If Sarah changes her mind and wants to return in a few years (if this show even exists in a few years), this move won't prevent it. One sore loser chirping and a couple of his friends currently backing it up won't matter.

its not preventing the actual existence of being on the challenge but it will prevent how much enjoyment shell get out of the envirionment

this isnt casey, shauvon angel youre talking about where alienating them has zero consequences. nia, bananas, nany, leroy...all cream of the crop competitors that show no signs of stopping

Speaking of Darrell, he seems to have a wonderful life with his wife and two kids as I see on his instagram. I'm happy to see he's doing okay and hasn't let reality TV taint his life, unlike some of these people.

outside of the Ruins there really wasn't much taint his life anyway.

I don't understand why everyone is looking into why Sarah is done. Why is it so hard to believe that she's done with the challenges because she wants to move onto something different. Yeah, she loved the challenges, and it's something I'd have a hard time letting go, but she wants to make a life outside reality TV. It's not that unfathomable that people change over time and their preference and priorities change. Yeah, being on the Challenge might be surreal, but it comes with a cost (a two month hiatus on your life back home). For someone that wants to be a school teacher or has family, that doesn't come as easily to others like CT or Bananas, who have no real commitments at home (I'm ***uming here). Yes, many have had families and children and jobs and school and still have participated, but where are they now? They left, because their priorities shifted into focusing on that. I'm not hating on anyone that have been doing this for 11+ years, its fun, but I question, what will they do once it's all done?

Wes has his 74 companies (he probably got another 74 after Rivals 2) and Darrell and Emily opened up their gym. Jamie Chung got into hollywood and one guy go into Politics. Veronica and Rachel tried starting their t-shirts thing a while back. I guess Johnny has his t-shirt line too...mmm..

the school teacher thing is so moot as ive already explained

anyways... yeah ***omeone else has already said, more than half of those people are willing to come back and the vasty majority dont do what jamie is doing. just because someone says that theyre done in their final confession doesnt mean they actually follow through. most end up fading into their sedated, run of the mill lives for a few years and express that they want to come back on twitter after theyve gotten a taste of the flavorlessness of real life and the new season airing which inspires nostalgia and what they missed while they look down at their microwaveable frozen costco dinner or mcdonalds dollar store burger that theyve had for 4 nights straight in a row after coming home from an 8 hour shift at work(that theyre probably apathetic about at best) where they had to deal with their insufferable, nagging boss that they almost went mike tyson on but cant cause theyll get their *** fired and kicked to the curb

i wouldnt worry about CT or bananas at all. if they want to settle down into american invisibility theyll have plenty of time to

go to school....get into student debt....get good grades....get a "good job"....commute 9-5 (7-6) till were 65 and past our prime....get a mortage....get married and hopefully with someone that you actually love and find almost perfet and not someone thats just convenient and "meh" enough to "settle" with cause youre desperate and the clock is ticking....pump out kids in our increasingly consumerist society that promotes narcissism and greed and unappreciation for the parent....raise them from the sweat of your own back whilst paying off your debts.....potential divorce(40-50% chance in america)

maybe try to seek escapism every once in a while(or more like every time they can) by watching "the challenge" or posting on forums and twitter about it...oops!

if they envy us they can follow anytime but i have reason to believe that theyre not ******* their pants in anticipation for dat life

Not many, but some people are happy about it and want to move on. I still don't understand how hard it is for you to believe that poeple might not find doing the challenges as apeaing anymore. 

It's like smoking weed and binge drinking (i'm in college now). Yeah, its a ******* good time, but sooner or later, I'm not have the time to do it all or even want to do it. Yeah, I'll remember the good times, but that doesn't mean I'll do it. Perhaps once in a blue moon. But that takes less commitement than going away for one/two months. 

I get it, you get paid, have fun, compete, but I've always heard it's physically and emotionally draining to be in the challenge, Maybe some people are done for good. Others might express willingness to return, but that doesn''t mean they'll do it in the end. Have these people express they want to return as of recent, and i'm not talking about, like a year ago, i'm talking about like yesterday. Can 24 hours is a long timeand you can change your mind about 300 times before they actually get a call. 

But enough about this. At the end of the day, we might not see Sarah for a while, which I'm perfectly fine with. I wish Bananas took at least a  two season break now..

Not to mention the bad living conditions they live in that several castmembers have spoken about. These challenges aren't as glamorus as they seem to be and that's been evident for years now.

Backpack needs to take more than a two season break..He needs to take a long *** hiatus.


I read an interview from Katie that made it seem like the Challenge houses are **** these days. I've seen multiple people complaining through multiple seasons, that people have trouble even sleeping because of the heat and lack of air conditioning. Not to mention being forced to drink tap water or alcohol all the time. No wonder drama is always starting. They probably have low level cabin fever in these shows.

v123, I actually do enjoy my studies (well, at least some of my homework). Can't help that i'm not a big fan of Corporate Finance, so I like to indulge in mindless tv and chat with people that enjoy the same on my free time. You are just as involve in our little discussion as I am, so you must have to some disdain for your current life since you claim I have to have a dislike for mine. Everyday I strive to be a better person, but I'm human, I'm going to do things that not be benificial and I'm gonna do things that will be. That's just life. 

It's not a form of addiction at all, by the way. I can say no to drugs and I have actually. I've gone months without smoking because I just didn't feel like doing it. I know my limits and I know when it's the right time and right place to do things. But if you have that mentality, would you say, everything is an addiction then? Sparingly watching tv or sparingly eating? Minor form of addiction?

There's a fine line of being realistic and pragmantic and then there's being pessimistic and cynical. You seems to be the latter from our conversation. Hey, I don't know you, but I'm just basing my assumptions on our conversation. I wouldn't say it's an arguement, cause I'm not even mad. I'm more interested in why you think the way you do. 

But please, stop projecting you own "hate" or "dislike" for your own life onto others. Or maybe you're trying to troll. I'm not sure what is it, but it's really bugging me. lol. I feel like this is a cry for help or something. But maybe I am the one reading too much into your comments. :/ Or maybe you are trying to hard to make a rebutal, so you're reaching for anything you can grab. Because everything you're accusing me of, you're doing the same (except smoking weed). Because you're invested in this as much as I am responding to me.

PS: I'm not a delusionist, I'm an optimist (borderline delusionist sometimes). I love to do things that make me happy, sometimes I live vicariously through tv/movies or other people, but that just inspires me and gives me the drive to get to whether I want to be. There is not wrong with losing yourself in your fantasy from time to time. It recharges my spirits and energy to focus back in reality. Life is a balance. Being realistic but also, optimistic and keeping positive.

Are we...still talking about the Challenge? O.O

ill try to keep it short since i dont want to derail the thread but youre welcome to PM if my comments really make you feel that uncomfortable about your life that you need to plead your case further

you can define the parameters and borders of an addiction to whatever makes you feel better about your choices but anything that negatively or neutrally disturbs you by taking away your time is technically hurting you since that resource is finite. do you have perfect grades? are you at your perfect shape? do you speak all the languages you want to speak? what about your savings? hopefully you get the point

if you have a basic amount of intelligence you should be able to figure out why youre fantasizing about SOMEONE ELSE's life that isnt even related to you in anyway

lastly u shouldnt admit to being an optimist much less a borderline delusionist. u basically admit to having no awareness because your default assumption on everything is positive even when its not. nature is neither opti nor pessi, shes all about facts

optimists actually tend to be much dumber and lower on the reasoning capabilities spectrum in general when statistically measured. personally i dont think i could ever deal with having the mental level of a flatworm or forest gump even if i were "happy" all the time but i guess if ur not aware of your dumbness or lack of self awareness or lack of capabilities then you cant appreciate it

Topic change anyone?

The Paula comparison is nonsense. If you don't see that you're clueless. 

Bananas posted a picture of his fractured rib on Twitter so I guess he was telling the truth.

I like how this comment got buried.

Oh of course it did what more do you expect from this board lol 

Yup. Pretty much. Bananas handles his losses very well and doesn't make up excuses so once again people are discreditting his as a competitor.

Bananas never screwed over Paula. That was Kenny and Derrick

Bananas could have stopped it but if he did he would have been sent home. He had no choice but to follow KENNYS plan. That's why bringing up Paula doesn't make much sense to me because when it comes to Sarah it wasn't either Sarah or Johnny it could have been both. I still think Sarah made a smart choice but bringing up Paula is pointless. 

THANK YOU. I felt bad for Paula 100% and she was betrayed but at the same time this was a situation was where Johnny had to choose between himself or Paula. And Kenny was also apart of this plan...It wasn't just Bananas. LAWLZ. Just like on Rivals Paula had to choose between Kenny or Tyler/Johnny. She had no choice and I don't remember Bananas ever yelling at Paula about that.

Sarah had a choice...yes it was a smart move because she sucks at endurance and Banany would probably beat them but I don't agree that you screw your friends over who you've known forever and gave your word too. Bananas has every right to be upset...Sarah would have been upset if he voted her in. ANYONE on this show would have been upset if someone that they had an alliance with for a long time threw them under the bus when they didn't have to..Anyone on this **** show would have been and it is completely understandable. Everyone is just agreeing with Sarah's decision because they hate Bananas. I gurantee if Bananas did it then everyone would have been like awww poor Sarah, Bananas is this backstabbing *******.

I didn't like Sarah much before this so now I can't stand her even more because of her whole innocent act and her condescending smile. 

Rest of my thoughts on the episode (I was out of town so I just watched it)

Nany/Theresa both fought hard and should be proud of themselves. That was intense. Really wish Nany won though because Theresa sucks as a person. 

Leroy/Bananas both fought hard too! Leroy deserves the final this season, no doubt.

I love drunk Nany *****. I love that she can separate the game and have fun. She seems like just a cool person to be friends with.

Jay/Jenna...literally always forget they are still on here. Blah

Nia...Yikes. She had no reason to be mad at Sarah because Sarah didn't owe her anything, they weren't friends and she needs to understand that.

Nia/Jordan...their relationship is so weird too me that I'm not surprised that happen. I did think the situation was exaggerated but whatever.  Leroy definitely got an upgrade as a partner.

Still haven't watched the aftershow....anyone know where I can watch it?? Please! : )

Thank you! I couldn't find it first..

I love Leroy calling Sarah a fraud because I've seen it since day 1 on Brookyln.

Yeah Leroy/Nia don't have a reason to be mad at Sarah but what they are saying about her is the truth.

 

I hope next Challenge Leroy is on, Bananas isn't. I'm tired of seeing him be Bananas' sidekick.

Theresa vs Nany was great, I wish we got to see Nia destroy her tho.
Johnny is a ***** for posting a fake pic of broken ribs .

Finally a post from you that isn't ten paragraphs long lol.

Nany has now last in eliminations with Alton and Bananas(twice) as partners, two of the strongest, I'm starting to think she sucks.


After saving Leroy and beating Nany, I like Theresa now. I didn't really dislike Nany until this season, but man when she was laughing and smiling at Wes as he lay on the ground hurt, that really ****** me off. Good god I hated that face. I thought she was going to make it to the end, so glad she didn't.

Seconded Biggrin

Alton threw the elimination...

Leroy is just stronger than Bananas  so it isn't like she was the reason they lost X battle and she put up a **** of a fight against 10&2, it could have gone either way.. She doesn't suck whatsoever.

I wouldn't go THAT far! LOL

Nany was fine in that elimination. Had the upper hand early, but Theresa was able to weather the storm and tire her out. Either way, she hardly embarrassed herself. Nany is a solid second-tier player in this game.

I thought that before too, Alton throwing the elimination, but after seeing Nany's performance this season, I have my doubts that Alton wasn't just weighed down by a bad partner. I mean, when has she ever stood out as a good performer? Think about that for a second. I don't recall her ever shining, and she was the sole reason why her and Johnny lost their first elimination against Leroy and Nia.

She lost the Free Agents final to Laurel, regarded as one of the top females in the history of this show, by nine minutes. I'd say that was a pretty good performance. Nany isn't a superstar player, but she's definitely solid and she certainly isn't a liability.

Tras****e said he threw it. I think Alton even admitted to throwing it. Even Jemmye made a tweet about it not too long ago saying Nany's first final should have been on Seasons because Alton threw it.
