The Challenge: All Stars | Season 2 Episode 9 - "Break Stuff"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everybody!

It's that time again - The Challenge: All Stars! This episode follows almost the same result as the previous one. However, what I really wanted ended up happening and, even though the ideal situation didn't happen, the outcome of it all was good so... I'm happy with this episode!

Besides all that, we got some great challenges and great elimination so, let's talk about those!

This episode moved pretty quickly, which I'm not mad about. We saw a little bit of why everyone wanted to make it into the final in the beginning of the episode, but soon it moved to the daily challenge. In theory, this wasn't a hard challenge - untie some knocks, get some keys, and put a 'relic' in an altar - all on top of some moving trucks. The thing about this challenge though was that it was a timed event and they only had 5 minutes to untie those knots and, if they are anything like myself, it's hard and I would take ages to complete the challenge. Well, apparently, they aren't better than me, to be honest, because only one team completed it - the only team that we didn't want to win - Melinda and Nehemiah. Not only that meant that they would save Teck and Ayanna but also meant that everyone from the other alliance was nominated. I mean, that ended up happening because Brad and Jodi were disqualified. 

It was actually pretty funny to be honest, the reason why they were disqualified. Basically they didn't listen to the rules properly and Brad just Hulk shamashed all those boxes instead of untying the knots. Jodi didn't do much better either but she eventually realized that you were supposed to do that. Still, that meant that they were going straight into elimination and, with Nehemiah and Melinda winning, it was obvious that MJ/Jonna and Darrell/Janelle were nominated. And that's why they went through that bit really quickly.

Then, as for the actual decision, it was up to only Teck and Ayanna to decide and, obviously, and I totally agree with Darrell here, they made it a tie so it was up to Nehemiah and Melinda to make that decision. Thankfully, they went with the smarter choice and also the one that I wanted - Darrell and Janelle. Not only I'm rooting for MJ and Jonna but also, if you think about it, Darrell has won almost every season he has been in so it's way smarter to throw him into elimination, against another strong team, so you send, at least, one strong team home. Regardless, when it came to the actual elimination, I was rooting for Darrell and Janelle.

And, in terms of elimination, that was another really cool elimination, with them breaking stuff, sending it through two holes and, in the end, it was up to the weight. Also, really nice that each team couldn't see each other, which I think is better to just keep your head in the game and not worry about how the other team is doing.

Well, in the end, the difference wasn't big but Darrell and Janelle did end up winning and I'm really happy with that! It's what I said - not the ideal situation, with Nehemiah winning, but the end result was good with MJ and Jonna safe and Darrell winning the elimination.

To end it all, of course TJ had to drop a plot twist - the elimination started right then and there! No waiting a few days, nothing! Poor Darrell and Janelle that are exhausted... 

But that's it for this episode. Next one is the actual final and I guess you already know who I want to win so let me know who do you want to win and I'll see you in my next post!

Love,
Daniela
