Just watched FM2 cant believe Kenny didnt win the final with Laurel, Landon with a worthless Carly carrying her 175lbs and an 80 pound bag to victory. What a performance.
Landon is so good. If Brad didn't swing the hook on Dual II, he would have likely gone 4 for 4 on Challenges. Even with the loss, I'd say he's the best ever.
Lando Commando is a beast. I also think he's the best Challenge male ever in terms of athletic ability. Darrell and CT are right under him.
I was also surprised Kenny didn't win. It just goes to show you that some people are not normal and Landon is definitely not normal lol dude is a cyborg. If Landon wasn't in that final, Kenny would have won regardless of what teams made it to the final, even if Darrell and CaraMaria were in the final Laurel and Kenny would have beaten them.
Kenny got [I]extremely[/I] lucky to get Laurel as his partner. If he had gotten Mandi and Wes got Laurel, Kenny would have pulled a Tyrie and went home in the 1st/2nd week.

That would've made that challenge so much better honestly.

Kenny needs strong partners and alliances to survive/get far in the game. Otherwise, it would be like The Duel all over. He's the weakest one out of the JEK in my opinion.

I agree. He won almost every challenge in Duel II anyways, 5/9. I believe even Evan said that if he would have been in the Finals, nobody would have a change against him

I wouldn't say Kenny is the weakest out of the 3. Kenny is still a beast at finals, just look at Rivals and how even though he carried Wes on his back they still made it to the top of the mountain for the 1st portion of the final 40 minutes ahead of Bananas and Tyler.
Kenny just isn't that good when it comes to missions because he doesn't really try. His politics alone are his biggest asset to getting him to the end.
Production only gave Kenny and Wes a 2 minute head start for the 2nd wave of the final the next day even though they completed the first part 40 minutes ahead of Bananas and Tyler. Not to mention that by the next day Wes was almost completely useless due to his body being completely broken down the day before.
Okay. That was really messed up. I always thought they should keep the time same, if the time between two teams was 40min, that should have been next day too. Same with other 2day challenges

Yeah and even though it does **** me off it was still an amazing final. The most grueling, hardest final in the history of the Challenge and I'm sure Kenny, Wes, Bananas, Tyler, Evelyn, Paula, Laurel and CaraMaria are some of the only few challengers that are tough enough to actually complete it.
Jenn, Mandi, Leroy and Mike Mike all died. As would 80% of other challengers.

Just to make it even more amazing, Evelyn did that with a broken rib.

I Say the Exes final was more brutal
Rivals to me seemed more brutal and Bananas recently said that was by far the hardest final.
Atleast Exes they got to sleep a little, on Rivals they were up all night standing on a rock....
Also the moving off the dirt with the barrel was extremely hard and one of the hardest parts about the final according to those that competed in it.

I agree. I always thought that 2 minute head start thing was stupid and just made the first day basically pointless.
I also think they should stop this 2-day final crap. There's really no reason for it. Just make the final challenge 1 day and call it a day.
These more recent finals are much better than the older ones. I've been watching the older challenges and the finals were a joke. On Gauntlet 2 they didn't even go past part 1.

Not really. These recent final challenges are very over the top, ridiculous,and not very fun to watch IMO. I thought final challenges in the older days were much better. They were hard but you didn't need to be some Olympic Athlete/Navy Seal/Army Soldier to do Them.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion but I can't agree.
Gauntlet 1 - an uphill 3 mile race with a couple easy obstacles. Lame.
Inferno 1 - run down the beach, eat a bunch of food, do a crossword puzzle. Lame.
Battle of the Sexes 2 - skydive (cool but not part of the competition), find a needle in a haystack and run a mile. Lame.
Inferno 2 - Starts to get interesting. Triathlon with rowing instead of swimming for the 1st leg. Still, the bike ride is only 6 miles and the run is only 1 or 2.
Gauntlet 2 - some sort of poker thing where the Veterans gave up after they lost the eating challenge in the first leg. Lamest ever
It's the final challenge, it should be very difficult.

The only thing I will agree with you on is The Gauntlet 2 Finale. That one was horrible but the others ones were fine and weren't lame at all. They were entertaining IMO. Especially The Gauntlet 1 and The Inferno 1 Were Sarah/Katie Won despite their respective teams trying so hard to get rid of them. Good Endings. Shame we'll never see that again.
And I agree that the final challenge should be hard but not to the point were you have to kill yourself in order to complete it.

I completely agree and I find myself skipping the finales after BOTE cause they the participants never look happy or like there enjoying themselves which makes it hard to watch tbh.

And Wes completed it while being extremely sick , I know Wes and Evelyn had a good long sleep back to the states.

Wes was sick too? Huh, I don't remember that.
I know Tyler and Jenn had food poisoning but didn't know Wes was sick as well.

I believe he had a fever which was amplified by the horrible food and possible exhaustion which is why he gassed out on the final day.
