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:

Spoiler

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?

I thought this one was a bit of a filler episode. Obviously the elimination was surprising.

Some thoughts from Cara on the conflicts with Laurel - TikTok - Make Your Day

Good article, covers a lot of things we've talked about here - MTV’s nostalgia problem, explained by The Challenge

Finally got to catch up.

Josh can't stop himself from being a moron.

That's all.

Some thoughts on last night's episode.

Spoiler: Notes and thoughts

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 read this post off my T-Mobile Sidekick.

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.

 

[BlazeOrange]

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.
