I wonder if having the girl lead on the balance rope would've helped

And shouldn't be a surprise CT failed. He's probably weighing around 235 whereas Nelson 205

No Quitters made a sobering point that Ashley's exuberance in the TH's isn't a good sign as they were presumably filmed after the finale. I don't think that's a spoiler and it allows me to brace myself for a potential Ashley win.

The other thing is, here are the time penalties which each player faced in the two challenges (feel free to correct me):

Nelson - none
Camila - 30 minutes
Nicole - 30
CT - 35 (30 + 5 from Nelson, I think)
Ashley - 35 (30 + 5 from Nicole)
Cory - 60

I'm not sure if it's a penalty or a max time though, like is 30 minutes added to the time it took them to finish? That's a double penalty of sorts if so. Either way it's great news for Nelson, bad for Cory, and the broads' penalties are close to a push.

Camila crying while Ashley openly gloats probably not a good juxtaposition.

Cory gave CT the penalty, but otherwise chart seems right.

Yeah, the way they word those penalties is super vague. Wish they would just treat it like a sporting event & give us the real times along the way.

We've watched the whole season. We're not going to not watch the 2nd half of a 2 part final because we know how big someone's lead is.

is the penalty added on or did they have to wait until time ran out before going to the next part like they've done in the past

if they had to wait before moving forward CT already overtook nelson

What does this mean?

Don't know what TH stands for, but he means the confessional/interview things. Ashley seems gleeful while Camilla seems pissed.

Lol @ CT winning if he somehow pulls this off though. Dude comes in ready to be the starting strong safety for the Ravens for like 10 years and can only get 1 win, then comes in with the dadbod and just takes it home? He's gotta be thinking wtf if he can get it done.

Nicole giving the penalty to Ashley over Camilla was the lamest thing ever. How dumb can you be. Have fun locking up 3rd you moron.

TH = talking heads

By the way they were talking, there's a max time for each individual stop. So if you go over the alotted time then you can just go, or take the time difference in a penalty and go early

Yikes. Are all the confessionals done after the show has finished or just for the final? If it's just for the final, it would be even more concerning considering how cocky Camila was during the middle episodes.

I believe it's the latter.

Even though this elimination is technically 3 days (or 2 nights), it doesn't seem anywhere near difficult as some of the previous ones. Last season's final was freezing weather and they had to switch off standing on a log for an entire night.

Yeah sorry. Just shorter than typing "interviews".

I thought the production cycle was such that every third day was interviews (in between the previous elimination and the next challenge), so interviews already shown would have taken place right after each episode was filmed.

Got it. Thanks!

CT looks awful shirtless but gotta still be a favorite

Binge watched that mtv survior show and I'm fully on board. Laughed so hard every time someone quit.

Just catching up but my god Cory is a legit ******

Nicole is equally as dumb. Legit getting angry watching these idiots

WHY the **** did she just give Ashley the time

Oh my god Nicole is so stupid

Ct legit looks awful

It's dumb that they get to say "at least I finished a final"
When they couldnt even finish one of the obstacles. They should get nothing

Talking heads made me think Camila will win. In the one when she was crying, specifically

One of the best, most memorable moments of this season.

She's not here to make friends baby!

The producers force fed them 27 and they weren't able to divide it by 3 and started laughing

Hopefully finale is good, maybe some reunion fireworks too

doubtful

Reunion is going to suck, there's been virtually zero drama this season. By having such small teams they practically neutered the political game, there was no drama there from the champs and the same alliance for the entire game on the underdogs side, and then at the end game when they might have been forced to make a tough decision, they just decided to go with a three way elimination. Maybe we can count on SHANE to bring seem heat at Nelson, but I imagine that game respects game and he won't be too heated.

And then non-game drama, there's the two rednecks and the Nicole love triangle, which kill me now. Reunion probably won't even be worth watching tbh

CT winning with his dad bod after not winning in his prime inferno 2/duel days would be quite ironic
