The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 9 - "Baskets of Deplorables"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
So, here we are with a brand new The Challenge rant and a pretty interesting/funny/good one.
Once again, this wasn't like a 'full episode' (I don't know why I still have hopes that will happen because it seems like they've given up on that 'format') but it had a lot of things happening and not that much drama (just a little bit at the end, and involving Bananas, which I'm always up for, to be honest).
We start the episode with Marie and Kailah like really pissed at Kam for sending Marie into elimination but that disappeared like really quickly. I guess they just realized that they would stay friends no matter what and that there was no point on making an huge drama around them... Soon enough, they focused on Kailah trying to save her ass and going to talk to Bananas but just really messing it up after staying that basically Bananas was 4th on her list. That truly ended 'badly' because, in the Inquisition, Bananas, Natalie and Nelson went for Kailah, Nicole and Cara Maria. Cara Maria was a surprising one because not only she's kind of friends with Bananas and, therefore, with Natalie and also because she was on their Team and, actually, she should be in the Troika, so that was totally unfair to her. Of course she was only chosen because of Nelson, and because Nelson didn't want to put Kam in, which was what Natalie and Bananas wanted. But, oh well, they already had Kailah in so, they had to give up on someone.
Of course when it came to the 'talking' they basically said they weren't going to choose Cara so... 
And that was exactly what happened. Nelson did choose Cara Maria but both Bananas and Natalie went for Kailah so, Kailah was the one going to elimination against her friend Marie.
Like they were expecting, it was a puzzle elimination so they had their hopes up on Marie being able to win but I guess they were wrong because Kailah was the one to win in the end. This wasn't necessarily good because Kailah then won a Grenade.
After the elimination, they didn't show much and moved on pretty quickly to the challenge of that week, starting of by saying that Leroy was back, which is nice.
Then, Kailah had to choose a grenade, and that actually surprised me because she could either choose Cash, choose the Teams or put someone in the troika or put someone in the inquisition and I actually thought she was going to choose the last one but no, she chose the 'choosing the teams' grenade, which was also surprising to TJ, which is never a good sign.
Anyway, I have to say that, in the end, it was actually a smart move because her Team did win in the end and the other team, where Bananas was, lost which, obviously, I wasn't happy about.
Like in any other challenge, the winning team chose the Troika and the loosing team chose someone to go straight to elimination. As far as the Troika, they chose Kailah, Tony and Zach. Kailah because she was the one to choose the Teams and those two boys because they were the ones to score in the challenge, so it ws fair.
When it came to the loosing team, it was a toss up between Bananas and Devin. First, Bananas chose Devin, then Devin chose Bananas, obviously Nelson chose Bananas as well and, also pretty obvious, Leroy chose Devin. This was all pretty obvious until the girls had to choose. Cara Maria voted for Devin to go into elimination, which was kind of expected, since Banans and her have been pretty fine lately, Britini votes in Bananas and then that's when things get pretty surprising! Next, was Jemmye and she actualy voted for Devin to go in, saying that he had her back a couple of times, which is true and then, even more surprising was Kayleigh who also voted in Devin saying the same thing has Jemmye. This last one was even more surprising because she has been hooking up with Nelson and Nelson voted in Bananas so everyone thought she would go with Nelson's vote but... She didn't! I'm actually pretty happy about that but it was surprising nonetheless. And, in the end, Devin says he wants Bananas to go in against him which, to be honest, is just the dumbest thing ever! Does he really thing he can beat Bananas?!
After that, when they get back to the house, obviously Nelson is pretty upset that Kayleigh basically shat on him by voting in Devin, which pretty much sets the tone for the hooking up thing between Bananas and Kayleigh that we have seen in the previews. 
Then, Devin goes to Jemmye asking why she voted him in over Bananas. Bananas then appears and tells Devin to stop bullying girls and this starts a 'mini-fight' between both of them and ending with Devin hoping he would go against Devin to get his revenge.
Then, the preview was actually pretty interesting because it actually makes it look like Bananas might not go in against Devin. Instead, I actually think it might be Nelson. Just think about it... Kayleigh seems pretty upset at someone (who I think it's Nelson), Devin says something about someone making him look bad or something and then, the people in the Troika, they don't really like Nelson. Both Zach and Tony are kind of allied to Bananas and neither Tony or Kailah like Nelson so, there's a pretty big chance it will be Nelson to go against Devin.
I don't know about you but, in a way, I want it to be Nelson, because they way Bananas is save but, at the same time, I would love to see Bananas kick Devin's ass so, I don't know.
Let me know all your thoughts on all of this and I'll see you pretty soon with a new The Flash rant!
Love,
Daniela.
