American Horror Story: Apocalypse | Season 8 Episode 3 - "Forbidden Fruit"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
O-M-G! I have so much to talk to you about this episode of American Horror Story! This, right here, is the reason why I love this show so much and, just into episode 3 I can tell you that this season is, for sure, going to be on my TOP 3 favorite AHS seasons!
The episode was everything that I wanted and, like I said, I have so many thoughts and predictions so let's just jump right into it.
This week, the episode started rather oddly. I mean, we almost forget about all the events in the previous episode because the first things that we see is Michael interviewing everyone, getting to know their true selves and just trying to see who is evil (which, in the end, it's all that matters to him). It's pretty clear who he thinks is worth going to the Sanctuary (at least, in my opinion) - Mallory, Mr. Gallant and Dinah Stevens. I'm still on defense about Timothy and Emily, but I'll get into that later.
The interview gets particularly heated with Mallory (literally), when he keeps pushing her and she tells him that she doesn't know who she is and that she feels like someone else is inside her (hints for my prediction). Then, we get something quite amazing! She tries to leave and Michael keeps pushing her, ending in her making some flames shoot and Michael showing his true self to her (his demonic side, which I loved!).
After that, we get some resolution from the ending of last episode. We do find out that Ms. Mead is a robot and that she was basically made by the Cooperative.
While talking to Venable, the later confesses that she knows that she's not going to the Sanctuary and that's when they both decide the best thing to do is to just kill everyone.
Then, we move to something completely different and see that Brock is alive and has been looking for Coco and the place where she went. He sees a carriage pass by and then he decides to 'get a lift', arriving at the Outpost 3.
Venable and Ms. Mead decide to go see what's in the carriage and, in there, find a box with apples. That's when they decide to put their plan into action and put some venom in the apples, in order to kill everyone in a 'party' made just for that purpose.
Brock infiltrates Outpost 3 and attends Venable's party. Then, in a costume, he meats with Coco and, thinking that it's Langdon, she seduces him and takes him to her bedroom. There, Brock reveals himself to Coco and stabs her in the forehead.
Meanwhile, at the party, it comes the time to eat the apples and... everyone drops dead.
I have to say, I was surprised with this. I thought that Michael would appear or something and just ruin their plan but, he decided to ruin that later when Venable and Ms. Mead go to his bedroom and decide to shoot him. Of course this doesn't work and, instead, Michael makes Mead kill Venable and then, that's when we find out that Michael was the one to make her and that he had a 'prototype', making Mead 'look' like someone he meat in his childhood. This leads me to believe that his 'prototype' was Constance, that's what makes sense to me.
With basically everyone dead, that's when the witches come to action!
Cordelia Goode, Madison Montgomery and Myrtle Snow descend upon Outpost 3 and Cordelia revives three girls - Mallory, Dinah and Coco. And, in the very end, Madison says her iconic line to Mallory, and that's how the episode ends.
This was such a roller coaster and I have so many thoughts so let's get into them.
First we need to talk about Madison and her line. Besides being iconic from Scream Queens, it is also something that she said to Fiona and she came back to life in Coven. This makes me think that Fiona is 'inside' Mallory and that's why she felt like someone was inside her. Then, I was really confused on why she also revived Coco and Dinah but, after something thinking, my bet is that those girls are also witches from Coven in other bodies. I think that Dinah is, in fact, Misty and that Coco might be Nan. I say might because my next prediction is that they think she's Nan, that's why they revived her but, turns out, she isn't and she'll eventually die, for real. I also think this because we know that Lily Rabe is going to come back to play Misty so my bet is that she's going to be able to get to her real body but not Fiona, since Jessica Lange is just back for her role as Constance. This way, Billie Lourd will still be Mallory/Fiona. Oh, I guess I also need to had that, if you think about it, Dinah as always been the one to think the bright side of things and be grateful for stuff so that's why I say she's, in fact, Misty.
Now, to my next prediction.
There's no way all those people are dead for real, mostly Timothy and Emily. The stuff about their DNA is gonna come to action. They must be important to Michael for some reason so I think Michael is going to resurrect some of those people that died - Timothy, Emily and Mr. Gallant are my bets. He's going to take them to the Sanctuary - Murder House (yes, I still think Muder House is the Sanctuary), while the Witches are going to take Coco, Dinah and Mallory to their 'Coven House'. 
And, well, that is as far as my prediction goes. Of course I also think that some type of battle is going to happen, maybe the Witches will go to the Murder House to fight Michael... I don't know, but a battle is certain!
Okay, I guess that's it from me. What do you guys think of my predictions? Do you agree? Why or why not? Tell me everything and I'll see you in my next post!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 7 - "Big Little Lies"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!
Wow! What was this episode?! I haven't felt this surprised by the challenge in a long time!
I have so much to talk to you about this episode! It was full of twists and turns and, although it didn't have the end of the elimination (like I was expecting) it barely had any drama (like petty drama, I mean) and it was like really enjoyable! So, let's get onto it.
The episode actually started with the elimination that didn't show in the last episode and I thought that was going to be the mercenaries elimination but I was wrong. Nonetheless, it surprised because the Team with most votes were Tori and Derrick. You see, this is what happens when people decide to throw burn votes - they put in people that they didn't want to. Obviously, they were up for elimination and then they had to choose between the people that voted them in - Sylvia and Joss, Angela and Faith, Brad and Kyle. Of course they weren't going to choose Brad and Kyle so, out of the other two, they chose Sylvia and Joss, which I think was a good decision.
The actual elimination was good and a pretty good match, to be honest, but Sylvia and Joss won in the end and Derrick and Tori went to the Redemption House. Everyone was pretty shocked but the truth is, Derrick have been rubbish so, they kind of deserved it.
They didn't focus much on the Redemption House not anything else, to be honest. They showed a bit of Kam talking about her master plan (which I'll get into in a minute) and then they moved pretty quickly to the main challenge.
Once again, it was a good challenge but the outcome wasn't really what I wanted. First, Bananas' team didn't win and second, Tony and Bananas didn't win either and, in the end, as expected, Kam and Kayleigh won, and this is were Kam's master plan is put in action.
I have to give her props though, it was nice, it just didn't end the way she wanted to. Also, she used her plan mainly to save some teams and, if I was her, I would use it to send big names into elimination.
Anyway, so she basically made everyone believe that she was either going to send Kyle and Brad, or Sylvia and Joss but the truth was, she wasn't and she just wanted to protect them. The result, she basically made everyone vote in pairs like, burn votes exchanged like Bananas and Tony voted for Zach and Amanda, and Amanda and Zach voted for Bananas and Tony. And everyone else did the same which ended up with Kam and Kayleigh, with two votes, being able to vote in anyone they wanted.
In the elimination, we then discovered that they wanted to vote in Angela and Faith, which they did and they were going into elimination and they wanted them to go against Jozea and Da'Vonne. And it almost worked but then, the mercenaries showed up. Not only messing Kam's plan but also messing everything because they weren't there to send people home - this time, the mercenaries were there to replace the other team which means, if Ashley and Hunter (which were this week's mercenaries) win against Angela and Faith, they are going to stay in the game. 
Now, my only issue is, are Angela and Faith going to the Redemption House or are they really out of the game? Either way is fine by me, to be honest, I was just wondering.
So, this was an huge episode so I want to know all your thoughts! Did you like Kam's plan? Would you do the same and send in the rookies or send someone else? Let me know!
I guess I'll talk to you next week!
Love,
Daniela.

Supergirl | Season 3 Episode 8 - "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1"


Spoiler Alert!

Ok guys, prepare yourself, because I have a lot to talk about!
Hey everyone and welcome to the first part of the big DCTV crossover!
You have no idea how I excited I've been about this crossover! I mean, I'm always excited for this big crossovers so expect like tons of talking, starting out with a little critique.
This episode is supposed to be a Supergirl one, right? I know that, specially this crossover, isn't meant to have a proper series but there's still people that don't watch all four series so, to them, this is a Supergirl episode and, in my opinion, for a Supergirl episode, this had like basically no Supergirl characters, only Kara and Alex. Ok, we had James in the very beginning of the episode, but only that. I was expecting to see a lot more of Winn, Mon-El and J'onn. We still got to see them, that's right, but I wanted them to be part of the fighting and all and, mostly, I wanted to see two things - all the geek team (Felicity, Cisco and Winn) because Winn wasn't in the last big crossover, and I wanted to see Grant Gustin and Chris Wood act together. I know they did the Duet episode, but they barely interacted there, so I wanted more action. I think at least J'onn is still going to be part of the team but, I don't know.
Anyway so, I didn't see any previews before this so I had no idea what they were going to be up against. I supposed it was going to be something about something happen in Earth-X, since it is the name of the episode, and that's it. In that, I was right and, we find out that basically in Earth-X, a Nazi regime rule the planet where a Dark Arrow hunts the Americans loyalists.
They made like a 'big reveal' in the end of the episode about who was under the mask, both the Dark Arrow and the 'Dark Supergirl' but it was pretty obvious, right away, that it was Oliver and Kara. The only thing that I wasn't expecting, and I'm stepping a little ahead, was Harry being the Reverse Flash, that was surprising.
We also already knew that the episode was going to be about Barry and Iris' wedding and that was also what happened.
Actually, most of the episode was just getting ready for the wedding and all that stuff and it had quite some moments! I can't go deep in every one of them, but I have to mention some. First, Barry and Oliver's 'moment' while trying the suits was quite something! I always love to see them interact and, to be honest, they're the main reason why I watch/love this crossovers - I just love Oliver and Barry 'together'. I guess that's because they have such different personalities and that works so well! Seriously, I love it!
Then, I have to talk about the Sara and Alex thing. I just knew that was going to happen! I don't know... I just could see them getting along and since they're both lesbians (I mean, Sara is bi but yeah) I just had a feeling something was going to happen between them. And it was so funny!
And lastly, I have to talk about the 'not so good' Oliver proposal to Felicity. That made me sad! You know I'm an huge Olicity shipper and I even said in my last Arrow rant that I just wanted them to marry in this episode too so I really wanted Felicity to say yes. And, because of that, I feel like she's hidding something. I don't know what... Maybe she's married to someone else?! Is she married to Ray?! I mean, that's the only thing I can think about... Something tells me that we are going to find out soon so, let's see!
Oh, and just one last little thing - loved that Kara sang Barry's song! I mean, I would so much prefer Barry/Grant to sing it but still, I love that song and it was such a nice touch.
Of course then something had to happen and the Dark Arrow and Dark Supergirl invade Barry's wedding and they end up not marrying (which I kind of liked it, to be honest).
The Dark Arrow and 'his Team' have then to retreat after Supergirl injured Dark Supergirl and our team capturing Prometheus, which got me so excited! I really wanted this Prometheus to be Adrian/Josh Segarra but I kind of saw a spoiler earlier and I think it's Tommy so... That is kind of sad. Still, that was my theory last season so, does this count like I'm right?! 
And well, I guess that was it for this episode. This has barelly started to I expect really cool things in the next episodes!
The next one is going to be the Arrow one so I hope I get to see a few more Arrow characters like Diggle, Black Canary and Curtis. I mean, I've seen in the promo pictures that Dinah, Curtis and Rene are there so, I just want Diggle to be there too (although I don't think so).
So, expect a new rant really soon!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 16 - "Reunion"


Spoiler Alert!

Hey guys!
So, after asking on twitter, I've decided to rant about the reunion, as well as start ranting about the new challenge season - champs vs pros - which is coming right after this one.
To be honest, I don't know what to say about the reunion.
I'm going to try and cover as much as I can remember but, the truth is, what they did in this episode, was basically all I do in every rant, just talk about what happened in the show.
But, obviously, there was a few drama so I need to talk about that.
First of all, the drama started with Laurel, Nicole and Cara Maria. I already knew that Nicole and Laurel have been together all along but the actual drama was mostly between Cara Maria and Laurel. Apparently, Laurel is 'kind of jelous' of Cara Maria and the fact that Nicole was into her and that, after getting kicked off the show, Laurel didn't say anything to Cara, so that started the whole thing. Anyway, we got to find out that basically they're not friends anymore and that's it.
Next drama was between Cory/Kailah/Camila. Camila didn't have much to say in this, but apparently Kailah was a bit hurt by the fact, once again, Cory didn't tell her anything and 'didn't wait for her'. To be honest, I don't get why this people get so hurt over this shit, it's not like they where daiting or anything! I swear, this people really like to start drama.
Moving on, main drama of the 'episode', and probably of the season, and maybe forever - Camila and Amanda.
You can see where this is going. This two will never get along and I think you alread know by now who's side I'm in so, obviously I'm 'rooting' for my girl Camila and, they even said something about (I mean, Amand said) Camila talking shit about her on her social media... Well... So wrong! I have Camila's notifications on and she never once talked about Amanda so... Yeah...
And, to finish this up, there was a bit more drama involving Cory, but this time with Nelson. It was just about the whole thing that Nelson played both Cory and Shane. It wasn't a bit deal really, bit they got up and stuff and the producers where afraid they would start fighting, but they didn't so, it's all cool.
But, I got really surprise that, for once, Bananas wasn't involved in any drama! Wow! Of course he had to say what he things about every damn thing but none of the drama involved him so that's new! And I also have to say that I kind of missed him so, can't wait to watch this six-week new season.
Before I end, I just wanted to say that of course there was some nice moments in the show, like the 'awards' but you know, this things are made of the drama so... Those were the main topics.
That's it guys!
Right up next is coming the first rant of the new season so, stay tuned for that!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 15 - "The True Champions"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
Here I am with the last rant of this season's The Challenge.
There's still going to be the Reunion episode, but I don't if I should rant about it... If you want to, let me know. Either way, when it gets closer to the date, I might put up a poll on my twitter so keep an eye on that.
So, in this episode in finally get to find out who wins this season!
We start the episode right where the last one left off, with Camila and Cory arguing about the last puzzle of Day 2. Turns out, they really do left that puzzle incomplete, which might have added some penalty time to them. I don't really know because they didn't talk about that, but I suppose that's what happened.
Then, they had another time buster, which was a pretty easy one, in my opinion, which turns out to be CT and Ashlet to win. CT gave 5 minutes to Nelson and Ashley to Nicole, which worked out for me because you know I was rooting for Camila.
Day 3 started and, I already knew this because I saw in a preview but they had a first stop with some buckets challenge and, the next thing was to kayak 10 miles.... They showed it a bit quickly, I think, but it was good and CT and Nicole ended up in first place, Camila and Nelson in second and Cory and Ashley in 3rd.
By this time we already knew that Cory was going to be in 3rd place but everything else was still up in the air. And then, they still had an individual challenge where they had to swim (and bit more stuff that I don't know how to explain). Everyone was pretty good in that but still, Cory was for sure in 3rd place... And guess what?! He really was.
TJ started announcing the winners with the guys, starting with 3rd place - Cory. Then, it came up to only 2 minutes and 22 seconds between CT and Nelson but... CT won! Obviously I wanted CT to win out of all three, but my sister was the one really rooting for him, so she really liked that he finally won another challenge!
Then, it came to the girls. Nicole ended up in 3rd place, which was a bit schocking because she was pretty good and out of all three, she was the one that looked stronger and everything, but looks like strenght isn't th key.
And it came onto between Camila and Ashley, my favourite and one of my least favourites...
Well, it didn't turn out to be a win for me... Yap, that's right, Ashley won and, although I was kind of proud of her, mostly because she really was an Underdog and everyone was against her (including me) and she freaking won... Which really means you can do anything once you put your mind to it.
And that last scene with her talking with her mum was really cute. You could really see that she couldn't believe she won!
But, I need to stick up for my girl Camila and I need to say that she got 2nd place only because of Cory. She was pretty good in the first day and she was also pretty good in this last day. Only the second day, with Cory, was rubbish and I really feel that he slowed her down because, like she said, he already knew he was going to be 3rd so he didn't mind.
I seriously think that if she was with CT, for example, she would do better so... Yeah.
They already started filming Season 30 and there's rumors that she's going to be in it so, I'm going to be rooting for her (although she has been tweeting this past days so, that might mean she's already home...).
Anyway, hope you guys liked the rant and let me know if you wanna see a rant from the Reunion.
I'll see you guys tomorrow with a new Arrow rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 13 - "A River of Endless Light"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!
So I'm back with a new The Challenge rant, the second to last episode of this season!
I must say, this episode was a little 'overrated', for me...
Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of good moments in it but, once again, as you already know by now, I'm a fan of the show because of the challenges and not because of the drama or anything else, and there was a lot of other things in this episode and barely any challenge, so that was a bummer for me.
But, the beginning was quite something!
We started the episode right were the previous one left of - with the elimination between CT and Darrell.
I seriously didn't know who was going to win this... Until five minutes after they started it.
By the middle of it, it was pretty obvious that it was going to be CT to win this. And guess what? He won. He just had a better strategy and, quite honest, I think he was pretty smart and I'm happy that he won! I wasn't rooting for any of them, to be honest, but it was nice to see CT go to a final.
After the elimination that's when things start to go downhill.
They find out that next challenge is going to be the final and, to celebrate, they were moving to a resort to have some chill time and also party a little bit. Just to have a nice time before the final.
Then, we see some drama with Ashley, which I had already seen on a preview on MTV's youtube channel and after that, we see them go to that resort.
At the resort, they had a festival or something were they would send two flowers into the sea, one symbolizing their past and another one their future.
That's when we find out that in that exact same day was Diem's birthday.
I get it... And it was actually beautiful, CT and Camila talking about her and we, audience, seeing some clips of her in the challenge but... I don't want to sound bitchy or anything but... I think they spent too much time on that.
Like I said previously, I like the show because of the challenges, and when they focus on other things, that is such a bummer for me.
And not only that... Because they spent too much time on that, that meant that we didn't even see two minutes of the first part of the final and that also means in the next episode, because it is going to be the last one before the reunion, they are going to speed up everything.
They could've shown like the first day of the final in this episode and then get a bit more into the last two days in the last episode.
That's just my opinion.
Anyway, like I said, next episode is going to be the last one and I'm pretty excited about!
Oh, also, I forgot to mention, there was a plot twist in the end of this episode. Turns out, they won't be playing in Teams in the final. Instead they are going to play as individuals. But it is going to be a little bit like Free Agents, because for each day they will have to team up with someone (from any of the 'teams). So, it's going to be interesting! In this first day Camila teamed up with CT so, this is going to be good! I'm rooting for them, obviously!
And yeah, now that's it!
Let me know who are you rooting for and who do you actually think is going to win!
I'll see you next week with the last 'normal' episode!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 11 - "The Bloodbath"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello again guys!
I know I've been kind of MIA but I've been on holidays and I couldn't upload so, expect a lot of updates today.
Anyway, today I'm back with another The Challenge rant and oh my god! This was a crazy episode! I already expected an huge episode because this is called Bloodbath, but this was even bigger than what I was expecting.
So, this episode was mainly to ger rid of four underdogs! That's right, not only two, but four, so my predictions were right.
Unfortunatelly, it didn't go was I wanted it to go. I mean, guys wise, it was good, because Shane was the first one to complete the challenge, so that was good, and then Hunter was the one to go home so, that was also good. But sad part was the girls round...
Obviously, I was rooting for Jenna and, as you can imagine, she was the one to go home... I also like Nicole, but Jenna was my girl since the first challenge she was in and besides, she always went to the finals so I was hopping this would happen again. Unfortunatelly, it didn't and the worst part is that Amanda was the first one to complete the challenge and I hate her! I seriously hate her so... Didn't like that as well...
But, this didn't mean they were safe. No one was safe from the Fortress, which meant that Cory, Shane, Nelson, Amanda, Ashley and Nicole went to the fortress.
In the Fortress, they split it in two rounds. Ashley ends up winning the first round and then it's Nicole against Amanda and you already know by now who I was rooting for... Nicole, obviously! And I gotta say, it was pretty close! But, luckily, Nicole won in the end and Amanda went home! Yes! Thank god! I seriously hate her!
Then, comes the guys round and it was so unpredictable! Nelson freaking won the first round and it was so quick! I seriously wasn't expecting him to win that quickly! I mean, I was expecting him to win just because it was a strenght game and, to be honest, Nelson was the strongest out of the threee, but it was so quickly! Seriously, wasn't expecting it!
But then, we never really see the second round and, to be honest, I don't think we will see because, from what we've seen in the end of the episode, there's going to be an huge fight between Nelson and Cory because they had a plan to take out Shane and Cory thinks Nelson didn't do his part and, obviously, Shane being Shane, he makes it even worse so that he might have a chance because one of the other guys might be expelled. And that's how the episode ends, so we'll have to wait for the next episode to find out how it all ends. No matter what, I'm going to be rooting for Shane so...
And, besides that, there's also going to be another Champs elimination so... that's also going to be interesting. We'll see.
That's it for now guys. Let me know what you thought about this episode and who you are rooting for and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 10 - "Go Your Own Way"


Spoiler Alert!

Well, I guess I was wrong...
Hello guys and welcome back to a new The Challenge rant!
That's right guys, my favourite just lost. Yes, Bananas lost against Darrell.
I said in the end of my last The Challenge rant that Bananas might pull it off and end up winning and that I had faith in him and really thought he was going to win but... Not even close. He didn't get to put the ball inside that 'thing' and it touched the ground and yeah, Darrell ended up loosing. Guess I'll just going to be rooting for Camila from now on. Still, Bananas is the one who has win the most Challenges so... No biggie.
And, about Cara Maria and Laurel well... It was a pretty big win.. for Laurel. Once again, Cara Maria didn't even get to score so... She was just like Bananas. And how ironic was that this two rivals, Bananas and Cara Maria went home in the same day?! It was so Ironic.
I gotta say, from now on, the challenge is going to be a little 'off' for me because Bananas was the only one that I was really rooting for. I'm still rooting for Camila and I also want Jenna to get to the final but I don't feel like it's the same thing...
Anyway, getting back to the episode.
I must say that this episode was a little disappointing. First, Bananas loosing, then a lot of drama once again and last no elimination. That's right guys, no elimination this episode.
Yes, they still had a challenge and that's what I'm going to talk about now.
This Challenge was a pretty cool one and it was guy/girl pairs which was nice. Unfortunatelly, Camila and CT weren't that great, neither was Jenna. And, to top it all off, the Underdogs won. So, as you can see, this wasn't a great episode for me or for the people that I was rooting for.
And, like I said, there wasn't an underdog elimination. Instead, they had a party in the Oasis. 
I was just like CT and expecting something to happen and, guess what? Yes, something happened!
Me and my sister have been talking a lot about what they were going to do to make like the Champs and the Underdogs even, and how it all was going to happen because, afterall, we are already in episode 10 and usually there's only 13 episodes, the 13th being the reunion so... 
Turns out, next episode is going to be an Underdog bloodbath! TJ didn't say much about it but, from wha I've seen in the preview, they are going to have a challenge and I predict that there will just be one guy and one girl winning and all the others are going to elimination, because it showed three people in the elimination so... I think only one guy and one girl win the challenge and then, again, one guy and one girl win the elimination and, this way, the Champs and Underdogs are even. 
I got to be honest, I always thought that there was just going to be one guy and one girl in the Champs Team, but I guess that would be kind of unfair.
But I don't know, this are just my predictions. 
Let me know which are your predictions and I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 8 - "A Low Down Dirty Shane"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a new The Chalenge rant!
This week we had, thankfully, a 'normal' episode, with the challenge, the nominations and the eliminations. In my last The Challenge rant I said that I prefer so much more this episodes and all and I'm so glad this episode was another of those. I was kind of worried they would do something like they did two/three episodes ago when they focused too much on the 'drama' but they didn't.
So, this episode was an Underdogs episode because they would be the ones to have an elimination.
I'm not really liking this thing were it's Underdogs episode and then a Champs episode. I always feel like I enjoy the Champs 'episodes' more because they are my favourites but ok. At least, this episode had a lot of basically the only person that I like from the Underdogs - Jenna, but I'll get into that later.
Anyway, so the challenge in this episode was kind of a challenge similar to a final, where they have to run somewhere and then they have checkpoints. This time, the checkpoints were two of them where they had to eat a curry soup and then the last one would be a puzzle. I don't really think this challenge was that bad because I like curry so... But apparently, it was really bad because the Underdogs were awful at it. In the other hand, the Champs were amazing! Here we were able to see why the Champs are the Champs. They did amazing and, obviously, they one.
But, because it's an Underdogs elimination, there was a competition inside the 'competition'... And who won that competition were Nicole and Hunter. I liked that Nicole won because I kind of like her, and Hunter I was just ok... He isn't one that I really hate so... It was fine... I would prefer Shane to win, and he actually should have been the one to win because he did extremely well in the challenge but yeah...
So, Nicole and Hunter were safe and they also had to choose one guy and one girl for elimination. Nicole chose Nelson and Hunter chose Jenna, which I didn't like but I understand, they had to get rid of the 'good players'.
Then, on the nominations, the girls chose Dario to go against Nelso and the guys chose Sylvia, who basically nominated herself, to go against Jenna. I don't want to be mean but it was so obvious that Jenna would win. I mean, Sylvia did beat Kailah so... Anything is possible but yeah, in the elimination Jenna actually won and I was really happy about that! I'm telling you, Jenna is going to the final again, I call it! She always went to the final, since her first challenge so... She's going again! Anyway, and then from the guys, Nelson won... I don't have much to say about this because I didn't like either of the guys so... Any of them could go home.
And yeah, then we also had a little bit of a drama but it wasn't major, just Ashely and Amanda that can't take a joke... 
But we also saw a sneak peek for next week's video and, besides being a Champs episode, Camilanator is back! And, I know I said I didn't really like drama but, it's Camila and I love Camila so... Let's see what happens. And besides, the challenge looked really cool so, can't wait for that!
That's it guys! Hope you liked the rant and let me know what you thought about the episode!
I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 7 - "Achy Breaky Heart"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys! Back with a new The Challenge rant and back to the good old episodes!
That's right, this episode we were back to the 'normal' type of episodes, with a challenge, nominations and an elimination, which meant, a pretty damn good episode!
Thank god we are over with all the drama because I do not watch the show for that, I watch it for the challenges (and because of Bananas, to be honest). I do like and I do see the need to have a bit of drama in the show, but not have it as the main 'thing' in it, which happened in this episode and which left me really really happy.
Besides, this week's episode was a Champ episode, which meant that the first challenge was more important to the Champs and then there would a Champ elimination. 
I still think that the fact that they are going against each other isn't the best because what would make sense, since it's invasion of the champs, that they would go against the underdogs, but ok...
Anyway so, this week's first challenge was something pretty weird that I didn't get it at first but yeah, basically they had to spin in a thing and for each 'spin' they would win points.
Since it was a Champs elimination week, the guy and the girl that got more points would pick one girl and one guy to go into elimination, and the twist was that, this time, who won was safe so... Yeah, they keep changing the rules all the time, which is exciting but, sometimes, also unfair.
The Underdogs still had to compete in this first challenge, obviously, because they are also competing to win money for their 'Team Account'. Needless to say that this Underdogs weren't that good in this game and the Champs won, which was pretty cool. And then, for who got more points... Well, my Boy Bananas won! And it was pretty obvious that he was going to win because he volunteered to go a second time since there was more guy/girl pairs in the underdogs and someone from the champs had to go a second time... I don't know how the others let him do that because this second time Bananas got to improve his score and won against CT and Zach who where the ones that also got more points. Anyway, everyone knows Bananas and his way of playing the game so, I'm not surprised. I even find it funny. And then, for the girls, it was Laurel who won, which was pretty obvious... 
And, because they won, the chose, right away, a girl and a boy to go into elimination so Laurel chose Zach and Bananas, obviously, chose Cara Maria.
When they went for the nominations, the girl that had more votes was Ashely K, poor thing, and the guy was Darrell. I kind of understand why they chose them... The other guys/girls have been in more challenges recently so they have kind of a bond... I felt kind of bad for Ashely K because everyone thought she was the weakest link and, moving on to elimination, yes, she did loose but... I fet bad for her anyway, she wasn't that bad and go against Cara Maria isn't easy so...
Now, for the boys, it was pretty cool but Darrell won and I was pretty happy about that! I don't know much about Darrell but he seems like a nice guy and he's really good from what I've seen so far so, happy how it turned out! Let's see what happens from now on. To be honest, since I'm rooting for Bananas, I don't think he can beat neither CT or Darrell in an elimination so... I hope the elimination he's in is a good one, one in which he can win.
And yeah, that's basically it guys. Like I said, a much better episode with loads of Champs and less drama, all that I like.
Next week's episode is going to be an Underdogs elimination so, let's see what happens.
Until then, I'll see you in my next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 6 - "The Mile-High Club"


Spoiler Alert!

So, it's time for a new The Challenge rant and, unfortunately, I have to say the same thing that I said in my last the Challenge rant, it wasn't good... I would even say that it was worse than the last one.
You remember that last episode I didn't like it because they focused too much on the drama.
Well, they did the same in this episode.
And I would say it had even more drama than the previous one.
In this episode we only had the nominations and the elimination and, that's it!
I watch The Challenge because I like to see them compete, not have all that drama. If I wanted that, I would watch Big Brother or something... Not The Challenge. Ok, we also need a bit of drama but not focus more than 20 minutes on it... Drama should be a small part of the episode, not the main thing. Hopefully, next episode, will be like a 'normal one' with a challenge, the nominatons and the elimination and just a tiny bit of drama.
Anyway... Since we only had the nominations and elimination in this episode, let's talk about that...
So, Shane ended up being picked to face Tony and Kailah was picked to go against Sylvia and... The outcome was kind of predictable.
I have to say that I was pretty torn in both...
I'm kind of team Tony, just because I like Jenna and I don't really like any of the other members of the other Team, but I hate Kailah, so I was not rooting for her. But I'm not the biggest fan of Sylvia either so... I was kind of torn.
I have to say that I was kind of happy withthe outcome... Sylvia won. It was really predictable, to be honest. She has always been the weakest link so... It was kind of obvious she was going to win.
In the guys round, I never really liked Tony, but I've started to like him a little bit more, since he changed, but at the same time I also really like Shane so, once again, I was torn.
Shane ended up win, which was a tiny bit predictable as well, but not as much as Sylvia winning. 
Still, I was pretty happy with the outcome because I like Shane so...
And yeah, that was pretty much it...
Like I said, this episode didn't have much so I don't have much to talk about. Also, I don't care that much about the drama so... I'm not going to coment on it.
So, that's it guys.
Hope you liked this rant. I know it's a little bit shorters but yeah, you know the drill.
Let me know your thoughts about the episode and I'll see you in my next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 5 - "Underdog Eat Underdog World"


Spoiler Alert!

Back with a new The Challenge rant!
I gotta say, I had a pretty hard time finding a stream to watch the episode to be able to post the rant today, but I did (actually, it was my sister who found it, but yeah) so here I am with it!
This episode wasn't, in my opinion, as good as the previous one.
Once again, they focused too much on the drama and a lot less on the actual challenges, to the point that we only saw one challenge and, that was it. And, to had to that, moth Champs team (which is the team that I'm rooting for) lost the challenge so... I didn't really like it, but yeah, let's talk about what changed.
So, me and my sister kind of predicted what happened. The Underdogs and the Champs were split in to both those teams and are going to face each other on the challenges from now one, but the elimination changed. It's going to be one week an Underdogs eliminaton, and another week a Champs elimination, and so on and so one. Which means that it's not who wons the challenge who goes into the elimination.
In my opinion, this way isn't really fair, because the Champs are always going to be outnumbered. But yeah... Also, who wins the challenge wins money to their bank account, so this is basically like the Cuthroat season, in which each team won money to their bank account with each challenge that they win. And, in this challenge, who made the first score, in both the girls round and the guys round would choose, the girl, one guy, and the guy, one girl, to go in to elimination.
And, for this episode, was basically it, and that's why I didn't really enjoy this episode.
The rest of the episode was focused on all the drama between the Underdogs team who now have to choose another guy and girl for elimination, and also drama between all the couples that existed or that are forming right now, which are a few.
Also, we still don't know who else is going to elimination and didn't even get to see the actual elimination so... It was a week episode. The only thing good about it was the fact that we have the Champs back and I can't wait to see them actual kick some asses, because they were kind of weak in this challenge.
But, I must say, this was basically made on purpose so the Underdogs would look good. This game was made for, who had the most players, to win so... Since the Champs were outnumbered... They lost. The boys still had a big fight and I am actually happy about them although they didn't win, but the girls.. They were weak.
Anyway, this is my week's rant... Hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see you tomorrow with two new rants!
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 4 - "Four Tickets To Paradise"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys! Back with a new The Challenge rant.
If you follow me on twitter you know that yesterday, when the episode aired in the US, I couldn't watch it live because I just couldn't find a stream, which was really sad because this episode was really good!
From now on this are going to get way more exciting because The Champs are back!
Yes, that's right, Zach, Darrell, CT, Bananas, Ashley K., Cara Maria, Camila and Laurel are back, but they only appeared in the very last minutes of the episode, so we have a lot more other things to talk about.
So, this episode was the last one in the Shelter and, because of that, the last episode where people earned their tickets to the Oasis, that's why the episode is called "Four Tickets To Paradise".
In my last rant I predicted that Anthony and Sylvia were going home and... I got half right.
Shane did win the challenge so I got really happy with that, although he almost didn't win, which would be so unfair because he really was that good in the challenge. For the girls, Amanda won the challenge. You can basically feel my tone with that sentence. I really didn't want her to win because I just hate her but, to be honest, I kind of knew she wasn't going home because she's one of the people that bring more fights to the house/group and, now with the champs arriving, they needed someone to mess with Camila so... It was predictable.
After this, it was LaToya against Sylvia, and Anthony against Nelson, in the elimination. And the one that I got right was Nelson. Nelson did win the elimination, sending Anthony home but huge plot twist, Sylvia won the elimination! Sending LaToya home. That I wasn't really expecting!
I mean, they have talked so much shit about Sylvia in all this past episodes, but I really didn't see her as a strong competitor and I still don't but well, I guess she's stronger that I thought she was.
So, yeah, last places for the Oasis, which meant, we finally saw the actual Oasis this episode!
It was kind of funny to see everyone so happy knowing that the worst was yet to come, the Champs.
Like I said in the beginning, the Champs arrived right in the end of the episode, nonetheless, it was pricelless!
The Underdogs faces! Loved it!
Now I just wonder how everything is going to work. I think it's going to be Team against Team. Team Champs vs Team Underdogs in the challenges and then, for the eliminations, the winning Team chooses one person for the loosing Team and the loosing Team also chooses a person from their Team and those are the ones that go in to the elimination.
I don't know if this is really what's going to happen, but I think this makes sense.
Anyway, I just know that this next challenge is going to amazing and, seriously, I can't wait to see the Champs beat up the Underdogs. I just don't feel like the Underdogs are going to beat the Champs, some of them might be good, but not that good. But, that's just my opinion.
So, this are my thoughts about this episode and my predictions of what's going to happen next episode.
Let me know which are your thoughts about the episode and who are you rooting for. Which are your favourite competitors? I would love to know all of that.
I'll see you later with a new The Flash episode.
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 3 - "Helter Shelter"


Spoiler Alert!

A new episode of The Challenge aired last night so obviously I'm here to talk about it!
This episode, to me, seemed like really short! I know it wasn't, but it just went by very quickly!
Anyway, overall, I really liked this episode! It had pretty cool challenges, it had a good outcome (kind of) and they didn't focus too much on the drama. I know everyone likes to see fights and drama and all that jazz but sometimes it gets too much and they lost the purpose of the show, which is do challenges and win that money. I kind of think they lost themselves a bit in the last two episodes so it was nice to have a break in this one.
We don't have much of an introduction in this episode, just a few scenes of Ashley talking about/with Hunter and flirting and then we move on to the actual challenge.
This challenge had a few different rules then what we are used to. First, the ones that already have a spot in the Oasis don't have to compete, which leaves Tony, Nicole, Kailah and Dario out of this one.
The actual challenge I don't think it was that hard but a little frustrating, because they had to pair (a guy and a girl) and on a coconut shaped boat and get some 'bags' full of coconuts and then throw them in a basket just like you do in basketball (hope you get the idea, because it is really confusing to explain).
And, I guess I should've seen the beginning of the episode like a hint because Ashley and Hunter ended up winning.
Anyway, then comes the second twist. There isn't a losing team. That's right, it's the winning guy and the winning girl that choose who's going to elimination, so Ashely chooses a boy and Hunter chooses a girl. And then, the other two are chosen by the house, just like in the last episode, guys choose the girl and girls choose the guy.
Ashely ends up choosing Theo because Cory knew and wanted to go but wanted to go with the house vote, so he could choose who he's going against and, since Ashley and Cory have been together in a previous Challenge, she respected him and chose one of the two that he say was comfortable going against - Theo or Shane - Ashley ending up choosing Theo. Hunter chooses Jenna because she's friends with Kailah and he doesn't like Kailah. Kind of a lame excuse, to be honest but yeah, I would probably do the same so...
The house then chooses Cory, like he wanted to, and Anika, because she also said she wanted to go in.
Then, the elimination was actually pretty cool! They said it was the hardest elimination ever (which they always say, but yeah) but, to me, it seemed pretty easy, and I'm a girl that is afraid of everything.
They basically had to grab 5 balls and then jump of a cliff (like a really high one) and not drop any of the balls.
This to me seems easy because it's not strenght, it's not endurance it's just courage, and you just have to rely on yourself and anyone else.
Anyway so, the guys are first and Cory is the first one out of the guys. He does the elimination like really fast and yeah, really hard to beat.
Then Theo... He just quits. I think I don't need to say this but TJ gets really pissed (like he always is with quitters) and, to be honest, I don't really like how they treat quitters in the show. I mean, ok, you know what you're getting yourself into but there's some things that aren't just made for yourself, and you might be really good in hiking, and strenght and swimming and then they do something with insects or something like that and you just quit because you can't so, I'm not really a fan of the way they treat quitters because I think, if I was on the show, I would probably quit some challenge but, in this case, I don't get it. Even I said that I would do that challenge/elimination. I would sure as hell be terrified but I would totally do that!
Anyway, then the girls were both pretty good! Both of them got the 5 balls and it had to go to time, Jenna ending up winning!
It wasn't really a surprise for me because in previous for next episodes Jenna was there with Camila so... It wasn't a surprise, but it was nice anyway.
And yeah, next episode is going to be the final one before the Champs arrive and, in my opinion, I even think they arrive in next episode.
My predictions are that next episode won't have an elimination, just one challenge, and two girls and two boys win and then they all go to the Oasis. Then, in the next challenge the Champs appear and that's how the episode ends. Those are my predictions.
In terms of the four people that are going to the Oasis, I really wanted Shane to go there, the others I don't really care, to be honest. I really wanted Amanda to go home because I really hate her but I don't think she's going. My prediction is that the last four to go to the Oasis are Amanda, LaToya, Nelson and Shane, Anthony and Sylvia going home. Those are my predictions.
Let me know your predictions and I'll see you later with a new Arrow rant (because I owe you that one).
Love,
Daniela.

The Challenge: Invasion | Season 29 Episode 1 & 2 - "Gimmie Shelter" & "Skeletal Fracture"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and welcome to a brand new series here on the blog!
If you follow me on other social media you might know already that I've been super addicted to The Challenge and, since this past Tuesday a new season aired I thought "Why not start ranting about a new series on the blog?" so, that's what I'm here for.
In case you don't know what The Challenge is about it is basically about a group of people that have to do (mostly) physical challenges in order to get to the final and win either one of the three main prizes, 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
This season is a lot exciting for me because, like the name says, there's an Invasion, an Invasion of the Champs.
Basically this season most of the cast is Underdogs, people that have never won a challenge and that aren't really recognized for what they can do. 
But, in the middle of the season, the Champs are going to invade their 'house' and the Underdogs will have to 'fight' against the Champs.
I don't really know how that's gonna work because, until now, it's an individual game so I don't know if, when the Champs arrive, they are still going to compete as individuals or if they are going to compete as Teams like, the Champs Team against the Underdogs Team, but we'll see.
So, About this first two episodes...
There are a lot of changes from previews seasons... First, the cast isn't in a masion, but in a 'Shelter' and they will have to either win a challenge or win an elimination in order to get to the mansion, called the Oasis, but the catch is, they will only go to that Oasis when all the places to go to the masion are filled so, for now, they are staying in the Shelter.
Second, I don't know if they are going to change this but, for nominations, it's the guys who pick the girl and the girls who pick the guys.
And third, no one watches the elimination so, those are a lot of Changes.
Now, about the Cast.
Most of this people I already knew from previews seasons, such as Amanda, Cory, Dario and Jenna.
But I got to say, I'm all the way Team Champs because Bananas, duh! I also really like Camila, she's really inspirational but... I'm Team Bananas all the way so, no matter what happens in that game, I will always be Team Bananas.
I also like a few people in the Underdogs Team, not many, I must say, only Jenna, Nicole and Bruno, but since Bruno already went home... Just Jenna and Nicole...
I can tolerate some of them but most are just really annoying and I just can't wait for the Champs to arrive because they are way more exciting to watch and overall, way better!
Ok, now that we got this 'introductions', I have to talk about some of the things that happened in this episodes, like the actual Challenge, the 'fights' that happened and the elimination.
So, the first Challenge I thought it was actually pretty hard! And, if they were to do everything by themselves, it would take so much time! 
A lot of things happened in that Challenge but the thing that stood out to me the most was Ashley basically not caring about the other and, althought I do not like Ashley, I get it like, it is an individual game, it's every man for themselves so you do what you gotta do. I really appreciated the fact that Nelson helped Cory and all but, I wouldn't really mind if he didn't help him, it's the game.
Something else that was major in this episodes were Sylvia and the decision that she had to make. If it was me, I wouldn't choose a side and I would just pick someone else other than Tony or Theo and just say that I didn't want to pick sides.
But, if I really had to pick a side I would never do what she did. I would never betray my friends even thought that would mean I would have a target on my back. Besides, you have already seen in previews seasons that, if she wanted, she could try and put someone else in the 'spotlight' and make other people be the target so... That was a bad move on her part.
To finish everything, the elimination.
I have to say that I was rooting for Bruno and Marie, which just ended terribly wrong because both of them lost. I just don't really like Kailah or Tony and Bruno is half portuguese so, I was really rooting for him. It didn't work out though. Ultimately I'm Team Bananas so... I don't really care much about everyone else...
Anyway, I guess that's it. Let me know what you guys think about this whole season. I don't know if there's anyone that likes the show because I never really talked about it in here so, let me know everything. I would really like to know your opinions about the show, the season, the contestants, everything!
I'll see you in my next rant, which is probably going to be a Supernatural one.
Love,
Daniela.
