I like Darrell and he’s been good over the years. But he’s a little overrated. Yeah , he has 4 wins but 3 of those have been as a part of big teams. He’s only 6-4 in eliminations. 

I think he’s just old now. Prime Darrell would be really good in these challenges in my opinion, but then again he said it himself. The challenges are a lot harder now.

I noticed they have gotten away from the sexy hands on challenges...every season would have at least one where they lather up in something and have to rub/grope each other. 

There’s a brief clip in the All Stars trailer above that looks like two people rubbing on a block of ice to melt it. Unfortunately it’s two whales, Jemmye & someone else. 

[Angry Gorilla 1768]

How the hell did Jemmye make it on All Stars?  Has she ever won anything?

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

That cast is pretty sad overall, but we’ve discussed why already.

Yeah. I don’t think it’s going to drive much traffic to Paramount+. Not me anyway. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

The only streaming service I pay for is ESPN+, so this is probably a dumb question. 

Will they stretch all 9 episodes through 9 weeks to keep subscribers, or will we be able to binge all in a shorter period (preferably one month)? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

The good thing is 9 weekly episodes starting Thursday, April 1 would end on May 27, so only two months.

This.  The ropes would have to be a finite length for the challenge to work.  Cory just smoked him.

no way. Cory was ahead of him by two steps on the second run and he still was able to just run straight to the buzzer. production fucked up big time on that one.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i don't care if Cory was going up against Big EZ, if the ropes are long enough to where one player can just run straight to the buzzer without ever being stopped, then production didn't do its job. that does not make for a good elimination, particularly this late in the game.

Fessy almost concussing Nany :01 into their competitive partnership was pretty hilarious

he then spends the rest of the episode talking about how Nany failed, how Nany screwed up, how Nany didn't perform, but how he still believes in her. 

get fucked Fessy. 

[Scraps 13565]

I wish CT would beat his ass

[4th&Five 41559]

Kyle knocked up his gf. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

That just means we'll have to listen to one more person 'doing it for their family'. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

I'm sure she'll never be back because of all the Bear drama, but goddamn. 

Spoiler

Who here has been skydiving? Not I, but I’ve always wanted to. 

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

did I mishear TJ?

 

he said that was a half mile run?

 

If so, Aneesa couldnt fucking run for a half mile???   how the fuck is she expecting to finish the fucking final?

I just don’t get why they keep bringing Aneesa back. She adds nothing except diversity to the show. She’s been on 14 seasons of the Challenge, 2 seasons of Champs vs Stars and is on the upcoming OG show. She’s only been to 2 finals, one of which had 15 participants. Never won. It’s way past time to put that cow out to pasture. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

And she makes me eyes fucking bleed in anything tight.

oh yes, that old, old wooden ship

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

And it ain’t like MTV isn’t diverse. They have never been scared to have any minority subset on their shows. 

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

would be nice to be a double elim here... would really fuck shit up

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

If Big T loses this one... 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Enjoy All Stars Aneesa, hopefully that is your final song. 

Fucking pathetic. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

What are they gonna do with next week? You go into elimination and switch teammates? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Probably go 4 & 4 into the finals, 10 was always too many.

Aneesa is the poster child for diversity.  She’s black, white,  latina, jewish, lesbian and female. She covers a lot of bases.

shit, I want TJ to drop a fucking bomb next week.  everyone but the winners goes into elimination.  4 players get eliminated in 1 night, take 6 to the finals

The weird thing is they showed her on a treadmill at least 4x this season. So it was either the same footage repeated a few times or she was going for like a :15 jog each time. Cuz even in that awkward jumping gear, you'd think a freaking 8-min mile pace for a half a mile would be the absolute slowest someone doing any sort of training would be able to manage.

Big T's lack of endurance was pretty bad, too. I'll never understand someone being able to swim but gassing out on a short jog because I'm the exact opposite. 4 lengths in a pool and I'm fucking dead even when i'm in pretty good shape.

[CAHorn 102]

I love how Annessa believes she somehow created The Challenge so everyone, especially POC and women, owe her something.

The were were black women on every season before she got there, she didn't blaze a trail for anyone. Heather B. from the original season of RW was on the second Challenge season, how much more OG can you get.

She's the female Big, Easy and somehow just can't see it.

I would love to see CT crush feckless Fessy in an elimination.

It will poetic justice if CT wins the final and Fessy finishes like 4th. 

[4th&Five 41559]

Fessy calling CT old after getting his ass kicked in the final last season by another old guy is rich.  Dude sucks.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

I was dying at Leroy saying CT would whoop his ass

[shadow_operative 15932]

lol @ Aneesa saying things like, "winning this elimination is one step closer to that final, one step closer to the million dollars" without a hint of irony. hey Aneesa- you don't get to gain weight every offseason and then cry at the end of every season when you aren't good enough. you can't even jog for a quarter of a mile but you think you can run a final and win it. riiiiiggghhhhhhtttttt.

and Fessy- holy shit, you are the least likable doofus on this show in years. you are garbage, and you've done nothing to earn the right to act the way you do. CT will crush you, and i can't wait to watch it happen. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

oh yeah, gotta love Fessy talking shit about how the old casts weren't as good as the new casts. that's ducking hilarious.

Alton, Landon, Darrell, young CT, Mark, Derrick, Abram, Bananas, etc

vs

Nelly, Cory, Hunter, Fessy, Josh, Kyle, Rogan, Bear, etc

 

GTFO

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Yeah, CT’s point that he beat Nellie, Cory, & Leroy a few years ago wasn’t the strongest either. They’re still tied with me. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Great screenshot of Aneesa’s final ‘effort’. Is that like 15 feet?

[shadow_operative 15932]

it was hilarious the way they showed a little preview of the elimination that made it look like Big T and Aneesa were neck and neck, when in reality the clip was from Big T finishing while Aneesa was still stuck at the beginning. 😂 

[Scraps 13565]

My favorite part of every Challenge- when Fatneesa gets das boot

[Scraps 13565]

I still can't believe Haleigh let Fessy put his tiny penis(come on its obvious) inside her orifices.

Fuck

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Only an hour & 5 minutes tonight, that pretty much guarantees us a To Be Continued.

Best part of that is seeing her be surprised nobody wants to run a final with her.  She always lasts too long...taking up space.  Can't believe Tori lost to her ass.

If yall want to pregame and really hate Fessy more then listen to the podcast last week w Tori/Aneesa.  Fessy is the guest...man he is socially awkward dude.  Every guest they have had has been great...he was just cringeworthy.

CT needs to whoop his ass in this challenge.  

[TonyTexas 10517]

^^^
That podcast is my least favorite of the Challenge podcasts. Tori is extremely annoying. Believe it or not, the best one is from the The Ringer with Bill Simmons and David Jacoby. They do weekly recap on The Dish. 

[CBT 1282]

I admit I'm a Simmons homer, but I really enjoy him and Jacoby bullshitting about the show. Usually only 20ish minutes too. 

[Angry Gorilla 1768]

Do they ever get contestants on the podcast?

I'm a Simmons fan/hater. Used to love him, still listen religiously, but can't help but roll my eyes at like 85% of what he says. That said, his Challenge pod with Jacoby is just good

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

never underestimate the gullibility of a rookie - esp a rookie female who is just trying to stay in the game. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

This episode is basically just an hour-long advertisement for Paramount+ in the lower right corner. 

[AUS-97HORN 11809]

i dont fucking understand why the fuck CT voted for Kyle.... you vote for him you are guaranteed to be going against him in the elimination becuase the other 3 teams have an alliance.... if you at least get ONE of the alliance members in the arena you only have a 50/50 chance of being their opponent. 

and yeah, its a girls event, so CT gets a small pass.... but seriously a tied up voting tribunal would at least give your team a chance to not have to go into the damn arena. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Glad I was wrong about the TBC part, but not much of an episode regardless. 

Good luck next week, Kyle.

That is PRECISELY why he did it, he even admitted it to camera. He wanted Kyle over Fessy.
