Was there a football game or something Big Brother ran 21 minutes late and the Challenge is 21 minutes late. This is going to screw so many people if they used their DVRs.

The two day final seemed short. I liked the Day One Skills Test. Day Two was chaotic but more because my DVR messed up and I was trying to record 3 tv shows because the digital DVR's mess up when shows are extended. To be honest someone spoiled the ending in a comments sections on a YouTube podcast months ago. I HATE when people do that. I simply don't get why people spoil the ending of a reality competition in a comment section whats the point.

Technically there was no female finisher in third place as I sure as heck didn't see anyone cross that finish line in third place.

Season 2 Episode 14 - "The Pursuit of Glory" - October 19, 2023 Strength Results:Chris+Bananas+Fessy+Cory Michaela+Chanelle+Desi+Tori Smarts Results: Spell: Alliances+Schmoozing+Deceitful+Vengeance+Ascending Bananas+Chris+Fessy+Cory Desi(5)+Chanelle(4)+Michaela(4)+Tori(3) - Tori had not misheard "alliance" instead of "alliances" it would have been a 4 way tie between C+M+T, would anyone get a 1 min penalty or would it be a wash?
Skills Results:Fessy+Chris+Bananas+Cory Tori+Chanelle+Michaela+Desi Steel Stomach Results:Bananas+Fessy+Chris+Cory Tori+Desi+Micheala+Chanelle Results: Two (2) minute head start - Bananas One (1) minute head start - Chris+Michaela+Tori+Fessy+Desi Minus One (1) minute start - Chanelle Minus Five (5) minute start - Cory It was painful watching Cory loosing every single skills test. Cory is a physical beast and he works his cardio and it looks as if he has bulked up. Cory's social game was flawless this season as he was in the right alliance and he got himself to the final without seeing an elimination and was never in jeopardy this season. However, every season being dumb has bit this kid in the butt every single time. It is painful to see Cory lose a strength challenge because he can't figure out a better strategy to move boxes, it is painful to watch Cory not be able to spell any of the five words and think spelling is a useless skill since there is autocorrect, by this point you get angry at Cory for not learning one puzzle in all these years, and who cares about the gross food part. I absolutely do not now how to spell schmoozing.
What is amazing is to see Cory make up a 5 minute delay at the start of the race.
The only way Cory could win a Challenge Final at this point in his career is if the Season was themed "Dumb and Dumber".
The Day Two 10 mile run is misleading. If you were able to successfully throw your axe that is 1.2 miles cut off making it an 8.8 mile run. If you were successfully able to get the scales to balance and use the ATV that was another 1.4 miles cut off making it a 7.4 mile run. If you are doing a 10 minute mile then you have almost a 30 minute lead over someone who couldn't throw and axe, who couldn't balance a scale.
I felt it was a short final as far as distance. Since the course was so short I wish they had let Tori and Fessy continue to run just to see where they had placed. Tori would definitely been the third place female. Could have Fessy beat Bananas? Did CBS go overboard with caution and diluted the finale considering the disaster the USA 1 final had been?
It has been revealed that Chris won the final by 30 minutes.
Fessy tried to cheat and claim his axe did stick to the target and he earned the shortcut.
There was an overnight portion that was cutout. Players were not allowed to go to sleep until they had collectively as a group figures out how long an hour was while standing on cinder blocks. The players did it in three attempts.

I was happy for Chris. He really was beaten down by getting voted in the entire season, so it was nice to see him get rewarded at the end. I'm just thrilled that Bananas or Fessy didn't win.
I hated that Michaela got medically removed, I wanted her to win. But I wasn't mad Desi won. She really got screwed over the first time around because of stupid Enzo.

Great Season! Great Finale! Ive only seen 2 Challenges but I think I like it more than Survivor. Only 2nd behind Amazing Race! I would have been happy with anyone winning but super glad Chris won after coming from behind so much. And while I was also rooting for Michaela - Desi was a beautiful winner - so no complaints!

Have been some podcasts on YouTube called GoldDerby / Gold Derby with Bananas & Cory, and Chanelle & Michaela www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvMDLntmIUE, there is also one with Desi & Chris. Very informative B&C talk about the Josh betrayal, Chanelle & Michaela really explain the Cassidy issue. Michaela & Chanelle both said they tried to work with Cassidy early in the show but Blue Team was winning so much they really not wanting to work with others until they started to have transfers and by the time the teams broke up and Cassidy was willing to try M&C said it was too late. I did like the part were C&M said they operate more from a logical perspective and Cassidy was way too emotional. For example during a club night Cassidy wanted to talk strategy to Bananas but he wanted to wait and Cassidy got upset by that and said well I will just vote for Bananas.

Michaela said she ran too fast between Risk Station 2 and Risk Station 3 to catch up with the ATV's and didn't hydrate enough and passed out right after she finished Risk Station 3. She doesn't remember anything until waking up later.
