Spoiler Alert!
Hello!!
Finally I'm here with this rant. Yes, it took me a while. For some reason it was so difficult to find this episode online (as someone that is from Portugal, I don't have access to Paramount+). And, because of that, by the time I found an episode, I had already seen some spoilers and I already knew who won so, unfortunately, it wasn't a big surprise for me. Also, because of that, this rant won't be that long.
Overall, this episode wasn't as good as the previous one. But again, maybe that was because I already knew who was going to win. I did not know though that no one was quitting, which was something that they made us believe with the preview for this episode. That was nice though - I didn't want some people to quit or be eliminated because of other people.
As for the actual final part of the final, there was another eating challenge, which I love and I missed those on the "main show" so it's nice that they incorporated more of that on this version, there was also a sleeping challenge, as we saw on the preview and then the final portion was a marathon up the mountain - and that last bit was worth double the points, which was something that Aneesa said during the sleeping part of the final.
And because we're already talking about Aneesa, I think I should say that I was a bit disappointed that this wasn't her time to win. I know that already making into the final was huge, and because she wasn't the best on the checkpoints she knew she wasn't going to win so I bet she didn't try her hardest but still... I was happy that she made it to the final but I really thought this was her chance to win but... Yes was so good!
Yes, Yes was the winner of this season/show and I already knew that going into the episode. I wasn't mad at it though - I think he's a great competitor and he's great all-around. He knows about bikes and building things, he's great at math and puzzles, he has the endurance and the will power, he knows the techniques for running and going up a mountain and that was how he won! Through the most part of the marathon Darrell was ahead of Yes, but then Yes realized/knew that with little clothes on he would be faster and not heat up as quickly so he got rid of some layers and that's how he passed Darrell and, ultimately, won the whole thing. Truly, a great competitor! Yes, I was a bit sad that neither Darrel not Aneesa won, but I think with them it's more the "emotional" connection because I've seen them on The Challenge the longest but I did like most of the players in this season and I can't wait to see more of them.
But I guess that's it for this episode. There will be another rant next week because we still have the Reunion but, after that, it's going to be a while until we have a new The Challenge rant, as well as other rants (and next week there won't be a The Flash rant either) so, from now on, the blog won't be active that much but every time there's a new episode of the shows that I cover you know that I will be here a day or two after it airs to talk about it so keep an eye because dates change all the time.
Until then, let me know what you thought of this season/show overall. Did you like it better than the "normal season"? Or do you prefer the drama of the main show? Also tell me if you liked the winner and yeah... I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.
