Also, Natalie getting lost in the first stage cost her $500k.




Paulie and Natalie had no business even being in the Finals. How many eliminations did they lose before finally winning one? They were given so many damn chances, yet CT wasn't given a single chance to get back into the house. Such bullshite

And enough of the plot twist and game surprises. It reeks of the producers making shite up as they go.

This show use to be awesome.

Ashley and Hunter came in late too. They basically got a free pass from the early rounds.

So I just looked at the cast for next season and


One of the dudes is listed as a soft porn actor? And the series they are pulling people from is mind-boggling. Its like they are trying to sabotage the series with some of these cast members

What an awful season.

The walking over the coals ending was truly horrible.

Just watched the last episode, very fitting way for it to end.

This season was horrible

Ashley and Hunter came in half way and basically had to do nothing to win.

Paulie and Natalie lost like 4 eliminations and then went back on a promise to frick over their friends

Joss and Silvia probably deserved it the most and they were awful.

I might be done with the challenge after this season

Finally getting around to watching the finale, and holy shite how awful was that bullshite?

Climb down a helicopter ladder. Then run a 4k. FOUR KILIMETERS. That's less than two and a half miles.

Then stand on a platform? Then eat and drink and get some sleep in a fricking bed. Then wake up and eat some nasty shite and then run even less miles than before.

And the last thing is walking on like ten feet of hot coals? That's what middle-aged secretaries do for motivational purposes.

This is the dumbest shite I've ever seen for a final. What happened to the days when they had to stand in the elements and do mentally draining exercises for two and three days? This is honestly easier than most of the regular challenges from this season.

And Joss and Sylvia...frick off. Especially you, Sylvia. What in the world makes you think the grenade wouldn't be thrown at you two? You were very clearly in first place. Sure, it's a dick move to go back on your word if you're Paulie and Natalie, but Natalie was 100% right...if they didn't throw that grenade then, they were giving up and giving Joss and Sylvia the money. And Joss and Sylvia were the ones stupid enough to come down off that platform in the first place. So that was stupid for them and Hunter and Ashley as well.

And as much as I hate Ashley, good for her for fricking Hunter out of the money. He's a fricking a-hole. And I know he said he would have split it with her, but I don't know if I buy that. Her saying she was slut shamed is hilarious though...she is a sloot. And she knows it and doesn't care.

And I couldn't be happier to see Sylvia bawling her eyes out. frick her.

And Natalie should feel awful that she cost her and Paulie a million bucks (if Paulie would've split it with her that is). Her getting lost in the first run cost them, no question. And I don't know why but I love Paulie now. I hope he's on every season, which I am sure he will be. I also wonder if he and Cara are dating to set up a future battle of the exes show, because they would run away with that shite.

This whole final goes to show how stupid it is to have coed teams as well. The final had to be something that was easy. Imagine how cool it would've been to see Paulie, Joss, and Cara get to run that final themselves with no teammates.

I bet John and Tony were sick to their stomachs after seeing how easy that final was (although they would've had all the grenades thrown at them most likely).

I am hesitant about future challenges, but at least the next cast looks decent. My main concern is that they were pimping this season as this HUGE "end of an era" type of show. And it fell so terribly flat in the end that I am scared future shows will be borderline unwatchable.

I know the producers got fired a couple year ago who had been on the show forever, I think tbe ratings were down.

And the new guys actually infused some good new blood with the Brits, but now the forced, manipulated outcomes and the emphasis on "drama" has gone way... Way too far.

The show always had the spirit of competition at its heart, but it's gone way downhill this year.

The only conciliation on a season this shite, and this manipulated rigged, with this many terrible, not good players, is that you at least get a good reunion, which tonight's may be.

But then again it may not be.

I'm guessing the reunion will be shown in two parts, then we'll get The shite They Should Have Shown, then the CT wedding special, and only a few weeks off until the next challenge starts.

I think it’s the two reunions and then CT’s wedding special. I doubt we see a new season until at least March because I believe they are still filming the current one into mid December. The turn around is usually 3-4 months once the season is done, if I remember correctly.

I’ll watch the reunion tomorrow.

Its the typical reunion. Nonstop drama, everyone shouting at each other, and almost a fight. Paulie looks like he's trying to be John's clone now.

Devin either has a major inferiority complex due to his non=stop need to one up Bananas or he is a fraud and is just doing it for the cameras. Every time he says something I cringe. His persona is getting old.

Evidently Shane is 38, lives with his parents and has no job. That made me chuckle because that's what I figured.

Not sure why Paulie wants to literally kick Kyle's arse, but I assume it has something to do with him being short and having little man's disease.

Bananas was questioned why he only goes for the rookie girls and his response was all the others have been run thru. Classic, Johny, Bahahhahahaha

When did CT turn into the voice of reason? I still remember him kicking Adam's arse for no reason other than he could.

Cara looks like a walking, talking venereal disease to me, but so do a lot of the other girls. Trashy

Ashley is amusing to me. Not sure why she gets so much hate. She puts on no airs and doesn't give a frick, which is better than most of the other people on the show.

Anyone else think that Kayleigh from across the pond is fine as hell?

Hunter and Cory are punks. Nothing more.

I have never really found the actual competitions entertaining as I watch because of all the laughs I get from the drama, so I found the end of the season to be awesome. Ashely taking the money for herself was the perfect conclusion for me.

If there are Dlist celebrities, then these people must be on the Glist. For most the money isn't worth the price they pay by way of lost dignity, so not sure why they partake year after year. Sure someone like Bananas has won a lot of cash and parlayed his fame into other ventures, but for others they never win and just make fools of themselves.

It really was a terrible finale. A Spartan obstacle course race would have been more entertaining and challenging.

I know sometimes they would go overboard in the past with the mental challenges in the final...one of the best examples that sticks out to me on this was the one where they had to memorize the campsite and match every single detail at another location. That one was gruelingly tough.

But there are no things like that anymore. Seriously, the "hardest" thing they did was stand on a little tower for five hours with their partner. They didn't have to stand outside on a fricking glacier in their underwear or do any mental block type challenges.

Walk across hot coals for ten feet? Seriously? There is no way TJ saw that final and thought any of it was a good idea. And btw, I hate how much I've come around on TJ.

They tried way too hard to make things co-ed neutral. They took the physical aspect away to even the playing field for the women and mental away for the men. It all left for a bland arse race to the finish line. The most challenging part of the whole thing was the eating contest.

I can't believe there wasn't even a puzzle in the final.
