The Challenge: All Stars | Season 3 Episode 1 - "An All Star is Born"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

That's right! The Challenge is back and in double dose because they released two episodes today. However, to make it easier for everyone, I'm going to make two separate posts - this being the first one.

This time around they had an actual "theme" for the cast - everyone in this season has been to a final. That's exciting but I'm afraid this may turn into the "normal" season of The Challenge. Not only they brought back a lot of younger players (they didn't have a ton of people to choose from) but they brought Wes back and, although that is exciting to "stir the pot" and mess with the game a little, it also breaks what The Challenge: All Stars has been so far. Not that this episode showed that, to be honest.

I found this episode pretty tamed and not really exciting. I'm not going to get into every single detail but the week's challenge was okay, but everyone played way too nice with eachother (and it wasn't a physical one), and the same happened in the elimination.

I guess the craziest thing that happened was Wes being the winner alongside Sylvia. Not only it's so annoying that Wes won but I was genuinely surprised that Sylvia won as well. I didn't even remember that she went to a final! Anyway... With that they were both save but I guess all the other four were as well because "The Authority" - composed by the first three places of both men and women (Wes, MJ, Yes, Sylvia, Veronica and Kellyanne) - were the ones to pick who was going into elimination against the bottom two (in this case Syrus and Cynthia). The only real advantage that the winners have is that they can sabotage any player in the next challenge, which is going to be interesting how that goes.

Fastforward to the elimination... The Authority picked Tyler and Tina, the ones that were last after the bottom two and things did pick up a bit, with Veronica being friends with Tina and still sending her into elimination, but that was pretty much it.

In both men and women's rounds they were too nice with eachother and, having in mind that the elimination was a "Crawl Brawl"... It was pretty underwhelming. In the end Tina won and Syrus won, which is a shame that Tyler went home because he always is the life of the party.

I guess the last interesting thing is that the winners of the elimination get a star and that will be good in the long run - as TJ said "the more stars you have, the better" so we'll see what that means.

There's still a lot of things to discover so let's hope the next episode picks up.

That's it from me for now. I'll see you in a bit with Episode 2!

Love,
Daniela
