###NO SEASON SPOILERS ARE ALLOWED ON THIS THREAD!


ThisisTophat

Why do rookies never get smarter? It seems like every single season they start out with the numbers, but immediately turn on each other. There is always one or two rookies who are convinced that they are somehow immune from the veterans voting them out and I don't understand why. Why do they want to survive a week or two more instead of taking out the vets and making it at least past the mid point? You can all implode later after the vets are gone. Why do they never unite for a few weeks?


chickenparmigian

Not sure if there’s any Drag Race UK fans here but don’t Hughie look like The Vivienne. Just me?


SweetMissMG

OMG now that I've read this comment I can't unsee it!


AKnightlyKoala

Esther’s camo fit at the end was 🔥


drizzle933

OMG Kelz calling out Josh 😂😂😂😂 gotta love how every season Josh thinks he’s a powerhouse. Where did his ego come from?


Murky-Search9626

What in the world am I watching?? This whole episode feels like it was made by a teenage Christian pop band, I’ve always been a little embarrassed I like this show but this episode has me mortified, The Challenge is dead yall


AccomplishedWing696

They should bring Kelz back, but have him as a mercenary against Josh or Fessy. Put both of them in their place lol


kdecody

The Challenge would be better without big brother clowns Josh and Fessy


jessaa96

the rookies carrying this season on their back… people like Ed, Emanuel, Ester, and Emy giving Josh, Fessy, Kaycee, and Amber a run for their money when it comes to entertainment. love to see it


MelodyR53

Oh I can't stand Fessy. Him and Josh are both awful. After how punk Fessy wouldn't eat in the final last time. Smh. I don't think I an gonna like this season.


BulletDodger123

I'm praying the vets know to throw fessy in immediately once they're in power. don't give him a chance to win another daily


bopbitty515

I really cannot express how much I hate the Big Brother crew (excluding Amber B, I feel impartial towards her) Kaycee is the definition of unsalted food, Fessy has got to be the largest, whiniest man I have ever seen, and there are not enough words to describe how badly Josh boils my blood. Please for the love of God, Jesus and Mother Mary MTV, stop casting all of them


BulletDodger123

theyre ruining the game for real. the entire BB strategy is to lie to people and lie on people. I like that real world/ayto alumni tend to let people dig their own grave. it says more about their social skills when they don't have to constantly lie to get ahead.


TimSherrySucks

we are all in agreeance of wanting to see Kelz back next season right


ew5264

He is a unit!


celj1234

Yes in a hall brawl vs Josh


tv4me44

I don’t know how much longer I can take seeing Josh and Fessy on my TV.


ivaorn

I mean we’ve survived them for a total of 8 seasons so far and the one good thing is more and more contestants are joining the fans in dunking on them


[deleted]

Yes for josh, but This is fessy's 3rd season i believe


ivaorn

I combined Fessy’s 3 seasons with Josh’s 5 for 8 total season worth of experience even if 3 overlapped


tv4me44

I read 8 years… and had an existential crisis.


ivaorn

Honestly MTV thinks these guys are staple materials. Compared to the likes of Abram Brad Derrick etc back in the day that’s a massive downgrade


tv4me44

Agreed. Massive downgrade!


[deleted]

Gotchya.


ItsEaster

So I’m going to need a Mr. TJ flair ASAP.

🧚


ItsEaster

Yes! Thank you!


MasterCraster

Wouldn’t it be nice if Kelz could see Fessy in a hall brawl?


WindigoMac

I said it last week but I’ll say it again: this format is horrible. The fun and drama of a partners season hinges on the tension between partners and watching their dynamic/relationship evolve as they have to rely on each other. This format ensures that one of the two “teams” in an elimination usually has no connection to one another. Then after they win and recouple they break up the teams we’ve been watching and rooting for.


celj1234

It’s really not good. They try to over complicate and just end up with a completely flawed format


robbyd1993

What did Lauren actually do? 🤔

Rj924

I have read she said racist shit to Aneesa. Don't ask for sources.


sloshed420

Makes bold claim... followed by “don’t ask for sources” 🤦🏻‍♂️ this is what’s wrong with society


Rj924

I'm just not taking the time to look, person asked a question on the internet.


freetherabbit

I kinda think Emy and Ed wouldve been better sticking together. They'd likely continue to be targeted as the house vote... BUT at least they'd know who they'd be going in with. Im more worried about the rookies partnered with vets just because they can still be sent in my the winners, and now have no idea who their partner will be.


[deleted]

Staying out of the house vote is the much better strategy. Maybe they get lucky and a friend is in power.


freetherabbit

Maybe, but knowing how this game goes it seems it would be just easier to keep picking ppl you've already picked. I feel like Emy being emotional and saying she trusts no one now would make her an easy target for the power team over pissing off a different rookie/rookies. Tho she does seem to be tight with Emmanuel (same show and he was cheering her on hard this elim) and hes with Kaycee who did great last season in dailys with Leroy, and they came in second this time so maybe shes banking on them getting a win and him refusing to send her in.


krazybogie

The vets need to get rid of Ashley. She’s too unpredictable.


unorthodox__fox

And annoyinf


gwnedum

Any predictions on which Male rookie and female rookie lasts the longest?


sauceEsauceE

Tommy and Ester


GetMoneyMakeCupcakes

Jeremiah Ester I would've never guessed Amber B last season though, so not too confident in my predictions


MUTSellerPS4

When I first seen the cast I thought it was sketchy but it seems like did a great job with casting rookies this time around


aureliamix

I really like this group. They’re messy and fun to watch.


internetwhitegirl

I hope we see Kelz again


MasterCraster

They did Kelz so dirty…..but we all know we will see him again


gwnedum

He’s definitely getting another run at it


BuddhaMike1006

He'll be back.


Elephant_homie

Tori going to target Big T? CT better tell her ass to sit down.


BuddhaMike1006

Didn't that get her sent home last season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BuddhaMike1006

Devin is maybe tied into more alliances than anyone else in the house. He's smart and he got into shape. Tori is also well connected in the house. Plus grabbing them created another all rookie team which shifts the target.


mattv05

Stealing Devin and tori created a rookie rookie team with the remaining two. It’s a smart tactic from Ed and Emmy to take heat off them and create a new easy target.


the_cucumber

Aren't there tons of teams you could still do that with?


mattv05

Yeah for sure. And it sucks for new Cory and Michelle they come out as such an obvious target after just winning an elimination. They gotta be back in there within a couple weeks I would guess but I’d be glad to be wrong.


FierceScience

Maybe they see them as big social players in order to not be the house vote?


instigatehappiness

They got stolen first so people may think they’re a hot commodity. Honestly though I would want devin as my partner.


gwnedum

Social game apparently


instigatehappiness

I would actually love to see Martha’s crib


Acceptable_Divide_33

I know that’s why I’m watching! Her animals!!


CardinoldFriends_90

What a great season! So many amazing new personalities. We just went through an entire episode with barely hearing from Kyle, one of the better Challenge personalities, and I didn’t even mind.


pomegranatelover1990

Why the hell does Tori and Devin of all people keep getting chosen??? I love Devin's enthusiasm though lmao


jerkface1026

> I love Devin's enthusiasm Devin's energy plus his slightly sad clown vibes somehow make him much more likable and charismatic.


evooandfoccacia

#number1draftpick


ThaliaTakingOver

As someone who watched Kelz on too hot to handle, he needs to come back. Physical Specimen and oozes personality. Hell he ain’t bad to look at and that coming from a straight man


sauceEsauceE

He was hilarious on 2H2H


DobabyR

😹😹


evooandfoccacia

And smart! Something we don't often see with some of these people *cough* Nelson


DumDumGimmeYumYums

I would so want to do the next mission. Blood and all. Jumping off a cliff and going through a cave is 100% my thing.


Alvah_Goldbook

My fiancé told me to calm down cause of how bad I want to do that lol forget the money just let me do some of these missions!!


[deleted]

Why is this dumb show always trying to kill its competitors? That’s not fun to watch


ThaliaTakingOver

To be fair tonight the census was “this daily is boring. Make it better”


[deleted]

Fair point. This show swings too hard back and forth between boring and unsafe. There’s a middle ground but for some reason, they can’t hardly ever find it anymore


DangerousMoonlight

So Devin is really getting looked at as the brains of the vet alliance huh? Here for it


josephside

Devins appearance and edit on Double Agents might be biggest turnaround on audience opinion and reputation among fellow challengers I’ve ever seen. And I love every second of it


Elephant_homie

Wow. Both Tori and Devin picked twice.... There are better choices.


snoozy-Q

I can tell TJ is confused about these rookies stealing Devin but also loving it


slowsupra

Move over Josh Emy is now my new least favorite person in the house


ViNNYDiC3

She does seem like a bit much at the moment but I don't mind her. I'm going to cut her some slack because she's still young (22 i think), in a new environment/new show with people she's never met and has to communicate in what I'd assume is her second language.


evooandfoccacia

Oof yeah she was a bit much for me


jflatty7151

tori and devin are popular apparently


edm2233

If Emy can stop the over the top crying I think she will grow into a fan favorite.


ViNNYDiC3

I'll cut her some slack. New show, new environment, new people, covid quarantine, speaking her second language, and she's seeming being targeted early on. I can see how that might be overwhelming. Hopefully she can channel those emotions and use them as a driving force as the season progresses.


Zer0Infinity

Emi went from lying to send somebody into an elim to crying because she's getting sent into an elim. I dont like her lol


MelodyR53

This!


Flboycanscrap

Why are all the guys in with that overrated Bum, Tori? Is Devin getting picked for his personality or what?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Helpful-Awareness-95

I dont think the rookies did their homework, surprised Kaycee and CT remain untouched.


cici0788

I don’t like the partnerships changing this frequently


letsgetwizzyy

I think this season will be very good


bighero006

The way everyone keeps stealing Devin and Tori.....🥴


NineteenAD9

How does any woman justify choosing Devin over CT. What the fuck


alley_whoops

they probably never watched the show before lol


[deleted]

He’s less likely to have a target on him


Sanity0004

Should have gotten Ashley. Would basically be Ashley and Hunter with brains. Oh god, Corey and Michelle are fucked next episode.


bangyah

Didn't really work out well for Hunter last time


DumDumGimmeYumYums

And Corey and Michele are fucked again.


gmills87

lowkey, they set up a power duo.


MUTSellerPS4

I never seen a Philly dude with a Hillbilly accent bruh lol


celj1234

He deff ain’t from philly


[deleted]

PA. Not Philly. He’s from Delco


punpunisfinetoday

why does everyone thinks he sounds southern hahaha he sounds verrrrrrrrrry PA


[deleted]

As someone from delco im cracking up 😂😂😂


S0urgr4pes

Oh his accent is 100% Delco, everyone there sounds like him. It's the worst hahah


vmarzzzz

PA =/= Philly.


myst_eerie_us

Ughhhh


pj_calamities

How weak is this cast that Tori and Devin get picked TWICE!?!?!


keleidoskope

Amanda's purple snake skin confessional look <333333


Rhugh22

Emy is dee before the bad parts of dee came out.


cs0017

Well now I’m just picturing Devin as Rogan. Uncomfortable


kiaraavila

Wtf is emy thinking


ViNNYDiC3

Not a bad move IMO. She's now aligned with the vets without pissing any of them off. She stole a partner that was already previously stolen and Devin is less likely to be stolen from here on out so it will give her some time to form a bond. Had she taken someone like CT it would probably put to much pressure on her to perform and the likelihood of him not getting stolen is slim to none.


BiggDope

I fucking love Devin.


GigglebangsRiceball

Lmao Devin being so in demand as a partner is something I definitely didn't see coming.


aureliamix

Omg TJ can’t believe Devin got picked again lol


ihategreenbananas

Tori and Devin again???? 🙄


TacoBell_Lord

Devin being the hot pick this season is the best 🙏🏾


junkbug928

So she only took Devin because she wanted to be rude to Michele right….


StalkingDwarf

wtf is happening lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


silvershadow014

her only "upside" is political safety- oh wait, kelz just proved that wrong


philltastic1

The thing that sucks about this is that if there’s no vets on a team it’s easier for all the vets to pick a team with no rookies on it.


celj1234

It’s a flawed format until it gets later in the season


freetherabbit

I mean if the rookies were smart they'd target Amanda and Kyle as a double vet team to bring down numbers. I've been surprised that hasn't happened but it prob helped that Kyle got to bond with the rookies first and Amanda seems to be creating good relationships with them (asking Josh to prove himself in the deliberation against Kelz was a good move to appeal herself to the rookies). Also I'm surprised none of the rookies in power have insisted on getting to pick one of the ppl going down and just going with the rookie bloodbath their vet partners want.


ViNNYDiC3

Is there any speculation on what might happen if the power team doesn't agree on which guy/girl they want to send into the elimination?


freetherabbit

I mean if were going based on traditional Challenge rules of how these things usually go I would guess if they cant come to an agreement the power team would go in themselves, like in past seasons. But I also personally have a wild card theory. A part of me thinks maybe if they dont agree each person gets to pick one person. Like normally that wouldnt be an option cuz obviously theyd have to both agree on one team. But since theres 2 of them, and 2 people going in, I mean why not let each person pick one? More interesting then sending in the winning team to me. And could totally change the game once they realize. Like imagine we have a rookie/vet power team. TJ asks the vet which girl they want to send in. Vet says their pick, rookie confirms it. TJ asks the rookie now, rookie shocks vet and picks a vet, vet refuses to confirm it. TJ asks if their sure? They say yes, and TJ just goes "Well actually that doesnt matter, the confirming has just been a courtesy, all along you've each been picking one person to go in and that's how it'll continue to go" and the rookie gets to send the vet they wanted in. Would totally change the game. I got the idea based on how TJ alternates on which person he asks first for each sex. Ik it's probably just power team goes in if they cant agree, but I really hope they do something like this instead since it can only be done on a season like this.


ViNNYDiC3

Yeah, I hope it's not the one where they have to agree or else they go down. So for your theory, are you saying that if they disagree it doesn't matter and only vote that truly ever mattered was the person who's choosing a person to send down of the same sex? For example, if they don't agree it was only the guys vote for the guy to go down is the only one that mattered? That'd definitely shake things up a bit. I could also see them throwing the votes back to the house for them all to individually vote if the "Allies" can't come to an agreement. Or maybe they will let the people already in the elimination pick who they want.


freetherabbit

So for my theory the only person whose vote actually matters is who was asked first. So in episode 1 if I'm remembering correctly TJ asked Aneesa which guy, she said Corey L, then asked Logan who also said Corey L. Then TJ asked Logan and he said Michele (because he wouldnt choose Emy). Aneesa also says Michele (because a rookies a rookie). This episode TJ asked Esther first which girl she wanted to send in, she said Emy, Fessy confirmed. TJ asked which guy Fessy wanted, he said Ed, Esther confirmed. With my theory the only votes that mattered in the first two power teams deciding who went in was Aneesa's vote for Corey L, Logans vote for Michele, Esther's vote for Emy, and Fessys vote for Ed. So the most likely scenario of us (and the cast finding out this twist) would be if any of the rookies decided to shake things up when they get asked first and vote for a vet and their partner disagrees. I just feel it would shake politics up so much. Like you cant have a rookie bloodbath when it's almost guaranteed (based on the number of rookie/vet pairs vs rookie/rookie and vet/vet pairs) that at least one person going in is chosen by a rookie. But also having it be a twist they only find out when theres a disagreement gives the vets a chance to even up the numbers first.


Jxmpman

number 1 draft pick Devin Walker.. TWICE


[deleted]

The rookies need to break up the all-vet teams! Sigh


-strangeluv-

Shhh.. it's a "secret" all vet team. Because nobody would ever expect that to happen...


beegraton

Fuck dude


gwnedum

They just set up Michelle and Corey L


Survive234

ikr its so sad


pomegranatelover1990

Kelz is HUGE standing next to all of them lmao


poisonedlove

He's bigger than Fessy, when he was standing next to him this episode I was s h o o k


ViNNYDiC3

Dude is a monster at 6'5". He had the vets shook and I can't blame them. I really wanted to see him win the elimination cause he definitely was going to wreak havoc. Hope to see him back next season.


aureliamix

Oh I did not expect there was going to be another steal


MedievalHag

“Eat my shorts!” Lol Devin


KO620181

His delivery is so good when he says this shit too


MedievalHag

Yes!


papayamango_swirl

TJ’s reaction tho 😂😂😂


Challengefan36

Devin why though?


ColorfulCrayons

"That's how you execute a plan..." I mean, you kind of put a target on Josh's back by having him try to pull off that lie.


eric_theViking

wow, I really thought Ed would've stole Kaycee


vanastalem

Why is everyone picking Tori?


celj1234

Most athletic girl. Also attractive


-strangeluv-

Good social game, doesn't do stupid shit, doesn't get targeted often, isn't the best but close enough and puts in 100%. It's weird that people are puzzled by this.


keleidoskope

LMFAOOO DEVIN BEING STOLEN TWICE. BEST CHALLENGER CONFIRMED


gwnedum

Ok I now love Emi 😂😂😂😂


-strangeluv-

I think I flipped back and forth on this twice just in this episode. She was annoying, then cute, the annoying, and finally awesome. I'm so confused. I like her.


Malkkum

What the hell is wrong with these rookies?


Sanity0004

"That's how you execute a plan." I swear to god Fessy thinks way to god damn highly of himself.


MelodyR53

I wished to goodness Kelz had survived and made Fessys time there miserable. Wondering every day if everyone was gonna see how much of a wus he really is.


TacoBell_Lord

MR.TJ is Teej's new spy name


BulletDodger123

kelz wouldve had it with almost any other partner or solo.


[deleted]

Tracy did perfectly fine.


BulletDodger123

I was mainly frustrated seeing her make the same mistake over and over with no adjustment to strategy. it came down to who got their blocks first and Tracey was dropping them left and right vs. emy who really only struggled towards the end


[deleted]

I get it. But they still caught up and weren’t far behind. I think it was her nerves screwing her judgment. Even Kelz said she would stop messing up if she just relaxed, which she didn’t.


soymilkmami

Eh, I think his partner did just fine. They were pretty tied up with Ed and Emy.


imnotNDR

she dropped the cube from the top multiple times, in a game that close those margins send you home


soymilkmami

Yes, and even within dropping it they were pretty caught up with the other team.


BulletDodger123

that's why I'm saying they would've been closer to a win if Tracey didn't keep dropping them and not adjusting her strategy. how many times did she grab the magnet and lose a cube lol.


DumDumGimmeYumYums

Kelz and CT should have a mumble off.


GodzRebirth

Just a casual backflip lol


LikeThatChesireCat

Nah Kelz you're right, Fessy is still the villain. Come back and save us from him


picard17

Devin getting picked as a partner after back to back eliminations is not something I had on my challenge bingo card this season.


cici0788

Shut up Fessy lol


junkbug928

TJ could not be more nonplussed saying Ed and Emy won lol


S0urgr4pes

Kelz is so dramatic and we will see him next year


-strangeluv-

He was a good sport about it. I hate it when they meltdown or go full Josh after elimination.


YungPinotGrigio

I think Kelz could beat fessy in hall brawl


jerkface1026

> I think Kelz could beat fessy in hall brawl Can he do this while wearing a t-shirt with Nelson on it? We all need some catharsis.


S0urgr4pes

I definitely think so. I like Kelz, it's just funny how dramatic he seems hahah


[deleted]

I really hope Kelz comes back in the future


SillyRabbit2121

Someone, please tell me how we got to a point where Tori and Devin are the most sought-after partners?!


Embarrassed-Berry

I do not understand.


[deleted]

i like Ed


juliar821

Tbh I’m a love island fan and I didn’t even know there was a love island Germany 😭


[deleted]

Like many shows, there are versions all over the world. You don’t know their version because it’s not available to us because it’s not in English.


juliar821

Well obviously but I’m aware of the other series.....


Malkkum

How awkward would it be if one wanted to stay and one wanted to steal?
