The Challenge [MTV]

I’m still watching this every Monday on mtv. Ashley is still in it. Fezzy was removed for fighting his big brother buddy, and Hughie was eliminated after being a really great contestant, surely he will be back again. Tho I’m not sure about the recent split into 3 teams, that 1 team has won everything so far so bit unfair. I dunno why the winner of the elimination has not put themselves on that team, yet.

Getting to the pointy end of the competition now. Big names are going to start falling.

Good episode last night (in the US). No spoilers since some people are watching at the UK times.

This should be good tonight so. It’s a mens elimination, preview shows some problems between Kyle and Devon. Reckon Kyle goes to elimination anyway and will pick Josh if his team don’t win or Nelson if they do.

I don't dislike Kyle but I do feel he very much goes out of his way to play this snakey wildcard character, both within the came and as part of his confessionals. He's a witty guy but it always seems a little forced for me to really warm to him. The decision to target the Sapphire cell made zero sense. Behind the facade appears to be a decent enough guy though.

I've warmed to Josh recently which is a bit of a surprise given how obnoxious and petulant he behaved when he first appeared in BB.

Given how they've been split into cells is it clear how the final will play out? Do they compete as a team and share the winnings? Or compete against each other? Or nobody knows yet?

I’d like to see an elimination between Tori and Kaycee and Tori getting her revenge.

I don’t get the 3 team split this season. Again this week it gives a big advantage to the team with the most numbers. Same team have practically won every week. And most weeks the winner of the elimination doesn’t pick to go into that dominant team, why?? EG - why did Kyle go back to CT he should have swapped with Count Dracula and teamed up with his buddy Devon. Why is that strong team almost threatening others not to infiltrate them, when that is the only positive I see in this 3 team structure, ie the power given to however gas the balls to go to elimination and win.

I didn’t understand why did the Spanish guy pick Count Dracula for the elimination. He should have picked Devon, it didn’t look like a puzzle game, and he could have not picked his best buddy and made a name for himself by eliminating a ‘self appointed’ big player. Other than that the Spanish guy was pretty impressive throughout and even had some hanky panty with Big T.

I won’t know till I watch next Monday night, but am hoping to see Kyle do well.

Seems the team lost it on the puzzle and paid the price with elimination of half them. Looks like they all got great cardio except Devon.

Anyone watching the new season? It's a total cracker. No Josh or Hughie either. 2 episodes are out. 🙂

The Ride or Die twist is excellent. No spoilers but I feel sorry for the person who was eliminated near the start of episode 2, only because their partner couldn't hack it.

In the States. I had a look for a UK start date and couldn't find one.

There is a Challenge Australia after starting now with the winners also going through to the international final.

I watched that and Nany was lucky to get through. She is definitely one of the weaker ladies, hard to see her ever winning a final. That girl Nurys is some babe, and she was pretty good at the challenges too, but Amber is very strong and fit. Nurys wuda beaten most other girls in it, maybe not Tori, Kaycee or Amber.

Awh me too, and her face afterwards (eek)

Jordan is being very annoying in the final but I understand his frustration. I still can't decide if he's a tool or nice deep down.

Watcher the final episode last night. I thought the overall 100hrs final was not as good as previous few when they were trekking mountains in snow or heat. The cornfield setting didn’t work for me. The final task itself was too leaner towards getting part 2 of it correct, anyone who messed up there had no chance to recover, and that should have been moved to part 4 and final part.

Was it on mtv?? I don’t think it’s out in Europe yet I saw the promo’s all right but think it was US only. I have a real soft spot for Nurys she is some babe, and I see she is going out now with the cast mate Horacio now. Lucky guy!!

Was surprised to see this pop up on my radar given I've come to think of the CBS/P+ The Challenge US version (which just ended) as the main version these days.

Last time I checked there used be a two week lag between MTV US and UK/Ireland initial showings but not sure if things have changed since. I certainly am happy to wait to see when this arrives on MTV UK before watching.

No love for the challenge this season?

The latest episode was a cracker. The elimination challenge was a great achievement for the winner.

Can't wait to see the fallout later this week.

The elimination competitions are OK, I think the way the contestants are picked is terrible.

And yeah, Jay is a dick this year.

Am watching this on mtv so not aware of recent developments, I believe this week is a big one, and looks like CT is the legend altho last week it was male also. But I don’t think this Chaos theme and bringing in the legends is working and the competition seems to be toned down a bit. It’s not as good as previous seasons. Dunno who will win it but Horacio and his buddy are great competitors, Jay is a bit of a weakling compared to them. As it’s just 1 winner at the end it cannot really be a physical challenge to separate the male from female, it will have to be top male and top female qualify via the normal big event that has bit of everything, then some last puzzle or something to pick the winner.

Yeah it was a fair result. I'm glad Nurys got something out of it too... She had some massive knockouts (even though she was a bit obnoxious about them).
