😂😂😂😂

Ivan V

But coach he fina win for his mama /sarcasm 😂😂

Dave Smith

If Devin makes the end....when he's the weakest guy with a skull, then I'll know its rigged AF 😂

Ivan V

Oh absolutely. If they did sabotage them it would be in the latter half of the season, bc the BLM facade is great to pull in viewers at the beginning. Then watch the final be Devin/Kyle/CT of course/Tori and like random Big T or Josh for color

Dave Smith

Yeah I'm sure production only was cool with that cuz of BLM. Any other time, they would sabotage them lol

Ivan V

I do too it's fascinating. Yea check out their First Impressions videos. Kam was in contact w Jay and Faysal during their season, and wanted to work w them, Leroy was like cool "bc my girl already knew them". She also talked about getting close w Natalie/Lolo/Aneesa etc. She implied a potential people of color arrangement it was a lot of info

Dave Smith

That's weird cuz if it that was true...why didn't Nelson get a better partner than Amber M? In theory, he should have got someone closer to BB's alliance like Lolo as a partner. Nam ain't doing shit but staying loyal to rookies. It makes sense now why Amber B chose Darrell...but if Cory had a pregame deal with them, I wonder why Faysal is the one everyone allows to run the show. I guess they view him as their shield. I wish this show had Live Feeds man lol

Ivan V

Cool I haven't yet I will check them out. Thanks Sidenote on Kam's youtube Leroy said vets-wise he pregamed w Darrell, Cory, and Nelson so hopefully the Brothers work it out this time idk

Dave Smith

Yep. Kayleigh was essential to that alliance controlling both sides. Thats why Georgia hated her so much. They called Cara's alliance a Cult in the edit. So disrespectful. Instead of telling the real story, they tell their butt hurt version of not getting their way etc... Idk if you noticed this...but Kam showed her strategic side during that season as well when she had that fake fight in front of everyone but she was secretly plotting with Kyle. I think that was why Kyle picked her as his partner after knocking out Joseph in 36. They are a good team together. And yeah that finale was all about trying to guarantee Jordan & Tori won together....and I'd argue them not winning together is why they broke up. After 35, she knew Jordan was no longer an Apex predator. If you get the chance, check out my 34 rants as well (if you haven't yet). You'll probably agree with everything Now lol https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszUL_OzA3F2kLMDw-nbzMLKMNR4HbQGa

No the other one, Kyle - to be fair he's actually ok bc he plays his trope well as the Trickster and he owns it. So he would be worse if he wasn't self aware. I know you and ev have I'm sure touched on all this, I'm just new to this Challenge world period. I'm glad to see a strong black couple in Leroy & Kam, they got done dirty in WWII for supporting Paulie and not joining the Jordan/Tori coronation. The thing that's weird about this show (and prob true for most others) is that so much of the same players come back over and over, and there's a clear hierarchy, so there's like 3 games being played and it's fascinating. Game 1 - surface level presented game, 2 - pregaming and outside relationships, 3 - productions intended story for that season. I feel like (I could be wrong): A) production may have punished Wes' pregaming by exposing ev to Laurel, then reinforcing that info w Kyle (both their rationales for how they knew had holes) B) Cara saw the writing on the wall w The Proposal (prob before then bc she went against 🍌), hence her comments about the whole thing being fishy. She got obliterated the entire finale C) "Cara's alliance" was also secured by something I had no clue about and was never mentioned in the show: Kam and Kayleighs previous partnership in another season bc Kayleigh had Joss + Rogan + Dee. It was never acknowledged. Kam was just portrayed as a blind follower, and Kayleigh was portrayed as some random Brit chick there was no reference to her playing before or doing anything substantial. D) That finale challenge was fucked up. Anyone w common sense could see how obviously messy that was in terms of sabotage.

Dave Smith

You talking about Bear? 😂

Ivan V

And I do think the edit was out to bury Paulie and Cara (and their whole masterful alliance on both sides) for essentially outwitting this Bananas person for trying to do the same thing w Laurel and the Brit chiclet teeth smiley guy (he is annoying!!!!)

Ivan V

Bro I can't wait to join this discussion finally. 34 was epic I enjoyed the whole thing, and it felt like shit production wise did not go to plan bc I have a sense of who the network favorites are/were then. I found the whole season (and others) somewhere else on the Web 😆 lol

Dave Smith

You a real one for watching that season cuz now you see why 36 is like 34.5 but without the big personalities. Production was desperate to screw them over Paulie & Cara with Leroy & Kam but now they "love" Leroy & Kam cuz of BLM. Most people can't find that season anywhere but on CBS all access so I salute you for finding episodes if you didn't use that app.

Ivan V

Dude I went back and watched War of the Worlds II all weekend- These vids you are doing are going to be so epic to watch now that I know who your talking about. I cant wait. LOL a week ago I had no references wooow

Dave Smith

😂😂😂😭😭😭

Shavon Mone’t Martin

When you said Jordan is a dorky short guy with one hand I fucking lost it! 😂😂😂😂

Dave Smith

Alec thomas

Yo that super trailer of the new season was CRAZY. It was a lot of stuff going on in it. I swear I saw josh in like 5 different fights in the 3 min trailer😂😂
