You mean the climbing challenge? I guess that's the best shot but she's probably got a 1+ foot reach on every girl and should have no problems busting holes in the wall. It would take a major screw up on her part to lose.

It makes sense for Theresa (really all the girls) to take every shot at Laurel whenever they can if they are not the ones that would have to compete with her. They are hoping that one of the other girls luckboxes a win to eliminate her, but I think it still makes sense. The whole "when I win this elimination challenge I'm not gonna forget this" bs is not something that should scare the girls in the slightest bit. It makes NO gameplay sense for guys to vote Laurel in.

Man i dont know why i keep watching this thing since i always finish this angry as ****.

1- Jordan, stop running your mouth, you did great as a rookie but this season you're sucking big ****ing time.

2- Bananas: Jordan is right, stop getting free passes to the finals ffs, glad he went in (glad he won tbh, want to see him against Jordan and potentially CT/Zach)

3- Laurel's im superbadass i wont forget this, no mercy blablabla talking, yeah, we get it, you're like 95%+ to get to the finals and you're a big favourite to win the whole thing and you know it too. Would you run your mouth so ****ing much against stronger competition? dont know, but i guess not.

4-Preston's talking, cmon dude you did good on this week's challenge, ill give you that, but what else? you've historically sucked every single time. Just get drawn and go home (and dont come back ever please)

5-Isaac, just one of those roided guys that dont have it, still better than Preston (and probably Swift, want to see that guy on a elimination round)

Also, lol'd hard at "thats technically because of legal reasons"


Yeah, im mad this week again.

It's so silly when people say "now I'm going for all the people that voted me in."

Uhm, you still only have the power of one vote so that's quite a empty threat.

If I were a girl in the game, my top priority would be being on Laurel's good side. By that, I mean scissoring her. But seriously, there's no point of sending her in because no one in this bunch has a chance against her in any of these eliminations. For the guys, you can send in who you want because there's a lot of competition. Probably had a 25 percent chance of Bananas losing on that draw.

Isaac has got to be one of the worst, pathetic competitors ever. What a waste of space that guy is.

What do you people have against swift anyways?, cause hes small & talks a big game?.

I mean hes clearly one of the smartest guys on the show,dude is a lawyer from what i remember. Surprising he hasn't been sent in yet though.

Next challenge they really need to invite back evelyn & emily, laurel have no competition. Wanna see landen back in there as well.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAH Swift is a dolt. Did you not watch the previous episode?!?!? He voted the only guy in that he was friend with. Swift is just skating by because he is on the winning team during the challenge, he will end up on the elimination against a vet and get smashed no doubt.

Laurel can do whatever the fuq she wants because there is zero chance of anyone beating here in an elimination. The eliminations cycle so the 4 we have seen are the only 4 we are going to see barring some unforeseen challenge twist.

Johnny has earned everything in these challenge games, he could slate to final of every challenge and it would prolly be deserved.

That was an awesome episode until we can got an unlucky draw for the elimination challenges. CT vs Johnny and Laurel vs Aneesa would've been some good tv.
I needed to pause for a minute I was laughing so hard at Leeroy's response to Laurel giving him the deathstare for voting her in.

As good as that hour was, the aftershow was the worst challenge related thing I have ever seen. All the aftershows this year have been really bad when there is a lot of potential there for some good stuff.

1. Performances in past challenges should have no bearing on the current challenge. What kind of ******ed, mouth-breathing logic are these contestants using? Just because you've been on many challenges and/or performed well on some, you somehow deserve to coast to the money?

Can you imagine if that type of ****** logic was applied to other competitions? What if in the NBA finals, the team that has been there more often says "well you know, we've gone to the finals a bunch more times than you so I think we should start off every game with a 20-point lead."

2. Laurel is overrated. She's tall and probably has a lot of endurance (athletic is a surprisingly vague word). That doesn't mean she's unbeatable and just because she beat one of the weakest contestants in Challenge history doesn't mean much. She should be ashamed Jasmine even scored once.

3. Isaac is just dumb as hell. Johnny had the appropriate strategy of feinting and spinning to get to the hole (and Isaac kept falling for it by going for the ball instead of Johnny's legs/torso) while Isaac kept running directly into Johnny on his turns. Why would you want to turn this into a wrestling match unnecessarily? It's not like you're facing Preston.

4. CT flips a blank

TJ: "Congrats, Johnny"

Yes, past performance shouldn't mean you get to coast into the final. However, Johnny doesn't need to earn any stripes. He's the most accomplished challenge competitor of all time.

Laurel being overrated is a joke. Only Emily has a chance against her in a physical competition. She's a beast. How can she be overrated when no female on this season could come close to touching her? I think she'd also handle half the guys.

This isn't a frat. It's a competition. He goes into the elimination round because it's part of the game.

You don't think Laurel's overrated but then say she can handle half the guys lol

You probably think just because she's tall, she's a physical powerhouse. A common misconception. A lot of the competitors thought Nia would be a physical force simply because she's tall. She ended up sucking terribly.

^^^ Go watch back earlier shows with evelyn, pretty sure i remember eve carrying more weight than luke & it was nothing for her. She got gr8 strength/endurance for her size. Lauren is 6ft or whatever but she isn't in the shape eve was in & emily is in prob better shape than them all but not sure if shes as athletic as evelyn.

I would think Laurel could handle Evelyn in a physical competition, but I don't underestimate Evelyn. She's probably the best competitor among the women.

I'm not saying that Johnny shouldn't go into an elimination. As I said, his past success shouldn't mean he can coast. I'm just saying it's out of line to say he has to earn his stripes, as Jordan did. He's earned his stripes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't throw him in at every opportunity to try to get the winningest player out. And among the men, there are players with a decent shot at beating him.

have you ever watched Laurel in previous challenges? Her and Emily are easily the nos 1 and 2 when it comes to girls (that includes Ev who has brought a ton of awesome) and Emily isn't on this challenge.

I've seen her on Cutthroat and Rivals. She didn't stand out much to me. Emily on the other hand isn't just height and hype. She has the strength to back it up.

Ev was good, but she never had the strength of Laurel and was probably about even irt stamina in a long distance run. Basically, Laurel is on a different playing level to every single girl outside of Emily (who is a complete freak)

then I have no clue what to say as Laurel has stood well above other female contestants

1. emily
2. laurel
3. Ev
This is how i see it. the gap between the next tier of players is pretty big IMO
MTV Real World/The Challenge Discussion Thread Quote
05-09-2014 , 11:43 PM
I could see an argument for all 3. Ev would most likely get crushed in eliminations vs laurel or Emily but she'd do much better in the final. Kinda sucks that they'll probably never be on the same challenge.

You should not be allowed to post such stupid comments. Laurel is so clearly the best female it is almost a joke.
