Episode 4 - "Karma Chameleon" - April 22, 2020
Challenge - Cold War - 5 teams of five players - a test of hypothermia - collect puzzle pieces locked to cables in an ice cold pool of water. Again Bananas amazes in finding a shortcut to do it quickly. Unlock all the pieces first in stead of hauling them out of the pool one by one. Use your hands while you can. However Aneesa was left to solve the puzzle. Thankfully the puzzle was hidden by a partition so other teams could not see the solution ahead of their turns.
Ashley was selected for elimination. I don't think there is anything wrong with the way she plays the game. The game has changed so much over the years and Ashley has adapted. I don't know why Bananas decided to attack her at the beginning of this competition. I know he likes to stir the pot. Calling her an alliance jumper. So what. Ashley's problem is that she liked to play the victim but she is a cutthroat vicious player. People have figured that out Ashley.
The elimination was not that hard, an endurance thing. The memory thing at the end was the hardest. Dee wins Ashley is sent home.

Bye Bye Ashley.
Bear with that fire extinguisher was ridiculous. He can be such a moron. I am surprised MTV/producers did not say anything to him.
That COLD COMP.........OMG..........I could never do that. At one point the water was like 51 degrees. ugh.
I thought KayCee was going to do in against Ashley for a few seconds there. KayCee is awesome at comps.

That COLD COMP.........OMG..........I could never do that. At one point the water was like 51 degrees. ugh. I thought KayCee was going to do in against Ashley for a few seconds there. KayCee is awesome at comps. I did a swim test for ROTC in college which involved jumping of a 1 meter diving board backwards and blindfolded into a swimming pool in the middle of winter with boots and a backpack which had a huge rock in it. We then had to swim from one end of the pool and back. The idea was to simulate jumping of a helicopter at night into water with full gear on. I am comfortable in the water and didn't think it would be that hard. After you jump off the diving board into the freezing cold water is what shocks. With the rock in your backpack you immediately sink to the bottom of the pool, which was OK. The shock of hitting the cold water, hitting your chest, was so cold that it seemed as if it was squeezing all the air out of your lungs and that is what happened. I let all the air out of my lungs and no air at all does make you start to panic, that was scary that you had to keep maneuvering under water with no air. The next hardest part was trying to stay afloat with a huge rock in your backpack. It can be done. Then you had to stand on the deck waiting for your entire team to finish. After it was all over I stayed under a hot shower for a really long time.

So far you have two newbies and two champions eliminated.
Asaf Jenn CT Ashley
This is going to be as hard on the vets as on the newbies and the tweens. The Challenge is always difficult as it is a two part competition, getting to the finale and then running the finale.

It always irks me when reviewers and episode recappers, bloggers, and podcasters, state how weak a person was or a loser because they collapsed from heatstroke or simply could not climb up a mountain.

Episode 5 - "Break Up With Your BF, I'm Bored" - April 29, 2020
Just because you have a beautiful body and can workout, being dumb as dirt makes you just look stupid. This is for all the folks who can't remember a formula (Bananas), who can't do math (Rogan), and who can't follow instructions (Corey).
Rogan you screwed Dee, you broke up with her, you were into another girl, and then you get pissed because Dee kissed Jay to get back and you and it's Jay's fault. It was stupid then and it is still stupid. I just hope Jay is OK.
I would not be surprised if at some point TJ will call a cutoff and if no one had any Red Skulls they are out. It would be hysterical if the only three players going to the finale were Jay, Dee, and Jenny. I am supposing right now as this episode ended on a major huge cliffhanger.
Jenna and Zach ... Zach is an idiot. Jenna has never cheated on him, it has always been the opposite. I wish she could find someone else to be with who treats her with some respect. Doesn't she look awfully thin this season?
Kailah, Kailah, Kailah, by now you should know better there are cameras everywhere.
What Wes did to Josh was brutal, very deliberate and brutal, I wonder what the end goal is? It was kinda embarrassing watching Wes insult Josh, cause Josh wasn't getting it.

Episode 6 - "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - May 6, 2020
Lots, and lots, and lots, and lots of drama this episode to the point I just wanted to scream and say just do the challenge and elimination. Needlessly long episode.
Kailah and Bear do I care? No.
Johnny and Wes as interior designers, not bad, but bad adolescence jokers.
Jenna and Zach. I always thought this was an abusive relationship. I think he is emotionally unstable and he is mentally abusive to Jenna. He has cheated multiple times on Jenna yet accuses her of cheating when they were on a break from each other and both dating other people two years ago. There is something really mental going on with this guy. Run don't walk away from this guy.
Nelson going off on Aneesa for 10 minutes ... talk about poor sportmanship.
Bayleigh going off on Jordan, well that was a mistake.
Bayleigh and Aneesa (I think I meant Nelson) are both idiots (for yelling at their partners and going psycho about their truth).
Josh ... in total denial he lost a puzzle piece.
Jay at least was OK. I think he had a concussion.

Episode 7 - "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" - May 13, 2020
I AM SO HAPPY! Jenna won and sent Tori home.
Dee did not lie to you. You tried to Bully her into doing what you wanted when you wanted Dee said she would help but on her agenda.
I am so glad Jenna ignored Zach. He is such an idiot.
Nelson, Nelson, Nelson. I hate this double standard for women. Men can shag whoever they want to. Women can shag whoever they want to but Nelson can still call her a slag or worse. It's not the first, it's not the second, it's multiple times we have seen this behavior over and over. Apologies mean nothing if you don't try to change your behavior, Nelson, Zach.
It would be so funny if Jordan lost next week. Make it happen.
Still way too much drama.

I kinda didn't like how LOOOOOONG they spent on Tori comforting Jordan after she lost, I wanted to see them celebrate Jenna winning. This was a big moment for her and they took it away. I don't care if Jordan is upset he is an ass. What would have been even funnier if Tori went in against Big T and Big T won.

More commentary that recaps, but thanks. I must say I like a lot of fans get tired of the drama and just want to see the challenges and eliminations. I really hate this double standard towards women regarding their sexual relationships. The sexual revolution was a double edged sword. I hate the pressure guys put on women to put out and when they won't they get abusive. This is such a common problem and it starts so young. I know when my niece was in elementary school the 5th graders were putting pressure on the lower grades to do sex acts and to post naked pictures on their phones. That is crazy. I do see that while folks like Wes and Bananas do relax and party they never let themselves loose total control. I just wish the girls (even I am doing the double standard) would be more careful. I don't know if their desire to be on TV makes them do outrageous stuff but there is a time to grow up. Like Nany. At times I adore that girl, I love the way she carries herself but there is evil, nuts, crazy Nany that comes out and I don't want to know that girl. I really, really luv the way Jenna stood up to Zach and stayed. I do think Zach is emotionally abusive and an idiot and I think Jenna can do so much better. While it looks as if they will continue to be a couple I don't doubt that their marriage with end up in divorce and it will be due to Zach cheating on Jenna and being emotionally abusive. Best line of the show was Cory's final comment about Jordan being vulnerable in the house and when "sharks smell blood in the water".

Episode 8 - "Live and Let Die" - May 20, 2020
Luv that Bananas can always follow the rules of a challenge but also think outside of the box.
The majority of these people so bad at puzzles that even three working together can't get it. That is what is so funny if Nelson, Cory, and Josh make it to the finale there is always a puzzle, there is always math and they can't do it.
I am not sad Jordan was eliminated but didn't wish him hurt.
I really, really wish they had put in Cory against Nelson. Nelson is so cocky and stupid. He thinks Kyle threw him under the bus, everyone knew, it was no secret.
Swaggy seems to have made a mistake talking to Josh, he should know better. But really, Josh, what power do you have in the game?
Does everyone have to get drunk in this game, Big T?
Kailah, you can forgive one kiss but you let it go on, and on, and on. Since they have calls I wonder if she broke it off with her boyfriend. She is living with him right???

I am thinking it may be a double elimination for the girls next week.
The only folks I don't want to see in a finale are Nelson, Cory, Swaggy, and Bayleigh.
Out that four only Nelson has a Red Skull, I simply do not want him to win because he is a total donkey's behind. Also, his head would explode because his ego would expand too much. I would also luv to see the agony not winning would cause him. He is good for hilarious moments as he is so bad as this game.

Watching Bananas on the Food Network's Celebrity Worst Cooks show. Bananas needs to tone down the jealousy a bit. He likes to be the center of attention and he honestly thinks he is the smartest person in the room and when someone else gets praised for their cooking skills, like he teammate Dave, the dagger eyes he gives are very obvious.
Check the ego. That boy can be vindictive.

Johnny Bananas can be incredibly charming and he comes across well on film. He has had years of experience from all the confessionals he has done on The Challenge.

Episode 9 - "Backstabber" - May 27, 2020
TJ states that the challenge is at the halfway mark.
Luv'ed the Tunnel Rats challenge.
Ha Ha, Dee has problems swimming, Nelson has problems swimming, Swaggy almost drowns with a lifejacket on and is medically evacuated. Swaggy is on Josh's team and Josh is pissed and even more pissed when they get DQ'ed for not finishing the puzzle.
Later Swaggy and Josh almost fight at a bar. Why does anyone egg on Josh?
I don't get the point of voting in or having the tribunal nominate someone who has a Red Skull into elimination unless you are trying to block others from a chance at a Red Skull and in Jenna's case it was that she had "checked out". Who cares I rather run a final against a "checked out" opponent.
Shocked that Aneesa beat Jenna.
Fessy, Nelson, Rogan, Dee, Jenny, Aneesa, and Kaycie have Red Skulls.

I was surprised that some of the people in yesterday's episode were basically saying how very solid of a challenger Aneesa is. I don't consider her to be near the top tier level. lol

I don't consider her to be near the top tier level. lol Aneesa's main skill has been maneuvering through a challenge and getting to the end. I have seen her in a finale and her performance was pathetic at best. Every season she has been in everyone commented her biggest physical challenge was holding and drinking from a wine glass all night long. All the girls have laughed when ever Aneesa has commented about working out as she never works out. Partly she wins eliminations is because she is bigger then most of the girls and can sit on them. It is very obvious she had put on at least another 40 lbs or so. She claims to have being doing crossfit recently. This is the first ever I have seen her working out in any season they have aired. Aneesa is bottom tier as far as being physically able to complete a finale. Do I think she can finish a finale? Yes, in last place. I do think she had the will and determination and she can do puzzles and probably math. I do think she can do food challenges however her overall time in any finale will be in last place.

I wish folks going into elimination would quit threatening the other players that they will get them. First of all you want to go into elimination at least once to get your Red Skull as that is the only way into a finale. Even so, one person does not have much effect on the game you have to have some good luck, some alliances, and strategy to affect the game. When people threaten you in the game it is meaningless unless you can back it up.

The slimiest, cruel, meanest comment I have heard was Rogan commenting in his confessional that he needs to get rid of Dee so he can have some fun. When he first said that I was shocked, really shocked that he would do that to someone he cares about. However, in part this is both Rogan's and Dee's fault. Rogan and Dee have a connection, and they have slept together. The trouble is Rogan does not want an exclusive relationship and Dee does. Rogan is not ready for it and Dee is jealous and possessive. Let's face it even with Dee and Rogan not in a physical relationship this season she is being possessive and trying to control his sex life. What I don't get is why is Dee reversing on her strategy. She battled Tori and Jordan to give Jenny a chance to get a Red Skull and yet now wants to get rid of her. Can someone explain that to me?

Bearcata aaron2005 lonnie I am behind a bit but what did BIG T actually do to her foot? I watched her jump off her top bunk but I cannot imagine what she cut her foot on. And three stitches. How will she continue? I just finished with Bear and Jordan being eliminated.

How will she continue? I just finished with Bear and Jordan being eliminated. Some how after she jumped off the bunk and threw or pushed the chair across the room. I think she make have either hit the chair leg or somehow when she tossed the chair brought the bottom of the chair leg on top of her toe. It was an impact incision and quite deep.
