The Challenge: USA | Season 2 Episode 2 - "Blurred Battle Lines"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Back with a new The Challenge episode and thank god this ones was back to the usual format! Yes, we did have the elimination from last week's episode but we also had a full challenge and another elimination in this episode, so basically this was a double elimination episode (kind of).

So, where to start?! Well, I guess the first elimination was kind of anticlimatic because the vets sort of got what they wanted, however, Michele was the one to be picked by The Hopper so it was her against Ameerah. The game was a different one but kind of lame and, int he end, Ameerah went home. There was, however, a plot twist - TJ revealed that when you win an elimination, you can choose to switch teams and take someone else's spot (so a switch up) but Michele decided to stay in the Red Team.

Moving on to the week's challenge, it was a pretty fun one, above water, with them trying to get from one platform to the other and where a bunch of people failed. I do have to highligh some people such as Bananas (of course) - he showed why he's the biggest challenge legend/winner/vet - Desi was one of the few to get across and she not only did it once but she did it twice and they had to give Amanda some spotlight (even though I don't want to give her the attention because I  really dislike her). In the end, the Green Team won and that made for a huge plot twist this season. For once the rookies are teaming up and because they actually have an advantage in numbers over the Vets, they were able to go through with their plan. 

The Green Team went with Bananas and Tori for their picks (and it was actually pretty funny to see Wes trying to change his mind but being outvoted by everyone) and, somehow, everyone else was able to give Jonna a bunch of votes and so she was the one picked by The Hopper - that meant two vets against each other, which was exactly what they wanted. And although I sort of like Tori (I like her as a person, but as a competitor she gets on my nerves most of the time), I was rooting for Jonna. Unfortunately, Tori showed them why she's so feared (Jonna really had no chance) and she won, sending Jonna home... 

After winning Tori also decided to stay on the Blue Team so... So far nothing changed.. 

And that's basically it for this episode. There's no real big preview for this week because what we saw was a rundown of the whole season, but I'm liking where this is going with the rookies teaming up and trying to take down the vets - this will be make us see who really are strong vets and who isn't, which is also fun. I'm excited and I can't wait for the next episode (I still want Bananas to win tho... Team Bananas all the way!).

Let me know your thoughts on this season so far and who are you rooting for the most, and I'll talk to you very soon!

Love,
Daniela
