    Yeah, there’s quite a few with only one season under their belt and a few more with 2-3. Not sure how they’re considered “all-stars”

    I guess All Stars just sounds better than The Challenge: Nostalgia

    Tried fact checking this and sounds like the answer is somewhere around 8 weeks so more like 2 months.

    Got impatient several months ago waiting for AS4 to air and looked up the spoilers...excited to see how it plays out. Should be good tv

    I almost never look at spoilers for that reason. Only thing I looked up was who wins though.

    So I basically just have to enjoy watching how it unfolds.

    I don’t seek it out but have been spoiled on twitter quite a bit the last few years. It honestly hasn’t lessened the enjoyment for me, I just watch it from a different lens where you feel like a producer almost.

    "He's going to amputate his leg" made me chuckle pretty hard. That definitely could have been written better.

    So Emmanuel only won because Colleen didn’t scramble up her sudoku after she finished. He just copied her answer and took off. Bad season all around

    Nelson is a complete loser and deserves no sympathy. He hid the fact that his accident was a result of his drunk driving and set up a GoFundMe to get donations.

    Cast coming out. Cast, location and the theme in this thread, but no other spoilers (they are leaving today)




    There's also a thread on Vevmo that will have quicker updates but will be harder to sift through

    The list is stacked, sucks that Wes is not doing it. They got all the champion girls besides Evelyn. They need to get Rogan, Zaza and Kaz on there.

    Definitely one of the best casts they have put out in awhile. Hopefully they can bring back some of the drama/shenanigans of earlier seasons

    Looked like Ayanna got good push on Rachel, immediately started talking shit to Cam and then got dominated the rest of the way. Hate it for her. She kept acting like she was all innocent but Jasmine was right side was toxic as fuck. Glad she’s gone

    This season of all stars is not great. Do we have a date on when season 40 will start?

    Yeah, her reaction to Cara not voting in Rachel (when Rachel got voted in anyway) and deciding to go all-in with Laurel and Nicole turned out to be foolish, especially since Laurel knifed her this week (which I don’t think Cara would have done). Her game instincts seemed off and Leroy seemed to have a better read on things.

    But at least she wasn’t sloppily making out with her ex and getting into cringey screaming matches.

    yeah laurel looks like an absolute idiot, especially knowing that nicole is engaged to a whole different woman now. i didn’t understand kam’s line of thinking though this season, like you mentioned about the rachel thing. she wanted all these people to follow her requests yet when cara asked that then people are “sheep” and cara is a sneaky player etc. she played way too emotional instead of strategical

    Yeah but this was 7 months after having a kid and post-partum anxiety can be super crazy (and fickle) so I'm gonna cut her some slack

    Things have gone pretty well for Cara all things considered. Got her star week 1 and held it for all but a week. Got immediate revenge on both Jasmine and Brandon, knocked Kam and Rachel both out of the game. She just needs to make it one more women’s elimination. Going to be tough because whoever will probably steal her star. She needs to win that daily.

    Veronica might just slide all the way into the final.

    Finally caught up, I like the format and overall it’s a decent cast too. Laurel/Nicole are pretty draining is my only real complaint

    he definitely could have if he didn’t forget that it was one per lap. Cara would have crushed it if she had just one more star or if Laurel had one less.
