Best quotes of the night: "Wes looked liked my grandfather when he died." "I hope he pulls a calf."
Cara was in her head too much during the whole final. I wanted Wes to win, but it just wasn't in the cards with Theo and Turbo as competition. Turbo was on a mission to win this whole season, so it nice to see how happy he was. This was a great season. The challenges, eliminations, and final! They just started filming Season 34 this week so let's hope it's just as good! A lot of the same cast is back with the return of Laurel, Tori, Jordan, Joss, Kayleigh, and Faith.

Episode 16 - "This Is the End" - May 22, 2019 Last Tribunal - Hunter 2 votes (Turbo, Theo), Cara Maria 1 vote (Wes) - both Turbo and Theo express that they think Hunter will not last much longer Hunter picks Ninja, as he respects Cara as a vet Elimination Challenge - Walk Tiny - object of the game don't drop the rope. Hunter cramping too much drops the rope and wishes Ninja good luck. Cara and Theo voice their dislike of Ninja Another night in the Pain Locker Leg 2 Starts with Geography Trivia. If you don't answer correctly you are automatically out of the Trivia Challenge. T Question 1: In what country are the cities of Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata? A. Bangladesh B. India C. Spain ( I may have A and C switched) Answer: B. India - Ninja Natalie answered A and is eliminated from the challenge Question 2: What is the biggest river in the world? A. Amazon B. Nile C. Mississippi Only Cara answers B. Nile and she is correct. The boys all picked the Amazon. The River Nile is the longest river in the world. It measures 6,695 kilometres from its source in Burundi, along the White Nile, to its delta on the Mediterranean Sea. Officially, the shortesr river is the D River, Oregan, USA, which is just 37 metres long.
The biggest river in the world, measured by the amount of water that flows down it, is the Amazon. On average 120,000 cubic metres (about 20 swimming pools' worth) of water flows out of its mouth every second. |
OK that was a bit of a hiccup. I wonder how they explain that. Prize: A one mile advantage. Cara gets to ride to the next puzzle in a dune buggy the rest of the players get to Dune Walk. Battle Ball - a version of connect four. Cara vs Turbo - Turbo wins Cara vs Theo - Theo wins Cara vs Ninja - Ninja wins Cara vs Wes - Cara wins and Wes has a 5 minute penalty More Dune Walk Food Station - Turbo arrives first and can eat anything he wants and can give any amount of food to whomever. It is peanut butter sandwiches, bananas, some kind of drink, granola, biscuit or looks like it. Turbo gives the majority of it to Theo and Wes, and smaller portions to Cara and Ninja. Theo arrives, then Ninja, Cara and Wes. The players have had no food for 24 hours so Cara is thrilled. Cara finishes first and runs after Turbo. The rest of the players eat, puke and repeat. More Dune Walk Name | Finish | Turbo | 1st | Cara Maria | 2nd | Theo | 3rd | Ninja | 4th | Wes | 5th |
Another ride in the Pain Locker to the seashore Leg 3 - 5 mile run to 4 kayaks. There is a math puzzle at the end of the run. The number from the math puzzle will open a padlock that holds an oar to use to paddle the kayak. There are only 4 kayaks. Turbo opens the padlock on the first try and paddles to the wrecked boat to wait for the next section of the finale. Wes is the next person to the keypad and opens it on the first try and does the kayak paddle and almost misses the landing at the boat wreck. Turbo calls out to him. Ninja opens the padlock I assume on her first try. Theo did not get the padlock on his first try (he was there with Turbo) and had to go back and try again. Theo and Cara are both trying to open the padlock. Cara decides to try a second time but Theo manages to open the padlock and Cara is eliminated from the finale. I was rooting for her. Eliminating Theo would have put Cara in the money I think as she had come in 2nd in the Dune Walk. Name | Finish | Turbo | 1st | Wes | 2nd | Ninja | 3rd | Theo | 4th | Cara Maria | eliminated |
The finale 4 line up for a final sprint. Finish order of the sprint is: Name | Finish | Turbo | 1st | Theo | 2nd | Ninja | 3rd | Wes | 4th |
All the times from all the legs need to be added up. Final placement is: Name | Finish | Prize | Turbo | 1st | $750,000 | Theo | 2nd | $200,000 | Wes | 3rd | $50,000 | Ninja | 4th | no prize | Cara Maria | 5th | no prize | Hunter | 6th | no prize |
I truly do wish they would give the times and distances of each leg. After the first leg Turbo, Theo, and Wes were all 10 min minutes of each other. I would luv to know the final times for each of the top six. I do wonder how fair it is to have the girls compete against the guys? Is it fair to have lets say Dee compete on an equal footing as Theo. No matter if you are a ninja, or a cross fitter pound for pound the girls don't have the upper body strength. I do wish they never had done this winner take all regardless of gender, it is always going to be rigged for the guys to win.

There was a point after the first leg I really though Wes had a chance, partly he is cool under pressure and can get through the puzzles fast. Not to be.

I liked the winner take all format. There was nothing brute strength related that would have given the males an advantage over the females. Cara should work on her math and stop whining so much. Didn't she win a winner take all final in the past?

Didn't she win a winner take all final in the past? Men have more muscle, especially upper body, makes it easier to do the kayak part, the upper body throwing of the ring toss, the tire roll etc ... Do you really think it is a fair contest for someone like Hunter to go against Dee in a physical competition? I would luv to see Ashley attempt to punch Hunter. She would break her hand if her punch landed and he would kill her if his punch landed on her face. I can't wait to see Ashley or Dee of any of the girls go head to head against any defensive line up of a professional football team, after all they are challenge veterans now and of course they will make mince meat of guys who are twice as tall as they are and outweigh them by 200 lbs. Can't wait for the next Olympics where there will be no gender categories because all the men and women can compete against each other equally.

lol If cara would have won, it would have been all about female empowerment and she would have said that women can do anything a man can do, and usually better. Since she lost, it's 'not fair at all'. She should probably practice her connect four and stop annoying so many people. When they have to carry things such as backpacks, they have the males carry a lot more weight than the females. Should the males have carried 100 pound backpacks through the sand dunes? Cara's arms are probably bigger than Theo's anyway.

It does not matter if Cara Maria had won or not I still don't think it is fair competition when pound for pound the physical advantage is geared towards men. I always thought it was a bit of a cheap trick for the producers to do this. BTW it is not Cara saying it's not fair it is me saying it.

I have never liked the idea of one winner regardless of gender as the guys do seem to be all steroid, alcoholic, rage driven idiots who hump whatever they can find. The guys all tend to be twice the size of the girls and it makes no sense that they can compete on an equal footing. While I was thrilled Cara won her individual game, I was surprised, and didn't expect it. Do I think she is a good physical competitor? Yes. She has also upped her puzzle game. She is not a good social or political player and that causes her problems. She is both better at it and worse. I don't get why you need to get into twitter wars with anyone. I do think at 32 yrs old she needs to grow up with some of her behavior. She also needs to get a running coach and learn to swim if she wants to stay in the game.

Yes I agree, though there are just as many women on the show looking to hook up and hump.

Yes I agree, though there are just as many women on the show looking to hook up and hump. I do agree, while the money is nice the majority of the folks are here to party and be on TV. I do think Bananas, Cara Maria, Camila,,and some others look at it as a job and their primary source of income.

Reunion Special - 2 hours long
I have lost all respect for Zach, if he always comes in with the intent of leaving early because he wants to go home the producers need to invite someone else who really wants to be there. So much was revealed. We saw some real moments.
Da'vonne really needs to get off her high horse. She is not the Moral Police but she sure acts as if she is. She so judgmental, it can be hard to take. I really don't like seeing her get air time.
I do wonder how true some of the things Johnny said about Paulie using Cara is true?
Amanda, I really, really don't understand how she can have a job in the health profession, she gets drunk all the time and even sober she is so hateful. I don't understand how she can hold a job with her mouth.
So far I am liking this format and it's not all folks yelling to get camera time. Ashley and Paulie were practically laughing at each other.

I take it you missed the Paulie/ Danielle Maltby scandal? Per the receipts(as they say on the web) that she provided, he is absolutely using her to continue having a tie to the show. He is totally using her. As per the reunion, I like that the entire thing aired tonight. I hate it when they drag it out. All the women looked stunning.

This was the season Paulie was on for the the first time and Kyle was being a total ass to Cara. Afterwards it was revealed that Paulie and Cara had hooked up on the show and afterwards Paulie and Daniele met and he broke up with Daniele and Paulie aired all of those calls. If that is the timeline, yeah, I knew about it but haven't Paulie and Cara been together for over a year by now? Haven't they broken up and gotten back together a couple of times by now?

From what I know, they've been back together since January. Notheless, he was carrying on with the both of them at the same time last year while making promises to Danielle. Somewhere in that entire fiasco, its revealed that he was/is with Cara to continue competing on the show. It's either in text messages or recounting by Danielle. While I don't care for Bananas, he's not wrong about what he said.

Yes, he told Danielle in those texts he was only with Cara for the show. I 100% believe it. It's going to be ugly when they break up. Mark my words, he will say the most awful things about her. I think Paulie is a sociopath.
"Turbo was sent from the future to destroy us." I wished they talked more about the final challenge. Did we really need Lolo? Why was Georgia in a Halloween costume? Paulie got his shirt from baby Gap. Why did Bananas get botox? It looks so so bad. Also wasn't a fan of the all black. Thank you Miz for calling out Hunter!! Totally agree about Davonne. One minute she is big and bad then the next she is crying like a baby. I watched two recaps and Bananas was right that she made it sound extremely worse than what it was. I'm surprised MTV allows her. She basically spends an hour bashing everyone. Either Kam forgot to have her coffee or she knows she was really wrong. She didn't say much when Leroy and Davonne came for her. Day must not have watched Kam on ayto, she is forever trying to take a man. Bananas finally got his redemption with Zach. That's ridiculous that he is always wanting to leave the challenge. He basically comes just for his appearance fee. So glad Jenna didn't defend Zach. He looked remorseful but I'm not buying it. He's filming the new challenge now so I'm sure his vile mouth will be back. Josh calling out Gus about airtime. Is he joking? He is the queen of airtime!

Folks much of the show is scripted in regards to what they are going to talk about, the questions they ask the guests, even the fans in the audience are picked ahead of time and told what to ask. Folks who where in the audience have spilled this, so have the MTV cast. So for Jemmye to get into it on Twitter was kinda stupid and so was Lolo responding. Jemmye because she knows better, and Lolo cause she is so defensive. If you step back the Miz and Lolo did a decent job directing the questions and that is all they have to do. I watched Lolo on Champs vs Pros and on Celebrity Big Brother. She is a mess. What I totally luv'ed about this reunion show is that stuff was revealed. The entire Zack does not want to be here, he takes the fall, so he can leave early, etc ... The Amanda Wrapped in Tape ... too bad they didn't do it again on the reunion ... Georgia being OK about Cara telling her about Bear talking on the phone with his "cousin". There was WAY TOO MUCH facetime for Davonne with her and Kam and then the tape wrapping incident. I have to say this was one of the best reunion shows they have had. I do wish they had given a hint of what happened in the next challenge though.

Reunion Highlights - my quick observations and musings
1. Congrats to Turbo
2. Hunter quit – you don’t understand my circumstances I had 500,000 stolen from me
3. Cara – comment about her fear of needles – Amanda stated it was dramatics – sidebar: really people do have needle phobias - The Miz asks Amanda her opinion about Cara and her reaction to needles. This was so directed by the producers as everyone knows that Amanda will never say anything nice about Cara - Amanda was not the person to ask this question as she will never ever say anything nice or positive about Cara.
4. Josh vs Gus – camera time - Josh stated his followers tweeted him about Gus wanted screen time - Josh said that Gus was fake
6. Kam vs DaVonne vs Theo - seriously I don't know why Davonne even brought that up and made a fight out of it
7. UK alliance – Bear/Johnny/Ashley vs Paulie - Johnny stated that it was easy for the prospects to create an alliance as the vets had preexisting feuds coming into the challenge, that the vets pushed them into it.
8. Zach slams Cara – they are good … the more and more I see of Zach, he is weak person, does not nice things and apologizes goes into Zach vs Paulie to Johnny commenting that Paulie is using Cara for his challenge career
9. Bear vs DaVonne vs Paulie
10. Kam & Leroy - talking about their relationship or lack of, thought it was mean of Leroy to kick Kam out of this home when he does not want a committed relationship
11. Wes & Davonne & knee in face & tweet …Wes does let Davonne talk without interrupting and then he speaks, both apologize
12. Zach & Wes & Bananas & Leroy – agreements, lying, working with Wes ---Leroy finally say about Zach lying, that he said crap about Cara and then apologizes there is a pattern
13. Zach & Zahida - everyone told Zahida that Zach was using her (to be sent home early as she was a weak player), it seems that they were all telling her the truth. Zach was very nice to Zahida, which was a surprise considering he brutalized his teammates his first challenge.
14. Kyle & Paulie
15. Georgia & Bear & cousin
16. Cara & Georgia & Bear & Davonne - Davonne can't shut up about how Cara got Georgia to the phone room to hear about Bear's cousin. Georgia was OK with it, but Davonne just couldn't drop it.
17. Hunter hooked up with Julia, Johnny and Morgan, Ashley and Zahida.
18. Johnny vs Davonne about taping up Amanda Davonne apologizes, all good, Cara asks question how is that different from the Gerogia/Bear issue, Davonne calls her a clown, Amanda calls her a trash bag - Does Cara really deserve this name calling ... I think it is totally unnecessary.
19. Amanda – Zach and Jenna - yuck
The big take aways:
Kam and DaVonne for relatively new contestants are rather prominently featured. Why? Both ladies are articulate in their soundbites. Kam is smart and strategic and provided some interesting moments, and she does well in challenges. DaVonne, has asthma but does not give up in the challenges, does not really cause fights, or use bad language. She sounds so confident and certain that she is right. I do not like how she thinks she had the higher moral ground even on that stupid opening argument with Kam and Theo. Control freak much?
Cara needs to learn to defend herself. Or stay off tweeter. One thing I have noticed is for as much drama that Johnny Bananas has caused in the house he stays off social media. He refused to discuss his and Morgan’s relationship. Cara on the other hand is setting herself up for hurt in how open she is about her feelings for Paulie and for participating in tweeter wars.
Johnny, Leroy, Zach, & Wes. This was all interesting as it revealed a previous existing agreement between Johnny and Zach. Zach does not look good in any interaction. In fact his entire challenge career is a joke as he is jeopardizing future partner’s games. It does explain his lack of success in the game. I do like that Leroy went off on Zach for his behavior toward Cara and toward the agreements he had with Johnny. Doing something and apologizing after is OK initially but doing dumb, hurtful things over and over again and thinking an apology is all you have to do is lame in the long run if you refuse to change your behavior.
