Equalizers are great imo. I think that if production ever finds themselves with a match up where both people are the more or less the same size, then they should do a physical elimination. But other than that, they should utilize eliminations involving mental, endurance, and strategic problems. Eliminations shouldn't be catered to those who spend every living day pumping iron. I'm glad we've moved on from the Free Agent days. 

That is not fair. Some best part like Leroy is strenght and its unfair if he would not ever be able to use it. I am not talking about crazy Emily S crossfitting, just when someone is working out why they should be punished bc of it? 

I'd prefer a Seasons 2 elimination type of system where people get to pick between 4 different types of eliminations but they change so we dont have to see hall brawl 3 times in a season

Very on trend penguin, Bacchus. My review of the episode is the following:

That was a great first elimination. It was also so funny to me when Ashley was crying and said "I've done a lot of competing growing up and I never really lost" lol. It's unfortunate seeing strong teams go but always great to watch an upset.

The Sarah/Wes interaction seemed very cute and honest. Also "Why would you want  gold or silver when you can have bronze" had me dying. I'm impressed that Jenna uses the word antagonizing. Cheyenne is a terrible competitor. I give props to Johnny and Sarah for consistently kicking ***; hopefully this shames the other regulars into not being athletically terrible in future challenges, or at least production stops casting so lopsidedly. At this point them winning is so boring that we dont even get to see their power couple dinner/discussion. I found Wes and Devin funny during nomination. I feel so blessed to have had a challenge and two elims in one episode, how sad. I feel for Nany, she's always loyal to the wrong people but having your cousin not support you for her bf of a week must be terrible.

I've noticed that for the past two episodes Johnny has been complementing (or nice to) Nany. During the elimination he implied that KA and Jamie were dumb and insulted Wes but said nothing about Nany. This episode in his confessional/to Nicole at the night club he implied that she had wronged Nany. During the challenge he said she did a good job with the bag but Wes couldnt pull through.

On a sidenote I wish they'd make jerseys more elaborate so each team can have different ones (not just primary colors). 

Boy, they stay trying to keep Kenny out of the chalelnge spotlight. Baerely showed him in that special, only when they had to.  Wes completely made Johnny look like a ***** on national TV and that's probabyl why Johnny loves screweing him over on these shows so much now.

So you're saying that Leroy should get brute strength eliminations every time just because he's good at that and that's fair?

By that same logic if someone were to practice tangrams all day long, should they get tangram eliminations only?

The point is that the eliminations (and missions) should involve so much more than just brute strength so that it's not catered for one particular person but rather for a larger group of people.

exactly!

I'm sad there hasnt been anything pyshical this season. I usually like one or two eliminations like that with the rest being endurance, mental, and strategy.

No, but have there been season where ALL missions and elimination rounds are strenght? 

What is that larger group of people? There is always a underdog. Big guy can not do same things as short guy, stupid person can not do same things as smart one, endurance bunny can not do same things than smoker. There is always something unfair. 

There should be balance of everything, something for everyone and its unlucky if you do not get something you are good at but thats life. Strenght missions and elimination rounds should be part of it too

This special might be my favorite one ever. ******* Wes's monster truck.

yoooooo i'm dying hahahaha what the **** is he talking about

who is the other division one athlete?

Vince?

 Now here are my thoughts.

****! @ Cory/Ashley getting eliminated. I wanted them to win more than anyone else. Ashley had a good showing here and I can't wait to see her on another challenge. Same with Cory(I still believe that he's a solid competitor. Shit happens sometimes). And Kudos to Cory for taking that loss well. And good on Devin for shutting Dario the **** up.. and ******* with Vince too.

YAAASSSSS @ Wes/Nany getting rid of Nate/Christina. Wes still has it and he proved it. Nate/Thristbucket have been nothing but ******* useless this entire time. Good riddiance and NEVER RETURN.

 

I'd much rather have endurance mental physical and strategic ones than stupid crapshoots.  I'm not saying we only should have physical but we don't need unless crap likr blind soccer.

I kinda agree, but I did like the last two eliminations.

The last two were endurance/strength and strategic, respectively, imo

That's what I'm saying.

I don't see how blind soccer is useless...it's just another elimination.

The only eliminations that they should stop doing are the blindfold ones.  All of the other so-called "crapshoot" eliminations aren't really crapshoots, they just require a different set of skills to win.  I, for one, am glad to see people being rewarded for figuring things out on the fly.

I did like the last two, especially spun out

Oh and one more thing I forgot to say.

Nicole was shitty for not cheering for Nany. *****, that is your family and you've known forever and you just met Nate. She needs to get dragged for that shit.

This.  Certain eliminations are going to play to different strengths and that will always favor one competitor over another.  I don't see what's fun in seeing someone win because they got lucky.  I think it's more intriguing when an underdog team like Nate/Christina go in and defeat a team like Cory/Ashley which the the elimination was seemingly tailored to.

Nate and Christina were lame and dull as hell. I'm glad those sheep are gone too. 

Also team Devin! And Dario is a coward. Hopefully he sticks to his new real estate job because I don't want to see him on anymore challenges.

See if Wes said some of that shit to Vince it would be 100% justified. I don't like him, but at least he has a resume. Devin has sucked the entire time. Physically. Politically. All of it. 

But what has Vince done? Think the only reason he won the first mission was because of Jenna. I guess his "politics" of being related to Bananas helps but he's done nothing.

that mission was mostly due to the guys. vinny was the only one strong enough to pull his girl up in the 5th skull. the girls didnt have to do nearly as much work

also in the mini-final vinny was the one that gave them a huge headstart since he ate the food by himself

not sure i would call it "very" dominant, they beat wes and nany by one flag that bananas grabbed at the last possible second

and considering that wes/nany went first, they did extremely well

Exactly.  They were the guinea pig for the rest of the teams and I bet if Wes/Nany got to watch another team first they could have gotten a flag on one of the first two attempts they failed at.

Sarah was extremely annoying, whe she found out they were going to argentina. The whole thing and act was os fake to me.

She constantly has to hear herself talk and be the center of attention and hype herself up as the greatest of all time. No, girl. You may be the best girl on this challenge but it's  because the other girls are below average. She is starting to make Bananas look quiet lol you can tell he is sooooo annoyed with her antics

sarah is annoying but she is ONE of the greatest of all time 

this is the second time in challenge history that a big black guy has lost to a gay guy in physical elimination round. the firt was nick vs ryan. what is going on here?!

You really tried it.. That comment could've worked better if Nate wasn't hooking up with a female the entire season lmao
