The Challenge Season 40: Battle of the Eras

[shadow_operative2.0 15835]

Liked the episode, but definitely understand why some won’t.

i’m doing a rewatch of Rivals (s21) which is on youtube tv. all time great season, with one of the all time great episodes (e5, Ill Communication). definitely a must-rewatch.

it was funny how laurel was acting like she was quitting after she’d already lost. 

[BurgleBro 772]

What an anti climactic way for laurel to go out.  I'll miss watching her.  She could snu snu me any day of the week. 

Was hoping we could see her go physical against any of the other strong women remaining.  But given the state of eliminations it's likely they'd put her against Tori in a bb gun competition. 

Bananas Theo elimination was whack af too.  Again.   Was there any doubt who would win that? 

Derrick would have actually likely crushed that.

I imagine Laurel would ride you like a wild stallion while telling you aren’t man enough to please her and then goes and shits in a pizza box in your living room just assert her dominance

Cara was right though, she quit that way instead of getting rocked in a final. Way too fat this season to beat the remaining girls.

Finished Fresh Meat II last night. Carley is 40 now, still in good shape. That was her only season.

Why does her head look like it was photo-shopped on a body in both pictures?

Daily & elimination challenges actually didn’t suck tonight, but the rest should be taken out back & fucking shot, Old Yeller-style. 

 

Worst thing this series ever did was go to 90 minutes.

If you skip over the 4-5 Michelle and Olivia conversations you can save 10 min 

[Teryor 4424]

Cory is and always has been such a worthless fuck. Has been totally disengaged from everyone the whole season, loses his one friend, then tries to weasel himself in to an alliance to get him to the final. Nobody cares about him still being around because they all know he isn't a threat in the final. Just a hilariously pathetic display.

The amount of Michele confessionals this season has been truly astounding. 

[MrBig 5290]

This season is the biggest challenge letdown ever. Everything is bad, the production quality, the accommodations, editing, elimination events, etc. I have never lost interest so fast in a season but to be fair I have only been watching All-Stars and the last regular season I saw was Total Madness which sucked too even though I know it was due to COVID. 

[Derka 5948]

yeah that episode was fucking dumb. the challengers are so in their feelings these days. just crying about the things that literally make up the fabric of the challenge. you get near the end and you have to go in against your friends, it happens every season. did we really need an hour long therapy session for michelle and olivia to get over that?

also, the women are delusional. 

michelle: “it was really important to me to have this talk with aviv and clear the air.” right, which is why aviv had to approach you to address you calling her out, and not the other way around.

olivia: “this is why i don’t let people in.” right, which is theo is “my man” and why y’all were saying “i love you” to each other after “dating” for 2-3 weeks.

the new age men aren’t much better. kyland is physically badass but is a huge emotional pussy and just boring as shit to watch. if he had any personality he could be the face of the franchise. instead he’s an overly sensitive man child who likes to quietly dominate and then read books. yawn. josh has worked on himself, which is great for him,  but now he’s just some big, dumb oaf who sucks at everything and is no longer entertaining. cory is popcorn muscles personified. 

im just going to keep watching the old seasons on paramount until i run out. i just started battle of the seasons and the daily saw preston and big easy go tumbling 30 feet into water, followed by frank drunkenly kissing zach and then trying to fight robb (6’4”) and danny (5’6” in his doc martens) at the same time. im like 1/2 an episode in to this season and its already more entertaining than the whole of the current one.

“you know that would never do anything to hurt our team.”

three seconds later:

 

 

[Derka 5948]

aw shit, wes vs big easy hall brawl coming up. let’s go.

[shadow_operative2.0 15835]

^ I watched that recently too. 

 

The Nia shit to Jordan made it really amazing she wasn’t banned.
