Best Elimination Ever? - Page 9

I wish I had a picture of what they showed on TV from the Duel as to how the flag was hooked on, then you'd better understand what I'm talking about. There was a little ring that was looped through the little loophole in the flag. It was used to shorten up the slack in the string to keep the flag flat on the ground so that there wouldn't be a lot of slack; thus causing the flag to blow around all over the place on the end of the string. CT grabbed that ring and crushed it, that's what caused him to fall backwards right away. By crushing the ring, he let out all the slack in the string and that's what caused him to fall backwards off balance. The carabeaner was still clipped to the hook in the ground, and he got up after falling back and unclipped it. If somebody could get a screencap or something of the way it was hooked on, it'd be easier to explain.

Well, Ruthie was the team captain and of course almost everyone on the Vets team wanted Beth so they threw her in there against Ruthie. It was Reverse Tug Of War, and basically if you had the size advantage you would win. Ruthie fought really hard, but Beth won and then the Vets got worried. I guess it was just the fact that Ruthie is a fighter and she got sent home.

Why is this an argument? He lost, it's over, moot point.

I don't know and I agree. He feels that CT didn't really lose. Back on topic.

AYanna's elimination on Battle of the Sexes 2 had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Yeah it goes down in the books as a loss but I just thought it was ridiculous that some of you people seem to think Beth got shafted worse than CT did in his loss. When Beth lost, she had the flag in her hand and the carabeaner was still hooked in the ground. When CT lost, he had the flag in his hand with the carabeaner still connected to the flag. So, you tell me whose loss was more ridiculous?

A good example would be CT calling Tina an idiot for punching Beth and getting sent home when in the next challenge he got sent home for the same thing.

ETA: ooo even though they weren't truly spectular I liked Theo vs Tina (FM), Darrell vs Derrick (FM), Coral vs Beth (GIII) only because it was one of the few times that they (Coral, Theo, Darrell) were in jeopardy of going home.

That Coral/Beth gauntlet was hard to watch. Coral was gassed after the first run and was pretty much walking to the ball and STILL beat Beth. Absolutely pathetic & unimpressive showing by both.

I actually enjoyed that one as you never really get to see them go at each other that much and might never again so it was a pretty good match up. Plus Coral got to stay, even if it was for a little while.
