not sure how corey's team could be fine with him weakening their team to help nelson? The other dudes may not care yet because better him than them but does send a shitty message.


Seemed like Keanu wanted to go in though. Any time someone is volunteering for an elimination you let them have it.

I think he just accepted he was going in vs. throwing a tantrum when you're outnumbered ala nurys

The Challenge peaked at #4, but notably dipped from the top ten on Tuesday, marking the first day since this season premiered that it was not a top ten series

23 out of 24 days it's been in the P+ top 10 over some heavy hitters like Big Brother, Star Trek, Everybody Loves Raymond, SpongeBob and NCIS. If I was bananas agent I would be asking for a large appearance fee next season.

Watching now.

Great challenge. The physical ones are always the best.

Cory championing for Nelson out in the open fricking sucks for everyone else. And he should not have been made captain because of that. But I guess everybody has their #1s though. I suspect there will be mutinies forthcoming though.

Izzy in that thong at the pool. Good Lord.

What's the deal with Cory? Is he with one of his babymamas or not? He says he's vibing with Izzy but "we'll see if I have a home to go back to" or whatever. So I assume he at the very least lives with one of them? Shocker that he can't keep it in his pants.

Anna Leigh and Leo are either gonna frick or already have. Sucks for her husband.

Lete is a virgin? That seems almost impossible. My theory is that John is literally only interested in her because of that.

Holy shite, Sydney is annoying as frick. I think she's a good addition to the show but man she is a fricking arrogant cunt. She's always been cocky, but it seems like she stepped that shite up to 100 this season for whatever reason. And maybe I am crazy but I think Deb is hotter than Sydney is anyway.

I get what Nelson is trying to do for Cory, but that's a fricking grown arse man who can do whatever he wants to do. Take that shite up with Cory. Don't go after Izzy like she's in the wrong. That's some bogus arse shite.

Sucks for Sydney about her knee, but at least we don't have to put up with her dumb shite anymore this season.

Cory is riding for Nelson, but choose Keanu? That doesn't seem like a good strategy. Seems like Leo would tire out way faster with that heavy arse rope than Keanu. Is the idea that they think Keanu will not have stamina and is bigger so he won't fit through the sphere as easily? Seems like the wrong choice if you're trying to save Nelson.

Good for Nelson for pulling that shite off. That's gotta feel good, especially for someone who lost a leg.

Keanu is a bit much at times, but he seems like a pretty good dude. And he's one of those beast kind of dudes that the challenge needs. I'm sure he'll be back.

you know it would be one thing to overstep as a friend like this off camera. Maybe you feel like the dude can't control himself and you have to step in but uhhhh on camera? It doesn't really help corey when your wife can say "you were so over the line your friend had to pull a massive cock block to keep you from fricking her"

wondering if it was going to be keanu regardless of the elimination. Nelson didn't actually pick keanu, cory just said he'd pick the best person for him and unless it was hall brawl, he could justify the pick being keanu. So the other guys were on board because someone had to go down and better him than them. Still dumb for cory to put it out there he's looking out for nelson over his team

Didn't even think about that, but you're right...that actually does make it look even worse to his lady back home.

I also love how Cory calls his ex from the show as well to chat. That dude is a relationship mess and always has been.

Michele with quote of the episode - I think bananas called it the bermuda triangle.
This is why bananas is the goat. He's more knowledgeable about this whole game than everyone combined. He studies it. Who would have thought Phil Jacksons offense would win a challenge for them. Will with the vince carter dunks.

To be fair they only won because the other two teams stopped their strategy of working together. And it doesn't take a genius to realize that playing keep away until you get an open shot to the goal is the right strategy. You can't just bulldoze over people the whole time and win.
quote:

OMG noooooo. I was worried about someone getting injured in this. WTF deb that backwards tackle with your leg wrapped around her leg. That's what an un athletic person does.

I don't get the hate for what she did. She just jumped on Sydney and tackled her like literally everyone else was doing. It's just an unfortunate accident.
quote:

This is not the cassidy I remember on USA 2.

I still have no idea who she is, and I think this was the second time I have seen her on camera this entire season, and it was for about 1.5 seconds.
quote:

Lete is a virgin. Didn't see that one coming. She does look awkward in those situations which is strange. Bananas is about to take her cherry. Lete is falling fast for bananas.

I have to imagine she give outstanding BJs if she's a virgin and actually semi-famous from the WWE shite. Or maybe she's one of those "the butt doesn't count" kind of chicks.

Yeah. I was just mad in the moment because Sydney is my favorite rookie from last year. Most people just ran and tackled and not jumped on someone's back like a horse collar. I just wish deb would have tackled her or pushed her down not jump on her back and wrap her leg around her. Injuries are a thing of the challenge so you can't do anything about it. Zero chance syndey is back for 43. ACL injury takes about 8 to 12 months just to get back. Look at Derrick how bad he was on 41 after his acl surgery.

Not sure why her edit is just not showing her on this season. She was the fan favorite on USA 2. Maybe that means she makes it far and they will show her on the later episodes. I wanna say she was the runner up on her season of survivor.

Did Bluegrass Belle know Lete was a virgin? She's 30 years old. Yeah she def had to be the queen of BJ's

Tomorrow's teaser looks like a solid episode. Love some heights over water challenges. More anna leigh and Leo drama. At least she's not running from it like America did on season 41. She's still promoting the show and posting about it.

Wonder if her husbands gonna go to the reunion and confront Leo




proof that Deb was the only one reckless jumping on people's back doing the horse collar
She just couldn't take down a grown man like she did Sydney.

Interview with TJ and EP Justin Booth


Without spoiling what’s ahead, both men are teasing more to come. Lavin points to a franchise staple as the moment worth circling. “Every season has a mini final, and this one is no exception. If I were a viewer, that’s something I’d be looking forward to,” he says. He’s cagier about the rest, but not by much. “I have a really good feeling about this season because everything that’s happened couldn't have been produced. It was so good, but it wasn’t. I have a feeling that we are gonna have some heated rivalries in the future,” he says.

Maybe a preview to next season. Rivals IV?

Starting Episode 6


I really hate this color grading filter this season. I have a brand new TV and it the scenery in Thailand doesn't do it justice. It's like a strange filter on snapchat. I heard they did it to save money. Now that the viewership is thru the roof they need to go back to the normal shite like on season 40. Treat this 28 year old show with some damn respect.


Cara Maria needs to man up and stop making excuses. Blue team might be the most disorganized team ever on the challenge.

This challenge is kind of like the Squid games glass challenge. Tori looks so good this season. She lost some weight. This is a hard challenge. Seems much easier watching from the sofa.

Leo did the LSU griddy when he crossed. CT is so fat he might pull the whole contraption to the ground. Grey just kicked everyone's arse. Justin took a Leroy fall

6 episodes and still haven't seen Cassidy yet. It's about time to cut some dead weight on team orange.

I'm loving the house scenes this season. Feels like OG challenge days when it was just about T-mobile sidekicks and getting drunk and on vacation. Will and Deb are great for this show

Lol at the bar scenes. They would have never ordered food from season 1-28
I take back what I said just now.
Looks like its Izzy vs Deb. Izzy is one of the hottest girls on this show. Tori wasn't on the season with izzy so I could see her putting in izzy even if it's her 2nd season. I wonder if Nelson wasn't on this season would cory have hooked up with her.

Gay Justin starting some shite. Anna Leigh is going all out on the challenge
I think Lete is jealous and needs to get laid. Anna leigh is not innocent in all of this but this is what a good edit does on a tv show
This is why alcohol needs to be more prevalent on the challenge

Man I want izzy and anna leigh to sit on my face in front of superior
CT looking like he's on Guy's grocery games instead of the challenge is starting to make me shake with anger. It's not funny anymore.

Ive been talking shite on Cara Maria but what was Josh thinking asking Cara how many eliminations have you been in

We have all met girls like Anna Leigh where they want attention and will do anything in the moment and take away that there were cameras there. This new generation of girls just have a crazy fake self confidence from social media that has led her to this point and i feel like the challenge gave her a wake up call. I truly believe nothing happened. Yet its great for the challenge.

DEB vs Cara Maria :lol:

I've got $1000 on cara before it starts. We need more physical challenges. We walked shite on Cara but she wins again when it matters.

I can't argue with this. If you look at her social media now it had video's a year ago saying part 1 of getting on the challenge. part 2 and part 3

If my wife was more worried about getting on the challenge than having kids with me instead of watching the challenge on our beautiful patio with our family and kids. You know she's more worried about fame than wanting to breathe. She's been married for 10 years. With that said I don't think anything happened especially what a black guy on the challenge

Looks like we at the mini final. Halfway thru season 42.

Someone needs to have sex with Izzy. 2 seasons in a row and the guys have come so close.
