I love how worked up Scott gets about the Georgia/Nany elimination. I feel the EXACT same way as he does.

Good for Nany NOT getting too worked up about it! She is awesome.

Definitely looking forward to them getting Nany on the podcast though.

Aaron2005

Scott said he's going to be announcing next weeks guests soon. Hope it's Nany or Georgia, especially Nany

New sneak peak is up with Paulie doing the next purge challenge and part of it involves climbing a net. He's struggling to climb it though and keeps falling into the water. He's obviously frustrated.

Jamie

Those falls look painful!!!

I'm kinda guessing he's not going to be able to complete it, because I'm sure there's a time limit... I'm also wondering if anyone else will not be able to complete it though! Looking forward to the episode.

Aaron2005

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how the others do. He was so close to the top at the beginning of the clip and then just fell. This may be where he'll need help from the medics

Jamie

One more fall and yeah, he's definitely gonna need help getting out of that water.

Theo's podcast ep was good, it was just a little hard to understand him from time to time, lol. He seems like a cool, calm guy overall.

Alexa

I did not think that Da'vonne was going to beat Dee, that was a surprise. She does do well in eliminations, which is interesting.

SO HAPPY THAT PAULIE ROYALLY SUCKED AT THAT CHALLENGE. SO SO SO SO HAPPY. ASFDSFDSFS. I dont get why he was SO bad? Everyone else did fine, including the women. He is such a loser! And him and Cara are just

How did they decide who went between Mattie and Davonne? Davonne got further up the rope than Mattie? But I guess M got to the rope first probably.

So happy that Wes made the final.



I will be fine with anyone winning except for Hunter and Cara. Dont particularly care for Theo or Turbo either.

Aaron2005

Yeah Da'Vonne was the elimination queen this season. I wont miss her too much though. Dee had a great run this season as well.

Yeah I agree. while some of the others struggled, I was surprised that Paulie struggled the most. It was also surprising that Georgia was the only girl that didn't have any problems. She continues to impress me. Even Ninja fell and climbing/jumping off stuff is suppose to her area of expertise lol. I totally wasn't expecting Paulie to break down and cry in his interview the way he did

Yeah I just think Mattie made it further along the course than Da'Vonne did.

As pointed out at the end, it's pretty funny that the rookies outnumber the vets in the final. I liked the ending of the episode with the excited rookies and the vets in their separate groups and the rookies talking about how they're going to be the new champs

Overall, I'm happy with this final 8. I like all 4 girls and would be happy with any of them winning. Wes is my #1 but I'd be happy for any of the other guys winning as well except maybe Hunter lol. Whoever wins will 100% deserve it though IMO. It looks tough and it should be fun to watch

Alexa

Ninja is totally overrated. She has kinda sucked on this season imo. Not sure how shes a good ninja warrior.

georgia is very impressive from the girls.

He cried on BB too, he is such a little baby. Hes like all bark and no bite. I cant stand him. His fragile ego is what made him lose, not the cold water.

Jamie

The Da'Vonne/Dee elimination was a little weird, just because it was hard to tell who was ahead and then all of a sudden Dee is falling off lol. In the end it didn't matter since both girls went home this episode. They both had a good season, though.

I think Paulie just started off way too fast? He was trying to set the pace, and he was moving too quickly. By the time he missed the swing the second time, he was way too cold and gassed out. I don't like Paulie, but he is a great competitor, and I actually felt for him here. It's cool he went home because then he won't take the 750k from someone else like Wes or Turbo, but I did feel for him. He was CLEARLY really hurting bad. I wonder how cold the water was?!? Why do the producers put them in dangerous situations?

Georgia did great. Did you hear Theo say he can't call Ninja Natatlie "Ninja" anymore? LOL. He elaborated on Challenge Mania that because Georgia beat Ninja at every challenge that was "ninja" related, that Georgia should be "Ninja Georgia" and Natalie is just "Natalie" now. Ninja got so upset that she poured hot sauce all over his pizza at the time. We didn't get to see it, but I thought it was funny of Theo.

It seemed to me that Mattie & Da'Vonne ended up at the exact same spot in the course. They were both at the bottom of the net after missing their first jump. My conclusion is that Mattie got to the rope jump faster than Da'Vonne, and that's all that mattered. I had a strong feeling Da'Vonne would be going home the way the episode was edited.

This final is going to be CRAZY! I think an obvious choice to win would be Turbo. I just think the guy has no quit. He will struggle, of course, but he'll just push through it whereas other people will get inside their own heads. Turbo is mentally really strong, in my opinion. Plus, he's won 2 survivors, lol. I hope the 50 miles is over 2 days though cause that's insane.

Rooting for Wes, Turbo, Cara & Mattie!
I like Theo & Georgia, too.
Hopefully Hunter (eeek we'll see him really flip out), and Ninja don't win anything, lol.

Did Hunter go into an elimination this season after Ashley/Chase?

Aaron2005

Nope, Hunter's only elimination was that one against Ashley/Chase. All the finalist went into at least one elimination this season except for CM/Turbo. CM has now made it to 4 consecutive finals

Paulie interview here. He talks about last nights episode. Going first on this challenge was a big disadvantage.
https://people.com/tv/the-challenge-...ore-interview/

I like her but I agree with this. She did have some letdowns this season in challenges and I thought she'd be great in just about everything. Ninja may not always do great in the challenges but I could still see her going far each season because girls would still fear having to face her in elimination rounds, especially physical ones

Jamie

Paulie seemed to go first A LOT this season, unless that was edited wrong.

Aaron2005

Really I didn't notice. It could've been editing at times but who knows

The final should be interesting. I wonder how a tribunal is going to work in this final

Scott announced that next weeks guest is going to be Da'Vonne. Maybe we'll get Nany the week after

Jamie

Yeah! Him & Ninja were like always first!

what do you mean about tribunal in the final?

Aaron2005

Well going first means you're the guinea pig of the challenge and then others can see your strategy and what works and doesn't work. The order in which players went in the challenges were always randomly selected right? If so talk about bad luck lol

TJ mentioned at the end of the preview that there was going to be a tribunal. I don't know how that would work. We'll have to wait and see

I'll start a new thread shortly
