This season is looking like a blowout. This is why if you want to have a novelty season like this, it has to be all professional athletes. Rando nobodies like the Wild n Out people and Riff Raff are not going to put up a challenge against people who do this for a living. Get rid of the "stars" and get more Olympians.

Modern Xmas Tree guy lost me when he said "with your guys's help". Can't stand it when people say "your guys's". IT MAKES NO SENSE. The vinyl player looks very cool, but it seems like a very expensive novelty. The point of listening to records instead of an ipod or whatever is that it sounds better...I don't think you're getting that sound from that box, and certainly not from Bluetooth. And what was that Pink Doughnut stuff? Is that his pseudonym? His company? Also apparently this product has existed for decades, just without the Bluetooth.

Yeah, sometimes a compliment is just a compliment. Not everything has to have nefarious sexist undertones.

I've actually used the Hater app since launch. Besides swiping for things that you hate, you also swipe people too, similar to Tinder. The whole hating thing is a cute gimmick but it still comes down to looking at people's photos and swiping right for the attractive people. There are less crazies and spambots on it though, but I suspect that will change since airing on this show. Pupbox update: Make a deal with Robert, and you too can have your company set up a table in public park! With a sign!!! I'm not sure how oatmeal is going to change the world, but I do agree that too many American foods are crammed unnecessarily with sugar. I was expecting them to have a plan for some other food products besides oatmeal. So many basic foods and condiments have sugar put in them that making a whole product line without it could work. I suspect Chick-fil-A's lawyers will be contacting Everlywell soon about that logo.

Hoopmaps may be the worst idea I've seen on this show. If I want to play a pickup game, I'm not going to think of downloading an app. And certainly nobody will pay for it. Just go to a park. The dog pads were brilliant, and I'd expect nothing less from the guy who made the kitty litter machine. I just hope it really does trap smells like he said it would. I can't think of any time I walked past a stranger and thought, "I REALLY want to give that person money." Guess I'm not charitable enough for Bravo.

CT did just win the Invasion season. It's not like he's completely over the hill. It's weird that Hunter was allowed to compete. I know in previous seasons they've sent injured people home for seemingly less than that. He already said his hand could be permanently affected. And of course the elimination he injured it in was stupidly dangerous to begin with. Who makes people run into a door blindly like that? If Jordan was unable to compete because of that landing, there's got to be some legal flexibility for him. I know MTV makes everyone sign their lives away, but that's an injury that's the fault of the "professional" he was tied to.

I think entrepreneurs are starting to figure out that Kevin is one of the best sharks to make a deal with. They avoided him like the plague in previous seasons but he already has made quite a few deals this year. Once you get past the Simon Cowell act you realize that a guy who puts utmost importance on making money is the kind of guy you want in your company. On the other hand, I like Daymond, but he just doesn't seem to get any deals anymore. Doesn't help when he's the fashion guy and hardly makes any offers to the clothing brands that come on. That family that brushes and flosses in the shower, I'm sure they pee in there too. Probably do other stuff we don't need to mention. Their drain is probably 100x more disgusting than the average house's. My pet peeve is people who say "is" twice unnecessarily. Lori did one better with a rare triple is: "The thing is is, is that this product..." With the Father Figures line, we again get an example of the sharks rejecting a business because it's too small, too early, not enough sales, etc. All this after an episode where they rail against a woman who has a product that's already very successful, and they say the show should be for the people who really need the investment and aren't just there for exposure. And when a young business like that comes on, they don't make an offer. Hypocrites. "My wife's father-in-law" will go down as a classic line.

I think Cara was really trying to go "Camillanator" on Jordan, but she just doesn't have it in her. After after winning Challenges, she just doesn't intimidate anybody. Trying to keep Jordan out of her room, floating his bag on the water...not very effective when nobody takes you seriously.

A Rod was slimy, as expected. I like that he offered to give his card to the kid so that he could contact him when he finishes college...5 years from now. I think the Gronks were just a setup to increase ratings. It's obviously football season so it's no surprise ABC would want to put a famous football player on. The store locator for the hummus isn't working; it only shows that it's sold in Colorado. Did the deal with Cuban really happen? Can't imagine he wouldn't ensure they have a working website for the airing. Total screwup. Kevin actually seemed like the right deal for the lock. His point about companies licensing things and then never using them was a good one. That is a product that could be on any household front door.

Not sure what CT was blabbing about when he got sent to the Redemption House. Of course it's a good strategy to throw him in there. Try to get rid of the strongest player. And this talk of him coming back for vengeance...he's trying to beat everybody anyway! There are no teams! Why would it be smarter to just leave him in the game and let him win every other week? He made absolutely no sense. Yeah, I know everyone likes Leroy, and he's cool and all, but he basically Darios his way through every Challenge. Doesn't win much, and expects to skate by till the end. And he's another Bananas minion. No sympathy for him here. And after all that 'Beast Mode' talk, he loses 2-0 to Hunter. Wah wah. I guess the whole house has forgiven Camilla. Strange how that whole episode was just forgotten. I know Jordan mentioned not liking her, but he certainly didn't vote for her. All she had to do was vote for Hunter, and that was it. She wasn't saving Derrick, she was just screwing the vote up for the sake of it.

We've found the lovechild of Chris Farley and Melissa McCarthy, and she's selling brushes. Are they just putting hot men on these shows as an excuse for Babs to get her jollies? It can't be a coincidence they're only on the episodes she appears in. If you're worried about your finger getting torn of how about...not wearing a ring? Just a thought.

I was cringing when TJ said they'll be locked in a "pitch black" room, and then will have to shatter glass with a weapon to go outside. Who thought that was a good idea? They heavily hinted that CT would be thrown into the Redemption House, but with this show I just can't believe anyone will target a vet until I see it. If it's not CT+John, and Cara+Camilla, I'll be disappointed again.

How about that Trippie watch party, everyone? https://www.facebook.com/trippieapp/videos/888960047925513/

Yes, these people are all idiots. They have every opportunity to gang up on the top people, but squander it every time. Still remember when Dario was in a makeshift alliance with Devin and Wes, and had the chance to throw in John a couple seasons ago. He ended up throwing in Cory or someone else who could have been an ally. These people will never learn. Nicole goes on about how she hates Camilla and wants her gone...but gives her first X to Kailah. Does nobody on this show have a backbone? I'm shocked Tony actually said CT's name. I thought he would have just spontaneously combusted at the thought of having to say a vet's name.

I don' think there's been a single time on this show where someone used their pronouns correctly. "Anthony and me had a great time." "It was hard for Nate and I to get through it." Didn't know it was that hard.

Of course these aren't the dirtiest players in Challenge history. They're just the ones MTV could get to show up. I like bringing the redemption house back. It's been just long enough since the last one that most people have forgotten about it and weren't expecting it. I'm not sure where Devin gets off saying he's this Challenge mastermind. He got eliminated in one season, was brought back because someone quit, and continued to luck out not having to go into eliminations again. He hasn't done anything.

Hmm...I think the two of them are perfectly in each other's league.

Thank you, Shark Tank Update, for reminding me that there is a person in this world named "Womby".

I'm just holding out hope that the big twist for the Final is real old school champions like Coral return as obstacles or something. Then it will finally be an actual invasion of the champions. All they had to do with this format was leave the underdogs the way they were, and have different "champions" come in every week to face them.

So you're saying...he's disrupting Shark Tank?

No bite? She only lost to Nicole 2-1, and barely. She also finished the puzzle the fastest out of everyone. Amanda gets hate around here, but she was a good sport about losing, and said she's still rooting for her team. There are more detestable people on this show than her.

The "Champions" concept really is underwhelming. Once the initial surprise of seeing them "invade" wears off, this is just a regular Challenge. John and CM are on every season. CT and Zach have been around. Nobody remembers Ashley and Camilla is more threatening in the house than she is during challenges. Darrel and Laurel are the only surprises because it's been a while since they've been on. And I just don't get how the champions are supposed to mix things up when you vote off and eliminate members from your own team. The format makes no sense.

Sounds like people flock there because of the live music, open mics, and art shows, not because of the veteran angle.

Oh boy, here we go. "Take that, menz! Now you know how it feels!" I don't think Barbara's inappropriate behavior should be used as a vehicle for you to voice your frustrations about men. Nor do I think that only men are complaining about how Barbara's been behaving. She's never been shy to call a man attractive-in past seasons she's made frequent comments to entrepreneurs she thinks are cute. She received no blowback, and that's slowly built up her confidence to the point where she feels comfortable grabbing a man's bottom.

It's a complete double standard, but nobody cares because it's just horny Barbara. She was all over the Toor guy, too. She doesn't come off as threatening, so it'll never be an issue.
