re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning season-long Thread

Voting formula this year has everyone terrified, now all but only about 3 or 4 teams are just random burn voting.
And someone please tell Cara that "little girls" aren't watching the fricking Challenge and they damn sure aren't doing it to look too her as some kind of feminist icon.
The entire fact that she is now considered a "badass" is simply because the real female studs don't compete on the show anymore.
She has stamina but when she went head to head with chicks that could actually do real damage (the first Champs vs. Pros season and older challenge seasons with Emily and Laurel, etc.) she was a mid tier player.
Also, the final 5 minutes of tonight's episode was one of the most entertaining segments in a while.
Gay Shane going all ghetto queen vs black chick was great. The Gepetto line was classic, followed by John reactions as well.
Shane is such a putrid human being...
He's a perpetual 15 yr old girl and is probably the 2nd oldest cast member there only behind Veronica. Both have to be damn near 40.

Shane causes drama for fun. He has to know he can't win. It might help him last an extra week or two.

Wow Cara is so full of herself. Imagine if Zach or some other straight guy tried to get away with the shite Shane does. I gotta admit I'm starting to like Kyle and how he plays this game.

Cara looking really fit. I know the show kind of portrays her as a psycho, but she is having to watch this dude she’s really hung up on have sex with other women in the same house. I don’t think her actions are too nuts. Kyle is straight up being a dick on top of it by flaunting it and punishing her in challenges. Marie is actually being cool to Cara and not a psycho. That’s a weird dynamic.
Tony and Bananas being teamed together is kind of fun. They somehow seem to tone each other down. CT being the challenge mentor is fun as well. Him asking Paulie if all that bullshite was worth it
This show has some really fun dynamics this season. I just wish the pace wasn’t so damn slow.
ETA: Shane is annoying as hell.

So Shane's a feminist who only fights with, and talks down to women?

It really sucks too, because the only two outcomes from the slow pace are either they will have this season run for almost a year. Or they will eventually have some "purge" challenge where half the teams are eliminated at once.

I agree. Most Challenge cast members, past and present, would be flipping their shite and throwing dudes clothes into the river.
Cara really taking it far better than I think anyone else would. Dude is openly thumbing his nose at her, all while fricking a chick who is way less hot than her.
In her core, you can see she's a pretty meek person who kind of gets run over by threatening girls and guys.
She's just wants Kyle's dong...
I must say, he's probably the best pot stirrer of the bunch right now.

Cara's dealing with the fact that she was just an easy piece of arse to Kyle. He must have an amazing dick for her to be this obsessed with it.

She sucks so much. She wants to be the victim so bad, but then brings it all upon herself even more.
Brad and Kyle were so stupid to not give the grenade to Johnny and Tony. So fricking stupid. They are legit your best/borderline only competition and you need to hamstring them when at all possible.
I am loving Kyle. He plays a free-wheeling game that will end up biting him in the arse, but it's fun to watch though.
I did love how pissed Kyle and Brad got when Cara vote them in. And they sit there and talk about her taking money from Brad's kids' mouths. That's a load of bullshite, and they all should know it. I guess if they win, Kyle will give his half ($500k) to Brad then. So dumb.
Absolutely hate the pacing of the show still (yes, I will bitch about it still), but last night was an entertaining episode though.
Oh, and Shane is still a piece of shite. Shocker.

anytime anyone has ever talked about anything like this, it makes me cringe (becoming an overused term, but apt here) all over. we all have reasons to win the money, i don't give a frick about your kids, and im not going to behave any differently towards you because of your financial situation. please frick off.

A few takeaways from the last episode...
Sylvia's intro was cringeworthy.
Shane is still a piece of shite. He's the male version of Marie, leaves me baffled why he keeps getting invited back.
Zach and Amanda winning that challenge was pretty impressive given their size differential. I certainly didn't expect them to beat the all-guy teams.
Kyle is my favorite new player in a while, he's good TV, and he's good at the game.
CT's Challenge relationship diagram was great, even though he's completely wasting his time trying to figure out what most of these people are thinking.
And another ending without an elimination... we didn't even get the first part to know who was voted in... DAMMIT.
Smart move would be to vote in Faith and Angela since they are aligned with two of the best teams... but obviously no one wants to do that because it potentially puts them up for possible elimination. So, someone that was just thrown burn votes could end up in the elimination. Would be hilarious if it was Bananas and Tony.

I have no idea why people were trying that first part of the challenge side by side and holding each others weight up. Clearly the better way is to stay centered and balanced on the beam and work your way down it. I didn't get that at all.
Posted on 8/16/18 at 8:58 am to CocomoLSU
Yeah, that was pretty baffling, especially after seeing the first two teams cross it going one after the other.
Although with the train moving they might not have been able to see the whole time?

I feel bad for CT, but he's not helping himself out losing his cool.
He has a right to be pissed, but he isn’t doing himself any favors by being a dick to her. Giving her a hard time about not wanting to work out in the redemption house was stupid. She’s a lost cause. Doing some jumping jacks in the front yard isn’t going to turn her into Laurel. His best bet is just to be nice to her and build her up so at the very least she is mentally ready for whatever they have to do.

Tonight’s episode was much better than the previous ones I thought. Kam stock just flew up. It kinda sucked for her that TJ changed it up right when her plan just absolutely worked perfectly.
Posted on 8/21/18 at 9:26 pm to LSUtigerfan22
I wonder if they have it planned out in advance when they're gonna use the mercenaries or if TJ brings them in whenever he feels like it. Smart plan by Kam though. She played the whole house.
Posted on 8/21/18 at 9:41 pm to Jack Ruby
This is the by far the best elimination format the challenge has ever had. The fact they used an auto elimination on CT with this format is so frustrating.

It was impressive but kind of a huge waste to do it to the rookies. If she had pulled it off to send Tony/Bananas against Brad/Kyle or Zach it would have been an all time move.
This season's format is so good. And the new mercenaries twist is awesome. The only thing keeping this season from being truly great is the unbalanced teams.
I need a singles season with this format.
ETA I really hope they don’t use this new mercenaries twist as a way to have vets skip half the season.

Tori and Derek were dumb to pick Joss and Amanda over Faith and Angela. Tori knows how much Derek sucks. He can't beat any guy in the house except maybe Jozea. Kam's plan may have never happened if Tori and Derek knocked out Faith and Angela first.

The teams have to be terrified of the equalizer against girl/girl teams. That’s really the only way to make sense of it.
