Bear did good during the elimination, but I'm not sure how hitting Wes a bunch of times in the head was 'going for the ball'.
CT is still one of the tougest powerhouses on the show even when he shows up out of shape. Though I'm not sure why he doesn't try to be a little more active before the season.

I selfishly miss CT's hot bod. I'm always hoping when the new seasons start that he will be looking chiseled again.
Josh is the worst. He needs a muzzle. Everyone blamed it on Josh but Laurel voted Wes in too. I like watching Laurel compete but I don't like her personality. I also think it says a lot she is pining over Bear out of everyone. She already looked like an idiot with Nicole. I like Wes but he played way too hard too fast. They are a team right now. He needed to wait it out to play dirty. But it was absolutely ridiculous they put in one of their own. CT was right. They will self destruct all on their own. Theo is still a douche.

The entire purpose of making Josh the speaker was to show his loyalty to the team as they called him out for being disloyal because he cheered Georgia on during her elimination round. He doesn't get that he went back on his word to take out the strongest UK player. I for one would have luv'ed to have seen an elimination between Theo and Bear. Josh just made himself a target and someone who you cannot trust to keep to a plan. It is way stupid to eliminate one of your own this early in the game. It always backfires for the winning team. Survivor is a great example of this strategy backfiring. Does anyone really think Josh, Nany, or Bear really have any chance of winning a finale if they were so lucky to get into one? It is obvious that Wes was not at his best. There was a virus everyone caught the first couple of days and it looked as if Wes was not over it. I do hate that Wes is targeted as a schemer because everyone does it. Wes was not sneaking around when he said what he say about Josh. He did it in a room full of people. While Bear maybe entertaining. I do not find him so. His antics piss people off. It was funny to see that no one trusts him to be in a leadership position for his team. Any comments on the UK team cheating during the challenge? Any comments on Bear trying to bang Wes's brains out instead of getting the ball during elimination?

Season 34 Episode 1 - "The British Are Coming!" - August 28, 2019
Looks as if the episodes will be 90+ minutes this season.
Opening shot looks like the beginning of a Vietnam War movie or M*A*S*H.
The cast is really hamming up the USA vs UK theme. Knowing the producers they will throw some twists into the season.
USA Pros: experience, physicality, can work together as a team during challenges Cons: can't get along, BIG EGOS, BIG MOUTHS
U:K Pros: few previous rivalries, some physicality Cons: don't have experience, don't know how to work together
After the meet and greet the teams go directly into a challenge:
The UK is faster but USA sneakier and shows their experience with Laurel holding up 2 or 3 of the UK girls so they can't finish their runs.
After the challenge Bear immediately starts chatting up Laurel.
Instead of a Tribunal made up of folks who performed the best, you can basically tell TJ you are the Speaker and you pick two other people to be part of the tribunal and you get to listen to the loosing team vote on who to send into elimination. The beauty of the tribunal is you can pick the other person to go into elimination from either team.
UK votes in Sean - rookie - winner of his season of Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands
The Tribunal - Jordan, Laurel, Wes - votes in Idris - a professional boxer - Love Island UK 4
The elimination arena is called the Proving Ground.
Proving Ground game: Pole Wrestle: Players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on a pole. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of his opponent's hands two out of three times, wins. Originally from The Duel.
Sean is eliminated. Sean seems to be too nice for the challenge and a bit overwhelmed by it.
The cast is very large 32 players, 16 guys and 16 gals. Down to 31 players, 15 guys and 16 gals.

I think it is concerning that Laurel has been on the tribunal twice in the first three episode. Jordan picked her the first time and then Josh. I would hate to give Laurel that kind of power.

Season 34 Episode 2 - "God Save the Queen" - September 4, 2019
One thing I will say about Johnny Bananas he can see a challenge and always find a way to play it smart. In this case just put all the letters into the puzzle so the person in the crossbow can be sent out to get the raft with the cryptic puzzle back to their base. Don't shout out answers.
Wes went to the hospital as he was sick.
I was shocked that CT who is a puzzle person could not figure out the words on the UK side or was he too busy trying to wrangle his team?
Luv'ed that Kam just spoke out and pronounced herself the Speaker. The Tribunal: Ashley, Kam, Paulie. Strategy take out a strong female player. UK voted in Big T and Tribunal voted in Georgia.
I was hoping Georgia would be eliminated and was shocked as I think everyone was how well Big T did in the challenge.
Zahida Allen - UK - received news that her grandmother died and Zahida left the show
Faith Stowers - USA - Vanderpump Rules - leaves show before elimination after blow up with Bear
Tula "Big T" Fazakerley - UK - eliminated
The cast down to 28 players, 15 guys and 13 gals.

Season 34 Episode 3 - "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" - September 11, 2019
Before the challenge there was a team meeting to talk about strategy. Everyone came down on Josh for cheering for Georgia during the previous elimination. To prove himself they made him the speaker if they win the next challenge and he has to vote for a strong male player. Both Joss and Theo's names were thrown out but the impression was Theo was preferred.
Paddlewheel Puzzle Challenge was very difficult and the US had a bad time. Johnny B again helps save the day by having everyone try to open a lock with one set of numbers. Guaranteed that one lock will open.
UK declared winner. However, the UK actually broke two of the locks and they forfeit their win.
The Tribunal: Josh, Laurel, Zach
UK Team votes in Bear. This is the perfect time to send in Bear against Theo.
Back at the house Wes, Kam, and other were talking to Josh about sending Theo and Josh starts to play scared and gets into an argument with Wes. Laurel uses what Wes says against him and Josh sends Wes into elimination. This is so stupid at this point.
Elimination:
You can tell Wes is not into it. He had been hospitalized earlier due to the bacterial virus cast-mates picked up at the start of the season. He is not trying and is eliminated. I am surprised no one called Bear on trying to break Wes's head several times during the challenge.
27 players left: 14 guys and 13 gals.

MTV is doing an After the Challenge show but it is on YouTube at MTV's The Challenge.
I was very surprised that Jordan made a comment that he regretted picking Ninja instead of Dee for Team USA that it was a mistake and that Ninja was useless. Diplomatic Jordan is not.

Post by Bearcata on Sept 19, 2019 3:37:16 GMT
I noticed for the seasons Jordan was on and so was Cara he would bad mouth her every chance he got. Now that Ninja, another strong female is on the challenge he is doing the same to Ninja, bad mouthing her every chance he gets. Johnny is too. One thing about Ninja she knows her own mind and will not be swayed by being the presence of such magnificent males as Jordan and Bananas. The males of course retaliate by bad mouthing the ladies.
Josh is probably the only person on the entire challenge that thinks (and I am sure it hurts the one brain cell he has) that Cara is the one controlling Paulie and is a bad influence.

"Laurel and her notebook are the most intimidating duo on the challenge." Wow. Laurel blew up Wes's game in five seconds but then managed to blow up her own faster! Laurel and Bananas know they don't run the game anymore so they tried to play messy and failed miserably. Laurel celebrating her proving ground win like the cocky bitch she is and then losing was my version of dessert. I hope this is a lesson for USA to stick to the damn formula and win the comps as a team! I guess bulky Zach is gone for good. That boy is so skinny now. Someone please put a muzzle on Josh. He is excruciating!!

lol @ that terrible swimming from esther, cara, and ninja.
It seems like the only way for team UK to compete with the US is for the US team to keep throwing their own teammates in the elimination or by throwing challenges. Coward move from Paulie.

Josh picking Wes was also a coward move. I don't know if Paulie planned to pick Bananas all along(I assume so), or if Cara's fake crying got to him. When is someone going to change teams?
I don't think any challenger is going to be able to take down Jenny in a physical challenge, especially since Laurel is finished.

Season 34 Episode 4 - "Benedict Laurel" - September 18, 2019
I have never though throwing a challenge to get rid of someone is a good idea especially when you are not in absolute control of selecting who goes into elimination. It is never a good idea to reduce you team numbers this early in the game. You both start with 16 team members. Before the challenge 1 UK guy (Sean), 2 UK gals (Zahida, Big T) have left leaving the UK 13 strong. Only 1 US gal has left (Faith) leaving the US team with 15 players. All players are participating, in some challenges there will be players of the less populated team that will have to do more then one leg of an event. This is way too early to throw challenges especially in the challenge where there is potential of twists in the game.
I must say I totally detest that Laurel, Jordan, and Bananas get all upset with Wes making alliances. Bananas did the same think early in Challenge history when he had his henchmen and they ruled the house and the game. Partly I think because Bananas saw early on that was a great way to stay out of elimination and he saw the Challenge as a potential money maker for himself as long as it will last.
UK Tribunal Dee, Georgia, Idris. Georgia did not want to vote Laurel in because she has a good, kind heart. Georgia vote her in because she is a strong player, duh!
Vote - Laurel, Cara Maria, Laurel.
I totally luv'ed it, luv'ed it, luv'ed it when the UK tribunal voted in Laurel.
Luv'ed it, luv'ed it, luv'ed it, when Ninja went back up the after Laurel won checking for extra holes and back down again and found the missing branch holders on both trees, pointed it out to the producers and went back up the tree to win the elimination round. This ranks up there with CT wearing Bananas like a packback.
Winner: first is was Laurel, then it was Ninja. After reviewing the tapes the producers stated that Ninja won. I do think if Ninja had not done her investigation and realized what had happened and had accepted the defeat it would have been Laurel winning that elimination. I have seen interviews with Laurel claiming that since TJ blew the horn that meant she won, but in I am so glad Ninja did her due diligence.
26 Players left: 14 guys, 12 gals.
Eliminated so far: 1 UK guy, 2 UK gals, 1 US guy, 2 US gals
Players left: UK 13, US 13 ... if Wes had not been thrown in and Laurel not thrown in the US would have been up two players with the US at 15 and the UK at 11 players. I just really wish Theo had been sent into elimination with Bear the previous episode. I do not want to see either of those two in a finale.
First Time EVER I totally agree with the phrase "Karma" that is overly used in this series.

Season 34 Episode 5 - "In Paulie We Trust" - September 25, 2019 UK Girls | Time | US Girls | Time | UK Guys | Time | US Guys | Time | Jenny | 3:48 | Tori | 4:33 | Joss | 3:44 | Jordan | 3:15 | Georgia | 4:20 | Ashley | 4:37 | Kyle | 4:13 | Paulie | 3:17 | Nicole | 4:33 | Cara Maria | 5:07 | Rogan | 4:22 | Bananas | 3:29 | Kayleigh | 5:28 | Nany | 5:31 | CT | 4:36 | Josh | 3:36 | Dee | 5:50 | Kam | 6:42 | Theo | 4:49 | Zach | 3:48 | Esther | 8:31 | Ninja | 8:06 | Idris | 6:14 | Thurbo | 4:54 | | | | | Bear | none | Leroy | none | | 32:30 | | 34:36 | | 27:48 | | 22:19 |
Final time UK = 60:06 Final time US = 57:07 Leroy and Bear's times were not given but the US beat the UK by 1:17. This means Bear could have averaged 4:30 and Leroy 6 minutes and the US still win. For as much as Cara Maria was being mocked she was the third fastest US girl and overall place 6th in a field of 12 females. After the challenge the UK girls were just over 2 minutes faster then the US girls. The US Guys solidly beat the UK guys by 5 plus minutes. Tribunal: Team USA - Cara Maria, Jordan, Paulie UK voted in: Theo Tribunal voted in: Bananas mmmmm....Laurel and Bananas decide to throw a challenge, Laurel gets voted in and eliminated last week and then Bananas gets voted in and eliminated. Bananas confession before the elimination sounded shady as he commented that he could not tell the difference between roman numerals. This is six - VI and this is seven - VII, I am wondered if he blew the elimination???? 25 Players left: 13 guys, 12 gals. Eliminated so far: 1 UK guy, 2 UK gals, 2 US guy, 2 US gals Team US, quit fighting and start beating the UK. Get rid of Bear and Theo and other strong guys.

I do not like the tribunal concept this season. Damn what are the odds Bananas makes a dumb mistake like Laurel and loses. Still cannot stand Cara. I'd like to see Paulie play the game alone than with her one day.

Post by Bearcata on Oct 3, 2019 4:09:32 GMT
Nany you are safe this round and next why are you so worried about Jenny. You will never beat her. The only way Nany will ever win a challenge is if all the strong players are gone. Nany is an idiot.
I do think Esther has more heart than Nicole. Seriously, I think Nicole had a shot against Jenny in this challenge.

Post by Girly18 on Oct 3, 2019 16:54:22 GMT
I think I've only seen her on my screen once but I'm glad Nicole didn't give up! Thankfully Leroy played smart and didn't follow Nany. The thing with Nany is, she has only made it far in past challenges because she was carried by another male. Which is fine, but she's on her own this season so if she wants to be taken seriously she not only needs to train and be better but also have some balls. I watched the Paulie and Josh fight about 10 times. I had to see it from every angle and the look on each persons face. They are both little men.

Every season Nany has a moment and again and again it's the same speech. It's so early in the game there are over 20 players left. The best way to keep safe is for your team to win it protects both the girls and guys.
Elimination record: 10 (3 wins, 7 losses)

Season 34 Episode 6 - "One Nation Under Leroy" - October 2, 2019 It is always painful to see how stupid the challengers are and I am sadly disappointed by the UK Team.
Tribunal: Team USA - Leroy, Nany, Ninja
UK Team voted in: Nicole
Tribunal voted in: Jenny
I am happy that Leroy stood up and tried to be the voice of reason and be the first speaker that actually spoke for the US team and not his own game. I think that strategy will save him for a while.
Am I the only one who thinks Josh is incredibly stupid? How does he function in real life.
Luv'ed the elimination, I was hoping that Nicole would be able to beat Jenny. Nicole has shown before that she does not like heights, and now has a touch of claustrophobia. I don't think she does well under pressure. Is it really saying that much that she swam faster then Kayleigh, Dee, and Esther. Outside of being friends with Georgia did she really add to the team. Lets face it Jenny and Georgia are the top females on the UK Team.
24 Players left: 13 guys, 11 gals.
Eliminated so far: 1 UK guy, 3 UK gals, 2 US guy, 2 US gals
Or 3 guys gone and 5 girls gone.

Because she didn't give directions well? What about Zach being a douche to Ninja? She is short and it would be impractical for her to carry the pyramid. Glad Bear went home, it is cocky and the reason he is picked every time there is a boys elimination is that is annoys the heck out of everyone. What is wrong with Joss?

Ninja is annoying person in general. I'm glad US didn't vote in a teammate but it was ridiculous how Cara and Josh were upset that Turbo might when they both did the same. Chicken Jordan has always been a prick but he messed with the wrong dude. Turbo is nothing but a mirror for Jordan so I found it funny that every negative thing Jordan said about Turbo was actually about himself. Tori is marrying Jordan. I hope he doesn't dim her light. I got second hand embarrassment from Rogan. Man up boy! So happy I don't have to hear Bear anymore. But he's got heart so he'll be back. The look on TJ's face when Joss pulled down his pants.

Geez Georgia is always crying. It actually makes me cringe when Cara and Paulie have that smug look on their faces. Yuck. Ninja is hanging with the big kids so she thinks she can manage her own friend. Dee had nothing to apologize for. Ninja, Ashley, Cara putting the blame on Dee was too much. The egos are at an all time high. Esther did amazing in the tribunal! She is what The Challenge is about. Kyle must have kicked himself when he knew he made a mistake leaving the heavy one for the end. Theo was denied to go on The Challenge 35 which starts filming next week bc of his eye. Watching him compete and knowing what happened is sad. He said that there is a chance his sight will come back within a year.
