Yep. No excuse for that.

Finally got to watch the episode last night. Need some more of them Kayleigh and Amanda coitus points and Shane is looking to deliver big next week lol. I’ve been enjoying the last few episodes. A lot of fresh new drama giving some much needed facelift to the series.

Cara on the other hand, Jesus Christ... Absolutely pathetic. I think I’ve said this before, when she first started out I always wondered why she seemingly always had people hating her. She was portrayed as someone innocent who more or less kept to herself and was simply bullied. As the seasons went on I started to believe more and more perhaps it’s something about her character they’ve been editing out. The last two or three seasons they’ve seem to completely embrace this childish self-entitled attitude of hers.

Yeah, they didn't go into too much detail back in the day on why they all hated her but I always figured it was legit. No one deserves to get bullied but I always figured she was doing something to get under people's skin. I think I remember Bananas or somebody explaining once and I think it was related to her "playing the victim" thing and bring mopey all the time, essentially playing up the "everyone is so cruel to me" victim card.

Agreed. The only flaw in the ointment was TJ changing the format. As a viewer, I do wish she'd set it up so that two elite teams were going against each other, though. Can you imagine a Bananas/Tony vs. Zach/Amanda showdown? I can appreciate her trying to set it up so nobody she was allied with was eliminated. I do think she missed a chance to knock out a team above her in the social and physical pecking order, though, when she focused on knocking a team out below her. I think that probably improved her chances of making the final by keeping her allies, but probably did not improve her chances of winning the game overall by keeping the stronger teams around.

I don't like bringing in mercenaries at this point. Feels like an unfair advantage to Hunter and Ashley to have a shot to get back into the game.

By the way, I'll score Hunter and Ashley if they get into the game, but nobody can pick them up as a free agent unless someone else DQ's for reasons beyond their control (injuries, family issues, partner DQ'ed, etc.).

What happens to the losers of this Elimination? Do they go to Redemption House? Or just straight home? I look forward to seeing the look on everyone's face at Redemption House if Ashley and Hunter walk in the door.

Scoring for the week, not including Episode Survival Points.
Joss & Sylvia win elimination (15)
Kam & Kayleigh win challenge (10)
Rest of green team kind of wins challenge (5)
Sylvia crying (5). Fake crying, but still tears.
Faith intentional nudity - mooning the rest of the cast (10)
Kam commish points for a well executed plan (5)

Ruined one of the best challenge episodes in a long time with a stupid gimmick

You just disincentivized creative and strategic planning in the voting process.

Scoring for Week 8:

Spoiler: show

Next week, I'll be on vacation, so you won't see scores probably until the following Monday or so.

**Xno Kappa** · 2018-08-29 11:13

Shane was fucking amazing this episode lmao. The way he got under Jozea’s skin was simply amazing. I can’t imagine how much of an insult it must be for one diva gay dude to call another diva gay dude a bottom lmao.

**Byrd** · 2018-08-29 11:31

There are more Unsigned Free Agents in the main house than there are players on my team.

That's probably not a good thing.

**Xno Kappa** · 2018-09-05 15:42

Jesus Christ Jozea and Da’vonne are like fucking cockroaches lol.

No kidding. Devin/Simone needed like 4 skull pulls to have as much progress as this back on Rivals? Exes? I forget which season that was.

I'm kind of catching up on a lot of tv lately. I liked Kam's idea like I like all silly overcomplicated plans that probably result in the same thing, or something close to it. At least they somewhat broke from that this past week, and maybe with seeing how the ties work may throw a wrinkle in there too. What would they do anyway if there's ever a round when there are an even number of teams? With purges and returns, who knows if we'll ever see an even # round til it's so late that they can't even really bother with these shenanigans.

They're good enough to beat Paulie and Natalie... twice.

**Xno Kappa** · 2018-09-11 23:03

Shouldn’t I have 4 active players? Amanda, Kam, Kaileigh, and Shane. I might be misreading the score sheet but I don’t think I’m getting credit for Kam.

Crazy next week is already the last episode. I wanna know who the fuck body slammed the shit out of Zach.

Yes. For some reason, I had Shane and Tori mixed up between you two. The colors were right, the label was wrong, and the spreadsheet goes off the label. It's fixed now.

It's not. They advertised the "last episode is rapidly approaching." That doesn't mean next week. But yeah, there's some intense shit coming up, very curious who takes on Zach, the biggest dude there. Paulie seems like the most likely candidate, but who knows?

This week's results:

**Vil** · 2018-09-12 08:37

Yeah, that was just the "midseason trailer" or whatever they call it. I think that usually happens lately when there are about 6 or so episodes remaining.

Shout out to Joss and his CT impersonation. Joss doing those for various people has been a fun little recurring thing this season.

**Vil** · 2018-09-18 21:29

At least there's something to talk about, unlike some of the early episodes/half of the episodes on recent seasons. Unfortunately it's basically about how catty and terrible some of these people are. What's with these episodes this season where Marie is one of the people who ends up looking the best?

"Lavender Losers" heh. "Go home!" "Nobody likes you!"

I know that they need some of these people just to at least allow for some drama and all that, but it seems like every episode, I'm adding more people to the "I wouldn't mind them not coming back" list.

Pretty much. Cara is corny and annoys me but damn if they didn't find a scenario to make her look better. Ashley is a psycho and Amanda is an evil cunt.

I used to not mind Kaleigh but outing someone isn't exactly an equivalent response to them snickering while other people bully you. Makes sense there isn't much between her ears if she's interested in Nelson.
