That entire episode reeks of selective editing and production frick ups. I guarantee that Ninja did something to garner that reaction, but the narrative is crazy Laurel so it looks better if she reacted that way unprovoked.

Was that elimination better or worse than the one where Zach won, went crazy and threw his helmet at the gallery, and then found out he was DQ’d for a rule violation?

I think last nights was better. The slow motion crotch shots from Laurel, along with the Banana's alliance reactions was amazing, especially to see their pure joy turn to sadness and disappointment.

Laurel...cringeworthy

The only thing I wish was that Wes would have still been there. To get to see him frick with Johnny after that elimination and power move attempt would have been incredible.

Johnny continues to stir up shite about Wes working with people when Johnny is the king of that. The entire cast is such hypocrites when it comes to that element of the game.

On a side note, Ninja really sucked at that elimination considering she is a climbing master. She describes herself as a "Proish climber" on her instagram page. I expected her to scale that tree like a monkey or squirrel. Instead, it looked like she was taking her sweet time. It shouldnt have been close. It wasn't like Laurel was scaling that thing quickly either.

But I will giver her props for telling the Brits she wanted Laurel. That was a boss move

Nah I mean I think she was annoyed with Nat jumping around and dancing so cocky when she saw the challenge thinking she had already won.

That plus the fact that she literally called her out to go against her was why Laurel reacted the way she did. Plus she’s an awkward nerd so she would do something like that as a 35 year old woman

It was an awesome and epic elimination and twist of fortunes not just for her and Nat but for the whole house with both sides going from elation and utter defeat and vice versa.

Season has been great
