    Has Bananas had recent plastic surgery? He looks strange in his confessional. Either plastic surgery or way overdone eyebrows.

    Some catching up here....but that elimination with everyone doing the puzzle fucking screwing over Turbo was dumb. He's a lunatic, but I hate it when the house essentially wins it for one person

    Was plainly obvious 5 minutes into this episode that one of Laurel/Jakk and Jay/Michele was going to win and throw the other in. Jay and Michele are idiots

    Thank you Jordan (never Aneesa) for sending down Jay and Michelle to get bounced. One of the more deserving losers that I can remember. Jay whining like a bitch that he couldn't hear when it was over was funny.

    Horatio is a damn monster and the vets even seem to all like him too.

    That Amber/Michele "squabble" was fucking stupid. They definitely ran out of content for that episode to devote at least five minutes to that. Should have given us more Bananas birthday celebration.

    Nelson picking Faysal over his gal was cringey. Faysal sucks so hard.

    Looks like Jordan sleeps with Nurys on the preview for next week. That dude is en fuego this season.

    Athletically, Jay is solid, but dude sucks at the political and emotional part of the game.

    and Nelson will just forever be a dummy in all situations. Guy is incapable of making the normal decision

    I enjoyed jay on survivor and the first challenge season. Now he sucks. Michelle has always sucked. Amber may be the most dull/fake person on the show but she's getting air time which shows you how dull the rest of the competitors are this season.

    It's sucks that Kaycee and her terribly boring Big Brother game play has creeped over to the other vets. I blame Nany for being the catalyst in combining alliances.

    Glad to see Jay and Michele leave. They got played played hard by vets, not realizing they were winning dailies because everyone else was trying not to. It gave Jay a false sense of confidence that it that much better when Jordan completely emasculated him a few episodes back.

    yeah she definitely shacked up with Fessy in one of the episodes.

    Jay and Michele were fine for bringing some drama to the early part of the season which is using pretty boring. But too annoying to want to see around to the end. Also Michele speaks with a weird cadence and everything she does seems so manufactured for the cameras (I know everyone does that but she seemed especially bad. Her and Amber's "fight" was laughably bad) .

    Jay and Michele played the game like it was Survivor with voting blocks that would reset. Jay in particular is terrible, he butchered the season when he was paired with Teresa.

    I’m expecting the twist to be that it will become an individual game.

    And for the love of god, quit inviting Kaycee back. She is pointless.

    Yeah hilarious how little screen time Kaycee gets, I forget she’s in the house.

    I need a bonk everytime Nurys is on screen.

    False. Tori hooked up with Fessy months (weeks?) after her and Jordan were done. He can do whatever he wants with Nurys no matter if he cuddled with Tori or not. She’s silly to think otherwise.

    My thoughts

    I wish they did a better job establishing how some of these newbies are actually "ride or dies" with established cast members.

    Like how did Colleen and Kim know each other? How close of friends were they really? What about Neurys and Nelson? Fessy and Moriah? Same with Turbo's partner. Seems impossible that he could have an actual ride or die. Were all these people really close friends or did they just want to get certain people in the game?

    regardless, I think the pairs went well. I am a bit worried about splitting into teams, as sometimes that makes things too one-sided. Moriah did a terrible job drafting.

    Pretty crazy Nam's teammate just quit :laugh: feel bad for him. he has had terrible partner luck. Not very "ride or die" if you ask me!

    Jay and Michelle were a really good team. but in general, they failed when in power and it cost them.

    I am not a fan of how much helping / yelling there is during eliminations.

    it is amazing how this entire season quickly devolved into people getting in their feelings for being nominated when people were tasked with putting 8 people (4 teams) at risk each week.

    In general, I like Nany. I know she is going thru stuff this season. but she gets so upset whenever she gets nominated or kaycee gets nominated and acts like it is the biggest slight and insult to ever occur.

    Laurel continues to be crazy but she isn't a great competitor anymore.

    The Horacio & Olivia team is really good. Also think Johnny will be back. He was a legit athlete. It got very annoying how hurt Ravyn was acting. their team was good and she just started to act weird.

    I went from very cold to the weird german team to very hot. Big fans.

    One could suggest Nelson is playing a bad game because he didn't take a shot at the big dogs when he had the chance. But I think he has done a good job making people happy and I bet certain people will be inclined to keep him around. Seems like the best friend / good dude on the challenge.

    Nurys is stunningly hot.

    They really need to stop letting people who can't hang physically onto the show (Aneesa / Veronica). Nothing to do with age, more so just no athleticism.

    Before the teams broke up, I thought Nelson and Nurys had the best chance in the final. Bananas has not been very good this year. Devin and Tori aren't the most fit.

    If the finale ends up a solo endeavor, Jordan will win. He is a beast this season.

    Lot's of hooking up this year, which is a good thing IMO. Good for drama with throwing all the people down into the pit.

    The answer to your first question is that some of the pairs aren't "ride or dies" at all.

    agreed. bit annoying not to have the background, or having them fake it. Like this whole last episode I was wondering, "does fessy even give a fuck about this moriah person? We have no understanding of their preexisting show relationship besides a single sentence said during episode 1"

    also, I have been convinced Moriah is like an up and coming WWE diva this whole time. She is absolutely ripped and plastic surgeried up.

    this was really annoying during Michele and Jay's elimination. Not particularly fair for the people who have won the most challenges to be eliminated because people are screaming instruction to the other team. they need to fix that

    Bananas said on his podcast that he didn't want to win any of the daily challenges because he was comfortable with the numbers he had in his favor and didn't want to put a target on his back by having to nominate 4 teams. They should have put in some sort of punishment for last place so this wouldn't happen.
