So we can excuse Olivia taking it easy on Nurys, but we give Nia shit for her elimination against Averey even tho she was CLEARLY holding back against Averey ? Y'all pick and choose when y'all really wanna analyze these wins/losses.
Nia is clearly a changed person and she has lost a ton of that fire she used to have. But even in her history, when we've seen Nia in her physical eliminations, she pretty regularly consistently underperforms: loss to Cara, win against Averey taking 90 minutes, loss in the WC, not demolishing Amanda tonight.
Her harness was tightened more than Cara's lmao. She literally gave up and even had she won, she wouldn't have been able to continue. Did u not watch the aftershow? She literally had to quit and they changed the way that elimination was done BECAUSE of her. Had her and Cara had the rope like everyone else did, Cara goes home.
Took her 90 minutes to beat Averey because like I said, she was holding back and like I also just said, it's crazy we can say Olivia was holding back against Nurys but can't say the same for Nia and Averey. Nia was literally apologizing everytime she got rough with Averey and you mean to tell me she wasn't holding back or being cautious? Also just watched that elimination, Nia never struggled physically lmao she was literally yanking , jerking and tossing Averey all around that pit.
Amanda did get destroyed lmao idk what show yall were watching but like I said Amanda scored ONE point because Nia thought the round was over and then Nia completely bulldozed her the other rounds. It literally took Nia nothing to score on Amanda lmao and she wasn't even going her hardest.
Uhhh...you can argue with Nia herself because even she admitted she was shitting the bed against Amanda.

Nia was not holding back against Averey and Olivia deserves criticism. When competiting friendship goes out the window
I think Olivia deserves criticism only if her sympathy had allowed Nurys to score/win. No one really gives Laurel shit for letting Jasmine have a sympathy point. In fact that's like the only highlight of her sportsmanship in her whole Challenge career.
Lmaooo nia even admitted she sucks... just imagine if she was going against someone anywhere close to her size! Like i said she sucks which is fine bc plenty people are flops but lets not give excuses but now shes boring entertainment wise as well.
Laurel and nia are pretty much the same height and as much as I can't stand that demon laurel she has proven time and time again she isn't a flop unlike nia.
No ones even saying Nia is terrible she's just not a beast that she should be for her size. Almost every elim and daily she doesn't have that fire in her and it shows. And it's ok she can be an average to above average competitor. I wish she at least had her sarcasm and pettiness she used to have but she's grown now. At the end of the day no reason little Amanda should be knocking her down causing her to miss.

Right Nia just lacks the competitive drive that is needed. There's a ton of potential

There is no argument lmao Nia always critiques herself the most, in reality she didn't lmao she won at the end of the day and we're talking about the terms of physicality. Physically Nia didn't underperform. Was railing Amanda with ease as I said.

For hurting her...she still hurt her lol
Apologizing doesn't mean you didn't try. You can **** someone up and say you're sorry because that wasn't your intent (to injure/hurt them)
What was the 'dead ball' rule because I don't get why it wasn't a dead ball when Nia missed and the ball hit the ground? Wasn't that a dead ball in past seasons? Even in this specific Hall Brawl we saw Amanda's ball hit the ground and get called a dead ball.

It didn't make sense--either they changed it between the men or women or something was off with the edit.

I think if the ball is loose for too long, or out of the playing circle, or you're wrapped up by your opponent with the ball on the ground, TJ calls dead ball. If the ball's free in the playing circle and the offensive player is free, play on.
I hate they started this season out with a purge. So sad to see Katie and KellyAnne go home so early. Katie really put up an amazing fight and I got excited for a second cause I thought KellyAnne was going to pull out a win! so happy we only had to deal with Paulie for two episodes. I hate him and Theo so either could have left but I think Theo is slightly more bearable that Paulie, but he still comes off as an over dramatic bad actor so hopefully he goes soon. I hope we don't do any more giant purges like this...

Nia has the body that A LOT of challenge girls wish they had.

Tbh I'm glad they used take shelter, it's a good elimination that actually requires strategy.

Toby really makes watching this unbearable
Ugh maYbe it's paulie. they just need to lay some of these ppl off
So how are people watching this if its not on Mtv.com even a day or two later?
They watch it live
Or illegally
Ah. Nonja, I just dm'd you.
So it's not even on P+? that's whack.
Baby we pay $28 for philotv to watch and record the episodes. Purr
Good looks! I guess I gotta start working the corners to afford another streaming service.
Love the self-reflection and honesty here. Great to see.
Ranking the eliminated Challengers by how sad I am to see them go:

same. I prefer equalizer games like this - makes it more fun to watch because there is no way to predict the outcome.
Very sad: Nurys, Amanda
Little bit sad, but completely expected: Kellyanne, Katie
Ready for them to retire: Mark, Leroy, Brandon
Ready for them to stop getting called: Paulie
Move Amanda up to "expected" and it's a good list...or create very sad but expected lol
Amanda going home was probably the second most predictable event after Katie
