[QUOTE=Nightwolf;367811]As per Twitter, Jemmeye said that the hour time limit was for EACH puzzle, not just an hour. So the teams that didn't finish a puzzle were there for 3 hours[/QUOTE]
If this is true, lets say Wes/CT finished in 30 min and the 2nd place team took 3 hrs. Honestly, when the gap is that big, it does bug me a little that there is no carry over to the next leg of the final. Not a big gripe and I understand the show not wanting the final to be a blowout. Just sucks for someone like me who roots for Wes/CT.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;367555]Watch Emily become annoying like the other people mainly females who have won. Had Paula not won Rivals 1 she would've still been likeable.[/QUOTE]
Um no. Paula was never likable in the slightest.
I'm SO GLAD that Diem lost. But at the same time I feel so bad for Aneesa. She deserved a better partner than Diem and I hope she gets it next time.
I was actually kinda excited when they announced that they were going to Tokyo and they were speculating that they were going to have to navigate they're way through the city..I really think that would've been really cool Idea for a final. It would've given everyone a level playing field and it would've been interesting to see who came out on top. And it also kinda made me think of Road Rules a bit..I still miss that show.
I don't like this eliminating team thing at the final. I feel like if they were going to do this then they should've just made it a Final 2 for both genders.
I really hope that that was Frank/Johnny were the ones that had their boat flip over on them. I really wanna see Marlon/Jordan Compete in the Final. Glad that Cooke/Cara Maria made it and feel bad for Jemmeye(Camilla can go jump in the lake).I was also Surprised to see that CT/Wes Finish that Puzzle.
I'm really impressed with CT/Wes, when did they become so good and well rounded? I always thought both were good but right now theyre killing everything, or everyone else just decided to suck really bad, they all of a sudden have great endurance, can swim better than everyone and omg solve puzzles too!! lol too funny, every challenge they won they made look easy while the rest died and wow Johnny was almost eliminated this episode, pathetic! CT/Wes finished that puzzle in like 20 mins and those other idiots couldnt finish in like 3 hrs?? wtf is going on??? Maybe this partnership just works better for these too than Kenny/Adam did
I don't understand how someone can show up for a challenge and not be prepared to swim....that's been a huge part of challenges for a while now...Cara's never been my favorite but this is just pathetic.

lets give her a break, shes just not good at it, she apparently takes lessons. It takes years to be a great swimmer, shes probably average or a bit less than that, she can at least do the freestyle without a life jacket but obviously not as good as lifeguards Camilla/Jemmye or Puala/emily
and swimming isnt always included that much on the challenges, Wes is the best swimmer there but how many challenges has that helped him in? A few were basically given to him because of it but not a lot

She has a life jacket on--she shouldn't need someone to pull her. She's definitely not "average".
Swimming has been a part of pretty much every challenge and many finals. I'm not even sure the last time it wasn't at least part of a mission...everything since The Island has

Again, you're calling someone pathetic for not training to learn how to swim despite the fact that SHE WASN'T CAST TO BE ON THE SHOW ORIGINALLY
Why would she spend a month swimming if she wasn't going to be on the show?

Well Johnny sucked at that challenge too and he was never look at as a ****** swimmer, the current was apparently real bad. I dont even like Cara that much but I think shes getting a lot of slack for her ****** swimming skills, water is usually involved but not swimming, its usually falling in the water, just cause theres water in the challenge doesnt mean they had to swim in it. But ya only like 4-5 challenges/finals that I can remember involved swimming from one end to another
Holy crap I don't know if this is something to be excited about but Cara maria just retweeted my tweet with the picture I attached of her, Cooke, and Wes and CT on the yacht together, woo hooo :P
P.S. And yes I know I put this on both threads because I have never gotten a retweet from any challenger ever and I'm that excited haha:P . here's the tweet I put

I think Aneesa was very happy with her partner and Diem and Aneesa seem to have made a life-long friendship out of it. :)

Diem tweeted a lovely note to Aneesa. Aneesa sent one the other day. Stefx23, nice call.
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;367702]When was the last challenge that they had to swim and why am I thinking it's Battle of the Sexes? Hope I'm wrong.[/QUOTE]
Guantlet 3. Who can forget Big Easy gassing out in the water. If it weren't for CT dragging him to shore he might still be floating out there somewhere. :biggrin-new:
[QUOTE=Camille;367734]I'm surprised CT and Wes did well at the puzzle. Wes always skipped them on Fresh Meat because he couldn't do them and wanted to save time. And Ct may be strong and pretty, but he does not strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.[/QUOTE]
I think CT is a lot smarter than people give him credit for.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;367842]Diem really let Aneesa down in the final mission and that elimination. Kudos to Aneesa for taking the high road.[/QUOTE]
Diem took responsibility for the loss and I appreciate that. Kudos to Aneesa for being a class act about the loss.
i hope that cara/cooke enjoyed first place because emily and paula will take first on the last part of the challenge and win the whole thing that is what i hope will happen..people are saying that paula is going to win because of emily no it seem like this season they have been equal something that emily is not good at paula is like swimming or running long distance..if anything cara has been weak and if she does win it will be because of cooke..emily is my favorite player so i want her to win and i like paula also...and i want ct/wes to win for the guys....and by the way that naya and emily kiss was hot.
[QUOTE=AnneK;367875]I think CT is a lot smarter than people give him credit for.[/QUOTE]
Exactly! That is one thing that has always annoyed me. People act like CT is an uneducated moron, which is not the case at all.

Well, I don't think he has a lot of education being that he has been a reality TV star for a decade and I don't think academia and it crossover ever.
But, I agree that CT is no dummy (and never really was) and has played the game near flawlessly this season and CT/Wes might be my favorite duo of all partner challenges. Does anyone seriously want Johnny and Frank or Jordan and Marlon to beat them?
I thought it was absolutely dumb that the third place teams just get eliminated. They should see a whole final if they made it. I hate when the final is cut up like that. And its annoying because whoever gets third for the guys could have easily won the whole thing but they are getting eliminated because of a puzzle.
And as for the **** they should have shown, I thought it was hilarious. Johnny making fun of Cara was funny because all she does is want attention. Every guy/girl seems to be obsessed with Nany LOL. Also their workout cheers were just hysterical. Also Jemmye looked really pretty on it.

Chris was an engineering undergrad before RW Paris came along. That suggests some decent math stills if nothing more. Compared with the average intellect occasionally displayed at vevmo, I'd say he's a genius. :encouragement:

I don't know, I think it's really hard to make it from 3rd to 1st place in a final and I don't think either team could've done it

Uh...yeah. I'd actually really like to see CT win one, but if that means Wes winning I'd rather just watch Johnny win again or see the rookies win.

Wait are you saying that Wes is a worse person than Frank, the man who brought up family member's heroin addictions and threw Sam face down into the dirt? His (Wes's) only actual underhanded move was throwing CJ in during FM2 (and I think I read on here that was Evelyn's plan in actuality). Compared to all the shady stuff Johnny has done to people on these shows (including being friends/allies with actual monsters Evan and Kenny), Wes is not nearly as bad. He talks a big game but unless he has physically beat someone in an elimination, Wes has never really manipulated the results of these shows that much.
