Just saw Hisam win the HoH. Lmao dangg he's such a comp beast (with how often he's come in first or second in comps) and totally gonna be targeted once the other side has power. Unless he pulls a Michael and win nearly every HoH and Veto which is looking possible. Of the targets, I would definitely prefer and be good with Cameron going. But I do get the thoughts of Hisam wanting Reilly to go as she's the strong piece holding that other alliance together. But it seems like anything can happen with this season, so we'll see.

Oooh dearr at this twist here. Ughh and my worst nightmare of going first.

Ooh how I wish Brenda Edwards was the last name, but Les Dennis did seem inevitable. And makes sense for Les on what I presume is a big/well-known name to be announced last. Hopefully we see Brenda and Daniel Sturridge in the future. I do still like the cast overall and looking forward to getting to know them! I think I'm most looking forward to: Layton, Eddie, Angela S, Zara, Adam, Nikita, Ellie, Bobby and Nigel.

David Alexander - The Challenge: USA (Season 1) LOL Ugh I was hoping there was a way that both David and James could have been saved but sadly that wasn't the case. This was a tough choice as I feel I really liked and rooted for both David and James on their respective seasons, so I kinda hate having to cut one of them. But I'll save James as I think he was higher up on my favorites list of Survivor 43, while David wasn't as high on my The Challenge USA rankings. Granted David had a much more stacked and more rootable cast to compete against there so a tough comparison, but I don't know how else to decide it, lol. I think this works for now. David Alexander made his Challenge debut on CBS's The Challenge: USA (Season 1), alongside many other Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race and Love Island contestants. We all know David best as the first boot on Big Brother 21 (unjust!) and his time on the All-Stars season of Big Brother 22. David is someone that I always root for and want to see do well. He's far from a perfect player - not the strongest in comps or the best in strategy/gameplay but I don't know I just want to see him do well. I feel like people don't take him seriously as a competitor and even as a person... and I just feel bad for him for that. David did struggle as a competitor and I think a lot of the girls didn't like being paired up with him as he would often make some easy mistakes in these main challenges. He did want to prove himself and I felt he did that this season. On Episode 4's Falling Off the Knowledge, he & Justine came in last but they won that Smash In Puzzle Out arena game elimination against Shan & Xavier. David beating Xavier was kind of a shook moment and while I liked/was sad to see Shan & Xavier go, I was really happy for David & Justine beating out such strong comp beasts. David did really well and proved himself on Episode 6's Containment challenge, where he won the main challenge with Desi. A great moment for David! Then sadly, David's lack of strategy couldn't really protect him much longer - as Angela & Alyssa were moreso protecting and working with the Survivor guys, so David had to battle it out against Enzo on the Balls In arena elimination game. I was rooting for David to win this but sadly he didn't win as Enzo won it. I was sad to see David go there but he lasted 10 episodes and just missed the final. I was proud of him getting that far as he never got that far in his Big Brother seasons. I think David did well and proved himself as a competitor here. Saving: James Jones

Hmm... a tough decision. I'll work on a write-up shortly. For now, I think I'll do.... Save James Cut David

Ugh of course it ends on a cliffhanger. At least we don't have to wait a whole week and get to find out Sunday.

Ooooohhh interesting at Monte and Bananas getting 4 votes.

That's what I always do.

Ooooh the Secret Vote twist should be fun.

lmaoo I know. They are so gonna dominate this game despite having such small numbers.

Fine with Luis being at risk. Sad for Ameerah though as I was hoping this would be her season to showcase her true potential so yikes if she goes out first here.

lmao I wasn't expecting her to vote out a fellow Big Brother player. But I also had no idea how close friends she was with Luis.

You're even further behind than me! I'm so proud of you!

Oh congrats to the blue team on winning the first challenge.

Oh and then add in Dusty who has such a short temper, that we saw on TAR. Oh dear.

Oops, maybe the red team is a disaster.

Aww I'm kinda lowkey sad that Tyler & Angela didn't work out. They grew on me over the years.

It makes sense why they are the Red Team.

Oh wait... Paulie, Bananas and Josh all on the same team? Dear goodness, the Red Team is gonna be a dramatic hot mess.

Omgg all of the flings Faysal has talked about having. Why do I feel like he may want more?

I didn't get enough to dissect them but it looks like all of the teams are pretty evenly strong?

lmao wow it seemed like it took forever for Bananas to get picked. Kinda surprised it took so long for him to get picked.
