I noticed her scar last week plus the blood and assumed something happened. Then she cut her finger and was like oh maybe I was wrong and the scar happened after the show. They then got to the slingshot and I thought oh no. That was brutal and a sh*t way to go out.

Let's be honest it is your fault Jordan, Aneesa can't walk fast on stable ground and you go off trail?

Devin has improved his cardio, and Tori will benefit greatly doing puzzles with him, but she wins by 10+ hours if this is solo. It's kind of funny watching a team have to go at the guys pace. #sexist

Maybe its lost in editing, but this final seems fairly easy. Its run on decent terrain, in decent weather, and do an easy challenge. Exercise bike was wack, Slingshot wack, water portion wack, eating portion wack, car pushing wack. And if you are 5 hours behind it's ok, because none of it is timed.

Agree....seems pretty lame compared to past finals. Maybe the last 2 days will have better challenges....
I'm thinking Nany and Bananas are gonna win it....unless there more puzzles.

I'm fine with how hard the challenges have been in the final. Probably a decent amount of user error, but Olivia sliced her finger and mangled her own face. A good part of it is purely mental of having to deal with all this for 100 hrs., but unless I've missed something, there isn't any real benefit to succeeding at this point. It should be impossible for Tori and Devin to lose based on the first part of this.

After they pushed the cars there was a timer that came on screen that said 47 hours remaining, then it fell to 40 hours remaining as they ran into the eating portion. Now I'm not much of a mathmagician but something doesn't add up.

There isn't a point to succeeding, I think maybe Devin and Tori got a minute headstart after smashing the puzzle. I would agree with it being mentally taxing, but being able to walk (Aneesa) and still be only a minute back removes any real mental struggle IMO. She is just taking a nice leisurely stroll through the woods at this point, with mildly annoying tasks along the way. Lol

All in all, the season was pretty good. Final was a little disappointing. They were trying to set it up for a tight finish. They had all the chicanery along the way to keep the teams close ([cough] so Aneesa could actually have a chance), and then they didn't even have the close finish in the end.

I don't care that the final was designed that way, but stfu about a 100-hr final. It didn't seem like they did all that much any of the days. It was basically a tough 2 day final stretched into 4 days.

I agree, pretty good season overall. Good cast, good eliminations, good dailys, it bogged down a little during the team portion, and didn't have enough explosions.

Devin meh will be fun watching him troll Josh, Fessy, Nelson, and Cory. Tori purged in a final, Kaycee getting to pick CT after being behind Tori all final, tough loses so glad she won.

"I would have won if I didn't lose" shut up you fruit loop dingus. Talking about losing because of his body weight, while every elim prior has been tailored made for his size is...well, corny.

I think the easiest solution to this final, was just make every leg worth points. Say 5 for 1st, 3 for 2nd, and 1 for 3rd. Then say in the final event Devin and Tori have 4 more points than Bananas and Nany, they can use those points to remove certain things, less sand or chains or less things to pull through the wall, some pieces of the puzzle done or whatever. That makes the legs matter, and still keeps it close like they wanted.

Edit: at least the dominant team won. Aneesa and Jordan winning would have made this final design 1000 times worse.

First time since Idk when that I skipped All Star weekend completely, I dont even know who won any of the skills contests. Lol

Dunk contest was good. That was the only thing you "missed." I either didn't watch or sped watched the rest.

Never been a big all-star weekend guy. I'd rather have 6 national regular season games in a weekend than all-star festivities.

I have always watched more out of habit I guess. It's never been competitive, aside from maybe the final 5 minutes if it's close. But the last few years have been generic AND1 mixtape versions. I'm with you I would just rather watch real games. Christmas Day>>>>>>>>>>>>All Star weekend.

And Fessy is still an arrogant POS.....😆
And I still can't decide if Turbo is just joking around or just weird.....lol
New season starts soon, could be a good cast from what I saw on the preview.......

The turbo thing was perfect. I thought he'd be done forever but they found a way to ingratitude him with fans and the cast. The campiness made his ****-talking disarming. It's the first time Turbo has ever tolerated himself being part of the butt of the joke.

Agree. He does have a good sense of humor but is quick to anger. But is that him playing for the camera or does he have some anger issues? Nobody seems scared of him so maybe they know he's playing it up, he is an actor after all....🥴
