I don’t think that’ll happen this year because the nominated teams pick their opponents. Bear/Davonne, Gus/Jenna, and Josh/Amanda are all clear targets for anyone who gets tossed in to the elimination.

You would think. But everyone who gets thrown in keeps picking reasonably decent teams to go up against.

Everyone thinks they are the best and nobody is realistic about who they can beat in an elimination. Johnny was the worst by calling out Zach. Calling out CT was dumb too and they both got sent home.

They end up making it right up to the end and then the last challenge is basically meaningless because whichever good team has to go against them just smokes them.

It’s a dumb strategy too IMO if you’re a good but not elite team to not put those guys in because you are giving an elite team a layup whenever they slip up



The strategy in the game is survival -- whatever gets my team to next week, especially now with so many good teams, and let the chips fall where they may near the end.

But amazingly some of the saviest vets ever have played so monumentally stupid this year, especially When you have one of the very few layups week after week sitting there for the taking.

I guess they all think they're going to save the weak teams for the end like old days, but once you're already in the elimination, that shite should go out the window...its about winning now.

That's why CT was so pissed at JP for doing what he did. He not only lost himself but took a stronger team down with him, leaving the rest of the survivors an easier path.

It's like the vets have forgotten how to play without emotion, especially John.

I thought both Kyle and Bear/Davonne picked good opponents.

If Bear picks Wes, he would be making a huge mistake though.

I honestly think it’s staged.

Like they paid the vets a large appearance fee knowing they’d only be there a few days just to get viewers tuned and to hopefully realize these new Brits are worth watching going forward.

There really isn’t any explanation for the way John reacted and Zach not calling out Amanda.

Didn’t John have a new show to prepare for? He probably couldn’t commit for the whole taping.

I don’t think these morons could keep a conspiracy like that quiet for more than five minutes.

I normally don’t buy into these conspiracies but I kind of believe this one...

I mean Bananas calling Zach made 0 sense for him, he’s all about strategy plus he and Zach never really has a fight. The whole reasoning was a split second decision Zach made in a Challenge? That’s enough for Bananas to bail on his biggest ally, completely change the strategy he’s had forever, and call out a good team?

I don’t know if he intentionally lost but I’d believe that he intentionally gave himself a good chance to lose so he could go home early.

Zach not calling out Amanda is almost as surprising, she has been such a bitch to him and ruined his game last season. She’s even talked shite about him being a masoginist...

I think the CT thing was just shite luck, I also don’t think CT cares much about these anymore

That is spot on. You use to have to earn your stripes and prove yourselves.

Sadly, that hasn’t been that way for a few seasons

The UK teams are definitely going to be all that’s left in the end. Too many of the vets have the emotional maturity of middle schoolers. Honestly this season has made me side with Amanda over Zack. Both he and Jenna seem like terribly miserable people all around. I am on team Turbo.

The way he was fricking fawning all over amanda was incredible. I love Turbo. He said it great, just what an embarrassing elimination. They had it won by a landslide.

I'm also completely and totally sick of Natalie. She just irks me every time she gets on there with her zero personality and her crooked arse face.

I actually was rooting for bear this time to take them out.

Looks like Wes may be screwed next week. Can't belive he has a partner that can't swim. Seriously, how do you come a challenge unable to fricking swim. Unbelievable. I hope Wes doesn't go home.

That moment in the bed where Josh is trying to get with Amanda was the most uncomfortable I'd been watching this show since coming back to in the last few years. That was cringey.

I've been watching since the days of Jonny fricking Moseley (the first time around) and that scene was by far the weirdest, creepiest, strangest, thing on the show mybe ever, but definitely since drunk Laurel being a hateful awful evil devil bitch in the hot tub that time.

Josh is just a very very weird guy.

For going up against the worst team left in the house, Kam and Ashley did very poorly.

I’m very curious to see who goes in the next elimination. Everyone is scared of Paulie and Turbo, and the numbers are in place for the Brits to vote one of them (or Wes) if they can get two of the Troika spots.

Gus/Jenna and Kyle/Mattie have to be the two targeted teams. It’s been a strong season and I’m glad ratings have been really good without CT and Bananas.

I can't wait for Georgia to see how bad she's getting played by that a-hole Bear on national TV


Yeah I wish I could see her reactions to the episodes. Her own fault though. She basically said at the beginning of the season POS guys like Bear are her kind of man. Women like her deserve guys like Bear.

By the way, I’m still not seeeing this UK thing. They aren’t making any important decisions in this game. Bear’s own partner voted for the team Wes picked, even though Wes is openly targeting Bear and sent them in the week before.

The week before that, it was Cara who targeted Zach, then Wes sent him and his UK partner home. The only thing they are doing is not going against themselves in eliminations. That’s it. Hell this week they wanted Paulie and gone, and couldn’t manage getting him into elimination.

This last episode was the first hint at them actually trying to plan something, which as I said, didn’t even work.

He had great strategy to start off. He just lacked the strength to pull off the last couple of moves. Even then, if his partner wasn’t one of the skinniest girls in the house, they would have won.

And Josh generally sucks.

It was a challenge that favored taller thinner people. Josh has long arms and legs. Amanda was basically along for the ride.

Ashley is short and stocky as shite.
