    Fuck Ashley for trying to make that whole situation about some sexist double standard.
    And Cara is sad and pathetic.

    Was laughing pretty hard watching Hunter jump up countless times trying to hit the key himself? When he could have thrown it over and had Ashley hit it, who was at a much better angle.

    That particular challenge really showed off the dumb dumbs.

    You could fly through it if....

    1.) Grab long stick and ignore cord
    2.) Person in cage looks at board and tries to remember it

    Then try and force people to watch the shitty reunions (two parts no less) to see who actually won. Fuck that, I’ll go find the spoiler

    What sore losers, props to Shane/Nelson for having the balls to make a move

    It’s like these vets think they are untouchable which they shouldn’t be. The odds of a middle of the pack team like Shane/Nelson winning anything with teams like bananas/Tony, Kyle/brad and even Zack/Amanda still there in the end is very low so it makes sense to take out the biggest threats when you have an opportunity.

    These alliances and people so afraid to go home make it unbearable when you’ve got teams picking josea/Devon every week to go into Armageddon

    Bring me back the old days when mike the miz dared people to send him in because he wasn’t afraid

    Agreed, it makes for boring TV but playing safe gives you the best odds overall. Easy to sit on our couches wishing for big moves when we're not playing for 1 mil.

    This game is messy because you have teams with split alliances, plus the possibility of having to face the team you voted in. Zach and Amanda have two completely different groups of allies. Same with Cara Maria and Marie. It’s hard to make the moves when teams are split on loyalty and strategy. Easy to take the neutral pick.

    Apparently production did some fuckery while editing. Made it look like Jozea and Davonne got 2nd when Joss did.

    Lol at Zack

    Idc how close you are, you gotta be on the same page in the beginning that if it comes between you and a million bucks he’s throwing tony’s ass in

    Although Amanda is also an idiot but I understand her reaching her breaking point since Zack has been running the show all season

    Zack wasn’t winning a final with Amanda anyway.

    Also, they should have each been able to not vote 1 team. If it was a decision between the two teams you have chosen to save, flip a coin. But Zack having 1 team team and Amanda having 4 is bullshit.

    They been a top 3 team this season behind Tony and Brad's team. If Zach got out his only competition the next best is Nelson and Shane.

    As a team, I would take almost any other team (except Cara/Marie) over Zack and Amanda, just because of how worthless Amanda appears. And Zack has been known to turtle, although he’s done much better of late. Maybe I am underestimating Amanda, but like she kept saying, she’s a non-athletic 110 lb girl. That will only take you so far.

    I know bananas and Tony are public enemy #1, but they have the strongest team by far.

    I think all teams minus Tony/bananas have 1 person in the group that’s a major negative to that teams chances

    So far they were killing it as a team though which was surprising because I think Amanda sucks too

    If I had to predict...if they don’t win this next challenge and the whole house votes then in theyll have to go against whoever pulls the double cross from the redemption house

    Which if the preview at the half way point is correct...

    Paulie and Natalie somehow make it back into the main house, which would be a huge upset

    I think Zach and Amanda were equally stupid in that situation. Don't really see much of a difference between the two. I'm impressed that their spite for each other caused this whole thing to come crashing down though.

    They shouldve expected if they couldn't have come to a decision they were gonna go in. Zach still sucks at eliminations. Amanda has one challenge where all she had to do was remember shit now all of a sudden she thinks she's awesome .

    Only thing I see is number of teams saved. They couldn’t vote for Nelson/Shane, Joss/Slyvia, Hunter/Ashley and whoever else because Amanda wouldn’t. Zack only wasn’t going to vote for Bananas and Tony. When it was a tie, Zack should have just said we each can save 1 team, and if Amanda still chose to not vote for Hunter/Ashley, then she knew they were going in. But if that wasn’t her team she was choosing to save from the jump, then she shouldn’t have been able to not vote for them. That’s asking for a girl to use a lot of logic though. Either way, Zack got stubborn too and it blew up on them.

    In Zach’s defense he is as loyal to Tony as some people are to their own mothers, all because Tony made the bone headed decision to save Zack and sent him into the final with him

    So his loyalty is to Tony not bananas. The thing I wondered was if johney and da’vonne were going to help bananas out why they didn’t have bananas make sure Zack doesn’t say their names anymore since bananas is in an alliance with Zack and Zack throws them
    In every time....interesting that they’d go with helping bananas’ alliance

    I think Jozea and Da'Vonne's decision was less about being pro-Bananas and more about being anti-Lavender Ladies (specifically Shane and the Amanda/Zach duo). Agree with you on Zach being loyal to Tony. I don't think he'd stick his neck out like that for Bananas, though maybe he hates Amanda that much.

    I get it. I would not have that level of loyalty to Tony, he has shown recently he will back stab when he has to.

    But the net effect is what was in Johnnys best interest. Tony is his puppet, not a coequal. Johnny just reigns him in as he cycles off roids.

    Tony tried to take out Zach last season but could not get the votes. I personally think Zach could not let Amanda run things and instead decided to go in before letting Amanda shot call.

    I definitely think it was more out of spite and hatred for one another than any loyalty to anybody, at least I hope it was because otherwise, that was idiotic.

    Zach is my least favorite vet. For someone who gassed out on a final. For someone who lost to cara in an individual final. For someone whose elimination record is paltry and found a way to skate to a final without going into one last year. He talks a lot of crap and throws wild shade to everybody but especially to women not named Cara or Jenna. Dislike him, happy he’s (probably) gone.

    Oh and the teams that got saved can miss me with that “I regret not saving them” confessionals BS. FOH.

    It was most certainly out of his loyalty to Tony, he refused to say his name and was willing to go to the challenge over saying his name

    And just my opinion but I think he would have won that final vs Cara Maria had the final part not been that puzzle, he’s a moron and can never do any puzzles

    He was definitely the best player on that season. He definitely improved his endurance after embarrassing himself on Free Agents, though losing a sledgehammer wielding contest to someone with one hand is something he'll never live down.

    To be fair, I have met Zack a few times at Michigan tailgates, so I am a bit partial, but he’s gotten a lot better. The CrossFit gym (I know, I know) I go to has some guys that compete all over the state. They went to a competition on the east side and Zack and his partner got 1st out of like 25 teams. The guys at my gym are legit and got 15th or so.

    I know he stunk early in his career, but his fitness and stuff has improved a lot over the last few years.

    Rooting hard for Bananas/Tony out of the teams left in the main house. The lavender ladies are all horrible and that young buck alliance is way too cocky without having a reason to be, especially Hunter.

    Can you imagine having to hang out with Hunter, Nelson, Shane, Joss, Cory, etc? The guys left outside of Bananas and Tony just suck.

    Also, my wife and I can’t ever figure out if Nelson is has all his faculties. He talks like a 3rd grader.

    Nothing on the show is more annoying than girls talking shit, then failing to do even the simplest thing in a physical challenge, then continuing to talk shit anyways. Zack knocked off 8 flags and Amanda couldn’t get one, then she continued to talk shit about Zack making all the decisions.

    if Bananas and Tony get eliminated next, the remainder of this season will be pretty much unwatchable.

    It's about time the shitty players finally realized that they would be better off working together but instead of smartly playing the game they instantly became cocky despite still never winning anything.

    *Interesting that Sylvia didn't get any shit for head butting Marie. It was weak, but I'm surprised they paid that no mind.

    *Lol @ Nelson saying he deserved more respect than being thrown in by Cara.

    *Pretty wild Bananas and Tony won the wall thing event. Completely saves their asses. Clutch performance.
