re: MTV THE CHALLENGE Season 40 Cast Revealed

Josh has screwed over Cory a bunch of times now. Looks like Cory is finally realizing Josh is not his ally. I don't know why anyone trusts Josh.

ill never be sad about repeating, josh is literally the worst.
i have no clue why tori and everyone else haven't noticed it before this episode, but is seems like the tide is turning.

Heard him in podcast say he immmediately left that challenge in an ambulance. Torn ACL, torn meniscus, and another minor tear (PCL?).

Yikes. I can’t believe they let him compete on that leg then. Seems like they’ve sent people home with way less worse injuries than that before.

What a G

No shite.

And he left with a “I love this shite, it’s part of my DNA. I’ll always answer when the challenge comes calling” type of statement too. So hopefully he doesn’t hang ‘em up.

I mean... he did play through it. I have torn both mine and in one case I didn't have surgery for months. It was very unstable but not something that required me to be on crutches or anything.

You're right though, very difficult for lateral movement.

I really hate that MTV isn't streaming this season. Normally if I miss an episode on Wednesday night I can catch it at work the next day on mtv.com, but for whatever reason they aren't available this season.

I'll just have to catch it at home tonight I guess (on DVR).

I’ve been watching all the old seasons on Paramount+ and just finished the Island (never watched that particular season for whatever reason). Seems like that was a series changing season with the intense politicking that went on…and was the birth of Bananas’ dominance using that skill set. It was a different type season but a real game changer.


Was disappointed to start the Duel 2 and find that episode 1 is not available. Not sure why but I think it’s the one where CT and Adam both get kicked off.

Also, finally made it to the High Def era of the Challenge

Laurel nailed it with how dumb it is that people freak out over math when it’s literally mostly just addition and subtraction.

Rachel got 6? Six? I realize she technically only needs to get one but Jesus. The good news it is a challenge she could feasibly win, albeit tough.

Five seconds is super fast to get latched onto the wall. Teams should jump down and give their teammates a shot at four pegs. Seems like the best chance.

Of course Jordan lasts longer than almost everybody on his team with only one fricking hand.

I wondered if Rachel won based on how they edited it. She’s a monster. And it actually benefits everyone that she won because otherwise a man would’ve won and the other two would’ve automatically gone in. At least now there’s a chance to argue your case to not go in.

Kaycee telling Rachel that she feels like there’s always been an alliance between them is hilarious. I can’t stand her.

As usual, Josh literally doesn’t even try to help anybody. He’s such a trash player on the show and in the game. All he does is talk big big about loyalty and how good he is. He’s trash, in all aspects.

Rachel’s choice seems obvious. She should send in Kyland and Kaycee and essentially team up with Laurel.

Tori and Kaycee calling each other their “brother” is annoying as frick.

Holy shite this elimination is tough. Seems like something Kyland and his autism is built for.

Actually nevermind. The plugs aren’t the same and they look pretty unique to the female outlets. So it’s not that hard and is just a matter of taking your time and matching them up. Devin lighting up two out of 40 was awesome though.

I find that I just really don’t like Kaycee on this show. And maybe it’s recency bias but I’m not sure she’s as good as her clout seems to be.

Rachel couldn’t have played this any more perfectly especially with it now switching to an individual game.

Go figure people like Michele are scared now that they have to compete individually.

At least now this “choosing targets” thing may get more interesting. But I still don’t like that there’s only three people on the chopping block before the challenge ever even happens. That’s a bad angle for this game. And now it’s gonna just be people throwing in other alliances almost in full.

The karma vote thing is completely fricking stupid. Total bullshite IMO.

The rest of season trailer looks decent. Them editing Derek to make him look like he’s fighting is hilarious. And Jenny calling anybody a “two face” is priceless with the amount of shite she’s done to hers.

What’s annoying about bananas is he’s quoted just a week ago saying this game is ruthless, no honor amongst thieves, etc but is always stunned when someone doesn’t have his back

Was this bad strategy again, or were the teams forced to spread out the pegs evenly? Seems they should’ve just picked the 2-3 best players per team and given them 4 pegs instead of giving everyone 2, right?

Not surprised Rachel won. The only closest option was Kaycee. She is a damn beast holding on as long as she did with just two fricking pegs.

Is this some weird gay or trans thing that everyone refers to Kaycee as their brother and then Kaycee refers to Tori as her brother?

Damn Devin got blasted. Kylen being one of those folks who identifies as like every victim class that exists is weird, but the dude is pretty beastly.

Josh has gone from the worst thing ever to now the best thing ever at how idiotic and pathetic he is. Dude cracks me up and is such a treasure. No one is worse at the game and a bigger baby. So funny.
