Season 34 Episode 7 - "Zero Dark Turbo" - October 9, 2019
I felt the title of the episode was misleading and I really expected Turbo to be thrown out of the game. Was Turbo really that Dark? I do have problems with Jordan. I do admire him as an athlete as he does well in challenges but overall as a person he can really suck. I think in high school he though his yelling at people was motivational, it is not. He is totally oblivious to how people react to his behavior. At this point I don't think he cares because he feels he successful in life based on his drive. He is making enemies. Are Jordan and Turbo the same? The fact that Jordan does not recognize he is wrong or that he cannot apologize or understand that he should apologize is not a good thing in his personal or professional life.
Liked the challenge.
Zach was acting like the douche he is during the challenge. What an idiot. I do wonder though that he is coming across confident and may actually be staying for the entire competition as he has cleared his schedule. I do not however, want him to win. He is another one who is incredible hard on his teammates and it comes across very abusive as I have seen him only behave that way to women.
Tribunal: Team USA: Tori, Turbo, Zach
UK votes in Bear.
Tribunal votes in Joss.
I personally do not like Bear, he is loud and annoying. He may be "good" TV but hard to live with. He talks a good game but he does not live up to it per what I saw in War of the Worlds. I saw him quit too many times. He talks it up to cover it up though. It amazes how he acts like a multi season vet when this is only is second season.
23 Players left: 12 guys, 11 gals.
Eliminated so far: 2 UK guy, 3 UK gals, 2 US guy, 2 US gals
Or 4 guys gone and 5 girls gone.

Season 34 Episode 8 - "Saving Private Esther" - October 16, 2019
It's a double elimination. Thank goodness they need to whittle the players down a bit faster.
Team USA divided their team into two groups to collect the relic heads with Jordan and Zach collecting relic heads. It also looked as if Team USA built several stacks along the wire to collect the relic heads. Team UK did not divide their team and only had Theo getting the suspended relic heads taking advantage of his height.
Tribunal: Team USA: Ashley, Cara Maria, Paulie
UK: Esther volunteered herself and the UK voted in Kyle
Tribunal: voted in Georgia and Theo
Theo was shocked Cara said his name but there is a certain point you can't save your friends and have to play the game.
Overall a good challenge and a good elimination. Esther did well. It is good to see someone who is not physically fit do well and exceed their own expectations. I do like that everyone on both teams was impressed with Esther performance. Even TJ praised her.
The UK girls are now trimmed down to Dee, Kayleigh, Georgia, and Jenny. Who do you start throwing in at this point. It will have to be Georgia and Jenny as Dee and Kayleigh are part of the USA alliance. Or will the larger US alliance try to throw in US team members from the other US alliance. It gets to be so much fun when they start to cannibalize.
21 Players left: 11 guys, 10 gals.
Eliminated so far: 3 UK guy, 4 UK gals, 2 US guy, 2 US gals
Or 5 guys gone and 6 girls gone.

Amazing how folks in two person teams can do so well but in a larger group it can all fall apart.

Jordan proves again and again why he is so unlikeable. Why oh why do you go after people. You poke at Cara. You don't like her. Then don't say anything to her. She has to prove she is good enough for your team??? Seriously both Paulie and Jordan have egos. But to start it with Turbo. I would like to see Turbo go against Jordan in elimination. I think Jordan is a coward and a hypocrite for poking and poking and then backing down when challenged yet he get so righteous when others do the same.
Idris, where has he been the last couple of weeks not to realize that he is potentially going in. No one is safe for the entire challenge.
Ashley ... thank you for the drama.

Jordan likes to go after some of the top challengers. He did the same thing in the past towards the best of all time, Bananas, and threw himself into an elimination against him and ended up losing. lol @ Turbo going crazy after his strut was imitated. I thought it was funny that CT said he was scary, after the way he used to act himself on the challenges in the past.
I wonder if Theo will get some revenge against the alliance that keeps putting him in the eliminations all the time

I wonder if Theo will get some revenge against the alliance that keeps putting him in the eliminations all the time I have no problem with him being put into elimination every time. Let him earn his way to the finale by doing a lot of eliminations like many champs have done. At this point if the Brits keep on losing he will be put against Joss, Rogan and CT. That would be fun. |

Season 34 Episode 9 - "The Royal Rumble" - October 23, 2019
Tribunal: Team USA Josh, Leroy, Ninja
Leroy and Ninja vote in Theo, Josh votes in Joss.
Team UK: votes in Idris
Tribunal: votes in Theo
I think this could have been close but Idris can't seem to think and it looks as if he totally shut down during the puzzle making piece of the challenge.
Theo crowed in the confessional how great he is. This in only he second challenge and he is acting like he rules the house. I can only hope Ashley keeps on voting him into eliminations as he can only go against CT, Joss, or Rogan at this point if Team USA stands firm on its decision to not vote in any Team USA folks.
Dee was trying so hard to prove that she could keep up with Tori that she got heatstroke. I didn't like how Jenny got on her high horse about how that shows that Team UK has a weakness. Dee passing out from heatstroke is the least of Team UK's worries. Dee made a mistake and did not hydrate enough lesson learned. Georgia had heatstroke in the last finale, didn't she? I do hope it comes to bite Jenny in her ass as she was quiet adamant that her body would never let her down like that.
20 Players left: 10 guys, 10 gals.
Eliminated so far: 4 UK guy, 4 UK gals, 2 US guy, 2 US gals
Or 6 guys gone and 6 girls gone.
Who is left?
Team UK Boys: CT, Joss, Rogan, Theo
Team UK Girls: Georgia, Jenny, Kayleigh, Dee
Team USA Boys: Jordan, Josh, Leroy, Paulie, Turbo, Zach
Team USA Girls: Ashley, Cara Maria, Kam, Nany, Ninja, Tori

An intense episode. Turbo already had one warning and was kicked off the show for acting crazy. He was almost as scary as Cara's septum piercing. The US decided to vote in their best female player, Tori. Instead of voting in a strong US player to go against her, the UK decided to vote in one of their own best players. Ok then. lol

This is not simply an athletic game it is also a social game. Jordan and Tori act as if everyone should just let them into the final. Why? I wish the smart less physical ones wiped the athletes right out of the game.
Same with Georgia and Theo. I do think at times folks who get to the final their first time in a challenge don't get how hard it is. Thirty-two people started this game not everyone is going to the final.

I am so glad Cara and Paulie are not on the new season that is filming! I also like they are salty about it. All the crap they say annoys the hell out of me. Then we have chicken Jordan and his cocky attitude that is just as gross. Hilarious that even CT is scared of Turbo.  Jordan wouldn't talk all that shit if he wasn't surrounded by security. Turbo has a right to be angry but he needs to understand if he plans on coming back that mind fking is part of the game. I just can't take Jordan that seriously with that bird chest of his. Kayleigh sucks as a person and competitor so it was a bummer she had a hand taking out Georgia. I wonder if Tori switching teams will be a good thing or bad thing and if it works out with Jordan joining too. I love Nany but once again she is depending on a man to help her in the game. Leroy said he wouldn't say her name and that still wasn't good enough. What does she want him to do? Did he sell his soul to the devil by joining Cara's cult? Of course he did but the guy has been trying to win for years and he thinks he has a chance so he's playing along. I want Cara's cult voted in! |

I just do not understand Nany. Leroy is protecting her to the best of his ability I don't know what she wants him to do. Leroy has limited power and ability to do anything. Nany's name is never thrown out as someone to go into elimination. She is safe. The challenge is a social, political, physical game that goes on 24/7 for 8 weeks. There are 32 people to start and everyone has a different strategy on how to play. Unfortunately, many of these strategies get blown up because the challenge is also a reality tv show and folks are playing to the camera.
I give Kayleigh mucho kudos for staying under the radar and making a power move.

She technically does not suck as a competitor because she is still in the game and helped get Georgia out. Glad to see Leroy out from Bananas shadow and maneuvering quite well in the murky and turbulent waters of the Challenge. |

Season 34 Episode 10 - "Infinity War" - October 30, 2019
Tribunal: Team UK Jenny, Joss, Kayleigh
Team US votes in Tori
Tribunal votes in Georgia
I luv it when a good plan comes together. It was priceless watching Kayleigh and Joss vote Georgia into elimination.
After all the violence and actually fights and stupid drunken behavior I have seen over the years on this show I was surprised Turbo was sent home for basically threatening someone. That behavior has never sent anyone home in previous years. Then to hear TJ sprout off that Turbo's behavior was unacceptable was kinda, pretty hypocritical.
18 Players left: 9 guys, 9 gals.
Eliminated so far: 4 UK guy, 5 UK gals, 3 US guy, 2 US gals

Turbo had been given a warning and he was threatening MTV's staff, not just fellow challengers. Kayleigh is the weakest on her team by far and hopefully gets sent home soon. Also hopefully Cara's Cult starts to implode, cause I don't want to see a final with so many annoying challengers in it.

Thrilled she gave it to the physically strong players who are too thick to understand this is a social/political/physical game not just a physical game. |

I am so sick of Josh, Jordan, Theo, Jenny, Zach, Nany, and Tori whining about atheletes and alliances.
Theo - can't understand that why his team keeps putting him in because he is the best athlete on the team and of course they should sacrifice their shot a million dollars because he is so terrific. Duh, of course the weaker players are going to try to eliminate you. Of course the other team is going to try to eliminate you. Based on participating in one season and going into a final and placing second you think you can simply skate through, that finalists should be the best athlete, what kool-aid have you and Jenny been drinking?
Who cares if the UK team is decimated? It could be down to Theo and Jenny and I think they would have a better chance against a larger US team. Duh, the US is doing you a favor, thank them.
Only one person or alliance can run a team at a time and what that tells me is Josh and Jordan and Tori you are control freaks. The problem is your vision of how to run the game is only one of thirty two plans. What Josh and Nany do not understand is if they kept their mouths shut they have a free ride to the final.

It would have been interesting to see what Theo might have done if he had won the elimination. Anyone in his position would have been upset that they kept getting thrown in time after time. Rogan should have went in, especially after taking his own teammate out during the challenge.
They really need to change the tribunal setup in the future. I thought it was whoever spoke up first, which would have been Josh on yesterday's episode. Though control freak Paulie got to lead the tribunal for some reason. Also people that do terrible in the previous challenge, such as Cara, have no business being in the tribunal. Maybe the break next season will do her some good, she seems miserable being there.
Didn't Kayleigh want to get her hair wet during that challenge?

As for the tribunal it is sort of a mutual consensus. At first no one wanted the job and when the alliances were set up it went to a vote. |

I am getting so sick of hearing Josh and Jenny whine about the strongest players being eliminated. This is a social political and Physical game folks. Just because you are the physically strongest does not mean you will make it to the final.
I am so tired of Nany whinning. You are getting a ride to the final even though you are not a part of the stronger alliance. The whole point of the game is to make it to the final and cross the finish line. It has been made easy for you this year. I am sooo sorry all your strong male protectors are gone and that you can't make Leroy into your puppet. Do you not get that Leroy does not have that much power and cannot flip on his alliance?

Kind of an odd episode. So much of it focused on Rogan doing whatever he could to put his girlfriend Dee into the elimination cause he thinks she will gas out in the final. This coming from the guy(Rogan) who gassed out in his first challenge season and was the first one eliminated. CT threw a challenge by doing rock paper scissors. I'm not sure why he didn't make it a little less obvious. lol Then Dee ended up finding out about Rogan's plan and the UK team decided to put their best player Tori into the elimination. Tori destroyed Jenny easily even though Jenny looked she would definitely be the stronger challenger in that type of elimination. Now next week in the preview it looks like there is a swimming challenge involving pairs and it sounded like the pair that comes in last is eliminated from the show?

I wonder how many will be eliminated? Of the remaining girls Kayleigh, Nany, Kam, Dee, and Ninja are the worst swimmers. Of the remaining girls Tori, Ashleigh, and Cara Maria are the top three swimmers. Leroy is the only guy who really can't swim well. |

In the preview it looks like Paulie was telling Cara that they should get a pool cause she needs to practice her swimming more. It looked like Leroy was hugging one of the female challengers after the swimming in a sad moment(possible last place), but that could just be an edit.

It was more on the lines since they had access to a pool the entire time they were there she should have taken advantage of that. |

That is still a lot of players left, so it looks like they are purging next week but I would think it would have to be more then two players. Seriously if this is a swimming challenge Tori and Jordan will be successful it is who is paired up with what girl. Except for Leroy, that will be bad.

Will not be surprised with that many people that there will be a cut off during the finale somewhere. I would luv to see Josh and Zach be in screaming agony during the finale. Well Jordan too but that is unlikely however much I would enjoy it. Throw Tori in there too and Nany. |

Jordan wouldn't talk all that shit if he wasn't surrounded by security. Turbo has a right to be angry but he needs to understand if he plans on coming back that mind fking is part of the game. I just can't take Jordan that seriously with that bird chest of his.
