On the men’s side, I think John and Wes are in a rough spot. Only 3 of 9 men have red skulls.

Also the men’s challenges in general have been much more physical. Wes is great at anything that isn’t pure strength or involves fighting/super physical but it looks like he may have to get in there on a tough physical challenge against someone who can take a beating like Kyle or someone who is just 4 inches taller than him.



At least one of them is going to regret not going in against Nelson. That was a relatively easy match up.

why do you think that? nelson is about as dumb as they come but he's really good in eliminations. like one of the best ever. if it was a mental/strategy elimination, we may have seen wes jump on it but that was purely physical and nelson dominated.

Wes and John are two of the weakest guys left. All they have is their political game.

I disagree. Both are pretty strong competitors actually, especially John. He's actually usually pretty good at shite. And he plays smart, which Wes also does (even if Wes isn't as good as roided up Wes used to be).

I think he is fairly weak at just about everything. Bear was checked out for some reason.

I’m just finishing it. Wes is a damn dumbass. What was he thinking. Chris, Josh, and Kyle left on the table and he went full blown stupid.

Wes should has pushed Cory in and that would have all but paved his way to a red skull.

It was incredibly stupid but I think I know why Wes did it. He'd rather lose to Bananas than risk losing to Josh or Cory and even Kyle. This way he looks like he stepped up to a tough elimination. If he loses to one of the other guys he looks weak. If he wins he looks great and has a much better shot of winning the final. At least he got 5K from BK.....Rogan has to be regretting that one.

I think Wes felt actual loyalty. The strategic move would have been to pick Fessy and put him right back in there and see if he could beat bananas.

On this elimination, I actually think Fessy might have lost. Big guys are always going to have trouble with agility but it’s a risk you take.

But I don’t know why Wes put himself in. There are likely two more guys’ eliminations.

Wes I think blinded by emotion on this one. I think he was ready to hand pick Josh and go down an get his skull. He had the ultimate tribunal to do it, Dee and Rogan would have given him whatever he wanted... And the John blindside him with that move.

Wes didn't see that living another day is better than going against John.

I would be pissed, too, if I were Wes. I won, I had the deck in my favor and an almost lock to get a skull, then here comes my alliance outmanuvering me at my own game.

The big mistake for both of them was not going in early on when the field was deep with weaker players. You could tell that after watching Fessy destroy Jordan, they knew they couldn't go against him, so this week was the best opportunity.

Losing Wes from a show standpoint is going to be pretty bad. The only guys left with any personality at all are John and Kyle. I would bet we are going to get lots and lots more dumbass Josh drama to fill airtime.

The guys left without a skull are now Swaggy, Cory, and Josh. I think only one of them come out of it with a skull and the remaing guy gets screwed out of the final.

I just wonder who John is going to work with most now. He's got Kyle and probably Aneesa and Nany, and maybe Jenny. I also wonder if someone tries to pull a Power move and get John out of the game before the final.

I knew with the way they were editing their storyline this season, they were going to match up at some point. However, I thought someone was going to throw one of them in against the other.

These are actually tough questions instead of the easier ones that usually make them all look stupid. I was guessing on some of them.

I love how Melissa said they were 50 feet in the air. It looks like they are maybe 15-20 at most.

Who the hell is this Asian dude cheering for Rogan? Oh, nevermind...it's Dee.

Josh is saying that John is his friend. Did I miss something?

Kyle saying that John tells you straight is one of the more hilarious things ever on the show.

Josh doesn't like Wes because he's cocky and arrogant and a prick. So he's cheering for John. Makes complete sense. Idiot.

Crazy that Wes knocked out all of the walls and somehow missed the battery. Would have been awesome had it come closer down to the wire and he wouldn't have skipped it.

Good episode, and good elimination matchup, even though I would have liked to see them head to head in something physical (I still think John takes him though). What's weird is that they both honestly seemed to be fairly genuine with their feelings toward one another. Guess Wes was right and they have matured.

Agreed. I would have been pissed as well. But strangely, it was a good move for both John and Wes, even though I would have sat it out if I was Wes.

Someone said throw in Fessy, and that would have been an interesting move.

That would have been an interesting elimination if Jordan had both hands. He's not a big dude, but he's stronger than he seems and he always plays battles really intelligently. I'm not saying he would've won, but he damn sure wouldn't have gotten tossed around like he did (or injured most likely).

I think Kyle somehow floats to the final. Don't know how but it just feels that way.

Always hate to see Wes eliminates. He’s great for the show

Really enjoyed the ending after the elimination them taking to one another. Bananas really seemed genuine about his feelings toward Wes. Hopefully we get to see them one more time in the future.

It worked out for John but he should have played in different in the bar. His story should have been help me get a win against Swaggy or Corey. Once I have a red skull it is in my best interest to get in the tribunal. That way I avoid going back in. You(Wes) and I(Johnny) will be going all out for tribunal. You will have twice the chance to go in and you can hand pick your opponent.

Thank God for the Challenge and a 90 minute break from the world ending.
