The Challenge: All Stars | Season 2 Episode 10 - "It Takes Two"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Last episode of Season 2 of All Stars and I gotta go straight to the point - I'm really happy with how it all ended!

I started out this season not really liking a lot of people, and most of the people that I sort of liked left right in the beginning of the season. And with all of the King's Palace stuff, there wasn't much that grabbed me this season... But MJ and Jonna kind of changed my mind. Over the season, seeing them as people, as well as competitors and working together, I grew really found of them and I'm really happy that they won!

Some people said that this was all made for them to win, that it didn't make sense the whole Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Final and, I gotta say, it is indeed weird, but it has happened before and well... I just wanted them both to win so I can't complain. I'm just happy that two of the best people this season won and I'm really proud of Jonna because she almost did it last season and I really felt like this was her season and it really was! So yeah, I'm just happy with the outcome! But now, that I've told you how happy I am, let's get to the beginning of the episode and go through the whole Final.

This final had everything that I wanted, really. It started out right with a bang - not only them starting the final right after the elimination, but it also started with one of those sleep depriving challenges, which are some of my favourites and it has been a while since they have done one of those.

After that, we move to Phase 1 - they have to run, get to a Nucleous, where they have to pick between three paths aka three games. They do have to do all of them and only get to the next phase the Top 3 (aka the last team goes home). These three games were quite difficult - not only they were difficult on a physical level but also on a mental level because most of them had something to do with memory (one of them was actually a memory game). 

MJ and Jonna did get lucky in this Phase 1 because they only made it to the next level because Ayanna and Teck gave up. They were pretty tied (even though I think MJ and Jonna would have won anyways) but Ayanna just felt like she couldn't keep going so they were DQed and so Jonna/MJ, Darrell/Janelle and Nehemiah/Melinda moved to Phase 2.

Phase 2 started out, once again, with another of my favourite challenges - an eating one! Again, it has been a while since they have done one of those (even in the main series) so it was amazing to see it again. Then, after finishing eating some awful things (to be honest, it didn't look that bad) they had to run to a math problem, solve it and get the answer to a safe where they had their money.

And again, in the end, it was pretty tied between MJ/Jonna and Darrell/Janelle, and all because both teams didn't read the rules. But I guess Jonna just was faster to realize it and she and MJ opened the safe and then ran to the airplane where TJ was waiting for them! I do have to say that, in this last bit, I thought the teams could still try to outrun each other, but I guess not...

In the end, as I said, I can't complain! My favourite team won and I truly believe they deserved it - both of them! Yes, they didn't go to any elimination and maybe that was all made for them to win but, at least, you can say that they were a strong team and they deserved that win.

Anyway, the episode actually ends with a teaser with TJ for the next season so... I guess they're already filming? I don't know, I just know that I'm excited!

Now, let me know your thoughts on this final and if you liked the winners (if not, who did you want to win?) and I guess now it will take some time for me to post a new rant so... Until next post!

Love,
Daniela.
