re: The challenge: Spies, lies, allies

Cory is awfully high on his horse and very arrogant and braggy for someone who hasn’t done much in a challenge.

Ed getting all this screen time must mean he’s leaving. That sucks, if true. I like Ed.

Cool time filler with all the phone calls home.

I love how they always think they’re gonna die from falling 15-20 feet into water.

Have they ever actually told us what Logan’s injury is, aside from “leg”? I assume it’s not serious otherwise they would forbid him from competing.

No chance Josh does well at this…

Yup. First jump and he’s gone. fricking idiot. And of course he’s talking about Kyle “shitting the bed” for his team.

I love how Logan says Kyle is stronger than Cory.

I’d make a deal with my cell that no matter who gets chosen, we don’t choose our cell teammates.

I know Kyle is good at this elimination but I feel like Ed has the advantage. That dude is pretty strong and he’s short and solid, which seems like advantages in pole wrestle.

I don’t get why people want to be on top for pole wrestle. Seems like the smart strategy is being on the bottom and waiting for the right time to go dead weight and flip over. There’s no way someone can hold onto that shite.

Nope. Kyle is a monster in eliminations, especially this one. I like Kyle so much.

I like Ed a lot too. He gets his “proper arse whooping” and went home not upset. Even though it wasn’t the smartest decision, I respect it.

Cory, you haven’t been waiting to be on Nelson’s team. Y’all had that chance initially and chose different teams for strategy.

500th episode next week. Wow.

Nelson going at Kyle next week too. That dude takes everything personally.

Amanda was on the front lines!!!! Hero!!!! Sorry I had to get that off my chest, how insufferable are these people.

I like how everyone was discussing who Ed would pick or should pick and CT’s name was never mentioned by any of them

nah. top is much better, you can use your legs as leverage much better. also you can press body weight down onto the bottom player which is additive with the force pulling the pole away and may kinda make it harder to breath/move for the opponent if you are on their chest. I think ive seen the dead weight flip move with less success in the past, its usually a last resort trick play type move by wes or someone when they are greatly outmatched.

So how does this work, does it just keep going until the defense rips the bag away from the offense? Thought it would end once on the ground but def seems like they let em keep going. I wonder if it’s time-dependent.

I gotta say, the original setup of this season was absolute SNOOZEVILLE, but I tell ya what, this new structure with teams and picking elimination opponent and then picking which team to go back to is an AWESOME change, def one of the best setups in a while.

Can someone explain how or why the hell someone like Bettina was ever even cast on this show?

She gave nothing to the show and was on basically one step above Shavone, who may be the worst female ever on the show.

I also love how Josh just realizes after the fact that giving CT a strong girl on his team is bad. That's a move that a vet like John would have absolutely seen through and tried to prevent because he knows CT is the threat... Not anyone else, in the final.

I'd still never want Ashley on my team, ever. She's one of the worst challenge teammates ever and doe snoring but bring panic and drama to teama during their most stressful times.

Bettina was eye candy like alot of the girls. Tori has grown on me, would bang

I love me some thick tori plus she has one of the most natural pretty faces on the show…wow Bettina’s rack will be missed.

Tori has been awesome for a while. She's one of the best looking girls on the show, and always seemed cool as hell. I was actually glad that she and Jordan ended up together, and then thought it sucked when they split up.

But:

Tori is too annoying with her fake enthusiasm every time TJ says something. Plus, she needs to lose about 20 lbs.

These are both true.


ETA: I am also looking forward to the new All Star Challenge. And I think I may actually check out the RW:Los Angeles reunion show as well. That was a great season of the show originally.
