The Challenge: USA | Season 2 Episode 12 & 13 - "Revenge Amongst the Ruins" & "The Treason for the Season"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here we are, once again, with me reviewing two episodes in one post. I swear I don't do this on purpose but so much has been happening and it's hard to know what to prioritise. Anyway, somehow, things end up working for me because, again, there's a connection between these two episodes again. But let's start with episode 12.

This was that episode where they go like a "mini final" and, although this one was more strategic, this still took them a long time and involved both strength, endurance and brains, and yes, they had some help, but the winners were Chris and Desi! For once Chris didn't have to worry about going into elimination and he could make his moves. They didn't make such big moves because they didn't want to stir the pot so much but still, they decided to nominate Josh and Michele. The intent was always to be a girls elimination, so Josh's nomination was just something to mess with him, because Fessy was certain Chris was going to nominate him, but no!

As far as the votes fo, nothing surprising - Cassidy got the majority of the votes and she went against Michele and, surprisingly, after everything, I was rooting for Cassidy, just because Michele has been pretty  shady and she's starting to be super annoying. Thankfully she was the one to go home so we got what we wanted for this episode.

Moving on to episode 13, this one was intense! Not only this is the last episode before the final, but there was a ton of drama and truly surprising momeents! I mean, not so surprising for me because, unfortunately, I came across some spoilers so I knew one fo the people that went into elimination. But rewinding a bit... You're wondering what's the connecting bit between the two episodes? Well, Chris winning! I was so happy he won again. It's amazing how Chris went from being so annoying to being my favourite to win the whole season because, yes, from winning the daily challenge he was in the final! So happy! Oh, and for the girls, Michaela won... Not the best but fine. The cool thing came after, in the nominations, with them picking Fessy and Cassidy. Poor Cassidy can't catch a break but Fessy being there, so cool! Unfortunately, it was a Hall Brawl and the possibility of Fessy loosing that was like 1%, which didn't look good for my boy Bananas who, in the end, was the one who got the most votes. Seriously, I don't know what these girls were thinking, I get the boys wanting to get rid of him but the girls?! You would rather be paired with Josh than with Bananas in the final?! Really?! Thank god not only I had seen spoilers but also Josh got one vote because yes - Josh went against Fessy! (Oh, and Cassidy went against Channelle, who was also the one to get the most votes).

Sadly, this season's Hall Brawl was kind of lame, with them having Shields and a puzzle in the end after getting through, which basically defeated the purpose of going through the Brawl... Anyway... The outcome wasn't the best with Channelle and Fessy winning but I don't know if the other way around would be better so... I'm just happy that Chris and Bananas are in the final and I'm rooting for either one of them to win (for the boys). As for the girls, I want Desi to win. I don't mind the other girls (I think Michaela is too cocky tho) but I like Desi the best and I want her to win. So let's  see...

Let me know in the comments what you thought of both these episodes - were you happy that Chris won twice? Who are you rooting for int he final? And I'll talk to you next week with the final!

Love,
Daniela.
