Why don't we have a thread for The Challenge?

This show has always utilized sketchy editing but they're turning it up a huge notch this season.
Tony was pretty emphatic that he didn't actually play it as stupidly as it appears. I think Tony is a big meathead but I think it's likely that he might be kind of right.

P.S. Laurel is a bully and a cow.

Really hope that Emily or Cara wipes her out. She's awful in every way.
 
Another excellent episode. Great season so far.

Next week should be interesting. We're looking at:

Assuming the Era 1 broken down oldtimers lose again, Rachel & Brad will go in. And with Eras 3&4 being pretty much aligned, the opponents will probably be Laurel &Bananas.

Are there any bangers they haven't done yet? Or do second helpings of Hall Brawl or Pole Wrestling?
 
Finally got to catch up.

Josh can't stop himself from being a moron.

That's all.
 
Some thoughts on last night's episode.

really appreciated Darrel and Derek talking about their back and knee pain. Cracked me up.

Gonna miss Tina, felt like she was bringing some hot mom energy to the show.

I don't understand how Kaycee skates. She's the most boring character but the few times you hear from her she talks about how she plays a great social game, and it's just baffling because we never see it. I'm gonna be pissed if she gets another walk to the final.

I was hoping the twist would be when Rachel and Derek were the only ones left from their era that TJ was going to congratulate them on making it to the final, so the other eras all realized that only 2 from their era would go and they'd have to figure out how to get the rest of their era out.
 
We got a corporate sponsor for this episode!

Only thing that would have made it better is if it was Burger King.

I kind of appreciate that the corporate sponsors are so rare now that it just feels like a huge joke when they have one. Honestly pretty cool prize to get to go to the Gladiator premiere though.

Yeah, it's cheesy as Hell, and often a ridiculous stretch. This one they leaned into the theme better and made it fun.

This reminds me of the Vendettas season when every episode had at least 5 contestants say something along the line of "____ is my vendetta." A VENDETTA IS NOT A PERSON!!!
 
I would've liked to see CT compete in the blindfolded boxing elimination they had a couple episodes ago.

Although there must've been a bunch of rules that they didn't mention as someone should've gotten knocked out.

I was legitimately worried for Avery's face, because she's not ugly, and if she is on future seasons, I am not opposed to her staying as not ugly as she is.

Luckily, she mentioned that she had boxing experience.

Although from what I saw, it must've been the kind of boxing that doesn't include punching. Or defense.
 
Bananas may have outsmarted himself.

The Devin cut out was hilarious.
 
Bananas, Jordan, & Tori missed the chance to pull an awesome prank on the house: Return from the dinner and act as if she was gonna send Jordan down to the pit.

Could've added a side bet that whoever broke and fessed up the truth first had to go streaking around the house or some other punishment.
 
Really liked the elimination tonight. Right kind of physical. Hope that's one we see again.

BURGER KING CAME THROUGH!!!

Was a fun one for sure. Wonder how many of them were unwilling to eat the burgers at the bar afterwards. Imagine half.

This is actually kind of fun.

Jenny - absolutely not
Michelle - I feel like she'd be a good sport and have two bites of a burger for the camera but otherwise has zero interest
Cara Maria - feels like no but in my heart of hearts you can take the girl out of Boston but can't take Boston out of the girl and she's down
Rachel - almost certainly not, but she's smart enough to use the promo to shout out her kids
Tory - I think she's vegan or vegetarian, so no on the burger, even though they have some Impossible Whoppers, but she hams it up with the fries and there's a reason she was the first one seen wearing a crown
Jordan - this one is tricky to say because he holds himself to a high standard however I feel like he would be turned off by thinking he's above anything that has to do with the show. I humbly submit he partakes, and does so with a certain reverence
Corey - has a second Whopper, and is grateful for it
Kyland - eats precisely half of a Whopper, no fries
Derek - this one is conflicting because he's clearly seen with a half eaten Whopper. Is it staged? I think it is. But I also think knowing he could be a dead man walking he crumbles and eats, and immediately regrets it
Bananas - anything for the camera and sponsors, say what you will about him, he knows who butters his bread

I may need to go rewatch the scene.
 
Finally caught up. I think a lot of fell behind. Phew.

I had to race to get to that BK episode. Great commentary above - I think you hit the nail on the head with how each contestant would treat the meal.

Corey is just built to lose. Always a bridesmaid. Also, I didn't realize that Nelson lost a leg. He was in good spirits though - pretty good scene. Corey seems to be featured on phone calls home more than anyone else. Calling Nelso, family, friends...dude uses the house phone too much! He needs to work on swimming. So does Kyland apparently. That could be big on this season since we're obviously surrounded by water I'd guess swimming will be important.
 
I think this was the first episode where Jenny was not referred to as a beast, even though she won the daily challenge. The asthma is going to kill her in the finals though.

I think Jordan and Rachel take it. Bananas is washed, Kylen can't swim, and Derek shouldn't still be there. For the women, I already mentioned Jenny, Tori has a huge disadvantage going right from elimination into the final, and Michelle has been lucky to avoid anything physical.

Then time to start Era 5 with some new blood. Need more fights, hooking up, and debauchery and less missing their kids, etc.

Yeah, Jenny looks like an Olympian or something, but that asthma in a final could be legitimately dangerous.
