The Challenge: Total Madness | Season 35 Episode 7 - "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
Back with a new The Challenge rant and, after this episode, I guess we're back to the usual programming (challenge, nominations, elimination). Needless to say though, that this episode dragged a lot!
As we were expecting, this week episode focused only on the girls elimination (as well as the nominations). I figured it would be either that or we wouldn't get back to the 'normal' type of the episodes. In a way, I'm happy they chose to 'waste' this episode on getting things back to normal. Well, at least I hope they do get everything back to normal. But as for this episode, it was filled with necessary drama. However, it did have an unexpected ending which not only I was happy about, but made up for the overall boring episode. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of heated moments in this episode, but personally I don't watch The Challenge (only) for the drama, I mainly watch it for the challenges so have a drama centered episode wasn't really my taste. I enjoyed it in the end though...
So, the Tribunal had actually a good plan. Have Tori be the house nomination and then pick 'easy' people to beat in case neither Jenna nor Nany wanted to go in. For this the Tribunal chose Kailah, because she's friends with Jenna and Nany and might want to give her a chance to win a red skull, Dee because she rubbed Jordan the wrong way and she already has a red skull, and Big T which was only by default, to be honest. All of them said they love Big T and, to be honest, I don't think they ever thought of send her in. Jenna and Nany still had the chance to go in and both of them looked 'easy' to Tori (I guess). Everyone kept betting on Jenna, because she kind of wants to leave the house and we even see another call to Zach where he basically gives her an ultimatum. Initially I don't think Jenna intended to go in but that call really triggered her and yes, she took the chance and volunteered to go against Tori. I must say - I was kind of scared. Tori is a good competitor and, although I know Jenna is good, she isn't as strong physically as Tori (I think) but, I had faith her (unlike most people in the house). Well, I guess that beat them in the ass, huh?! 
That's right, in the end Jenna beat Tori and I'm so happy for her! It's interesting because I watch The Challenge with my sister and Jenna is my girl and Tori is her girl so we were basically rooting for each one. (I just thought I would let you know that). Anyway, now I just need Bananas to get his red skull and I'll have my two favorites in the final (I mean, if they don't get put into elimination again). To be honest, I don't think they'll put Jenna in again. There's bigger threats (in their opinion) and, for the most part, she flies under the radar. As for Johnny... Well, if he does get a red skull, I'm pretty sure he will be targeted again.
Well, that was the 'game' part of the episode. But as I said, there was a lot of drama, the main one revolving around Nany. I just have to say that she was clearly drunk. She starts a fight with Aneesa and she even talks rude towards Jenna and... She was drunk. It's not really an excuse but someone should keep her from not drinking that much. I guess she's a bit like Tony - Nany and him just can't drink otherwise they'll start a fight and make stupid mistakes.
But yeah, that was pretty much it. There was also a thing with Nelson which was so stupid and he was not drunk so he doesn't really have an excuse. Anyway, it's just way too much drama.
As I said, I hope the next episode goes back to normal and... The preview doesn't give much away, besides a fight between Kyle and someone that I can't really remember (I'm sorry). Oh, there's a double elimination, so that's going to be fun! I'm pretty sure the Final is pretty close so let's see who makes it there.
In the meantime, let me know what you thought of the episode. Do you like this format or do you want to get back to challenge - nominations - elimination? Were you rooting for Jenna or Tori in the end? Would you forgive Nany like Aneesa did? Tell me everything and I'll see you next week with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.
