    my wife is very much in favor of them punishing the last place team again. raises the stakes of it all.


    that also may just be him talking out of his ass for being washed

    Part of the show has always been house politics. When you piss off the entire house it can come back to bite you in an elimination and it did for them.

    for sure. but that was a bit extreme and kinda ruins the climax of each episode, imo. Strategy could be extrapolated to whoever has the most numbers getting what they want in elimination regardless of whether a certain pair has pissed off the house. if they are going to do more puzzle type eliminations, they should tamper down what people can say during an elimination

    Probably the best change they’ve ever made to gameplay.

    Cant remember who it was but someone (one of the cast members)definitely mentioned that teams were blatantly throwing challenges and production wasn't doing a good job (or choosing not to) of showing it

    They need to bring back prizes for the daily challenges. Seems like such an easy sponsorship setup, I don't get why they don't still do it.

    certainly need to fix it, but I imagine they prefer the vote in drama over drama of who wins or loses these competitions.

    Kaycee and Kenny must come from the most boring family in the world. If they ever cast him again, we riot.

    I knew Kenny was getting eliminated the moment they gave him more than 2 seconds of screen time.

    Also god damn at that end twist. Hopefully they don't make you partner up with your ride or die for the final. Imagine Aneesa getting eliminated and then her showing up at the end to run a final with you.

    I think they absolutely will make them run it with their Ride or Die, but your Aneesa thought is hilarious/true. That would be such a kick in the nuts.

    Probably first half or day with your ride or die and then separate out to be men vs men and women vs women

    I don't get the consistent Aneesa and Veronica castings. They can't compete. They don't really get too involved in drama anymore. Are there just legions of Aneesa fans out there who would stop watching if she wasn't on?

    It was laughable how “different” Aneesa looked up there in spandex with all the other girls. She takes pride in being “built for comfort” in a game show that you know will have a killer endurance component as part of the final. She totally sabotages a team if she makes it and listening to her confessionals, she don’t give a flying fuck. Bad casting indeed.

    I was hoping TJ was going to pull a fast one and be like "Kaycee, your ride or die just went home. See ya next time, thanks for playing!"

    Just for how messy voting in people would become knowing you could be sealing your own fate if your ride or die gets eliminated.

    I was hoping TJ was going to look at the ride or die of who was nominated, in this case of Olivia, and say she gets to choose who will compete against him and it could be any male.

    Really annoying that Fessy exclusively gets strength-based eliminations. Make him have to think or eat something.

    Yeah and his height definitely helped him out a ton on that one. Seeing those two duke it out in a puzzle would’ve been entertaining

    He's gotten very lucky in that regard. Feels like in year's past when big athletes or those types get in eliminations it's always something that completely negates that. Fessy has had 4 eliminations and it was 2 hall brawls, pole wrestling (vs Jordan), and this spear one. Very lucky.

    Hilarious first part of the daily...can't believe they had Devin help Fessy. As soon as production cut to Horacio saying that could bite them in the ass, I knew it was going to

    I don't think the yellow team's final combo would've gotten that done with any amount of time.

    Good episode. The rivalry between Jordan and Fessy could be fun in ongoing seasons.

    Moriah seems to have the personality and IQ of a box of hammers. She might not become much of a regular.

    also, what was that with Roxanne? Setting her up for future cohost situation or something?

    How many scripted scenes do we need between Nany and Kaycee. It’s getting unbearable to have to watch.

    Not sure how/why production keeps inviting her back. I assume it’s because they like Nany that much and Kaycee is a package deal.

    Sucks for viewers because Kaycee is going to last the whole season if she’s on. Never gets voted in because people protect her and she’s much stronger than the females of this era so they don’t want her in eliminations.

    Moriah is fine as fuck though so I don't care if she's good.

    Btw, this cast has the most beautiful collection of rookies or just beautiful people in general I have ever seen. The german girl was heat. I don't know why Tori mad at Jordan for hooking up with Nurys. Have you seen Nurys! My momma could be in the bunk next to me and I would still hook up with her with no shame. Horacio is a damn male model, Olivia built like pin-up. Nothing but heat.

    I have Kaycee in a challenge draft for this season so I'm completely fine with her never getting on camera or going into eliminations. This has been a great season and there are a lot of good players still left. I wonder how many more episodes we'll get

    Horacio is damn monster. He whooped Jordan.

    Please let Jordan knock out Kaycee and her brother, so we aren't saddled with their boring asses for any longer.
