Spoiler Alert!
Hello everyone!
First part of the final! This episode was actually so dope! This season has been pretty good but, let's be honest - this final was so much better than all the other episodes of the season.
The thing with the remaining of the season is that it lacked "suspense" and, even though there isn't like major surprises in this ones, there's the excitement of tho is ahead and who's doing better so... Let's talk about that!
Right away TJ lets everyone know that this would be a final with multiple days and run in pairs, but with a twist - in each checkpoint the pairs had to change and they couldn't repeat so everyone had to run with everyone, which I liked. Oh, and the last team to get to checkpoint 2 would go home right away.
I can't spend much time on each checkpoint and each pair because there was a lot but to start they had to solve a puzzle to see who would be paired with who. The first two to finish were Alton and Aneesa, and that got me so excited! However, Alton sucked at canoeing and a lot of the other teams passed them. Still, they were not the last ones - Jisela and Derrick were. They weren't the last ones to finish the puzzle though, but Kellyanne and Big Easy passed them and so Jisela and Derrick were the ones to go home. After the whole thing with Jisela last episode, I wasn't so mad at it, I just wanted to see a bit more of Derrick.
Then, the second checkpoint was to build a bike and then ride it till the third checkpoint. There's not a lot I can say about that one just that Jonna was really smart to pick Yes for that part of the final.
At the end of that, they had to do another puzzle, but a math one now, and again I was so impressed with Yes because he barely looked at it and it was done.
From that one to checkpoint 4 it was walking/running and, for that portion I have to highlight Darrell who was paired with Ruthie and even carried her for part of that run. And then, the dreadful checkpoint - the one where they had to eat two Caroline Reaper peppers, solve a puzzle and run again to the next checkpoint, and that's when everyone starts crumbling (apart from Big Easy, he looked pretty fine after eating those peppers).
A lot of people got sick and the ones that looked the worst were Darrell (who's paired with Kellyanne) and Jemmye (who's paired with Mark) and, from what TJ said, if you quit, your partner leaves as well so... Let's see what happens in the next episode, because that's where this one ended. We do see in the preview though that Kellyanne is still in the game, so I assume nothing happens to Darrell, but we see Jemmye crying while TJ says something about quitters so... At least we do see Aneesa and Jonna and Alton so... There's a ton of people that makes it, now we just gotta see what happens to Jemmye and Mark.
Anyway, let me know what you thought of this episode, were you sad to see Jisela and Derrick leave? Who do you think will win? Tell me everything and I'll see you next week with more rants!
Love,
Daniela.
