Probably because Hunter/Mattie are morons and wasted who knows how much time trying to load a refrigerator onto their wheelbarrow, and breaking it.

well that, and they were probably taking the big bulky LIGHT stuff and thinking they were doing well.   You look back on the replay and Turbo is clearly taking things that obviously weigh a fuckton - hes in obvious distress, and this is a guy they showed doing a clean & jerk of ninja several times in this episode.

Ninja was too self absorbed to notice he wasnt carrying 60lbs worth of shit, he was probably dragging 120lbs or more per walk.   which is how they ended up doing better than Hunter/Mattie with 1 less drop off of shit.

 

and reading the above posts, I agree that the producers not listing the total weights each team did is very fucking sketchy.    Im sure the challengers were verbally told after the announcement what each team did, but that really should be there for the audience to confirm.

Turbo seems like a whiny bitch. 

English isnt his strong suit, so I think part of his issue is communicating exactly what his problem/concern is.

Plus it really looks like he has lived an "honest" life. He's one of those guys that as long as you are honest with them, he's going to treat you as a friend.

However, the moment you lie to him, or fuck him over, he takes it personal and will cut you off cold.

 

That being said, honest question, how in the FUCK is Dee allowed to be a contestant if she is THAT terrified of A) small heights, and B) water?

There have been a fuckton of water challenges over the years, and even more challenges where you are suspended 20-40 feet above the ground..  

That plane was 30-40 feet above the water - which is nothing, ive jumped off a 10m platform several times before, and its slightly scary, but its not the paralyzing height she made it seem.

Turbo is clearly the rookie of the year.  He may be an Alton/Landon level athlete.

Honestly, I think Ninja is just as much.  unless she gets badly trapped in a puzzle challenge, I dont see anyway that she isnt in the finals, and most likely finishes top3

Dee suuuuuuuucks: Classic personality type where she justifies every single emotion and thought and reaction she has without even once considering if what she's saying/thinking/doing is right or not. she'll just act on every emotion and then justify it later, all while trying to call someone else out. gotta live her line to Turbo, when she's trying to say that he's being an ass for not forgiving her and natalie: "we (natalie and dee) have been two of your best friends since day 1." lmao. ORLY? it's too bad English isn't Turbo's first language, otherwise he probably would have said, "then why the fuck were the two of you screaming at me like crazy assholes during a challenge that i was winning for natalie and myself?" 

Cara also continues to get under my skin. Grown women who like little children is super high up on my list of pet peeves, so the longer we go, the more i'm going to dislike Cara. It's crazy to me that she gets to watch herself every season and she doesn't see it.

Come on, Da’Vonne. 

 

*Words spy never thought he would type. 

Da’Vonne has grown on me quite a bit. I find myself rooting for her more often than not now. Seems like the classic case of “I have a child now and they may eventually see what I acted like on TV” so it seems like she’s become a lot more level headed.

But who knew Turbo was such a grudge holding woman? Ninja was in the wrong, but she apologized lol. What more do you want. Be a man, accept that she fucked up, she’s acknowledging that she fucked up...just keep it moving.

Turkish culture bro. Also Turbo is not normal. And I love that he's holding this grudge like this btw. Ninja recently posted on social media  that she just spent a week with Turbo in Turkey and that it's been water under the bridge for a long time, which helps me see why this guy won Turkish Survivor three times- game wise he's ruthless. Afterward he's the normal, chill Turbo we saw for the first several weeks.

Turbo cracks me up

Right before Theo vs Kyle start:  "Fuck I'm excited now"

"If you don't listen to me you going to lose this game"

"That's why I love too much the milk"

"He is sexy" about TJ

"Time to War" end of ep referring to girls about to match up on killing floor.

 

Also, gah I hate Georgia's accent.  Please dub over her.

Yeah I been on turbo for months now.

I can maybe see why Pauli’s is ranked above him on some lists, but it’s turbo for me. I think he’s going to win.

Dude isn’t just a big strong meat head like tony or Zach. He seems to have good stamina and is athletic. Is ruthless and savvy politically. And the guy seems to be really good at puzzles too.

If he can eat horrible shit(I have no reason to think he can’t) I’m afraid this guy could be the dominant force we haven’t seen in a long time.

Gotta disagree here, her confessionals fucking kill me. Not sure if it’s intentional or not, but she’s pretty damn funny. 

 

Could also easily see her in porn with that accent & those pigtails though.

He wouldn’t be considered top 2, but I’d love to see Hunter do a Hall Brawl vs just about anyone. Low man wins, and all that bullshit. At 5’7” or whatever the fuck he is, I like his chances vs just about anyone in that elimination.

Who would be your all-time Hall Brawl matchup? 

Maybe peak CT vs. Zach? 

contenders at their peak:

CT, Zach, Marlon, Landon, maybe Mark Long?

 

edit: yeah Hunter would be a good one. For those who've forgotten, Marlon and Jordan vs Leroy and Ty in hall brawl is one of the greatest eliminations of all time. of all time. it had everything. Marlon and Jordan has no business winning, but they both a lot of football experience and heart, and that won out in the end.

half-kidding. But I'm not sure that you could actually squeeze past him. Though you might be able to wait for him to clear your side of the hall and outrun him to the bell.

He destroyed Wes in hall brawl.  Rang the bell with Wes' head. Wore him like a fanny pack.

I remembered Wes going against someone he was physically outmatched against in one of these. And I remember that he dove at the guy's legs in a maneuver that looked like he could have legitimately fucked himself up trying. Forgot it was EZ though.

That was some crazy shit with Paulie. 

 

Even though I rooted for Da’Vonne above, glad Mattie survived. The seal part was funny though. 

I think he gave himself a concussion with that awesome head first dive at the beginning.  I wonder how they determined Mattie won.  They both failed at the same point.

Male 

  1. Wes - previous final, brains, some endurance
  2. Turbo - braun, but lack of puzzle
  3. Theo - speed, avg puzzle, above average endurance
  4. Hunter - food challenges

Female

  1. Cara - experience, puzzles, endurance
  2. Mattie - braun challenge, lack of endurance, good puzzle
  3. Ninja - endurance
  4. Georgia - all around solid, just better competitors

All of these could be completely flipped all around.  Finals should be legit.  I think it's just one person wins it all regardless of sex so my predicted order of finish based on the limited amount of preview we got to see would be..

  1. Cara
  2. Wes
  3. Theo
  4. Ninja
  5. Turbo
  6. Georgia
  7. Mattie
  8. Hunter

Turbo destroyed that puzzle on the airplane last week, so bad call. 

 

Agree with Pokes about Paulie’s dive, he was fucked from jump street. 

True.  Forgot about the plane puzzle.  He timed out on the Mad Max go kart puzzle thing, and middle of the pack on the initial episode puzzle thing.  So maybe im overestimating his lack of puzzles.

I think Cara will be zoned in on this final now that she’s by herself, but Turbo, Wes, and maybe Georgia are all gonna be really tough to beat. I can see any of those four winning this thing. Man, Paulie’s run was really hard to watch. Great episode.

No Ninja?  Depending on the task, she's better than every woman there.  Since the final covers 51 miles, I have a feeling her endurance will come into effect.  I'm going to predict Mattie and Hunter are dropped from the final at whatever point they decide to thin the heard.  Assuming they do.  If strength plays into the beginning, then maybe it's Georgia that gets cut.  Unless the first part leading up to the thinning of the herd is eating gross shit and throwing stuff around, I don't see any way Hunter beats those other three guys.  But hell, I didn't see Paulie going all Vinnie Chase as Aquaman coming, so you never know.   My prediction for the final is Turbo, Wes, and either Cara or Ninja taking third.

Yeah I been on Team Turbo of almost 2 months.  See no reason to change now.

 

I did like how it ended with the 5 Rookies staring down the 3 Vets(All Champs BTW). Just crazy that the rookies ran this show this year.

Part of me kind of feels bad for Paulie, because he was clearly the best male competitor and his body shutting down like that was kind of a fluke situation. Georgia, and literally every other dude finished that easily. 

 

But then I think about having to watch another minute of Cara Marie and Paulie in the house together, or in a challenge together, and I’m just thankful haha.

No respect for Hunter, eh? He’s kind of my dark horse. He won the last challenge he was on, and performed well in the final. He just didn’t win the money lol. He’s had a weird season, but now that he’s in the final and actually has experience in finals, I feel like he’s gonna put it together and have a good final.
