Something like rigging would have at least been implied through interviews, etc. Of course production certains favorite outcomes for good tv, drama, etc. but I can't imagine rigging.

I mean to say it could happen.  Bananas got lucky by being paired with an ex he actually gets along with, but I wouldn't even consider that rigging.

In an afterbuzz interview, Jonna and Mark were talking about how during timed challenges they take everyone's watches.  They both strongly implied that some people seem to get longer for a challenge/better times because of this

Just finished the episode haha johnny's face when they threw him in was like pure pain.

I saw Nia touching Jordan's **** so I guess that's how she gets DQed

Once again I'm hoping these are NOT nia leroy spoilers and are actually just assumptions that they go home. It would absolutely suck to be spoiled before the finale when I stayed away from them all season

do you see the word "spoiler" in this thread?????

So, The Challenge moves to 10pm EST starting next week. There is an aftershow next week

I know people want to use Bananas' final eliminations against CT/Adam and Mark/Robin as proof that he's earned his spot and wins. But I have a hard time really believing that, because of the rumors that Adam and Mark both threw those eliminations. And it makes sense when you see how mad Bananas got this time around. 

That being said, I'm glad someone finally grew some balls and turned on Bananas. It just betters their chance of winning. Johnny is built for finals and Nany is no slouch, either. 

I still don't think they earned it, though. The teams they took out were rookies and couldn't get along, giving Bananas and Nany even more of an upperhand. I also am not here for Bananas and Nany openly cheering for Wes' injury. At this point, no one knew if it was serious injury or not. 

I thought Johnny would have to said to Sarah :"ET TU SARAH!"

You guys have no idea how much it bothers me that Jay and Jenna might end up in the final. I bet they're nice people outside of the show but come on....if they make it til the end, they're getting last place no matter what. Even though some of you might not like Wes and Theresa or Nia/Leroy. Having 3 strong solid teams in the final makes for much better T.V. as opposed to "2 scrubs" no shade.

 

Yeah it does, but it doesn't make for much better money for Sarah and Jordan...

Nia is my homie, but one of my biggest pet peeves on reality competition shows, is when people think gameplay and strategy is a bad thing, and it should be about honor and integrity. It is A GAME, you can't be mad at someone for the logical choice that could make or break them winning the entire sesason. That honorable mentality is so 2000 like on the old Survivor seasons. I hate that so much. I hope she learns after this season that  this show isn't meant to be treated like real life.

It was interesting that despite how aesthetically ugly it looked Wes' round 2 was arguably more effective. Theresa actually met Nia towards the middle that round instead of Nia being pretty much through the Hall. I thought going low was the right strategy it was just executed badly and he banged himself up in the process.

It's not just Nia that needs to learn this. It's alot of people on this show that need to learn that.

Some people see it different & play it different..I agree hate that also BUT like sarah told her..this is her first go rounds with the challenge..and just like her , she has to learn not to take things personal..
But tbh when ever its money involved its gonna be drama & all that.

I don't think he knows that phrase, Brute.

I just feel like it's common sense to know that once you step into that houe, people are gonna cut anyone's throat to get the big  check. It shouldn't take a few seasons to realize that. 

Nia brags about wanting to face the best competition yet is livid having to go up against the best remaining team

maybe not, but  would have like to seen it,

Why is Bananas shocked? Most shocking in challenge history? What about what you did to Paula on the Island... Last minute change in the finale after promising her all season.... Thank Goodness Sarah!

He's a hypocrite. It's only the "worst betrayal in Challenge history" when it happens to him. When he's the one doing it to other people it's perfectly fine. 

Bet paula is laughing so hard right now after sarah's power move.

Same for when his name comes up early in the game for eliminations.

Nia was so salty on twitter last night! I don't know how to post screen shots, but she said that Sarah's man was a multi-milionaire so she didn't need the money, and then called her a *****.

I may be wrong but the whole point isn't being scared about going against the best remaining team. It's the fact that Sarah and Jordan are letting the rookies slide to have an easier time in the finals. Jordan and Sarah once said they want to compete against the best.  It's the inconsistency between what's being said and what's being done. Why would Leroy and Nia be scared of a team that they already beat this season?

 

sidenote: I, without a doubt, agree with Sarah play to win the money screw who you need to! However, I get why Nia was mad.

I LOVE that Sarah made that move!!!!! Good for her! I hate that Jordan didn't support her in that moment, he's such a ******* tool. Jordan's pride is so big, that he's honestly the weakest player out of their team. Anytime Bananas gets screwed is a good time in my eyes.... "uhhh Sarah!?!?" lmao Johnny karma's a *****.

Nia. You guys already know I can't stand the ***** and each episode she gets worse and worse. Glad Johnny called her out in the beginning, "why did it take you 2 and a half hours to beat a girl half your size?" Nia is not this amazing respected athelete she believes she is no matter how much her lame twitter followers pump her up and boost her ego. You didn't even compete the last challenge, be mad at yourself.

But back to Sarah, I'm so glad she made that move and honestly if any other team was in her position they would've done the same thing. Johnny Bananas himself knows damn well it was a smart move. I see they're definitely gonna tear her apart next episode, but so be it. She's in the finals, most likely is gonna win and she'll be the one who's the amazing respected athelete in the end. Go Sarah!

if you rewatch youll see that nia is about to end the hall in both rounds including the second. it just seems like they meet at the middle of the hall in the second because theresa carries her there

look at how close to the edge theresa is

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind of annoyed Jay/Jenna are going to the finals.. They did earn their spot by never coming in last, winning a challenge, and making a good move by throwing in Leroy/Nia and not Sarah/Jordan but still I don't want to see them compete in it. I rather have three strong teams than see them suck at it. Jenna doesn't even care and Jay just wants to be there so he can say he made it there. Neither one of them care about winning it so it sucks that were not even going to have the strongest teams from the season compete in it.

My thoughts on the episode:

Nia should've reached over & mushed Nany's face. Don't have to hit her, just confirm to her that she is not this "spitfire" she keeps trying to make herself. And her cheering while Pale was hurt? Yeah she needs a real physical humbling.

That being said, Nia did take the game too personal & she needed to stop and think about everything. Jay/Jenna being in the final will only help their team but I understand her anger.

Johnny is ******* trash. These girls can swallow ***, drink sweat, lick dirty floors & they will still have more cl*** & tact than this loser *** bummy son of a *****.

It's a shame Pale & Fail had to leave. They really played a perfect game & this Exile bullshit screwed all of it up. They deserved that spot in the final. That being said, Leroy & Nia kicked their *****.

Leroy is so STUPID. He will never win a challenge with the mentality he keeps going into these things with & if he is still playing 2nd fiddle to Johnny in any future challenges he doesn't need to win. He will be just like Sarah/Brad/CT/Robin/Aneesa on his 423847238084th challenge still looking for a win.

What the hell was this mission about? Was it supposed to be like Sa-Wing from BOTSexes 2? Nia REALLY needs to work on her upper body strength.

No surprise Jordan is dumb as hell. Sarah did the common sense move at this point in the game. Of course the hypocritical trashcan Johnny just can't fathom someone actually playing their own game. It's hilarious how he was saying Sarah's name lmaooo YES she threw you under the bus, idiot. You should've expected it & you would've done the same thing.

I really don't get why Nia is so mad at Sarah nor with this whole thing with both Nia & Jordan about competing. That is absolutely great when it's just regular sports/competition but **** all of that. It's too much money on the line.

THAT'S what this whole Nia/Jordan thing is about? Really?  -___-

Jay & Jenna don't get enough credit. Not that I think they're a strong team by any means, but Jenna got further on this challenge than the "I'm Such An Athlete" Nia. Last episode Jenna was 2nd to last person on the platform, plus they won the quiz challenge. Regardless how anyone feels about the way the challenges went down, a win is a win. If anyone's going to get some kind of due credit it should be Jenna. This episode is Deja Vu from last episode. Nia's the reason her team gets eliminated, now she's mad because she has to go against a strong team. And at the very same time she keeps preaching about wanting real competiton and facing the strongest team but she can't even complete or start a challenge. If you want to stop getting in eliminations, WIN CHALLENGES! This chick is absolutely crazy.
