Oh how very satisfying to see Fessy eliminated right before the final! There was finally a competition where his height, weight and strength were a disadvantage. I had to lol at his confessional at the end where he said he was so happy he brought Moriah as his ride or die, and that they stuck by each other. He didn’t stick by her for most of the season

Nothing makes me happier than to see Fessy lose. His confessionals were, again, all about him about how he chose Moriah and how she was good for him. There was nothing he said about her that was just about her. It was all about how she was a help to him. This man will never change. What a spoiled brat.
I mean, I think each team has its own strengths. I would say Aneesa was at a disadvantage, but she is doing a lot better with Jordan. I'm pulling for Olivia and Horacio.

I am all for a good redemption story and is the reason I am a fan of Cara Maria, but geesh her choice in men is horrible. I first saw Aneesa on the Real World and didn't particularly like or hate her. She pushed the "I am a black, Jewish Lesbian" to the point I don't care about what you are, I care about who you are, and Aneesa hides that. I saw Aneesa be a "badass" mean girl on her early seasons of The Challenge. I saw a horrible physical performance from her in second final performance with Mark Long in Duel II in 2006. At the end of the Duel II Aneesa famously said "I guess I need to work on my cardio". It has been 17 years since that statement. Her cardio looks even worse now. I see at least 2 of my neighbors who are even bigger than Aneesa jog everyday. I am impressed. If Aneesa had taken the strength training route and remained a master puzzle solver she would remain a decent competitor and I would be rooting her on. However Aneesa has done NOTHING to improve her physical condition. She drinks, she smokes, she parties, she is a horrible strategist, she is an anchor for any partner or team in a final. Aneesa is not even a good podcast host. It will be painful watching Aneesa compete in the final. mmmm....well if Aneesa suffers a lot in the final that would be OK.

Season 38 Episode 16 - "Friends or Froze" - January 25, 2023
Liked the episode but felt there were too many conversations to the point I was thinking there would be no daily challenge or elimination.
Thankfully a Daily Challenge, that was also used in The Challenge Australia.
Tori and Devin win. I wonder if T&D were holding back during the season and deliberately throwing challenges?
Please, please, please send in Bananas and Nany. I feel they are a bigger danger in the final then the Mess is. Either way I would luv to see a Banany vs Messy elimination.
We all get our wish and find out if Messy can actual do something other then Hall Brawl or Pole Wrestle against a one handed opponent.
On the Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast for this episode many comments about Bananas supposedly unique skillset that covers doing stupid things was mentioned, many times.
This elimination favors agile players. Can you imagine Horacio vs Bananas or Jordan?
So glad Fessy was eliminated. Sorry about Moriah being eliminated.
Does Fessy not remember what he said about Moriah in previous confessionals? To say that they stuck together as a Ride or Die couple is a blatant lie. It would have been better for his image if he had said, "I wish I had been a better Ride or Die".
Shout out to Nany for catching the falling rod/bar with her feet.
Looking forward to a multiteam final, please let there be no purge. It is more fun with more teams.
100 hours seems a bit much. That is more than 4 days. Over 3 episodes. NO, that is ridiculous. This final will take the entire month of February to air.

Nanny's catch with her feet was insane!
There is no room for anyone else with Fessy's ego being so massive.

In future if The Mess ever comes back I hope he gets thrown in a few more partner type non physical eliminations just to show he is not great at all the stupid stuff needed to survive and require good communication between partners. You know all the stuff a person needs to know and be to win 7 times.

Lol. I hope so. Although his poor partners. Who (besides Kaycee) would partner with this egotistical chump?

Ughhhhhh! I had blissfully forgotten about that mush-mouthed manchild. Lol. Davonne and Josh were an alternate Ride or Die pair. It really does make you think there is a higher power as they never appeared on our screens.

This season is never-ending. I can’t believe we have another month to go before it’s finished. I mean, I do look forward to it every week, but I’m ready for a conclusion.
I’ve been watching the old seasons on Paramount + ( finally caved in & got it when they ran a special on pricing) & I like how much shorter the seasons were. It never felt like they were dragging on ( not that I’m recalling, at least)

It never felt like they were dragging on ( not that I’m recalling, at least) Supposedly The Challenge Australia and UK are being dropped Feb 18 on Paramount+. I thoroughly enjoyed the Australia version. There were only 10 1 hour episode. At first I was not sure about the cast as they seemed to be a lot of social influencers and folks from the AUS version of American dating shows. The series was FUN. The series was exactly what The Challenge USA should have been but was not. There were big fun personalities with good confessions. There was drama, cliques, and conflicts. The dailies and eliminations were fun and exciting and well fought. I luv'ed it. So much was packed in a 1 hour episode that the flagship show should be ASHAMED of the long season and extremely DULL episodes.

OMG, poor Olivia & Horacio. I felt so bad for her, & my heart broke for him. I don’t even know what else to say. I really wanted them to win it all. They kicked ass all season. What an awful way to go out. I’m sure they will be back, hopefully the vets will give them some respect next time & not throw them in elimination every week!
Jordan getting all over Aneesa’s ass has been entertaining. He’s pretty much saying what we all think!
As of now, I’m hoping for a Tori/Devin win. Bananas doesn’t need another win, & now way in hell Aneesa wins unless every other team gets medically eliminated. Too bad Nany & Jordan weren’t paired & Aneesa & Johnny were paired instead! Because I could root for a Nany/Jordan team.

I think Olivia & Horacio could have won this thing. So sad for them but I agree that hopefully we'll see them again. If/when they do come back, they'll be that much more prepared after going through the crazy experience this season. (Both Olivia's injuries looked SO painful!) I'd say it's between Tori/Devin and Nany/Bananas at this point. (I half expected Aneesa to drop out the second she rolled her ankle .) I guess I'm hoping for a Tori/Devin win now. We'll see how things play out.

Season 38 Episode 17 - "Riders on the Storm" - February 1, 2023
I have not really liked a single team for a long time on this show but this season I was rooting for Olivia and Horacio to get to the final and win. I had such high hopes. It would also have been so good for this franchise. I was never that impressed with Tori and didn't like her as the face of the show. The Challenge has needed some "fresh blood" for a while but was having trouble casting any. I was shocked by what happened to Olivia and it only made me even more angry at Aneesa and the editors for constantly reminding us for 90 minutes that Aneesa had "rolled her ankle". Crawl for all I care Aneesa and just Shut Up.
The golf ball broke 5 bones in Olivia's face. The nose was broken, an orbital bone, she had a fracture from the hit site up to her hairline.

I would be scared to go back too. But she sounds determined to go back on the show. I love her & Horacio. Total badasses.

Wow. I can imagine that to be traumatizing plus, having that happen in a foreign country. My heart really pains for her. And it could have been worse. But it sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders. They both worked so hard and were so wonderful to root for. Loved the thirst angles of Horacio shirtless on the bike. I don't remember if he was on Love Island, but remember her, I think she won? And it's such a silly, dumb show that you really don't think they would be so tough and resilient.
Remind me why Jordan paired with Anessa in the first place? She never ceases to be ....Anessa.
And of course, Fessy tries to make money off of how he comes off instead of changing. What an a$$hat.

After her performance in All Star 3 she said she would get herself back on a workout requirement. Nia and Jordan were all set to appear on Ride or Die but right before there were to leave Nia had a medical emergency with her lungs caused by her vaping and had to be hospitalize. per Heavy

I hope this is a wake up call to stop with the vaping! People try to delude themselves into thinking it's not as bad as smoking, but it is. It's even worse in some ways.
