I can't say enough about this house. You realize how much fun we could have in that for 2 months.

Turbo cracks me up. I hope he becomes the next Jean Claude Van Damn

CT is so fricking fat man

Smashley has been quiet this season. She's on the new season of House of villains with Joel McHale. Leo getting bitched out

Sydney is the MVP of confessionals so far


America doesn't seem like she wants to be on this show. She's just there.

Aviv getting lost in 40 was hilarious

Bananas is gonna have to win 4 eliminations if he wants to make another finals. This is insane the amount of hate he's getting early this season

Bananas makes his first mistake. You should have taken that first puzzle

fricking Derrick He was never the sharpest knife in the drawer. Dee isn't much smarter :lol: She's just athletic good looking and good social game

Theo getting outrun by America. HAHA

Bananas comes out last. WTF I don't think Ive ever seen that. Was it him or leka that sucked in that?

I want Leo gone soon.

I don't understand why they switched it up from episode 1. The winning team should be able to pick a team to save from elimination. Then the whole house picks the team that should have to go in against the hangnail.


Gabe and bananas. Please don't have it be a physical elimination.

It took bananas a long time to finish

Gabe was 70 pounds heavier, 17 years younger, and so much bigger. Had it been anyone of the other 3 eliminations before I think bananas would have won.

I was about to say how disappointing cara maria was this season. It was like she doesn't even wanna be on this season. This makes so much sense and glad she mentioned it. You always forget there is life going on outside this show for them.

Her just walking over to CT when it was his turn to pick was hilarious.

It's insane. Obviously he won't be in shape like he was for the Olympics, but those kinds of athletes normally have a training regimen that they stick to and have good habits when it comes to health.

But it looks like Theo has been just sitting on his arse (or in Olivia's) and not doing anything. I really liked him when they first added him to the show. But now I almost hope they replace him with somebody who can just compete week in and week out...because he doesn't have it anymore.

I agree. Like I said before, I assume they are mixing it up to keep the cast on their toes and not be able to just control the game too much. But saving someone makes for FAR better television than this avenue. Because then you can really shake things up in the house. Like this episode, saving Gabe would've sent the house into panic mode since everybody was 100% on Gabe no matter who else they sent in for the vote.

I agree. But one thing I'll say about Johnny. He's full of shite and of himself and all that, but usually when he gets his arse kicked he's the first to say that the other guy was better and doesn't make excuses. it's why you can tell that most of the shite he does is just for show/attention/screen time, but underneath it all he's a good competitor and not as sore of a loser as he comes off sometimes.


I think this was one of the most boring episodes of the season so far. I guess it was just the nature of the challenge, and then the uncompetitiveness of the elimination.

They were not allowed, which I think should almost always be the case. I hate when the crowd influences an outcome.

The old MTV would have shown this. America apparently hooked up with like 4 people on last nights episode. They did show her making out with dee on the original trailer to the show. Maybe that is why she isn't promoting the show or talking about it at all.

Old MTV would have made that the focus of the episode, then left us with a Bananas/Gabe cliffhanger.

Zero doubt about it.

Instead we got 5 minutes of fricking slo motion video of them working out like they are at Gold's gym

We need more thong shots of Tay and others.

Zero reason why they wouldn't have shown any of that. Hopefully the merger kick's them in the arse and fixes this stuff. Don't look like we will ever see America back on this show after that.

The old days the girls would have embraced that for future seasons.

Mostly I'm pissed we didn't get footage of America and Dee making out.

Derek wants to keep the “vet alliance” as long as he can. But ten minutes later is talking about “our UK alliance.”



Yeah Derek is all over the place this year. His head got to big from all stars and season 40

Her and Tay are so hot.

Didn't think I would like him from BB but he is a good addition.

No, Nany. We wouldn’t. Not at all. You are stupid. And you look like Skeletor.

John wiping the board clean around the 40 minute mark is an egregious mistake. He should know better than that and just hope you have SOME of them correct.


It's almost like he wanted to get last so he can go home early.

Tay, that red dress. My goodness.




quote:

Michaela is talking about how people don’t know how to play the game. But then she wants to throw in a vet male. That’s dumb of her and she doesn’t seem to know how to play it either. As a vet she should be against the rookie and the UK alliances first and foremost.



She talked all that smack while she had a buzz at the bar then crawfished the next morning

quote:

This is a cool elimination. I miss Jordan and wish he was on this season. This is the kind of elimination that he would excel at because strategy will play a big part in it. Not sure he’d have enough to beat someone as big as Gabe though.



Jordan vs Gabe would have been a site to see


quote:

Are they not allowed to talk during this elimination? Or is there just nobody wanting to say anything? Because knowing there’s only one left to score is such an advantage on defense.



I actually rather them not talk during an elimination. It always favors one person.

Yeremi choosing Ashley before Aviv or Cara is great. Hope she blows up on him.



You can't choose someone twice. Yeremi got Aviv in episode 0

I agree with that. I know it’s become part of the show where if you are an a-hole and don’t have people in your corner then you frick yourself when everyone else is helping the other guy in elimination. But to me the elims should be the most fair part of the show. Just straight man to man shite with no outside interference to see who deserves to stay.

I assumed that was a rule, but wasn’t sure if that was or not. I didn’t know if it was just that you couldn’t pick the partner you just had or you had to basically partner with everybody at some point. Obviously the latter is more fair.

Which is strange because episode zero was pointless with the whole mountain climb.

Not sure... if it was snagging viewers from the other shows it would hage happened sooner.

ETA: unless some recent show like Love Island (haven't watched) is pulling a lot more crossover viewers than shows like Survivor and Big Brother?

So according to Bananas, Cara, Ben, and others America got so wine drunk. She made out with Dee and Tay. Tried to hook up with Leo multiple times but he turned her down because she was too drunk. Tried to hook up with CT but he ran away. Tried to hook up with theo and olivia got upset and pulled America to the side and told her to calm down and sober up. HAHA


frick MTV for taking away lesbian scenes from the challenge family. This is a complete slap in the face to this whole franchise. She could have made Rachel, Veronica, and Abe threesome look like child's play.

She apparently has a boyfriend from BB season she was on. If anything I respect America more after this.

Cocomo, your reviews are basically the reason I always read the challenge threads. Thank you for making me laugh out loud as I drank my coffee this morning.

I agree. It's mandatory Cocomo watches the episodes and gives us the run down

We have a serial down voter.

I keep forgetting they do reunion shows.

I wonder if America even shows up for the reunion.
