The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 2 - "The Young and the Wreckless"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
Here we are with a brand new The Challenge rant!
Although this episode had a lot of information, it was a little annoying for me, to be honest. Yes, they answered basically all the questions that I had (which I mentioned in my last post) but it dragged the 'drama' so much! Basically half of the episode was 'drama' (which wasn't even that much drama) and we just saw a tiny bit of the week's challenge. Well, and needless to say that we didn't even get to nominations nor elimination.
Anyway, let's talk about the good stuff.
Right in the beginning we saw something new - the people in the redemption house getting to 'spy' on the main house through the 'surveillance room', where they saw a tiny bit of what was going on on the main house. Of course they had to show them what happened between Melissa and Kailah but they didn't get any answers. For a minute, I actually thought they were going to be the ones to decide if Kam and Kayleigh were going home or not (since we already knew that Kailah and Melissa were). 
Well, that didn't happen but my other prediction did - Kam and Kayleigh got paired up. I thought this was going to happen (either this or they were going to the Redemption House) so it wasn't really a surprise, but it was nice though, since they didn't have anything to do with what happened between Melissa and Kailah. 
After that, like I said before, they showed a lot of things that were kind of boring in my opinion - some 'drama' between Chuck and Britini, more stuff about Cara, Kyle and Paulie, Bananas and Natalie talking about what happened between them and so on. None of those things mattered much to me. 
When they did move on to the actual challenge, we found out the other thing that everyone was curious about - Bananas' partner. I have to say, I saw a bit of spoilers so it wasn't a surprise to me but, even if I didn't see any spoilers, it wasn't going to be a surprise anyway because it was exactly the person I thought it would be - Tony. That's right, Bananas and Tony are a team and I'm so sure they were going to be freaking amazing! Well, they already were!
Like I suspected, they were going to be a strong team and in this first challenge they got tied with Brad and Kyle. In the end, because of time, Kyle and Brad won but I'm still proud of Bananas and Tony and I'm pretty sure they are going to go far in this season. I'm sure the 'drama' between them isn't going to last long (just like with Bananas and Sarah all those seasons ago).
And, that's where the episode ended. No nominations and no elimination.
We did see a sneak peek of the next episode and it looks like everyone is only going to pick one team to go into elimination and them it's going to be random. At least, this time because I think they are going to change things up in the next episodes. I don't know, but I have a feeling.
So, let me know your thoughts on this episode and, just letting you know, next rant will be up a little later because I'm going on holidays and I'm only going to be able to post the rant probably on the last day of July (either that or August 1st).
Anyway, hope you liked it and I'll see you on my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 1 - "Six Feet Under"


Spoiler Alert! 

Hello guys!
We are finally back with the usual The Challenge episodes and I have to say, I'm so excited about this season!
From the looks of it, this is going to be the best one so far, full of twists and turns, a lot of drama and really good challenges. The overall cast looks good and, although this first episode didn't  have a lot of physical challenges, it was really nice and so much happened already!
First of all, we got to meet some of the cast - my fave Bananas is among them so I'm already happy. Apart from him, Cara Maria, CT, Jenna, Zach and all those ones that we like the most are all in this season. Of course, there's also people like Amanda, who I hate so much, but I'm just trying to forget about her and all the other people that I just don't like.
Anyway, after getting to know the cast, they moved on to a challenge to, not only find out who their partners would be, since this season is all about being paired with the person you hate the most, as well as finding who's the last two teams that are going home straight away.
Unfortunately, Zach was paired with Amanda and they were the winners of the challenge. Also sadly, one of the teams that lost was Jenna's, who was paired with Jemmye. And, along with Jenna and Jemmye, also Britini and Chuck were the last ones to finish the challenge, therefore, the ones to go home. But that's not all. Because Amanda and Zach were the winning team, they had to choose another team to go home, which the chose Jozea and the girl who he was paired with, which I don't know and can't really remember the name of.
Moving from this, the rest of the episode was just drama. Lots of people hooking up with each other, dramas from the past and a kind of cliffhanger - turns out Bananas doesn't have a pair (yet) so we are still waiting for that. In my opinion, it's going to be Tony but, you never know. I actually would like to see them working together because I believe they would be such a good team and, to be honest, if they do get paired up, they are for sure going to be in the final. I really believe that.
Well, like I said, the rest of the episode was focused on drama and the biggest of all was the fight between Melissa and Kailah. I freaking hate Kailah, almost as much as I hate Amanda so I'm not even mad about it, nor with the resolution because, as you can imagine, the producers had to do something and yes, both of them were eliminated. The thing is, this is a pairs game so what's going to happen to they're team mates Kaileigh and Kam? Well, that's what we are going to find out in the next episode.
To be honest, I don't think they are going home - instead, they are going to the Redemption House because yes, there's a Redemption House again, in which all the other three teams that were sent home are right now which means, Jenna is still in the game, which I like.
Ok guys, that's it. This is what happened in this first episode. Not much physical stuff but, from the preview of the rest of the season, it looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride so, I can't wait!
Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you guys next week with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.

Shadowhunters | No More Rants


Hello guys!
So, I told you I was going to make an announcement and here it is.
You already know what it is from the title so yes, I'm not doing Shadowhunters' rants anymore.
This decision came just in time, actually. I decided I was going to stop doing Shadowhunters' rants because I wasn't really doing well in Uni and, truth be told, Shadowhunters is my least favourite series from the ones that I rant about so when it came to deciding which one to 'give up' I had to go with Shadowhunters. And just as I made that decision, like a week or something after, it was announced that Shadowhunters was cancelled. I also found out that Will Tudor is not playing Sebastian/Jonathan anymore on the second part of the season so I was also really mad at the show for that so, everything happened at once and yeah, I reached this decision.
It just pains me because it was the only show that I started ranting since the very first season but, at the same time, I'm not even mad that it got cancelled and I'm not even trying to get it 'saved'.
Truth is, and I've said this many times on the blog, Shadowhunters isn't a good show. I am actually surprised it lasted this long! And yes, season 3 was somewhat interesting and for sure better than the first season but, overall, it's a bad show and I really don't think they're getting saved.
Most of the actors already have something else (Isaiah is playing Adult Mike on IT Chapter 2 and I'm so excited about that!) so yeah, this is really the end of Shadowhunters.
There's still going to be more 12 episodes that are going to air next year (if I'm not mistaken) but I'm not ranting about those.
This is my last post about Shadowhunters.
I'm sorry if I'm letting you down, but I really had to.
Ok, this is it guys. Next week there's a new The Challenge episode, the new season so... Posts will be up more often!
Until then!
Love,
Daniela.
