Zach trying to keep a serious face and then laughing when he was assuring Britni they woudnt throw her in was hilarious.

And then when she found out she would have to go against Laurel, just the look of defeat on her face was also hilarious

Brad is so dumb it somehow winds up good.

Brad takes steroids. Can't remember all his 6 straight elimination competition wins but I assume most were strength or quickness based and not smarts.

Guess I'm in the minority. I enjoyed the episode. They somehow managed to fit both a challenge and an elimination into the same hour. Been awhile. The challenge was different and exposed those who weren't fit. The troika discussion was unusually entertaining. And Britni got eliminated. Next to Kailah she is probably the person who annoys me most so that was great.

The elim could have been better though. It was basically a race to see who could grip the edge of the platform first, then they just needed to hold / shimmy their way over to the bell. Has to be a better way to implement that.

And Frank...Darrell...Laurel. All legit. Smashley? Uh no, unless it's a smoke cigs and don't eat competition. At least they didn't refer to her as a LEGEND like they did with Aneesa.

Oh and Nicole making Laurel's return all about her was obnoxious. She won't sit on your face anymore. Deal with it.

Laurel Jedi mind ****ing Nicole was impressive.

Devins genius on full display, then he douches it up telling his team they suck from the sidelines.

Now rooting for Nelly T. Just constantly blindsided by life but prevailing. My friend suggested a spin-off where experts explain their field to Nelly T then he has to tell the audience what he learned lol.

brad is a pretty underrated challenger

close 2nd place finishes in both duels and the gauntlet 3
finally win on cutthroat

2nd to last guy eliminated on the inferno 2 in a legendary elimination against psycho abe
2nd to last guy eliminated on the gauntlet 2 in another physical elimination against derrick
2nd to last guy eliminated in the battle of the sexes 2
DQ with darrell in the ruins right before the final

I would definitely watch an episode or two of this show before I got bored

I like Britini, doesn't bother me at all.

But I mean even if you don't...wtf, against Laurel! - whatever you think of Britini, that was just wildy unfair. "Hey you're going into elimination...and you have to face the best player, regardless of sex, ever in the challenge!" I mean c'mon, you had to be pulling for the underdog to have some kind of upset there.

She coulda bullied her way into the troika, then she gets screwed into an elimination. From winning the challenge, to outed by a surprise Laurel appearance. Ouch.

it's dumb that the winning team isnt safe from elim.

gotta keep things DIRTY tho

the team challenges have sucked. especially with uneven teams and a person making the teams.

have they run out of individual challenge ideas?

she added new VENDETTAS

agree the mercenary thing is just kinda dumb given the wildly unequal skill. yeah she probably loses to kam anyway but instead she gets 0% equity because of losing a coin flip

I'm sick of Kam thinking she's good because she beat two mercenaries, when she lucked out on the draw both times or she would have gotten crushed by the other ones.

Wouldn’t she have gone against Anessa and beat Tori? Pretty sure she’s live against anessa.

Wouldn't have minded seeing Kam vs Laurel, and britni vs Ashley would have been much more fair

Yowsers was that a moment!


Yes, and you wouldn't have complained much as a viewer, cause they could have sold it as size vs. size, and it woulda far more sense, although probably still not entirely fair. But Britini vs. Laurel is nuts. I would like to know the timing of when the challenge took place vs. when these mercenaries are brought in, etc. Wonder if they can rig it to make it better.


Also with Laurel - who beats her there anyway - Cara Maria, Emily, or Camila - anyone else with an upset shot there?

Feel like Emily would probably be a favorite, maybe the other two can fight her to a draw, who knows. She's just so much bigger than Cara or Camila, has to count for a lot when you literally have to drag you opponent. Hard to say with the setup of the course though, Laurel's one weakness it appears to me is she doesn't have great sprinting speed, maybe they would have beaten her to the ledge and negated her size advantage by having better leverage to hold on. Who knows though, it's a pretty ****ty and boring elimination, would much prefer hall brawl or something if they're going to be doing a physical elimination.

You guys forgetting about Evelyn, can't bring up the best girls without mentioning her, was hoping to see her as a mercenary.

evelyn is not coming back

Cara said she’s a lawyer on Derek’s pod

Mercenary gave us arguably the best moment in challenge history with the CT backpack but in general it just kinda sucks.

You got people in the house competing against one another and then all of a sudden you have to go against someone in an elimination that is eating healthy, sleeping in their own bed, cycling the best HGH and ready to go. The randomness part is bad too.

Just let the people who are in the game decide who wins and loses.

I would like the mercenary idea if they would bring back one mercenary per sex. Let Laurel take on both of them and save smashley for next time... or never. The randomness of drawing smashley or laurel sucks.

but then whoever gets to go second has a huge advantage

just no way to do it while maintaining GAME INTEGRITY
