re: The Challenge s39 - battle for a new champion

Shocked yall hate this season so much. May be I’m just infatuated with Nurys but I haven’t found it terrible. So glad to see Jay eliminated.

My wife is convinced she doesn't have nipples.

they need to bring back the skulls or whatever and force people to earn their way to a final by at least going to 1 elimination. This final is kind of a sham

Hope you guys are watching Traitors on Peacock it is so damn good

Caught up on the last couple episodes today. How in the world does Ed fall into the water on rappelling episode after María’s man fell in? That has to be the biggest braindead move of all-time. Not surprised Corey fell as he’s a total choke clutz, but come on Ed. You had one job dude.

The whole season is basically a wrap and a given that Emmanuel wins. No one else is even close. Nurys would be if ther wasn’t the strength difference between a man and a woman, but the final is a landslide at this point due to the weight that had to be carried.

Also, not surprising that the dumbass dropped a rope, but why did Corey walk back with all the ropes to the point he dropped the first rope? Couldn’t he just drop all the others in place, walk back without the ropes, pickup the dropped one, and then only walk with all of them once you get back?

Dude is soft as Charmin and also a dumbass lol

Emmanuel is so damn stupid for not choosing Corey. I hope Nurys wins now just because she keeps getting shite on.

And holy shite in the next one you can sabotage other people. Nurys better win or else everyone is gonna dump their squares onto her and frick her again.

I’m glad she won. She is beasting this the last week or two.

And Moriah lost in the first thing she was even remotely required to compete in? I’m shocked.

Seems like the chair is the obvious choice if you have the first pick, no? I guess the blanket is a decent choice since you can’t fall asleep but it seems to me like comfort and saving your arse/back in a chair is the choice.

2,000 meter swim. Nice. That’s like 1.25 miles.

So there’s an equalizer where they release them “based on when they arrive from the rappel.”

Berna ready to quit because she has to drink like 10 ounces of some shite?

Corey is competing to show the gays that they are strong and can compete. And now he’s freaking out and bawling like a bitch because he’s scared and can’t do it. Nice.

Having to rappel down forward is different. Seems a lot harder and more awkward.

This is a boring final. I’m finding myself FFWDing through some of it.

Good for Emmanuel. I wanted either him or Nurys to win based on who made the final.

Man it would be great if Colleen could come back and win third because Corey can’t do a balance beam for ten feet. Congrats, bro. You’ve just let down all of the gays. And doing a balance beam seems like the sort of thing that a gay should be decent at.

I do hope next season is a bit of a return to form though. This was definitely a down season for sure.

Cory and the balance beam was insane, how can someone not get across that. I never would have thought that was even close to an issue watching the other eliminations

Also, if Kyland and Horacio ran this final it would've been a close race between them and Emmanuel (and maybe Nurys). I think Kyland would've won it all based on his analytical way of looking at puzzles and shite.

But Emmanuel, Nurys, and Colleen is basically the best case scenario for me for who won based on all the hateable people that made the final. So I'm good with the podium and Corey and Berna losing.

Way too many puzzles this year. I see they wanted the females to be able to compete with the males and they had to do puzzles as an equalizer but it makes for boring tv. Nurys was always last or next to last in anything physical. She should not have been anywhere close to Emanuel or even Corey.

No big personalities this year either. Horacio being one of the best at the physical part of the game but having zero social game was odd and made the show boring. James looked like a bodybuilder but again had zero social game. He just did whatever Moriah told him. Emanuel was like a boring Jordan. Good all around athlete but pretty quiet.
