    With Swaggy, Cory, Kyle, and Josh still left, feels like Wes made a mistake. I would rather go against all those guys than Bananas.

    It was his ego. He couldn’t resist not taking bananas out.

    They can start the final next week, don’t really care if anybody else gets a red skull. So many of the good/entertaining people have gone home.

    Feels like everyone besides Cory is just trying to stay in the game for air time or whatever their appearance fee is.

    Speaking of Cory, his girlfriend is gorgeous and one of the more attractive people to be on MTV. It’s a a shame she’s a white trash piece of shit.

    The trivia episode is always one of the best episodes of the season due to how dumb so many are and it got completely upstaged. Nelson's 50% comment was very funny and on brand tho.

    I can't blame Wes for taking his shot, but agree with Bananas on two things ...

    *Wes was mad somehow Bananas outsmarted him by losing.

    *That triggered Wes into taking an unneeded risk. I would have put money on Wes against any other person that was still remaining without a skull...it was 50/50 with Bananas. He should have eaten some pride and let someone else in.

    *When it was Nelson's trivia turn and T.J. laughingly said "This should be good" I about spit out my gin. Errybody loves how stupid he is.

    *That being said....I think Josh is equally dumb.

    *Melissa's baby lived through another high drop into water. That kid is a beast.

    As a Wes stan, this is a sad day. Dee probably gets eliminated next week, I am assuming she faces Mattie. Wes alliance is crumbling :feelsbadman:

    may or may not have had a tear brought to the eye watching them talk about their relationship at the end. been watching them since i was 12-13 so it is something. dumb decision by wes but not surprised one bit by his decision.

    here is to hoping dee goes home next week

    I think everybody in the house has convinced themselves that they’re going to end eliminations and skip straight to the final in 1-2 more challenges, so folks are panicking.

    if that doesn’t happen, there will be a lot of second guessing.

    also i would love it if they continued this red skull thing throughout the next seasons. this first season with it was a trial run so i would like to see how people would navigate it next time

    For sure they need to keep it.

    I also think they should add something where having more than 1 red skull gives you power to skip eliminations or have somebody take your place or something like that. Winning 2+ eliminations should give some power

    Do we know why guys aren’t fighting Bananas to go in for the house vote? If I don’t have a red skull how does delaying going in help you? There is only a few challenges left, if that. Every guy without one needed to be making a push to get in. I don’t care “who you want to run the final with” if you aren’t in it.

    because deep down they are terrified and don’t want to go home. it is pathetic week in and week out to see players like swaggy and kyle do everything they can to avoid going in.

    During one of his interviews or whatever you call them last night he spent like 15 seconds talking about how he needs to get in there to get a red skull ASAP....and then went into like 20 seconds where he talked about how it's probably a good idea if he just waits another week. He's such an imbecile and completely scared of going in.

    Props to Wes for changing the game and bringing it to new heights by introducing PEDs.

    If you factor in every aspect of the game not just athleticism, he’s somewhere in the top 5.

    Bananas is #1 ...there's a large group in next level that you could shake out a multitude of ways

    Level 35 is Josh.

    Josh tries SO hard to make himself relevant, because he knows it is how he gets invited back for that guaranteed weekly money in future seasons.

    Unfortunately for him, Wes pretty much took Josh’s attempted rivalry and turned Josh into even more a joke this season.

    I will be shocked if we ever see him on another season. Thank god.

    I think Josh will be back....I bet they think/he probably does bring some viewers due to being a Big Brother Champion.

    Completely agree that he is terrible tho.

    He is universally regarded as the least deserving Big Brother Champion ever, and possibly in all of reality television.

    With that said, I unfortunately agree they may bring him back. Typically The Challenge likes to focus on players who have pull and could possibly win whether they be “villains” or not, but the hate for Josh may entice them to bring him back.

    Honestly, I think it 100% depends on Wes. If he is back next season, then they will invite Josh. If not, then he really has no interesting storyline. He’s essentially a parasite to Wes in the game at this point.

    I actually think if they do it well....the reunion special will be very fun if they can show how much Josh talks about Wes caring about him and then then the clips of Wes telling the tribunals he doesn't even want Josh to be talked to.

    Pretty much 100% chance of embarrassed Josh standing up and screaming at Wes, while Wes laughs and tells him he sucks.

    It would be awesome.

    Great season so far. I was loving the Bananas/Wes alliance so I’m sad to see it go. Wish they would’ve thrown Cory down and we got to see a Bananas, Fessy, Wes, and Rogan final. That would’ve been 4 legit guys and a good fight to win it all. Don’t see how Jenny doesn’t win easily on the girl side.

    Just saying Wes could have thrown in Kyle, then almost certainly gotten a shot at josh in the following week. But it was an awesome tv moment.


    But Wes played his smartest and calmest game in a long time.

    if Cory and Nelson are in the final together, that’d be a pretty big deal
