only time I'll bother to responding to the nut low CHALLENGE thread poster, but might wanna recheck your facts on that bro.

Hint: Duel I, Bananasbackpack.gif

Spoiled by MTV or not, since the first time i saw the tease of Jordan flipping all the cards I was looking forward to seeing it happen. At the start of last nights episode even after being spoiled from the start and then having every ad for last nights show confirming it was happening, I was still legit excited to see it.

Then after weeks of build up to possibly the GOAT challenge moment, Jordan ****s the bed in the elimination and it isnt even close. I get that it was a bad Elimination challenge for Jordan but the fact that it wasnt even competitive means that for me it isnt close to going down as a Top Challenge Moment.

apologies

just watched derrick vs wes elimination in the duel. pretty elite.

also still can't believe CT ****ed this one up. just a total annihilation in the elimination and ripped the ****ing thing out of the ground lol.

Part of being a good competitor is not allowing your ego to take you down.

When you are in a house with people who don't know where North America is, how to spell "disguise" and are generally uneducated meat heads, proving yourself as having the largest ego is a pretty massive flaw.

What are you trying to argue? That he is good athletically, absolutely. Does he have his moments of success in challenges? Of course he does.

However, it is painfully obvious that his handicap seems to give him a napoleon complex where he has to always be viewed as having the most pride, that he will go after favorites and he will never back down from anything. This directly led to him taking himself out this season. Just last week CT was asking him to sign a waiver so he could knock him in the face.

The dude is obv physically talented, but an elite competitor, no he is not.

I'm sorry but where are all the people getting this, "THIS WAS A BAD GAME FOR JORDAN".
Lets look at the other games and scenarios

The tug of war game. Bananas has like 35 pounds on Jordan and both hands, when you need your strength, weight and .

The basketball game, Jordan cannot shoot or control a ball with one hand with Bananas hitting it out of his hand. Easy win.

And maybe Jordan is faster than Bananas, but in that cage game Bananas trucks him 9 times out of 8 seeing as how he has 35lbs of solid muscle over Jordan.

So which game are we hoping for again with Jordan as a favor or at least even money?

I think cage game pretty random. Not like Bananas is gonna just truck him Zach style. Jordan probably does have elite speed. That would be his game I'd think.

Man, tug of war would have been hilarious for the halfhand. I do think he would have had a chance in the basketball type game, treat it like a football and hold it with one hand and hope to juke him enough to get a clean look, then play defense

must have been some behind the scenes drama as no way bananas would have let jordan flip all the cards if thats what jordan wanted

can you dillholes please watch the second vimeo link so you can see how long CT has been destroying challengers. that was '06-'07. such a string of terrible/stupid luck to only have won once. LOL BIG EASY

brad is pretty respectable too

also:

I dont think Jordan's half hand is a disadvantage in the cage game. The rope game is more about speed at the start and then legs to move the other person. Its not like people are turning around and pulling the rope.

The basketball game is obv a disadvantage but he can still defend pretty good and on offense i think his tactic would be to use his speed/agility to sidestep and avoid Bananas so aslong as he could grip the ball in 1 hand he would be competitive.

Then look at the Wall climb. Everyone just makes a small hole fore their hand and moves on. Everytime Jordan uses the half hand he has to make a massive hole to put his arm through to grip. Then the first time he fails to make a hole with his good hand he falls as he has no grip with the halfhand.

The way i see it is out of the 4 eliminations there are 2 where the halfhand gives little to no disadvantage. 1 where its a disadvantage but can be minimised by other skillsets and 1 where its a massive disadvantage. I dont even like Jordan but this was imo the worst elimination he could have be in.

just watched tbone. will never not be incredible. CT GOAT.

i could watch CT highlights all ****ing day. MTV needs to just marathon the CHALLENGE

Lol at you thinking that his ego was a bad thing for him as a competitor. The dude had some serious confidence and I would argue confidence is never a bad thing.

Wow CT wants to fight someone?!?! They must be an awful person!!!!! The guy that chased someone around the house to fight them must be a good guy!

Getting to the rope first plays a big part in the Tug of War game. Swift vs Jordan showed that.

The basketball game you do not need to hold the ball with 2 hands. Yes it helps to have two full hands to throw the ball in at times but I'm pretty sure that someone as athletic as Jordan knows how to deal with his handicap. That game is fine for him.

The Cage game Johnny would not have just trucked Jordan. That's a hilarious "opinion". Jordan moves a lot better than Johnny.

there is a massive difference between having confidence and torpedoing yourself out of the challenge and getting **** on by TJ on the way out, when your confidence impacts your self-awareness to take on things you can't possibly do, that is inherently bad

right, leroy and zach knew that they could talk jordan into volunteering to go into the elimination out of some crazy sense of pride. its like when you know you can convince your drunk buddy to do anything

now is the time for a CHALLENGE liveblog

BANANAS with the halfhand comment early on

the only thing mysterious about you are your 4 missing fingers

ROYLEE

really interesting quote johnny

yeah they were pushing for it but I think Jordan was fine without any push, he really really wanted to take out Bananas. Possibly at the cost of $125k

how stoned were the producers when they thought of this challenge?

LOL JESSICA LOL LOL LOL LOL

LAUREL with absolute perfect form of course
