The Challenge: All Stars 4 (Wed, April 10th, Paramount+}

The Official MTV podcast is back and covering All Stars 4, unfortunately Aneesa and Tori are back as the hosts. I am listening to episode 1 with trepidation as I feel Aneesa and Tori together as hosts are HORRIBLE. Still don't like them together as I don't care about them shooting the breeze and talking about their feelings I want hard questions asked and move it along people.

Leroy is the guest and the interview is moving along. Lots of comments about Tony pulling Veronica's flag during the first daily.

That was embarrassing to see some that couldn't do grade school math, such as cara maria. Adding eight to a number?

Note: per Tina in the episode 2 interview on the MTV Official Challenge podcast the teams picked each other as far as it being a random pick and not the producers manipulating a random draw as had been suggested on other fan sites and podcasts. This is good to know as there is always speculation as it seemed kinda weird that Laurel and Nicole ended up on a team together as did Kam and Leroy.

I’m here for all the drama and craziness of this show, but omg Ayanna is something else altogether. I was happy to see her go.

Kam get over yourself, trying to control everything and every decision that each person makes. Cara gave her reason for voting the way she did. She didn’t even have to do that, but she did - so respect her decision. It’s an individual game.

So many folks have always said Leroy deserves a win and that others have held him back and that he played too nice and that Kam was good for his game. Well, I think some folks are having second thoughts about how good Leroy is from his bottom placement in two daily challenges and his wife keeping him out of elimination. How long can that last?

Season 4 Episode 4 - "Starget" - April 24, 2024


Is it possible that Kam is making herself more and more unlikable? Yes it is.

The more and more Kam talked about Cara the more and more I disliked her. Every person in that house is entitled to play the game how they want to NOT Kam's Way. Every confession made me dislike her more and more to the point Kam is becoming the villain this season.

Laurel and Nicole. GAG!

While getting Rachel & Cara into elimination was a big move the elimination itself was very anticlimactic. It was very dangerous to the crew.

Was it that big of a deal for Tina to vote for Rachel and Cara as it was a done deal. I don't think it was that bad and Rachel needed to understand it and let it go as Tina's vote made no difference.

Kam did note that no one cheered for Cara during the elimination. Why?

Jasmine - why get mad at her for voting Cara in? Let's be honest for the lower tier players it is stupid not to vote in big guns when the opportunity arises. If this season had two winners (male & female) I don't think Brandon would have voted Cara in.

Laurel celebrating a win, I don't know, was it deserved?

Yessssss! Kam is becoming more and more unlikeable! I completely agree. I too disliked her more with every passing confessional.

I’m glad that Cara Maria wasn’t eliminated. I’d like to see her play a bit longer, but I get why she and Rachel were voted in.

I've never really had issue with Kam. Yeah, she's a loudmouth, & I probably would want to shove cotton in my ears if I had to live in the house with her, but whatever. But after the way she acted last night, I've gone from neutral to actively disliking her.
I don't see Leroy winning this thing or even getting to the final. I like him, but there were seasons that he would've gone further & possibly won if he wasn't playing Bananas' game. Kinda sad for him about that.

Kam is definitely the alpha in that relationship! She has a very...strong...personality.

I get Cara being upset & maybe a little bit of  the whining, but damn she went on & on & on. I was like "girl, please stop!" It was just making everything worse. I wish she would've taken it in stride, at least in front of everyone else. She should've just said "yeah, I understand it's a game move, but yeah, my feelings are hurt & I wish you would've been upfront about it instead of ambushing me" or whatever & been done with it. I hate that they put her & Rachel against each other because they're without a doubt the two strongest women there. But as a game move, I don't blame them. I just don't like the way they went about it.
I'm glad at least Ryan has her back. Jasmine sucks for the way she acted about it & I can't wait for her star to get stolen. Hopefully!

Do you think Cara made the right move or do you think she should've given it to a stronger player? I'm kind of on the fence because I can see both sides of how she was thinking. It's like, do you give it to a strong woman & risk having a sequel of what just happened or do you give it to "weaker" player hoping that they get it stolen rather than risking getting yours stolen. Or it could be a case of no one stealing it because they want a weaker player at the end. I'm not saying Jasmine is "weak" but she's small & that kind of makes her an easier target because if it ends up a physical elimination, I think she can more easily be taken down by a bigger woman.
But you gotta get to the end & IMO, I think probably every player there would rather face someone who they are more confident that they could physically dominate. 

Yeah, after I posted this & the more I thought about it, Cara absolutely made the right decision.

hahaha so right about Kam saying it was bad strategy because she wasn't the one who decided on the strategy.
