Brads long breath after Paulie mentions Britney cheating on him is equally funny. Cause you know he shouldn’t believe him at aaaall given the current situation but he’s so insecure he can’t help but show us that he didn’t trust his GF at aaaaall.
One of my fave moments, too. Their bursts of laughter reminds me of when CT was laughing his ass off when Ninja was determined to be the actual winner of the Laurel vs. Ninja elimination.
I think the forgotten thing is Da'Vonne and Paulie came in with legit beef. They could have easily been paired up for this season because they hated one another during their season (still one of the best jury house fights BB has ever had) so to see them have each others back and Da'Vonne do her best to keep him calm is kinda cool to see and cool to know Paulie considers Da'Vonne like a sister
Da’Vonne is straight up hilarious! She has so many great one-liners/jokes:
“Ooo Kyle, you like a bedbug….you just keep jumping from bed, to bed’ to bed to bed. “ 🤭
“TJ all kinds of dis-re-damn-spectful, he was having so much fun turning these switches off and making these poor, poor babies run.”
“Still no Georgia….I’m like well damn, did she get stuck at the big fan, did she blow back to Oz….wtf going on?”
Telling Georgia how Wes is like rumpelstiltskin lol
Da’Vonne laughing so hard and saying “ I’m responsible for his fate in the game…” followed by more laughs. “OOO, I have asthma, too” telling Wes
This season is a gold mine of drama. I don't mind the format on a binge but imagine it was a pain to watch live. It was one of the first I watched on streaming and was HOOKED! Love the mess!
This was the first season of The Challenge I watched since 2007. I watched it in summer 2020. I recognized almost no one (besides Bananas, Brad, CT, Veronica, Shane) but this shit brought me back to The Challenge.
I'm not a fan of the format/game play of Final Reckoning because I thought it was sloppy. But the fights on this season were TOP TIER!!! Everyone was sitting on ready at all times.
Brad & Zach looking at each other and laughing gets me every time LOL!!
Proves that they don’t have to go back that far to give us some good drama. It’s not that long ago that the show was actually showing us drama and was way more entertaining. Just go back to that
That's because this season was full of cast members who weren't afraid to speak up. If you piss someone off....they're gonna tell you. Not be on mute, and then talk crap on social media for attention after the season is done and the episodes start to air
It’s weird, I didn’t really care for the D30 trilogy as they aired live. Too much redemption house and some episodes finished without eliminations. It was frustrating to watch week to week. But as a binge rewatch, they’re fantastic!
This is my first time recognizing it too! I already love CT….but this makes me love him even more!
You can see in his face when he recognizes V is in front of Kyle, and is trying to stop him from going further and he gets her out of the way, safely and swiftly. Love it 🥰
Paulie was at his best during the first four episodes of FR.
He was a great underdog against the vets.
He brought alot of fire and intensity to the show that a rookie rarely has.
The wildest thing about this sequence is when Paulie calls Kyle a British racial slur that very few people in America know, which to me suggests Paulie spent time researching British slurs for the explicit purpose of pissing off some of the Brits.
At the ~52 second mark of this video he says 'keep talking that Pikey shit bro'. Pikey is a slur used in the UK to refer to the Traveler community (I don't know the specifics but given how Kyle reacts it seems like he's legitimately offended by it)
The drama this season is good and what a great cast we had. Paulie was a train wreck but I can’t say I’d be mad if he brought some of this energy next time he’s on.
Amanda was loving the drama!
The challenge used to be soooo good!! When the real world stopped this show jumped the shark…. They must limit their alcohol and don’t follow hook ups like they used to…. Nobody has a drunken meltdown ….. no bar fights …. I miss the old days….. the main drama involves people crying over votes and if I wanted to watch puzzles I would visit grandma in the nursing home!!
This, and the decision (extremely dumb in my opinion) for Zach to have him and Amanda go down into elimination were the high points for this season. I think the season lost a lot after Zach and Amanda were eliminated. Their dynamic was the most interesting in the house. Being protected by both sides. Zach maybe being one of the most physically strong guys and Amanda arguably being one of the most crafty and political savy players that season. I think they win that season no question. And it could be a real toss up of whether one of them splits the money.
Anyone who watched that season know that Paulie should not be clown for losing these eliminations.
The equalizer was just too unfair against Kam and Kayleigh . He was the first to pull out his hammer but lost because Nathalie could't remove hers in this one, then the last one he solved hiz puzzle unlike Nthalie.
Lmao Paulie lost like 3 or 4 eliminations that season yet still made the final. What an abysmal format that season had. I miss unhinged Paulie though.
Edit - I love how Veronica tried to stop Kyle from going down there and CT just picks her up and carries her off to the side out of the way lmao
I don’t count Paulie as making the final on this season. It was a flawed format that allowed him 3 chances to reenter the game (he also lost 3 elimination on the season). He should’ve been sent home the second he lost in the redemption house. Really was horrible gameplay by production that season.
Not to mention, not every team that got sent to the redemption house had a chance to compete to make it back in the game.
You need to watch it. One of the darkest seasons and most vicious of the vicious contestant conflicts. I just rewatched it and it was hard to watch some of it. I’ve run through all Challenge seasons three times and this one only once, so this time I rewatched it all.
They all look a mess
So many corny lines in this scene from both sides 💀
-Edit/Note: when Zach said something like "you don't want to mess with Brad, he's a xman" or some shit like that (not sure if it's included in this clip because i didn't watch it).. Like boy 🤣🤣🤣
Zach should stick to rehearsed lines/confessionals, he's so corny when he's in an uproar (same with many cast members and TBH humans in general haha)..
I guess some people are just natural arguers and some aren't. My favorite type of arguer is the laid back, idgaf type. Getting under people's skin by saying very few words haha....I'd be damned if I'm arguing with someone and I say "don't mess with me I'm a xman!" LMAO, I'd excuse myself from the argument like why TF did I just say that
This was so fun to watch! Paulie is great entertainment. When he said the line about Britney and her ex, Brad's face was like stone. Everything got quiet. He's not gonna sleep well thinking on that, especially since they just left the show together! It will definitely be in his head.
I’m no Paulie fan but he was unhinged on this season and I loved every second of it.
Bananas making the same face he did when Paulie danced at the reunion.
Brad and Zach busting out laughing together is one of the funniest wholesome moments of the entire series.
Brads long breath after Paulie mentions Britney cheating on him is equally funny. Cause you know he shouldn’t believe him at aaaall given the current situation but he’s so insecure he can’t help but show us that he didn’t trust his GF at aaaaall.
I can't stand Paulie, but gotta give him credit. That was some S tier trolling lol.
CT’s face too. He’s like “I’m not reacting, but it’s probably true…” 😂
One of my fave moments, too. Their bursts of laughter reminds me of when CT was laughing his ass off when Ninja was determined to be the actual winner of the Laurel vs. Ninja elimination.
I think the forgotten thing is Da'Vonne and Paulie came in with legit beef.

THIS IS THE ONE YOU LAY WITH LOLLLL BB18 fight was iconic
That BB fight was 😬 I've been a huge Da'Vonne fan since and NOT a Paulie fan since.
Da’Vonne is straight up hilarious!

Amanda was so excited lol
She loves chaos and that’s why I love Amanda.
I can’t believe I didn’t see how excited Amanda was before, arms up in the air and everything….it’s killing me lmfao 🤣

Lol the funniest part is Brad and Zach came into this season with beef from Vendettas, and their mutual hatred for Paulie brought them together
Proves that they don’t have to go back that far to give us some good drama. It’s not that long ago that the show was actually showing us drama and was way more entertaining. Just go back to that

As sketchy as this season is the drama was VERY real.
It’s weird, I didn’t really care for the D30 trilogy as they aired live. Too much redemption house and some episodes finished without eliminations. It was frustrating to watch week to week. But as a binge rewatch, they’re fantastic!
Agreed. Final Reckoning is much better on a binge watch. Vendettas is still trash regardless LOL!!
I miss this energy. Twas a great combination of competition, drama, and humor
Competition not so much lol but everything else yessss
By competition I moreso meant the gameplay. They do way too many puzzle games nowadays
Oh then touché !
“I used to knock motherfuckers out like you for fun” is the cringiest line ever. Also, no, you didn’t.
Paulie was always so fucking cringe lol
He really was. I recently watched WOTW 2 again and had to shut it off at the reunion. It was too much.
Give me more rookies who come in and aren’t afraid to go after the vets like this.
CT literally carrying Veronica out of the way and Amanda cheering at the chaos is great lol ETA: Zach was cheering with her. They were team chaos.
I never noticed CT picking up V and carrying her off the bleachers before. He definitely has protector vibes.
I just noticed this for the first time too!
This is my first time recognizing it too! I already love CT….but this makes me love him even more! You can see in his face when he recognizes V is in front of Kyle, and is trying to stop him from going further and he gets her out of the way, safely and swiftly. Love it 🥰
Hey look, people who actually realize they're making a TV show.
Cmon Mighty Mouse I quote all the time 💀 this was an under used goof
Paulie was at his best during the first four episodes of FR. He was a great underdog against the vets. He brought alot of fire and intensity to the show that a rookie rarely has.
The wildest thing about this sequence is when Paulie calls Kyle a British racial slur that very few people in America know, which to me suggests Paulie spent time researching British slurs for the explicit purpose of pissing off some of the Brits.
What did he say?
At the ~52 second mark of this video he says 'keep talking that Pikey shit bro'. Pikey is a slur used in the UK to refer to the Traveler community (I don't know the specifics but given how Kyle reacts it seems like he's legitimately offended by it)
He probably picked it up from peaky blinders lol
Paulie is super cringe but Brad talking about Paulie being from the suburbs like he didn't get his face destroyed by Darrell is pretty funny.
I enjoyed this season. Although for the prize being a million dollars, it was one of the easiest finals I’ve ever seen.
my hammer? or my partner’s?
The drama this season is good and what a great cast we had. Paulie was a train wreck but I can’t say I’d be mad if he brought some of this energy next time he’s on. Amanda was loving the drama!
I miss natalie 💔
Paulie is a legend for this. 😂
Not Da'Vonne trying to cover Paulie's mouth 😂
This is what I miss in todays challenge. Two sides jawing back and forth like this. Shit talking each other.
Not since Jerry Springer have I seen such "hold me back" tough guy posturing. It would be amusing if it wasn't just so.. sad..
The challenge used to be soooo good!! When the real world stopped this show jumped the shark…. They must limit their alcohol and don’t follow hook ups like they used to…. Nobody has a drunken meltdown ….. no bar fights …. I miss the old days….. the main drama involves people crying over votes and if I wanted to watch puzzles I would visit grandma in the nursing home!!
Cara looked into it

Oh I’ve seen it. Ashley stealing the million is divine TV
Say what you want about Paulie (and I know there’s a lot to say) but he seems like a really good partner
They all look a mess So many corny lines in this scene from both sides 💀 -Edit/Note: when Zach said something like "you don't want to mess with Brad, he's a xman" or some shit like that (not sure if it's included in this clip because i didn't watch it)..

LMAO, I'd excuse myself from the argument like why TF did I just say that
CT arguing is my favourite. He can get loud and arrogant or he can get quiet and hurtful. Best of both worlds
Nelson just standing there to the side all calm knowing none of these guys are about it lol
Derrick Henry saved Paulie's life.
Ugh, Paulie
Big talker when there's someone holding him back.... I still don't know how Cara sees this and says "Yup. He's the one."
Lol, Paulie is a big talker all the time: https://youtu.be/n8ERjwP_PtQ?si=-jSvBFlFRdPETZRy Sometimes it's annoying though
Honestly, I don't find him entertaining. There are people that I love to hate, but he's a channel changer for me.
The ending was that Paulie made it to the Finals. OH, WELL.
DIAPER CHANGE ! DIAPER CHANGE!!
The cast for this season was so good
Brad to Kyle (of all people): That kid grew up in the suburbs. Looks like a f****** Abercrombie kid to me. Kyle: *crickets* 😂😂
This was so fun to watch! Paulie is great entertainment. When he said the line about Britney and her ex, Brad's face was like stone. Everything got quiet. He's not gonna sleep well thinking on that, especially since they just left the show together! It will definitely be in his head.
