[QUOTE=Eddie;175348]Wes and Ev are doing bad choices... Kenny is not smart... Please...[/QUOTE]
Pretty much. Strategically, they might be the right choices, but they're forgetting that they need to keep people on their side and not alienate the others. Honestly, I think Wes should have offered himself against Theresa and Ryan. That way, he can prove to Danny that he's willing to go in, and he would have gotten Theresa and Ryan on his "turn" in Exile, instead of pissing all over his friendship with Danny by throwing him against Jill and Pete when they had a choice. I think the rest of the Alliance would have been much more ok with going and would have felt a lot more safe and loyal to the alliance if Wes had gone in. But of course, who cares about everyone else, right? Wes is just looking out for himself, after all.
A word from Sandy's Facebook fan page:

So, perhaps that explains why Danny didn't take her bag. I'm sure he would have if he thought it was ok.

I guess I never thought about the disqualification aspect. I still don't know if they would have won. Danny claimed he could have ran another one, but that is pretty easy to say after you are done. I am pretty sure he was drained... no one before him came out of the exile feeling "fresh" so I don't think he his Mr. Fit and could run another one. I do have to give props to him and his effort. He surprised myself and a lot of other people. If Danny wouldn't become such a worry-wart in these games he probably would do a lot better. He tries to get to involved instead of just playing (like say someone like Landon). It is all about your ability to stay calm and have composure, and Danny has to work on that.

The way I look at it (coming from a long background of running)...if you're ready to run another one, you didn't run hard enough the first time.
However, I understand wanting to stay within eye's distance of your partner.
I was hoping Sandy and Danny would make it back. Sandy is one of the only FM girls I like this season. I hope to see her on a challenge in the future, she's funny.
It was real sad to me that Danny was saying such nice things about Wes, and Wes did the opposite. This episode made me like Danny more (maybe its the mom thing, I lost mine suddenly 2 years ago). I really can't stand Wes now.
I keep wondering how things would be if Noor and Evelyn would have been partners. They are my favorite two people on this challenge. Also, if Jonna hadn't of forgotten her passport I wonder how things would be.

I thought it was funny when he said he could have run another. Pete is in way better shape than Danny but he was carrying two bags which is why it would make sense that he would be on the ground. I like Danny but hes gained a good amount of weight since Austin so I definitely wouldn't refer to him as Mr. Fit haha.
[QUOTE=rw/rrjunkie;175453]I'm sorry to say Jillian isn't as strong as people make her up to be. She hasn't proved herself on any of the challenges yet.[/QUOTE]
Im guessing you completely missed out Gaunlet 3
btw the 1st mission of FM2 was similar to the 1st one on G3, so i'm not surprised :/ that's sad, i think we never saw any other 2 similar missions in the entire RW/RR challenge

Maybe if they went back to more mental challenges like in [I]Challenges[/I] past, they'd be better off.
There is a part of me that feels bad for Danny. Wes is more focused on the game than anything else and Ryan is a tool to work against Kenny(for however long that works). Though I'll give Danny props because him and Sandy put in a good effort in the exile.
Also it's weird to say but I liked Kenny and Laurel winning. Although I will admit the competitions are beginning to look almost the same in nature.
I was bummed to see Sandy go. She was one of my favorites this season..
She might have delayed Danny a bit at the end, but she did get him in the lead in the first place..
Hopefully she returns for future challenges

I didn't notice that until now. Its also similiar but not really to one from the D2.
I'm getting super tired of Kenny and Laurel winning. Can they have a mission where small size might actually help, or at least not be a hindrance? Laurel didn't even have to jump to reach the bag--she just leaned out.
[quote]I'm getting super tired of Kenny and Laurel winning[/quote]Same here. The show becomes predictable. Just like on the Ruins - champions, champions, champions keep on winning and challengers had only one victory.
[QUOTE=Youssarian;175942]It looked like that last week too. The result? They won.[/QUOTE]
Maybe they do win next week, and Evelyn and Wes are telling Kenny who they are going to vote in since they have the majority to control who the Exile opponent is? Who knows.
As for as the history of the challenges itself, I have always said and still believe that Evelyn is the best pure female athlete in the history of these challenges, and one on one, I don't think anyone can take her in a competition when it's all on the line.
Laurel imo has performed consistantly better than all the females on this challenge, yet that is due to a number of variables. (1.) She has a more viable partner, (2.) winning previous challenges helps set positioning which is an advantage (Yeah they won the rope swing challenge after going first, but a taller person clearly has an advantage especially when her partner gives a good push), (3.) Laurel isn't a slouch, she is a worthy adversary, and i personally think she would match up well with most of the female atheletes in any one on one format, but to say that she is better than Ev, I can't do it. In a one on one format where you have to rely on yourself, Evelyn would smoke anyone in almost any challenge minus some BMP sabatoge effort to dispose of her. she is unnerved, too strong, to agile, and too focused.
As for this game, I do question her and Wes's moves. Last week's move to put Katelyn/Brandon in as opposed to anyone else was the right move based on fairness. I do not question that. I do question them convincing Kenny to vote in certain teams, let Kenny vote in whoever, and react accordingly. CJ being sacrificed imo was the wrong play. Let Kenny vote in Wes or Ev ...... they control their opponent either way without upsetting the masses.
I see no benefit in sparing a turncoat like Ryan who has proven to be disloyal in challenges past. Even if Danny's team win over Jillian's, you still lose at least 2 votes (these aren't just swing votes) because the other teams in the alliance start to question Wes'/Ev's loyalty.
Ryan sides with Kenny over Wes. In his raw meet footage he says to Kenny, "[B]Ultimately, we were on your side, ultimately[/B]...but we still had to go in and make some moves, otherwise we'd be going in."
