Next season needs a real cast impulse... They should just do old school vs. New school or something and never have coed teams again...its a disaster, as shown by the helplessness of the chicks tonight.



Sadly, based off early indications, this won't be the case.

I find myself having Federer syndrome when it comes to John. Used to like him in the beginning, then he got too cocky and too powerful and it was almost too easy. Now he's in his twilight and has to work for things and is the underdog kind of, so I find myself rooting for him

Can we just get Cara and Amanda in a one on one single elimination that is purely physical.

Would love to see Cara shut that count up

Who does Hunter end up body slamming. Previews made it look like Zach, but he is now in jury and his nose injury came from the competition. Did I miss an episode or does the still fight happen?

It has to be Baton Rouge's Finest, Tony Raines. Tony and Johnny are the only guys left in the main house not apart of the LL or YBC.

There is no chance Hunter/Nelson/Cory are taking Joss/Sylvia over each other (and Joss would be a huge threat to them in a final anyway).



Johnny immediately pointed that out to them after that elimination but none of them paid any attention to it because they were all yelling that Johnny has no friends.

Say what you want about Bananas, but the dude has one of the best minds on the challenge. He certainly plays chess while the rest are playing checkers

But the scenes from next week showing Sylvia headbutt Marie


I hope they are consistent and send Sylvia home for that. They sent kailah home over a shove. Sylvia and Joss should be sent home as well

I’m confused as to the “Youngbuck” moniker ...

Nelson is 30

Do we know for sure that it was Hunter? I couldn't definitely tell who it was in the short clip they showed.



I always thought it was Kyle. It would make sense if he gets back in the house from redemption. It also looked kind of like drunken harmless stuff.

They just showed Zach after that scene to make us think it was him and something big.

When I saw it, I thought it was Hunter attacking Zach, but now it looks like they just showed Zach's broken nose from this elimination in a way to make the incident look more dramatic and to mess with the minds of viewers.

I have a theory based on nothing from spoilers (I haven't read any spoilers) that Sylvia and Joss are able to slide all the way to the finals by being a low profile team, thus escaping the ire of Bananas and Tony, while still being aligned with the Lavender Ladies. I can totally see Joss winning the whole thing like Landon did on FM2 and then keeping the money for himself since he isn't really involved in the Challenge world the way Cara Maria, Johnny, Devin, Zach, and the rest are. And that may explain why Amanda doesn't seem to like him anymore.

Actually that's what I hope happens since the remaining teams are generally hard to root for. The Lavender Ladies are annoying, the Young Bucks are idiots, Bananas is the worst, and I don't have any strong feeling about Tony. There is absolutely no way Marie can win anything.

The only people left in the house that I like are Devin, Joss, and Cara.

Watching this season has made me appreciate how long Bananas was able to place the fear of God into people. They really screwed up by not giving CT a real partner. It would have been fun to see CT, Johnny, Tony and whoever lined up together with their backs against the wall. If they’re able to knock off Bananas and Tony my invested interest in this season lies with Cara and Marie and a miracle for Brad. I’ll still finish it but this could have been really fun.

Sylvia should be kicked out for headbutting.

I know Zach was in survival mode and picked the weakest team for elimination, but he picked the jozea/dvonne which were siding with bananas and ultimately siding with him. He should have picked Shane/Nelson. Shane sucks arse but he is keeping the lavender ladies together.

Did y’all notice Zach had a faint black eye during interviews BEFORE the elimination?

All of the interviews are done post-production.

Idk if Amanda would have allowed that since Shane is a "lavender lady"

Zach obviously doesn't care what Amanda wants

Which is why they are in the redemption house right now.

I hate Amanda, her interview afterwards was so dumb, she said "I am proud of my decision, i stuck up for what is right and didnt budge, I hate Zach". He did the exact same thing.

But Zach had a point.

He said he has only 1 person in the game who he will never say their name, which is Tony. He wasn't going to intentionally throw in his one person because Amanda was having a fit and wouldnt budge.

On the other hand, Amamda had like 8 people she is "loyal" too. She should have been the one to relent in that situation. She was going to have to start going after her friends at some point

And again, Johnny was spot on. The lavender ladies or whatever the frick moniker they go by will soon have to start eating their own. Most of these players merely look at the now and not 2,3,4 moves ahead. The challenges don't stop if the only players left are the "ladies"


And it sucked that Zach went to elimination. There have been 9 challenges so far this season and he and Amanda had won like half of them.

And the nose break looked nasty. Under his right eye was swelling bad when they showed him right after they lost. I can't imagine that heals in time to do a physical challenge

This is all true.

True, but there's still no reason to cannibalize your alliance until you have to. Once that's all that's left, sure, someone is going to have to lose, but no point in making those moves until the time comes.
