I can see all of this happening. What I don't see is Rob agreeing to "fake cheat." I think most people who have followed him over the years believe him that he doesn't cheat and this was an honest, if dumb, mistake.
I don’t see it either. Rob doesn’t seem like the type to agree to come on the show and not win.
If the rules of the game was that someone could come in and sabotage everyone to “steal” the prize, I can see Rob agreeing to that. That way he can still win.

Just on episode 2. Tayshia is an idiot.
When she went to go tell (Joe???) that he was a target, I didn't expect his response back to Tayshia to be "it's you or me" because I didn't know Tayshia was an option for people until he said that. I don't believe they showed people talking about voting for her.
I would love to know if her name was being floated before then or did Joe work flip votes to her. Obviously, she ruined her own game with the girls' alliance. Other than that, were all the guys planning on voting for her anyway?

Also, I really dislike the whole, "I want to go in, so everyone should honor that," thing they try to do. No they shouldn't! They should actively try to block you unless you're someone like Jasmine who most people could probably beat if it came down to that.
On the flip side of this, I really hate that no one is trying to go in. They all need a star and no one is really trying to get one.
Are other people trying to go into elimination and they're not showing us?
One tweak I would make to the season is that I don't think TJ should say what the elimination is before the daily challenge winner gets to decide whether they want to go in. I want them jumping into an unknown elimination rather than take an elimination they know they have a good shot of winning. I would prefer there to be risk of a player volunteering themselves into an elimination that they may not be good at.

Just finished the first three episodes. This show is just like House of Villains but more messy. I love it! 😂

Kam was the one that pushed Jasmin and Brandon to go against Cara. Kam pushed Cara's name the same terrible offense that Ayanna had done to Kam.
On 5/1/2024 at 5:04 PM, AntFTW said:I just rewatched the last episode. I didn’t realize that she threw out Cara’s name in the previous episode. I missed that part so it threw me off as to how it got to this point.
Jasmine was on the The Challenge podcast to recap episode 6. Jasmine says that her and Brandon came up with the idea to throw Cara in, and afterwards they both told to Kam and Leroy, which I assume led to the scene we saw of Jasmine, Brandon, Kam and Leroy talking about throwing Rachel and Cara into elimination.

So... people don't like using idols anymore?
1 hour ago, LadyChatts said:I liked Venus, so I’m sad she’s gone. Cannot wait to read her exit interviews however!
I can't wait to see her exit interviews. I really want to see her reaction to the season and the parts she didn't know about.
1 hour ago, LadyChatts said:And seriously, when was the last time there’s been a successful idol play that counted? Also, did Hunter’s idol not get re-hidden?
I'm thinking Hunter's idol was rehidden, but they thought he was full of shit so they didn't go looking for it. For Tiff's idol, people were not doubting that she had an idol so when she got voted out, they were confident that another one was rehidden.
Separately, I've always been under the impression that there were tribe idols and there was a merge idol. I always thought once the merge idol was found and used or voted out, the merge idol was rehidden but once the tribe idols were used those don't get rehidden at the merge camp.
1 hour ago, LadyChatts said:Speaking of Q, didn’t take him long to get back to being cocky and acting like he’s running things again. Maria totally went down for me tonight. Yes, she was really in a no-win situation, but making comments about people’s bodies breaking down more than others, asking people to plead their case, and then resorting to rock-paper-scissors…I mean she probably got the result she wanted, but I’m not sure it was a good look for her.
Do people not like Liz? Is she in the same camp as Venus?
I feel like no one would have been mad at Maria if she had chosen Liz. Liz is probably the only "safe" choice left to pick for a reward so she's sympathetic.

I like seeing the strategy here of who do we put in or keep out so the star holders are safe with their stars. If I were Cara though I would not be mad at the idea of Jasmine in the final; she's very beatable in a final.
I think Cara would agree with you that she would prefer Jasmine in the final. However, Cara is more focused on self-preservation now and she'll worry about who is in the final later. I get her wanting two star holders to go into elimination, because that means she, effectively, keeps her star safe no matter what happens. Cara had the best of all of the worlds in this episode. She had voting power, she was safe from elimination, and her star couldn't be stolen.
12 hours ago, jsm1125 said:I generally like Kam, but she can miss me with “everyone is stupid for playing for Cara Maria’s game.” As if she’s not hoping that the others play her and Leroy’s game.
Everyone else don't seem to really have a game to play. The only people I feel like are actively playing are Kam and Cara. At this point, there is only two games to play, Kam's game or Cara's game, because everyone else just seems to be floating no particular directly.
One thing I do appreciate about both Kam and Cara is that they have a heading of where they see the game going or where they want it to be, and they are willing to put in the work to make it happen... and everyone else is giving us nothing.
If they want a star and/or be that one winner at the end, they're going to have to make some moves at some point.
-
I would have liked to see Kam go down into elimination and steal Cara's star. I think that would have been the most entertaining ending.

What a shitty thing for Nicole to change her mind like that. I wash hoping Jasmine would win somehow and take Cara’s star and hand it to Kam.
They shouldn't have let her do that. I'm indifferent to both Jasmine and Veronica so I didn't care who Nicole went against. However, I thought once she made her decision, she shouldn't have been allowed to switch.
Separately, going into elimination was probably the smartest game move I thought Nicole has ever made. She was winning that elimination regardless of who her opponent was.

When everyone is thanking the super influencer, “Olivia” is the only one that didn’t thank the secret super influencer. That would have been a red flag for me, and Kyle noticed that also so good for him.
I feel like Myles would not have won even if he was a finalist. He was perceived as a popular player and I think people would strategically rated him low in their final ratings.
I felt like they kinda gave away who was going to win before they revealed it. The parts they showed us of players doing their ratings, I think, kinda gave it away.
They really gave us a no-frills finale. We haven’t seen Michelle Buteau all season, have we?

As others have said, Rob is the only reason I watched this. Not because I'm infatuated with him, but he was the only interesting element. I was curious to see what they would do with him. Had he been eliminated early, I would have stopped. Did they do whatever they had to do to keep him in? I dunno...but here we are. If he goes immediately, I can fast forward to the end and either rejoice in Stephanie losing or be enraged by her winning. The rest is just filler.
Maybe we'll clock out early if Stephanie has the lowest case and Rob is also the slowest. They both get eliminated in the first 5 minutes and the mission will be accomplished.

My prediction for now is that Rob is eliminated. I feel like the edit is trying to give me false hope of Amy getting lost and being slow and Rob being a nonstop thoroughbred racehorse that eventually passes Amy.
If that's right and Rob is eliminated, my only motivation for watching is seeing Stephanie lose. That's it. I don't care who wins the game as long as it's not Stephanie. If Rob sticks around, then I'm rooting for Rob to take it all.
27 minutes ago, TAG42481 said:Oh yeah, and how could Rob not have understood you can't look at somebody's table? I love the game, but that's 100% his fault.
Does that mean Amy also had to stop wherever she was? I feel like it would be completely unfair for Stephanie and Jordan to wait while they go through and explain Rob's rule-breaking while Amy is allowed to wander in the maze.

Damn. They really could’ve wrapped this up tonight. I had a feeling they were going to drag out the Amy/Rob last place loser until next week.
Rob should have paid to the rules. If he’s eliminated because he’s in last place, that’s his own fault.

On the Winners at War season, I think Natalie Anderson deserved to win. She fought back from exile. She was great in challenges. The moves she did with the tokens to buy herself the advantages she needed in the final IC to get to the end was masterful.
She would have been the favorite to win for me if she had taken out Tony. She just needed to take out the King of the Hill, Tony. It would have taken some risk on her part but she needed to do it. She needed to get him voted out or beat him in the fire making challenge, not just throw him into the fire making challenge against someone else and hope he lost. She needed a splash.

Wow, it looks a straight rip off, right down to the comedian host who makes fun of the show and contestants. That said, I'll probably watch it, lol.
Me too. 😂
I watched the first episode yesterday on Youtube, and it has enough of my attention to watch the rest of the episodes when it's formally released.

I just came across this show called The GOAT that will be on Amazon Prime Video. The show hasn't premiered yet but they posted the first episode on Youtube. It has a couple of Challengers on there with Tech and Da'Vonne. It seems like a version of House of Villains that Johnny Bananas was on with a random group of reality show people from their various reality shows.

Just read article where Tiff stated that both Maria and Kenzie both wanted to give Liz their spot on the reward. Q wouldn't allow it. What? When was that a thing? If Liz's outburst happened after that then it is more understandable. Why didn't we see that? So help me if it's because Q wins!!!!!!
I just saw a few of Tiffany's exit interviews and she mentions it. She says "Q said no. I chose who I chose. I don't want Liz to go." 😂
They should have shown that.

I agree about Applebees but being in the jungle with so little food, McDonald’s would be like Michelin star cuisine for me .
Same. I’m not an Applebee’s fan at all but stick me in the middle of nowhere in Fiji with nothing but coconuts and rice for 3-4 weeks and I’d be crying over Applebee’s too.

Why be glad? That shouldn't have been his choice. If they wanted to give up their spot, then it should've been their choice, not his.
I think it is his choice of who to bring. If others want to give up their spot for Liz, that's fine but I just don't think they should get to choose who replaces them. Q should get to choose their replacement because he won the reward and it was his choice of who gets to go on the reward.

I mean…if I'm F7, doesn't my plan now shift to trying to drag both Q and Liz to the end? I would think that would guarantee me the win, or at least a front row seat to the most batshit final tribal ever.
Maybe not if you're Venus. 😂
2 hours ago, blackwing said:The most hilarious part of Liz crying about having to listen to others talk about not even eating the EXACT BURGER is that she ended her tirade in the confessional with "read the freakin room".
When she said that I thought "well, they are. You're the only one in the room that seems to have a problem." The others asked them about their Applebee's reward.
I love a good amount of pettiness. If she was going to be a sourpuss about it, I would list every thing I saw on that burger. "The burger looked so good. The patty cooked to perfection, the cheese, the sauteed onions, the mushrooms... and those buns, you should have seen those big buns... and on top of that, we were so stuffed, we didn't even touch the burger."
1 hour ago, blackwing said:An absolutely hilarious final 3 would be Q, Venus and Liz.
I know! I've been joking about Venus going to the FTC, and despite her being disliked and not looped in on any plan, she's still sticking around. I just find that so funny. If she makes it to the FTC and wins... HILARIOUS!

Had Kenzie told Tiff about the plan to vote her out, she would have achieved her goal of getting the idol out, and she and Tiff would still be an alliance. If I'm one of the others, I now know Kenzie can't be trusted if she was willing to throw out her ride-or-die with 8 players still in the game. That's the kind of move you pull at 5 or 6. No way would I trust anything Kenzie says or does from now on.
I haven't liked Maria or Venus since the beginning and nothing they have done since has altered that opinion.
It's not like they clued Kenzie in on the plan to get rid of Tiff. She talked about it but she backed out and assumed that plan was off the table for now. Kenzie could have secretly told Tiffany to play her idol just in case because she's "heard chatter" about voting Tiff out. Kenzie would have still voted for Q as she did here so Kenzie would have had some cover with others because her behavior and vote didn't have to change.
It would have been a resume builder for Tiffany for successfully using her idol.
In that scenario, I think someone would have told Tiffany afterwards that Kenzie also discussed voting her out.

I was kind of surprised that Nicole was the one setting boundaries and Laurel is coming off as so "needy."
She says that after the boundary is broken. 😂
She says that after she spent all this time giving Laurel all of this lovey-dovey affection, cuddling, "play fighting", etc... and then after all of that says "the boundary was broken."

S04.E06: Karma Maria
in The Challenge: All Stars
· Edited by AntFTW
It was smart move for Cara in this moment, and arguably dumb for everyone else. The whole nomination was a benefit to Cara for both the men's and women's nominations.
With regard to Cara, she doesn't care that it gave Nicole an easy person to beat. That's not Cara's priority. Cara's primary objective is keeping her own star safe. Cara blocks Kam from going into elimination solely because it keeps her star safe. She's not giving Kam an opportunity to steal her star. Cara nominates all star holders into elimination solely because it keeps her star safe. Everything she does is to keep her star safe.
Cara was trying to get all star holders into elimination. Luckily for Cara, every other person with a star happen to be in the losing group and eligible to be thrown into elimination. Cara says it's easy for her to vote for Leroy "because of the star."
Cara votes for Kefla, Leroy, Jasmine and Veronica. Why? The elimination winner, whoever that happens to be, would not be able to steal her star. Even though she doesn't get Leroy, her goal is still met. Four star holders are nominated into elimination. That means her star is safe.
Right!
Although, Flora couldn't be nominated into elimination because she was in the middle group. Flora had voting power.
To go back to what @luckyroll3 said about Kam volunteering herself and people not having to honor that, if the middle group voted Kam and Tina into elimination, Nicole probably would have taken Kam's spot against Tina, blocking Kam. I think we're all in agreement that Nicole would have beat Tina in that elimination too. If it wasn't Cara blocking Kam, it would have been Nicole.
Separately, I like the division of power this season. The daily challenge winners don't have all the power of voting someone in, and/or deciding if they want go to instead.
...and Laurel. Laurel was eligible to be nominated into elimination. Laurel and Kam are likely the only two people Nicole would have not volunteered herself to go against.
The only way I see Nicole not going down into elimination is if the elimination was Laurel vs Kam... but Cara wouldn't have let that happen. That means her star is not safe.
I agree. I think Nicole would lose. 😂
