lolo is such a ****ing baby.

yeah weird, gotta be something more to that or she was just sick of the living conditions

good chance that people aren't just frozen out of final

does lolo realize how much more embarrassing it is to just quit?

also another episode where nam talks about some back injury mutiple times despite no evidence of one at all in the actual footage. weird

i was pissed at no elim and whatever random rule change is happening, but then saw the episode was titled "An Inconvenient Goof" which had me cracking up

security breach sounds real DIRTY by teej

Agreed, they have to be somewhere around 80% through shooting at the point she quit. After never winning a daily she may be thinking she doesn’t want to get embarrassed in a final.

I am disappointed TEEJ didn’t get to call her a quitter - I think he’s getting soft.

Lolo got wayyyyyyyyyyy too much airtime for how bad she was and is such a sore loser.

What are the chances that CT wins and takes Kam?

I assume the SECURITY BREACH is just another girl coming back to replace Lolo. Probably Tori - I assume because of Covid screening they have to have someone who was already in Iceland.

There needs to be some good twists coming. This show could be so fun if it had some think on the fly writers/producers. I just watch to be disappointed.

Just make Nam and Cory a team.

If Devin is eliminated this season almost becomes unwatchable. Mostly boring players left. I guess Kyle, Kam, BigT, bring some value.

Lolo not knowing how to swim wtf?

Probably going to be a men’s double elimination. Team with next most votes goes down. CT gets the goof and Devin gets (?).

Much better than Ashley coming back a 3rd time

This really nailed it. Also when everything about the rules of the game is uncertain it means none of the "twists" really land since no one has that foundation of expectations for the game.

If you want to freeze CT out of the final then why didn't the alliance just vote in someone who doesn't have a skull instead of giving him Devin?

That was my first thought. If you have a skull you want to put in the weakest non-skuller and if you don't have one you want to put in Nam.

They must (correctly) believe that there is no way they would have an elimination with no skull on the line. That would make winning any daily challenge completely meaningless.

My guess is that CT would have the right to choose someone with a skull to go against instead.

I hope the breach is a double male elimination to even up the numbers. Not knowing the rules has been pretty bad for viewing, but having so many girls leave didn't really help. Bringing back Tori this late after so much time off is insane.

Also gotta say it is pretty weak for Darrell not to stick with CT in favor of those big brother losers.

Darrell just has no idea how to play the actual game. Every season he's won its because he has enough friends to skate by as the #4 or #5 in the power alliance then win one or two elims when he inevitably gets voted in after he's on the outside of the numbers.

I assume he's closest with Aneesa who is hooked in with Big Brother people and therefore is just sticking with the numbers.

I saw the post-show on Youtube and Darrell said he is closest with Leroy/Kam in the house so he mostly just did what they told him and they were hooked up with big brother alliance.

Agree, he gets rolled in these shows politically. Just doesn't know how to turn his prowess in the game into alliances/votes which is something Bananas is really good at. People somewhat fear him.

Darrell won 4 but 3 of them were back in the big team challenge days (Gauntlet 1, Inferno 1/2 on stacked teams, road rules would kill RW in those things) and then he won with Aviv in FM1 which was impressive but they were a really strong team and the desire to get the Austin alliance out carried them through that season from what I recall.

That being said, he's probably making the right move to side against CT as the rest of the cast probably can't beat him in a final. Maybe CT can't either in his current state but I'm sure Darrell has a healthy amount of respect for him from competing over the years.

Darrell also knocked out Brad in a fight + defeated Zach, who's the biggest guy ever on the show in a physical elimination. I'd say you don't want to see Darrell in an elimination nor final.

Well they did make the point of showing Leroy and Cam's random votes for Nam and Lolo, which makes me think perhaps they would have Nam go against Devin since he got the 3rd most votes.

As for why Leroy and Kam voted for Nam and Lolo in the first place, I have no idea. Maybe because they knew the Devin vote was a lock and just wanted to toss votes somewhere else in case there was a twist. That would be pretty next level thinking though.

There's really no excuse to have a 90 minute episode without an elimination at the end. So much filler in this show. The entire "deliberation" is pointless, everyone's votes are already determined by that point.

Yeah that's odd I wonder if he is going to either lose an elimination or have to quit in the middle of one due to the supposed back injury. Can't imagine they would mention it multiple times without it having some importance later on.

Seriously biggest waste of potential show I've ever seen.

I don’t think those 2 are capable of that level of thinking. In fact, I’m not sure anyone in that house right now is capable of it.

Lolo tweeted that production told her to make a reason why she was quitting the show that could be aired. I guess she was complaining a lot to production and she wasn't happy that she didn't feel the rules were enforced correctly with CT/BigT when they won.

The tweets are near the top

the tweets actually say production forced her to quit...
"mtv the challenge forced me to quit, and that is facts."
&
"God knows how hard I fought to stay after meetings w producers"

doesn't seem very believable.

If the alliance votes in someone without a skull, then CT will have no incentive to go into elimination and one of Leroy, Fessy, or Josh is going in against Nam/Darrell/Cory with their own skull up for grabs

Producers probably realized they screwed up and there can't be a skull-less elimination, otherwise I'd assume they wouldve thrown skull-less down there vs CT
