I have seen many acts of violence on the show, much alcohol fueled and the castmate got a warning from TJ. The famous rages of The Camillanator destroying furniture come to mind and nothing happens. Camilla face to face with Leroy being verbally abusive and spitting out racial slurs and she stays on the show. Which is why when Dee made a comment about "All Lives Matter" in a tweet during the height of the BLM protests and not on the show resulting in a permanent ban from the show I was very confused. It does seem MTV bans people when it is convenient for them and that there is no consistent policy. Lets face it if Camilla had not physically assaulted a production assistant off camera she would still be on the show.

Episode 12 - "500" - October 27, 2021
Nelson needs to grow up and realize that not everything everyone else does is about Nelson. Nelson is not a big picture thinker, well he is not a thinker at all. Nelson has not been eliminated from the game. He is in a good position with Ruby, with Cory and Logan. If Nelson gets thrown into the game he has an equal chance against almost anyone except maybe CT. Those are not bad odds.
Kyle did what he had to. But Amanda is the one they really need to call a snake with how she snaked Emy and Bettina.
Tori was so cocky this episode I hoped someone would smack her in the head with a bag.
I am surprised the producers are not sitting players out to make it a fair game numbers wise during the daily challenges.
I had hoped Bettina would have survived, and maybe Emy could have called out Big T.
I am hoping to see Emerald be ripped apart.
On the MTV Aftermath Show Devin reveals that the Emerald Cell wanted to keep Amanda and Big T split between the Ruby and Sapphire Cells as Emerald considered Amanda and Big T "anchors", weaker players that would weigh each cell down.
Next week is a male elimination I hope either Ruby or Sapphire wins the daily challenge.

On this weeks MTV Aftermath Darrell was a guest and Devyn Simone asked him to compare the Challenge now to the Challenge then and he said "there were no rules". Which explains a lot of the drama.

Some weird characters on this season I will say. Hughie, Emy, etc. Is Emy trying to further her music career?
They were spending too much time with the big brother alliance storyline, I found it to be rather boring. Also, how did Josh win big brother? I haven't seen much of that show in general before, but aren't some of the people on it usually at least somewhat intelligent? If Josh can win, it must not be that tough to pull off.

I think he won because the housemates hated the other guy so much they voted for Josh to win.

Lol queens, I watched that season, but completely forgot what happened and how Josh won. He is not one of my favorites, that is for sure.
I wonder if they will have players sit out as they do in Survivor to make it even?
That was hard to watch, what the hell was Bettina doing? Her actions made no sense.

Episode 13 - "Titanic" - November 3, 2021
I was really hoping Ruby or Sapphire would win this episode, Emerald needs to be broken. I do wonder how Ruby can even function now with only three people, Nelly T, Big T and Amanda. If Emerald wins next week and it is a girls week what happens you only have Ashley, Emy, Big T, and Amanda left. At this point it looks as if Big T's days are numbered because everyone does think of her as a layup. Ashley and Emy are unlikely to infiltrate Emerald if they get sent into elimination, but if either Big T or Amanda are sent into elimination and either win they would be stupid to stay in Ruby. Will Emy lay down and be Emerald's tool again?
I did think the Emerald's strategy if there is an infiltration and they are placed on another team that all they have to do is sabotage that team get the house vote into elimination and win the elimination challenge in not a guarantee. Devin and Josh are not the best elimination players and Emanuel has never been. Nany and Tori are also not the best elimination players. Their cockiness is annoying. If the producers only let the same number of people play in each daily instead of sending in a 6 member Emerald vs 4 member Sapphire vs a 5 member Ruby would Emerald be still winning? Next week you will have a 6 member Emerald vs 4 member Sapphire vs 3 member Ruby, how is any of that fair? Even if fairness is not a consideration it makes for a very unbalanced competition. I would luv to see a Kaycee vs Emy elimination but that is unlikely to happen, let's face it any female going into elimination that is not Big T will be eying Big T as an easy win in elimination. At this stag breaking up Emerald has to happened during a female elimination day and the following male elimination day.
To be honest if I never see Logan again I won't miss him as I would have forgotten him. Not very memorable. No matter what you say about Josh and Fessy you have a reaction to them and you remember who they are.
Oh, anyone notice the total hypocrisy of Josh protecting Logan a rookie over a vet, when he went postal over Cory protecting Jeremiah and accusing Cory of breaking the Vet Alliance. Can we say double standard much?
I do not like all the female bashing this show does as far as the males constantly bash the females. How Ruby treated Amanda. There is a certain point when it is not a girls elimination and you tell a certain girl, Amanda, to stay out of the way and do nothing, don't blame her when you lose. Nelly and Cory don't have a brain between the two of them. So when Ruby does not win it is all Amanda's fault. No, it is the fault of the team leaders, looking at you Cory and Nelly. For the constant mouthing of team, team, team, being loyal to your team, you guys suck when it comes to being any kind of team player with the females on your team. Ruby and Emerald were the two contenders for winning the daily challenge, if Amanda had helped instead of being told to do nothing would that have made a difference. Nelly's lame apology at nomination means nothing as it is a pattern of behavior that is repeated over and over again. If you mouth off at a female and she responds to those negative words and you apologize, do you really thing all is forgiven because or forgotten. Not unless you truly change that behavior.
Previews indicate Amanda might be in a position to infiltrate Emerald. This might be an very interesting possibility. Let us say that Amanda does infiltrate Emerald next week. I would be happy and I think many other viewers would also be. Would Emerald deliberately lose a challenge to throw Amanda into elimination? Well, all I know is that something needs to happen as I do not want to see any of that team in a final mostly Emanuel and Kaycee.

It seems that the consensus from most of the house is that they don't think Amanda cares that much about winning. Her skills at stirring up drama are definitely higher than her skills as a challenger.

I agree with you about Logan. He is very unmemorable. And he just dropped Big T after she called him her 'soul mate' and then we don't hear anything further? They just moved on? I was really hoping that Cory would win - Emerald needs a shakeup. Also, Bearcata, you are so right about the double standards! I didn't even think of it until you pointed it out.
I really don't want to hear anything from Kyle being on Ruby. Sapphire hasn't won either, so shut it and Ruby would have one a challenge if it weren't for you, Kyle.

I have to go listen to MTV official podcast and to the Bananas one, turns out that Amanda made a deal with Devin/Emerald to mess up the daily challenge for Ruby in exchange for Emerald not voting Nelson into elimination. AHA! There was also another deal with CT on the table where he would have gone into elimination (this explains his speech at nominations) pick Logan, hopefully defeat him, infiltrate Emerald taking Emanuel's place. If they had edited that into the episode it would have been great just for all the back dealing stuff.

That now makes total sense! Because I didn't understand why CT was talking. And the Amanda info....interesting. I wish they included that too! Thank you.

I heard that the reason Ashley was kicked off the show was because she said that she thinks Josh is gay? Sounds like they are going a little overboard if that was the reason.

I heard that was why too, but she called him a f*g. I can't stand her anyway, so good riddance. I'd take 10 Joshes over 1 Ashley. He just doesn't bother me the way he bothers so many other viewers.

I don't know what the real truth is, but other challengers said that ashley didn't use the word f*g.
Also, nobody wants Big T on their team since she is the weakest link left, I'm not sure why she was brought back. I guess the only reason was so that the team has enough people on it.

The numbers would have been off if both Ashley and Big T were eliminated. So it was Big T's lucky day, however unless Ruby wins the daily challenge Big T seems like the most likely person to be either voted into elimination or chosen as the opponent in the next girl's elimination.

Episode 14 - "Maverick" - November 10, 2021
DQ: Ashley was DQ'ed and left the show before Nomination. There were words exchanged between Josh and Ashley the morning after the Club Night and Ashley was still a bit intoxicated. Supposedly Ashley said some harsh things and called or said everyone knows you are gay to Josh. This was not aired so there is a lot of speculation on Instagram, Twitter, and the internet.
This is a secret? No one knew? No one suspected?
Because Ashley was eliminated from the game right before a girl's elimination there were decisions that production had to make regarding how to play the game with the remaining players and with how many more male and female eliminations there were left. The result is that Big T who was just eliminated was called back and reinstated back on the Ruby Cell. With the caliber of the other female contestants Big T will be a likely target for the next female elimination.
Whose Left?
Males: Chris "CT" Tamburello Devin Walker-Molaghan Emanuel Neagu Josh Martinez Kyle Christie Logan Sampedro Nelson Thomas
Females: Amanda Garcia Emy Alupei Kaycee Clark Nany Gonzalez Tori Deal Tula "Big T" Fazakerley
Interesting: Top Tier for the men is obviously CT, with Devin and Josh the bottom tier. The middle tier looks to be Emanuel, Logan, Nelson, and Kyle. We don't really know Emanuel and Logan's puzzle or math skills. Kyle and Nelson don't really have puzzle or math skills. Funny how Logan isn't having any problems with his hamstring anymore.
Bottom Tier for the ladies is obviously Big T, lack of cardio in a field of ladies who have more is a killer. Big T has commented that if she goes into elimination and wins she wants to infiltrate Sapphire and the assumption was to have CT carry her. Both CT and Logan had told her to her face that they do not want her on Sapphire. Then we find out that Big T does not want to upset Devin who is a friend of hers by infiltrating Emerald. Duh! Devin is using you, Big T. Devin does not want Big T on Emerald because he sees her as an anchor. So it is OK to mess up Sapphire's game? This makes me have way more respect for Amanda as she is thinking for herself and making moves that benefit her not anyone else.
The rest of the ladies are more or less even, Amanda can do puzzles, how is her cardio and strength? Emy doesn't do puzzles, Kaycee is not good with puzzles, neither is Nany or Tori. Kaycee can stay calm and think strategically. This is a very even field. At this point I would like to see Amanda win.
I do hope they have more than 3 men and 3 women the final. It was way more interesting to watch All Stars and see partner switching and individual legs in a final.
This is supposed to be a 19 episode season. If there is a reunion, and a 2 part final, then there are two more episodes to go, a male elimination and a possible double elimination or purge. Currently there are 7 men and 6 women. So if a male is eliminated in episode 15 there will be 6 men and 6 women left. Either that many will start the final, or there will be a male/female elimination, even two men and two women, or there might be a purge during the final. Unfortunately much of Emerald is intact but I can't see them running as teams for the final. I do wish that production had only allowed the same number of players to participate during the daily challenges as I do think Ruby would have won at least two of them, and Emerald would have been torn up a bit. I do hope for a brutal final just to reward all of Emerald with utter misery.

Episode 15 - "The Cave of The Wolf" - November 17, 2021
Let's face it the current generation of Challenge players have ADHD, can't read, and can't focus. No one read the memo from production telling everyone that Josh and Devin are scheduled to win the million dollars and that all the other players need to roll over and let them. If the other players simple followed instructions there would be no problems, like teams that are blue winning daily challenges, infiltrated Emerald players now on other teams would be willingly sabotaging the teams they are on. The entire season was to help Devin and Josh win not anyone else. Are people really that clueless? It's not like Amanda, Kyle, Nelson, Tori, Big T, Logan, CT, Emy, Kaycee, Nany, Emanuel need the money. They all love, and respect Devin for getting this far in the game and want to give the money to Devin. Why is this a problem?

Episode 16 - "Riverdance" - November 24, 2021
Devin has gone totally nuts. In what world does anyone think Big T will win an elimination against Emy or Tori?
Big T really needs to work on her cardio, she can swim, she is social, she is a bit political, she can do puzzles. I really don't understand how Big T thinks she can possibly win a final without any kind of endurance.
Well, thinking about it how can Devin win a final without endurance? He smokes, as does Ashley, CT, Nany, Aneesa and many other cast members.
If this is a team final you can only go as fast as your slowest person. I watched Nany in Double Agents, I do think she can outpace Devin.

They all smoke??? I saw CT smoke but I had no clue about the rest. And I agree Devin has lost his mind. Why did he get upset because Tori worked hard on another team? Crazy.
I was pulling for Big T, I mean this was her challenge - less physical and puzzles. As soon as she called herself the 'puzzle queen' I knew she was a goner.

I like Big T and was hoping she would do well this season. I do feel she needs some confidence in herself and realistically she really needs to work on her cardio. Secretly I was hoping she would win the elimination and infiltrate Emerald but instead of replacing Amanda, replacing Kaycee. You need to potentially put Kaycee on a weak team and have her house voted into elimination. It was a nice dream.

There is a certain point in the game CT becomes very focused on staying out of elimination, not rocking the boat, and winning.

Many of the guys come into this game with the attitude that they are going to win and they are very harsh to the females, brutal even. Let's face it they are not good at team building. Nelson being a prime example of an athlete with heart and ability, but no brains or leadership ability. I do think this is partly cultural as girls learn through the social scene at school it is better to please the boys then beat the boys. Evelyn was probably the best example of a female who was strategic, athletic, smart, and even more cutthroat then the guys. Besides Evelyn, Laurel Stuckey, and Rachel have similar traits. However both Evelyn and Laurel had terrible sportsmanship.

Big T is a sweet person, but she isn't a good challenger. If she decides to come back at some point, she should train more often first and cut down on the donuts like she had said.
