The rumored premiere date for season 39 is Wednesday, October 25th, so this season should be over before then

I was assuming it was the same # of eps as last time?

is that season going to be on paramount only?

i think i already saw an offer for paramount free for a week, so ill have to wait til the season ends and then just binge all the eps lol.

As of now I'm expecting S39 to air on MTV so you wont need paramount until All Stars 4 which will be early next year

ETA: Episode 6


Seriously what is Dusty's problem? He looked bad going off on Tiffany like that when she didn't even vote for him. He overreacted so much. I thought Tiffany handled it with maturity

It's funny how as soon as TJ says its his favorite challenge, they all know he means trivia lol. TJ's laughing kills me lol. I thought maybe team red or green would win after the blue team got the first couple of questions wrong, but nope. The red/green team players started dropping into the water like flies lol

Wes's wife is beautiful and really sweet. Liked seeing him talk to her. She's due next month. They will be great parents

It really did look like Wes had lost the elimination to Dusty and apparently it looked that way to everyone else. I was pleasantly surprised when TJ announced Wes won. Happy he won and sent Dusty home. I wanted Wes to win anyways, but If this really is his last season, I really hope he gets to go out on top

Not surprised Wes went to the blue team. With Wes there, the vets on that team now have the numbers and can use this to their advantage

Current teams after tonights episode

GREEN TEAM

Michaela - Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X
Tyler - Big Brother: Season 20
Chris - Survivor: Edge of Extinction
Monte - Big Brother: Season 24
Alyssa S - Big Brother: Season 24

RED TEAM

Cory - RW Ex-Plosion
Michele - Survivor: Kaôh Rōng/Winners At War
Josh - Big Brother: Season 19
Tiffany - Big Brother: Season 23
Chanelle - Survivor: Season 42

BLUE TEAM

Wes - RW Austin
Bananas - RW Key West
Tori - AYTO?: Season 4
Desi - Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers
Sebastian - Survivor: Ghost Island

Weird editing. They really wanted everyone to think Wes was going home the entire episode. It did look like he lost the elimination. I’m glad he didn’t, but the editing was a little extreme.

Yeah the site has been acting wierd lately. Hopefully this issue gets resolved soon

Did you get spoiiled over this episode or the season itself?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he comes back at some point. A lot of parents do it.

A format change for the season should be taking place soon. The trailers show cast members in black jerseys so my guess is the game becomes individual. It could happen right after the next elimination.

I just saw Wes all over the timeline. Tried not to read anything. I have the tag blocked but things still get through. I knew Wes was gonna be thrown in at the very least. I assumed he went home, so I was pleasantly surprised that he actually won. I guess he undid the knots a lot quicker?

Wes was acting like having a kid meant he wasn't allowed to go back. I wonder if his wife told him she didn't want him to do the challenges anymore because it doesn't sound like it's his choice. He doesn't have to do every single challenge, but one every few years I'm sure would be fine??? How long does 1 season take to film?

I kinda like the team thing, I am bummed if it goes back to individual. They should switch to partners first or something. It could be entirely random partners or do it some other way idk.

Yeah I'm thinking he untied the knots quicker cause it sure as hell looked liked Dusty won lol

I expect Wes to return and I think his wife would be supportive of him coming back. I think it's more likely he'd return to do spin off shows though, like All Stars or USA, than the flagship. A flagship season usually films 2-2.5 months, but the spin offs usually film for like 4 to 6 weeks. Leroy/Kam's son was about 8 months old when they left to film All Stars 4 so if they made it to the end, there were gone for about 5 weeks. This season is Wes's 3rd straight spin off season he's been on behind All Stars 3 & the World Championship

There's only 1 male and 1 female winner so I'm not surprised the format changes. I do agree that it's nice to see them comete in teams since we rarely see that these days. On USA 1 they competred in pairs and then as individuals right?

Episode 7

Blue team crushed that challenge. They had the most people and they worked so well.

Alyssa S is a cute girl and Tyler seems like a nice guy. Don't mind them.

Michaela crushed that elimination and Tiffany really struggled. Oh well. At least she managed to make one basket lol. I like Tiffany though.

As expected the game is now individual.

Remaining players after this episode

Girls (7): Tori, Alyssa S, Michaela, Chanelle, Michele, Desi & Cassidy

Guys (9): Wes, Bananas, Cory, Monte, Tyler, Josh, Fessy, Chris & Sebastian

I was spoiled because of fckin twitter again, so annoyed.




USA 2X07:


The Blue Team is so strong, jeez.

I find Michaela so annoying. I’ve tried to like her but ever since Survivor I just haven’t been able to. So I wasn't thrilled to see her win the elimination.

It sucks that Tiffany was thrown in. She made a bit of a point with the girls being thrown in but it hasn't been completely one sided. Guys have gone home too (though not as many). It seemed Tiffany didn’t have the fight in her which is a shame. They better make next week a guys challenge though.


I think Alyssa and Tyler are cute. 10x better than Tyler/Angela and Alyssa/Kyle.

I hate to say it cuz I love her but Cassidy's hair is so ugly lol.




New Cast Order:

Wes
Cassidy
Michele
Tori
Tyler
Alyssa S
Sebastian
Cory
Desi
Chanelle
Bananas
Josh
Michaela
Monte
Chris
Fessy

Michaela is the one that was blindsided by Jay on their season of survivor right? They haven't crossed paths on a challenge yet.

A guy should defnitely go home next week. If there's going to be 4 guys and 4 girls in the final, the number of each gender has to even up at some point.

Jamie, hope you have fun at the Challenge Mania event today if you're still going. Give us a recap when you can

i dont remember, i just know she was screwed over or went home early or something. I didnt care for her then either.

Maybe since its individual now TJ will just make it a guys elimination. I could totally see him bringing up Tiffany's speech and saying he wants to level the playin field. I wouldnt be surprised if they did a double guys elimination either.
