Also those of you praising tori for the win, do you still give her that credit or no? Treading water for hours in the ocean is not a simple feat, but it is kinda silly to downplay Caras abilities because of it, IMO. If anything, I am kinda impressed given Caras history with swimming.

Yes. Because Cara has been doing this show for over a decade. The challenge and being an influencer is her only job. If Cara still can't swim by now that's on her. 

Cara can swim; she has swam in many challenges before. Cara is not a strong swimmer. There is a difference.

Also, you can't necessarily just train at something and be strong at it. There are people who take tennis lessons for years and are never better than mediocre players. There are people who run multiple times a week but it doesn't mean they can go and win races. There are kids who swim on swim teams every summer and never get better than average. The fact that Cara apparently tread water in the ocean for 3 hours is actually proof that she has worked at her comfortability in the water.

I can tread water for hours, I would have killed this.

No. They knew Cara is a new swimmer and said, "what can we do to guarantee Vicki makes the final" and then just threw them in the ocean lol.

This Sounds like a more boring version of the one from the island 

Were they at least next to each other? I would've tried to push my opponent under water the whole time...

I don't mind the elimination something new and interesting but simple. Here come the "rigged for Tori" posts like Cara has never been in water before. 

Surprised they didn't give Tori an elimination in the sand dunes given her affiliation with ISIS.

They really don't give a **** about the female eliminations huh. Between this and the ninja star throwing on all stars it's so clear 

Idk id rather that than Hall Brawl for the 73rd time 

Id like to see all the brolics play king of the dock lol

"Rigged for Tori" Cara has done 50 of these challenges so if she still can't improve on her swimming/water-based skills then that's her fault. #JustMyOpinion Smile

Like yall tell other challengers such as Cory/Leroy who flop every season that they need to improve on their mental skills, well cara needs to do the same but with water-based stuff. Smile

To me a bad elimination is a bad elimination, I don't care if it's new. This is endurance sure but the same way the Kellyanne nany mattress one is. 

This feels very reminiscent of the titanic to me.

They should've made them sit in tiny boats and throw water in the others to see who sinks the fastest.

That sounds like a fun elimination to me.

Welp yall can stop arguing as both cara and tori ended up flopping

or see who could get thrown overboard.

Cara ended up losing to Tori and then Tori ended up in last place AGAIN and even getting beat by Michele of all people in a final. Glad Rachel stopped Jenny from winning though!

I do think we are giving them too much credit for this elimination. They probably got lazy and didn't want to put effort in so they stuck them in the ocean lol

Doubt it. I'm sure permits were needed, boats in the area to watch for animals in the sea, lifeguards nearby, etc. They probably thought the visual of these two girls fighting for their spot in the final in the middle of the ocean would be cool. 

Fighting on a dock to push the other off wouldve been wayyy more entertaining to watch than them treading water

I mean, Cara did apparently tread for 3 hours and only failed because they went to not using their arms -- probably means she has been working on her swimming/water skills. 

But lbr, it's def suspect they flew them to a new country and gave them a random elim that was one of Cara's weaknesses. Don't get me wrong, the outcome was hilarious esp after the trolling, but this exact scenario is why people question and dislike production. 

None of it matters in the end because Cara would have likely gotten fourth too unless her partner was different which seems improbably as karma points seem to have impacted who picked who and I can't see Cara getting more points than Rachel.

Yup. Same for people that continuously do bad at puzzles and simple math. That's the game. Any skill can be improved upon.

That actually does sound like a funny and good elimination, and more reminiscent of classic eliminations.

They should've been on boats throwing dynamite and grenades at each other. Production loves an explosion and a good injury.

They should've seen whose period blood attracts the passion of a shark the quickest.

I mean, I've run in my life, but that doesn't mean I can outrun anyone I race. What kind of logic are you trying to use?

She has improved, so what is even your point? #Factsarefacts

If someone is weak at something they can improve, but that doesn't mean it will become a strength. We can't all be good at everything, no matter how much work we put into it. Y'all really are doing the most.

Cara hasn't even been that bad at swimming for a while now. She did fine on wotw2 I'm pretty sure had one of the fastest times for the women
