past 3-5 years other than that?
  18. I feel like there's no way Bananas should win this season. But then I realize Cory gets winded after 100 meters, Kyle is Kyle and that only leaves Fessy. I then remember two of Bananas wins came when in seasons where CT and Zach both it won and their bodies completely gave out on them toward the very end. Both times Bananas was well back and saddled with an inferior partner (Nany vs Laurel) but didn't give up and benefited from better athletes wearing themselves out.
  19. I watched it last season but I still have to ask...How the hell did Jenny lose in Hall Brawl to Tori? How was that possible? There's been some big upsets in eliminations (Jordon over Josh in rope pull, Jordon over Zach is PileDriver, Shane over Tony in push the tuk-tuk) but those were all smarter players taking on idiots. Was Tori/Jordan that much smarter than Jenny in Brawl Hall? I feel like Bananas kept his word to Kaycee so he can use Fessy and Kaycee in later seasons as allies. As Wes has pointed out Bananas hasn't done a very good job making partners out of recent players, maybe he's trying to fix that.
  20. I'm with AUS-97HORN. Bayleigh has gone out of her way to ruin the lives of two different WOC in the past few weeks. (Yeah, taped last fall I know, but new to the world now.) Yet somehow she gets a complete pass. It's reminiscent of when Nia criminally assaulted Averey in Portland and nothing happened to her at all. If I never see either member of Baggy again I'll be a happy person.
  21. I get that Melissa had MMA training which certainly didn't hurt here in the elimination. But is there anyone from the whole season (other than Jen) that you would have bet Nany could beat? At best she stays out of the way of her partners, but I can't remember ever being impressed by her. utxmike05, if I'm forgetting something please help me out but I wasn't at all surprised pregnant Melissa beat her. Bayleigh is Kam while having done even less. You can get upset and yell, great. Camilla did it earlier and better and I'm happy she's gone too. Bananas really does deserve a producer credit at this point. His work to make sure Bayleigh went off was textbook, and there was no benefit to his game, he just wanted to give production good footage. Which worked out well since Dee's removal has been astonishing in its thoroughness. I was actually surprised to see her vote in the deliberations.
  22. Managed a 3 screen theater while going to school at one point. Every once in a while we would get people who sat through a 2 hour movie, then came out after it was over and asked for a refund because they didn't enjoy it. They did not get their money back. This happened a several times with Ironweed as i recall...
  23. Yeah, I have the exact same impression. She was considered the "Jenny" of her rookie season, and carried Kyle through most of that season as her partner. This time around, there just wasn't much to be impressed by even though she seems to be in better shape now.
  24. Wes and Johanna, Tori and Jordan as engaged, but I can't remember any others married.
