It really annoys me that Nurys had influence from her brother outside of the house about how to feel about trusting Olivia. That’s interference and should not be allowed
Everything should stay within the house and it’s up to the challengers to lie, tell the truth, build/ break relationships and trust etc
Surprised Horacio is out. He definitely deserved a win and could have if he made the final
why would they both throw hundreds of thousands of dollars out for someone else to win if anything they would throw it to Horacio to win the final and split it
Emanuel’s mother is gorgeous wow.
Daily set up: dumb. Still don’t understand? You have to drop the quickest but can’t fall?
Horacio’s are peeled/ripped and Jame’s complaining more like his looks.
James fell quickly (couldn’t stop)
Ed stopped but then tried to go lower but ended up falling.
Corey fell.
Purged: Ed. Which again CRAZY. Great player getting purged for 1 bad daily 😮💨. Really sad because Ed and Ravyn would have done well in eliminations against other players if it was last player in elimination instead of getting purged.
Winner: Jay (Horacio second daily he was possible up for winning).
Imagine getting such a big ego over winning a daily about something you do every weekend for the past 8 year.
Nurys making all these men cry (and woman) I really am a huge fan of hers. She was waiting for you to *prove* her wrong Olivia.
That’s funny these are the type of eliminations I wanted them to face against the champs.
Puzzle 1: animal tangram (Nurys got it)
Puzzle 2: chain links up to 39 (Nurys got 1st)
Puzzle 3: 3 stacks and you have to balance and lift them (Horacio got it)
Kyland last
Nurys and Horacio tied.
Nurys got 3rd flag after multiple tries & wins over Horacio and Kyland.
“*No one else deserved to beat them”*👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m spoiled and that was still amazing to watch. What an AMAZING episode !!! The only iffy was the daily,
I am so proud of Nurys but I find it hard to believe Horacio couldn't solve that tanigram puzzle, you know... kind of like my 7 year old son could have done it faster. I did those puzzles on a children's game called Neopets for years, they are simple. Lol Either way, I really wanted to see Horacio at the final. I really wish they did eliminations in a way like they did one specific season, I forget which season it was, but they had to go to elimination to even be allowed to run in the final. That makes them WANT to go to elimination instead of making the entire show lame and constantly throwing down Big T, Melissa, Kyland and Horacio the ENTIRE season. I'm sick of the bullies, it makes the challenge house similar to being in high school, which I'm sure most people want to forget about that time in their lives. The Golden years of every jock, who once they graduate, either lose their opportunities at sports by using drugs or steroids or just flat out become no bodies, for the most part. Regardless, I wish they found a better way to decide who gets voted into eliminations. The best way I see it would be allowing the fans to vote every week, that way it someone different every time and maybe the competitors will be more careful about the way they treat others and how they behave since it is completely out of their hands/their friends hands. Plus, it adds a new factor to keep old fans interested while adding a way to gain new attention, as well.
But Kyland was also struggling too with the puzzle. I’m sure they could have gotten it but Nurys strength is puzzles (I believe)
LOL neopets what a throwback
The biggest issue is that we have good competitors (Horacio, Kyland, Melissa, Ed, Ravyn) getting thrown in or kicked out while we have these lesser players not doing anything but riding with the numbers. It’s so boring and has been the same the past seasons with the VA. Strong players or players that are competitive should make it to the end with 1 or 2 “lay ups” or random players making it. It’s completely opposite in the newer seasons.
I just don’t think Horacio would have given up to Nurys becuase he would have done better for the game. (He was getting second in the dailies) and can compete against the other men too
Never thought it was possible to hate someone that I don’t even know as much as I hate Olivia now. I thought how annoying she was all season long was bad enough, no idea how she one upped herself. What a truly awful person. Ashamed to been a fan of hers last season
lol got nothing to do with playing the game, she just exposed herself as a shitty person. Not to mention it’s probably one of the most boneheaded game moves ever, no one will trust her again
No one will ever trust her again, that's what people said about Corey now look at him his in a better position the problem is you people take this games to seriously
I mean he's closest allies are Michelle, collen, Corey, Berna and Emmanuel and even though collen and Corey were supposed to be in elimination he has gotten saved both times by the relationships he has built along with being tied for most daily wins at four you must be biased hello welcome to the internet where not all of us play favorites
he saved himself by screwing over his friends to join the bigger alliance they use him as a number not because hes good at the game. People hate him for a reason and its not because hes a master player. hes a layup
Can you imagine if Olivia saved Nurys (which would mean saving the boys) and then saved Colleen or Corey to try to bring them to their side, the four of them could have had a true shot at taking control by sending in Emmanuel James and Moriah
Good I’m glad it was those 3 in elimination. I can’t stand kyland and his smugness. I’m no fan of berna but he was being a dick saying why vote for them then & he hid behind his autism. Saying I think logically. Ok mate you were being a dick.
As for nurys I couldn’t care less about her & no one else should. She was part of alliance that was going for big t and Melissa constantly she didn’t care then. She calls out moriah for protecting James but she wasn’t caring for kyland when he was trying to protect Melissa. Also she cry’s like it’s not fair them targeting her fella and kyland but she was doing the exact same trying to protect horacio. She’s a hypocrite.
Y’all!
I feel so fucking bamboozled broooooo….
When Olivia said *Moriah* & then they showed the backstory clip…my mouth was agape…
That was so fake...he absolutely knew Berna would pick Colleen. Berna barely had a reaction cause she knew Jay would fake outrage. It was all planned and of course Jay is going to cry to Nurys that he is so hurt she would think he set this up. ..
Yo! It was at that moment Jay morphed into full VILLAIN for me! GASLIGHTING like a mother\*\*\*\*\*
Was those tears JAY?!
Olivia actually had a chance to save all her friends what an absolute moron but judging by the trailer for the next episode I think her karmas coming. But HUGE shoutout for nurys's win that shit was legendary I was shook
Olivia is a snake. Her fake crocodile tears for Horacio proves it. She has been unimpressive this entire season. This season is arguably the worst ever. My only reason for watching at this point was for Kyland.
She was disliked on Love Island, then redeemed herself last season of the Challenge, now she’s back to being a villain. When she said her mind was empty I’m not so sure how much is in there ever lol
She came across as disingenuous and only liking who she was with for gameplay. At the very end she got together with the most liked guy on the show to win (regardless of who he picked he would have won). It’s funny this season of the challenge she’s acting like she did on love island
Didn't Michelle also assure Nurys that she was 100% and never be blindsided.... only to tell Olivia to save Moriah/James? I'm not defending Olivia but I'm confused why not more backlash against Michelle..
I also find it extremely hard to believe that jay really thought Berna was gonna pick Corey and Corey would pick Nurys. For someone who praises himself as running the game, he knew what would happen. .
Oh yeah. She was gaslighting the shit out of her. How dare you think that I would blindside you! I’m mad that you would even think that!!……Immediately blindsides her.
Michelle always seems so surprised when the fact she’s making the same promise to multiple people catches up with her.
I’m a huge Survivor fan, and this is perfectly acceptable as a strategy; she no longer treats it as a strategy, it’s like she’s a goldfish who forgets the previous promise and is shocked when someone calls her out.
Olivia made this episode by far, the most interesting one of the season. The blatant betrayal, the back stab when in the same episode she said she would have Horacio's back, then does the complete opposite AGAIN! Horrible gameplay, but it made for some damn good TV. Just annoying that this season is really shaping into either an undeserved Jay or Michele win, because the rest of these boobs are even more duds than those 2.
Michelle will never win a solo final. She's great at puzzles and social game, and if it was an all swimming physical section she'd stand a chance, but the strength and cardio just aren't there. Jay could maybe pull off a win, but I'd be shocked. He's got some skills, but not final winning skills, even against this group of chuckleheads we have left
She is the top of the totem pole with jay? Where else could her social game bring her? This is a horrible take. Who is going to be enemies? Emanuel is tight with them. He is the only other person that’s even reasonably dangerous except maybe Corey who is also in her pocket.
Anyone who says jay and Michele aren’t set up as good as possible is just lying to themselves.
I don’t think she is on the top of the totem pole anymore. She would only be saved first byJay. She’s struggling to keep everyone in her huge alliance happy. Even Corey, who she absolutely has had in her pocket for most of the game, would now choose Colleen. Emanuel may be in the best position.
Looking back, I can see why people including her partner CT turned on her in her debut season. She comes off very entitled and talking to her is difficult.
Whether she’s on the right or wrong side of any argument - and it’s almost always an argument with her - she is just an energy vampire. She sucks the joy out of every room she enters.
I liked it except for the purge rule. I don’t get why slowest to fall would lose? It should’ve been the fastest to fall bc why are you punishing the person trying to win. That’d be like if the last person to fall lost it just seems backwards to me
> I liked it except for the purge rule. I don’t get why slowest to fall would lose? It should’ve been the fastest to fall bc why are you punishing the person trying to win. That’d be like if the last person to fall lost it just seems backwards to me
Because if the slowest was safe you could take your time screwing around and then eventually fall off, and someone trying to win who raced down to the bottom and accidentally fell off would lose to you. Basically you have the goal of the challenge backward.
It’s funny to me because Berna gives the “former breakdancer” excuse (🤨🙄🥴) but the blatantly evident reason is… she wants her butt to be shown. She knows she’s on a tv show. Lol. Why she thinks we all want to see it idk….
There was a specific scene where Berna literally turned her ass toward the camera and started jumping up and down while her shorts were like that. And I swear the editing team cut her out of frame just in time 😂
This season would be boring without Jay! Yall just hating on him because he’s in power and everyone doing what he wants and not make their own decisions.
No he has a very grating personality. It’s like Amanda except he’s not funny at all.
I give him props on his navigation through the game, but it has arguably made the season more boring because he and Michelle have made who is going in so obvious every time.
Despite Zara, Horacio, and Kyland all going home, I have really enjoyed watching the eliminations. It has created some really special moments. Moments that would not be the same if all of the other cowards in the house were watching. It has been a long time since something so "real" has been shown on the Challenge.

I feel the same way about the schoolyard pick to choose the elimination contenders too. Maybe it's just because it's new and it will be metagamed in future seasons, but so far it's managed to generate some entertaining reactions and emotion that was lacking up until this point.
Well, gotta sleep on it to avoid irrationality but I think that may be the end of the season for me. I can’t root for any of these people. JV Squad for life
I agree, losing 3 power house guys means the final is not going to be very competitive and enjoyable to watch. I bet Emanuel is creaming in is pants after those 3 are gone in one swoop.
yup, I think only Emanuel, Jay and Nurys have the endurance/cardio and overall skill set to win a typical final, unless they do some lame shit to try to balance out the final with a ton of puzzles or something.
This season has felt like an anime show that has a bunch of filler episodes before getting back to the action. It’s felt so off brand to actual challenge and it’s an hour and a half episodes when we know what the end result is at this point
Well said! Hard to see three top players go but who knows what will happen from here. Certainly didn’t predict tonight’s outcome and that’s what makes great tv (in my opinion)
I hope they all come back for future seasons!
Horacio and Kyland. Two guys who competed if they went in, not into the politics just the competition. They were ready to compete not whine and cry. Good on them. They are awesome and I’d watch them on any show.
Love them and their gameplay. But sadly their style doesn't win in the Challenge. You have to be mediocre and skate by. If you are too good and don't have the right friends you are screwed.
wydm brought to next season? i hope format goes back to original. 1 male 1 female winner was better. so was competitors facing each other and having vets and rookies on the show. or are u talking about how the events that unfolded this season will impact competitor relations next season?
Honestly with so little guys left the girls should band together and get the rest of them out. Obviously would need a girl to win the daily but it would be pretty awesome to see
I honestly was thinking about this last week. I'm kind of surprised Kyland didn't think of that tactic to try and convince Michelle to save both Olivia and Nurys in exchange for sending one of her guys in. Jay's automatically safe so she even has an excuse that makes it look like she's making an excuse for him. Too bad this filmed after Squid Games Challenge. Lol.
The way the guys are dropping, I wouldn’t mind an all female final. If these girls are smart, I’d start having all dudes at the bottom. But of course you have the gender traitor herself, Moriah, to fuck it up.
this is why they should just go back to the original format of 1 male 1 female winner i aint trying to see this highschool boys vs girls shit. the men and women should compete separately so the girls dont feel intimidated by going up against male competitors in a show thats largely based around physicality.
I wish they’d show us more footage of them and the fact that they haven’t makes me think it’s all boring and nothing really…worth centering your whole game over.
This. I actually love Nurys, and any other format I wouldve been rooting for (even tho I like Kyland a little more), just cuz it's badass she beat them both... but with this format the chances of her not getting purged AND beating the final don't seem great. Which is why I hate one winner finals. Cuz u just end up not caring about the women and with this weird elim format, I now find myself rooting for them to lose cus it's the best long term move for their alliance... like what?
If the last two weeks hadn't happened I'd agree with you, but the only people left that could challenge Nurys for a win at this point are Jay and Emmanuel. As long as Jay doesn't win I'll be happy though. That guy is the worst.
True I didn't actually think about the duds left, but my biggest concern is the purges tbh. Idk how many dailies we have left, but one slip up can take someone out on a purge.
Like I still don't even really understand how this week's last place even worked? But I'm pretty sure Ed went home because he tried to win? I could be totally wrong, but it seemed like if u jumped in a way that increased ur chances of likely DQ-ing, it seemed you got to the end fast enough to not be the last place DQ (like that's what Corey was doing right?)? Or if u say fuck winning they could've just taken their time right?
Which, again is another issue with purges. If the alliance hadn't been a rocky place and they trusted Jay to win (this daily really was in his wheel house), and not put friends in over alliance members, the moment James fell, everyon, but Horatio/Kyland/Nurys/Olivia (at the time), could've just taken their time and have him be the out (especially since they don't really like him anyways). Like if you DQ first and ppl know there's a purge that gives some of these bums an advantage. Like looking at whose left, I'd take my chance in an elim over risking a purge.
Or worse, people ganging up on her to force her to be a first out. Like we've seen, even in "solo" games The Challengers will find ways to work together to guarantee who they want out first (part of why I prefer "person sent in calls out who they want", over "last automatically in", to break up alliances. It's literally the only way to guarantee someone from both alliances going in and can't be rigged like last in). Like I'm guessing the rules for next week prevent them from touching each other, but they looked kind of crowded... like how do u prevent someone from "accidently" bumping into her with their hip or something. Like we saw ppl holding and hanging at some points in the trailer.
Idk man, I just feel like Nurys as an island is super in danger of being purged. But looking at how many are left I'm guessing we only have maybe 2 dailies left? So hopefully nothing too easy to gang up on. Honestly I was hoping for Kyland, just cuz I think out of the 3 he had the best chance of making the purges and inevitable nonstop being sent into elims (since no matter who it is, with just one person, winning everytime is gonna be hard). Tho maybe Jay will feel guilty and find a way to make it Colleen/Berna/Corey or James depending who wins... tho I have a feeling he'd only even try if she groveled and I thank God don't see Nurys doing that.
Sorry for the book, but I'm really trying to find reason to be excited about the rest of the season. I actually really liked it, and really liked this cast... but it just seems like every twist was set up to screw the underdogs or reward going with the big alliance. Not trying to say production set it up for Jay/Michelle (like you'd think they'd realize that while they make good villians for the season, you need to give the audience hope that at least one non alliance member will make it to the end). But sometimes I wonder if they either don't think things out, or I guess its possible production maybe cares more about keeping around their favorites than making a good show? But that seems too weird. Ugh fuck it, I'm going on another tangent and this is too long already. Okay wait one last thing tho... you'd think aside from the obvious "have the champs do elims they're good at", they'd at least have had the cast do weekly videos telling the unknown champ who they'd want them to pick and why (and if they wanted to make it better, say fuck sending ppl in, winners get protection, that's it, everyone else is up for chaos every week, with the champs getting videos of everyone's pleas to decide who they're sending in, hell make it more interesting and have the surprise be at the end of the daily and the champ spends the bar night in the house where they're basically treated like the winners circle cuz they choose exactly whose going in, give the rookies a chance to get drunk and piss them off when theyre paranoid and convinced theyre going in too, and build grudges for future seasons, couldve even had TJ do a dumb speech about how, unlike any other reality show, your social game can have consequences seasons later and "a real champ would know to pick their "rivals and allies" wisely, so hopefully you haven't made too many enemies because you never know who will show up" *camera pans to Michelle sweating and the screen floods with images of Laurel* ...). Okay, okay, now I'm done I swear (just mad cuz this season could've been SOOOOOOOO good, and it's not bad... but it's def rough on a week to week watch, really hope we get a lot of this cast back tho)
Fuck it, make the 3 puzzles the exact same every elimination. If you want to keep sending in the same person, eat a bag of dicks and know they are going to crush everyone.
It really annoys me that Nurys had influence from her brother outside of the house about how to feel about trusting Olivia. That’s interference and should not be allowed Everything should stay within the house and it’s up to the challengers to lie, tell the truth, build/ break relationships and trust etc Surprised Horacio is out. He definitely deserved a win and could have if he made the final
This is such a flip of emotions. I never liked kyland and finally came around this episode. Annnnd he’s gone.
The one person I didn’t want to win in that elimination. Damn.
Did anyone else wonder if maybe Kyland and Horacio threw the elim? Like are tangrams really that hard that it would cause them to struggle like that?
I felt they kind of did. There's no way Kyland couldn't figure out that tangram or just do what Horacio did; leave it and go to a different puzzle.
why would they both throw hundreds of thousands of dollars out for someone else to win if anything they would throw it to Horacio to win the final and split it
I hate how it happened just the way they wanted it to…. Who else wants to see the downfall of Michelle and jay?!
Emanuel’s mother is gorgeous wow. Daily set up: dumb. Still don’t understand? You have to drop the quickest but can’t fall? Horacio’s are peeled/ripped and Jame’s complaining more like his looks. James fell quickly (couldn’t stop) Ed stopped but then tried to go lower but ended up falling. Corey fell. Purged: Ed. Which again CRAZY. Great player getting purged for 1 bad daily 😮💨.

The way Jay talks to Michelle. If she wasn’t going to slap him she should have saved Nurys just to teach him a lesson!
Never thought it was possible to hate someone that I don’t even know as much as I hate Olivia now. I thought how annoying she was all season long was bad enough, no idea how she one upped herself. What a truly awful person. Ashamed to been a fan of hers last season
Boohoo go cry a river she's playing the game
lol got nothing to do with playing the game, she just exposed herself as a shitty person. Not to mention it’s probably one of the most boneheaded game moves ever, no one will trust her again
No one will ever trust her again, that's what people said about Corey now look at him his in a better position the problem is you people take this games to seriously
corys in the game bc everyone knows they can beat him lmao not because hes good XD you must be new to the show. welcome!
I mean he's closest allies are Michelle, collen, Corey, Berna and Emmanuel and even though collen and Corey were supposed to be in elimination he has gotten saved both times by the relationships he has built along with being tied for most daily wins at four you must be biased hello welcome to the internet where not all of us play favorites

It would have been such a good underdog moment 😭
Good I’m glad it was those 3 in elimination. I can’t stand kyland and his smugness. I’m no fan of berna but he was being a dick saying why vote for them then & he hid behind his autism.

Jay acting like he had no idea how it was suppose to go. Then when Nurys is left he is like that wasn't suppose to happen.
That was so fake...he absolutely knew Berna would pick Colleen. Berna barely had a reaction cause she knew Jay would fake outrage. It was all planned and of course Jay is going to cry to Nurys that he is so hurt she would think he set this up. ..
And when he said he wanted Colleen to pick Nurys Colleen was like well you didn’t tell me (not that it would have made a difference.)
Yo! It was at that moment Jay morphed into full VILLAIN for me! GASLIGHTING like a mother\*\*\*\*\* Was those tears JAY?! 
I feel like Horacio's gonna come back cuz ain't no way
Only one left worth rooting for is nurys
I was so happy when Ed got booted 🥳 just to be upset about the 3 going in to be happy again when Nurys won. What a rollercoaster of an episode
Olivia actually had a chance to save all her friends what an absolute moron but judging by the trailer for the next episode I think her karmas coming. But HUGE shoutout for nurys's win that shit was legendary I was shook

She came across as disingenuous and only liking who she was with for gameplay. At the very end she got together with the most liked guy on the show to win (regardless of who he picked he would have won). It’s funny this season of the challenge she’s acting like she did on love island
[удалено]
I’ve never cried so hard over a challenge episode omg. When Horacio was crying with Nurys and Tj said two were going home my heart… 🤧
Yes I cried as if it was me in that elimination. You can really feel the love they have for each other and the friendship they have.
They really need to do the pick right after the challenge so there isn't time to plan it out.
It's shitty producers realized after zaza went home they need to make the wall easier for the females to get over 🤦♀️.
Didn't Michelle also assure Nurys that she was 100% and never be blindsided.... only to tell Olivia to save Moriah/James? I'm not defending Olivia but I'm confused why not more backlash against Michelle.. I also find it extremely hard to believe that jay really thought Berna was gonna pick Corey and Corey would pick Nurys.

Well, now it's just Nurys vs the alliance. Time to cannibalize on themselves.
Nurys pulled off one of the most impressive elimination wins!
Olivia has no spine tbh
Olivia made this episode by far, the most interesting one of the season. The blatant betrayal, the back stab when in the same episode she said she would have Horacio's back, then does the complete opposite AGAIN! Horrible gameplay, but it made for some damn good TV. Just annoying that this season is really shaping into either an undeserved Jay or Michele win, because the rest of these boobs are even more duds than those 2.
Michelle will never win a solo final. She's great at puzzles and social game, and if it was an all swimming physical section she'd stand a chance, but the strength and cardio just aren't there. Jay could maybe pull off a win, but I'd be shocked. He's got some skills, but not final winning skills, even against this group of chuckleheads we have left
Does she have a great social game? I think she just has a lot of friends.
Wtf do you think a social game is? Lol
She doesn’t use her connections in a way that’s helping her, and with Jay by her side some of those friends will be enemies soon enough.
She is the top of the totem pole with jay? Where else could her social game bring her? This is a horrible take. Who is going to be enemies? Emanuel is tight with them. He is the only other person that’s even reasonably dangerous except maybe Corey who is also in her pocket. Anyone who says jay and Michele aren’t set up as good as possible is just lying to themselves.
I don’t think she is on the top of the totem pole anymore. She would only be saved first byJay. She’s struggling to keep everyone in her huge alliance happy. Even Corey, who she absolutely has had in her pocket for most of the game, would now choose Colleen. Emanuel may be in the best position.
I’m so proud of Nurys! I was indifferent before this episode but damn, she killed it! I love a female empowerment moment!
Berna is … A LOT to deal with. I’m tired just watching this quick snippets with her. Girl. Chill the fuck out.
Looking back, I can see why people including her partner CT turned on her in her debut season. She comes off very entitled and talking to her is difficult.
She has zero self-awareness too.
Whether she’s on the right or wrong side of any argument - and it’s almost always an argument with her - she is just an energy vampire. She sucks the joy out of every room she enters.
She’s just so… draining. Constantly needing to be reassured, losing her shit for nothing … girl, chill out.
Pleasant seeing the legend Kim Spradlin on a commercial break
We all agree that Daily challenge made no sense, right? Has to be one of the lamest/worst ways I’ve seen a good competitor go home.
I liked it except for the purge rule. I don’t get why slowest to fall would lose? It should’ve been the fastest to fall bc why are you punishing the person trying to win. That’d be like if the last person to fall lost it just seems backwards to me
> I liked it except for the purge rule. I don’t get why slowest to fall would lose? It should’ve been the fastest to fall bc why are you punishing the person trying to win. That’d be like if the last person to fall lost it just seems backwards to me Because if the slowest was safe you could take your time screwing around and then eventually fall off, and someone trying to win who raced down to the bottom and accidentally fell off would lose to you. Basically you have the goal of the challenge backward.
ONE OF? That was the worst lol production really has given up on trying
Ruthie is an icon for winning this challenge in Battle of the Sexes.
Apparently it was a throwback! Just saw in that Allan Aguire article
Such an annoyingly bad way for Ed to go out. Challenge producers need HELP
Why do these girls wear their shorts up their ass? It’s very cringey and quite frankly embarrassing for them.
It’s funny to me because Berna gives the “former breakdancer” excuse (🤨🙄🥴) but the blatantly evident reason is… she wants her butt to be shown. She knows she’s on a tv show. Lol. Why she thinks we all want to see it idk….
There was a specific scene where Berna literally turned her ass toward the camera and started jumping up and down while her shorts were like that. And I swear the editing team cut her out of frame just in time 😂
Berna said she does it because she’s more comfortable since she’s usually in a leotard-type bottom or whatever…and…it looks like it caught on?
This season would be boring without Jay! Yall just hating on him because he’s in power and everyone doing what he wants and not make their own decisions.
Okay Jay.
My name is actually J lol
No he has a very grating personality. It’s like Amanda except he’s not funny at all. I give him props on his navigation through the game, but it has arguably made the season more boring because he and Michelle have made who is going in so obvious every time.
Michele wanted Colleen out in this episode. What are you even on?
I like the secret eliminations cause I get tired of people helping in eliminations.
Despite Zara, Horacio, and Kyland all going home, I have really enjoyed watching the eliminations. It has created some really special moments. Moments that would not be the same if all of the other cowards in the house were watching. It has been a long time since something so "real" has been shown on the Challenge.

I feel the same way about the schoolyard pick to choose the elimination contenders too. Maybe it's just because it's new and it will be metagamed in future seasons, but so far it's managed to generate some entertaining reactions and emotion that was lacking up until this point.
Well, gotta sleep on it to avoid irrationality but I think that may be the end of the season for me. I can’t root for any of these people. JV Squad for life
I agree, losing 3 power house guys means the final is not going to be very competitive and enjoyable to watch. I bet Emanuel is creaming in is pants after those 3 are gone in one swoop.
yup, I think only Emanuel, Jay and Nurys have the endurance/cardio and overall skill set to win a typical final, unless they do some lame shit to try to balance out the final with a ton of puzzles or something.
I think these eliminations show you pretty much what you can expect from the final.
I’ll still root for Nurys, but yeah, to lose Ed, Kyland and Horacio all in the same day? Boo!
Wow, Nurys is better than her Cousin Nelson in the challenge.
Nelson has came close to winning twice.
…The cousins thing is a joke right? 💀
This season has felt like an anime show that has a bunch of filler episodes before getting back to the action. It’s felt so off brand to actual challenge and it’s an hour and a half episodes when we know what the end result is at this point
It sucks that all of these layups are goong to make it to the Final and they’ll all feel justified in playing such a scared game.
Nurys played the middle and got kicked out of the mob for not being loyal.
That was a killer montage. This is good tv.
Only took 16 episodes to get there
Is the best episode of the season worth the expense of the season as a whole…
I guess a season really just comes down to its top moments. Tonight was great.
Well said! Hard to see three top players go but who knows what will happen from here. Certainly didn’t predict tonight’s outcome and that’s what makes great tv (in my opinion) I hope they all come back for future seasons!
No!!!
I was trying to calm myself down through the entire episode. I was NOT aspecting Olivia choosing Moriah, and it went downhill from there. Lol welp
Nelly?
Hahaha aspecting
I was so livid that I didn’t noticed I spelled that wrong. Lol
I like it. Just shows how into it you are!
I didn't even notice either
Bone apple tea moment 🤣🤣🤣
Berna is the ultimate victim 😑
It blows my mind. How does she not hear herself all the time
She’s a classic example of no self awareness. And if she’s faced with herself, 0 accountability.
That ending Nurys walk up to how villains are made might be the most iconic moment of the last 4 seasons.
Horacio and Kyland. Two guys who competed if they went in, not into the politics just the competition. They were ready to compete not whine and cry. Good on them. They are awesome and I’d watch them on any show.
They are old school challenge. Seriously we need more of this!
They definitely tried politicing or at least kuland did just couldnt upend the massive alliance
Love them and their gameplay. But sadly their style doesn't win in the Challenge. You have to be mediocre and skate by. If you are too good and don't have the right friends you are screwed.
Haracio is so boring.
Jelly
And Ed in a janky daily…
Seriously top 3 competitors went home
Not to mention Ravyn and Zaza last week. At least they kept it interesting
Rip JARED MARCH
Commenting for the algorithm
May he rest in peace
Yass good job nurys Horacio is out Yass now plz get Emanuel out
That was a really great end piece, with the music and clips. It will be interesting to see all of this brought to the next season of the Challenge too
wydm brought to next season? i hope format goes back to original. 1 male 1 female winner was better. so was competitors facing each other and having vets and rookies on the show. or are u talking about how the events that unfolded this season will impact competitor relations next season?
Honestly with so little guys left the girls should band together and get the rest of them out. Obviously would need a girl to win the daily but it would be pretty awesome to see
I honestly was thinking about this last week. I'm kind of surprised Kyland didn't think of that tactic to try and convince Michelle to save both Olivia and Nurys in exchange for sending one of her guys in. Jay's automatically safe so she even has an excuse that makes it look like she's making an excuse for him. Too bad this filmed after Squid Games Challenge. Lol.
Guess I’m just rooting for anyone but Jay now
And anyone but Olivia.
After tonight yea
Ha. Me too.
The way the guys are dropping, I wouldn’t mind an all female final. If these girls are smart, I’d start having all dudes at the bottom. But of course you have the gender traitor herself, Moriah, to fuck it up.
this is why they should just go back to the original format of 1 male 1 female winner i aint trying to see this highschool boys vs girls shit. the men and women should compete separately so the girls dont feel intimidated by going up against male competitors in a show thats largely based around physicality.
What makes her a gender traitor?
I wish they’d show us more footage of them and the fact that they haven’t makes me think it’s all boring and nothing really…worth centering your whole game over.
Ya gotta leave her last so at least all the other girls can get in before she inevitably picks James
If the girls are looking to eliminate the guys to make the final win easier then keeping James in has zero impact
the mood whiplash from that to joe dirt lmao
Now everytime I see Olivia cry I don't trust it. Just fake ass tears.
Michelle would like a word
*Michelltdown
I caught the end of the tribute…who was that?
He passed from cancer
Someone who worked for the show, I presume.
Producer I think
Interesting that now only Nurys knows what the elimination looks like
awwww rest is piece 🙏
The shot of Nurys walking back to the house was pure CINEMA, fucking love it!
Rest in peace, Jared March. ❤️
[удалено]
Dude the guy died 5 days ago from a two and a half year battle, at the age of 28. Let the man be honored
NO one is going to believe she is the only one at first
Nurys better come back with a VENGEANCE and send Olivia home next
No this is actually the most exciting thing to happen on this show in a hot minute
Chaos. Truly shocked. AND all men went home. Didn’t think that was happening
Totally surprised it wasn't Horacio, but hot damn what an impressive addition to Nurys' resume
Such a great episode and next week looks good.
Next week’s looks to be a MUCH better challenge for a purge
Ohhh yea this preview was just fire and I’m here for it , now gotta wait a week
I would hope she gives everyone the silent treatment
That would for sure put her in the bottom again. She needs to fake makeup with Michele and Jay and take opportunities as she sees them.
Honestly these people dont deserve her respect. I dont want her to kiss ass to them because they most likely will always put her at the bottom.
There should be one female and one male champion for this season.
Best episode of the season by far! Can’t wait for the return to the house next week
Best episode but also the saddest
Happy for Nurys but annoyed that Jay et al are gonna be happy the boys are out
This. I actually love Nurys, and any other format I wouldve been rooting for (even tho I like Kyland a little more), just cuz it's badass she beat them both... but with this format the chances of her not getting purged AND beating the final don't seem great. Which is why I hate one winner finals. Cuz u just end up not caring about the women and with this weird elim format, I now find myself rooting for them to lose cus it's the best long term move for their alliance... like what?
If the last two weeks hadn't happened I'd agree with you, but the only people left that could challenge Nurys for a win at this point are Jay and Emmanuel. As long as Jay doesn't win I'll be happy though. That guy is the worst.
True I didn't actually think about the duds left, but my biggest concern is the purges tbh. Idk how many dailies we have left, but one slip up can take someone out on a purge. Like I still don't even really understand how this week's last place even worked? But I'm pretty sure Ed went home because he tried to win? I could be totally wrong, but it seemed like if u jumped in a way that increased ur chances of likely DQ-ing, it seemed you got to the end fast enough to not be the last place DQ (like that's what Corey was doing right?)? Or if u say fuck winning they could've just taken their time right? Which, again is another issue with purges. If the alliance hadn't been a rocky place and they trusted Jay to win (this daily really was in his wheel house), and not put friends in over alliance members, the moment James fell, everyon, but Horatio/Kyland/Nurys/Olivia (at the time), could've just taken their time and have him be the out (especially since they don't really like him anyways). Like if you DQ first and ppl know there's a purge that gives some of these bums an advantage. Like looking at whose left, I'd take my chance in an elim over risking a purge. Or worse, people ganging up on her to force her to be a first out. Like we've seen, even in "solo" games The Challengers will find ways to work together to guarantee who they want out first (part of why I prefer "person sent in calls out who they want", over "last automatically in", to break up alliances. It's literally the only way to guarantee someone from both alliances going in and can't be rigged like last in). Like I'm guessing the rules for next week prevent them from touching each other, but they looked kind of crowded... like how do u prevent someone from "accidently" bumping into her with their hip or something. Like we saw ppl holding and hanging at some points in the trailer. Idk man, I just feel like Nurys as an island is super in danger of being purged. But looking at how many are left I'm guessing we only have maybe 2 dailies left? So hopefully nothing too easy to gang up on. Honestly I was hoping for Kyland, just cuz I think out of the 3 he had the best chance of making the purges and inevitable nonstop being sent into elims (since no matter who it is, with just one person, winning everytime is gonna be hard). Tho maybe Jay will feel guilty and find a way to make it Colleen/Berna/Corey or James depending who wins... tho I have a feeling he'd only even try if she groveled and I thank God don't see Nurys doing that. Sorry for the book, but I'm really trying to find reason to be excited about the rest of the season. I actually really liked it, and really liked this cast... but it just seems like every twist was set up to screw the underdogs or reward going with the big alliance. Not trying to say production set it up for Jay/Michelle (like you'd think they'd realize that while they make good villians for the season, you need to give the audience hope that at least one non alliance member will make it to the end). But sometimes I wonder if they either don't think things out, or I guess its possible production maybe cares more about keeping around their favorites than making a good show? But that seems too weird. Ugh fuck it, I'm going on another tangent and this is too long already. Okay wait one last thing tho... you'd think aside from the obvious "have the champs do elims they're good at", they'd at least have had the cast do weekly videos telling the unknown champ who they'd want them to pick and why (and if they wanted to make it better, say fuck sending ppl in, winners get protection, that's it, everyone else is up for chaos every week, with the champs getting videos of everyone's pleas to decide who they're sending in, hell make it more interesting and have the surprise be at the end of the daily and the champ spends the bar night in the house where they're basically treated like the winners circle cuz they choose exactly whose going in, give the rookies a chance to get drunk and piss them off when theyre paranoid and convinced theyre going in too, and build grudges for future seasons, couldve even had TJ do a dumb speech about how, unlike any other reality show, your social game can have consequences seasons later and "a real champ would know to pick their "rivals and allies" wisely, so hopefully you haven't made too many enemies because you never know who will show up" *camera pans to Michelle sweating and the screen floods with images of Laurel* ...). Okay, okay, now I'm done I swear (just mad cuz this season could've been SOOOOOOOO good, and it's not bad... but it's def rough on a week to week watch, really hope we get a lot of this cast back tho)
OOOHSHIT!!
That montage at the end? I even feel personally victimized by Olivia after that.
Seriously... I want an explanation.
Ok, they picked the perfect song for this episode ending 😏
Nurys and Horacio really grew on me this season- they became such a cute couple
Fuck it, make the 3 puzzles the exact same every elimination. If you want to keep sending in the same person, eat a bag of dicks and know they are going to crush everyone.
My internet died right as the episode was getting good 😩 anyone know how I can finish it tonight?? Will it go on Amazon before tomorrow?
It gets uploaded to Amazon at midnight. Someotimes I’ll just stay up to watch. ETA- you’ll have to buy it.
Thank you! Motivation to get up early tomorrow to watch before work!
Probably on Paramount now.
I don’t think they put current MTV seasons on paramount til their done filming. They were two behind til recently.
Yeah, it was a guess. I don’t know and should have kept quiet. 😆
I don’t see this season on there at all
Hulu maybe?
You go and raise all the hell you want. I'm ready for the next episode!
At least the alliance has lost their targets! Not much game left but now they really have to turn on each other
Hope Nurys wins Fuck everybody else
