The SE CHALLENGE Thread - Page 58 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I also thought the challenge troll was good. I think the CHALLENGE this week was terrible though and not knowing where someone was at in the maze or why they were stuck was tilting.

Ya I thought the concept of the maze was pretty cool but the camera angles made it pretty awful for viewing.

cmon bro you are underestimating LEROY

clearly theresa was plan A all along, he has managed to throw out a strong NEG to take control and show his dominance acting like she is second-rate without having to say anything

tbone gif is goat but man the and i mean that one is really elite

the absolute worst a challenge episode can be is like a 5 so < 5 does no compute. still incredible entertainment even at its worst.

Diem is just an awful person. So damn annoying.

It's just so lame that there is nothing on the line when the guys go and it's a girl challenge day, and vise versa.

To make things fair Emily and Preston should switch teams.

Bad episode overall. Knight and Teej delivered. Knight is clearly #2 this year but episodes without much CT suffer

Wes needs to step up

So much filler in that episode to make up for the lack of an elimination. Cooke and Cara Maria need to start whoring it up big time too, that's their only hope.

Just wanted to thank OP for this thread. I had no idea this show existed, it's amazing. Had to start from S13 to understand the dynamics. Have to admit i found TJ kinda boring at first but started feeling him soon after.

On: On paper the favs are either Fraaaank and Johnny or CT and Wes imo but CT or Wes are gonna find a way to **** it up.

marlon/jordan are probably just as strong as some of the others, but i think once preston/knight go home they are going to be the default team to vote in

I think they trolling elimination would have been better if it was drawn out a bit more rather than going for the shock aspect.

TJ could have asked one of the teammates to risk going home alone allowing their partner to stay and find a new partner, and that way we could see a little fighting first, then come in with the fakeout, but I was more upset that I didn't get to see Cara do her thing.

You're not giving Jordan's WIM nearly enough credit. Also, while Jordan/Marlon may see more eliminations, they would absolutely smoke zach/trey and Roylee/Ty (because lolTy) in a final. I have zero faith in Trey, if the challenge isn't something where Zach can literally and figuratively carry him then he's just gonna be an anchor for Thor.

I guess i coulda given them 10-12 pct equity but they are prob going to have to win 2 or possibly even 3 jungles to get there. They arent THAT strong as competitors and its not clear that theyd own at endurance; similarly its not clear that trey would be bad at a final since strength largely becomes less important (unless he sucked in a final in a prior season that i missed).

Ty really does suck and will prob end up undermining roylee

Eta- i guess another thing is that it could be a 4 team final which would give their equity a nice spike. 7 is prob a bit low

Any old school challenge fans remember this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_UTNr3QwlE

Julie (original RW New Orleans) tries to rip Veronica (RR South Pacific) out of her harness suspended like 200 feet in the air, starts around the 5:00 mark.

Julie had a ton of WIM.

the funny part about that video is that the producers could have easily pressed the horn to end the challenge if they were that worried, but they know good TV when they see it.

That season had such weak inferno's. Though CT going in for Dave and beating Shane in the cookie challenge was hilarious. CT said something like "I just wanted to break my diet and eat milk and cookies."

I think Katie won two inferno's that season, one while smoking on a treadmill. And obviously the Katie-Veronica fight is amazing. Though funniest moment was Abram going down the building singing.

Abram GOAT.

As far as this most recent episode. Was meh. They did an electric chair challenge in Inferno 3. Cara made some sexy noises and Janelle went full creepy while it was happening. Abram also had a solid confessional during that too if I remember correctly.
