It looks like the winner will not be based on cumulative time, but who finishes the last leg first which I hate.

I don't. I kind of figured the UK team would have a very clear advantage at one point. The extra weight on that gurney is ridiculous. That's bullshite to give the Americans no shot at all and to not reset it. It's fine that Team UK has an advantage, but don't keep trying to make 5 on 7 fair and failing. They should have extended the walk to 24 miles and done 10 pounds/person or something like that. They overcorrected and penalized the Americans just for having females as well.

Also, Paulie got stuck with Ninja and his dumb arse started trying to carry the back half of the bamboo by himself with most of the weight leaning his way because of the height difference between Leroy and him. He did push too hard too fast like an idiot though.

Cara is being a little baby. Can't believe I actually like Ashley way more than her now. Ashley won a mill, and she's out there eating bugs first like a champ and just doing the damn thing. She definitely feels way higher up in the female hierarchy this season than she has in years past.

For as much shite as CT gets for being out of shape now, he beasts these endurance challenges. He’s definitely channeling his “its time to go in from the beach and my family has 200 lbs of toys and shite down here but I’m still getting it all in one trip” dad strength.

They should have had an equalizer where there was an advantage to having more players. One year they had to dig out a chest and with more players it was much easier for one team. Something like that.

Team US got rid of Wes, Johnny and Jordan so their only Alpha left was Paulie. I can't imagine Johnny Wes or Jordan letting Zach walk while Paulie gasses out and costs the team the final. The problem is they got rid of all their leaders. They did a form of this challenge earlier in the season so they should have known it's a waste to have ninja help carry.

They punish the team with more finalists who have won 10 of 13 daily challenges by making them carry 75 percent more weight. What the hell kind of reasoning is that?

---

so dumb. easier and better punishment is that everyone has to carry at some point, or everyone has to carry twice. or whatever.

there are enough punishments that already come with having more people. everyone has to eat (or make their shot), everyone has to solve their "math" problem, etc...

adding the weight is so stupid and should not be one of the things that hurts them. and i'm 100% cheering for the "brits"

Finally getting a chance to watch this.

Man, Spirit in the Sky is such a great song.

Something tells me that the “don’t mess with the others team’s gurney” is gonna come into play at some point.

I love how everybody is freaking the frick out over VERY simple math problems.

Cara losing her shite over addition and subtraction is amazing.

Did the US just switch out people? I didn’t think you could do that.

Aaaaaaand there it is. CT just got his team a penalty I bet. I wonder if Paulie will get a penalty for continuously blocking the UK.

I can’t stand Ashley but she’s doing pretty well so far. And I love that she keeps bitching at Cara for being a pussy at every step of the way.

That grub worm is pretty gross though, I’m not gonna lie.

There’s CT’s penalty. So stupid. But US is also carrying their bags which I thought was illegal as well. Guess we’ll see.

Just thinking, weirdly enough, I think if Theo was still around he would make carrying that gurney a lot more difficult for the U.K. since he’s so tall.

Paulie shutting down is so pleasing to watch. He’s all talk. And what’s even greater is that he’s gassing out because he’s overexerting himself to carry these weak arse girls to the final. It’s great that Zach is going at them all about booting strong players.

I can’t wait to see what Jordan, John, Wes, and that ilk have to say about Paulie.

I just hope they didn’t edit things to make it look like U.K. easily wins this thing. And I hope they don’t make things way too even to start the next leg of the final.

I was trying to analyze whose screams this were in the final preview clip when TJ said they won.

It kind of sounded like Dee, but it also kind of sounded like Kam and Ashley...just couldn't tell. Sounded like one deeper voices girl and one higher pitched.

Could have been edited in from any point this season.

I'd be surprised if they let Paulie continue medically.

I'm betting on either Dee or Rogan getting the cut from the "UK" team... no clue how it's going to go for USA.

I agree, the remaining 4 members of "Team UK" will probably pull out a victory... would be funny if Rogan is the cut and they end up winning without a single Brit on the team.

This entire setup is bullshite. Team USA cheats multiple times, gets same penalty as UK for CT bodying through them blocking path. Team USA still finishes like 30+ min behind in stage one. The reward is a 5 min head start in phase 2. They have also jumped the shark with puzzles that most of them figure out by blind luck. They have been far too important in the final
