re: The Challenge: Vendettas starting January 2 and Champs vs Stars 3

Gosh dang Natalie is a smoke show

Devin's read on Natalie was spot on.

Damn. They taking out all the black chicks

Kam is one of those that regardless of her strength in the game, she will make a lot of noise if you call her out for no reason like Natalie did. She also just made herself probably target number 1 on most other girls list.

She's hotter than all the others, she's a top level physical competitor, and she has aligned herself with John, which most in the house probably see as a not so low key strategy move.

She's not only intimidating to the other girls for all the above mentioned reason, but she does have this whole "oh I'm naive and innocent" facade about her that Devin rightly saw right through. She's clearly intelligent, but probably not as much as she thinks she is.

When she got all dressed up for the Troika, she was making a statement and a show of power. John knew he is fricked if he keeps going in there because he's going to ruffle too many feathers. That's why he seemingly just sat back and let the other 2 do all the talking.

Btw, Natalie rounding up Veronica and Kaylah felt very "big brother" or "survivor" -like....you see deals done on he Challenge, but not that way. She's got John protecting her, but she could flame out pretty quickly if 2 out of the 3 troika members were ever girls....but honestly, I don't see that happening as the dudes are going usually going to all hold the fastet times on events,

Cory isn't any better than Tony is at challenges. I can't stand Nicole and it'll be funny if Bananas game gets messed up by him being into that new girl.

Anybody else feel like since the Troika is the top 3 performers regardless of gender, that there will be a whole lot of males making the decisions on which girls go?

Unless the challenge is puzzle or something like that, the guys will just dominate this game.

Also, it kind of sucks that you have to use the grenade right away. If you win a male elimination, you can only use the grenade to hurt the women competitors or take money. Doesn't seem like a reason to add time to a guy's time unless you just don't want him in the troika, but then why would you care since you'll be safe anyway?

yup, which is stupid.

I honestly believe the troika should have been top 2 of the gender in elimination and the top of the opposite. It would have set more of an edge

They will do some puzzle/trivia ones and the girls will do well on those.

Maybe a male/female alliance will use it to benefit their team? I could see Bananas getting Natalie to do his dirty work and use a grenade against one of his vendettas.

This seems like the logical outcome... I could see some using the third advantage, and sending themselves straight into the Troika and someone from another alliance straight into the inquisition. Then all they need is one more ally on the Troika and they can determine someone's fate.

At least until they are all combined.



Also, LOfrickingL at Nelson and Cory on that soccer elimination. I admit it would have been tough to sneak any past the goalie from that distance, but they weren't even coming close other than Cory's first attempt that was easily blocked. It seems like they set that one up for the British dudes, but none of them were in... should have kept it in the back pocket.

Psycho-old man-divorcee-HGH Brad is my favorite addition to this show in a long, long time. It's almost like old school CT, but not as intimidating and not as willing to fight. He has this commune, hippie vibe mixed with methed up biker...it's a fricking thing of beauty to see.

I mean what doesn't scream sane, stable, and under control like this???

The house interaction in the show this year is off the charts. And seriously, Nicole should be arrested for harassing these straight girls...it's seriously creepy, yet insane how she does it...I don't know whether or not to applaud her or arrest her...
