    It was a pretty smart move but like you mention, it doesn't make sense to make such a massive play to just get the two rookie teams in there. She probably also just put more people willing to go against her since no one thinks they can trust her now

    How can Derrick have that much potential and yet suck that bad at all challenges, even the purely physical ones?

    Anybody else feel like Shane would’ve been knocked out by somebody already if not for the fact that he’s gay? Dude gets away with whatever he wants and nobody wants to say anything

    Shane used to be one of the nicer people on the show. I think he’s just doing all this stuff to be a villain in order to get invited back.

    He’s just been annoying as shit. No shot at winning so just tries to create fake drama at every turn. It seems way too fake and makes him come off as just an asshole as opposed to a smart player

    It would have taken so much restraint for me not tackle Shane if I was on his team. Just a full out blindside tackle.

    Wife said the same thing

    Just bc you're gay, you can't call women bitches.

    I doubt kicked off, but probably scolded with a big target kinda like that one dude dropping the R word on Jemme

    My thoughts exactly. He’s not a snarky queen or whatever he’s striving for. He’s just a petty asshole. Being gay doesn’t morph that into anything else.

    Making people wait around in the redemption house, only to have their fate come down to a random chance double-cross pull seems dumb and lazy.

    A royal rumble style elimination would be fantastic. Something they all play at once and only 1 team makes it out

    Agreed. Having chance play any factor in a team making it back from the Redemption House is absolutely unnecessary. You can’t tell me building a challenge which involves all the teams competing to earn the spot costs THAT much more money to put together. Just an unnecessary tie in for the “trilogy” aspect

    Enjoyed the preview of what's to come. Based on Cara's tweets tonight, it seems like she lost the eating and is headed to the redemption house.

    Had to laugh at all the girls talking shit about cara Maria sucking in that challenge then they all did worse

    I can’t beleive how much of an advantage it is to have 2 guys. Bananas and Tony is unfair, as well as Kyle and Brad. Zack stuck with Amanda? Joss with Sylvia? Stupid.

    Rule of thumb in drunken shouting matches: First person who yells "Nobody likes you" and is obviously being drunken serious with that comment automatically loses.

    This season has a lot of positives but the amount they are dragging it out is really killing the show. We are barely getting a full challenge or elimination each episode. There is no reason they should be dedicating 10min of a 40min episode to Natalie/Kaleighs argument in the redemption house.

    This has been said before but they are butchering the redemption house. It seems rudimentary that once they get 4 teams in there they all perform a challenge and the winner goes back to the house. Maybe then the 3 losers get to pull the “double cross” and can stay 1 more round back in the redemption house and wait for 3 more teams and do it again. Having CT there a week just to have them draw things out of a hat and don’t get to compete is just stupid.

    The way they're filming and editing the show would make a lot more sense if they were streaming on Netflix, not doing a once-a-week cable show.

    This has been a problem the last 2 or 3 seasons. Trying to have cliffhangers and make the finale a 2 or 3 episodes long is annoying.

    They need to just make the eps 2 hours long (similar to what Masterchef does, combine 2 eps and release at once) and release them that way.

    Yeah, the redemption twist is stupid. Paulie and Natalie have lost three eliminations and are still in the game. What they should have done is allow the nonchosen teams to stay in redemption with the possibility that they might spend the rest of the game there. But letting some teams have third and fourth chances is dumb.

    The lavender ladies have a lot of votes but good luck to any of those teams winning a challenge

    Amanda/Zack will win but with Zack being on bananas alliance and Amanda just voting however he wants that really cancels her out of that alliance

    Probably the best episode of the season tonight. Props to Nelson and Shane for making the big move and taking care of business. It's amazing to me just how stupid Kyle is. Also, Tony not thinking to look at the words in the cage is incredibly dumb as well.
