Not sure I totally agree. Kam is slow. CT/Kam doing any puzzles would be relatively equal. I don't see any combination of Kam Corey/Leroy really being that much better than the teams they are on right now.
The fatal mistake Kam/Leroy made was not teaming up for the final. Its been all about Leroy making and winning a final. Then the time comes and he picks the worst female remaining.
He had two picked and picked the wrong one. I think the idea of them splitting up to give them two chances to win was a good idea, but they didn't execute it well toward the end. Not sure if it was possible, but they shouldn't have thrown in Fessy and compiled house votes against it to keep their partners.
I get splitting up but this wasn't a random draw/lottery, skill plays a bigger role than having multiple entries. They messed up when they didn't throw Corey in and Leroy got stuck with Nany. Watching it, Amber seemed like the better choice because she can run but I understand Leroy not picking a rookie in the moment. Fessy's grown on me but in a he's such a bitch it's fun to watch him fail kind of way.
I did not post about any of that. All I said was that CT/Amber would be receiving the penalty if shoes were on other foot.
CT/Amber are really good partners. You just know Fessy already has the excuses about the terrain ready. “If we were running on a track I would wax everyone”
I’m also wondering if there is more to TJ saying after checkpoint 1 that the winner gets a “huge advantage” it couldn’t be the ability to change partners, that seems like a waste Fessy/Kaycee are done. There will definitely be more running and she may be able to walk to the checkpoint but the rest of the teams will be running so they either are eliminated night 1 or if somehow they make it they are a lock for 3rd place I want CT/Amber to win so bad. Leeroy being protected all game by kam and big brother only to be partnered with Nany for the final just sealed his fate kam going after people but taking it so personally if anyone came after her just was annoying, and I haven’t even gotten into the “killa kam” stuff
And yes I also would be extremely disappointed if TJ doesn’t lay into fessy next episode if he does it when people quit in daily challenges I’d be shocked if he didn’t say anything when people quit a final Hell maybe he does and that’s what gets fessy to find his nuts and start eating. either way the fessy topic is going to much anticipated for the reunion
Didn’t think it could get worse, looks like I was wrong. Bummed there will be no in person reunion to see the cast and crowd shame him. Fuck MTV for making us watch this stupid show. This poor guy with Ashley.
Amber is so much better than these two girls in a final like this And as I see this they miss the sign hahaha
Amber got shit on all season and made all these dudes look dumb. Give her a partner for puzzles and math and she's a stud in a final.
Great final. Glad Cory called out Fessy for being a supreme bitch (and happy that it wasn’t an editing trick and him and Kayce were really that far behind). Happy for CT just beasting on those puzzles. They were all right though, doesnt matter how old or fat CT is...he’s going to do well in finals. Damn, Leroy seems like such a likable dude.
I don't regret questioning Amber all season considering her wins in elim were Big T and Amber M.... But she killed it for real.
Good interview with CT & Amber B here: https://ew.com/tv/the-challenge-double-agents-finale-spoilers-winners-ct-amber-b/
that was a good final Amber was impressive as shit. Had no clue she was a gritty runner like that and did not complain at all about the food or sleep tasks. Fessy looks like he is about to provide a Seminar on Lack of Self Awareness at the reunion next week.
It's the new LeBron/MJ IMO.... Sort of joking, but not really.....CT pitched a fucking perfect game in a legit Final...that's an amazing feather for his cap.
I’m too lazy to go back through each of CT’s seasons but he’d likely have another few titles if not for getting booted and tough beats. The first few tough beats that immediately come to mind: The DQ he had against Brad in the log pushing elimination where won but his carabiner broke. Was literally right before the final, which Wes then won. Big Easy nearly dying in the final which DQ’d his team. His team actually finished first IIRC. In Rivals when Adam tripped/choked/threw the elimination against Johnny and Tyler right before the final which Johnny and Tyler then won.
CT late career run is getting to Lebron/Brady levels. There’s nobody in the game that’s as well rounded as him.
As long as fessy keeps being so perfectly hateable he's gonna be around a long time. The lack of self-awareness makes that kid a great villian.
Going back and looking at CT's first 6 seasons is kinda funny in how unlucky, and how truly insane he used to be. Inferno - Leading until the crossword puzzle right at the finish line. Inferno II - Boys were having to carry Tonya and Tina on their backs/shoulders for the majority of that final. Duel - Dominated Brad in the final elimination, only to get DQ'd for breaking a carabiner. Inferno III - The day Davis got KO'd. Gauntlet III - The day Big Easy died. Duel II - The day Adam almost died.
Not to mention how he got back in shape. Not saying he’s in great shape currently but he went from major dad bod a couple seasons ago to pretty damn good shape for his late 30s.
He was the first male eliminated last season(I think) and looked overweight as hell. Then he came back this season looking like a fucking statue comparatively. Fun season.
Boys Don’t Cry was great too. The producers must not like him because one song would have been enough. They went out of their way to gut him.
Good stuff. CT thinks they had over an hour lead at points and the only time they saw anyone during competition was leaving the kayak to solve the puzzle as Kam and Cory were entering the water. Also mentions Amber has run a marathon before. People understandably slept on her, but learning more about her endurance and seeing her perform, she was nails. That was an absolute clinic.
TJ is just a great host. He seems to truly care about the game and the contestants. Apparently he runs some of the finals and does challenges prior to the contestants to make sure they aren't impossible. https://heavy.com/entertainment/mtv-the-challenge/tj-lavin-finals-burns/
If Fessy is that much of a picky eater, he might just want to get an actual job because he’s not winning a final.
They were absolutely a better team than leroy/nany. I am not sure about better than kam or cory. Amber/CT had an alltime performance in a final
