I am so happy Melissa was brought back this season. Her first showing on The Challenge was iconic and she always brings the drama. I still cannot believe she did competed on this season while pregnant and had no idea. 

Yeah that is hilarious that she did the whole thing while pregnant and not knowing about it. Image her running a final while pregnant. And if she beats anybody it's like congrats you lost to a pregnant girl

[Alex95]

Oof I didn't think Bananas was actually going in, but it was fun to dream for a bit. Props to Ashley & Dee trying to get the ball rolling there. And props to people like Fessy, Nelson, and Big T having the balls to stick with their vote and not freak out when Wes flipped. Since I have no prior knowledge of Melissa, her vote left a bad taste in my mouth.

 

#TeamAshley in her fight with Bananas obviously. Nany was completely on the money there. Bananas is pissed because she plays the same game as him, but she does it better.

 

Dee's borderline fun cringe and uncomfortable cringe. I'm still slightly stanning, but she's on thin ice.

 

The Jay win could've been more exciting if the edit didn't so obviously telegraph he was gonna win. All the confessionals "Wow CT's got this in the bag!!!1111!!!1!" made it pretty obvious to me that he was gonna lose.

 

Aneesa was the winner of the episode for #dragging that ridiculous blanket

[QueenKalie]

Maybe that will be a wake up call to CT that he can't just continue to show up to these challenges out of shape and with that dad bod.

I forgot to mention Jenn Lee talking about using her TAR experience to her benefit on The Challenge was SENDING ME! Sis, you didn’t even last an episode

Swaggy and Fessy also have that trainwreck cancer basketball game that’s a whole other can of worms that I still don’t know all the tea on because it was so messy .

Oh god I forgot about that basketball game lol. There was a lot of different stuff flying around so yeah I don't know what was actually true and what wasn't. 

WTH is this all about? Think I completely missed this.    

 

Just catching up on thoughts in this thread.

I have seen every season and I had no idea who she was lol. Not shocked that she was a  first boot. Who watched that one episode and thought that was a good idea lol. 

Lol I actually remember Jenn as I was thinking she was really hot & gorgeous and was super sad she left so early on TAR. But lol oh I forgot she was a first boot. I thought she was a second boot on there?  Such an odd casting decision.

RIP Jenn. I lost it at "Greetings Earthlings" . Girl is just not cut out for the show. I thought the edit was pointing to a Big T boot the whole time so I'm just relieved she survived and Jenn got the boot.

 

Kaycee being furniture just like in BB20? Predictable.

OMGGG that comment was so hilarious.   Ugh yeah I feel bad for Jenn as she was clearly not cut out for the show.

 

LOL I was thinking the same thing about Kaycee. Her edit so far reminds me of the first half of her BB20 edit.

I agree with points 2 and 4. With 3 I do understand the argument there. If they knew about the twist beforehand that the tribunal could throw themselves in I would be harder on her. But she just found out in the moment that she would be allowed to do the elimination. It's hard to put yourself in competition mindset just like that. If she went in and lost, she would never be able to show her face on The Challenge again.

All so true.

I didn't know that but none of that surprises me coming from those challenge guys. Jenn Lee is pretty but if I am voting I'll take Mellissa over her any day of the week.

Not surprised about you choose Melissa as your favorite.  She's gorgeous too.

MTE regarding Dee. It's getting tough to watch her as a fan.  

 

Oooh lmao I actually fell for all of those bigging CT comments. With him being such a legend and Jay being the smallest guy/rookie it did seem in CT's favor to win. So I was totally #shook when Jay pulled out the win last second.  Shockingly finding myself rooting for Jay. Hoping this leaves him alone from people seeing him as a lay up but probably not.

 

omgg that moment from Aneesa was so hilarious.  

[Alex95]

F*ck Mattie, done with her ass. So Bear trying to kill half the cast with a fire extinguisher wasn't below the belt, but Ashley spitting was? And why is everyone more offended over Ashley calling Mattie out for her DUI than the fact that Mattie has a DUI? With Bear, spitting should be the least of his worries, his ass should've been kicked out of the game for that. Such disgusting behavior, but not surprise. Very CBB18 Bear. Glad Queens Ashley and Nany were there to put Mattie and Bear in their place. Kailah...love yourself gurl.

 

Kyle had a small role this episode but pissed me off too. "I vote Ashley too tee hee" *Chases after Ashley* "I'm sorry Ashley I just didn't want you to be embarrassed " Uhh if you didn't want her to be embarrassed you wouldn't have that vote for her! Headass.

 

I think I'm finally done with Dee. Freedom! Yes it took me longer than the rest of the world, but the way she betrayed Ashley and not only threw her under the bus, but ran over her a few times after. Ashley's too destructive to work with apparently, but Rogan is a perfectly acceptable ally give me a break . What a bullsh*t luck-based elimination. Dee was just luckier finder her pieces first that required no skill. And then Wes did the entire puzzle for her on the sidelines. That's barely an elimination win. Da'Vonne still kicked your ass a year ago!!!!

 

At least we got Big T's power trip . Her infiltrating the Holy Trinity and running the tribunal with an iron fist  . She is working hard for a third season. Bananas singing her praises is amazing for her future on the show (and will make it delicious when she backstabs him ).

 

I'm starting to narrow down who I'm rooting for. On the girls side Aneesa, Big T, and Nany are definitely my faves left. I also still like Tori and Jenny and would be happy to see them do well or win. For the guys I'm rooting for Jay, Fessy, Nelson, and Josh. Cory's fine too. Don't really care for anyone else.

This defense of Ashley is a choice really she's awful and spitting in someone's face is disgusting. Yes Bear is trash as well and is a moron ain't gonna defend him. The elimination was stupid as it was part luck and part Wes doing it all which is just dumb. I didn't really care which one won since I don't really care for either of them. Over all kind of a meh episode really.

[Alex95]

Sorry but if you’re gonna spray a fire extinguisher on me, getting spit on is a kind way to react.

 

Ashley is beloved by literally everyone on the show so clearly not trash

If she was so beloved why did they unanimously vote her in this early? 

[BamBam]

Ashley is human garbage.

My review of the episode: F*ck Rogan. That is all. Absolutely classless in that elimination.

Yeah pretty much and for the most pettiest of reasons as well. 

[Zoey]

We’re a few weeks behind in the UK!

 

Just watched the first episode and I love Asaf.   Initial favourites are Asaf, Jay, Nany, Bayleigh, Ashley, Dee, Jenny, Josh, Big T, Jordan and Tori. 
 

I haaaaate Wes. I’ve never liked the guy. So unlikable it actually hurts to watch him. Hate that Bananas has teamed with him as Jonny used to be one of my favourites but I can’t root for him by default.

F*ck Rogan period. F*ck Dee. F*ck Jordan. Most of the players this season are playing a very scared game and irritating the hell out of me. Why would you keep diminishing the opportunity to enter an elimination by voting Jay in repeatedly? If you find him the least intimidating, why not keep him around for the final? LOL. 

 

His behavior was uncalled for in that elimination - pushing his helmet into the sand, throwing the ball his way. I am not mad about the hit since the elimination is physical...but he crossed a line.

Ughh yess this cast is playing such a cowardly game this season and it is beyond annoying.  

[Zoey]

Only on episode two as it airs weekly here and we’re about three behind?

 

Dee was insufferable during the second episode. The jealousy, the trash talking, the pointless hatred of Jenn. I really liked her on WOTW2 but she went from being a favourite to near enough the bottom of my rankings.

 

Big T - QUEEN! I’m loving the confidence she has this season. She could be a contender if she isn’t thrown to the wolves.

 

Jenny - Challenge beast!

 

Tori - Amazing competitor and strategist. 

[Alex95]

What a waste of an episode. Zach is an emotionally abusive monster. Bad showing for most of the men tonight actually lol. Fessy being invisible during the episode while all the other guys were being dicks . 

 

My girls Aneesa, Nany, and Big T are still amazing though and I love them so much

[BamBam]

Rogan deserves a couple broken arms in freak accidents

[QueenKalie]

Nany did awesome last night I was proud of her! And yeaI Zack managed to be awful even on season he's not on.

[*Lily]

Just started watching the first episode since the first two are up to stream in the UK! So gonna dip after watching so I don’t catch any spoilers.

 

My only takeaway in the first 15 minutes is that I can’t believe Bayleigh and Swaggy are still together. But then they both still come across so messy that I guess I’m not surprised.

[*Lily]

Wow wait I also forgot about Big T and how much I liked her short run last season  Ready for her comeback!

Ugh it seriously was @ the first sentence.  So true on your Zach comments.

I was proud of Nany too.  Eek so true on Zach.

 @ your Bayleigh and Swaggy comments. I'm in the unpopular opinion here and yess while they do come off as messy, i do really like them together and think they are good matches for each other.

You will def enjoy her this season too.  

[Zoey]

Just finished episode 3. I might try catch up to real pace tomorrow!

 

Jay just beat CT. Incredible and iconic Challenge moment right there.  I’m loving Jay and his underdog edit right now.

I hate Rogan. His final confessional making out he’d take Jay out because he views himself as popular.  DELUSIONAL!

 

Loving Ashley! She’s one of my favourite contestants ever. Loved her going after Bananas and rallying a group against him.

 

I’m in love with Nelson. 

[QueenKalie]

Fantastic episode! It really had all the makings of an iconic challenge episode it had dumb drunken fights and a failed noodle attack which you may never see again. It wouldn't be a challenge episode without misogyny so thanks for that Nelson you even did the impossible and made Bear look good. And then for the main event you had the return of beast mode Barbie return to the challenge and beat a very strong competitor in the game in Tori. It is sad to see Tori go as I really like her as well but Jenna did awesome so that was good to see.
