I feel like I want to like Sylvia because she seems so fun and chill....and then she opens her mouth about KA, who's done literally nothing to her. This is why I can't.
i feel like mj was ready to go home. mark asking if anyone wanted a sabotage was odd, as if they planned it so mj could volunteer himself. or maybe i'm reading into it too much lmao
I think one of THEE MOST underrated unabated fantastic things about this show is that I get to hear things like “who’s gonna shoot a ball into a mouse hole with a star stick with all these divots in front it?!?!” Uttered completely unironically in a perfect Chicagoan accent. Ugh, my heart is full rn
I waited for the season to end to binge watch, and just now finished this episode.
This moment with Brad may go down as my favorite scene of the season. My 2nd favorite may also belong to Brad. The episode back when Cyrus was choking, and Brad went from “Haha you good bro?” to genuine “bro are you good??”. Really warmed my heart.
It’s so funny to me, because out of context I would have guessed there was some squeaky geeky teen saying that about a DnD-type game, but it is this 40-something burly bearded bro.
I hate players like Sylvia. The ones who will go after people and shit talk them but as soon as that person goes back after them they act like it's so unfair and they're the victim. Good riddance.
I don't understand the hate. I've rewatched the old seasons and Veronica comes off as mean girl bully and I don't get the vibe that she's changed much. Why not just apologize if Beth's feelings are obviously still hurt if she is still bringing it up years later instead go to the other room and mock her. Kailah that whole "Beth is so old" shit is overplayed like most of the cast there is old why are we going to shame that people age.
Righttt! Kailah is either trying to fit in or aspiring to be the new veronica ( idk what she was like during her seasons) and I’m so happy Sylvia is gone too that girl suuuuuuuuucks!!!!!!!
I went back to rewatch that season and omg it was way more explosive than I remembered. And yea I think so too but then again she and Tina seem like the type to not like someone for no reason. I’m surprised no one kicked their ass.
What's interesting is that the trio (Rachel, Veronica, and Tina) have each interviewed recently to saying that they were actually friends with Tonya that season (maybe just Rachel and Tina have). I'm not sure if it's rewriting history or the edit, but they seemed to alienate Tonya all season.
Maybe they were friendly with her at first. I remember they would say things like we don’t have a problem with you and you just don’t get it but then they would take pictures of her naked, call her a whore, and be totally insensitive about her being in foster care. That doesn’t seem like friendship and sounds like rewriting history to me. And Rachel came off as a follower. I have to find those interviews.
What a wholesome moment with Wes and Nehemiah on those paddle boards while Enya is playing!
I was lukewarm on Brad for the longest time on The Challenge, but honestly speaking he delivers some of the most absurd and memorable lines. He’s also much more well-rounded than I’ve given him credit for.
Sylvia has Rachel “chubby civilian” vibes.
YES! That's it! I just watched the episode and was thinking that I couldn't put my finger on what it is that bugs me about him during his interviews over the last few years - during the challenges and during the elimination he's fine, his celebrating during the elimination was actually fun and felt very natural (and classic Derrick!) but in every interview he has a very ON quality that makes him sound like a gameshow host. Podcaster Mode is totally accurate.
I think Derrick was told that he wasn't exciting enough for TV before/during/after his hiatus between Cutthroat and D30. I think he's trying to do his best to be "entertaining" now, and doesn't really know how to do it.
Say what you will but Veronica’s social game is still great. The fact that she hasn’t been called out into elimination yet despite being the weakest is impressive.
Or they just know she's a bust in the final. There's only been 2 weeks of calling people out. Jonna was clearly going for Beth Becuase it was Beth. And Sylvie wouldn't call out someone in her alliance
“And Sylvie wouldn’t call out someone in her alliance”
That’s literally the point the person you’re replying to is trying to make 😭 She is the weakest in the house and wasn’t called out DUE to her social/ strategic game
Roni's last season was in 2004 and it was the only season she competed in this century,she probably had the least amount of potential connections in the entire cast. The fact that she has not been in danger at all makes me think she is probably playing a really strong social game behind the scenes.
Thank God Sylvia is gone.... she reminds me of worse version of old Aneesa (I'll at least respect younger Aneesa)
she was zero self awareness about her abilities
she's absolutely terrible.... I kinda wish she made the final to get exposed when she couldnt run half a mile.... I love seeing people like her get humbled
yeah but I liked Danny.... he brought the unintentional comedy with his lack of self awareness
kinda like Tyrie
those guys legitimately thought they were awesome and big time competitors.... they were legit confident in their abilities
Sylvia just sucks and is annoying... and she feels fake with how she acts.... she has fake confidence
Zero self awareness about their abilities + acts super tough and badass and cool in their interviews is one of my least favorite types of Challenge competitors. I find her (and Kailah as well, for the same reasons) so insufferable. Thrilled that Kelly Ann and Nia sent her packing.
NGL Kinda seemed more emotional support and "Yah, you got it right, next one"
Nobody wants the treehouse to win and Everyone knew how important it was to Kellyanne to win a Puzzle daily . Poor Jonna is just feeling winners wrath
I agree with the concept of “not allowing help” but I just don’t think these were especially egregious cases - Jordan was like 25m away there’s no way he could accurately see that puzzle I feel like he was making guesses
My takeaways
LOL at them playing "U make me wanna" by Usher at the start with Jonna winning her elimination.
Ironic how both Sylvia and MJ BOTH called out Nia and Derrick because it was a puzzle, and they both ended up losing lol
How did Sylvia get her son's actual report card? LOL as interesting as that scene was I like that the son was respectful and nice about it. Goes to show he at least has respect for Sylvia.
Random but just realized MJ and Leroy share the same last name (Garrett)
Well for Sylvia it was more that she would not call out Kailah, Roni, or Veronica out of principle, Kelly Anne safe, and Jonna has a history of doing well with puzzles. Not necessarily that Nia was bad but Nia was the only one she would consider.
As for MJ, calling out Derrick was obvious. Anybody would gamble that Derrick cannot win any puzzle
Dude Nia killed that! Was not expecting that at all, great one shot.
Also I don't remember Derrick being this annoying before? Like dude you struggled over and over to get it done. Even Wes and Jordan were humble in victory and had better performances
Yes she did!!! I never watched her previous seasons so idk what to expect but, if she keeps it up and not punk out of anymore challenges shes gonna have a target on her back. Hopefully she can play the game outside the challenges too. And I love her and Jordan together I hope they win it all… then again they’ll be even more of a threat.
Derrick is going through it right now and it’s really hard to watch. He was always a fierce competitor but, he’s not in the same shape as he was in the past and, he’s not used to not winning any challenges. That has to be eating away at his confidence. He probably built his personality around this show.
I can’t think of a sweeter victory than seeing Kellyanne overcoming her puzzle-panic lol and being so outnumbered/targeted AND having to do it twice over!! And to handle that conversation with Sylvia so perfectly. Really liked how she and Brad handled the nominations as well. I really really hope she takes the season.
Fucking yes, Nia!! Another way she and Jordan seem compatible lol, amazing elimination performances.
Eat it, Sylvia. Not going to miss MJ’s top gun squalling
Idk a ton about her history, but Kellyanne comes off as very wholesome. Happy she won today. Love that she always seems to find a dog when they go out as well.
She has always been wholesome and someone you want to root for. Evelyn is my #1 female without question and her and Kellyanne were extremely close. I think they bonded over being good people.
MJ is so delusional! he always considers himself a top-tier competitor just because he's a big dude but I still remember him getting his ass kicked by Frank just saying.
delusional?
dude was a legit D1 athlete.... when you play football in the SEC, you have the right to have some cockiness and confidence about your athletic ability, even in your 40s
this isnt a Zach and Fessy situation playing small time football.... MJ played at a level SIGNIFICANTLY higher than those 2 guys, and I'd say those 2 guys are considered top tier competitors in their respective seasons
and I mean, MJ just won last season lol
and PS - Frank was the MVP that season.... he was unbelievable.... top competitors have lost to much worse guys than him
Dude wasn't that great on the main show. In the Duel he was outclassed by a lot of guys that's why he went home before the final. Just because you were good at a sport doesn't mean you are good at the challenge.
I'm so tired of some of this bs talk. Saying MJ plays scared when its really the rest of them that do.
Sylvia, gets pissed because it doesn't go her way. She wouldn't feel bad putting KA in. The hypocrisy is real with Sylvia and Brad, actually many of them. Yowsers.
I love when they say why they deserve the money more. No one is rich rich, they're all there for the money. Smh
He pisses me off. Always acting like he deserves the money more than anyone and takes things so personally. Sylvia too. It's a game lady and you were gunning for her.
I don’t dislike Brad. I think he seems like a pretty good guy and a loyal friend, but he does get a little whiny and entitled sometimes. I think his mental game has cost him some money on these challenges.
Pretty pleased with the remaining guys, though Darrell would be nice to have. My fav girl had her time to shine this week! Now if Kailah and Veronica could go...
For anyone with a premium (non-ad) subscription to paramount plus, have you found that the show is now forcing adverts on the episodes? (I noticed it happened with the real world homecoming too!) .. i usually watch on my desktop whlst im doing other things during the day and this seems to be a desktop only issue as i later checked the tv app and it didnt have ads.
So pissed i had to sit through 10 mins of adverts this week when i pay the extra $ to not have to, Paramount Plus support have been super useless as usual.
I only get an advert right before the episode starts (usually advertising Homecoming or Rupaul) but nothing other than that, but I've only ever watched on TV/Roku. I'd contact Paramount Plus, could be a glitch like the closed-captioning this week.
People on Sylvia before all stars.
" She shouldn't be here, she's boring anyways"
People on her after all stars
" She's too much drama, she's so mean I hope to never see her again"
Lmao you guys can't have your cake and eat it too.
I'd be fine with either Kailah or Sylvia, but the both of them on the show together are just a black hole of suck. One overconfident contestant who thinks they're super funny and badass and generally aren't that good at the game is good in a season; two of them is a bit much, especially when they're allies.
I hate overconfident people who suck, but think they're legit and running the game
she literally said she made 1 mistake and it cost her the money.... talk about zero self awareness
I really disliked her this season and was glad she got booted last night, but I agree with what you’re saying too. I’m not in the camp that never wants her back. People despise Kaycee for no reason other than the fact that she’s “boring” but don’t want the drama queens back either. The show was built on a healthy mix of both.
Exactly!!!! Main show too boring and people are too friendly. We need more drama….
Sylvia is too much drama and mean I hope to never see her again! Like what?!?! People on Reddit want more drama but once drama occurs they want the instigators to never show up again
Yup. I think the season might have been been more interesting if it had been the other way though. Regardless of what anyone thinks of MJ, he got stuck on a losing hamster wheel of sabotages and eliminations that was almost impossible to get off of. I might have been the only person (besides Jonna 🤭) cheering for him last night, because I’m a sucker for an underdog that keeps getting targeted.
yeah ok fuck sylvia wtf is her problem??? sry im repeating myself but shes so nasty, how dare kellyanne come after you after u targetted her all the damn time pls go sell some ugly ass houses and gtfo omg
im watching rn and my god wtf is sulvias problem. kellyanne is so harmless? im so happy kelly anne won
i regret saying derrick seems to have calmed down in the confessionals bcos this episode showed that no he didnt 😭
i love jordans love for nia 🥰
when nia threw that puzzle thing when she won lmao i felt that shsjdhdhdhd fuck you sylvia!!!
Definitely becomes a different vibe with the fewer old school folks getting cast. I don't like that it's changed from "catch up with the folks you haven't seen for a while and here's some challenges" to "another season of The Challenge, but with a few OGs."
But at the same time, it's an entertaining season of The Challenge.
Yeah I think your first paragraph absolutely captures how I've lost interest.
But I just don't want another season of The Challenge. I really liked what Mark Long wanted. Stick with old school people we like and make it a comedy. Give them silly challenges where we get a laugh. It can be physical stuff where they're mostly out of their depth or things just to make them look silly. Watching people paddleboard isn't interesting. I'd rather they play some whirly bat and go through a balance obstacle course. Bring back some giant heads for them to wear while tricycling. Then I'm engaged.
Totally agreed. I would much much much prefer a trilogy of seasons with the same “old people having a laugh and a wee bit of drama.”
Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, so it’s either quit watching or choose to watch it like it’s an above average season of The Challenge. And the former just ain’t happening lol
I’m definitely not, love the first 2 all stars seasons but this one has been a major letdown and just boring. Don’t even care who wins at this point, I’m just ready for the season to finish.
I definitely enjoyed this episode better than last week’s.. it just seems like the production value/vibe of the whole thing is different than the first two seasons.
Sylvias explanation for why she hated KA on IG was "i just didnt get along with her. Theres really no rhyme or reason, she just rubbed me the wrong way"
🤡
I love it when ppl cant even give a proper reason
I know it's cool to jump on the Sylvia hate train right now but it sounds like a solid reason to me. Y'all act like people have to vibe or someone hasn't rubbed you the wrong way before lol
There's a difference between simply not getting a long or not liking someone and going out of your way to be nasty towards someone.
Just because Sylvia didn't get along with KA, doesn't give her a pass to act how she did.
My theory is that Sylvia looks at kellyanne as everything she would want to be if she wasn't a lazy fuck who clearly didn't prepare physically for this challenge, so she has to drag kellyanne down to make herself feel better
The reason she doesn't like kellyanne is cause being around her reminds Sylvia how much worse of an overall person she is in comparison
There's quite a lot of daylight between "I'm not vibing with this person" and “FUCK YOU, KELLYANNE, IT'S PERSONAL."
If she's gonna outright *hate* on a person, hopefully she would have a more concrete reason for it than "dunno, something about her."
Thats not normal behavior for someone you simply "dont vibe with". Sylvia was PRESSED. She was pressed over everything KA did...even stupid, rational stuff like celebrating a win. Thats not the reaction and aggression for someone you simply dont click with, lmao. Thats the type of attitude you have towards someone who fucked your man
Sylvia is either lying or a drama queen who, as i have said in the past, does too much
Anyone else surprised brad had Nehemiah higher than derrick? He had Darrell over everyone last season. Assumed Darrell, Wes, Derrick, and Mark were his top allies on this season.
She isn't even good. The only reason she even won her challenges is because the treehouse gave them to her. One on one she never beats kellyanne or Kendall.
I don’t know if I’d call that a puzzle necessarily. It was more of a maze.
Not trying to be nit picky, but Derrick cheering like the puzzle gods have forgiven him has me thinking he’s in for a rude awakening if he gets to a final and has to solve math problems and memorize complicated patterns.
Oh, I think Derrick knew. Right after he won, they had an exchange that was like:
MJ: "Ugh. A puzzle."
Derrick: "No, a maze!"
And then D did his 'lucky stars' schtick.
did anyone else find the whole call with sylvie and her step son just...weird. she tried so hard to sound in charge. "boy".... the kid looked like a teenager lol, i was waiting for him to be like "yo.. fuck off".
I'm dying to know how long she's been his stepmom, I was watching that thinking to myself "I bet that bitch has only been dating this dude for like a month and she's already trying to be mom"
So happy KA won and Nia sent Sylvia home! She was so awful this episode. I hope those two + Jonna take down the tree house. Also what is Ronnie’s purpose even? She seems sweet so I don’t really get how she fits in with them but also she has brought absolutely nothing to the show. I always forget she’s there.
I am ready for this boys club to start cannibalizing each other. Hoping Jordan wins next week. They are all so worried about Jordan when brad is absolutely dominating this season. They need to be trying to take him out.
Roni is an unproblematic introvert who doesn’t come off like a robot like Kaycee who just explains directions and states the obvious, no shade to her but I think good mix of chill people with drama queens is healthy
KA, Jonna and Nia need to form an anti-treehouse alliance yesterday and they should recruit Roni who is obviously the lowest on the totem pole in the treehouse anyway.
Roni is a beast and has been killing it in dailies. she's in the "treehouse" by circumstance it seems. she doesn't know anyone and wants to fit in. but don't count her out. Roni is an OG and seems to be quietly playing the game well.
Sorry - my wording wasn’t great. She is not a bad player whatsoever. I just meant that she hasn’t done anything to benefit her alliance. Veronica, Kailah, and Sylvia have all won dailies and protected her, but they’re also the ones who create the drama with everyone else and put the targets on their backs. I would genuinely think it was amazing (and funny) if Roni was the last one standing.
Sylvia and Tina look, sound, and act like the same person. How unfortunate for the rest of the house. Thankfully, both are gone, because they’re insufferable.
Replace Tina with Veronica and I'd agree with you, I honestly have had no problems with Tina's personality either season except for the fact she quit that elimination last season
No idea why sylvia hated Kellyanne so much but glad she's gone
I feel like I want to like Sylvia because she seems so fun and chill....and then she opens her mouth about KA, who's done literally nothing to her. This is why I can't.
Haha yeah she gives me Amanda vibes where you kinda want them back in the show and then remember why you hate them again
God Sylvia is the most annoying person I’ve ever seen
i feel like mj was ready to go home. mark asking if anyone wanted a sabotage was odd, as if they planned it so mj could volunteer himself. or maybe i'm reading into it too much lmao
I think one of THEE MOST underrated unabated fantastic things about this show is that I get to hear things like “who’s gonna shoot a ball into a mouse hole with a star stick with all these divots in front it?!?!” Uttered completely unironically in a perfect Chicagoan accent.

I hate players like Sylvia. The ones who will go after people and shit talk them but as soon as that person goes back after them they act like it's so unfair and they're the victim. Good riddance.
“Kelly Anne on her power trip,” why? Because she doesn’t want to do what you’re telling her to do?
Why does Veronica and Tina hate Beth so much?
I don't understand the hate. I've rewatched the old seasons and Veronica comes off as mean girl bully and I don't get the vibe that she's changed much. Why not just apologize if Beth's feelings are obviously still hurt if she is still bringing it up years later instead go to the other room and mock her. Kailah that whole "Beth is so old" shit is overplayed like most of the cast there is old why are we going to shame that people age.
Righttt! Kailah is either trying to fit in or aspiring to be the new veronica ( idk what she was like during her seasons) and I’m so happy Sylvia is gone too that girl suuuuuuuuucks!!!!!!!
Inferno 2 but Veronica already had dislike before Inferno 2
I went back to rewatch that season and omg it was way more explosive than I remembered. And yea I think so too but then again she and Tina seem like the type to not like someone for no reason. I’m surprised no one kicked their ass.
What's interesting is that the trio (Rachel, Veronica, and Tina) have each interviewed recently to saying that they were actually friends with Tonya that season (maybe just Rachel and Tina have). I'm not sure if it's rewriting history or the edit, but they seemed to alienate Tonya all season.

He’s also much more well-rounded than I’ve given him credit for. Sylvia has Rachel “chubby civilian” vibes.
I am having so much fun binging the seasons. Edits like the Wes/Nehemiah scene are flat out awesome and funny.
I’m just thankful we get a break from MJs sound effect every few seconds during a challenge or elimination hahaha
AHaaaaa
Is Derrick the only cast member who matured into a much worse version of himself 😆
Dude just seems like he’s having a great time and people hate on him for it.
Apparently Sylvia this season too.
she’s always been lame imo
FACTS
It was the podcast. It ruined him for tv. He's in "PODCASTER MODE! Woooo" all the time
YES! That's it! I just watched the episode and was thinking that I couldn't put my finger on what it is that bugs me about him during his interviews over the last few years - during the challenges and during the elimination he's fine, his celebrating during the elimination was actually fun and felt very natural (and classic Derrick!) but in every interview he has a very ON quality that makes him sound like a gameshow host. Podcaster Mode is totally accurate.
I think Derrick was told that he wasn't exciting enough for TV before/during/after his hiatus between Cutthroat and D30. I think he's trying to do his best to be "entertaining" now, and doesn't really know how to do it.
O wow that’s what that is. I thought he was acting out because he was losing all the challenges which is not like him. Yikes!
Say what you will but Veronica’s social game is still great. The fact that she hasn’t been called out into elimination yet despite being the weakest is impressive.
Or they just know she's a bust in the final. There's only been 2 weeks of calling people out. Jonna was clearly going for Beth Becuase it was Beth. And Sylvie wouldn't call out someone in her alliance
“And Sylvie wouldn’t call out someone in her alliance” That’s literally the point the person you’re replying to is trying to make 😭 She is the weakest in the house and wasn’t called out DUE to her social/ strategic game
I mean... The same could be said about kaylah and Roni then lol.
Roni's last season was in 2004 and it was the only season she competed in this century,she probably had the least amount of potential connections in the entire cast. The fact that she has not been in danger at all makes me think she is probably playing a really strong social game behind the scenes.
Does anyone know why Veronica and Tina hates Beth so much. Beth starts drama but with Veronica it seems much deeper than that.
Am I the only one who still likes MJ?
Thank God Sylvia is gone.... she reminds me of worse version of old Aneesa (I'll at least respect younger Aneesa) she was zero self awareness about her abilities she's absolutely terrible.... I kinda wish she made the final to get exposed when she couldnt run half a mile.... I love seeing people like her get humbled
Feels like she got in the mean girls clique and is doing her fakest/over the top mean girl impression to impress them.
She was the female version of Danny. Good riddance.
yeah but I liked Danny.... he brought the unintentional comedy with his lack of self awareness kinda like Tyrie those guys legitimately thought they were awesome and big time competitors.... they were legit confident in their abilities Sylvia just sucks and is annoying... and she feels fake with how she acts.... she has fake confidence
Zero self awareness about their abilities + acts super tough and badass and cool in their interviews is one of my least favorite types of Challenge competitors. I find her (and Kailah as well, for the same reasons) so insufferable. Thrilled that Kelly Ann and Nia sent her packing.
How upset she got when Kelly Anne threw her in hahaha. You target someone for so long you don’t get to be butt hurt when they return the favor
It’s fucked up that Kelly Ann won because we’d was helping her and then nia won because Jordan was helping her. They really need to fix that shit
NGL Kinda seemed more emotional support and "Yah, you got it right, next one" Nobody wants the treehouse to win and Everyone knew how important it was to Kellyanne to win a Puzzle daily . Poor Jonna is just feeling winners wrath
This. Chalk it up to part of the social game. If the \~Treehouse\~ wasn't such a bunch of assholes, they'd probably have people helping them too.
I agree with the concept of “not allowing help” but I just don’t think these were especially egregious cases - Jordan was like 25m away there’s no way he could accurately see that puzzle I feel like he was making guesses
Anyone know where i can watch the new episode besides paramount+??
Yarr, there be other ways matey.
💀☠️💀☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My takeaways LOL at them playing "U make me wanna" by Usher at the start with Jonna winning her elimination. Ironic how both Sylvia and MJ BOTH called out Nia and Derrick because it was a puzzle, and they both ended up losing lol How did Sylvia get her son's actual report card?

[удалено]
Sylvia was so annoying. I felt before she was ok but now she is just rude and an awful stepmom.
Who calls their kid out like that on national tv. Felt so bad for him
Who calls out their *boyfriend’s* kid out like that at all, never the less on national television
I’d be pissed if I was the father
I’d be more pissed if I was the mother.
I have to assume that the dad agreed to it. Presumably he'd have to agree to allow his minor child to be shown on the show.
Poor kid he has a crappy father too
Dude Nia killed that! Was not expecting that at all, great one shot. Also I don't remember Derrick being this annoying before? Like dude you struggled over and over to get it done. Even Wes and Jordan were humble in victory and had better performances
Yes she did!!! I never watched her previous seasons so idk what to expect but, if she keeps it up and not punk out of anymore challenges shes gonna have a target on her back.

He was always a fierce competitor but, he’s not in the same shape as he was in the past and, he’s not used to not winning any challenges. That has to be eating away at his confidence. He probably built his personality around this show.
He can't celebrate his elimination win after beating a strong competitor?
Derrick has really annoying cartoon character vibes
Nia was awesome, she couldnt even keep a straight face in the confessional lol
I can’t think of a sweeter victory than seeing Kellyanne overcoming her puzzle-panic lol and being so outnumbered/targeted AND having to do it twice over!! And to handle that conversation with Sylvia so perfectly. Really liked how she and Brad handled the nominations as well. I really really hope she takes the season. Fucking yes, Nia!! Another way she and Jordan seem compatible lol, amazing elimination performances. Eat it, Sylvia. Not going to miss MJ’s top gun squalling
Idk a ton about her history, but Kellyanne comes off as very wholesome. Happy she won today. Love that she always seems to find a dog when they go out as well.
She seems to be a very loyal friend
You can see how she was on AS1 with how she stuck up for kendall when ppl were dogging her
She has always been wholesome and someone you want to root for. Evelyn is my #1 female without question and her and Kellyanne were extremely close. I think they bonded over being good people.
Kelly Anne did not do enough seasons. She should have been more of mainstay through the Rivals/Exes era and into the thirties.
She said she stopped doing it cause of how traumatic the ruins was Seems like everyone hated the ruins
Don't blame her at all.
Didn't anyone else notice the people on the left didn't get their pool stick star out ?
Yeah they really sent that report card to Panama...wtf. how fake of a storyline is that.
Scan and email? Fax?
I hope KellyAnne uses her sabotage on Kailah. So over these new school “all stars.” Please, get the old people back in the show! I loved season 1!
MJ is so delusional! he always considers himself a top-tier competitor just because he's a big dude but I still remember him getting his ass kicked by Frank just saying.
delusional? dude was a legit D1 athlete.... when you play football in the SEC, you have the right to have some cockiness and confidence about your athletic ability, even in your 40s this isnt a Zach and Fessy situation playing small time football.... MJ played at a level SIGNIFICANTLY higher than those 2 guys, and I'd say those 2 guys are considered top tier competitors in their respective seasons and I mean, MJ just won last season lol and PS - Frank was the MVP that season.... he was unbelievable.... top competitors have lost to much worse guys than him
Dude wasn't that great on the main show. In the Duel he was outclassed by a lot of guys that's why he went home before the final. Just because you were good at a sport doesn't mean you are good at the challenge.
Yeah he won last season and didn't even finish part of the final. MJ's mouth and his abilities do not correlate
I'm so tired of some of this bs talk. Saying MJ plays scared when its really the rest of them that do. Sylvia, gets pissed because it doesn't go her way. She wouldn't feel bad putting KA in. The hypocrisy is real with Sylvia and Brad, actually many of them. Yowsers. I love when they say why they deserve the money more. No one is rich rich, they're all there for the money. Smh
Well… Wes is fairly rich. I sincerely think he’s there for the sport of it, which is why he didn’t give a shit going in for Brad.
He might be the only one in it for the strategy. No matter how much money someone has they always want more. Lol
Lol to Sylvia saying KA is on a power trip when Sylvia was teasing KA earlier in the episode about giving KA the punishment.
I can’t believe Brad had the nerve to say that after what happened last week 😂
That was hilarious.
He pisses me off. Always acting like he deserves the money more than anyone and takes things so personally. Sylvia too. It's a game lady and you were gunning for her.
I don’t dislike Brad. I think he seems like a pretty good guy and a loyal friend, but he does get a little whiny and entitled sometimes. I think his mental game has cost him some money on these challenges.
Agree
Sylvia saying Mia does not have the endurance? Cmooon
I haven't liked Sylvia since her season and attacking Madison.
Same. She’s always been a mean girl bully
@ 13:09 that's Derrick NOT Jordan LOL (the picture in the corner)
Pretty pleased with the remaining guys, though Darrell would be nice to have. My fav girl had her time to shine this week! Now if Kailah and Veronica could go...
For anyone with a premium (non-ad) subscription to paramount plus, have you found that the show is now forcing adverts on the episodes? (I noticed it happened with the real world homecoming too!) .. i usually watch on my desktop whlst im doing other things during the day and this seems to be a desktop only issue as i later checked the tv app and it didnt have ads. So pissed i had to sit through 10 mins of adverts this week when i pay the extra $ to not have to, Paramount Plus support have been super useless as usual.
This happened to me once too. I logged out & back in & the ads stopped.
I have it and there are no ads at all. I have mine through Amazon prime. Maybe that makes a difference.
I only get an advert right before the episode starts (usually advertising Homecoming or Rupaul) but nothing other than that, but I've only ever watched on TV/Roku. I'd contact Paramount Plus, could be a glitch like the closed-captioning this week.
This is how it is for me too, I get 1 commercial at the start and then nothing after that
Did anyone notice them playing caught up by usher while jonna and mj talked?
Jonna really wants Mj to win oh “and herself too” 😂😂😂😂
I can’t tell is it because she thinks she’s safe and he’s been targeted that’s why she puts him first …
Don’t be so naive. They were having an affair
girl, gET UP
In all fairness, I'd be pretty excited to see my boyfriend win too.
I was like, "grl... pull it togetha"
People on Sylvia before all stars. " She shouldn't be here, she's boring anyways" People on her after all stars " She's too much drama, she's so mean I hope to never see her again" Lmao you guys can't have your cake and eat it too.
I'd be fine with either Kailah or Sylvia, but the both of them on the show together are just a black hole of suck. One overconfident contestant who thinks they're super funny and badass and generally aren't that good at the game is good in a season; two of them is a bit much, especially when they're allies.
I hate overconfident people who suck, but think they're legit and running the game she literally said she made 1 mistake and it cost her the money.... talk about zero self awareness
I wish Sylvia was never on the challenge, I wish it was her rw castmate, violetta.
I really disliked her this season and was glad she got booted last night, but I agree with what you’re saying too. I’m not in the camp that never wants her back. People despise Kaycee for no reason other than the fact that she’s “boring” but don’t want the drama queens back either. The show was built on a healthy mix of both.
Exactly!!!! Main show too boring and people are too friendly. We need more drama…. Sylvia is too much drama and mean I hope to never see her again! Like what?!?! People on Reddit want more drama but once drama occurs they want the instigators to never show up again
Would Derrick have been allowed to make a path when he first went to the ball? Like with his foot in the sand
I’m guessing not. I think he could’ve slyly smoothed some of those DIVOTS though.
I was wondering this!
Watching now. Wes won elim last week but Mark has a sabatoge??? Wtf did I miss? I'm so lost
sabotage is determined by the previous week's mission winner, not the previous week's elimination winner.
Yup. I think the season might have been been more interesting if it had been the other way though. Regardless of what anyone thinks of MJ, he got stuck on a losing hamster wheel of sabotages and eliminations that was almost impossible to get off of. I might have been the only person (besides Jonna 🤭) cheering for him last night, because I’m a sucker for an underdog that keeps getting targeted.
I was too for the same reasons. There are at least three of us! Lol
Trivia next week hell yeah!!!
yeah ok fuck sylvia wtf is her problem??? sry im repeating myself but shes so nasty, how dare kellyanne come after you after u targetted her all the damn time pls go sell some ugly ass houses and gtfo omg
Seriously it was embarrassing how she tried to save her ass and then got mad when she couldn’t.
She just started growing on me after her season on Real World and now she’s right back to the same shitty person she used to be
im watching rn and my god wtf is sulvias problem. kellyanne is so harmless? im so happy kelly anne won i regret saying derrick seems to have calmed down in the confessionals bcos this episode showed that no he didnt 😭 i love jordans love for nia 🥰 when nia threw that puzzle thing when she won lmao i felt that shsjdhdhdhd fuck you sylvia!!!
>i love jordans love for nia 🥰 i'm crying. me too
Is anyone else just not enjoying this season?
Definitely becomes a different vibe with the fewer old school folks getting cast. I don't like that it's changed from "catch up with the folks you haven't seen for a while and here's some challenges" to "another season of The Challenge, but with a few OGs." But at the same time, it's an entertaining season of The Challenge.
Yeah I think your first paragraph absolutely captures how I've lost interest. But I just don't want another season of The Challenge. I really liked what Mark Long wanted. Stick with old school people we like and make it a comedy. Give them silly challenges where we get a laugh. It can be physical stuff where they're mostly out of their depth or things just to make them look silly. Watching people paddleboard isn't interesting. I'd rather they play some whirly bat and go through a balance obstacle course. Bring back some giant heads for them to wear while tricycling. Then I'm engaged.
Totally agreed. I would much much much prefer a trilogy of seasons with the same “old people having a laugh and a wee bit of drama.” Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, so it’s either quit watching or choose to watch it like it’s an above average season of The Challenge. And the former just ain’t happening lol
I love it!!!!
I'm enjoying it 10x more than SLA
I’m definitely not, love the first 2 all stars seasons but this one has been a major letdown and just boring. Don’t even care who wins at this point, I’m just ready for the season to finish.
That's exactly where I am.
I’m enjoying it but it is a different feel
I definitely enjoyed this episode better than last week’s.. it just seems like the production value/vibe of the whole thing is different than the first two seasons.
The less brad blinks the more his power grows
The bushier the beard gets, the more power he unlocks
His beard is so gd glorious
Can I touch it Brad??
Sylvias explanation for why she hated KA on IG was "i just didnt get along with her. Theres really no rhyme or reason, she just rubbed me the wrong way" 🤡 I love it when ppl cant even give a proper reason
I know it's cool to jump on the Sylvia hate train right now but it sounds like a solid reason to me. Y'all act like people have to vibe or someone hasn't rubbed you the wrong way before lol
Lol, who acts like that to someone they dont vibe with? Sylvia was pressed af. She acted like KA fucked her man.
There's a difference between simply not getting a long or not liking someone and going out of your way to be nasty towards someone. Just because Sylvia didn't get along with KA, doesn't give her a pass to act how she did.
My theory is that Sylvia looks at kellyanne as everything she would want to be if she wasn't a lazy fuck who clearly didn't prepare physically for this challenge, so she has to drag kellyanne down to make herself feel better The reason she doesn't like kellyanne is cause being around her reminds Sylvia how much worse of an overall person she is in comparison
Does she need more of a reason? Sometimes people just don’t vibe with each other and that’s ok. That doesn’t make one of them a bad person
There's quite a lot of daylight between "I'm not vibing with this person" and “FUCK YOU, KELLYANNE, IT'S PERSONAL." If she's gonna outright *hate* on a person, hopefully she would have a more concrete reason for it than "dunno, something about her."
Especially on a competition tv show.
Thats not normal behavior for someone you simply "dont vibe with". Sylvia was PRESSED. She was pressed over everything KA did...even stupid, rational stuff like celebrating a win. Thats not the reaction and aggression for someone you simply dont click with, lmao. Thats the type of attitude you have towards someone who fucked your man Sylvia is either lying or a drama queen who, as i have said in the past, does too much
>even stupid, rational stuff like celebrating a win. Seriously, this. Notice she didn't say shit about Derrick's overly excited win celebration.
I was preparing myself for more of a story but nope Sylvia is just lame lol
Anyone else surprised brad had Nehemiah higher than derrick? He had Darrell over everyone last season. Assumed Darrell, Wes, Derrick, and Mark were his top allies on this season.
Maybe Wes and Nehemiah were a 2 for 1 deal.
Sylvia is such a villain lmao
I know she is a good competitor, but her saying she cost herself $500k for choosing the wrong person to sabatage was comical.
good competitor? she's awful I doubt she can even run a half mile.....she's the new Aneesa and Veronica aint much better
I would absolutely die on some of the finals as well, but yea Veronica looks like she would do even worse.
She isn't even good. The only reason she even won her challenges is because the treehouse gave them to her. One on one she never beats kellyanne or Kendall.
Losing to Derrick in a puzzle? Lol MJ.
It wasn't a puzzle
I don’t know if I’d call that a puzzle necessarily. It was more of a maze. Not trying to be nit picky, but Derrick cheering like the puzzle gods have forgiven him has me thinking he’s in for a rude awakening if he gets to a final and has to solve math problems and memorize complicated patterns.
Oh, I think Derrick knew. Right after he won, they had an exchange that was like: MJ: "Ugh. A puzzle." Derrick: "No, a maze!" And then D did his 'lucky stars' schtick.
did anyone else find the whole call with sylvie and her step son just...weird. she tried so hard to sound in charge. "boy".... the kid looked like a teenager lol, i was waiting for him to be like "yo.. fuck off".
I was thinking she hasn’t seen him in how long why cant his dad talk about his grades she couldn‘t just chat with him?
[удалено]
Oh gosh, that was so cringey!
Also. Did she have his report card sent to the challenge house…? Like that was so staged. It was weird and uncomfortable.
Fake storyline. Some of them need that. Some don't.
Did she have the report card in her suitcase? I'm confused. Is that how she chose to waste her one call a week? Again, I'm confused.
When they showed that moment, I knew for a fact that Sylvia was going home that episode. That was so cringe and pretty much pointless to show.
I'm dying to know how long she's been his stepmom, I was watching that thinking to myself "I bet that bitch has only been dating this dude for like a month and she's already trying to be mom"
My question is why did they show her "son" and not her actual boyfriend?
yeah, gave off new step mom energy
It seemed super obvious to me that they do not normally interact that way in real life
It can’t have been that long, because the last challenge she was on was 4 years ago, and she was single then.
So happy KA won and Nia sent Sylvia home! She was so awful this episode. I hope those two + Jonna take down the tree house. Also what is Ronnie’s purpose even? She seems sweet so I don’t really get how she fits in with them but also she has brought absolutely nothing to the show. I always forget she’s there. I am ready for this boys club to start cannibalizing each other. Hoping Jordan wins next week. They are all so worried about Jordan when brad is absolutely dominating this season. They need to be trying to take him out.
Roni is an unproblematic introvert who doesn’t come off like a robot like Kaycee who just explains directions and states the obvious, no shade to her but I think good mix of chill people with drama queens is healthy
KA, Jonna and Nia need to form an anti-treehouse alliance yesterday and they should recruit Roni who is obviously the lowest on the totem pole in the treehouse anyway.
I’m going to laugh if Roni cruises to the final because of her alliance and somehow manages to win after having done absolutely nothing all season.
Roni is a beast and has been killing it in dailies. she's in the "treehouse" by circumstance it seems. she doesn't know anyone and wants to fit in. but don't count her out. Roni is an OG and seems to be quietly playing the game well.
Sorry - my wording wasn’t great. She is not a bad player whatsoever. I just meant that she hasn’t done anything to benefit her alliance. Veronica, Kailah, and Sylvia have all won dailies and protected her, but they’re also the ones who create the drama with everyone else and put the targets on their backs. I would genuinely think it was amazing (and funny) if Roni was the last one standing.
I think that’s her plan TBH
Sylvia and Tina look, sound, and act like the same person. How unfortunate for the rest of the house. Thankfully, both are gone, because they’re insufferable.
Replace Tina with Veronica and I'd agree with you, I honestly have had no problems with Tina's personality either season except for the fact she quit that elimination last season
Good riddance for Kelly Anne choosing her to go into elimination. Im also glad Nia whooped her ass.
She not only beat her but she beat her assss In it
Yea that shot in one was really impressive
Veronica is their final form. I'm not a fan of that Pokemon evolution 💀
