Filming for the 27th season of the challenge has finished filming. On Thursday, June 11th, 28 people traveled to an Bodrum, Turkey to film the latest season the of the challenge. This season, each RW/Challenge/AYTO alumni has brought along someone that they are related to such as a brother, a sister or a cousin (aka "bloodline"). There will be 2 teams this season, as the Alumni will form one team while their Bloodlines will form the other. After each challenge, 2 players (who we can assume are unrelated) will compete head to head in an elimination round. The winner will stay in the game while the loser, will go home....along with their bloodline even though he or she wasn't in the elimination round

can we put a quote in the title or something. those are just way more fun.

here are some options:

"I am playing this like a chess game.. and I am looking many moves ahead" - sarah
"Why work harder, when you can work smarter? - Sarah
"When you quit a challenge before it even starts, you can’t talk ***** to anyone." - Jordan
"it sucks to suck." -nany


or something like "hurricane nia is back!"

--

i hope nia and leroy DESTROY nany/bananas.

oh, and i love the wes/leroy friendship a lot.

Those are some good title suggestions lol. Trying to figure out which one to use

As for Jordan, I'm not sure why he was so adamantly against throwing Bananas in. I thought he agreed with Sarah's logic? That it's a GAME, nothing personal. Not to mention, it's not even like him and Bananas have been good friends or even strong allies so I don't know why he wants to bring them into the final.
After what happened between him & Bananas last season, I'm sure it would be more special for him to go to a final with Bananas and beat him in it. He has that "To be the best you have to beat the best" mentality.

This is Sarah's 8th challenge though and she's never won and wants to experience crossing that finish line as a winner. She wants to make that path to the finish as easy as she can. One thing that didn't make sense to me is when she said how she's never won in the past because she always played nice. IMO her not winning in the past had nothing to do with that and had a lot to do with the partners and teams she was on.

i prefer the first 2, especially coming from sarah who made a big decision in the last ep.

sarans big struggle in the final though will be her endurance. she doesnt do well at running or long stretches of walking/hiking etc.

I definitely agree that Jordan has had that mindset in the past, but I feel like this season (whether because of Sarah or not) he hasn't stuck to that as much. He didn't agree to the vets' deal of throwing in Jay/Jenna in to the dome if any of them won, even before they knew Bananas was coming back. Plus to me it looked like he was wanting to keep Johnny safe more out of a sense of allegiance or loyalty than just to beat him in the final, but that's just my opinion!

personally, i feel like jordan just wants to be friends with johny or at least in his good graces because of their riff in the past. and i think he was afraid of throwing him and getting johnys wrath so he's blaming it on sarah.

I still giggle that Wes and what's-her-name got bounced.

Sarah deserves to win....but Jordan is SUCH a tool. Ugh.

Nia is just crazy...and Leroy is carrying her.

I hope somehow Bananas makes it to the end.

Sneak peak. The cast is at a club. Nany is having a lot of drinks, dancing with Jenna and having a good time. Bananas doesn't like it.

ETA: Availability calls for the next challenge have officially begun going out

New episode tonight, followed by the last after show special of the season

Next week we get a s**t they should have shown special at 9pm/8c, followed by the season finale at 10pm/9c, followed by the reunion at 11pm/10c. So we get all 3 shows in one night

I thought we'd get just the finale & reunion next week and the extra footage (which I knew nothing about until recently) the week after

Tonights after show will feature Sarah, Jordan, Nia, Bananas & Leroy

THANK YOU. Seriously. When he said he'd expect his mother to screw him over before Sarah... Come on. Easy with the dramatics. He threw Paula right under the bus and benefited from that betrayal. As my mom always says, what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. It's a game when it comes time for Bananas to cross people, but it's real life when he's crossed.

I kind of hope Leroy takes the whole thing. I love him. And putting up with Nia, who is a gross human being, for that long... man.

Nia is so stupid. You're that close to a final and you do that and get kicked off. WTF? I'm glad Leroy didn't get kicked off and Theresa returned as his partner.

Funny how Leroy has had 2 challenges in which he gets replacement partners after his original one gets kicked off as oppose to Sarah, who was sent home on both challenges in which her partner got kicked off or quit

The final elimination was a great battle. Glad Leroy & Theresa won.

The clip of Leroy asking the girl that worked at the bar if she'd be his new partner

Jenna & Nany getting drunk was funny as well

The final is clearly going to between Sarah & Jordan and Leroy & Theresa. Leroy & Theresa FTW please even though based on the after show it seems like Jordan & Sarah will win it

I love how Bananas says how he's never betrayed a friend, followed by that clip of Paula from the Island. PERFECT TIMING
