    I used to root for Laurel but I haven’t in a while. She sucks. Still astounded at her complete takedown of Big E years ago

    Never been a fan. Respect her ability to play the game but her personality has always been terrible and cringeworthy.

    She literally seems to get off on how bad she can emotionally destroy someone. Seems like a very bad person

    Agreed I liked her for awhile but the whole Nicole/Cara Maria situation has made her very unlikable.

    I assume Tony was trying to go home bc just a truly dumb move

    Derrick is a beast.

    Rare kudos to Aneesa for a very strong effort in her L to Jenny.

    Horacio’s soccer coach better get on his butt for not running at the end. Can’t believe he just walked care free to put that last peg in.

    Seems like Horacio got screwed. There’s clearly a missing jack in the top right for Derrick when he calls check.

    Derrick says the boards were fucked up and the pegs kept falling out/refs were picking them up to put back in throughout. You can see his 40th peg in that picture laying on top of two pegs in the row below it.

    Seems like some weirdness going on from production with some tweets from the cast. I doubt Horacio would’ve been walking over there if he thought it was close at all.

    Also, Josh and Corey are cowards. What are you even doing there if you're scared of very overweight CT with a damaged back?

    If he looked across from him and saw Derrick "missing" a peg, then he may have thought it was a wrap....when it wasn't.

    Putting the pieces together, I think Derrick finished and couldn't find another peg, saw it on the board just not in the hole, asked for a ruling and Horacio is finishing while that is happening, just waiting to see what they say

    Either way, at this point Horacio is super, super boring and Nurys is becoming annoying so I'm good if they aren't back for a while

    Agreed on Horacio. He's obviously in as good or better shape than every male there...but, I'm not sure he's great for The Challenge. He should probably stick to competitions that are just strictly athleticism based.

    I don't disagree on Horacio even though I root for him, I became a big Nurys fan after how last season ended (especially with how much I loathed Michelle and shitty hair dude whose name I can't come up with right now) so if you could kindly lay off her I'd appreciate it.

    I was too until her tweets last night when she clearly knows exactly what happened and why there's confusion. She's clearly lying in her tweets just to stoke the fires. It's annoying as fuck. Just another typical influencer-grifter archetype

    So, the plot of the season is fairly well set. Laurel is going to act like an asshole and screw over her own team during days where she is not a target. Everyone will then flip out on her, and she is going to lash out and act crazy. Then she’ll be backed into a corner, and cry and be made to look like a sympathetic character right before she gets eliminated and says she is a changed person.

    Seems like Emily and Nehemiah are about to get fucked over this next episode

    Derrick got the pieces on the board first. If they fall out, that’s a design problem. Not a Derrick problem.

    They showed Horacio and Derrick a video of them explaining the rules to them beforehand where they told them "Once a peg is placed it counts and they will fall out". Horacio says he obviously didn't pay attention to that and admits after seeing the video that it was a rule that they made him aware of...

    I’m so sick of Laurel. She has not evolved whatsoever in 15 years or however long she’s been in the challenge orbit. Just a cringeworthy mean girl bully.

    Laurel is obviously the worst, but it sure seemed like Cara went a little out of her way to get that interaction/reaction. Maybe just stay away from the crazy person as best you can? She got what she wanted tho, because Laurel completely lost her mind.

    Yeah man, this season obviously was never going to be his season. Just didn't really seem to have the energy or stamina.

    Hoping he can rebound and get back to where's been able to in previous season.
