Nany definitely needs to chill. She's been safe every week without having to truly worry. Leroy has done good by her. Seems like it's more than him being in Cara's cult but also her best friend getting back together with Kam. She probably knows the ends and outs of that relationship so she doesn't trust her and knows Kam doesn't like her. Kam said it herself she wants Leroy to say she is his #1 and that's why she was picking fights with him at the club. That's the Kam I remember when she was on AYTO. She was also in a triangle and became mean with the other girl.
I love Tori so much. She kicked ass!

Absolutely and she has not had to compete in the last two challenges because of the numbers being off between the teams. If she keeps quiet she has a guaranteed ride to the final. I don't get that she is not happy with that. But as much as I do like her at times she is a complete idiot. Josh is in a similar boat, he is being taken to the final his name is not really dropped and yet he gets angry about how he is getting there and gets angry at Cara and tries to argue with her. Again stupid, stupid move.

It looked like Leroy and Kam might be the pair going home because of Leroy being very slow at swimming, but they were able to make it through. The UK team's decision to keep layup Kayleigh backfired as Joss and Kayleigh were eliminated from the show right away after having the slowest swimming times, because of Kayleigh's terrible attempt at swimming. Cara was also really bad at the swimming challenge, and Paulie questioned whether she wants to even compete in this season any longer. Dee had a chance to get back at Logan by voting for him to be put into the elimination, but she was gullible and chose Jordan instead. Jordan destroyed the competition once again in the elimination and Tori and him look tough to beat.
By the way, what exactly happens if the three tribunal people each choose a different person?

I never thought Dee sucked so her doing great in the challenge didn't surprise me. Not sure why they insist she is the weakest. I guess mostly because of the run/pool incident. Rogan is a piece of crap but that was obvious from day one. It's one thing for Dee to not have trusted her instincts and realized she got played but then to go back to him and keep his ass safe?!?! Love yourself girl. Who the hell is Ninja to even get in the tribunal when you were automatically safe because you didn't participate in the challenge. Oh yeah Cara's cult. But then to question Jordan about irrelevant crap. I'm sorry, she is such an annoying little loser. Kayleigh proving she sucks and taking Joss down with her was poetic justice. Happy for Leroy! Josh gave it his all. I'm glad he got less annoying as the season went on too. Why is Cara so damn miserable this season when she is running the game? She must have some internal shit going on. She is too dark for me.

She is too dark for me. What irrelevant crap? I thought it was a good question and I wanted to know and this was her opportunity to get some kind of honest answer without too much reality fake talk. Zach is an idiot he picks a female to denigrate every season. I have seen him to it over and over again. I have seen the guys on this show every season totally put the females down time and time again and the girls except it. I think it stinks. Who is Zach again. The quitter. The fence sitter. The crier because the final is to hard. Zach has no moral high ground to stand on especially after the shady stuff he did to Bananas. He opinion matters as much as Jordan saying who or who is not a champion because he says so.

What is it that we are not seeing? This always gets me about Cara Maria is that every season they say Cara can't run but all I have seen each episode is a lot of people working out and I have seen Cara running with Tori and others. So why is it always Cara can't run????

But they have done that several times already. I was watching some Youtube with Joss Mooney, and he seems too nice, a good physical player. He needed Sylvie to help him with the political part of the game in Final Reckoning and he needed the alliance to help him in War of the Worlds 2 to almost get to the end.

Season 34 Episode 13 - "Dee-Day" - November 20, 2019
Absolutely shocked that Joss and Kayleigh lost the swim and that Leroy and Kam beat them. I simply cannot believe it and it is so bad that they did not post any times. Josh is the fastest UK male swimmer although Jordan, Paulie, Josh, and Zach are faster. Kayleigh did post a faster time then Kam during the last swim challenge and Leroy is just bad. I could not believe that Josh did not grab Kayleigh's vest and pull her along as other partners did. The rules obviously allowed it. I would luv to see the times on that as if MTV will ever show it. Tori 4:33 Ashley 4:37 Cara Maria 5:07 Kayleigh 5:28 Nany 5:31 Dee 5:50 Kam 6:42 Ninja 8:06
These were the times for the remaining girls from the last swim challenge, Kayleigh was faster than Kam. With Kayleigh being partnered with Joss and Kam with Leroy it seemed a sure thing that Joss and Kayleigh would survive the purge.
I never understood "Dee is weak". We don't see everything but what the producers have shown us every episode is Dee working out as well as the other girls. The only girl I have never seen filmed working out is Nany and am amazed how well she does in challenges. Same with the comment "Cara can't run". I see her run every episode and usually in the pack with Tori.
Tribunal: Team USA - Ashley, Ninja, Zach
Luv'ed that Ninja asked Jordan about his behavior. He actually was not that much of a douche in how he responded and I kinda appreciated that. Jordan is very cocky, and arrogant and thinks he can verbally abuse and bully anyone into doing his bidding. While he is a very remarkable athlete, I totally understand his teammates wanted him off any team he was a part of otherwise his teammates would kill him.
I must admit I was impressed with Josh and his strength and his determination in this elimination. Not so much his smarts. What is painful is that he didn't get that and just blames the folks who voted him in. How the heck did he win Big Brother? Was everyone dumber than him? That is a sad commentary on America and that is who the world sees representing us. No wonder they think the US is weak.

Josh was carried to the end of Big Brother because everyone thought they could beat him. The only reason he won was because the voters hated the other guy he was up against.

I just wish Zach would shut up. What has he ever brought to the show except being rude and derogatory to female competitors. Zach was given a free ride to the final as was Nany and yet all they did was complain, complain, complain. Can you imagine them in charge of anything. Total dictators.
What really amazes is this is the first challenges in years that Zach has actually committed to and STAYED for the entire season instead of finding an excuse to leave.

Looks as if the finale will be a two parter.
I just know the challenge producers will be throwing in a twist or two.
The previews show that the finale or part or it will be a 16 mile race. That sounds way too easy.

I see what you mean, but I don't know if they could be any worse than Cara's Cult. Most of that alliance were given free rides this season. I was glad that CT finally made a decision on his own, but he should have done it sooner. lol @ Logan trying to give Ashley a hug after voting her in.

Season 34 Episode 14 - "Declaration of Independence" - November 27, 2019
Team UK has to form a Tribunal and immediately vote in a female into elimination. CT is voted in as speaker. Big Move, CT picks Tori to be part of the tribunal instead of voting her into elimination. Tribunal: Team UK - CT, Rogan, Tori
The Tribunal votes in Ashley for elimination.
Team USA votes in Nany for elimination. Surprisingly the race between the ladies is pretty even. However Ashley did get lost coming down the mountain after finishing the first leg, and she still beat Nany back up the mountain on the second leg. But the difference between the two ladies is that Ashley does puzzles well and figured out the pattern very very quickly. Then we get to see Nany blame her team for betraying her. I mean they carried her to the last challenge. Nany had both Josh and Leroy looking out for her. She had to do some of the work. Even if this girl made it to the final and won she would still be disgruntled because she didn't like how it was done. High maintenance.
Who is left:
Team UK: CT, Jordan, Rogan, Tori, Dee
Team US: Leroy, Zach, Paulie, Ninja, Cara, Ashley, Kam
Technically Rogan is the only Brit left as CT and Dee came on as mercenaries.
I give kudos to the CC Alliance as it technically has decimated the original Team UK.
32 people started this season, 12 are left. 6 men and 6 women. 3 UK men remain, 3 US men remain, 2 UK ladies, and 4 US ladies.
Looking at it from a big picture point of view you have a team of five vs a team of seven. That can be good or bad as the smaller team may have to do double duty on some tasks. However, the smaller UK team has some very good people. The issue with Team UK is does CT have the endurance to complete a final. He has gassed out before and he does have a dad bod now and Jordan has accused him of using the show to lose weight. Hey Jordan, CT is FITFAT and fabulous. Then there is Dee who is short, afraid of height and not the best swmmer. Team UK has shown all season it cannot work well together. Can the remaining members finally do so?
Then there is Team USA, a team who can work well together, even when they hate each other. You have a base group that looks good. The only weakness at this point is the lack of swimming ability for the females. I know Cara can run a final. I know Ashley can run a final. I know Ninja can run a final. Can Kam? I know Zach can run a final and I know Zach can fail miserably on a final. Leroy who knows. Paulie who knows. Is Team USA too big?

I was glad that CT finally made a decision on his own, but he should have done it sooner. lol @ Logan trying to give Ashley a hug after voting her in. Many veterans over the years have been in alliances that gave them free rides. That is a given in the game. Johnny Bananas is an expert creating alliances that keep him out of any eliminations. The man is a social political animal and knows how to win finals but sucks at eliminations. Seriously if Zach, Jordan, or Josh had been in charge they would have thrown in Ninja and Cara Maria every female elimination because in their opinions, those two girls are the weakest. I am glad CT made a stand and he had to. At this point in the game it is supposed to be a team vs team final, which I would not be surprised if there is a twist and it is every man for him or herself at the end. TPTB are twisted like that. The UK Team has been cut to the best players who potentially can beat the larger clunkier US Team. I think it was a brilliant move and CT had to do it. However much everyone is yelling in each confessionals that they want a million dollars if that money is divided between all the players the US Team will take home 85,744 each after paying federal taxes and the UK Team will take home 120,000 each after paying federal taxes. I personally don't want to see this challenge pay for Tori and Jordan's wedding, future home, or future babies. I will not be surprised if there will be a decision for one player on the winning team to keep the money for themselves. Regarding the phrase Cara's Cult, I do think much of what happened is fueled by Paulie not Cara. I always wonder about the hatred the players have for Cara and that she always gets the blame. If a guy did what she did he would be lauded in the Challenge Halls of Fame but since Cara is a female let's just trash her. I wonder how much of Zach's nastiness toward Cara this season is that she beat him in Vendettas?

I get how smart Cara's cult was to run the game but it took the fun out of what I enjoy about The Challenge. It became Big Brother with one side of the house picking everyone off and becoming predictable which makes a whole lot of sense since Paulie read Big Brother legend Derrick Levasseur's book to prepare for this season. I know The Challenge is mental, political, and physical but I watch to see the best compete with the best. It's annoying as it is we have too man new cast members that I don't who can't win a damn challenge! CT's surprise nomination was so good! THAT's what I finally needed. Zach laughing was me laughing. We have a good set of strong people in the final so it will be interesting to see who bites the dust and who completes it. I replayed Paulie passing out on the ground a few times on the preview. Wouldn't that be something if Cara/Paulie tank it?

Why did they show a clip in the very beginning of tonight's episode with TJ mentioning that only four of each team will be moving on to the next part of the final? Why not save that surprise for the viewers when it actually happens next week?
If the other team(Paulie) keeps trying to swerve and stop you from getting by, I'm not sure why you should get a penalty for barging through.

If the other team(Paulie) keeps trying to swerve and stop you from getting by, I'm not sure why you should get a penalty for barging through. CT physically touched the Team US litter, he pushed it aside. TJ clearly stated at the beginning neither team was to sabotage the other teams litter, otherwise there would be a time penalty. I guess there could be shoving people but not shoving the litter. What is up with Paulie passing out? Kam not giving water to the person suffering heat stroke is not good advice. I wish Zach would shut up his attitude slows the team down. I hate his constant blaming Cara and Ninja for everything. He is an idiot. There was enough drama they didn't need to reveal the twist. At this point it looks as if Paulie and maybe Cara if she goes back to help Paulie are out of the game. It would be funny if the UK Team voted Jordan out.

Paulie gassing out is what we see time and time again with challengers first time final. Always brutal to watch. What a bummer for the UK to be kicking ass then CT screws them by 10 minutes. The good thing is US is still behind and will get penalties for carrying the bags. Damn, a puzzle to secure your fate. I have anxiety already!

Season 34 Episode 15 - "A Tale of Two Countries" - December 4, 2019
Part 1 of the season finale.
This is a two day final.
Day 1 both teams race 4 times around a 4 mile course carrying a gurney filled with 20 lb sandbags. There is a bag for each team member.
Team UK has 5 members so they are carrying 100lbs of sandbags plus a relic head plus the weight of the gurney.
Team USA had 7 members so they are carrying 140lbs of sandbags plus a relic head plus the weight of the gurney.
Every 4 miles or one lap, there is a checkpoint where the team can put down their gurney and do a task. After the task is completed the teams can reshuffle who is carrying the gurney.
Checkpoints:
1. Catapult 3 coconuts into a wire bowl 2. Math Equation 3. Eating Challenge - you can opt out of eating, you have 3 chances to toss a coconut into a bowl 4. episode ends before the last checkpoint
The winner of this leg will gain an advantage for the second leg.
This episode only showed the first 3 laps of the race. Both teams were doing the fourth leg when Paulie collapsed and of course they producers paused at that cliffhanger.
Zach was yelling alot at the girls, especially Ninja and Cara for being weak players. I find this offensive especially as many bloggers were too lazy to really make up their own minds and where shouting this from every review and digital magazine possible. It is hard for a team of four to carry a gurney easily when the guys are 6 foot and the girls 5 ft plus. Dud! However I do wonder about the weak players the US got rid off? Faith, Laurel, Nany, Tori, Wes, Bananas, Josh, Jordan. I do think that many of those players are interchangeable in regards to their physical conditioning.

In the preview for next week they show TJ making a comment that there will be a purge and that the two teams will be purges to 4 each and the winning team will split the million 4 ways. First of all that is a crappy way of revealing a huge twist and it should have been done BETTER. There was enough going on with Paulie potentially collapsing that new information did not need to be revealed. The fans are gonna watch regardless. I do wonder if it will even be a bigger twist and somehow the top eight players will end up forming two teams. This game can be twisty that way.
At this point if the purge is based on alliances I can see Team UK voting either Jordan or Tori. 'cause it is Ct, Rogan, Dee vs Jordan and Tori.
On the Team USA it is trickier. Zach is the odd man out in regards to the alliance, there is the potential of Paulie being eliminated, then who turns on who?
Or it could be based on the top 2 guys and top 2 girls on each team and how would that be determined depends on what ever weird criteria the producers come up with.
Or it could simply be some kind of checkpoint and the first 8 finishers create their own teams.
Chris "CT" Tamburello - strength, swims, puzzles - does he have the endurance Jordan Wiseley - strength, swims, puzzles, endurance Leroy Garrett - unknown - can't swim Paulie Calafiore - gassing out Rogan O'Connor - unknown Zach Nichols - strength, swim, puzzle, - has gassed out in previous challenges
Ashley Mitchell - runner, swims, puzzles - 2 time winner Cara Maria Sorbello - endurance, puzzles, - panics, can't swim, can't do math - two time winner Dee Nguyen - has heart - can't swim - can she do puzzles - not so good at math Kam Williams - never ran a final - can't swim Natalie "Ninja" Duran - can't swim - done a final Tori Deal - runner, swimmer, smart - done a final
When I see the players listed this way they all have strengths and weaknesses. It will be interesting.

Good to see that the UK team won. I would have rather seen Leroy in part 2 for team USA than some of the others that made it since he put in a big contribution to the team in the first part of the final.

Only a 10 minute penalty for US after they switched players, carried the bags, and had more than four people carrying the gurney?! Very happy US lost but feel bad Leroy didn't get his first win. Damn, it would have been so perfect if Tori had made it to the final stage!! She worked her butt off. It was so satisfying watching Paulie struggle. He took it like a champ though and didn't give up. I've been listening to interviews from the cast who were asked about Cara's behavior this season (it's also in the interview with Jordan above). They say that the Cara we are seeing has always been the Cara they know. She was always given the victim underdog edit but she has always been this awful of a person. Also, the reason Cara and Paulie were not asked to be on the new season was because Paulie was making agressive threats about the cast on twitter. I am ready for the reunion!
