I hope Nurys wins now just because she keeps getting shite on



I like Nurys, she’s one of the hottest to be on the show imo, but this narrative that she got screwed over by her alliance is just weak.

It’s easy to take her side because Jay was annoying as hell, but no one turned on her. She is the one that broke the alliance because she got into a relationship with Horacio, who 100% was not aligned with the guys she was supposed to be with and either he or Kyland would have tried to take them out. Period.

The way the elimination format worked, she couldn’t be saved because she absolutely would have broken the line and saved Horacio, who then would have saved Kyland, which would have screwed over two other people in the alliance.

They did save her for last when they could, but once the numbers dwindled there was no way to keep her safe without screwing someone else over.


Yes, Jay is a tool and sucked having to watch him be safe all season, but no he did not screw Nurys over or betray her or whatever and her playing the victim card is lame and annoying.


She’s still perfect though

I think Kyland would've won it all based on his analytical way of looking at puzzles and shite.



I think he’s still there trying to solve that duck puzzle from the elimination, while Cory finishes the balance beam

That’s good news.

I still say they should throw unlimited money at an all star cast to get the OG GOATs together on one show. I know most are done (and older) and have no interest but maybe they’d reconsider if enough money was offered. Landon, Alton, etc. People like that. Just have a season of true all stars, unlike that shite on P+ (which I do like that show but most of the people are far from all stars).

And go pure old school with challenges and game setup. It would be the best season in 15 years.

This. Bring back Kenny and Evan
The kids now just work out 24/7 and don’t drink or party and more worried about their social media followers. I miss the old challenge days.

Do they make the finals terrible on purpose now? I miss the old finals. The last 3 plus seasons the finals have been terrible. It’s just 2 episodes of longer regular challenges.

They also used to do eliminations in cargo shorts.

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.

I feel like if they just listen to the fans they could make the challenge so much better than it is now but they refuse the to listen.

About to start the challenge all stars and world championships. Have yet to watch any of those. I’m excited for the nostalgia of the cast members.

Americas 5th sport lives on

The reunion shows are always too long and get boring after the major drama points are discussed. I just hope they bring on John Banana to confront Moriah/James at some point.

Not as entertaining as I thought it would be. Devin's "Champion of the losers" was great though. I was hoping he'd say something like that and he did.

Not even close, I agree. It looks like maybe they saved the better stuff for part two. IMO the problem is the reunion doesn't have to be fricking TWO 90-minute episodes. They're trying to milk it for everything they can and it feels like it. That makes for boring TV.

Nobody gives a shite about watching vets and this cast "compete" in a trivia contest. Viewer questions where the cast has to pull the sticks out of the sand on whether they answer it or not is also incredibly stupid and makes for boring TV. Just get them together and talk about the drama bullshite and call it a day. You could do that in a single 60-minute episode, or maybe one 90-minute one.

And half the time you can tell they want to say something but they keep quiet about it. Like don't even bring something up if you aren't gonna expound on it and tell us what is going on. Like Laurel's "I can't wait to spill the tea" type of comment; that ended up being an absolute nothing-burger. There's no need to watch them fumble around random comments and make non-explained innuendos for three full hours.

I suspect next week the "fight" between Asaf and Kyland will end right where we saw it start and they are just using that pretend drama to get viewers to tune in.

What was Laurel even referring to? I watched it last night and already forgot.

Something to do with her friendship with Cara? Looks like Nicole and Laurel will be a big part of All Stars 4, unfortunately.

That her and Cara not saying Michelle's name wasn't planned/just a coincidence. Like Cocomo said...Nothing Burger

I don't even remember what that was in reference to. Was it this season when they came in during Chaos mode?
