I realized one of the reasons I dislike Fessy is his entitlement and that he acts like a vet without having earned it. Fessy has been in 4 seasons of the Challenge and as a rookie he should have been baptized into the game by being thrown in to elimination as much as possible.
Season 1: Total Madness: Everyone is intimidated by his size so he gets one physical elimination, a pole wrestle with Jordan at the very end of the game and gets into the final (coattails Kaycee) and finishes 4th.
Season 2: Double Agent: Two Hall Brawls and he played Dirty with Nelson and technically Kyle medicinally DQ'ed. Lets face it politically he rode on Kaycee's coattails the entire game and is responsible for her injury, gets into elimination and finishes 4th.
Season 3: Spies, Lies, and Allies: The Big Brother Alliance of Kaycee, Josh, and Fessy is still here and this time Fessy gets DQ'ed and Kaycee wins with CT.
Season 4: ongoing and Kaycee is still his Ride and Die in the game.
Both Kaycee and Fessy have never felt the pain of being a rookie and boy are they protected in this game which is the main reason I want both to crash and burn.

Thoughts:
16 players left:
Chauncey + Devin + Fessy + Horacio + Bananas + Jordan + Kenny + Nelson
Team F: (Chauncey + Fessy + Bananas + Nelson) Team M: (Devin + Horacio + Jordan)
Amber + Aneesa + Kaycee + Moriah + Nany + Nurys + Olivia + Tori
Team F: (Aneesa + Kaycee + Olivia + Tori) Team M: (Amber + Moriah + Nany + Nurys)
Kenny is sequestered in a hotel for 16 days = about 4 episodes and will be back episode 15 or gone permanently.
Week 0: Kenny eliminated Week 1: girls elimination Week 2: boys elimination Week 3: girls elimination week 4: ?? week 5: they are all back potentially? unless both girl and boy on a team are eliminated? what a mess. All of this effort to what? Eliminate at most two teams, one team, or none.
There was talk that if Team Moriah wins Nany will not let Kaycee be thrown into elimination; Nany is only one vote on a team of seven. If Kaycee thinks she is go great go into elimination and comeback.
Title of next weeks episode: "Nelly: Ride (or Die) Wit Me".

I’m not liking these teams much. It’s so lopsided in size and strength, it’s pretty ridiculous. I agree that if the next few daily challenges favor the strong, bigger players like this one did, it’s not gonna be much fun to watch. Watching Fessy in all his arrogance and self-centeredness is not something I want to do.
Hoping these teams get mixed up or split up soon.

It's trivia next week so that should be interesting ... the midseson trailers also indicate that it will not be that lopsided.

16 days? That's a long time to be at a hotel. I'd watch that show, though!
Agree with all I just want bad things for Fessy's smirk. I generally like Kaycee but question why she is friends with this self-centered, lack-of-consequences oaf.
Also, Jordan's hair is really starting to bug me. He looks like a 10-year-old from Long Island.

Season 38 Episode 11 - "Nelly: Ride (or Die) Wit Me" - December 21, 2022
Nelson answered two trivia correctly. Wow!
Guess it never crossed his tiny brain to not answer correctly to protect his Ride or Die?
I truly thought that Moriah's Team would win this daily challenge; if it doesn't happen soon this season will become sooooooo boring.
This season started with so many possibilities and has imploded, the vets are literally strolling into the final.
Nurys interviews with Bananas on Death, Taxes, and Bananas and on The Official MTV Challenge Podcast are so good, she is so coherent, easy to understand and explains what happen that you realize what poor communicators other cast members are. Nurys does explain some of the Amber hate, as she caught Amber in if not an out and out lie twisting what happened. Nurys also stated that both Amber and Aneesa would run around the house going did you "hear", "did you know this person is saying this about you". Sounds like both Aneesa and Amber are "pot stirrers" or "being messy". Nurys stated you see both Aneesa and Amber going from person to person telling them slightly different stories or did you hear the rumors".
Nurys has been the first cast member that gave a clear example of Amber shading the truth and of her playing the victim.
Everyone knew Nurys was going into The Zone and both Amber, Moriah, and Nany had multiple deals with the other girls.
Whose Left: Amber Aneesa Kaycee Moriah Nany Olivia Tori
Bananas Chauncey Devin Faysal Horacio Jordan Nelson
Faysal's Team Aneesa Kaycee Olivia Tori Bananas Chauncey Faysal Nelson
Moriah's Team Amber Moriah Nany Devin Horacio Jordan
Why didn't Nelson and Nurys not throw in Bananas & Nany when they had the chance?
Nurys said that Bananas & Nany were their choice to go in but on the bus ride to The Zone, Nany came up to him and asked him not to throw her in because he was like her brother and that Bananas birthday was the next day and that the anniversary of Nany's mom's death was coming up soon. Nelson felt bad and wanted to change their pick but Nurys insisted that they stick to Bananas & Nany but was afraid if they were not both on the same page they would be sent into elimination.
Well, Nelson got played. Absolutely Bananas & Nany timed it on purpose so Nelson would not have time to realize he was being played. Nany herself stated that she was here to win this time and she was being cutthroat about it. On her own Nany may not have thought about the Mother's Death angle but she used it. That's cold baby.
Oh, per Nurys, Amber does play the victim especially the times Amber claims the vets don't have her back. Amber is not the vets number one target and each blindside of Amber was not necessary intended but because of the format of the game.

Season 38 Episode 12 - "Frenemy of the State" - December 28, 2022
OMG, can't believe Fessy asked Moriah to throw the challenge to save him from the male elimination when he did nothing to help her. Claims she didn't ask me. In his confessional he states that he held Moriah's hand during the game, and helped her get on the show so she should be grateful. This from the man child who slammed her to the house last episode?
During the daily challenge only 6 players from each side could do the Chopper Drop, Kaycee and Aneesa had to wait on platforms until all the drops were finished and then could swim toward the finish platform. As bad as both Kaycee and Aneesa swim there is no way they got to the finish platform before the members of the winning team with only 2 seconds to spare.
Hate that none of the guys give any info during the interrogation.
When Nelson and Nurys won a daily challenge they were absolutely going to send in Bananas and Nany into the Zone. On the bus ride to the Zone Nany begged Nelson not to send her into the Zone as it was Bananas birthday the next day and it was almost the 1 year anniversary of her mother's passing and he was like a brother to her. Well, Nany cold heartedly and without shedding a tear said she would vote for Nelson to go into the Zone and she was a woman of her word. Nelson I hope you seriously watch this episode and learn. If you had listened to Nurys and swung big and sent Fessy and later Bananas into elimination you would not be bottom man on the pole on your team and you would not have had to compete against Fessy hopefully. You did it to yourself. Instead of standing firm you caved. Yes, be loyal but not to everyone. Nany played you. Fessy played you.
Is Amber annoying or what? Every 5 minutes she is constantly telling everyone Chauncey is her man and he loves her. Insecure much?
Jordan and Tori. Simply delicious. Can't believe Tori tried to intimidate him, blackmail him, threaten him bringing their personal relationship outside the game as a bargaining tool into the game. Glad he called her out. Tori dear, the producers can't show us what you did if you didn't do it.

Whose Left:
Team Fessy: Chauncey, Fessy, Bananas, Aneesa, Kaycee, Olivia, Tori
Team Moriah: Amber, Moriah, Nany, Devin, Horacio, Jordan
So stupid not to take out Fessy and Bananas or Kaycee when they had the chance.
Men: Chauncey Devin Fessy Horacio Bananas Jordan
Women: Amber Aneesa Kaycee * Moriah Nany Olivia Tori
* partner Kenny in hiding
4 more episodes to be aired in January.
So hope Moriah's Team wins another daily and sends Kaycee into the Zone.
Out of this lot the potential top teams are:
Bananas & Nany Devin & Tori Fessy & Moriah ** Chauncey & Amber *** Horacio & Olivia
Teams with Anchors:
Jordan & Aneesa Kaycee & Kenny Fessy & Moriah - because Fessy has been sabotaging Moriah since the team split and she knows it...can they come back from that?** Chauncey & Amber - per Nelson in the MTV Official podcast C was doing nothing in the daily challenges, no one was afraid of him in elimination or if they had to against him in a final.

I really wanted Fessy to lose, can't stand him His confessionals and behavior is so cringe worthy. He wants to be a role model, he wants people to respect him and his culture therefore call him Faysal, yet every move he makes, every confessional just shows he is the worst and should never be a role model for anybody or anyone. The beauty of the camera is you can't really hide from it. Many folks will say players can be very different off the screen vs being on the screen but in Messy's case he is showing us exactly who he is and it is not pretty.

Season 38 Episode 13 - "Blind Faith" - January 4, 2023
No, Devin DON'T HELP THE OTHER TEAM! IT WILL BITE YOU IN THE ASS.
Rats, Devin and Nany almost did it but they are still ahead from challenge one.
Glad to see Horacio and Amber do well in the memory challenge. Yeah, still ahead.
The last challenge and this is where having the extra time would have made a difference.
Fessy ... everytime I think I have seen the worst from him the way he totally abandoned Moriah in the Interrogation was jaw dropping and he was doing his best to gently throw her under the bus because this was all her fault. Fessy likes playing the victim. His behavior is so unmanly.
So excited to see the elimination.
So excited to see Moriah WIN!
Well, that didn't last long. This entire episode felt last one slow disappointment after another.
Whose Left:
6 Men
Chauncey Devin Fessy Bananas Jordan Horacio
6 Women
Amber Aneesa Kaycee Nany Olivia Tori
Fessy's Team: Aneesa, Kaycee, Olivia, Tori, Chauncey, Fessy, Bananas
Moriah's Team: Amber, Nany, Devin, Jordan, Horacio
Ride or Dies still in the game:
1. Amber + Chauncey 2. Aneesa + Jordan 3. Kaycee + ??? 4. Nany + Bananas 5. Olivia + Horacio 6. Tori + Devin 7. ??? + Fessy
Next Week: A twist - Can Kenny and Moriah come back into the game???

Agreed - don’t ever help the other team! I can’t believe they asked Devin to help Fessy. Sooooooo stupid! It was only the first challenge. They had no idea what the other competitions were going to be and how easy or difficult they were going to be. As soon as they did that, I knew they would end up losing.

I was like "WTH DEVIN?" I can't believe his team wasn't telling him to shut the hell up! Ugh. I wonder if he would've been helping them if it was a men's elimination day?

Tori dear, the producers can't show us what you did if you didn't do it. Bananas is good TV, but he is a dirt bag, always has been. I guarantee it was his idea for Nany to use the dead mother card. It's so vile. And who gives a crap if Bananas goes out on his birthday or not? Nelson is so easily influenced. I'm loving the Jordan/Tori drama. I love that he voted for Fessy because of Tori threatening him. Too bad Fessy is still in the game.

Davonne and Devyn are hosting the MTV podcast and are much better hosts than Aneesa and Tori. Aneesa is friends with everyone and Tori just squeals and gushes over everyone and no hard questions or info gotten. D & D are not afraid afraid to ask hard questions and they get the answers. Bananas is getting better as a host as he finally realized the show is about the guests and not him. Get a lot of good interviews. Moriah was a guest on DT&B last week and a guest on MOC this week. Moriah has known Fessy for over a year. He texted her Instagram account and they started talking that way. He asked her to met at a club after a while. She shows up and finds him and he doesn't say a word to her. When Moriah decides to leave the club Fessy starts to talk to her. The minute Moriah and Fessy got to the Challenge House he never talked to her, when she wanted to talk he said to go talk to one of the other girls, he never talked strategy, never checked to see how she was doing even when she got sick. Fessy also trash talked about her behind her back to the other players and that was when they were partners and it continued after they were split into teams. The only time Fessy talked to Moriah was when he wanted her to do something in the game to benefit him.

Season 38 Episode 14 - "Terrorist of Love" - January 11, 2023
Per Bananas and Jordan from this weeks podcast on "Death, Taxes, and Bananas", they had been at the house for 8 weeks, and Kenny had been sequestered at the hotel for 17 days. Kenny was only allowed outside for one hour a day and only had one hour in the gym.
Lots of drama was going on and Bananas was involved and none of it was shown. Why?
During the elimination everyone thought it was for 5 rounds not best of three as shown. But Jordan said that was OK as he thought if they did the 5 rounds Horacio may have beat him by a larger margin.
Nelson made a deal with Jordan not to say his name and right after that Nelson said Jordan's name.
Jordan also said that scene with him and Nurys on a sofa and Tori staring at them was total editing as Tori was on a sofa in the other room.
Twist: The eliminated players who still have partners in the game come back into The Zone and must fight to earn their spot in the game. Of the 3 teams only two will come back in.
Personally, of the three teams I would want to see Fessy, Kaycee and Kenny be eliminated. However that cannot be arranged. So I am OK with Kaycee and Kenny being eliminated. Please let that happen, I am so tired of seeing Kaycee float all the way into the final.
I think the last 6 episodes were a waste as only one team ended going home. It would have been better if there was a male and female elimination over 3 weeks instead of 6. The seasons do not need to drag on so long especially with production and editing leaving so much of the drama on the cutting room floor.

I enjoyed Jordan's and Horacio's friendship. And once again, I am annoyed by everything Fayssal does, including 'I see you' when Horacio won. I mean, this kid has been killing it all season.
It looks like Kaycee and Kenny aren't long for this challenge. Kenny was in the hotel for 17 days???? My worst nightmare.

It looks like Kaycee and Kenny aren't long for this challenge. Kenny was in the hotel for 17 days???? My worst nightmare. What really irks me is the way Fessy (I refuse to call him Faysal as I don't respect this twit) is trying to be the spokesperson for the team in interrogation. Fessy is trying to portray himself as the Godfather of the Challenge, as if he knows all, as if he is a veteran extraordinaire. He is talking over people like he just knows what production is going to do. At one point in this episode after TJ said there will no longer be teams Fessy said "pick your partners" with the assumption he and Kaycee will partner. The audacity to compare Horacio to himself is jaw dropping. Dude, Horacio is who you wish you could be. Fessy has not had a normal Challenge experience, he was not thrown into elimination based on size and physically his first season and got a free ticket to the final. Fessy has not worked hard enough or has been knocked around enough to even be called a veteran. He is boring, his confessionals are boring. Fessy's greatest skill set is his ability to put his foot into his mouth. He treats women who are not Kaycee either as disposable tissue/bed partners. Notice how no one goes back for seconds once they actually had sex with Fessy. The way he treated partners in Double Agents was not nice and his treatment of Moriah is even worse. Moriah is a beautiful woman with a very fit body and when you listen to her she is genuinely a nice person and yet once in the game he acted as if she didn't exist. Fessy doesn't get how to treat a partner. I sincerely hope he never wins a Challenge.

Yes. Yes, and Yes. "The audacity to compare Horacio to himself is jaw dropping." It truly is. Horacio is quiet leadership and strength. People really like and respect him. Fessy is everything you said. And never grows from his mistakes.

The seasons do not need to drag on so long especially with production and editing leaving so much of the drama on the cutting room floor. I totally agree! I finally caved & got Paramount + & I'm watching all the old seasons on there & those old seasons had so much more depth of the players & their interpersonal relationships & although some of the drama was so over the top, we got to see them interact with each other beyond just the challenges. We definitely don't need 1.5 hours of this show if they're not going to show us the interactions in the house.

Season 38 Episode 15 - "Knot a Problem" - January 18, 2023
Whose Left: Devin & Tori Fessy & Moriah Horacio & Olivia Bananas & Nany Jordan & Aneesa
The top three teams are definitely Fessy & Moriah, Horacio & Olivia, Bananas & Nany for being physically strong, can swim, can run, some puzzle ability. Then Devin & Tori and last would be Jordan & Aneesa.
Glad to see Kaycee and Kenny eliminated and not get a chance to get back into the game.
Just for clarification Nany's mother Carmen died on October 28, 2021 and Challenge 38 was filmed from May to July 2022. So Nany's mother died 6+ months before filming for season 38 started depending on the extra date filming started.
Olivia said it best, in that family one was born an athlete and the other one was born a sweet human being.
Luv'ed that Jordan pushed Aneesa through that entire elimination. That is the first bit of real emotion I have seen from her the entire season.
Anyone else think it was a tad suspicious that during the daily challenge Bananas & Nany and Olivia & Horacio were shown not being thrown side to side in the bus? MMMMMMMMMMM! It just looked totally shady.
Fessy trying to be nice to Moriah was vomit inducing. He had to drop his point that she needed to be loyal to him and only him. Although during the deliberation portion of the episode where Fessy and Moriah were saved, Fessy tried again to drill in to Moriah that loyalty was important in the game and that is how he played the game. LIAR! Thought I would go full Tori on that statement.
So glad to see Olivia and Horacio not be put into elimination this week.
To be honest I was hoping for a Tori & Devin and Aneesa & Jordan matchup for the elimination.
When Aneesa and Jordan went into elimination I thought, oh there goes Aneesa going home right before the final. Wow! Yeah, Amber you think you are this Challenge Beast, you think you are the Hall Brawl Queen. Well Aneesa would annihilate your in a Hall Brawl so would other opponents who are not 5 foot tall and weight under a 100 lbs.
Yes, Jordan do give me the Master Class of how to win an elimination.
In next week's preview they are just now figuring it might be a good idea to get rid of Bananas and Nany?
NOTE: 28FEB23 Out of curiosity I decided to watch the Runaway Ride again because on a podcast I listen to some said something about the colors on the balls. The signs had 10 circles on them, 5 for each partner with two colored stripes on them. For each team production would shuffle the circles around so each team had a different order of circles to memorize. I guess production did not want any of the teams helping each other. Amber + Chauncey had 7 of 10 balls correct. Olivia + Horacio finished fast but their count was not mentioned. Aneesa + Jordan had 1 of 10 balls correct. Moriah + Fessy and Tori + Devin both had 8 of 10n balls correct. Of course now is it O&H or N&B. Nany + Bananas had 10 of 10 balls correct. Never knew how well Olivia + Horacio did. This is the time I miss that the last team automatically goes into elimination. But in this case it probably would have been the same two teams.

I thought the varying degrees of crazy bus rides was totally suspicious. Some of them bounced around like ping pong balls…others not so much.
Aneesa really surprised me in the elimination. Yeah she outweighs Amber, but I still thought she’d poop out before it was over. I really wish she’d get in just a little bit better shape to round out the other qualities she’s got going for her as a contestant.

I do see her strength training on the Challenge, well at least one day. Aneesa says she goes to Crossfit. She can do all that and still have crappy cardio. After Aneesa came in third with her partner Mark Long in the Duel II final she stated she "needed to work my cardio". Well it has been 20 years when is it going to happen? Seriously, it's not as if she had to live in a gym. Giving up smoking and doing a minimum of 1 hour of cardio a day would have her pretty decent shape. Take a Zumba class. I really don't think she cares as she gets an appearance check, and scale for everyday she is on a season and does 2 seasons a year. In between she is on vacation all the time. At times you can tell she does not give a damn about winning you can see the boredom in her body language, her attitude, and how she says the words. Aneesa is not a redemption story like Cara Maria is. The reason she stays so long on a season is that no one is that afraid of her and all of the other players can beat her in a final. Aneesa's best shot at winning a final was All Stars 1 and she ended up dead last and Big Easy waited for her on the last mountain climb so she would not be by herself. If that didn't embarrass her nothing anyone says on any forum will motivate her.
