    he expects that you know him from the challenge. We talked about basically everything. He started talking about it before I did.

    Sounds like Leroy knows where his bread is buttered...good on him for embracing it and using it to his advantage

    Also great to have a barber in the house to keep them boys lined up.

    Did he say if he was still with Kam?

    yea still with Kam... they moved to Houston together

    didn’t ask him that, but he did mention how production pissed off a few people in the house when he threw CT in and they reversed course to make it a female elimination.

    Interesting. Ashley obviously has some resentment toward production and MTV. Maybe it started with that.

    :laugh: at trying to blame production for his dumbass power move.

    Every game is different. The smarter vets tired to tell them to throw in some rookies and feel out the game for a week or two. They were too stupid to listen.

    I did love seeing Wes grovel and tell them they could use some deep thinkers b/c it clearly wasn't their strong point :laugh:

    I can't imagine TJ and the show decided to make it a female elimination out of nowhere. Maybe it was slated to be a guys elimination instead, but clearly they were going to do alternating eliminations all year.

    If Leroy gets 100k I can only imagine what Bananas, CT, Wes, etc. get. Definitely don’t blame them for continuing to come back

    CT probably gets at least 250K. No wonder he just relaxes around the house and doesn’t seem to give a fuck.

    basically this. I asked if he thinks bananas will play again and he said for sure. I guess they’re on some sort of contract and bananas was already contracted out for another show, but he made it sound like the money was too good for bananas not to return.

    Asked about him not returning and he said they’ll for sure keep calling him, but he’s pretty much over all the partying and drama that goes on in the house. (Pointed out Josh for example and all his antics (crying)).

    Kyle is pretty much Frankenstein at this point. Since his Geordie Shore days he’s had a nose job, multiple hair transplants, a beard transplant, chin/jaw countour and over the top veneers.

    He does have a good sense of humor about it all.

    Probably the best episode for Devin in his Challenge career. I enjoyed him telling Leroy to eat his ass.

    With no Bananas in the game, he has a real shot. He's too obsessed with Bananas to win it when he's playing.

    Wes sure has gotten soft since teaming up
    with bananas. Don’t hate it. The vets who
    get paid a ton to show up have a little less desire to cut people’s throat.


    Cory lucked out with that partner switch

    I know we’ve been over this, but every time someone says “it’s too early to go in...or “not yet”, or dummy Kam saying “look at the bigger picture..” These are the dumbest people around. There are 3 skulls left for men. Leroy most likely won’t ever get an opportunity to earn another one. Fessy too. 3 skulls left for Nelson, Cory, Fessy, CT, Leroy, Nam, etc. Their whole mindset needs to change. It’s never too early to go on, that’s the whole objective, to get a chance to earn one. These guys should literally be jumping to go in.

    It probably won’t happen this season, but in future seasons if the skull format is the same, maybe then we will see people win daily challenges and start thinking, finally, I get my chance to get one.

    There’s 3 skulls left but then they’ll have the opportunity to steal them from those that have them.

    Do we know that? Very well could be, I just don’t remember hearing all the details. Either way, it shouldn’t be more than like 1 opportunity. So if they throw in Devin with a skull, and he wins, does he get two and take one away from everyone else? 10 skulls means 10 episodes plus probably 2 for the finals based on the current episode format. I don’t think you’ll see a season drag on 3+ months. Who knows though.

    I could see a daily challenge competing as individuals with the male and female winner both getting a skull. Love the twist though. So much more entertaining and strategy.

    Josh and Nany will be the team that never attempts to get a skull(Just there collecting their appearance checks) and be whining at the end that they never got a chance at a skull.

    Recent seasons have been 18ish episodes and 3.5-4 months. Plus TJ keeps saying that it qualifies you to run his final, not a guaranteed spot.

    Yeah agree.

    40% of the men's skulls are gone and two blatant physical eliminations and two bigger guys pussed out. Very dumb ppl

    That was my hunch after watching last season and now this one. I’ll never get over Fessy bitching out when it was clear as day a physical challenge.

    I can’t think of the last challenge that’s as pure puzzle (or even semi puzzle). Ashley vs Dee ? Wasn’t really a puzzle, just putting previous challenges in order

    Do they get checks per episode? That would make sense why everyone wants to wait until the end before they compete.

    It really is funny how last season, people wanted to go in super early and there wound up being plenty of skulls, then this season with TJ flat out saying there aren’t enough, nobody wants to go.

    As for the challenges, there are plenty where size/strength aren’t necessarily a big advantage, but yea Fessy was a moron not going for that one. The only elimination more obvious and more suited to him would be hall brawl.

    I'm watching Inferno 2 on Netflix, Jesus this is rough. How far the show has come.

    Challenge: Pairs wheelbarrow to the beach and back.

    Challenge: Plug holes to stop water from coming out.

    Also the production is so fucking bad.

    They won a t-mobile sidekick :roll:
