Challenge: Rivals - Through the Looking Glass

I don't like how there is no strategy talk on this challenge, on FM2 they were always strategizing. Its just drunks, challenge, deliberation, fight, elimination. I don't know maybe this challenge was too easy strategy wise, but I kinda like the politics aspect of the challenges.

Which makes it suck that they appear to be running things. But if they get last in a challenge, anything can happen in a jungle! That's the only twist to prevent an alliance from running this. But my hopes based on the first two are low of that. I am not sure what training Tyrie does for this like he says, but he should probably try a different routine.

On previous challenges we knew who was in what alliance, it seems every episode is the same thing different argument.

I like it how Jasmine put Therasa back to her place, even it went a little bit too crazy. I'm sick of Theresa using her tall body to lunge forward anybody who's shorter (like the way she did with Camila). It's embarrassing for her to step back and shut up when Jasmine didn't back down.

What I got from the Camila/Theresa fight with Jonna/Jasmine. Jonna - talked **** for no real reason but then again, no one really needs a reason to talk ****. Camila - got Jonna's name wrong by mistake. An honest mistake that anybody could do. Jonna - lost it cause she's crazy and can't think straight. Camila - tried to calmly talk to Jonna and got nothing but attitude and an ugly smirk. Theresa and Jasmine jump in like crazies because "oh, it's my partner you're talking to." I think they're all dumb.

-I'm so loving Jonna's attitude this show. She coming of as a real ***** and I love it. -Jasemine doesn't care. lol. -I don't know what's up with Adam, but he needs to******* up and quit complaining. if you guys loose and CT blames it on you, well, man up. They've been doing really well. What benefits do you have whining to the JEK alliance.

[QUOTE=cryssy19;256645]I highly disagree. So Adam talked smack about CT, maybe he was wrong, maybe he's always been wrong, but it's hardly a situation that's worthy of 12 stitches. What is this, kindergarden? People are always gonna do something stupid, you don't beat them up... is that the only way you can solve a situation? No, you an adult, that's poor conduct. I still think CT was way out of line then and all the times he got physical with Adam. I don't agree with Adam, but doesn't mean he deserved 12 stitches or being pushed IMO.[/QUOTE] That happened, what, 2 or 3 years ago? If one can't forgive and get over something that happened that long ago that the other person truly is sorry for, then that is immature.

[QUOTE=TDMEL52;256389]How is Mike a joke, [B]I'm sorry that he is the only smart person on this cast[/B], he is the only one who will make more money that all of you pathetic idiots.[/QUOTE] *Ahem* I have a bone to pick with you about that statement. Also, Intelligence isn't measured by the digits in your bank account; scores of brilliant minds died paupers.

Adam is such a dumb fool. If those moron were really your friends, wouldn't they welcome you into their alliance despite their dislike of CT? They seem to accept Nehemiah & Wes pretty easily.

[QUOTE=k8mnstr;256696]*Ahem* I have a bone to pick with you about that statement. Also, Intelligence isn't measured by the digits in your bank account; scores of brilliant minds died paupers.[/QUOTE] I think he was referring to JEK and company. Also in tonight's episode I remember thinking "Katelynn really seems interested in what Mike is saying, cool". Especially when compared to Laurel's and some others' reactions... Also, if you don't mind answering, how did the deliberation go down this episode, or was it as clear cut as the edit made it seem?

[QUOTE=dylan76;256697]Adam is such a dumb fool. If those moron were really your friends, wouldn't they welcome you into their alliance despite their dislike of CT?

I know I sure wouldn't, I don't think they dislike CT, I dont get why people are saying that?? Wes was siting and talking to him and Mandi, I don't think any of the guys have animosity in the house as of right now. And they're friendly with Adam but they don't have loyalty to him and I wouldn't expect them to.

He's calling Adam dumb for being friends with them. Although, calling someone dumb cause of who he or she is friends with is, well, dumb. Adam KNOWS that CT can't go in unless Adam goes in. Everybody knows that.

[QUOTE=k8mnstr;256696]*Ahem* I have a bone to pick with you about that statement. Also, Intelligence isn't measured by the digits in your bank account; scores of brilliant minds died paupers.[/QUOTE] Katelynn who do you vote with?

how any of you can have respect for adam k is dumbfounding, this fool is talking crap on his partner...thats his problem and why CT always gets in his face no loyalty. I was giving adam a pass for the most part but I can no longer take his female tendencies. LOL at Wes not wanting CT to get with Mandi /kanyeshrug you know what they say if you got haters your doing something right. All of you big JEK and Wes fans dont think its funny, they a)all want to get in CT's face so he throws a punch instead of beating him in challenges? theres a reason why. b) Leroy said CT is a beast in challenges. c) Wes said that CT is probably stronger than him, and hes the most aggrogant fool of them all what it comes down to is all the other males already know CT is the biggest threat hands down, no one wants to against him and no one wants him to win. Adam K no loyalty, i had little respect for you as a man I no longer have any i want to punk you like CT did. I honestly rather have Adam R back over Adam K. Adam R is cool as **** sober. Also we havent been given the curveball thats coming at some point i suspect the teams will be broken up and solo challenges will be done just a

Since I made Sarah dissent on the Aneesa/Robyn vote my hands were tied this time around. About an hour before deliberation everyone knew what was up. Although, Brandon had to do some major politicking to make sure it wasn't him and Ty going in. B was kinda a nervous wreck when it came to deliberations, but then again after seeing how he was treated on Cutthroat who could blame him? I never understood why Aneesa, Ty, Brandon, Tyrie, Jazz, and Jonna didn't just host a little NAACP meeting and change the balance in political power in this game. They certainly had the numbers from the start...

It looks like the team going in chooses and every one just agrees to what they want.

[QUOTE=Lionqueen11;256711]How does the bandwagon work? I know its a silly question[/QUOTE] Oro? :umnik2: JEK/Wes says a name. Everyone repeats that name. The term 'bandwagon' as we use it today dates back to the mid 19th century, where originally a large wagon used to carry the band in a circus procession; as these also figured in celebrations of successful political campaigns, being on the bandwagon came to represent "attaching oneself to anything that looks likely to succeed,".

Your way smarter then some of the cast members on the show.

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;256387]Intro sucks.[/QUOTE] I think intro is amazing. One of the best

[QUOTE=4realWORLD;256719]I think intro is amazing. One of the best[/QUOTE] Wasn't much of an into though, just people talking, they need to put the names of each cast member. lol it was so quick I didn't even know if the whole cast was in it.

My favorite part of the episode was CT carrying a swan by himself that took Evan, Kenny, Wes and Bananas to all carry together. Hahah he's a beast. Yum.

This could have been a pretty solid counter alliance to the JEK Dynamic. Frankly I don't care for this whole alliance crap anyway, but when in Rome and all that crap... I think they didnt all align because the're not nearly as obsessed with "playing the game" as JEK are. They either want to play it fair (Leroy, CT, Mike, Aneesa, Robin) or are too laid back to even try (Ty, Jaz, Jonna)... [QUOTE=BolsFap;256721]Because it's not written anywhere in the colored peoples handbook that we must all work together on game shows[/QUOTE] Truth, but it's not like JEK was sprinting to get any of the people she named on their side in this season or in past seasons (Wes tried with Leroy kinda). And honestly the smart thing to do would have been for them to all team up. Plus CT and Leroy's teams of course.

Lol I think its funny how Derrick has been tweeting **** about Wes all night, I think he's still pissed he lost to him on duel 1, he won tonight and he does have the body of a greek god get over it lmao.

[QUOTE]Because it's not written anywhere in the colored peoples handbook that we must all work together on game shows[/QUOTE] Seriously. Wtf was that NAACP remark...
