re: MTV's THE CHALLENGE 42

I'm glad old man Bananas beat Cedric, he looks like a shitty ripoff of Paulie from Jersey Shore.

Because he wasn't hitting the buttons hard enough and he was shook competing against the GOAT.

Orange should've made Bananas the next captain since they already know about the "twist" of the winning team's captain deciding how (or if) the money gets split at the end. Because you know damn well if his team wins and he's captain he's 99% taking all the money for himself.

Right off the bat you can tell its no longer on MTV with the cursing and bananas quote " I will try and find the best possible way to frick my team over no lube"

Thailand is gorgeous. I love the beginning just dropping them off in the streets to run to see who gets to pick teams. Can you imagine the locals looking around trying to figure out what is going on.

Surprised CT didn't stop at a buffet. My god he looks fat in the beginning shot. He doesn't look bad in his interviews though.

Man they have some good looking women this season. Does anyone else notice the weird filter they use the last couple seasons? Its like blueish orange. I wish they just had a clear camera edit to showcase the colors. It's trying to do hollywood movie background

WOW. Just like that MVP of 41 comes out first. Sydney She's even better looking than last season

anna leigh is the prettiest girl next door ever on the challenge. Izzy is still smoking hot and a great runner. Reily is hot but needs some rice and gravy. Adrienne looks much better than last season. Tori is always attractive. Deb not really and know nothing about her. She's the wildcard. I'm waiting for her to show me something. Nury's is so hot. Cassidy is a different hot.

I know me and Cocomo talked shite on justin last season but IMO he has earned his stripes to be on this show in this limited 2 seasons. He made top 3 to pick teams.

Never knew who chris was until I just watched Challenge USA 2. Probably the most impressive season of a non flagship challenge season.

Always look forward to bananas challenge speeches at the beginning. So good to see Nelly T back. In typical nelly fashion that goober drops and cracks the glass bottle.

Crazy that some NFL player was the one who pulled Nelly T out of his vehicle when it caught fire at 3am. Such a wild story and probably the craziest one in challenge cast history.

Cedric is the wild card. He played such a good but shady game last season. That would work on big brother or survivor but not the challenge.

Picking each other's team is so good. Better than original cutthroat when the last 3 picked teams

Deb "I dont know what I'm doing here" She could be the next America but crazier and more fun

They are fricking anna leigh team
This is how orange team was so stacked. frick Brad got stuck on the bad team.

My only one complaint from episode 1 is I wish there were more people. Preferably 28. 24 seems not enough for 3 teams. I reckon moving to a new home had them worried and a smaller budget. After the record breaking viewership I think the budget and confidence in this franchise will be higher than ever.

Orange team disappointing me in the first challenge That first challenge was incredibly hard

My god I love this fricking show.

I will be furious if bananas goes in. CT with all due respect skates thru every season and goes to the final. Bananas since season 13 has been the target from day 1.

I can't believe we have a CT and bananas fight episode 1. i thought they reconciled. Boston mumble scumbag :lol:

OMG. frick you Michele. Unbelievable.
Wow my girl sydney screwed bananas. Was not expecting that. When you're are the goat. Everyone wants to bring you down.

2 seasons in a row bananas has been sent into elimination within the first 3 episodes. FINISH HIM BANANAS. BECOME THE MAN YOU WERE BORN TO BE

Bananas destroyed cedric. LFG

frick.I wanted bananas to beat this former gen z marine assbut Then when he broke down because he loves the challenge as much as we do. I broke down with him.

I will have anyone back that loves the challenge as much as we do.

TJ, what the frick did you do to your face, bruh?

I didn't notice anything with his face ?

Fat CT. I did not expect that after how disappointed in himself he seemed last season.

CT needs adrienne GLP-1 ASAP

Which, by the way, this season is missing Jordan badly. He would be a great addition to this cast.

Jordan posted that he wants back on 43. He's been working out to get back into shape

How big is Lete? In the promo they keep showing at every commercial it looks like she is a foot and a half taller than whoever she’s talking to.

Bluegrassbelle in this thread said she met her IRL a bunch of times. She's about 6 foot 1

I’m actually surprised Michelle chose John.

this. CT loses that elimination to Cedric IMO

quote:

In the “this season” promo, CT straight up shoves some chick into the mud.

---

that had me rolling. Miss the good ole days when the guys in girls competed against each other in physical challenges

I thought CT made a vow to come back in shape...

but maybe he's just at that point where he knows he's unlikely to win a final anymore and is perfectly fine showing up for a few weeks, collecting his likely high appearance fee, and moving on.

This crew of vets might be better off heading to the all star format soon. Most look kind of washed

Episode 3 preview on paramount + August 12th. Only episode 1 will air on MTV.

This feels like old school Challenge. Drama at the house and less on the challenges.
Adrienne looks to be hooking up with Josh and gets drunk catches Nury's sliding in and trying to hook up with Josh. Cat fight.

It's stayed in the Top 10 all week against powerhouse shows. Ready to hear for the renewal.

Didn't know I was already two episodes behind. frick. Gonna try to knock these out at work.

Lete in that bikini. Damn.

Choosing to so blatantly cheat was stupid as frick. Of course Michelle seemed like it was her idea. The questions were easy and should've been easy to figure out anyway.

Deb in that orange bikini. Damn.

So Lete was in the WWE. That makes sense since she seems to big/tall.

I'm not sure why, but I'm not a fan of the cursing in this format. It just makes it feel like not the Challenge I think.

Once again, the teams are too small. They are choosing two out of three girls. That's stupid and takes away half of the drama that is normally on the show.

That was a nice elimination. Good for Deb.


Episode 2:

I mean, Lete is the same height as Brad. Maybe even taller actually.

This challenge is dumb and easy as frick. They need to actually physically compete directly against the other teams. These challenges where they are essentially competing separately are stupid. And it isn't a slide puzzle really...there are six pieces to switch sides with plenty of room to move.

I don't know why but I can't stand Keanu.

Michelle in that dark bikini. Damn. She put on weight in a good way.

Adrienne: "I usually wouldn't get mad about my man sitting with another woman..." Bull fricking shite.

Josh, this is a gigantic red flag. Leave Adrienne in the fricking dust, bruh. not to mention that Nurys is a top-tier Challenge female ever. And Adrienne has fricked up her face with surgeries and injections. And her accent annoys me (and I normally like accents).

Josh: "I hang out with you because I genuinely frick with you as a person." A true Romeo and wordsmith...

Nurys: "Why would I date someone shorter than me." Well just crush me, why don't you.

Cassidy. This is the first time I think I've seen her on camera.

Nurys, do you want Josh or not? I can't really tell since you've only said it five different times now.

Keanu says he's more athletic than Brad. Interesting stance. I know he played football, but Brad is legit.

Brad, you didn't know there were buttons? Were you listening at all to TJ?

I like this elimination.

Disappointed that Brad is climbing slower than Keanu. In a hands game Keanu has an advantage, but climbing is climbing and he should at least be able to get a half step on him or something.

Not a big fan of Chris.

I like Brad, man. He's come a long way since getting his arse kicked by Darrell.

Cara's plan is to "brainstorm with Nelson." Girl, that's a losing battle before you even start because Nelson is dumb as frick.

I do agree with Anna Leigh that Cara shouldn't have been chosen as captain again. She was AWFUL last time. And AL actually seems kinda good at stuff. It sucks that she is good but is in a bad position on a shite team.

Same, but Backpack bitching about "always getting sent in early" was bullshite.

He coasted for years to mid-game because of vet politics.

I think you're thinking of CT. Bananas has for the most part been targeted from day 1 ever since his first season on the DUEL season 13. Even when he was with the JEK dynasty he would still get sent in and has to win elimination. He just wins dallies and protects himself so many times. That's why his run is so much more impressive than CT's IMO. I do love me some CT. Not fat CT but regular CT

starting episode 2


Keanu looks like a beast. His upper body strength could be a problem for the men.

The color grading is terrible this season. It needs to go back to season 40 with no filter. I bought this nice tv for a reason not to have a cheap filter with this beautiful Thailand background

On paper Deb seemed like a terrible pick for this show. Looking back I couldn't have been more wrong. She's is what an old school girl challenger was. Super un athletic and dumb as rocks that just wants to party and drink and hook up and doesn't take herself and this show serious. That's what we fricking have been needing. Props to casting for this one. She's is the front runner for MVP for the girls. DEB CHUB DEB CHUB

Corey needs to breed Izzy. With all due respect Nelson let corey have sex with Izzy we don't need you cockblocking

I always had cara maria back but she's been nothing but a disappointment to me since 40. Her acting like that was worse than darrell who actually does hate heights. I would be ecstatic to do this daily on top of the tallest building. She fricked over my boy brad.
My boy brad is about to knock nelson out
Become the brad from Real world San Diego

Reily is cute but she doesn't look like she was cut out for reality tv from the little I've seen of her. TJ laughing still is one of the best things on tv

Wait why was orange team DQ'd? what code ?

Anna Leigh is so hot and the girl next door. Without her fake bee sting lips she would be a OT 8.5 I didn't really like adrienne last season. I like her this season.

Lete seems to have pissed off a lot of the cast early on. Her boy is amazing. Her and Laurel going into hall brawl would be epic.

Damn Josh is a fan just like us. Wanting to go on for 10 years. Hate to say it but cara needs to man up and realize how lucky you're to be on this show and not take it for granted.

Bluegrass Belle girl Lete is gonna be force this season. Blue team sucks so bad. HAHA Johnny telling cara to nominate herself was awesome

I love the team aspect. It was much needed and not the changing of the team after each episode. Keep the same team to form a bond and have more storylines this way.

Reily going in is the smart choice. Reily vs Deb. This might be the most even matchup. Deb ball just rolled over

This reminds of casey back in season 12. Deb is wore out. This might not end well
This chick is taking a water break during the elimination.

Cassidy is on this season? I was so impressed with her after watching USA season 2 weeks ago.

OMG Deb just flashed the cameres on live tv
The challenge is fricking back.

I don't remember a season since 35 that was as good as this start
