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 think they focused on amanda's threat to infiltrate if she goes in and missed the forrest for the trees.

At this point there are only three rookies left, all of whom are more respected than some of the vets, especially if Logan is healthy.
Emmanuel hasn’t been treated as a rookie for weeks.
Big T is definitely going to be targeted next time there is a girls’ elimination though so it won’t be too exciting. Next week for the guys could be good though, as I really don’t see who will be going in (and who they will pick as their opponent).

I think it depends on the daily winner, which is likely to be emerald due to numbers if the challenge is like the football moneybags one. If emerald wins then I think emerald's play would be to vote kyle in. knowing kyle wants to stay with CT... if kyle picks a ruby player emerald keeps their team intact. or if kyle picks emerald they at worst only lose 1 teammate instead of being infiltrated and shaking up 2/3 of their male spots.
if emerald doesnt win the daily one of them is being voted into the elim because the other teams have to see the numbers game developing. altho emerald may already have the vote numbers game solidified more than the other cells can coordinate votes. If emerald is voted in they will pick the weakest ruby male to beat hoping to win and keep their whole team intact.
emerald doesnt want to vote ruby in because ruby will surely try to infiltrate emerald. if sapphire wins the daily then we will see a ruby vs emerald elim. if emerald wins then we see kyle vs ruby. if ruby wins then its emerald vs ruby.

it feels like they havent been playing the strategy correct with this though. I wouldnt infiltrate a team that I just eliminated a player from. that puts you on a man down team and some challenges like this episodes brush contract is better with more numbers. altho saphire is stacked now they have 4 and emerald has 6. emerald cell now essentially controls who goes in unless the other 2 cells coordinate.
Producers will trip them up by making a challenge where numbers wont matter. Only as strong as your weakest link and Josh or Devin will be liabilities before long. Emerald is winning because of their strong girls.

If Emerald wins the smart move would be to take a shot at getting out CT. Take the head off the snake. Much better to take a gamble on a big move rather than let him dominate another final. Even if he wins in the elimination he likely takes out a physical presence like Cory or Nelson.
If Ruby or Saphire wins they should go for a move on Devin. He seems to be the brains of Emerald.

No shite. Just call them red, blue, and purple (or green or whatever).

i mean thats possible and yes i agree devin and josh are weaker players. although theyll only do that for maybe 1 daily challenge having the numbers will continue to be an advantage overall.

highly disagree due to format of the season, if another format when they dont pick an opponent and rearrange teams I might agree more. CT gets voted in and picks Josh/Devin for the elim, wins, and infiltrates. numbers advantage is gone, CT has stronger females to compete with, and has disrupted the biggest alliance. There is no good solution for the CT dilemma
safest bet is to just pray his female partner can't eat or something and risk winning less money in a final than getting sent home before the final and making an enemy of CT in future seasons. Voting in Kyle would give them a better chance to win an elim against which further handicaps sapphire/CT due to numbers. And if kyle wins he would probably stay with CT instead of infiltrating, or kyle picks a ruby player which further gives emerald better numbers. If emerald votes in a ruby I think they chose an emerald player which poses similar risks as chosing CT, but without giving CT so much power late in the game.

agree because it targets emerald which was my main point with the numbers game going on. the other teams have to see the numbers game developing.

Turns out Bettina found out she was 15 weeks pregnant when she got home and ended up getting an abortion. People on Reddit were freaking out and blaming production for not giving these girls pregnancy tests. I posted the question if production can force anyone to take a pregnancy test because of privacy/HIPPA laws or fire someone for being pregnant because of anti-discrimination laws. I was permanently banned. Unreal.

They could absolutely do both of those things, given the nature of the show.

no one was going to call out CT. hes friends with all the vets and will F you up. really surprised how much of a bitch he was being this ep tho.
how does josh have the politcal power he does? convinced people that cory was the vote because when he gets to a final he comes in last !! thats exactly who you want in a final with you lmao.
lmao amanda - cory does this exercise every day how does he suck at it.
we avoided going straight into team sabotaging for this upcoming week but it is going to happen soon unless theres another format twist.

I'm not sure when it changed, but I do miss the days when the opening credits showed the entire cast and their names. It's not important now, this late into the season, but would've been helpful early on since there were so many new faces.
I don't get why Cory is so offended or scared that people will be going after each other. The season is at least halfway over by now. You can't skate by anymore. And when they sent him to elimination earlier in the season, did he have to compete, or was it a girl elimination? I don't remember.
Man, Amanda is the worst type of competitor. She sucks.
Ashley saying CT is scared of elimination, she's full of shite. Firstly, nobody reacts worse to being nominated than Ashley. And CT isn't scared, he's just smart and knows it's best to stay out as long as possible.
Oh look, another deliberation where Nelson is apologizing to women for treating them like shite. Shocker. For such a "nice guy" character, he sure seems to treat women like shite a lot. It feels like he's had to apologize to females three or four times in the last challenge and a half.
Josh: "I'm this close to a final. Help me choose." Dude, there are still like 15+ people left...the final is weeks and weeks away. You aren't "close," although maybe this is the closest you've come?
Cory, maybe you got voted it because all you do is complain about how alone you are and how nobody has your back. "I don't want to sit around and bitch and complain." Since when? That's all you do. "Bro."
And then he proceeds to bitch and moan all over the place. What a bitch.
I really like Logan a lot. He doesn't seem to let things bother him too badly. And he's really good at shite.
Why are they still talking about this make believe "vet alliance"? Hasn't that been gone for weeks now?
Oh look. Logan dominated and Cory sucked dicks in the elimination. Shocker. Just like always, Cory is all talk. As usual. And Logan looks like he barely broke a sweat.
They still haven't created a challenge where numbers aren't an advantage. I hope that changes soon.

We are in a weird spot where the two weakest guys in the house are on the best team because they have three of the four best females. There are only two females who I would say are actually good, that’s it.
If I had to rank the guys it would be:
1. CT
2. Emmanuel
3. Kyle
4. Logan
5. Nelson
6. Devin
7. The Goof
The women
1. Tori
2. Kaycee
3. Ashley (terrible attitude)
4. Nany
5. Emy
Big T is terrible but nice. Amanda is a little better at performance but is a true cancer.

Yup. Agreed.
Although Devin has gotten much better in recent seasons at the physical stuff. And he's in better shape too. So he's just a solid competitor, even at physical stuff IMO. I'd say your rankings are spot on except that I'd switch Kyle and Logan, and honestly Logan could even be as high as 2 (not a slight to Emmanuel though, because he is very good as well).
Posted on 11/4/21 at 1:51 pm to CocomoLSU
In a finals situation I agree CT is number one, but disagree when its one on one. If Logan is fully healthy I would put him at number one. CT is great, but its obvious Logan is an elite athlete and appears to be much younger. Doubt he would be afraid of CT like the other guys seem to be. They ever go into an elimination and Logan would win fairly easily.
Kaycee is much better than Tori in my opinion. Physically they are about the same, but Kaycee has a much more even keel personality, while Tory has freaked out in some eliminations. Wasnt it just last season she lost to Aneesa because she panicked with the wheel barrow contraption? Kaycee has been always calm and cool in every situation. Plus I cant stand how fake Tori comes across every time she gets camera time. LOL
I still think the best move, for Emerald, would have been to take a shot at CT. They are winning because of the girls which is basically giving protection to the guys. So, at this point, who cares if he gets pissed you sent him in. You have to beat him eventually. Better challenge him now then in a final. He is so versatile and is strong in so many areas that he dominates finals because it is set up for a multitude of skills, while in an elimination you might get lucky and its something he isnt great at. Due to history, its a fair assumption you have to be on CT's team to win a final. At the same time, if he is on another team you lose to him. So if I am on Emerald and see we have a shield because our girls are so good, I say go for it. If he loses, then you dont have to deal with him anymore. If he wins, hopefully he trades places with the goof. Mpw, due to their own
shortsightedness, they have to deal with a team that has the two strongest males.
Hopefully the next challenge doesnt give an advantage to the team with the most players. Seeing Josh and Devin gloat every week is getting annoying. Especially because they are winning due to Kaycee and Tori.
Amanda is such a miserable person. Blows me away she is an RN. That type of job, which requires empathy and nurturing, just doesnt seem to fit her personality.

Disagree. Completely.
I'm not saying Logan couldn't beat CT, but certainly not "easily." And CT is in the best shape he's been in in years as well.

I think that was the one where she wasn't strong/heavy enough to knock the cage thing over to release the medicine balls (you had to pull it on a rope I think). But of course Aneesa just leans back on the rope and it tumbled right over. And IIRC, Tori did finally get it over and made a huge comeback, but Aneesa had such a lead that it was insurmountable.

Agreed. She seems like the type of person that would get annoyed at a patient because they need a new saline pack for their IV or something simple like that.
Is Amanda hot? They don't really show her body much on the show, but she's always in bed with the "hot" or strong dudes. I guess I mean that she seems desired by dudes on the show, but her personality is awful. And so I have to assume it's because of her looks, but we don't really see much on the show outside of how freckly she is.
Posted on 11/4/21 at 4:06 pm to CocomoLSU
She is physically attractive.
Her personality is so off-putting that I don’t know how anyone would even consider hooking up with her. If I was on the show, I would avoid anything besides perfunctory morning greetings and head nods.
