    Leroy, while hilarious, is pretty average at these challenges

    Bananas protects him

    Funny how the two ring leaders of that were Kailah who cried all the time on her first challenge because she felt ganged up on. And Jemmye who got really upset last season because Jordan said she had down syndrome face during a battle rap. I hope somebody throws a ketchup bomb on Jemmye at the reunion.

    Won once, got second with Bananas in Rivals 2. He's a good competitor, but that particular challenge against roided-up Brad wasn't going to work.

    Nelson was impressive. He's improved as a competitor since he first started, even though he's still a dumbass and can't kick a soccer ball. Laurel vs. Kam would've been fun.

    Also last night made me realize that it looks as if the GOAT Darrell is done as an elite competitor

    Last year losing to Tony, which was very close, and now tying with Nelson....

    He could still play and be one of the better ones but he is no longer on the elite level as he once was

    The Tony thing was complete luck. He threw Tony off the thing -- just happened to have his toe strike the water a split-second earlier. Don't think you can read too much into that.

    Very true, but while tony is improved an elimination between elite level darrell and tony shouldnt be close

    or with nelson

    Nelson is good at eliminations. I think he is 8-2 or something.

    You’re grading way too hard. Nelson has brute strength and is roughly the same size as Darrell, so a competiton that’s completely weight-based is a wash, especially when there are props that you can grab on to. As far as the Tony elimination, they were above water on a moving platform. On solid ground with no evening-out factors Darrell rolls.

    Both competitions had an element of chance or something to even the field. Plus Darrell’s strength is his motor, endurance and stamina. He was never dominant strength wise like a CT.

    Him and Leroy are similar in that they’re typically terrible at daily challenges (though Nelson killed the car leaping challenge) but hard as fuck to eliminate one-on-one.

    I'm not so sure anymore. IMO one of the things that made darrell so good was not only was his good physically but he was smart so he was always a good strategically. Nelson on the other hand is all physical and not an ounce of intelligence in his brain. I would have figured Darrell would have came with a good strategy in that elimination last night to his advantage

    IMO darrell is on the same strength level as Bananas

    I think Darrell's strategy right there was to wait Nelson out. The format of that course made that hard though. Would like to have seen that elimination done in sand or something where differences in strategy could come more into play. Hard to implement strategy when your opponent is clutching to the side of the platform like that.

    As for the Darrell/Bananas comp, Darrell beat Zach in pole wrestle in Invasion. He's stronger than Bananas. Bananas' strength is avoiding eliminations in the first place through politics and setting up the game to get rid of threats. Bananas is also pretty good at daily challenges, so he's rarely on the cut line, and has the endurance to perform very well at finals, hence the six titles. But Bananas is actually pretty vulnerable in eliminations -- pretty sure he's below .500 lifetime.

    Is Darrell what he was? No, but neither are any of the top-tier historic male performers. CT went from being a complete physical brute to being one of the best puzzle people in the game as a way to adjust to that.

    I'd say those two are pretty even strength wise. Zach is the definition of looks like tarzan and plays like jane

    I think Zach is stronger but has no endurance and no strategic chops whatsoever. He's a combine warrior to use NFL parlance.

    If I recall correctly he has the most elimination losses based on those trivia questions that Cara does in between breaks.

    Zach has seemed to get better over the last few challenges. 2 or 3 cast members has said he looks way better than he used to. He killed the Pallet part of the last challenge.

    1. Yep, Bananas has the most elimination losses.
    2. Zach has been good this season. He also was one of the top males on the first challenge (the run up the Rock of Gibraltar). In previous seasons he would have died on that. But as a whole he's definitely been wasted talent. Being outsledgehammered by a one-handed guy half his size has to be one of the most humiliating losses ever.

    I thought it was pretty cool to see Frank come back. Guy only did 2 challenges and came in 1st and 2nd in them. Plus was a complete train wreck on the drama side of things. He definitely looked smaller and off the roids from when he was last on the show.

    Did anyone see the preview for next week on the after show? It's a swimming challenge and take a guess who they pair up all on the same team

    Challenge was great tonight. Leroy knew he was going in from the very beginning....which is why he was so pissy with the troika. Between Cara fucking Kyle...and Leroy/Brad being tougher for Tony....it was coming. I think that's about as mad as Leroy can get. I'm glad he took out Brad and was able to still proceed to the final. Tony was so full of shit too about how it doesn't affect him at all....that was a monster real nervous shit eating grin that he had on his face when Leroy won.

    Kind of thought Leroy was being a bit of a crybaby there. I like the guy, but before that elimination he really had done nothing all season. He should have known he was going to be the guy because there's no way Kyle would take out Brad in a physical elimination.

    Idk why he didn't just own up and say that he was saving Kyle because Kyle is the weakest. What would have happened if he voted for Brad?

    Really dumb for Tony not to fight to get Zach in there, he loses that elimation and Tony is the runaway favorite

    But after all those troikas where they shut the girls opinions out it was karma for him

    It was smart to save Kyle though, he’ll be a disaster in the final

    I was team Tony before, but fuck this cocky Tony douche

    TEAM LEROY

    (I know there’s no way he can win since he has the IQ of a jellyfish)
