    This week was a better episode but the challenge has never really worked when the guys and girls are competing against each other. They should really keep it to same sexes and have 2 winners.

    It's dumb. The entire season these girls are all talking about how they can't beat Zaza in a final (true). But outside of one of the girls they have 0 shot against any of the guys.

    It just doesn’t work, there is no way to level the playing field while keeping it entertaining. Just have 2 winners

    Was rooting for Horacio and Zara more than anyone else. This week sucked. Honestly I feel like everything I’ve wanted to happen this season has not. Need Jay to lose at some point in embarrassing fashion.

    Hate it for Zara, she’s a beast and didn’t deserve to go out like that.

    A Fessy-like final from Jay would absolve all.

    Jay and Michele have been unbelievably annoying this season, but Michele moved above Jay in my book after telling him to shut the fuck up to his face. That made me laugh.

    Yeah Michele is towards the bottom of my list but definitely above Jay... who is dead last. Moriah has also been annoying. I was rooting for James up until he stabbed Zara in the back. He's dead to me now.

    I'm sure I'll forget some people but here is my rankings from rooting the most for to rooting the least for. Some of these people I dont' mind as much, but they continue to enable Jay so fuck 'em. These rankings have swung pretty sharply throughout the season.

    1. Horacio
    2. Nurys
    3. Kyland
    4. Olivia
    5. Colleen
    6. Ed (he's lucky to be this high after capping for Jay in this episode after Jay voted for him last episode)
    7. Emanuel
    8. James
    9. Michele
    10. Berna
    11. Moriah
    12. Corey
    13. Jay

    I loved Olivia last season but she has sucked most of this season. I'm glad she is finally coming to her senses an re-aligning with Horacio and getting away from Jay.

    Yeah, she's chilled out now that the numbers are getting tighter. Expected the opposite after beating Laurel but she's obviously the smarter of the two.

    Guess he won’t have a leg up on the rookies next season! Certainly not kicking anyone’s ass in an elimination.

    Where did all the backstabbing go in this game? Are all these social media influencers too scared to take risky moves? Olivia had the PERFECT opportunity to flip the game with the vote and just bitched out. This season is just so so boring.

    Jay and Michelle being the main stars should tell you how awful this season is. Jesus, let’s get this shit over with so we back to the main game.

    it's crazy that the pretty much three best competitors for the season all left in the same episode. Really looking forward to this alliance getting shit on and eliminated early in a future season.

    I’ve come around on jay/Michelle. They aren’t the problem. It’s the Olivia/Emmanuelle/moriah/James/Corey/colleen/Berna that is the issue. Never invite these players back

    She had the perfect chance to have an iconic Challenge moment.

    Agree to the deal and then pull a doublecross. Would have made for awesome tv and solidified her as a Challenge mainstay

    This season desperately needed someone to knock him down. I’ll give him credit tho he’s got a great shot at winning. Basically him Emmanuelle or nurys are winning

    That’s the three my money is on. Would love if somehow Nurys could pull it off, just depends on what the final looks like. She beasted those last two eliminations.

    Rooting for Nurys, anyone else is a big disappointment for me. Fuck em

    I know he hasn’t seen an elimination, has he won a daily? I know he did pretty well the last season he was on before Horacio eliminated him but yeah it doesn’t seem like he’s done jack shit this season but get protected by Berna and Jay

    Berna is so insufferable. Jay is a bitch but I can at least appreciate Jay stepping into the villain role, Berna brings literally nothing to the table.

    Jay is annoying but is pretty good and can back his shit talking up. Berna, Michelle and a few others are much worse tv.

    give me more Colleen, I love her.

    I cannot stand that there’s only one winner this season. Eliminations are much better when it’s same sex because they can be physical. It’s also a terrible viewing experience watching what is essentially the same elimination week after week with this three person set up.

    Yep, puzzles just don’t make for good tv and certainly not the specific puzzles they are using. The peephole one was just alltime bad.

    I liked Emmanuelle enough the first season he was on but man he has been a dud this season.

    Depending on the situation I go back and forth on whether or not Olivia is attractive. Sometimes she looks good and other times she looks fake as hell.

    i know it’s been harped on a lot in here but fuck this is the absolute worst cast ever. extremely undeserving group in the finale outside of nurys.

    it’s stupid but i hate these players get to say “i made a final”

    The only person in the final that saw an elimination is Nurys. I dont think I've disliked anyone more than Jay and Michele this season.

    need to bring back the skull thing where you have to win an elimination to go to a final. also why did like 1/3 of the cast make the final. should only be max 5 people
