Didn’t Jenna eventually admit the Bruno hookup really did happen? I know Amanda is a pain in most people’s ass, but I do think she’s one of the least entitled vets out there.

Wait, Tiffany considers Alyssa Lopez an alliance member? Didn’t they beef last season of The Challenge? Even after the season?

Amanda often gets pretty nasty, but it’s usually against people that are generally intolerable (Camilla, Zach, Bananas) or became more intolerable (Cara Maria). So this beef with Michele annoys me.

Ugh, I generally do quite like both Amanda AND Michele, and can’t believe fucking Fessy of all people is the cause of this

I know Bananas has been around for nearly two decades, but has anyone from the show ever point blank said what his appeal is? At least the other vets are funny, messy, and/or charming, but I find Bananas to be as charismatic as a toadstool. And no, I don’t consider someone entertaining just because they’re attention-seeking or gimmicky. What am I missing with him?

Michele got a shit ton of airtime in the premiere. I won’t complain, even if she’s far messier than she ever was on Survivor. Damn it, I was hoping she would get along with Jonna and Wes.

Cory came the closest to not shouting anyone out, though his one shoutout was a little understandable. I think it’s a good sign for Matt that Hisam named the others in the Handful (Riley, Blu, Jag, Cameron) but not him, in terms of who is in the other alliance. CBS couldn’t spring for closed captioning for Matt in the DR? That was appalling on their end

I wonder if Cirie quit her job? I think American said on the most recent episode that she quit her job.

I’m wondering if The Traitors not being a CBS show means that production doesn’t want any mention of Cirie on it? I don’t believe Matt ever learned ASL. He had years of speech therapy as a child.

It’s Mecole’s nickname

I’m puzzled by why so many people wanted to avoid being HOH this week when they can get the least amount of blood on their hands than most HOHs (by being able to “save” 2 people)

Can the people in the have not room just not close the door to avoid that contrived wheel and boot exercise?

Whose blood was Megan cleaning at the cabin in an earlier episode? Luke barely had any from his ear gunshot wound, and Megan was never actually pregnant. So what was the point of that scene?

As to why Isabella claimed to the woman on the plane that her name is Lisa, I just attributed that to her taking the name of former “friends” of hers. Like, wherever she ends up after Ibiza, she’ll probably tell the next person her name is Megan. It makes about as much sense as most of the writing this season.

So characters like Jeff and Parker were essentially pointless this entire season? Was Ned the one messaging Megan about a job offer? I wonder if the sheriff is in trouble for essentially protecting the Chambers at all costs, up until Brent’s confession? How did Isabella afford a last minute ticket (and it didn’t look like coach, either) to Ibiza? Not a single mention was made of Megan’s pregnancy, or how it would end, in the finale?

I’m going to throw a wild theory out there and speculate that Parker is the one who meets Luke on the dock. She was suspiciously absent this episode, and likely saw firsthand just how toxic Brent (her ex) and Steve are. Maybe she’s helping him escape?

I liked Andrew’s glasses.

I think Luke’s actor did some good work here. I swear, Isbaella and Megan are losing brain cells with each passing episode. They’re leaving their victim, who is still alive and doesn’t seem to be gravely injured, alone to potentially escape and point out that Isabella shot him?

Did production secretly want Cole out of this game? I’m suspicious of the timing of the piano suddenly appearing on the clue wall. I feel like nobody is ever correctly going to guess who Chris is related to.

Challenge fans: does anyone else think that Karsyn resembles Jemmye?

I totally missed that Isabella moved to Parker’s in the 2000 timeline after leaving Megan’s.

Sorry, I meant Jeff instead of Matt. Thank you! I wonder why Harper was at Megan’s home in the first place? From what we’ve seen so far, they don’t have much of a relationship. Was Harper there to see Isabella? Or did that overhearing scene take place outside of Megan’s home?

When did Matt and Megan officially start dating? I feel like we didn’t see the beginning of that, and all of a sudden they’re in a relationship? I assume Luke is purposely trying to drive a wedge in between Isabella and Megan? I can’t figure out why else he’d not only lie about Isabella initiating that kiss after the plunge, but why he brought it up at all. Isabella and Megan: storing Luke’s blood on your property? Oy.

I’m a little surprised that hostile was a TS.

Happy to see no Steve (Luke’s and Brent’s father, whatever his name is) this episode. What a reveal about Lisa!
