re: MTV The Challenge: Total Madness

frick. Nelson is that dude. Major respect to that guy

Kaycee is playing her BB game all over. Invisible (furniture) in the beginning and gaining more steam the closer to the prize.

I have never been a Nelson fan, but after tonight, he gained some major respect in my book. IMO Cory and Fessy would/ should have won that elimination pretty easily. If the Rogan/ Kyle rivalry was as big as its been made, Kyle is a bitch for not taking the lumber to the yard and getting physical.

I’m shocked John played it so fair. He didn’t nominate Fessy and he didn’t throw in Cory (the right guy to throw in if the goal was to get rid of Rogan).

More women went in multiple times than men.

Exclude today. Dee, Jenna, and Anneesa each went in one extra time. On the men’s side, Jay went in two extra times. So it’s lopsided by a count of one (3 extra times versus 2).

I think Nelson, Cory, and Rogan are very close in ranking.

But yeah, you’ve got to put Fessy in and hope it’s something fluky like blind fencing or world geography.

Nelson's a fricking idiot but that's the most noble move in the history of the challenge.

Makes me actually want the guy to win next time he's on the show. He's just too dumb for his own good, he had Rogan beat in Rd 1. Still don't think he would have won though. His legs were obviously gone.

Still can't believe John didn't throw in Fessie. But I really think he was thinking about future seasons there. He wants Kaycee as an alliance member and he would have pissed her off royally their with a Fessie move.

I can't believe how much Dee was hated by the entire house. It's amazing. Sucks too she'll never be mentioned again.

It's also incredible how Dee was easily the best match up for Jenny in hall brawl and she absolutely Trucked her.

Dee seemed scared though and had terrible strategy. She should have gone low and never learned.

BTW, why the hell did they get rid of the facemasks in hall brawl. They were invented so your face doesn't end up looking Nelson's after an Oklahoma drill.

Predictions for the final:

Bayleigh won't make it a half day.

Jenny is going to be hell to beat, but I think Casey is too well rounded and tough and wins for the girls. Melissa will finish a distant 3rd.

For the guys:

I think Fessie is going to burn out. There's a reason Marathon runners and endurance athletes aren't 6'5" and 260.

It also looks like the final will be at elevation, which means he needs way way more oxygen than a guy John's size.

Rogan will do well and Kyle is much tougher than he's given credit for, but I don't see him winning, especially if there's puzzles.

I think it's John's to lose, unless he gets paired with some shitty girl like Bayleigh.

But I dont think they're going to be paired up at all, similar to the desert final that Turbo won. I don't know how this Will be harder than that final, either.they had to get IVs and ran across the desert for 2 days.

Even Wes got eaten up in that final and an Olympian barely made it, too.

Crossing my fingers Mark Long's campaign for an OG Challenge continues to gain steam. He proposed the idea a couple weeks back. Basic jist is only OG Legends with only a 2 week filming period. So far legends like Timmy, Abram, Culhuuta, Landon, Theo(the comic), Beth, Coral, Tina and Evelyn have all said they are in. I am sure there are more, but cant remember at the moment. If MTV is smart they jump on this.


I am not buying Nelson's move was genuine. Either he saw this as a way to remake his image which would lead to him being a regular moving forward or it was scripted by production. Cory has been looking at his baby pictures all season and at the time of filming his new show with his girlfriend was still on the schedule. Not only is it super awkward and cringe worthy, but its obvious him doing so was for the cameras to set the narrative he is a good dad. Wouldnt put it past MTV to offer Nelson a backroom deal to sacrifice himself to help further the narrative and Cory's MTV career.

The ratings would actually be pretty huge, but 2 weeks just ain't enough time to film a show of any length.

Even champs v stars I think was filmed on the weekends over a few months.

The only way they could do a 2 week shoot, they'd have to have a challenge and elimination basically every day.

I was coming to say this as well. He's a monster, but I see a repeat of Zach in Free Agents happening. I just watched a clip of that and forgot how Laurel almost dragged him up a mountain.
