The Challenge: Champs vs Stars | Season 3 Episode 1 - "Stairing Down the Competition"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people! Here's the brand new season of The Challenge: Champs vs Stars!
Ok, I have to start by saying that I was wrong. 
This season is starting to look really good and really crazy! It's just a bummer that basicaly the only good person in the Champs Team is CT... For the first time, I'm rooting for the Stars Team and, althought this time, they mixed the Teams (I'll get into that) it is pretty clear that the Champs vs Stars is still pretty strong so, the Teams are going to turn on each other and that's really what's going to make this season great!
So, the episode starts with the usual introducing to the players, mostly the Stars, since they're the 'new' ones and the ones that we might not know. From this, and from the first challenge, I gotta say that they look pretty strong and mainly the girls can really take down some of the Champs girls, which I'm all for! Can't wait to see Brooke Hogan go against Kailah and just smash her! 
Anyway, they are introducing themselves and everything that pretty soon The Miz arrives and starts explain the season and the first challenge. This first challenge looked really easy - just climbing some inflatable stairs - but the issue was, they were going to be covered in lube, what was going to make everything harder. They played it in two rounds and in the first round Tony was the first one, with Selite and Jozea not making it and adding some time penalty to their teams. In the second round CT was the first one to climb everything but, this time, everyone was able to make it. 
With this, that's when The Mizz tells them about mixing the teams and, because they were the first ones, Tony and CT were the ones to pick teams, which was nice in my opinion because I didn't want CT and Tony in the same team. The thing is, Tony's team looked better, to be honest, but I prefer CT so... I'm really torn here. Plus, like I said in the last post, I'm mostly here for Drake Bell and he's in Tony's team so... I don't know.
After that, they saw their scores again and Tony's team won, which lead them to choose the MVP, which would pick the LVP of their team and, with a plot twist, every week they could get a power move or something like that. This time they got Protect, and they could protect anyone from the other team from going into elemination. The other team just had to pick the LVP.
After the challenge, that's when they start talking about  'not caring' about their teams and still playing Champs vs Stars and that's when we see it in the nominations.
Tony's team choose him (Tony) as the MVP. CT's team choose Arion and LVP and Tony decides not to protect him. Then, he makes a fool of himself and almost throws himself in, full of himself, but then decides to go with Casper. So two Stars against each other. Their plan all along.
In the Elimination Casper wins, in a challenge like really easy, like they usually do in this spin off but then, another plot twist happens. The teams can save one person that lost. As in, they can only save someone once and that's it. CT's team chooses not to save Arion, although he's one of the best players. I just thing they were dumb with this move because they are clearly showing that they are still playing Champs vs Stars. They could usue this opportunity to save him, since he's not that bad, and not be so open about their game.
Anyway, the episode then doesn't end there. 
After the elimination, they go have dinner or something and that's they some argument happens between Selita and Kailah. Selita just doesn't take when someone curses around her and just left. Brooke go to see if Selita is okay and, of course, Kailah being Kailah, has to say some stupid ass coment and Brooke just doesn't take sh*t and just talks right back at her. Seriously, I just can't wait to see Kailah take a beat from Brooke! Kailah has been asking for it for so long! And this Stars Girls don't take any sh*t so, I can't wait to see where this is gonna go.
Okay, I guess that's it for this rant!
Overall, it was a good first episode and I just can't wait to see more of this drama. That's the best part of this season, I can tell.
Let me know what you thought about it and I'll see you next with a new The Flash rant!
Love,
Daniela.
