I feel like overall these challenges have been a poor representation of someone's CHALLENGE PROWESS

Other than the one with the soccer game, there hasn't really been a challenge that featured physical contact. I mean we've had a smattering of winners on the guys side with no standouts, and Laurel/Theresa standing out on the girls side because the rest of the girls are not athletic in any sense of the word (except Cara and Camila who feature moderate athleticism)

Theresa being afraid of eliminations is not a good look. Her Cara and laurel will never lose.

Zimmer is right. Since most finales rely heavily on being fit (typically endurance more so than strength), these challenges haven't been a good bellwether of how someone will perform in that context. Of course you gotta get there first, and apparently that involves being wrapped in plastic while rolling around in sand, driving a stick shift and then a tricycle, and balancing on a beam at high altitude. Good fun but lots of variance.

That reminded me of the Jordan balancing beam controversy when they could have passed and his ego got in the way.

The dude is a confirmed head case.

I remember on one of the old Challenge radio podcasts them saying he just races people on a rock wall at his gym everyday for free coffee. CT an elite climber besides the fact he would let have to strike anything and just make grips for himself everytime he reaches up.

Agreed that the challenges themselves have been fairly weak.

Been saying this for weeks.

Jessica put him in his place in an earlier episode, was 100% correct on the assessment of his performances and a few in here were like ohhhhh Jessica sucks, Jessica is annoying, Jordan is awesome blah blah blah. I'll take the time to defend Jessica here too, although some of these challenges are crazy in variance which has been pointed out she always seems to put in a decent showing. Winning the whole thing is a pipe dream but I think she's more of a threat than most give her credit for.

Any books offer gambling on the Challenge? Would be curious what a Laurel vs the field bet would have looked like pre show and even moreso now. It's basically a Tiger vs the field bet when he was dominating in his prime.

lol at Jordan sucking at all the challenges. The guy is obviously feared and a good athlete. Bananas looked shook when Jordan pulled over all of the cards.

Funny how on a poker forum a sample of 1 head to head challenge is what we decide everything on. As Jordan said, he looks like an idiot if he loses and a badass if he wins.

Laurel 80%
Cara 15%
Theresa 5%
Aneesa -5%

Really need an injection of female talent either athletically or entertainment/slut wise.

Was rooting for Jordan mainly because of underdog reasons and Bananas becoming a little too smug for my liking. Jordan troll factor after a win would have been great.

Think Jordan would have a good shot at cardio type challenges. Doesn't have much of a shot at anything else.

Jordan was drawing pretty thin on that wall climb. He doesn't look like a badass if he wins, he still would look stupid because it was unnecessary.

We're clearly talking about this season only where he didn't do anything but talk and talk and talk and never perform. Good strategy to keep yourself on future shows, but the guy came across horribly douchetastic this season and his report card reflects that.

It was a ballsy move that didn't payoff.

Almost felt bad watching Jordan try to slam his nub through that drywall but he's a dick so instead I had a good laugh.

Jordan haters just want to see the same crap where bananas just flies into the finals with 0 resistance like he has for the past 4 seasons in a row.

Yeah it didn't work but it was massively entertaining

Haters ghana hate. Jordan has more heart than all of you! Oh how soon we forget that Jordan destroyed Swift in a challenge the week before! Yes Swift is a manlet but Jordan wasn't Preston where he hung around doing nothing.
