I've never watched this show before, but I got sucked into it this season! I needed something after The Amazing Race was over, & this is it.
I want to go back & watch some older seasons, just because. I literally have no "gotta see" TV right now aside from Below Deck.
I know more of the people on here than I thought. I remember Aneesa from RW Chicago (that was one of the last seasons I completely watched). Isn't she a little long in the tooth for this? And definitely out of shape! Not trying to be mean, just truthful.
CT is damn old for this too, but he looks like he's fit, at least.
I am saying this as a 49 y/o woman who is out of shape, lol.
I remember Jay from Survivor, & obviously Josh, Kaycee, Fessy, & Amber from BB.
So far I'm loving the drama, lol

I remember when Sara used to follow people like Kenny around like a lost puppy dog. I wonder why she isn't on the show anymore. No bananas this season. I'm surprised that Cara Maria has been away for a couple seasons now.
CT looks a little leaner this season than he had been for some time on the show. An older overweight CT is still a better challenger than the majority of other competitors though.

An older overweight CT is still a better challenger than the majority of other competitors though. Are you referring to Sarah Rice??? Cara Maria is taking a break she this is the second season she has not been on. However she won Bloodlines in 2016, took off the next season then appeared in the next 6 seasons (from 2017 to 2019), met her new boyfriend and seemed to become a toxic pariah and took another break. While CT finally lost some of his dad bode he as a way to good, however he is very gifted athletically and yes is bettor challenger than than the majority of the newbies. I do wish Aneesa would shut up about winning. I would take her seriously about wanting to win if she dropped about 80 lbs, did some serious cardio, worked on her endurance, quit smoking and drinking, and took up some serious weight lifting program. |

Fessy looked pretty bad in last night's episode - some backstabbing, cut throat and dirty play....seems to be 100% focused on the prize at the end, although it's a little early to be pissing off all your so-called friends and alliance members.  |

But no one can say he is playing a scared game. OK I have to give credit to Fessy for making a bold move. If the goal is to get a Gold Skull and there are only 10 available and he got the 4th Gold Skull of the 5 available to men he made the right move for his game. There is the possibility that the 10 Gold Skulls are up for grabs to any gender and not 5 for men and 5 for women. No one knows the rules to this game and the producers are obviously changing things up in a big way to the point you only can do what is best for your game one day at a time. At least he made a big mark and rocked the house and the game. I think his experience at not getting picked for a professional football career gave him the experience that no career or dream is necessarily a permanent thing and this might be his one shot at a million dollars. The preview had me laughing when Josh went off on Fessy stating "no one is scared of you". Josh, dear everyone is scared of Fessy. As a rookie last season he was a physical threat. He still is physical threat, can do puzzles, and has endurance, thankfully he has all that because based on the confessionals he has no personality. |

Wish I didn't have to see Josh again, I really think he is not mentally fit/competent for any reality show. They way he looses his temper is like Baby Huey. I had to look up a lot of the players and I can't believe they are still on this show. Wes, Aneesa and CT - CT is pushing 40! I wish MTV would re-run Real Word and Road Rules again, I loved those. I can't believe CT smokes! |

I found it comical that Nelson of all people was trying to advise Devin on how to treat girls.

I found it comical that Nelson of all people was trying to advise Devin on how to treat girls. He has an exit interview that I read and he trashed Tori and Fessy saying that they were basically sleeping with each other and everybody knew it. I luv how Nelson tries to play the White Knight with his partner and yet slut shames Tori. I have seen him do this over and over. When will he ever learn? |

Season 36 Episode 4 - "Duplicity" - January 6, 2021
I try to like Devin but he can be a big ASS and it is hard to.
Tori and Devin do make a good team but Devin is not interested in team building, his constant insult to Tori are a big clue.
Glad to see someone make a big move. So good for Fessy. It will be messy back at the house.
Josh. Is he on meds? Does he not take them?
Josh plays this game so stupidly it is so hard to believe it but his nonargument with Jay was insane. Why do you attack a friend, an ally, someone who is not coming after you, for no reason?
Josh is one of the people who would mess up anything. He is an idiot.

That is why I question Josh's mental development. This bothered me when he was on BB, it's not a normal type of unintelligence, it seems dangerous.
Poor Kaycee, she is going to be targeted with Fessy. But she is such a strong player it might mean she will get a golden skull.

But it is very dangerous as well. Josh going after Fessy again funny and laughable. I can totally see Josh going after someone in a club, or on the road and being shot in the head. The dude is big enough and aggressive enough that it would be self defense. There is something very, very wrong with him. |

The way he punched the siding? He is too big and can do too much damage for him to be in these kinds of situations. I'm surprised they kept him in the game after losing his temper like that.

But he hasn't physically gone after anyone yet. What is sad is the property damage he did to someone's home and that entire sheet of metal will have to be replaced. |

Did Tori cheat on another partner once again? I hope that isn't the case. I remember how heartbroken Derrick was and I felt really bad for him.

Tori was still engaged to Jordan when Double Agents was filmed. Nelson just did a sore loser, let's burn the house down, exit interview. I didn't take it seriously. In another interview I saw on YouTube Tori states that she and Jordan were having issues before Double Agents and the COVID lockdown meant they were on top of each other. Also they have been engaged for a year now, and living together for longer than that before the engagement. I wouldn't take any comments seriously unless more info comes to light. |

There were quite a few there that did, but most of the most challenges weren't even nearly intense as they are now. In the early seasons I watched, they didn't even give them any gear, aside from knee & elbow pads, for the most part. |

In the early seasons I watched, they didn't even give them any gear, aside from knee & elbow pads, for the most part. The one finale CT and Diem were in the lead, it was in Iceland or Greenland, some place very cold. They were racing against Johnny Bananas and Camila and they were well into the lead and CT collapsed, he simply could not go on and there was poor Diem yelling at CT to get up all the while Bananas and Camilla caught up to them and passed them. Aneesa has been a joke for a long time as she never works out and drinks red wine all day long. Even about 3 or 4 seasons ago the girls were all laughing at Aneesa when she was telling someone that she was going to workout when they have never seen her do it. Aneesa is famous for being in a finale with a male partner and not being able to keep up because she had no cardio endurance. She has gotten by on her ability to speak well, she fits the character of mixed race and mobile sexuality and she is strategic and political and a team player. No one wants her as a partner because they know she can't run a finale. Last season was the first I have ever seen her workout, but she is a good 60 to 80 pounds heavier then she was when she started her Challenge career. |

Must say the new format is forcing folks to make bold moves no one likes. I am having so much fun.
I do feel a bit sad for Kaycie saddled with two idiots (Josh and Fessy) in her Big Brother alliance.
Luv it when the rookies, especially the girls can put aside their cattiness and work together. OK normally I don't like the rookies doing anything as they are so arrogant and self centered and narcissistic (Swaggy) that I don't want them to succeed unless they have brutally suffered. The rookie guys are so worthless working together normally. However I do kinda like the Itty Bitty Crew.
So far the season has not been boring.

Oh, that is so sad about Natalie.
I was so happy that Kaycee got back with Leroy and shed Fessy, you are so right that she is saddled with two idiots.
CT and Big T are just the cutest. He is so likable with her. He's like her dad.

Aww, I feel sad for her. I hope to see her back on The Challenge because like her or not, she's a total badass. I didn't like her on The Amazing Race, but when she was on Survivor, I really got to like her. She's not annoying when her & her sister aren't shouting "twinnie" at each other all the time. Melissa was also pregnant on last season, but she didn't know it until the finale. ( I watched that season on VOD last week (or maybe it was the week before, whenever)) www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/melissa-reeves-realized-she-was-pregnant-during-the-challenge-final/ |

At first I thought aneesa might be trying to let tori catch up when she turned around completely to throw the balls. I'm not sure how that would be an accurate way to complete it. I guess she was just tired out though. It will be interesting to see how she does in the next episode with some amounts of running involved in the preview.

Season 36 Episode 5 - "Skyfall" - January 13, 2021
I can understand Cory being mad at Fessy, but in this game there is no loyalty. Since when were Cory, Nelson, and Fessy all best friends forever?
Josh is having his tantrum, interrupting the Cory and Fessy yelling match. I kinda wish he stayed out of it.
Devin continue to show poor game play and what a poor, poor imitation of Johnny Bananas he is.
Tori somehow has managed to offend all the rookie females in the house, as well as Big T.
I do like seeing Big T have a brain and glad all the rookie girls kept it together to achieve a brilliant outcome and have two vets go at it.
Aneesa, I have said this over and over again, while Aneesa can win a challenge, can win an elimination, has political and strategic skills, I don't think she will EVER win a finale unless she takes it seriously and train for it.

Season 36 Episode 6 - "From Theresa With Love" - January 20, 2021
Overall it was a great daily challenge, a mini finale and only 5 miles. Aneesa's eyerolls were priceless. This was the prefect opportunity to see how well you could work with and communicate with your partner. Ashley was great as she never gives up. Cory of course can't do puzzles and made stupid mistakes. Luv'ed that Jay and Theresa won. Big T you have never run? How do you expect to win a finale?
This is were the guys and girls can see what their competition is like and how well they can do.
No one can add to 38?
Lolo was a bitch to her partner. Lolo was a bitch to Theresa. Lolo is simply a bitch. She is so difficult.
Aneesa, this is why no one wants you as a partner, you have no endurance, and for some reason have not been crushing the puzzles lately. If you can't run, jog, waddle, or walk fast in this mini finale what makes anyone think you can compete at the finale. In fact I would want you there as it would be an easy win. Again it's not that Aneesa is not political, strategic, or able to win eliminations, its that she can't run and has no endurance and simply no heart to even do well in a mini finale challenge. However it was fun to see Feesy be miserable.
I liked Theresa's big move. Good for you. I don't know why Kam is mad at you, she got her Gold Skull. I do hope that neither Kam or Leroy get to the final or if they do, not win. Her arrogance is annoying.
It is so funny watching Leroy try to go outside his comfort zone and be the big badass boyfriend.
Cory, this game especially this season is setup so the teams have to lie. Why are you surprised? You are an idiot if you have any other expectation at this point.

Agreed on Lolo - she devastated her partner with her mean comments. He seems so sweet. She is not.
