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

Is this gonna be like dirty santa. You pick someone else’s partner and they get to keep picking until someone takes one of CT or Wes and then it’s done?

I love the new changes. Makes the game so much better.

I don't care what kind of replacements mtv tries to bring in, the majority of the OGs just make for better TV.

I agreee but 15 years ago, the cast/ show was college aged kids locked away in some exotic mansion with a ton of alcohol and very little rules. Now it's a million dollar competition. I like the last couple seasons, but I think this cast would be a lot more entertaining if they were put in the same situations years ago. The lack of real world/ road rules feeding people in hurt too. The newbies have agents and it's just not a wild as before. (Thanks Kenny, Evan, and Tonya)

Wes and CT going from two of the more belligerent confident alphas on the show to being two bitch betas graveling to not get voted in us so fricking depressing

This Natalie chick putting everyone on blast is hilarious and awesome.

Also how are these clowns not realizing that the there’s gotta be cameras in this deliberation room? Have they never been on reality shows ever?

How in the world was it not obvious to Fessy what elimination was going to be? I cant decide if he is just really dump or a huge pussy.

I think the Kam pickup by Kyle was very smart, but passing up Lolo could be a really big mistake. She is a lock to win the final of she makes it.

He clearly made the beat political move though. He instantly got entered into a huge alliance.

Lolo may not be a distance runner by trade, but put simply, she's in another league than everyone else athletically. She's also pretty slightly built from her hot tub look tonight, and she said she dieted down for the challenge because she knew endurance is the name of the game.

She also has the right mentality for anything physical. Also, just look at her competition. Who's going to beat her?

The best shot in a final, I'd say is Tori and Kaycee esily. Maybe Kam, but she's built pretty heavy. The Natalie chick is also way too thick. Nicole is a stone cold moron.

Who else...Nany? Fat load Aneesa? One of those random Brit chicks who look about as athletic as Shavonne from back in the day? I just don't see any way she loses outside of puzzle/mental game debacle.

The girls will probably realize this too late in the game though. She's also going to be an animal in eliminations. I remember on Champs vs Stars, she pretty much wiped the floor with everyone she faced.

Leroy was trying to act tough lol. I'm extremely sick of Kam but Kyle's move was smart. Fessy is starting to realize his alliance are punks like Leroy. What is the deal with the show trying to build up Nam? He's definitely in great shape but he's not huge like Fessy.

Yeah she’s solid, she did frick up last week by not stealing Cory or Nelson though. Kyle did the right thing. Although like someone else said, unless they start mixing up guy/girl elims it won’t really keep them safe. I wish TJ would have at least hinted at that even if it wasn’t true just to make them think twice.


MTV also really screwed up by putting that challenge this week where the group controlled the winner. Needed to be just a regular challenge where best team wins because that’s the only way a team like Wes/Natalie could have had a real shot to be safe and mix up the game by putting in a team from the alliance. They lucked out with Joe and Fess fumbling the week, but that would have been a really shitty way for the show to lose Wes because he would have gotten dragged in the elim imo. Almost like they don’t want Wes there, maybe Bananas really is a producer and fricking him in absentia


And yeah no clue why Fess didn’t take that skull there. Like Kyle said it was clearly a ring battle which always means getting hands on the opponent. I know it’s early and he was running the game so why take the risk but he would have easily beaten that dude and no one is ever going to try to steal his skull so why not just lock in the final run now. Now the whole game is flipped on him.


Btw has TJ said what will happen if they secret agent team is split on who to put in for elim? I assume they’ll have to go in so it likely won’t happen but just wondering if he actually said that’s the case. Could be interesting for when mixed alliance teams like Kyle/Kam start winning challenges.


If CT lets himself get kicked off because of fricking Josh I’ll lose a ton of respect for him


Has Darrell said more than like five words an episode yet?? Kind of weird.
