Agreed. Needs some continuity.

With that said this season is the best season since 35 total madness

crazy how many people use to watch this show and now not many people do. Big brother sucks and is boring and cheesy and gets way more viewers.

I always forget Cara Maria's name, so I call her Punk Rock Alyssa Milano.

That's a great comparison

Survivor and Amazing Race are still in the rotation though.

Yeah. Those two I enjoy. Big brother might be the worst reality show on TV.

Blue was saying her and America would be whispering all season on the challenge and the producers and camera men would tell them to speak up because no one could hear them. They were thinking they were on big brother

quote:

And I agree with the continuity on the teams. But my assumption is that production wants to keep the cast on their toes because in recent years the game has gotten a bit predictable. And ultimately im okay with that. Plus it should naturally create some decent drama with people not being able to keep allegiance with a partner for more than a day or two. It’ll also shift how people are picking their teammates. So I think I’m good with the mixup.

---

Yeah. I can agree with that. I do hope if they have another fresh meat season they just stick with the same teams like season 12 and 20.

Changing the rules after every challenge is gonna ruin this season

I mean, I get what you’re saying. But also, I’ve seen way too many seasons these days where some core group mastered the rules of the game like 2-3 weeks and it gets really boring as they pick and choose who they want eliminated.

Leroy getting picked first again is fricking wild to me. Do people think he’s Leroy from 15 years ago? It’s blowing my mind.

Olivia picked Justin because he’s underestimated, you guys. He’s totally an athlete and just because he’s a cheerleader doesn’t mean he’s not an athlete, people. I’m glad they at least got that out of the way within the first 60 seconds this time.

I can’t get over how sickly Nany looks.

And Derrick picked last. That may be because he’s a dumb as a bag of dicks though.

I’m torn on the Nia/Gabe thing. I get where she’s coming from and I sort of think good for her for calling him out. But at the same time, she does seem lazy as frick this season (and maybe even in recent seasons too?). So I also get Gabe’s point too. Plus I generally don’t like Nia.

It feels like there’s no way they can send Gabe straight to elimination as the losing team if they don’t even get to compete, especially since it’s his partner who can’t play.

I want to like Sydney so much but she just annoys the shite out of me with her cocky bullshite.

Why in the world would Derrick yell for help? That was strange. But as expected, they played up the drama with it last week’s previews.

Not sure why you’d ever want to send the girl up the wall unless she is just an incredible swimmer with rock wall experience like Sydney. Or you’re CT and can’t get up the wall period.

Justin is an underdog that people are starting to pay attention to, you guys. Y’all are just a bunch of bigots.

Olivia is annoying, but she is right. Theo has been disappointing the last several seasons he’s been on.

Oh, Leroy fricking quit and barely got 1/3 up the wall and refused to complete the challenge? fricking shocker. Can’t wait to see him get picked first again next week. He fricking sucks and has for like his last ten seasons now.

Cedric climbing the wall and diving and still beating Michaela to the puzzle is inexcusable from her. That’s pathetic.

Oh shite. It’s a female elimination again. That’s interesting. So at least Nia fricked herself over and not Gabe.

Why is Johnny worried about being voted in because he’s attached to America and if she loses he’s the hangnail? He’d definitely get picked by someone. There’s no downside for him if they are voted in.

Or does the hangnail automatically have to sit out the next challenge? I thought they re-picked after every elimination. And even if you sit out, you don’t go directly into elimination as the hangnail, right? So the only downside is you don’t get the chance to win and keep yourself out of elimination. Which isn’t some huge deal since Johnny doesn’t win every time or whatever. And he does have some solid numbers on his side. And if he goes into the sand, it would be against whoever came in last anyway. I think I’m confusing myself.

Hey, producers, can you please show more clips of Aneesa dancing in slow motion with clothes that don’t fit her? That’s definitely what viewers are clamoring for. Thanks.

CT is such a good social player. He’s in the kitchen sucking Olivia’s dick and that will help him later on.

I can’t tell if Sydney is hot or not. She sort of seems like it.

You guys, I wish you’d stop underestimating Justin. He’s like really good and second in points. At least some people are calling out his arrogance a little though.

Hey, Justin. All thoughts are “brain thoughts.” Idiot.

Them saving Izzy is a weird decision. Unless they think she’s good and that will help them in the future. Who knows.

Johnny is annoying as frick. But he’s entertaining tv. And he’s right, it’s a side shot at him.

I’ll say it every week, but I can’t believe how chill Turbo is this season.

Johnny is 100% right with Olivia. But it is hilarious justice to see him bitching at her for what he’s literally done his whole challenge career (get others to do his bidding for him).

America’s parents are Mexican? How ironic.

Nia can’t continue. That sucks. It’s weird they went through the whole ruse of an elimination, and even telling her “you lost tonight’s elimination.” WTF.

Sydney and Turbo should be a good pairing.

Ha. Thanks. I’m just glad at least one person reads all of my bullshite.

How long have you been watching the challenge/ road rules and the real world

---

Since they first aired on MTV in the 90s. I eventually sort of grew out of the Real World after 10+ seasons but occasionally watched a season. I watched most of the Road Rules seasons I think. And I’ve always watched the challenges since back when it was legit competitions between shows.

I love that shite for whatever reason.

nia was my most hated real world cast member coming into this show. She’s become more likable but now i never want her cast again. She's is strictly an appearance fee bum now. Great news she just posted that she is retired from the challenge because of her knee.

Im loving her. She is a female wes which was needed IMO. Plus she’s attractive and athletic.

from what their podcast were saying it was much higher than the tv lead on. Many people struggled and felt like they were gonna drown and got tired.

I had no problem sending him in week 1. Hell I would have done the same. With that said he showed that he has endurance and is an athlete. They should know better now.

Im with you. I loved olivia her rookie season. Hated her the next 2 and can't stand her this season but she is good for this show.

He would be the hang nail and it would make an easy excuse for the house to vote him in. I'm very disappointed in the vets and the rookies. Zero respect for bananas for this season. if anything they are treating him like gay Justin episode 1

I can’t tell if Sydney is hot or not. She sort of seems like it.

she was skinner in survivor looking at old pics. She's still attractive just a little thick this season

izzy is hot and great for this show but she needs to be fricking humbled in the worst way. Where did she get this entitlement from these 3 episodes. Another girl that is brainwashed and gonna ruin her game because she hates bananas or olivia told her too.


Olivia is secretly becoming the Kenny and Evan and johnny of the old days.

I don't know if I fricking hate her or secretly want to like her a little at this point.

quote:

I’ll say it every week, but I can’t believe how chill Turbo is this season.

This. It’s like CT of the Duel II and then coming into 40. I don't recognize this turbo but i still love him. Turbo fricking with theo about how he's the bitch in the relationship was great

quote:

america is cute and i want to her like but her calling out bananas at the end rubbed me the wrong way :lol: America doesn’t look comfortable on this show.

Makes me disappointed that Jordan used to date/hook up with Nia.

Speaking of that, I miss Jordan on challenges. He would have elevated this season a ton (and made it even better than it already is trending so far).

I could see Jordan and somebody like Sydney hooking up and being fairly dominant together.
