    Was it just me or was Brad throwing it so hard the balls were sortve breaking and preventing sticking? And somehow he never caught on to that?

    Josh made the right move. Corey probably has the least clout and connections of anyone left in the house. Bananas or Laurel winning and coming back would have caused him significantly more problems than Corey or Jonna.

    Laurel is a fucking cunt.

    Also, the amount of dog shit decisions by some of these players is astonishing.

    Tony has to go down as the dumbest player in show history. My God what a stupid fucking asshole.

    Bye bye Darrell and Tina...

    *Legit LOL'd when Kyland awkwardly while trying to act like a hard ass said that he was willing to die while trying to win in an elimination

    *Tina using the "My Mom was from here so I don't want to leave, please don't send me in" card was a choice

    *Devin has Corey rattled by not going in. Should be fun to watch him lose it next week

    *Took about 20 years but props to Darrell for successfully doing a heights challenge

    *Derrick's knee situation doesn't look great

    It has been great so far but watching the Vacation Alliance settling in and slowly pick everyone off just isn't enjoyable to me. There is really no one on Era 3 or 4 to root for. I like Jordan but he's a lot less fun when he's a part of that alliance. Maybe Jenny as the underdog but can't imagine she lasts much longer. The rest can fuck off, I'm tired of them dragging down season after season.

    Darrell smoothing out the sand resonated with me, its 100% something I would do.

    I could have done the math in my head tho

    I was losing my mind when the girls seemingly weren’t doing the math as they went and Michelle went back like 19 times.

    Then Kyland seemed to do the math easily in his head but took forever pulling 8 million polls out

    Did you have to pull every single pole out or did you just need to pull enough to move on? could you have stepped over some or ducked under? I get it was tight in there, but all of their strategies seemed super fucking dumb

    Could also be that it was easier for the women to get through without removing every pole due to them being smaller

    Good riddance Kaycee. She straight up sucks. Devin is at least entertaining most of the time but Kaycee may as well be a piece of furniture in the house.

    Jordan pretty much nailed it saying Devin just overthought it. Devin's one of my faves because he's entertaining but he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is -- which stems from how dumb everyone else is.

    Thought Josh got done dirty a bit by the edit this week.

    Michelle has slowly grown into the person I most don't want to be on my screen.

    That episode drew me back in. Cut the head off the snake and no longer have to watch a season of slow death as a massive alliance picks everyone off.

    Kyland can be annoying at times but he's a good competitor and gets the Challenge. Don't mind him becoming a regular.

    Devin is trying so hard to be Bananas it's painful to watch at times.

    This was me from the first moment she spoke on camera. The way she talks and her cadence are jarring to me.

    She's also laughably fake and attention seeking for the camera. There was scene last night where everyone was laying around in pajamas and she was the only one that had pounds of makeup on and an outfit clearly for tv

    I thought Josh was in the right last night but everyone is right about his normal MO so I was fine with him getting shit on.

    Agree 100% about how fake Michelle seems and her cadence when talking to the camera. It’s rough.

    Worst elimination of all time? Makes it so much worse watching that when I stumbled upon Fresh Meat 2 on tv last night and the elimination was essentially a mini final, and it was only the second episode of that season

    It was not a good elimination. Ryan is significantly lighter than Bananas so he would have won had he not sucked ass at riding.

    I think they thought the elimination would have played well on TV...Mario Kart style as they mentioned...but, it did not.

    Also, the episode could have been 30 minutes shorter....did not need 30 minutes of why they should put Bananas in when it was the obvious play.

    Now see, I didn't think putting Bananas in was that obvious a call in this situation. There was about a 1% chance he would lose to Ryan. Once Ryan finished last, Tori should have pivoted to Derek and saved going after Bananas another day. Seemed to be more of an emotional decision instead of a good game playing one.

    I think you have to take your shot at Bananas when you get one. You could always get lucky with the elimination being very puzzle-centric.

    Bananas is on the 1st season and Wes on the 2nd. I'm about halfway through the 1st. It's a little like The Challenge but with reality villains.

    Later Laurel. Those comments by Cara at the end...."She wasn't in good enough shape and hadn't been on a season with so many good females" will play well at the Reunion.

    Theo too big to run a final. Nehemiah being gone...meh.
