Theyll prob have lights on them the entire time so doubt it'll be pitch black.

The dark would be more interesting from a competition stand point -- adds even more of a mental component to it because the ocean in the dark is scary af. It just wouldn't really translate that well to tv imo.

 

It can't be worse than watching people jump on a trampoline and looking at a puzzle lol.

Idk why they didn't just have everyone do the second part on with the trampoline on the truck.

Unnecessary two-parters to some of these challenges lately have been so odd -- like the stadium musical chairs on AS4 did not need a random puzzle part, esp when the adventage in part 1 wasn't good.

Lol, that was so ridiculous.  "Congrats everyone who ran their ***** off.  You all get a 30 second head start?"  Meanwhile Brad and Laurel who got eliminated first were resting the entire time.

The Tori/Cara elimination sounds like some challenge they do always as a merge episode immunity in a Spanish show. But here is better done, you have to hold a ligth torch over water, and it cant touch the water and also your fire can't die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voSJ_axdC2k

Production can't even copy from other shows properly -- they leave out the interesting elements lol

 

I like when they try new eliminations and I like when they do eliminations in a different location than just the generic arena...but idk if this sounds like something that'll translate into great TV, I'd have to see it.

You can see a slight variation of it on Survivor called Last Gasp, except that it involves players staying under a grate and tryng not to drown as the tide rises, but it's both endurance and mental.

This is a perfect challenge to me. While on some level you have to be comfortable in the water, you don't have to be a good swimmer and (as has been noted) it's ultimately mental more than anything.

While on some level any challenge you come up with with favor one person more than another, it's not overly difficult to come up with ones that are fairly neutral. I'm not even bothered by challenges favoring one person, it's just that when a competitor seems to draw a type of challenge that favors them multiple times, things can't help but be perceived as rigged.

 

So all they needed to do is float and******* are saying it's rigged lmaoooo I can't 

Part of why Cara isn't the strongest swimmer is because she's scared of it/never been comfortable in it. She's gotten better but the original dislike is still there.

This, and it's completely normal/natural. It's like people who are afraid of heights; they can work to get more comfortable with it, but it's never going to be something they love. I know people who fly all of the time for work, but still don't like it and will drive whenever possible.

A good friend of mine has always been scared of water, and even after taking swimming lessons they still won't want to get in the ocean at all (for various reasons, but the choppy water is one reason) and will not go in the deep end of a pool.

It sounds like the very first mission from The Gauntlet that Elka won for her team.

Seeing the latest All Stars 4 and how Cara tells Laurel that Nicole is playing her and how that was shown to be 100% true, it makes it all the more unhinged that Laurel throws Cara into the first elimination on 40 and later brings up Cara's past abuse. Cara obviously needs to just completely separate herself from Laurel, but also I really hope Laurel seeks the help she clearly needs.

Also, Averey probably regrets playing scared in AS4 and that's why it made her throw herself in elimination that episode.

CARA TIRED TORI OUT AND MADE HER FLOP IN THE FINAL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA. KARMAAAAAAAAA #KARMAMARIA. Eliminate Cara and it'll cost ya! Tori has a LOT of ******* nerve guest starring on the Cara Maria show and then eliminating her, so it serves her right that she got last place. I just love the KARMA. 

Crimes Tori Deal is guilty of: 

  • Stealing Jordan's cat 
  • Abandoning her cat 
  • Eliminating Cara Maria on the Cara Maria show 
  • Being a terrorist 
  • Michele made sure to beat Tori so that she could get last and have the Karma Maria effect reach its FULL effect. Michele did this for me and for Cara. 

    Oh yeah, and congratulations to Rachel! I agree with CosmicDiva, I like that she won just in time for pride month. I wish I had more time to root for Jenny because I love her, but towards the end I was rooting against her because she was competition for my Queen. PS **** Tori Deal. 

    Where's OldSchooler to be like "I may not like that feathery haired freak, but Skkkye Toxic clearly rigged this for Vicki" when you need him?

    if it was the Cara Maria show, then why did she get herself eliminated by queen Tori? To me, that's a flop Smile

    tori got last place in a final again and michele beat her out of all people in a final. Sounds like two flops to me... glad cara and tori are cool now and flopping together so adorable! Smile

    If were being technical everyone FLOPPED on the season except Rachel and Jordan *giggles*

    In Cara's recent challenge seasons she's lost to Michele, Laurel and Tori! Isn't she the "GoAt" to SOME? LOL

    Michele made sure to beat Tori so that she could get last and have the Karma Maria effect reach its FULL effect. Michele did this for me and for Cara. 

    she also beat the "mercenary" on S39 & out-placed her on S40. Queen is coming to Dog walk Cara on S41! I know that's right Michele!

    They are friends now and they BOTH flopped so you can stop trying to shade her as they are both LOSERS lol. They both did terrible this season anyways on to 41! Smile

    Flopnanas, I wanna tell you to shut up because you said that Cara's iconic return was a flop. But, you also said that Tori flopped, so I'm conflicted. 

    If were being technical everyone FLOPPED on the season except Rachel and Jordan *giggles*

    Actually, if we're being "technical," the term "flop" refers to failing totally. I don't think anyone who won an elimination, a daily, etc can be technically considered a "flop."

    I'm still so happy for Rachel! It must feel really good to comeback to a show after 20 years, and not only survive after your entire team is wiped out, but also win. Also happy for Derek.

    You're right. My bad. I meant her debut was 20 years ago.
