The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 22 - "Final Reckoning Reunion, Part 2"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

So, turns out I was able to post the rants today!

We are starting with the The Challenge rant, which is actually the last episode of the season (and maybe the last one for a while. I'll get into more detail later). It being the last episode of the season doesn't add much to it, to be honest because, just like the first part of the reunion, they made it look way bigger than what it really was, but I'm here to talk to you all about it.

The episode actually started with the last thing from the previous episode, which was the drama between Bananas and Devin. I'm so over this, to be honest! Like, I'm not being bias but Devin is so overrating (just like everybody else) and Bananas didn't really do anything wrong! Okay, maybe he shouldn't have touched on the subject of Devin's dad but, if we're being objective, he didn't really say anything bad about him or his death. Plus, can you blame him?! After Devin being after him for hours through the whole house... People have a breaking point! And just like Bananas said, maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to say, but he apologized and even Shane defended Bananas so... Devin really wasn't the right one in this. Oh, and of course, they had to make this even bigger by just showing all the people that left the 'stage' because they were against Bananas - those people being Ashley, Amanda, Cory... You see where this goes?! Anyway, this people are just really over dramatic and Bananas didn't do anything wrong. End of subject.

Moving one to some other things that they talked in this episode. They had to wrap up a lot of things, to be honest. They mentioned the thing between Brad and Britini and we saw, once again, how crazy Britini is, there was this whole issue with some drama between Angela and Kam and we also saw some stuff about Paulie and Cara Maria and them being on that show where they choose tattoos for each other (I don't know if you know it but it's the American version of Tattoo of Us, or something like that).

Nice things in this episode... They kind of praised Kam for the brilliant plan that she orchestrated which, being fair, is quite something so I also applaud her for that (even though I'm not her biggest fan) and they also gave an award to Sylvia for her 'performance' in Kam's master plan so... Those were the nice things. Oh, I almost forgot, there was a special 'announcement' about a special The Challenge that is going to air in the next two weeks which is about CT's wedding. It was super cute to see that he married but, as we saw in the preview, there was some drama surrounding this wedding so... Let's see how everything happened. And if you guys want me to review those two special episodes just let me know in the comments or through twitter (@danixinhahhh). I'm not planning on doing it but if you guys want to I'll be more than happy to do so.

Anyway, back to the episode.

There were two extra things that were kind of major in the episode, one of them being the whole thing between Zach and Amanda. Of course they had to show what they did and of course Zach and Amanda aren't friends and I totally get it. As I've said many times, I hate Amanda and I totally agree with Zach - she's just evil and annoying and seriously so immature! She acts like she's the queen of everything but... She just talks sh*t and all she does is bash other people. I truly dislike her. 

And so, supposedly, Amanda was making a big announcement or dropping a 'bomb' but... she regret it and she didn't. I mean, I can't really blame her. At least, she came to her senses and, if it wasn't the right thing to do, you just shouldn't do it but... C'mon! They have been teasing this for too long and then... Nothing. That's why I think this reunion was so boring.

At least, we ended in a happy note with Tony proposing to his girlfriend and her saying yes. We all knew this (at least, I did) but it was still beautiful and it was nice to end the episode like that. Also, it was pretty funny to see Bananas with his Bananas Cam in their faces, it was hilarious.

So, let me know what you thought of the episode, who do you still stan, who do you ended up disliking and I would also appreciate if you tell me if you want that review from the special about CT's wedding.

I'll see you guys in a minute with the new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 21 - "Final Reckoning Reunion, Part 1"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

So, here we are to spill all the beans about the latest season of The Challenge (or not).

I have to say that I was quite excited about this reunion. I don't normally care much for the reunion episodes, I just think they are a bit boring and don't really offer much, but this time there was so much drama and things going on between all the contestants that I was really curious how things were between all of them. Well, in reality, this was more of the same. Truth is this reunion (at least, this first part) just replayed some of the most dramatic events and didn't offer much more, but let's see what can we talk about.

The first thing mentioned in this episode was Ashley and Hunter winning and Ashley keeping the money to herself. This was expected because, although this wasn't something new, nor it wasn't expected, it's something that doesn't happen that often so, we needed to talk about this.

We learned that Hunter has already 'forgiven' Ashley and that Bananas' can't really blame her for taking the money. Apart from that, everyone seems to be pretty 'pissed' with her and I don't know if many of them are still friends with her (Amanda sure is, from what we've seen).

Then, we saw some minor dramas such as the Lavender Ladies thing, the thing between Shane and Da'Vonne, Natalie and Kayleigh's fight... More of the same.

Next topic was also more of the same - Kyle and his hook ups - but with this subject it looks like we reached an ending, with Cara Maria already over him, Kyle being 'okay' and clearly over all the girls that he slept with as well as the other girls being over him.

They also talked about the issue between Cory and Tony, which sent Cory and Devin home. It looks like this issue is also settled down though. The issue that isn't is the one between Devin and Bananas, and that's how the episode ends. We see Devin going at Bananas (as he usually does) and we can clearly see here the age difference and the maturity, because Devin keeps going at him and Bananas' just let's him talk and just answers him when Devin's rant is over. Anyway, in the very end of the episode Devin really goes to Bananas' to fight him or something and that's how the episode ends.

As you can see, this episode didn't add much to the whole 'story'. However, I do recommend you guys check out AfterBuzzTV's After Show of episode 20 where they had Marie as a guest and who spilled out a lot more stuff than they did in this reunion so, check it out!

Anyway, let me know all your thoughts and I'll see you later with the The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 19 - "The Walking Dead"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

So, today, I'm bringing you first the The Challenge rant! I know I said in my last rant that today I was going to post the The Flash one and I am. It's coming right after this one!

I have quite a lot to say about this episode of The Challenge! Not only this was the last episode before the final but it was also packed with challenges and eliminations and stuff and, for once, there wasn't any drama, which is huge (and which also made the episode pass by really quickly)! So, past that, let's get into it!

The episode started right away with a new challenge - the electric shocks challenge that we saw in the preview. What we didn't know about this challenge was that it was also a trivia challenge, which is my favorite! But unfortunately, because this took way more time than the previous trivia, we didn't get to see all the questions, which is really a bummer because I love to try and answer to all those questions. Anyway, the outcome of that was, once again, Sylvia and Joss winning.

Post that, we moved pretty quickly to nominations and, this time, we didn't see anyone's vote.

And, just like that, we are in Armageddon for another elimination.

I was really curious because I had no idea how this was going to go. It looked like no one was really targeting Bananas and Tony anymore but, at the same time, there was always that possibility... It was so confusing. But then, TJ said that only one team got the most votes and... It was Tony and Bananas.

Then, out of the people that voted for them, which were Joss/Sylvia and Natalie/Paulie, they could only go against the later so... That it was.

My hopes got really high when I saw what type of challenge it was - an eating challenge. But there were two parts to this challenge, and that was the big problem.

Tony didn't really have a problem with the eating (nor did Paulie, for that matter), but the second part was to have your arms in the air as long as possible and, to be honest, as soon as I saw that challenge I thought it was actually made for me. This might sound really weird but I spend a lot of time with my hand/arms in the air just because I like the feeling. I know, weird, but I thought I would be good at this challenge. But I would never be as good as Bananas or Natalie (at least, I don't think so) because they spent 5 hours with their hands in the air. 5 hours! Then, it was just up to who was willing to give up and... Bananas was the one to give up. I don't really know how I feel about that. He was so damn close to the final and to proving all this b*tches wrong and, for that, I'm a bit mad at him but then... 5 hours is a long time and I can't be mad because he really tried. And then, it's not like he never won or anything. Plus, he's going to be back for another season, for sure so... There's always next season.

And, with that, we move right to the Final. We don't really get to see anything of the final, just TJ explaining that, this time, they are going to get timed individually because, in the end, the person in the winning team with the best time is going to choose if she/he wants to share the money with their team mate or if they want to pull a Johnny Bananas and 'take the money and run'. And that was it.

Needless to say that now, that Bananas and Tony are gone, that I'm rooting for Cara Maria and Marie because, not only I like them better than anyone else, but they are the only girl/girl team and it would be huge if they won! Actually, from the preview, I have a big feeling that they might actually win because of the smile on Cara's face but... You never know.

So, let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you in a minute with that The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 18 - "It's Always Sunny in South Africa"

Spoiler Alert!

(Once again, look at that photo of Bananas...Anyway...)

Hello everyone! Here I am, one more day, with a new The Challenge rant!

And you guys have no idea how happy I am with this episode! Not only it was the type of episodes that I like - with challenges non-stop and no drama - but also I loved the outcome of this eliminations.

Okay, I'm just going to say it - Bananas freaking won against Shane! F*ck, yeah! And this win was even better because it was a physical challenge! I already knew that it was going to be, because I saw some previews on The Challenge's twitter account, but you never know how this is going to end. Thankfully, it ended just the way I wanted (and that it should've ended) and Bananas/Tony won against Nelson/Shane, and by a lot! This was one of those types of eliminations that were 3 out of 5 and Bananas/Tony scored 3 right away, against 0 from Shane and Nelson, so this whole win was even better! I just can't stop saying how happy I am with this outcome so, before I keep on rambling about how much I like Bananas, let's move to the other team that also got back to game (but not for long) - Kam and Kayleigh. 

That's right, Kam and Kayleigh won against Brad and Kyle and worst of all was that Brad and Kyle were the ones to get the double cross so, therefore, the ones to choose which team they wanted to go against (aka the weakest team) and even with that advantage, they lost. I have to say, I was kind of rooting for them because, just like Bananas and Tony, Brad and Kyle were hated by basically everyone and, for some odd reason, I like those teams. But anyway, this just shows how bad they are because they lost against Shane and Nelson and now they also lost against Kam and Kayleigh and, not to be sexist or anything, but they lost against two girls! Yes, their challenge wasn't physical like Bananas' was, but still... 

Moving on... Surprisingly, there was no drama nor any 'break' between the eliminations and the next challenge, which I quite liked. 

This challenge was an endurance one that, it kind of looked like it was easy, but I guess it wasn't that easy because a lot of teams struggled. Anyway, we also find out that that challenge is another purge challenge and that the last teams is going home (because no more redemption house from now on), and that last team was Kam and Kayleigh. I'm actually okay with that... I don't care much for them and Kam sometimes was really annoying so, it was cool. The first place team though was Sylvia and Joss, which I didn't like... I hate all those Lavender Ladies and after what happened between Marie and Sylvia... I used to like Sylvia and dislike Marie but now I feel the other way around - I hate Sylvia and kind of like Marie. Well, at least Sylvia and Joss aren't like 'safe', they are just going to have an advantage for the next challenge (at least, that's what I understood).

And, yeah, I guess that's pretty much it for this episode. I'm quite happy with where this is going. I'm almost 100% sure that, if Bananas and Tony don't win the next challenge, they are going to go to elimination again but, let's be fair, unless it is another of those dumb challenges of building pyramids or some sh*t, they are going to win against any of those teams so, I'm confident. Plus, I know they can win an challenge! I have faith in my boys. I also predict that there's going to be three/four more episodes - the next one with a challenge and an elimination, the following two the final and the last episode the reunion.

Let me know your thoughts and what you think is going to happen in the next episodes! We are pretty close to the final so... Let's see how this all ends!

I'll see you guys in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 16 - "The Leftovers"

Spoiler Alert!

(Look how beautiful Bananas looks in my banner!)

Anyway...

Hello people!

Here I am with the new The Challenge rant (which I thought I wasn't going to post today but I did so congrats to me!).

I'm not going to waste any time and jump right into it! I really liked this episode, even though I was wrong with my prediction.

The episode actually started with that huge fight that was a big part of the episode. So, the story goes like this: they all go out for dinner, they eat a lot, everyone is pretending to be okay with each other, they get to the vans to get back to the house and... Tony throws away Cory's pasta (which was in a container). They then arrive at the house and, out of nowhere, Cory knocks out Tony. Tony was clearly wasted though but, this time, he didn't do anything and Cory went pretty low and just knocked him out, out of nowhere.

The rest of the night was focused on that. Then, as usual, the people involved in a 'fight' go to an hotel to clear their heads and then the drama moved to Bananas.

Bananas have been a target throughout this whole season and, as he said before, everyone has their limit and in this episode Devin really pushed them. Actually, despise what everyone might say, I applaud Bananas because he acted pretty well in this whole thing. Devin kept pushing him and Bananas actually tried to get away from him but Devin kept chasing him and it came to a point where Bananas had to use Devin's dad's death to just get rid of him. But, to be honest, he didn't even say anything that bad. The only thing that he did was say that he shouldn't be in the game but instead be at home with his family and such, which I don't think is that bad.

After that, things cleared a bit and in the next morning both Tony and Cory came back to the house. And then TJ appeared. Something had to be done so... Devin and Cory were sent home, just like that. What Cory did was really horrible and this was actually the right thing to do.

Also, this is great for Bananas' game so, that's also a plus.

Past all this, it was time for the week's challenge - Trivia.

I was really excited for this challenge because they usually are pretty bad at it but this time they surprised me and basically everyone did pretty well. I was also really happy with the outcome because Paulie and Natalie won and they're on Bananas' side so, I'm cool with how this is going.

Then the episode just ended but not before we see a preview for the next one. We got to see a lot of people and the only two teams that we didn't were Bananas/Tony and Ashley/Hunter. My guess is that all of Bananas' people are going to vote for Ashley and Hunter and they are probably going to choose to go against Bananas and Tony, just because... I doubt Ashley and Hunter win against them, and I sure hope they don't but, you never know. My prediction is that they are the ones to go to the redemption house. Also, they next challenge is a Purge challenge so, that's also going to be interesting.

Let me know your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you tomorrow with a new AHS rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 15 - "Wheel of Fortune"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello again people!

Yes, I was able to watch and post about the new The Challenge episode, like I said I was going to try! And what an episode!

I'm extremely happy with this episode and I'm so stoked for the next one! It's going to be huge so I can't wait!

But anyway, this episode was full of eliminations. Heck, it was just eliminations, and it was so good!

First of all, we saw the elimination of Cara Maria/Marie and Shane/Nelson that was extremely short. Well, now that I think about it, I understand why it was so short. In the end, Cara and Marie lost and we saw them, straight away getting to the Redemption House and that's when the focus of the episode also moved to the Redemption House.

We already knew this was going to happen. This was only about the Redemption House and we see what we saw in the preview last week - that there was going to be two eliminations aka four teams to battle it out. My only issue was how that was going to play out but we soon learn that the eliminations are correlated and that was cool.

Anyway, back to the double cross. The first team to get the double cross was Kam and Kayleigh, who I don't really like but I was happy just because they had said that they were going to pick Cara and Marie because both were teams of two girls, and now it was all about getting a team of two girls back to the game. The next team to get the double cross was Kyle and Brad who, again, I'm not the biggest fan of but I guess I was okay with it. Either way, it was going to benefit Bananas so, that's all that matters really. 

I'm not going to talk much about the whole politics that happened after the double cross because it's just a mess but I'm just going to say that Kam had a plan to get Natalie and Paulie back into the game as well as having Cara and Marie. Well, in the end, it kind of worked out.

In the Armageddon, Kam and Kayleigh ended up choosing Cara and Marie, like they said they would, and Kyle and Brad chose Natalie and Paulie, just because they thought it was easier to beat them. Also in that moment, we learned that Zach had his nose broken so he couldn't stay in the game anymore, which meant Amanda had to go home as well. I can't say I'm mad at it, because I hate Amanda and I just can't stand looking at her, but I felt sorry for Zach who is a good competitor and is also on Bananas side. Oh, this also meant that we had to say goodbye to Jozea and Da'Vonne, which is a bummer too because they were actually good and I had faith in them. Well, I can't wait to see them in the game again, just like they said.

So, after that, we moved to the actual elimination which was pretty hard, I must say. First were the girls and I was so happy with the results! Cara and Marie won! And then, the other team... What a slap in the face! Natalie and Paulie ended up winning, which I'm also happy about, to be honest, even more after what Natalie went through inside that ball. That looked awful so, congrats!

And, that was it for the actual episode. We then saw that the next challenge is going to be Trivia, which is one of my favorite challenges and there's going to be a whole lot of drama involving Bananas, and I actually paid really close attentions to the footage and I'm 90% sure that Hunter is the one that is going to 'knock out' Bananas which is huge and, no matte who actually does it, it's going to make an huge impact in this team's game so... We're in for a ride in the next episode.

Anyway, that's it guys. I doubt I'll be able to post any more rants today so, keep an eye tomorrow.

Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 14 - "Lavender Is the New Black"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm so sorry I took way too long with this rant (this and all the others). You know, life happens. I really thought I was going to be able to post this sooner but turns out I didn't have any time so I'm posting this now. Hope you don't mind and forgive me for being late.

Anyway, past that, I have to say that I'm actually pretty happy with this episode of The Challenge. After the huge twist that was the last episode, I was really curious to see this one and, at the same time, kind of worried because Bananas was really low on alliances and I don't like that.

Surprisingly, we didn't see much drama in this episode. We saw Zach/Amanda and Jozea/Da'Vonne getting to the Redemption House, talking to everyone else that was there and that's it.

Then, we moved to the main house where the main topic was, obviously, the two alliances that are against Bananas, the Lavender Ladies and the TYB (Nelson, Hunter and Cory). They kept all being so annoying and seriously, I applaud Bananas for keeping up with that sh*t and not saying anything really, because they were all so annoying. But enough about that, let's just jump right into the week's challenge.

It was a pretty interesting one and, actually, they dragged it a lot, and leaving Bananas and Tony for last just to build up the tension because right now, they would either win and be safe, or not win and know that they were going to elimination. Thank god they actually won! I was really worried because, in the end, it was between Bananas/Tony and Nelson/Shane and I really didn't want Shane and Nelson to win so yeah, thank got Bananas and Tony won!

After that, all the drama was about Marie and her fake friends. Since she's teamed up with Cara and Cara, obviously is the only person right now on Bananas' side, they both knew (Cara and Marie) and they where going to be the ones to go to elimination. Still, Marie was part of the Lavender Ladies (kind of) and she was really good friends with Shane but everyone tells her that they are voting for her and Cara and all hell breaks loose! Marie starts fighting with everyone and Sylvia even pushes her with her head like, it was a little 'tap', it wasn't a big fight but it was nasty the way Sylvia was talking to her 'friend'. This is how you see who your real friends are.

When it came to the actual elimination, Cara and Marie already knew they were going in, with everyone but Bananas and Tony voting for them. This was actually 'funny' because now they could choose anyone else to go against them and Marie was really pissed off at everyone so, I was curious to see which team they were going to pick. I was actually surprised (or not, I don't know) when they chose to go against Shane and Nelson. I mean, I don't know if I would pick them because it's two guys against two girls but at the same time, Shane is the shadiest and he's, like Marie said, they head of all this alliances so, you gotta start with cutting off the snake's head.

And well, the episode ended like that.

I have faith that Cara and Marie are going to pull it off and win. Well, at least, I hope so, because I would love to see Shane and Nelson go to the Redemption House and basically have no chances into getting back to the main game because no one likes them in there. 

I don't know what's going to happen with those teams, but we do know, from the preview, that in the next double cross, four teams are going to elimination and two are getting back to the game so, I'm excited for that.

Ok, so that's it. Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you soon with a new rant.

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 13 - "The People vs. Johnny Bananas"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and welcome to the review of the craziest The Challenge episode!

Seriously, wow! I don't have words for this episode! It was everything that I want out a The Challenge episode and this showed why I love this series so much! For real, I couldn't be happier with the episode! Yes, my prediction was all wrong but you know what?! I liked this outcome better, to be honest.

In case you didn't watch the episode (which, by the way, you should) everything came down when Zach and Amanda couldn't make a decision. I mean, we already knew this was going to happen, but that outcome, wow!

So, the first part of the episode was just 'drama'... Like, everyone was coming up with a plan and, this part, actually, I got right. The lavender ladies all wanted to vote for Bananas and then, there was Jozea/Da'Vonne, Cara Maria/Marie and Zach/Amanda. Zach and Amanda actually had a pretty big argument and, in the end, they voted for Jozea and Da'Vonne, like I predicted. But then, there's what I didn't get right - Bananas and Cara Maria decided that they should vote for Ashley and Hunter because Marie didn't want to vote for Shane so, they went with Ashley which, right away, was something I wasn't expecting. But one of the biggest surprised were that actually, this time, Jozea and Da'Vonne picked a side and, since we knew this was going to go to a tie, we knew they were on Bananas' side! 

Then, comes the biggest surprise of the episode (and maybe even the season)!

It gets to a tie between Bananas/Tony and Ashley/Hunter, as expected. Also, as expected, Amanda and Zach can't be on the same page so... They are the ones to go to elimination! That was some big twist! I mean, they didn't have to, but TJ said that either they would come to a decision or they would be the ones to go to elimination and Zach, also in a way to king of 'punish' Amanda, decides that they go in and that's it. Then, obviously, because no one voted for them, they could pick out of anyone else so they went with the safe choice - Jozea and Da'Vonne. But they weren't going to go against each other - both teams would go against Devin and Cory, the mercenaries. 

That's when TJ explains that, because Cory and Devin are getting into the game pretty close to the end that, in order to really get a place in the game, they had to beat both teams and, if not, they would go to the redemption house. Zach and Amanda went first against them and... Cory and Devin won, unfortunately. After that, it was all up to Jozea and Da'Vonne to stop Cory and Devin from getting into the main game but... They also failed at that, unfortunately. I was really rooting for them, not only because they were on Bananas' side, but also because I hate Devin, he's like the male version of Amanda so we did get rid of Amanda, but now there's Devin to replace her... Ugh!

Anyway, these were the events in this episode.

I have no idea what's going to happen in the next episode but a Redemption House episode must be pretty close and, after that, I guess there won't be more Redemption House. Also, I do believe Joze and Da'Vonne are going to get the double cross and they are going to get back into the game again. They are just that lucky and, to be honest, I kind of want them back. I don't like any of the other people that is there so... They are the better ones and, since the beginning, I've been liking their game so, I want them back.

So, let me know your thoughts on this crazy episode and I'll see  you tomorrow with a new AHS rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 12 - "Unhappy Days"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

So, things aren't really looking nice for me right now. I mean, game wise. 

As you can see, here's a new the Challenge rant, but a not so happy one. Nothing like really major happened, to be honest, but I'm predicting that it's going to turn sour in the next couple of episodes but... I'll get into that later. Let's talk about this episode.

The episode started with some parties and what not, to create that mood for what's going next - the nominations.

Somehow, Shane thinks of a plan that would work out for all the Lavender Ladies (it didn't end that well, though) not knowing which was going to be Bananas' move. Well, I predicted that Tony and Bananas would go for either Brad/Kyle or Ashley/Hunter but they really surprised me when it showed that they actually voted for Shane and Nelson. Actually, in the end, if came to a tie between Shane/Nelson, Zach/Amanda and Jozea/Da'Vonne. Then, it came to Bananas and Tony to decide and, of course, they chose Shane and Nelson. After that, we find out that Bananas and Tony were the only ones to vote for them so it was up to Shane and Nelson to choose who to go against, out of anyone. They went big and chose to go against Brad and Kyle and in the end, very surprisingly, they won and sent Brad and Kyle to the redemption house. That wasn't so bad though, it's less competition for Bananas and Tony, but the truth is, the house is one step closer to be all Lavender Ladies people so... I'm not liking that.

Obviously, after the elimination, we had to see Kyle and Brad going to the Redemption House and getting face to face with Paulie. 

Paulie was actually pretty smart and didn't do anything so... I'm 'proud' of him and I can't wait to see where this thing go.

Then, they moved on pretty quickly to another challenge, thankfully, because I thought it was going to be just the elimination.

Anyway, the challenge was pretty interesting and Bananas and Tony were actually in the lead but then... came the puzzle part of the challenge and, in the end, Amanda and Zach won, unfortunately.

Seriously, I'm so sick of Amanda and I just can't believe how many times they have been winning.

Well, that was basically it for this episode. After that, as usual, they show a 'Next On' and I have a lot of thoughts on it. They show Amanda and Zach arguing because, obviously, Amanda wants to vote for Bananas and Zach doesn't so, that's going to be like a big part of the next episode. Also, we see that it's going to be a tie between Bananas/Tony and someone else and it's going to be up to Zach and Amanda to choose, to which Amanda says that she want's Bananas. My prediction on this is that it's going to be a tie between Bananas/Tony and Jozea/Da'Vonne because basically all the Lavender Ladies are going to vote for Bananas. Then, I believe Zach is going to be able to convince Amanda to vote for Jozea and Da'Vonne and, of course, Bananas and Tony, trying to save themselves, are going to vote for Jozea as well. Then, there's Cara Maria/Marie and Jozea/Da'Vonne that are going to vote randomly in a way to save themselves. 

Post this, I think Bananas and Tony are going to be the ones to go into elimination because, if Zach convinced Amanda to vote his way, now Amanda is going to convince Zach to vote her way so... And, on top of that, we see that this elimination is going to be Mercenaries again - Devin and Cory - and, since episode 14 is called 'Lavender Is the New Black', I'm predicting that Bananas and Tony aren't going to win and are going to the Redemption House.

I have some hopes though, even if they go into Redemption House, because I think basically all the teams that are there, if they get the double cross, they are probably going to choose Bananas and Tony to go against them. 

Okay, this are all my thoughts and predictions. Let me know what you think and if you disagree, tell me why.

I'll see you tomorrow with a new AHS rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 10 - "Redemption House of Cards"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here I am, one more week with a new The Challenge rant.

This week the episode went by surprisingly quickly. It didn't have much drama, just enough to keep us going, and the actual challenges went by so fast. I don't know what it was but, in the end, it was a good episode and that preview for the rest of the season -  wow! I don't even know what to think about it but, anyway, let's just talk about this episode.

Like the title says, this was an episode focused on the Redemption House. We knew this was coming, because we found out in the end of last week's episode that Jozea and Da'Vonne were the ones to go into elimination to get a chance to get back into the main house. The think was, we didn't know who they were going to pick to go against them. Initially, like I said last week, I thought it was either going to be Natalie/Paulie or Angela/Faith. because they were the two teams they had an alliance with. But then, the preview and this episode, showed a lot of CT and that just got me thinking (that, and my hopes that it was actually going to be him). Well, in the end, they went with Natalie and Paulie because of the Big Brother friendship and everything.

Although I hoped it would be CT, I was happy to see Jozea and Da'Vonne stay true to their friendships and alliances and choose Natalie and Paulie. The outcome of everything also pleased me, to be honest, because Jozea and Da'Vonne won, which means they got back into the house and Paulie and Natalie went back to the Redemption House. You can't say that's bad either, I mean, they are still in the game and they haven't done much so... That's a good game as well. It would be fun to see them make into the final by always being in the Redemption House - that would piss off a lot of people.

Anyway, after that, there wasn't barely any drama and we moved pretty quickly to the week's challenge, which was a Purge Challenge.

This challenge had two parts, in which the second one was an eating challenge so, you know, I had my hopes up with Tony and Bananas. Unfortunately, in the end, Hunter and Ashley won. After that, we saw a lot of teams being save and then, right before the episode ends, as expected, we see that it comes down to Kam/Kayleigh and Cara Maria/Marie. Obviously I'm rooting for Cara Maria and, from the looks of it, it leads us to believe that she's going to win but... You never know.

Then, like I said in the beginning, we see a montage of what's to come, one of those things being more Mercenaries. Also, we see a lot of people getting injured and more Bananas drama so... I'm curious. Also, big twist - this season will have 'take the money and run' thing again were the partner can have all the money. I don't know how that's going to work but I'm curious.

So, I guess that's it for today's rant. Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you tomorrow with the AHS new season's premiere!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 9 - "Bro-ing Pains"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

I'm so stocked with this episode! This was probably one of the best episodes this season (and maybe even in a while) because it had everything - nominations, a great elimination (some might say the hardest ever on the challenge) and, most important, barely any drama (just a good amount to spice things up).

And so, since I have so much to talk about, let's get started!

The episode started with a little context on all the dramas and everything right now - we saw a bit of Jozea and Da'Vonne with Bananas and Tony saying stuff about Shane and just being really sneaky about their votes, the 'Lavender Lady Alliance' working some things and trying to figure out the good way to vote and we even had some stuff about CT and Veronica, in the Redemption House, trying to work things between them (which might be a hint for something in the future, let's see).

After that we moved to the nominations and we saw everyone doing the exact same thing that they did when Kam basically 'manipulated' them - they all basically burn voted on each other - apart from Bananas/Tony and Jozea/Da'Vonne, and that was exactly what messed everything up because no one knew what those two teams were going to do and, in the end, it was great because everyone got voted apart from Zach/Amanda, which were the ones that won the challenge and couldn't be voted it, and Bananas/Tony, which I'm so fine with! Somehow they keep getting saved and I just can't wait for them to finally win a challenge because they really deserve it (and I'm not just saying that because I like Bananas, they truly are one of the strongest teams and they deserve a win by now).

Anyway, after that, it was time to find out who was actually going to elimination and... it was a tie, between Sylvia/Joss, Kam/Kayleigh and Jozea/Da'Vonne. Because it was a tie, Zach and Amanda, because they were the challenge winners, they had to choose who was going to elimination and so, obviously they chose Jozea and Da'Vonne. But things don't end here. Then, we see that the only ones to vote for them were Zach and Amanda who, obviously, couldn't go to elimination because they won and were saved so... It was up to Jozea and Da'Vonne to choose who they wanted to go into elimination against them, from everyone else! And this is when things get pretty shocking and they choose to go against Kam and Kayleigh. I didn't mind though. Actually, turns out, I predicted both of them in my last rant and they did go to elimination so, I'm happy with myself.

Then it was time for the actually elimination, which I'm not going to get much into that. I'm just going to say that it looked really though and, like I said in the beginning, some say it was the hardest elimination that The Challenge ever had, and I actually believed it. It was so hard that they couldn't finish it and it came down to (since it was a puzzle) who had the least wrong pieces.

In the end, Kam and Kayleigh won, unfortunatelly. But Jozea and Da'Vonne went back to the Redemption House and plot twist again - right the next day (again, like I predicted) it was time for Double Cross and guess what? Yes, Jozea and Da'Vonne got the double cross which means, they are, for sure, going to battle to get back into the game. Now, we just don't know who they are going to pick to go against them.

Right away I thought they were going to either pick Natalie/Paulie or Angela/Faith but with all the things with CT and the preview for next episode, which focused a lot on CT... I don't know, Jozea by actually pick CT to go against him and Da'Vonne.

I don't know but it is going to be pretty interesting. Plus, next challenge is going to be another Purge so, I'm also excited for that.

Let me know who you think Jozea is going to pick and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 8 - "Shaneless"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Here I am, one more week, with a new The Challenge rant.

This episode had quite a few things happening, a lot of drama and, although I don't comment on drama that often, this involved Bananas so... You know I have an opinion on it so, let's get started.

The episode started just like the last one ended - with the mercenaries to go up against Angela and Faith. This was a pretty good elimination because in the beginning, they were neck a neck and actually, Angela and Faith were doing really good and they were ahead of Hunter and Ashley. But then, almost in the end, something happened to Faith (she said it was some type of injury with a finger nail or something) and she just basically gave up, resulting in Hunter and Ashley winning and getting into the game. To be honest, I was rooting for Angela and Faith, no reason really, I guess it was because no one was actually rooting for them and, overall, I don't dislike them. Plus, I don't like Kam and she was the one to send them in so, yeah. They didn't win, like I said, but they did go to the Redemption House, which was something that I wasn't sure about. 

Then, because of that, because they went to the Redemption House, I'm pretty sure that the next episode is going to be another Redemption House elimination or something and, from what we saw in the preview, it seems like it. It's going to be good though, because this episode didn't have the elimination (nor the nominations, for that matter) so it's going to be nice to have nominations, elimination and Redemption House elimination. This way, the next episode can come back to 'normal' and have challenge, nominations and elimination.

Anyway, after the elimination, and after Hunter and Ashley getting into the game, of course something had to happen - Ashley and Kyle hooked up. I swear to god, Kyle can't keep it in his pants! I used to kind of like him but now I'm just over him and I just want him to go home because all those hookups are too much.

After that drama, there was another drama involving Shane and Bananas (and Cara Maria, kind of). Jozea and Da'Vonne also got involved in it mostly after the main challenge.

I have so much to talk about this! Really! I'm going to try and keep it short but I can't promise because I'm too passionate about it.

So, basically Shane decided to sabotage his own team (because we was in the same team as Bananas/Tony and Jozea/Da'Vonne) and made them loose. In my opinion, that was such a dumb move! Okay, he wasn't going to be the MVP, Bananas and Tony were going to be for sure but that way, he could possibly just have two/three votes but now?! If I was in his team, I would vote for him (and if everyone does that, he's going to have, at least, two/three votes, which is basically the same as if he was MVP). I don't know if you understood but my point is just that he was dumb and this is probably going to bite him in the ass. I used to like Shane, but he's getting more and more annoying and...  I don't know. Bananas is my number one so I'm going to be on his side no matter what. (At least, in something like this). 

Well, I don't know if he's going into elimination, because from the preview it looks like it's going to be Kam and Kayleigh and, to be honest, you can't forget that probably everyone is still pissed at her for what she did last time so... She's probably going to elimination and I'm also okay with that. As long as Bananas doesn't go, I'm fine.

Okay, I guess that's pretty much it.

Let me know all your thoughts on this episode. Are you on Shane's side or Bananas' side? Do you agree with what Shane did to his 'team'? 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.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 6 - "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Back with a new The Challenge rant.

I have to say, I quite enjoyed this episode! For once, it barely had any drama and we almost got a 'full' episode (with challenge, nominations and elimination). The only part missing was just the elimination and, from the preview for the next episode, it seems like it won't be a big of a deal since we basically already know who's going home. Also, the preview only focused on the actual challenge of the next episode (so we know there's going to be one) and the elimination, which will involve the mercenaries, so we also know that it's going to be a fullish episode (they're probably going to cut the last bits of the elimination but that's fine by me).

Anyway, we've talked enough about the next episode so, let's get into this episode.

Like I said, this one didn't focus much on drama. We got a glimpse of the 'remains' from the Brad/Britini drama, with Brad talking to Britini and learning the truth and then, the only drama throughout the episode was the Cara Maria/Kyle/Faith drama.

We see a bunch of couples going to bed together and you know... and then it just left Cara sad and everything because one of those 'couples' were Kyle and Faith.

Then, we moved on to the weekly challenge and, right in the beginning, Brad and Kyle threw a power move at Cara and Marie and got rid of one of the ropes that was 'needed' for balance in the challenge, which was what f*cked up their game because they were actually playing really well.

The challenge itself was like a mix - there was the first part that I thought was kind of easy, and then the second part was like really difficult so props to everyone who finished it (which was only three teams, one of them being Bananas and Tony, of course) because that seemed pretty difficult.

Unfortunately, Bananas and Tony didn't win, again. Instead, Zach and Amanda won which leaves me with mixed feelings because I like Zach but I hate Amanda.

After that, it was time for nominations and that was actually pretty funny because a lot of people went with a 'burn' vote but the thing is, if all those people voted for the same team, it's not going to be a burn vote so... And then, on top of that, we saw in the preview for next episode that most of the teams were still in the game so it can either be Jozea and Da'Vonne or Brad and Kyle because they're the ones that I can't remember to see on the preview.

I'm curious, though... 

The episode then finished with a little drama between Da'Vonne and Shane which was just hillarious.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on this episode.

It seems like we are back on track with the 'normal' episodes, which makes me happy so, I'm not going to complain. Just keep up with this format and I'll be happy.

Let me know your thoughts and I'll see you next week!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 5 - "Breaking Brad"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!

Here I am, one more week, to talk to you about The Challenge.

I should say that I kind of had high expectations for this episode but, in the end, it turned out to me a little 'meh'. The premise that there was going to be a Purge in this episode looked really nice to me but the main focus of the episode was drama (once again) and I'm just tired of it.

Basically everyone had drama in this episode. Not huge things though, but there was some issues between CT and Veronica, the usual between Marie and Cara, things with Kayleigh and Nelson... Like, a lot of issues but not anything major, which I would say, is worse because this way you don't even have anything to be shocked with or anything.

Then, the actual challenge was a little 'meh' as well. The outcome wasn't even that surprising. I mean, I was expecting CT and Veronica to go to the Redemption House, at least, not this early, but I wasn't exactly surprised either because it was pretty clear that Veronica hasn't been doing anything to improve in challenges and in the episode, CT got really pissed at her attitude and ultimately at the fact that they lost and went straight up to the Redemption House. I have faith that they are going to get out of there and get back to the main game though, but if it is something like the last time, it might not even be up to them so... I don't know.

I did like the fact that Tony and Bananas were one of the only two teams who finished the challenge. Unfortunately, Brad and Kyle won (once again). It seems like Bananas and Tony are always getting second place and, although that is also nice, I would like to see them win and be the top team to beat. I still believe they are going to be the ones to win this season so...

I think Kyle has too many issues with a lot of people and that won't be good to his game. But then, Bananas and Tony had to really work things out. We saw a glimpse of that in this episode and I believe things are going to work out well for them so, let's see.

Anyway, this are my thoughts on this episode.

Hopefully next episode will be a 'normal' one with Challenge, Nominations and Elimination.

Let me know what you thought and I'll see you next week with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 4 - "The Affair"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello!

So here I am, as I promised, with the lasted The Challenge rant.

Just as I suspected, this episode was all about the Redemption House. I'm not even going to ramble about it. I'm going straight to the point.

Of course we had that drama thing that seems like it is the main topic on the show this days but, what really matters is what came out of the Redemption House. Overall, it was quite exciting but there was some things that I disagreed on, such has the way they handled the amount of people that there was in the Redemption House. 

As we suspected, the getting back to the game from the Redemption House involved the double crosses, just like in Dirty 30, but this time, the team to get the double cross would be, not only one of the teams to compete and get a chance to get back in the game, but also the team to choose who they wanted to go against - the remaining teams where going straight home, no chance to fight.

I really didn't like that because they basically just stayed there, in that house, doing nothing to then really go home. At least, they should've had a chance to prove themselves... 

Anyway, also like I said, Natalie and Paulie really did go to the Redemption House so they also competed in that elimination - actually, they were the ones to get the double cross (lucky bastards) and they got the power to choose who to go against - Jozea/Devonne, Jenna/Jemmye or Britini/Chuck. But, another plot twist, they would only let them know in the actual elimination.

Also, everyone else from the main house were called to go to the actual elimination, to see them fight for a way to get back - resulting in them finding out about the Redemption House.

I actually thought they were going to save that for later but maybe they already have more twists so...

Well, the really surprising part of the episode was Natalie and Paulie choosing Devonne and Jozea to go against, because Paulie decided to send straight home Zach and Brad's girlfriends (Jenna and Britini) in a way to get to them. That was really low. And, in the end, it was for nothing really because Paulie and Natalie lost again - which meant they went back to the Redemption House, this time, alone.

But before they went, Paulie had to cause some drama - not only he almost got into a fight with Zach, Brad and Kyle, but also spilled out some lies about Britini sleeping with Chuck in the Redemption House.

It was a big mess and I just want to see what's going to get out of that.

So, next episode we are finally going to have a proper challenge and it seems like they are realizing they still have too many players because it's going to be a Purge so, it's going to be cool.

Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you next week!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 2 - "The Young and the Wreckless"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys!

Here we are with a brand new The Challenge rant!

Although this episode had a lot of information, it was a little annoying for me, to be honest. Yes, they answered basically all the questions that I had (which I mentioned in my last post) but it dragged the 'drama' so much! Basically half of the episode was 'drama' (which wasn't even that much drama) and we just saw a tiny bit of the week's challenge. Well, and needless to say that we didn't even get to nominations nor elimination.

Anyway, let's talk about the good stuff.

Right in the beginning we saw something new - the people in the redemption house getting to 'spy' on the main house through the 'surveillance room', where they saw a tiny bit of what was going on on the main house. Of course they had to show them what happened between Melissa and Kailah but they didn't get any answers. For a minute, I actually thought they were going to be the ones to decide if Kam and Kayleigh were going home or not (since we already knew that Kailah and Melissa were). 

Well, that didn't happen but my other prediction did - Kam and Kayleigh got paired up. I thought this was going to happen (either this or they were going to the Redemption House) so it wasn't really a surprise, but it was nice though, since they didn't have anything to do with what happened between Melissa and Kailah. 

After that, like I said before, they showed a lot of things that were kind of boring in my opinion - some 'drama' between Chuck and Britini, more stuff about Cara, Kyle and Paulie, Bananas and Natalie talking about what happened between them and so on. None of those things mattered much to me. 

When they did move on to the actual challenge, we found out the other thing that everyone was curious about - Bananas' partner. I have to say, I saw a bit of spoilers so it wasn't a surprise to me but, even if I didn't see any spoilers, it wasn't going to be a surprise anyway because it was exactly the person I thought it would be - Tony. That's right, Bananas and Tony are a team and I'm so sure they were going to be freaking amazing! Well, they already were!

Like I suspected, they were going to be a strong team and in this first challenge they got tied with Brad and Kyle. In the end, because of time, Kyle and Brad won but I'm still proud of Bananas and Tony and I'm pretty sure they are going to go far in this season. I'm sure the 'drama' between them isn't going to last long (just like with Bananas and Sarah all those seasons ago).

And, that's where the episode ended. No nominations and no elimination.

We did see a sneak peek of the next episode and it looks like everyone is only going to pick one team to go into elimination and them it's going to be random. At least, this time because I think they are going to change things up in the next episodes. I don't know, but I have a feeling.

So, let me know your thoughts on this episode and, just letting you know, next rant will be up a little later because I'm going on holidays and I'm only going to be able to post the rant probably on the last day of July (either that or August 1st).

Anyway, hope you liked it and I'll see you on my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning | Season 32 Episode 1 - "Six Feet Under"

Spoiler Alert! 

Hello guys!

We are finally back with the usual The Challenge episodes and I have to say, I'm so excited about this season!

From the looks of it, this is going to be the best one so far, full of twists and turns, a lot of drama and really good challenges. The overall cast looks good and, although this first episode didn't  have a lot of physical challenges, it was really nice and so much happened already!

First of all, we got to meet some of the cast - my fave Bananas is among them so I'm already happy. Apart from him, Cara Maria, CT, Jenna, Zach and all those ones that we like the most are all in this season. Of course, there's also people like Amanda, who I hate so much, but I'm just trying to forget about her and all the other people that I just don't like.

Anyway, after getting to know the cast, they moved on to a challenge to, not only find out who their partners would be, since this season is all about being paired with the person you hate the most, as well as finding who's the last two teams that are going home straight away.

Unfortunately, Zach was paired with Amanda and they were the winners of the challenge. Also sadly, one of the teams that lost was Jenna's, who was paired with Jemmye. And, along with Jenna and Jemmye, also Britini and Chuck were the last ones to finish the challenge, therefore, the ones to go home. But that's not all. Because Amanda and Zach were the winning team, they had to choose another team to go home, which the chose Jozea and the girl who he was paired with, which I don't know and can't really remember the name of.

Moving from this, the rest of the episode was just drama. Lots of people hooking up with each other, dramas from the past and a kind of cliffhanger - turns out Bananas doesn't have a pair (yet) so we are still waiting for that. In my opinion, it's going to be Tony but, you never know. I actually would like to see them working together because I believe they would be such a good team and, to be honest, if they do get paired up, they are for sure going to be in the final. I really believe that.

Well, like I said, the rest of the episode was focused on drama and the biggest of all was the fight between Melissa and Kailah. I freaking hate Kailah, almost as much as I hate Amanda so I'm not even mad about it, nor with the resolution because, as you can imagine, the producers had to do something and yes, both of them were eliminated. The thing is, this is a pairs game so what's going to happen to they're team mates Kaileigh and Kam? Well, that's what we are going to find out in the next episode.

To be honest, I don't think they are going home - instead, they are going to the Redemption House because yes, there's a Redemption House again, in which all the other three teams that were sent home are right now which means, Jenna is still in the game, which I like.

Ok guys, that's it. This is what happened in this first episode. Not much physical stuff but, from the preview of the rest of the season, it looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride so, I can't wait!

Let me know all your thoughts and predictions and I'll see you guys next week with a new rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 16 - "Finale Part 2"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!

Here we are with the final episode of this season of The Challenge.

Unfortunatelly, we are ending on a not so good note because this episode was basically the same as the last one. Okay, we had some news and gossip that we didn't know about but, overall, it was a poor episode that only made me hate more the people that I already hated. Luckily, the outcome of it all was good and about that I am happy. The thing is, I saw some spoilers before watching the episode, so this wasn't exactly a surprise to me so it wasn't that exciting but I was glad anyway. Heck, I guess I should just start with the person that won, right?

Thank god I was right and that my prayers were answered and Cara Maria won! I would still like to see Kyle win, just for the sake of a rookie winning (plus, I actually like Kyle) but Cara Maria was the person I was hoping would win and, overall, I just didn't want Kailah to win and yeah, she ended up in 4th which is even better! You could totally see her fake smile in the end of this episode. 

Well, since we're on the topic of Kailah, I should just point out that this episode made me hate her even more with the whole Kayleigh's bed thing and just overall the sh*t she said through out the whole episode! Even Jemmye apologized for what she did but not Kailah, she's too good for that! And then, tells Cara that she basically wants everyone to kneel before her and 'kiss her ass' because she thinks she the best! Heck, Cara Maria won! Kailah didn't so, who's the best?! 

That argument, the one that made Cara Maria cry even made me dislike Jordan even more, starting an argument with Derrick... Who does he thinks he is?! Ok, Jordan might be good and all but Derrick men! He not only is good on the game, he doesn't give up and he's actually a good human being! And Derrick was just right! Cara Maria has been on tons of challenges and have won now 3 of those so she has the right to think she's better than those girls, because she is! Even though, she doesn't even think that so those girls, Kailah, Marie, Kam and all those b*tches are just wrong! I'm sorry if I'm coming a little hard on this rant but I just really dislike them! They are the ones that think are better and, on top of that, they aren't even good people, which makes everything worse! It's not just spreading rumors because, just like Bananas said, that's part of the game, it's the bullying that is completely wrong and not part of the game! I'm just going to end this part here because I've just said enough.

Anyway, the rest of the episode was mainly about hookups and who did and didn't hook up with other people. There was this rumor that Bananas and Melissa had hook up and they didn't deny it so... I guess they really did. I mean, Melissa was with someone but Bananas wasn't so... Bananas is the only one that matters to me so I don't have much to talk about. They are adults and they know what they're doing. Oh, and since we're talking about Bananas, of course they had to give Devin some air time with all the vendetta with Bananas and he still insists that, if it was physical, he would still beat Bananas so... He's delusional, for sure! I'm not going to talk more about that because I don't want to give Devin the 'air time' here on my blog so, there's that.

Well, I guess I covered all the topics in this episode.

Overall, it was a little poor but I liked that Cara Maria won so, that's great!

I wasn't aware that the new Champs vs Stars season started yesterday as well so there's going to be a new Challenge rant right after this one so, double dose of challenge! There's no Bananas in this season though so, it's not going to be good... I'm just curious to see Drake Bell, like really curious and excited about that!

So, that's it! Let me know your thoughts on all of the topics above. Are you happy that Cara Maria won? Who would you like to have won? Let me know everything and I'll see you in a bit with a new The Challenge (and then The Flash) rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Challenge: Vendettas | Season 31 Episode 10 - "Rumor Has It"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello guys and welcome to a brand new week full of rants!

As usual, we're starting with The Challenge, and what a big episode we have to talk about!

This episode was a really antecipated one because of the whole Devin/Bananas thing and oh my not only that was bomb but also the other drama with Kayleigh, which I'll get into that in a minute.

The episode started with the end of last episode, with Bananas and Devin talking and then Devin going to Kailah and Tony for them to send Bananas in. We didn't see much more and then we moved on to the Troika 'nominations'. This time, it was pretty quick and they chose, obviously, Bananas, Nelson and, surprisingly, Leroy. I mean, I get the whole thing about breaking Bananas and Leroy alliance but... Who dares to send Leroy?! Like, he's the sweetest person in the house, really so... I don't know how can people dislike Leroy, to be honest.

Anyway, after that, Devin decided to start up a rumor - that Bananas and Kayleigh had hooked up, which just started a big big mess between everyone in the house, really. But, what's really dumb about that 'move' is that what does it do to Bananas?! I mean, the only was that Natalie basically stopped 'working' with him and trusting him but then, there was Kayleigh to replace her so... What's the deal really?! What it did do was create a whole mess between the girls, more exactly Kailah, Jemmye and Britini against Kayleigh. All because the three girls were on 'Natalie's side' and since all of them, including Kayleigh, were on the same room and Natalie felt uncomfortable having Kayleigh there. And then, this ended up like really, really badly because the three girls decided to through Kayleigh's stuff through to balcony, from the first floor to the ground floor - both her bed and her suitcase with all ther stuff in there. I got pretty mad about the whole thing! Kayleigh did too, but they managed to calm her down and she didn't really do anything to do, which I don't think it would happen to me really. I'm a pretty peaceful person and I don't like to get into fights or anything but in that moment, oh man I wouldn't even mind if I was sent home, I would just punch them! What they did was so bad, really mean and, I've always heard that, 'who is wrong, changes' (I don't know if that's just a Portuguese thing but...). If Natalie doesn't feel comfortable in there, she should be the one to leave, not Kayleigh, mostly because she didn't even do anything, it was all a rumor. Anyway, in the end, even TJ called them out and said that it was really bullying (which it was) and if it ever happened again, they would be sent home so... When TJ calls you out, you know it is really bad! And, if I didn't like them before, I dislike them even more!

Anyway, this whole thing dragged basically throughout the whole episode and it almost made us forget about the elimination but no, it did happen and it was such a surprise!

When it came to choosing someone to go against Devin, it went as expected... In some ways... Zach chose Nelson, Kailah chose Bananas and then, the (not so) big twist... Tony chose Bananas! I can't really say I was surprised because they were making a big deal out of this whole thing so, I knew this could happen. Obviously I was hopefull that he would choose Nelson and, to be honest, I would choose Nelson as well like, just like Bananas said in the Inquisition, Bananas never said Tony's name and he has always protected him. Besides, if you're on Bananas side, even if he wins, you can always get third place and win some money anyways. I know it's not first place but, it's better than to go home empty handed, right?! Anyway, Bananas went against Devin and... You can say I'm bitter at how it ended but, I just think they did on purpose like, to choose that type of challenge for the elimination. It was really a case of luck and any of them could win really. If it was something physical, I'm 100% that Bananas would win. And yeah, Devin did win against Bananas, which just got me really mad and, I don't know... I just don't like anyone left really... I mean, I think I'm going to be rooting for Leroy and Cara Maria now because, apart from those, I don't like any of them. I despise Kailah, Britni, Jemmye, Kam and Brad. I hate Devin and I don't really like Nelson either so. Oh, and I totally forgot to mention, in the end, Kayleigh decided to leave as well because of everything that happened. I don't blame her really, I think I would do the same, but really, I just hope she would punch those girls because that's what they deserved. Also, forgot to mention but I think you all know that Devin won a grenade so, let's see what he chooses. 

I don't know what's going to be like the Challenge from now on because it seems like the main 'dramas' are over so... But Leroy said in an Podcast that something would happen with him that would change the way he plays the game. He even said it was wrost that what happened with Camila so, I can't wait for that really.

So, I guess that's it for now. It's going to be boring from now on but let's see, they can surprise me. Let me know what you thought about all the events that took place in this episode and I'll see you guys in a bit with a new The Flash rant!

Love,

Daniela.
