I dont think the kaycee/nany paradigm has any legs.

It was fun when she had to eliminate her girlfriend but that is in the past and I dont see either of these two doing something interesting ever again.

Kaycee just gets gifted so much with her gf and Fessy always being in the house with her. And in general she just sucks.

Bananas seems flat in the clips i've seen, why isnt he stirring the pot?

Has he lost his fastball? He's gotta be pretty rich now, probably tough to get up for these things

It's odd that he's obviously having some sort of romance with Moriah, but they are hardly showing or discussing it. Usually this show is all over any hookups going on.

But yeah, Bananas is probably approaching the "too old for this ****" threshold, if he's not already past it.

I was surprised he didn’t say this when he was being interviewed by team underdogs after his team lost to make sure he wasn’t the house vote.

Yeah Banana's is 40 now. He's not long for this game. Maybe one or two more seasons max.

Honestly, I think Johnny has been sand bagging a ton this season. There is zero consequence for losing daily’s and you don’t get enough of an incentive to win. Him and Nany have their social game pretty well locked in and guys like Devin or Nelson aren’t trying to take him out each challenge. His time doing the main challenge is limited, but I think he’s letting a lot of people fight it out and not getting his hands dirty more than him fading (at this moment)

I think he’s pretty well-equipped to run the final. He doesnt seem to have quit training. Experience does help. And he’s smarter than most other crayons in the box. He’s in general, extremely well rounded as a competitor. No achilles heel you can point to.

Nightmare is going into the Presidio against Faysal next time. he’s a big underdog, but Id bet they give him a puzzle of some sort.

I wasnt 100% sure he was romantic with Moriah until someone said it itt. Many things could be going on there. But If they had interesting footage, they’d show it. Experience helps.

It could easily be Nany/John versus Fessy/Moriah heads up for the money. Hopefully we get more context if it’s warranted

John should throw this challenge to save Moriah. And Moriah should throw the next one. Get points for saving John and Fessy.
I’m surprised we havent seen this yet

Considering how unimpressive many of the competitors are, why couldn't a motivated 50 year old compete? If fans still want him on the show and he still wants to do it, the competition is certainly not something a 50 year old couldn't do.

This is not meant as an insult but Kaycee seems to be getting noticably more butch each season. Would not surprise me in the least if she just transitions at some point like Elliot Page etc.

yeah Bananas and CT can do this forever as long as the pipeline remains weak

The show is really on its last legs though, I'll watch the eliminations on youtube but I can't bring myself to watch a full 60-90 min show or however long it is now

They need a season where they get tons of big dogs back all at once to revive interest. They've been kinda good at that over the years when they could tell the franchise was teetering

I’d say that the sheer amount of spin-offs means that the show/franchise is stronger than ever and certainly not on its last legs.

We do need some younger people to start actually stepping up. Nelson needs to stop playing with his heart and actually get a mean streak. Nurys was helping him to one of his best seasons and the twist really screwed that up. Tori/Devin/Faysal need to get a proper win under their belts as well. The talent is there, they just need to step up

i was listening to JOHNS podcast when he had nelson on their. They basically said since cancel culture out there so strong that everyones basically trying to stay on there best behavior in regards to why we rarely see any crazy outburst

It’s not cancel culture. It’s just how repeated game play works lol

If you f around, you find out

You can do it. As long as you apologize and grow from it.
And as long as you dont mention race, religion, or sexual preference

Horacio kinda smoked Jordan in that

Jordan strategy seemed wrong, he tried to be aggressive on defense and step towards him when he should've been more patient

but Horacio just seemed more built for that game in general

I feel like Jordan's athletic prowess is overblown. He's an above average athlete for sure but not super big/strong like Fessy and not super agile like Horacio. I think he talks a big game and may be a good leader, but he's far from the biggest threat.

That being said I'd expect him and Aneesa to beat Kaycee and and Kenny. Kenny clearly the worst male competitor by a wide margin.

Tough to imagine Fessy not winning this season. He's getting a good edit, has a decent partner, and is just bigger and stronger than anyone else. I guess a tough puzzle could derail him but otherwise he's the likely winner imo.

Don't know if I agree with that, I'd say Jordan athletic prowess is pretty legit

Horacio is just legit too and about 10 years younger probably (I think?), Jordan getting older. RW Portland was like 10 years ago. He does triathlons and is an endurance freak as well.

Just purely athleticism Jordan blows away Bananas, Wes for instance
