For whatever reason they seem to have MUCH more luck with rookie guys than rookie girls.

Except Jozea, he sucks.

But yeah, Kyle, Joss, the other Big Brother dude seems alright... Devin a few seasons before... Nelson, Tony, and Corey before him.

There have been some duds like Ammo or Tony's brother or the other UK dude last season, but they seem to have a much better batting average than with rookie girls.

It's been two full episodes and they haven't had an elimination yet, or even a vote.

I do miss the old format of having a challenge and then vote/elimination every episode.

The last place teams in the first challenge were all eliminated, or actually sent to the redemption house.

And why do Brad and Kyle get lucky and get a second attempt at it?


Since it was highest score between the 2 rounds, I didn’t understand why Brad and Kyle didn’t just try and grab on to Bananas since that was the only real threat. They had 11 and no one was catching that except Bananas.

Might be making up time for Kailah and the blonde fighting leaving the show early. I’m ok with it so far but I’m ready for some action now

This is fricking rigged. Pauly has at least twice the resistance Kam Newton has

Or he just sucks. I like this armageddon concept. Should make for some good rivalries.

He can't physically stand. Kam's resistance is nothing.

so do we have a redemption house? It sort of cheapens the importance of eliminations but as long as only one couple can come back etc I guess it’s ok

Cara and Britni clearly aren't over their men. Its a bad look when women go crazy over a dick like that. Jenna is the same way.

Why are spending more than 10 seconds on the redemption house... Not only is the Brittni show beyond fake and atrocious acted... I hate everyone there except Jenna. They are also all complete scrubs but her.

That 5-10 minutes of their house threw off the entire rythym of a very very good episode.

Kam probably also has at least 2-3 inches in height on him as well

It was rigged.. He may be shitty, but he ain't that Shitty.

I counted, his bands were double what Kam had. She only had 2 bands while he had 4. He couldn't get within 10 feet of his cage while she had barely any tension while nearly inside hers.

Ever since the Cara Maria "single winner" bullshite they pulled last year by starting her and Zach on the puzzle at the same time, there has seemingly been concerted effort to prop up the female competitors.

By having nearly all co-ed teams, you frick up eliminations tremendously and frick over many strong competitors. Obviously all truly physical games are out cause they'll never have a dude absolutely Truck a female on national TV.

So now, it seems the male will have essentially a huge handicap. I don't get it, recently the girl vs girl elims were pretty good and then you had one if the best male elims ever last year with Joss vs. Derrick.


If they screw with the format too much and it's means screwing over fan favoeites, they are going piss off their loyal viewers.

Ever since the Quiz Show scandal there's been some law that says game shows can't be rigged. I wonder if that applies to The Challenge. Maybe they can around it since they film in other countries.

Of course they have to handicap the guys for physical events against the girls but that's just more reason why they shouldn't have teams like this.

Did anyone watch the fear factor show today? I didn’t record it and was wondering how the challengers did.

They would probably say it's not rigged and that they were just "accounting for physical differences" or some shite.

The foreign country thing might be an angle too, they can basically get away with murder on most of these shoots, plus the competitors essentially sign their life away in their waiver.
