Derrick K is at least team bananas. That vote made no sense. Gay Derrick doesn't like bananas so i could see that happening.

CT has basically turned into a muscular Big Easy.

Ct was so embarrassed by this season ended up being a good thing. He lost 40 pounds already and is back on track for old CT

Wouldn't the best story line be him coming back next season back to his old weight and having flashbacks to this old days and blacking out and fighting a rookie. He even mentioned the rookies being nice to him and feeling bad that he was such a overweight bum this season. Sometimes you need to reach rock bottom to get back to the top.



That was badass elimination. What was rogan doing

What a underdog win. This was one of the best starts of the challenge in a while.

Rogan got booted first in his first season. Won his second season. Got kicked off first in his third season

Aneesa: "I'm in the best shape I've been in."

It looks hot as shite and TJ is wearing a jacket.

I'm not sure how long these rounds are, but I can't imagine the strategy of ever grabbing a single red ball unless that is literally all there is left. You should be pounding blues and grays with an eye out for any gold that you can find. But the reds are a huge waste of time, especially on your first 5-10 trips to your basket.

CT already gassed in the first challenge. That dude either comes in looking like a god, or comes in looking 40 pounds overweight and like he hasn't jogged in years. There's no in between.

Looks like they are gonna beat it into the viewers that gay cheer dude Justin "is an athlete."

I wonder if you're allowed to shoot the ball into the basket or if you have to actually climb all the way out. Or if you shoot it and miss does it not count or something.

Cedric looks like he's 15 years old.

It's weird that Adrienne didn't get her foot looked at after the first round. If it is gashed that could get infected in a heartbeat. Five days of no walking. That sucks.

If Jake is any sort of competitor, he and Cara could make some noise.

Of course John gets first place. Say what you want about him, but that dude is just good at the Challenge.

I like the points aspect for winning/placing in challenges. I wonder how that's gonna affect things. Would be great if you had to have a certain number to make the final. Not sure they have the balls to do that, but the "no coasting" comment by TJ has me hopeful.

Izzy is a smokeshow. Jesus.

Nia worried about going home if Justin is eliminated is hilarious. Obviously they aren't sending two people home every week. The show would last 2 months.

Hey, Justin is an athlete, you guys. Just FYI.

There's absolutely no reason for the US to not vote in another UK person. Because they are always gonna try and form an alliance. Same with people from the same shows (i.e. Big Brother). Same with rookies (although they aren't usually smart enough to ally together and vote as a block and they sometimes want to attach themselves to vets to stick around). But it is always a numbers game, and the biggest numbers should always stick together, especially initially.

Olivia looks pretty good with dark hair.

This house/compound they are living in is absolutely massive.

Hilarious that the saved team still votes. That was a pretty big gamble.

So it's a team vote? That's dumb.

Derek voting for Justin is absolutely hilarious. And him saying that he could see where the majority was going, when it was literally tied 6-6...that's fantastic.

I really, REALLY hope it's a physical challenge and Justin beats Rogan. That would be awesome. Because Justin is an athlete, y'all.

Justin: Derek.
TJ: Which one?

Man, I don't remember Michaela at all.

Seems like once you get over that first hump, you should be able to push forward and ride that momentum to the end. But I assume the wheels are heavier than they look so maybe you can't? But physics should accomplish that, no? But they keep diving and falling instead of running and using the wheel instead of purely their legs.

John is coaching Justin perfectly with the "run forward then run backwards, then forward again" until it goes over the hump. Seems fairly simple.

Boom. There you go. Justin rode the last three humps all at the same time. Just like I thought. Rogan is an idiot.

Rogan handled it like a man though...no excuses and Justin was just better. Surprised to hear that from him. It's too bad Justin is gay, because he should go back to the house and try to frick Izzy just to spite Rogan.

Nany's mouth is freaking me out.

Preview for the rest of the season looks good. Turbo going at CT. Aneesa and Ashley going at each other. Threats stepping up. Etc. Hope the season is as good as the first episode was.

I actually like most of the UK alliance, but the thought of Olivia running the game had me rooting for the cheerleader. Sucks that Theo is tied to her.

---

Agree 100% with that. Olivia is already annoying as frick this season and it's only been two episodes.

I do like Theo a lot though.

Can’t comprehend how stupid both the Derricks are for their votes. You know there’s a UK alliance and you have a chance to nip it in the bud and you don’t? Old Derrick used to be one of my favorites but now he thinks he’s some political mastermind and he just constantly does dumb shite.

---

I do agree with Derrick, but I also get his reasoning for voting how he did. Especially being one of the smaller dudes on the show, him being able to choose his opponent in an elimination is important. I do agree he should be lock step in line with the vets' voting though.

quote:

---

I assume that will be the case as well. It's weird that TJ flips a coin to see who goes down though...they may have to course correct if they get too many of one sex in a row.

---

He might coin flip every other one, and that flip determines the next two eliminations. Or maybe every time and if there are two female "hangnails" when the first female is eliminated then the lone guy gets to pick?

We'll see..

Olivia and Theo walk off the podcast as a joke

They discuss episode 1


Episode 1 on MTV for Free

I haven't read through the thread, but I'm sure its been mentioned that CT looks like shite. Its like he ate T Bob Hebert.

ETA:

This reminded me of something. A couple of years ago I mentioned to the wife that I think I need to lose a few pounds. She told me "No, you don't you're not fat. You look like CT."

Now I'm wondering which CT she meant, because that dude rebounds between kinda jacked and very fat often.

When we were watching the first episode of this new season, I asked her "If I ever get that fat, will you tell me? Because I'd want you to."

She replied "I don't think I could."

Now I'm really worried.

Let's see if fat CT can get into challenge shape after a couple weeks on the challenge.

Rogan and that new kid ben are beefing. Ben is a boxer/MMA fighter and Rogan said he's gonna beat his arse next time they see each for talking shite behind his back.

I don't know how I feel about them switching teams already. What was the point of that mountain climb? It was all for nothing.

Episode 2 tonight.

I absolutely don't understand why production made them switch teams. They whole mountain race was fricking pointless and they lost so many good storylines they had from the first 2 episodes



I loved Izzy but she needs a humble pie at this point. Bananas is the challenge women. Stop bitching about having him as your partner and be thankful. He led 2 women to win 40. Shut up and learn from him women.

Dee picking Leroy was so stupid

Sydney is comedy gold. Kind of like a PG rated Kenny
America wants to have sex with CT She's so in awe of him as a reality tv fan.

Cara Marie needs to stop cock blocking. The old OG's use to be able to put shite aside and stick together and vote the same way. Cara marie CT derrick are all wild cards when voting. SMH

CT is eating his way out of this season.

Will and Dee used to hook up.

Drinking game every time TJ does his laugh

I love these challenges.

So many good looking women this season. Tay has some nice sweater hounds

I didn't think I would like Blue she's likable so far.

Nia is useless for her size.

I hated turbo at first now I love the man. Him and Leka killed tha challenge.

Dee going over to cheat. HAHA

We are once again proved wrong by Fat CT. They just crushed it and America wrapped her legs around that big man

My boy Derrick is gonna get Blue's arse sent home. Jesus Christ D. What a terrible showing. lol

After that comment from Izzy I want her arse gone now. She's got it out for bananas.

Dee picking Leroy first is pretty wild.

Aneesa: after years of this I’m just thinking that these points mean something.
Well no fricking shite, dummy.

Hey, you guys…Justin is a badass competitor even though he’s a cheerleader. Just FYI.

This challenge looks hard as frick. It’s hard to see the symbols in slow motion, let alone when they are zooming overhead at like 45 mph.

Ah, okay. That makes more sense. It’s basically like a sudoku puzzle and you can figure it out without watching the buggies anyway.

I love how they make Adrienne just sit there in a circle in the dirt.

I love that Derrick is in the bottom two on a puzzle challenge. I love that dude, but he is dumber than a bag of dicks.

It’s hilarious that Leo and Derek are fighting bc Leo stole his drink.

Turbo seems so much more laid back now. I know he and CT get into it later on. But he almost seems….fun and sane this season. I do kinda miss psychotic Turbo though.

I don’t really need to see John’s lame pickup lines every single week. But I guess that’s what we’re getting. And Will getting all up in his feelings is dumb.

It’s awesome thar Dee fricked Will (apparently) at the hotel before the show. I really, and I mean REALLY, hope Dee is 100% using John for game and doesn’t really like him. That would be absolutely hilarious.

Oh man, please let Will go home because he injured his hand punching the wall because of Dee. That would be incredible.

Taylor looks like she’s got a pretty sick body in that bathing suit. And she seems like she has a cool attitude about everything.

Adrienne’s accent is awful.

This elimination is creative and cool as hell. And VERY physical.

Seems like a solid strategy on defense is to either tackle the person or try to jam your hands inside of their arms and try to lock them in place to hold them.

Seems like on offense you’d want to charge straight into the person and use spin moves so they can’t grab or tackle you. But sheer blunt force when they can’t use their hands seems smart.

It’s odd that Blue went first on offense all three rounds. That doesn’t seem fair. ETA: But makes sense if it was actually five rounds.

And I don’t care how tired you are, not diving at lasers to get the point is egregious.

Good for Taylor. Always awesome when someone calls you out because they think you’re an easy win and you punch them in the mouth. She also made Sydney eat her words with how she said Taylor is all like “oh whatever happens happens” and Blue was saying she’d be back at the house. How’d that work out?

Looks like some fake edited drama next week with Derrick in the container. John versus Olivia should be interesting enough I guess.
