The Challenge | Season 40 Episode 06 & 07 - "My Real Friends Era" & "Trust in Your Era"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm sorry I'm posting this so late and I actually missed last week's post so that's why this is a two in one (I almost did a three in one but I'm not sure when I'm going to watch the next episode so I'm just going to do it now).

These past two episodes were a ride! One, because I saw spoilers for both of them, and Two, because Era I is losing more and more members to the point that, right now, it's just Rachel and Derrick. Yes, I'm going straight to that - I'm sure all of you have seen the episodes already so I can just get to that. It was really hard for me to pick between Darrell and Kyland because you know I love Kyland and I truly think he might be the winner of this season, but after Tina loosing to Michele (and don't even get me started on that!) I was hoping for someone from Era I to stay. Well, that didn't happen. And worst, Michele stayed... Ugh! I was really hoping she would go home now... I'm so sick of her! She's not all of that, she's not the player she thinks she is and I'm actually started to get back to not liking Devin that much because of his relationship with Michele - it really is ruining him.

Anyway, now that I've talked about the big thing in the last episode, let's rewind a bit to episode 6 and well, if I'm being honest, I don't exactly remember much that happened in that episode. I only remember that Era IV won which was big because Jenny was on the line! I was super happy about that, unfortunately, she's a target once again for episode 8 and I'm really sick of that because we're on episode 8 and Kaycee hasn't been a target once! Oh, and Kaycee talking sh*t about Jenny in episode 6?! What the f*ck was that about?! Saying that she's not interesting and she only talks about her pets and food? Well, she's more interesting that Kaycee because most episodes I just forget that Kaycee is in the season... In terms of elimination, it ended up being Era I and Era III, so Rachel against Jonna and Cory against Brad and, this time, I was happy with the outcome! I'm always team Rachel and, as far as the guys go, I could do with either of them. I'm not particularly found of Brad but I could say the same for Cory so... It only hurt that Era I lost another player but, apart from that, Cory winning was fine.

As far as this episode goes (Episode 7), the highlights for me were definitely Tina - I can't believe I wasn't a fan of hers in All Stars and now I'm loving her. It's sad that she went home, even worst being sent home by Michele, but I have faith in Rachel and Derrick to take Era I to the final. As I said, since day one, my TOP to win were Horacio, Kyland and Derrick and two of those are still in the game so... Let's go Derrick and Rachel, I have faith in them! Also, Darrell finalling conquering his fear of heights! That was HUGE and I was so happy for him! And maybe that was the key for Era I to not get last place, which is also an achievement! 

Lastly, but certainly not least, we're getting a bit more heated with the target nominations - not everyone is self-nominating anymore and that is creating some chaos. Again, Cory was nominated over Devin, Bananas was p*ssed that once again Ryan wasn't nominated (but at least Derek was) and, the worst, Jenny was nominated again instead of Kaycee... Ugh! That is so annoying! I seriously hope some of these people align with eachother (the ones that are sort of on thei own) and turn on their team-mates, because it is really getting tiring (and I'm not even that big of a fan of Cory).

I have no idea how the next episode is going to go, I just have faith in Era I although we saw that Cory and Derrick will have a fight so... I'm scared of that but I'm looking forward to that.

Again, I'm sorry I took way too long with this review, I'm going to try to not do the same for the next episode (which is coming out tomorrow). I hope you still liked it and tell me what you think about this whole self-nominating situation and people not volunteering. I'll talk to you soon!

Love,
Daniela
