Cory is a bigger baby than Josh.

Was there an episode this week?

Was there an episode this week?

If so my DVR didn’t record it.

No episode due to thanksgiving.....that's what the website said.....

I skimmed through most of this last episode.

The elimination wasn’t fair based on who went in there, but aviv has had a leg or foot injury for a few weeks so they probably wanted to purge her out before the final anyways.

Seems like the remaining women’s cast is stacked.

Really hope it’s Derek who goes home next week. A final of bananas vs Jordan vs kyland vs Cory would be great.

Previews of next week made it look like all 10 made the finals....which sucks IMHO.

They picked targets for next week, tho.

They always do a purge to get it to 6 for the bulk of the final

It was the same thing with Josh. His knee was totally fkd, according to Bananas' pod, which is weird they never covered that. They leave so much **** out.

Years ago there was an elimination on one season that was a great match up, but because I had watched one of their “this season on the challenge” previews after an episode, I knew going in who would win because they showed a clip of one of the players in the elimination in scenes that hadn’t aired yet.

Because of that I don’t watch previews anymore.

Cory. My gosh.

I mean, brilliant strategy by Derek. It did seem obvious what the “puzzle” was.

So glad Cory didn't get to 4 elimination wins when two of them were against one-legged guys.

Also loved when Cory bragged that he beat Bananas last final. Bro was dead last in every game at the beginning of the final (I think there were 5 of them), ran an otherwise OK final, then got the dune buggy advantage and drove past Johnny. Everybody who remembers what actually happened isn't impressed. Jordan saying he wanted Cory in the final tells the tale.

Epic elimination match up. Hey, how about we just see who can tread water the longest.

wtf mtv.

Tory on Bananas' pod. They're as thick as thieves again. I was a little surprised. I knew they'd be friends again, but apparently she already apologized to him in the show, they just didn't show it.

And this is hilarious...Devin freaking out because his interpretation of events is Bananas is trying to ruin his life....on Vendettas, Johnny was with Natalie and toward the end of the game, Devin told her (a lie) that Bananas was hooking up with Kaylee behind her back all season. She and Johnny fell out over it and they haven't talked since.

So far the finale does seem too swimming focused.

Pulling for Jordan to win it all. He’s off to a good start. But you never know what terribly unfair “twist” they break out to make it more competitive.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Happy with the finale results.

Insane how long this season was. Feels like it’s been going on since this summer.

Karma vote seemed dumb imo.

Bananas said that the most he had swam in any final was half the length he swam on one checkpoint in this final.

Jordan coasted to that final and not that he wouldn't fare well in any final, this definitely was a format in his favor. It would've taken prime Wes to beat him.

This season made me like Kyland, and I'm finally forgiving him for Big Brother.

If Michelle can't place top 2 in an all-swimming final, I'm not sure she can ever win one.

Very cool the way Jenny and Rachel got to share the $. Bananas angels walked away with $500k total. Not bad.

Take the swimming out and make it a more traditional final and I think Jordan still wins. Kyland possibly gets second over Bannanas also.

Johnny is in his 40s now.

I can see Kyland winning in the future.

And I agree on Michelle. She impressed me this season but if she didn’t win this one … not looking good.

IMO Jordan and CT the best to ever do it.
