The prize money for third place is so small? 1,000? I have more than that in my bank account rn and I'm not rich lol. Probably cuz Jenna didn't make the final so they said well screw third place now lol
Considering they're splitting the team bank, it makes sense.3rd Place Champ goes home with $17,500 which is on par with other seasons.3rd place Underdog goes home with $26,250

third place champ?
If a champ gets 3rd place they get that much, if underdog gets 3rd they get their amount.
We get it, CT smoked Darrell but wtf was up with the slow motion and gloomy music and stillshots of Darrell lookin' like he was about to cry? Why wasn't the same done to Bananas when Darrell beat him?
MTV kinda did Darrell dirty.. like wtf.We get it, CT smoked Darrell but wtf was up with the slow motion and gloomy music and stillshots of Darrell lookin' like he was about to cry? Why wasn't the same done to Bananas when Darrell beat him?
it was right before the final...I don't think it was anything shady though.
Maybe not shady, but Idk I just thought it was a little too much. If it had been a close elimination, then sure it'd be fine. But the dude got smoked it just felt like pouring salt on the wound by adding all the extra effects ontop of that
edit: I'm a little biased towards Darrell obviously, but still I thought the guy deserved a more honorable exit. He took out Zach and Bananas and is up there all-time with both Landon and CT, they could've added a short highlight reel for him atleast

You could see that Darrell kinda lost hope and got sad during this elimination round as it progressed. It felt like he had a slow death/elimination so I think the way the edited was good, because you really felt sorry for him, especially after he eliminated both Zach and Bananas in a physical elimination round. Like you could see that no matter what he did, CT just simply broke the code and Darrell couldn't do anything about it.CT definitely had one of the best showings in an elimination round with this one, the execution of his strategy and plan was perfect. No one could have solved that thing.

They might have to retire that elimination for good after that.

Finals don't need vets in them to be entertaining. What's wrong with a final being full of proven rookies? But in this case there's literally only 2 people likable for me. Likability also has a big factor but to just say too many newbies makes you sound like someone from the FB group ;/. Reason why this final is gonna be boring is cause majority of them are so unlikable.
Having a mix of veterans and newer players is ideal. New people need to conquer the old to make their footing in the game. That's what makes for good competition and storylines.
No its not Ideal...at least not for me. I'd rather see a fresh crop of rookies in the final instead of old, tired *** veterans. Its more interesting if you ask me because I haven't seen it a thousand ******* times already. I feel like the people say that are too attached to the vets and won't be satisfied unless they're involved in everything regarding this show. I also don't think they need to beat the vets in order to have a place in the game..that's never been the case and it never will be theres no gatekeeper bullshit to this show and it doesnt make for better storylines either..I don't give a damn about old vs new. I care about new people taking over this show and moving forward with it. Bit thats just me.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with just about all of this. In anything competitive, there are the champs and there are the people who want to be champs. Having new people running around aimlessly because they're new doesn't really add anything and takes away from the novelty of being "new" in the first place. For new people to be a "fresh" face, there has to been an established face. And I think the people who mindlessly "stan" new people do that because they are a possible shot in the arm to the establishment. People might grow to get sick of people or teams that are there every year (the Patriots in football, the Yankees in baseball for a long time, whatever team LeBron is on in basketball), but they enjoy seeing those people and teams get beat a lot.
So while you may be annoyed by the veterans, they are integral to the evolution of the game. The current veterans were new people at one point and the current new people will be veterans, some very soon. One of the reason I like The Challenge (and one of the reasons it's lasted for two decades) is that there is a tie between the current game and the old games. It's one of the few reality shows that h***tood the test of time due to that. One thing I liked about this season is that it allowed both veterans and newcomers to thrive. The format was messy in other ways (thought it was dumb the teams were uneven and thought it was dumb that elimination days were pre-determined -- though I'm guessing this was done to prevent a Gauntlet 3-type situation) but it did prevent it from being a situation where CT/Darrell/Bananas just gamed the rest of the field.
You're very p***ionate about always being new, but is new really that "new" if there's no old?
What annoyed me was CT talking about how "on this of all days, it's fate, it's crazy this is a coincidence" like smh we all know damn well production did that specifically because of the day.

Yes. They are still new despite the like of old. They are they debuting, on their 2nd or 3rd. They are fresh faces compared to the old that hae been on several seasons in a span of 7/8 years.

You missed my point. My point was that the novelty of being "new" fades when everything is constantly new every season. The fresh faces and attitudes aren't as fresh if there aren't veterans to contrast them against.

CT is obviously past his physical prime, but don't understimate CT's physical capabilities (which is what Darrell did), he's still a beast. It really depends on the elimination round, in Pole Wrestle, Darrell would be the favorite (better stamina and experience in physical battle), but in Balls In, CT would be the favorite (bigger and more powerful).
I also don't see the logic behind Darrell being a "flop" (like some people here think) for losing to the undisputed best competitor all time in CT.

I agree with DA. I see your point with the novelty of being new, but its a moot point when we have vets we seen countless times and seen what they bring to the table in terms of competiton and drama.

A new face is new since we haven't seen it; that's my counterarguement to you, berklonius.
Lol who said Darrell is flop? Like yikesti. Nobody could have beaten CT in that
Some people on here have been calling Darrell a flop on this season ever since it was revealed he was eliminated. I knew Darrell lost in some game of strategy or puzzle (which are always toss ups), because in physical battle he would take anyone out with the possible exception of CT.
Ok but was this episode really necessary? Zzzzzzz
I loved it smh. Calm and cool.
third place champ?
the music has been on POINT this season. Big Sean, Usher, Bruno Mars, and that song that played when Darrell got humiliated by CT.
So good! They've been playing a ton of great songs.
If a champ gets 3rd place they get that much, if underdog gets 3rd they get their amount.
