re: The Challenge Season 36: Double Agents (Premieres 12/9)

CT’s reaction made no sense though. It was something you would expect from a rookie, not a seasoned vet. CT is too smart when it comes to gameplay to do something like that.

---

probably because that was his one shot this season, he knows Cam has numbers so their team won't get thrown in, he's basically shoe-in for the final, and he hasn't had a shot at the final with the winnings being a million dollars. Last time CT won, he got $250k. His prior win he got $100k. That's a pretty substantial difference IMO. I think it also might be his last challenge, just like Leroy

Ahhh... The old psycho piece of shite CT is still around.

How the hell did he go from morally debating himself after the elimination to blasting Big T and singing his undying love for Kam, then trying to "apologize" and then turning it into a "you suck Big T, my son needs $1 million" guy?

That whole episode was semi - reminiscent of the old Wes 4 hour berating from Rivals. He must have gotten good hands on some cocaine and Jack before he went to make amends with Big T? Crazy. He's now a huge enemy in the house, but everybody is so scared to go against him in eliminations, he'll probably get by fine.

Sucks Nam is gone. Seemed like one of the more decent people every to be on the challenge. Hope he comes back and gets a decent partner.

And why the hell is Aneesa crying next episode and taking about how she's done so many seasons and never won? Yeah.. You suck. And it's not like she's never had her chances. She 's gotten to two Finals and finished dead last in both... And those were old school easy finals where you basically ran on the beach for a bit and then went up a hill. And that was when she was actually halfway in shape and still young.

Everybody knows that BB is going to rig the final male Elimination to get Fessy a new partner. My guess is they go after Kyle. He's so screwed now.

CT didn’t even listen to Big T. She was a little upset that he picked Kam but 95 percent of it was bc he was so excited. She was basically saying “I know Kam is better than me and I get why you made the move, but I thought we were friends. Real friends wouldn’t act like getting to ditch me is the best thing that’s happened to you since the birth of your kid.”
But CT had a pre-prepared pep talk for her.

---

Yeah, honestly T came off really well in that whole situation. She took it about as well as anybody could.

CT should've just been like "Yup, you're right. I fricked up and overreacted and I'm sorry for making you feel stupid." And that would've been the end of it. He even could've said that now he's on a strong team he can try to help T get a skull too. But instead he went with the pep talk, all while also telling her how terrible she is.

T even said "I knew you were gonna change partners, I get it. But you could've just said "We had a good run, but I'm gonna go with Kam." And she's 100% right.

I do think there is some merit to what someone said about how maybe CT was sort of sucking up to Kam a little bit to try his best to smooth things over with her for not choosing her to begin with. That makes some sense too.

I always loved the "I need the money more than you" angles. One of the best was when Lolo was doing it on CvS and touting her charity as much more deserving of the winnings than everybody else's charities. That was great.

I will be very upset if she manages to win. I don't think she has a shot in hell, and although she's done well in eliminations in the past, she's kinda lucky that the season has played out like it has and she hasn't had to go in and defend her skull. I mean shite, it's this late and there is STILL one skull left for the girls.

Yeah it's gonna have to be somebody, and it may end up being Kyle. I assume he will play the "I'm a layup" card at some point.

But how great would it be if somehow T managed to get a skull, and then BB pulls their move before the final, and CT gets stuck back with T?

quote:

---

He 100% should have asked for Fessy. Fessy was an easier opponent plus the best way to screw the guy who voted you in is to not give him a shot.

---

Agreed, although I'm glad Darrell has his skull. But Fessy would've been a great choice, and allowed him to frick the BB alliance.

I love that CT basically solved the puzzle before Josh even hit the ground.

In the end, he got the goof, and we all knew why he wanted Josh in the first place.

Josh got lucky as hell to win his first elimination.

Big T can say friends dont do that to one another all she wants, but all you have to do is watch the way she looks at CT to know she has more than a crush on him. She probably had their partnership built up in her brain that it was some sort of romance deal. Once he traded for Kam it all came crashing down on her.

I think CT should've picked Kaycee instead of Kam. Part of it is that I can't stand Kam though.

---

I'm very surprised that Darrell didn't take Kaycee.

I think CT was blinded by regret from turning done Kam week one.

Kaycee was/is obviously the better option and the best option of any female by a mile.

I don't think Kam can run. She seems like a very heavy-legged runner to me. She's powerful in elims because of this, but I think Kaycee would run laps around her in a final.

Since CT is so good at puzzles and basically every other aspect of the game, all he really needs is a decently strong girl who can carry her own weight and won't burn out and quit. And Kaycee is that.

I think he also probably didn't want to get neck deep in the BB alliance so he avoided Kaycee and picked Kam. Either way, I just don't see anyone messing with that team before the final. They're both too good in eliminations for anybody to take a chance with them this deep in the game.

It’s almost like it was staged. Like production told him to overreact like a giddy kid in front of everyone so it would cause some drama

---

Agree. CTs reaction was not normal in anyway. Something more is going on, I assume production is involved or he is getting paid more for any potential drama he can add.

You have to figure this season will end with at least 1 girl and guy not getting an attempt at a gold skull given how much importance TJ has put on going into an elimination. I would be very disappointed if every person got a shot at one but I guess with all of the DQs/people leaving it could happen.
