That would make sense if we saw all of the footage, but everyone is selectively edited in this show. I’m surprised Leroy even came back after how they did him last time. I’m also kind of surprised they wanted him back considering what he said about them.

Wait, what happened with Leroy? There was some minor B plot with Kam but that guy has gotten as favorable an edit as anyone over his entire career.

They made him out to be Swimfan over Kam. He went on twitter and talked a bunch of shite about production for making him look like an obsessed loser and her a completely disinterested party when that was apparently far from the case.

Paraphrasing, he said that the entire storyline was created by selective editing.

Nah I mean I think she was annoyed with Nat jumping around and dancing so cocky when she saw the challenge thinking she had already won.


Right, but at that point, Ninja had no clue who she would be going against because the brits hadn’t made their choice yet. So how could Laurel take that personal?

That plus the fact that she literally called her out to go against her was why Laurel reacted the way she did.


I don’t think she knew about that because when Ninja told the brits that’s who she would like to go up against, no one else was there. Had Laurel been aware of that, I’m pretty sure during her shite talking after the elimination, she would have been very vocal about the fact that she was called out and would have talked shite directly to Ninja about calling her out. She never said a word about it

Pretty sure Dee would have told her what it was looking like.

And who cares if she knew who she was going against. She was literally clapping and jumping around like she had already won when she saw the event.

Anyone would have thrown that back in her face if they beat her.


Plus the clapping and glee was still going on when Laurel was standing next to her while TJ was explaining the event.

Didn’t Dee say she respected her wanting to go against the best when she voted?

And again I’m sure Georgia told Bear what went on in tribunal and he then told Laurel.

It’s not like these idiots are sworn to secrecy. They all live in the same house and talk nonstop.

Well that could have been edited too, but was the crotch shot and psycho reaction not vocal enough? Clearly she was rubbing it in for a variety of factors.



Who cares anyway?

Nat acted like a clown and got beat. Embarrassing.

Then Laurel acted like an even bigger idiot and was then slapped back by karma for breaking the rules. More embarrassing. Bananas and his crew eat shite made it even better.


It was glorious all the way around and as classic a Challenge moment as we’ve had in years imo.

I feel like, if nothing else on the show is selectively edited, this is.

They all know who is going in for the most part. Some exceptions, sure. But they knew it was Laurel that night.

I think when Tony voted Bananas in against Devin that was a complete surprise.

This may have been a surprise as well because Idris is so new to the game and generally a very quiet guy.

Also, interesting to note: Laurel says that Ninja was gloating about the elimination competition while they were on the bus. I’m assuming she meant the bus on the way out there, implying they knew the elimination before they left the house.

Agreed.

I think Wes may have been one of the exceptions last week, simply because it was such an early big move, and Johnny would have told Laurel and Josh to keep it secret.


But the lines were very clearly drawn this whole challenge and elimination, so I don’t think there was much point in keeping it secret. Plus, Georgia would have told Bear what the others were thinking and who Nat asked for, who then would have told Laurel, so she at least had an idea.


I really think it was a dumb move by Nat. She would have destroyed Nany in that comp and it would have still given them the numbers advantage.

It almost completely blew up in their faces. Would have been an all time blunder.


Agree with whoever said Nat is annoying. Could only cheer for her over a psycho like Laurel

Just watched. Wow.

A lot of Laurel hate in here. I actually like her and like her stance in the game this season. She definitely does seem to always make mountains out of mole hills, but she was 100% right about Wes and his alliance. She wasn’t in on it, and she would’ve eventually been picked off by it. Sure, much later, but it would have still happened.

But good on her for calling a spade a spade. Kam seemed to all but admit that Cara and her had a deal. The difference is you have to back that shite up. And I thought she did but obviously she missed the hole. What sucks is that they both missed the same hole, and TJ blew the horn which means it is ended. So they should have restarted it from there or started over or some shite. But to let Natalie (I refuse to call her Ninja because I hate her) just put the peg in and start climbing was bullshite.

Laurel’s reaction was hilarious after she “won.” And it seemed to definitely be based around how Natalie was acting before the elimination began. She was bouncing all around like a win was guaranteed. That would have annoyed me too. And I was legit pulling for Laurel because of how Natalie was acting. Plus I hate her.

Josh is hilariously inept at women. Like legit makes me laugh out loud.

Georgia was looking good this episode in that bikini too. So I know that had to kill Josh. Ole boy was crying over her in the pool for chrissakes.

I do like how much the Brits celebrated their first win even though it was thrown by the Americans.

Oh, and I think one of Laurel’s biggest downfalls is that I bet she believed John too much this season.

Ashley mauled Cara with how she acts badass but is scared to prove it. And Cara is just as entitled as ever. And as ugly as ever. But at least they aren’t throwing her and Paulie in our faces every five minutes this time. At least not yet....

This was really a great episode though. I was legit nervous at the elimination and when it ended and there was so much time left in the show (about ten minutes), I knew something was up. I still don’t like the 90 minute episodes, but this one was great. And this season has been great so far.

Also, the challenge this week was weak as frick. Carry this shite up the hill while everyone throws nerf balls at you.

That’s clearly what the celebration was about. Apparently ninja somehow found OUT what the elimination was going to be beforehand and was acting all cringey at the house and on the way there. Laurel = GOAT

Beginning to wonder if this dude isn't really in the closet. If NOT he could have been tagged with multiple #metoo violation this season alonee

She did get beat...Ninja got to the top faster but didn't see a hole for the pole to go in. She could've put it in the wrong spot like Laurel and hit the buzzer. I don't like ninja since her blowup towards Turbo but I lost a lot of respect for Laurel. As far as ninja being all excited before the competition most people do that to try and psyche out the opponent.

Well yea that's the whole point of the show. You think Bananas didn't have alliances before? The fact Laurel brought that notebook she was planning on scheming too. Thing is team USA should've taken out UK before going after each other.

Leroy still sucks, Cara is still annoying as hell and Georgia is still stupid when it comes to Bear.

Ninja is so annoying... I was actively cheering for Laurel to win that one, but the comeuppance was also fantastic TV.


That one was really on TJ/Producers for not catching the mistake sooner. Had he not blown the bullhorn for Laurel's "win" then she would have probably realized the mistake and still won. There's enough production crew around, someone should have realized that she missed a peg and let TJ know.

I was so torn watching this shite go down. I despise Laurel because I think she may be the worst human being I've ever seen on the challenge, and that's fricking saying something, but I also severely can't stand Ninja, Dee, and Kam.

So, seeing Laurel act a complete and total arse then get bitch slapped with Karma was a delight... But then I realized that Ninja was still in the game along with her makeshift little crew of very unlikeable people.

I thought John's line during the vote, "That's why it's the Challenge" was one of the most succinct and great lines he's ever had.

Ninja was pitching a 4 yr old fit because last year, by freak luck and a huge influx of rookies, she did not have to deal with the real challenge full of manipulative psycho naracists, and instead just had a game that was played pretty straight.

Not this time, though. And I hate John's game so much this year because he knew he had the numbers so the old a-hole came out again.

Bump for tonight’s episode. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen more high profile eliminations so early in a season. And each one has had a strong player going in on both sides.

At some point, the US will need to trim the fat to stay dominant. Leroy, Nany, and Josh are the obvious targets.

Smart move by Paulie to get rid of John. Dude is a cancer and would eventually screw over Paulie at the first chance.

Yeah the way the game is setting up, the only internal threat Paulie has is Jordan. Everyone else is too weak to rise against him or is too passive in their game play (Turbo and Zach). Otherwise the US can keep winning and Paulie will run the entire season.

He could offer Jordan protection and probably secure his spot but he won’t be able to include Tori in the deal since he already has 4 females in his alliance.

I am curious to see how many people are in the final this season and how they split the money. But more importantly, next week is trivia!!!

But I was still rooting for John because he's good TV. Paulie is just a shithead and Cara is perhaps the worst cast member left. I despise her now. John should have never let Paulie in the tribunal. That was a very rookie mistake.

Going to be rooting for Jordan for here on out. He's smart enough to know he better get some numbers together and make a move on Paulie.

Now I think he can beat him in a final and probably evryone else. (guy smoked Derrick in a final remember) but he needs to bad together Zach, Leroy, and Josh, and Nany and Ninja and of course Torrie for a 7-man voting block and then he can run the game.

The other side only has 4 votes.

John's strength is daily challenges and finals. Losing him hurts team USA a ton. But damn he sucks at eliminations.

It would have been glorious though to see john go to team UK.

Btw, anyone else notice how hot Tory is this year? I think she's gotten a boob job or something too and she's pretty tan. Don't know, I've always been pretty middle of the road on her, but she's been very sexy this year in kind of a very natural way. She's also acting less nuts and ghetto this time around. I think having Jordan around has really made her more likeable.
