[Headspace]

[Headspace]

Nia da real MVP

[tyven]

shit i didnt realiz Nia was the same chick that attacked that dude with a hairdryer and that said dude + gf were also on this challenge. man that is dramatic. I guess there is no residual beef. did no one get sent home from that season of real world?

They showed flashbacks of the clips from Nia's season throughout the Challenge. Her and Avery went at it. Nia was throwing full punches at Johnny, Avery, and Jordan during the Real World. I don't recall them sending her home for any of it.

yeah for some ridiculous reason I dont remember any of them getting sent home. it was toward the end of the season so they all just stayed separated after that

[Byrd]

I guess there's a S#!t they Should Have Shown episode tonight. That could add a bunch to the scoring, meaning maybe, just maybe, someone will have a chance to catch Valisk. Unlikely, but possible.

[Xno Kappa]

Nia nasty as hell.

[Valisk]

Jay and Jenna might fuck around and not even finish the final. There needs to be a 12 hour time limit after the first team crosses the finish line.

Bad thing is I lost 50 points for Jay/Jenna quitting. Might be a closer finish than we expected.

Edit: Fuck, I lost 90 points due to TJ being disgusted by Jay/Jenna's performance.

[tyven]

LOL

[Moss]

Teej berating the fuck out of Jay and Jenna was the highlight of the final. But really though you can't drink nasty shit for $15k? Trying to sleep in the freezing cold on a tiny bed would be worse than that.

"Jay.... ARE YOU CRYING?!" hahaha, TJ is a savage. Can't believe Jay gave Jenna all that shit at the beginning of the final for walking and not trying, then quit himself. Earlier in the final, he kept saying "I want to prove we aren't the lay up they think we are" while DEEP in 3rd place. I was like bruh, that ship has sailed, sunk, and rotted.

Also good job by MTV editing to show Jay and Jenna's Twitter handles with the booming sound effect after Jay said "They are going to kill us on Twitter for quitting" or something along those lines. Clever.

[Xno Kappa]

Even this final seemed kinda tame compared to previous ones. Jay got no business participating in one ever again lol. Jenna was wack too, it was blatant she was looking for a way out and hoping for Jay to quit.

[tyven]

i was disappointed that the 2nd day was only a mountain climb. not that climbing a mountain is an easy task it just wasnt the most exciting thing to watch LOL. also it was fucked up that jordan and sarah only got a 5 minute head start when they finished day 1 well over 5 minutes ahead

"I'm going into shock!"

From drinking a fish drink? Child please.

Yeah they are both pathetic, hope they are never on the show again.

I feel like they need to incorporate some head-to-head aspects into the final. This one was never in doubt thanks to Leroy's swimming (seriously dude wtf) despite the 5 minute advantage for the last leg, which was also pretty bs.

yeah that's what I'm saying. even when they edit it to make it seem close, it just doesnt make good TV. need some head-to-head stuff, or maybe incorporate mini events with a point system. bunim murray get at me

Yes! I like the mini events idea. Some more head to head to head shit that determines how big of a head start you get. I guess they technically tried that, but it wasn't h2h2h. They were competing to do tasks themselves against time more so the other teams. We need some 3 team duel/dome type final challenges.

And I don't know about yall, but the eating/drinking challenges are the lamest events to me. Letting your tastebuds and gag reflexes dictate the outcome of anything is pretty wack. Low key, I think MTV contributed to Diem's death. That peanut butter challenge fucked up her colon where the cancer had spread. Although she knew about the colon cancer prior to the filming, MTV shouldn't have let her compete. Not when you have colon cancer and you can't even maintain a proper diet in these getaways for 6+ weeks or whatever it is. The dome challenge where you had to wager how many items your partner could eat... WACK!

^ completely right about eating challenges..

Maybe they do that "wrestle the stick away" game except it's an oar for the kayak, and the winner gets it. Or the rock toss game (which was a fucking fail of a design, they made it way too hard) decides how many glasses of fish drink the other teams have to drink.

I'd say the eating challenges are a test of mental toughness, as lame as that sounds. It's kind of mind over matter type thing to eat disgusting shit. You are right though, no one cares to watch that, not entertaining.

Scoring for STHHS which was, IMHO, really sad. No fighting points, no coitus points. I'm glad it's back, but it was boring.
Zach naked in the very first scene. Well done, sir.
Jordan lost his bathing suit while swimming.
No "Survive the Episode Points" awarded here

Scoring for Finale:
Jay and Jenna made TJ disgusted as a team, so they both get docked.
Jay made the decision to quit, though, so he gets the negative for that. Jenna was willing to keep going, so she did not get quitting points.
J&J do get participation trophy points, even though they didn't finish.
Sarah and Jordan victorious -- 100 points each.
Leroy and Theresa get second place -- 50 points each.

I tried to watch the reunion, but Bananas' hypocritical self-righteousness is so over the top as to be unbelievable. Then again, he might be doing it strategically to try to get paired up with Sarah in the next Rivals challenge.

Thank you based Nia
