Oh Kam did her thing despite not being in her usual shape. Commendable loss, some lapse in strategy before and after the elim but you win some, you lose some.
Also, I've been peeped Kam getting dragged on Twitter when we've seen Laurel scream at Cara and we know she was going around the house saying not to trust her.
I get Kam has the more outward edit but Vevmo and Twitter is more intune with the BTS tea. So it's not like we're all oblivious. But, oh well atp.
I just don't understand why Cara's accent didn't come out more on other seasons, which makes it more suspect.
It has come out on other seasons. This whole "Where did the accent come from?" thing has literally always been a discussion with her, which shows that the accent has always been there. I remember it being some bone of contention on Bloodlines in particular, despite her competing with her cousin who had an accent so of course it would come out more. As you said, being around other people with an accent can make it come out, as can being stressed, etc.
To me this accent thing is the exact type of irrelevant thing people focus on with Cara; they use it as criticism and go at her about it for no reason, but then also balk at her playing a victim.
Kam did alot better than I thought she would at the elim. For Cara to be a full time gymbot, she didnt smoke a post partum Kam the way I thought she would.
Anyways this was the first episode I was able to like Cara, she wasnt too whiny.
What does being a gym bot really have to do with using your fingers in slots to push balls down a contraption, though? Lol. That isn't exactly something anyone in a gym is working toward. The only area where gym work might have helped here is endurance, but they were only moving like 3 feet from where the balls were to where they put them in so I don't even think it took much endurance. This elimination was really just about having the right strategy and staying calm, both of which Cara did. It was ultimately pretty much a "carnival game" elimination.
Can someone tell me what Leroy says at 38:46 in this latest episode because based on what I've read here and other places my ears apparently are not working?

Im not even being funny or whitty, I stopped reading after the first sentence. If you cant understand the fact that there was an obvious endurance element to this elimination then I will never take a debate or conversation with you serious.
Id advise you to not reply to me with another paragraph because im most likely not gonna respond. Make your response short, and the first sentence needs to be "Youre right, I underestimated the endurance aspect"... Otherwise im not engaging.
I don't think Laurel would've beaten Cara in that particular elimination because of how tall Laurel is so I understand Laurel mindset. Losing to Cara after all the stuff she talked would be embarrassing she wouldn't even risk that possibility
Laurel is a *****, how ******* weak and lame. I still stan but the truth is the truth, that was weak af.
It was really disappointing. The thing is, it was smart to have her two biggest competitors battle it out, so Laurel should have just said that from 21 jump street. Talking all that talk she did only to not follow through definitely showed she was playing scared instead of smart.
Also, wouldn't Laurel's big hands/long fingers have helped her in this elimination? She could have moved those balls to the end faster than Cara.
Why was Kam okay with being one of the nominees? I find it odd that she'd risk herself like that after all that work she did last week to get a star.
Cara is from Lawrence/Methuen lmao which is so funny to me. But I am also from NH (what are the chances theres two of us here?!) I live near Salem, although there was a decade of my life that I lived in Mass and was a Lowell-life haha. My mother has a disdain for the Boston accent so I tend to notice it, especially when somebody forces it and thats what I get from Cara. At least CT lived in Charlestown for a few years so I cant say his isnt real lol.
I thought I was the only challenge fan in NH lol. I'm originally from PR and CT, but I've been in the seacoast for the past 5 years.
Is that really true about Cousin? Lmao. He came up to my area to teach an Orange Theory class (IIRC) and I was tempted to go meet him.
Also, wouldn't Laurel's big hands/long fingers have helped her in this elimination? She could have moved those balls to the end faster than Cara.
thats what I thought, wouldnt Laurel have the advantage with her arm span?But we also dont know how big the holes are, so maybe because she is taller, it wouldve been awkward to maneuver if it wasnt that deep?
Putting Cara and Kam against each other was a bad move for Nicole. She helped her opp get her star back, and Kam was gonna steal hers had she won. It was more ideal for her to throw in Veronica and Flora.

Well its nice to meet another local! <3 and yes, not many challenge fans up here. If so, they are casuals and when I start to talk about the challenge gossip, they dont know any of it, so thats why I come here lol.
and yes, its true about Cousin. Or I believe it to be so because thats what his mom told me lol. I used to work with her and she was sucha little cutie, she would wear his challenge jersey on casual fridays and brag about him being on the show. My boss has ran into Cara at the Rockingham mall and said she was so sweet, and was surprised at how petite she is in real life.

Eh, Cara herself literally said her crossfit training helped her there because she wasn't winded at all. That was absolutely an enduance related comp, even if it wasn't that intense.
I do think Cara also paced herself instead of going all out which is why it looked like she was going slow and Kam fast to start, but to not acknowledge that the person with more endurance training had an edge is a bit odd.
i am glad she is saying to not send hate to other players, but the first half really annoyed me
I mean, Cara's not wrong necessarily, but I also think it really more boils down to Kam feeling hurt after that Rachel vote. It didn't actually matter, Kam should have seen Cara's side more, sure -- but it doesn't negate Kam felt some type of way and then closed off emotions towards Cara. Which she could do because she had the house behind her. Imo Kam likely tries to work it out more with Cara if the house was less behind her and Leroy lbr.
This is the first season in a while I haven't disliked Cara basically the entire time, though there are still those annoying moments. But her continuing to not say anything really bad about Kam in confessionals, to still give her props and right amount of respect endeared me more to her than I thought it would. Gross but true lol.
Although overall this has been an embarassing season for Laurel, all the credit to her that she made an entire house think Cara was a bigger threat than herself lol. Crazy.
I get not targeting Nicole because she has no brains so easier to beat in a final but Kam should have really gotten everyone behind getting out Cara and Laurel.
Cara's persona is cocky and arrogant but she's obviously extremely insecure with no self-worth.
People disliked Cara when she was more outwardly insecure so that's not the reason people dislike her.
From what I have gathered people don't like Cara Maria because she likely has undiagnosed bipolar disorder. She becomes really negative and stank for no reason. Like in the davonne recaps she said her and Cara were cool then at the reunion in the elevator Cara was acting like she didn't want to talk and came across miserable/visibily annoyed. That's what people mean when they say she sucks the energy out of the room. She was like this on social media when she'd complain about friends posting annoying baby pictures and complaining about self check out at the grocery store lol. She just has a very negative mindset. A lot of people are like that, but they cover it with a dry sense of humor like I do.
Any fans that have met people from the show in real life have all said that Cara Maria is by far the nicest.
Ive already talked about this before, but where Cara is from in Mass doesn't really have a Boston accent (its a small city where half the population speaks Spanish) and is on the border of New Hampshire. She went to a Catholic high school. Her accent mustve been picked up in college, which was in a neighboring suburb of Boston.
as a New Englander, the whole Boston accent thing irks me. Boston and its burbs primarily are the only ones who have it; and then when someone moves from nowhere MA to nowhere NH, they put on a Boston accent to seem "hard", when they never lived in Boston a day in their life.
thank you for the insightful east coast history lesson. I don't know anything about yall and those irrelevant east coast states. I haven't heard the word in New Hampshire since the fifth grade. Not even joking
But when Leroy said "Goodluck Babe" and Cara said "Thanks Babe" with a smile on her face I was like she ate dat lmaooo.
I replayed that three times. Whew Cara can eat when she actually tries. Imagine she was going against Laurel and Nicole said good luck babe to Laurel and that's how Cara responds. Whew
Oh Kam did her thing despite not being in her usual shape. Commendable loss, some lapse in strategy before and after the elim but you win some, you lose some.

Random fact- caras "cousin" isnt her cousin, and hes not from Boston either lol. Their parents were/are best friends so they grew up together.
I would have loved to compete in this daily!
Can someone tell me what Leroy says at 38:46 in this latest episode because based on what I've read here and other places my ears apparently are not working?
Wow, Laurel talking all this shit all episode and it doesn't end up panning out. How lame! Laurel should have volunteered (I just finished noms)
Wtf is Adam wearing, lmao

Ive seen how shreks wife get down and im not bouta be going paragraph for paragraph for someone like that.
I don't think Laurel would've beaten Cara in that particular elimination because of how tall Laurel is so I understand Laurel mindset. Losing to Cara after all the stuff she talked would be embarrassing she wouldn't even risk that possibility
I would rather look like a punk than lose to my biggest opp

Tbf she spole truth, I may not be her biggest fan and don't stan her hut she spoke facts.
This season has not been a good look for Laurel!!!

You know who would have not been afraid of Cara
