This is a testament to casting putting together a great cast of 40 than I'm pretty happy with this Top 26. Clearly rooting for the next boots to be Josh, Kaycee, Bananas, and Tori. And Nehemiah, Derrick, Ryan, Rachel, Olivia, or Michele would all be acceptable losses. Really hoping the Top 16 comes down to Averey, Aviv, Cara, Jonna, Jenny, Laurel, Nia, Tina, Crazy Brad, Cory, Darrell, Derek, Devin, Jordan, Kyland, and Theo.
Why do y'all think the format changed already?? Do you realize how insane it would be to have the first two episodes be this massive opening purge eliminationmania where it's all about breaking into Era Teams of 8 and then format switch again two episodes later? There's no way in hell they're doing two massive format changes in the first five/six episodes. I would expect at least one to three more rounds of team play/double eliminations before pairs or individuals begin. Personally I expect them to start the individual game at 20, which will be around episode 9, which will allow you to have 10 episodes of single elimination with a 10 person, 2 part final in 20 episodes.
Do we expect that there's a Cold War going on between Laurel/Cara/Tori? I mean, I feel like they're destined to take significant shots at each other shortly?
Those two names are a surprise. I expected Emily to go far as well as CT.
emily was my winner pick tbh lol
Not being on for a bit cost will cost you, unless your name is Queen Aviv.
All the CrossFit training in the world that woman does too. But then again she's always been terrible at puzzles, and elims have been puzzle heavy the past few seasons, so maybe?
As long as Tori, Kaycee, Bananas, and Devin are out soon I think this season might be pretty decent for this era. I might actually watch it. I miss Katie already tho

Laurel already sent cara in, I don't think the war is that cold

Yeah, but that was three rounds ago? It's just kind of weird that Emily somehow took Cara's spot, but then again we don't know the team voting format...

We don't know cara isn't being thrown in more than once

Yeah I think Emily is one of the top competitors no doubt, but she is a bit overrated. Not that good in puzzles, not the best endurance wise. I think with this season she just met her match with all of these other top females.

We don't know all the matchups to be fair. Just because they're all still in doesn't mean they haven't thrown each other into elimination.

We almost do though? The last three elimination rounds are most likely Jodi/Era 3 Girl, Tony/Era 1 Guy, Aneesa/Era 4 Girl, Horacio/Era 1 Guy, Emily/Era 1 Girl, CT/Era 1 Guy.
normally don't ***** at you about your negativity, but this is insane. Do you see how many great era 1 contestants we still have left? We have similar favorites and they are all still in, this is easily the best season in years. this is the first time i will call you out for being negative for the sake of being negative. stop it.
There are 3 great Era 1 people left, and they are on the chopping block. 6 of my favorites left in the purge and 4 people I were excited to see have since left. All the people I hate are still there and in good position and then a bunch of people with zero contributions. It's not being negative. It's just my personal disappointment based on the current bootlist and what the trajectory looks like. I think it has potential and will probably be 100x better than anything in the covid era and beyond of The Challenge, but to pretend it'll be greatest of all-time is asinine. Even with my dream boot order the editing and storytelling of the current production team wouldn't allow it to come in the top 10.
Yah, I am disappointed too but I can't say I'm shocked. Good cast, but with the format, we are likely to get the same result of the vacation alliance until the end. But I always expect production to set them up nicely. We cant have nice things.

If they're still using the same 4 elims (which they better since they'd have wasted them early otherwise), then none of those are puzzles.
And I could see Emily lose to Rachel in an endurnace comp like Knot So Fast or one that needed more agility like Balls In. Rachel is just as fitness focused.
A lot depends if Bananas and Tori are just okay making the final with very little chance of winning like they were in USA2. If they really don't care that much about winning and just making it as deep as possible for their "brands", then they will play conservatively and not take shots.

The vacation alliance needs to keep getting broken up for the strays to have a chance. Need a Devin, Tori, Kaycee, Jordan, Bananas exit soon....

The USA2 boot order up to Alyssa Lopez was worse imo
Will we know the elimination match ups?
And did the format change?

Who are they? Your witchcraft may be working.
nurys, aneesa, and emily were the three. kaycee and tori you're next
Thought you were the only witch here?

Presumed daily team records since the team format started.
Win means finishing first or second, loss mean finishing third or fourth:
Era 4: 2-1
Era 3: 2-1
Era 2: 2-1
Era 1: 0-3
I just don't see how losing a competent CT, fat as he could be, is going to turn around 0-3. Era 1 might get wiped out.
Yeah, I don't see Era 1 lasting much longer (obv, depends on format), but I'm rooting for Darrell, Rachel, and Tina!

Gamer tweeted "Amanda vs Tony", damn Tony came in wanting drama with everyone, huh?
She might've brought up his hookup with Jenna
Tbh.. y'all put way too much stock into the vacation alliance.
