Still waiting to find out why this Eason was soooo goooood that it is airing on MTV vs. paramount. All we've seen so far are Adam and Steve knock out 3 weak teams. Does this mean that we are going to watch all the weaker teams get eliminated and then have a really strong final? It is really boring watching the same team win each elimination and the star holders never change. Also, bring back the worst team going straight into elimination. There is no incentive for a team like Veronica and Katy to do well, because they will just be kept along for either the final or an easier elimination win. Frank is probably thinking the same thing, because if they get a star, theirs will probably be the least safe. I think people are banking on just staying out of elimination as long as possible and then snagging a star at the end. I feel like poking a stick at the cast and saying "do something!". Also not sad to see Anessa and Ashley go. Chances of winning were slim, and Ashley is a lot. Did not see Anessa and Sam coming at all.

I had forgotten that the episodes are shorter until someone pointed it out. While watching it I thought it was strange that we didn't see any discussion about who was going into elimination. If the season is going to be Adam and Steve going into elimination over and over, it's going to be super boring. Wasn't this season going to be aired on MTV because it was so good? Not starting out too good for me. In fact, I still wish this was on paramount unedited. Editing made it clear that Devin and Leroy were going to win the challenge, and that Kelly Anne and Sylvia or Aneesa and Ashley were in jeopardy. Frank is insufferable. Usually I can appreciate a villain, but he just seems obnoxious. The preview suggests there will be a star holder shakeup. Ready for things to get interesting.

Audible gasp from me when they announced Jonna and Beth were going into elimination. I was really interested to see how they eliminations were going to play out given the mixed gendered pairs. I actually thought Beth and Jonna had the advantage with this elimination. I like Jonna but can't stand Beth so I'm ok to see this pair go. Another note which is likely to becoming an ongoing thing for me, but all stars is clearly getting away from its original format and intent. I guess the people who would truly be Allstars are turning it down so now we are seeing too many flagship people. Do what you have to do to get the true Allstars back. Money, shorter filming, different location, whatever.

LOL, do you think she would do it though? I don't think she would. I could only see Turbo doing it. I don't even think Jonna would do it.

My first impression of the Allstars on MTV is soured by the fact that I liked the unedited version on paramount, felt great and gritty. The "Devroy" magazine cover was hilarious. I don't think I will be able to tolerate Turbo very much. I like Amber but hate Fessy so I can't root for that team. I'll be rooting for Devroy for the time being. I like Jonna but Beth is insufferable so can't root for them. I like KellyAnne but can't stand Sylvia. Not a lot of likable pairs. Oh maybe Katie and Veronica, that's a nice OG pairing worthy of all stars. Oh maybe Ashley and Dario. Steve and Adam aren't bad too.Hope this season lives up to the hype that got it off of Paramount and onto MTV.

Not too many notes from the reunion, just that Laurel continues to be insufferable. What a miserable person, so rude and condescending. I wouldn't be sad if this was her last season. I used to be a fan, but never again. It's been a while since I was super in tune with the antics of the cast outside of the show on social media and such. Was Johnny really that torn up about how things went with Moriah? Was the consensus that she really was using him for the show? The dynamic between Devin/Bananas/Tori/Michele was interesting yet annoying. Less of that. I'm surprised that when they talked about the couples that they didn't mention Brad and Emily, or maybe they haven't gotten there yet.

Another season I was able to finish without being spoiled, yay. Interesting final. On the men's side, Jordan earned that win decisively so I would have been a little sad for him if the karma vote ended up screwing him over. In the end, I am glad that the vote did not affect the winner because everyone earned their wins. Poor Kyland. I like that he was a good sport throughout the whole final, even though what else would have have done? He has experience, hopefully he will train better and come back stronger. I don't think we will see a final so focused on swimming again though. On the women's side. I'm glad that the karma vote didn't affect the overall winner in terms of place. Even though I love Rachel, however, I still feel a teeny bit bad for Jenny that she has to split the 1st place winnings with her. Rachel did fight hard though, the only one left from her era while it was being picked apart. Yes that's the game karma since everyone else dismantled era 1, but that's not Jenny's fault because her era was making her the scapegoat. It does suck, but them's the rules. Being the hypocrite that I am, I don't like Michele so it didn't bother me that she slid from 2nd to 3rd and got less money. I see some people online saying that they should have had Michele be 2nd and Tori be 3rd, but there have to be only 3 money prizes. Again, them's the rules. Good on Kyland for helping out Rachel and Michele at the key box checkpoint, he was dead last anyway but still being helpful. Michele asking Derek to let her have a math question was selfish. This is the final girl, everyone for themselves. Bananas jumping off the boat while TJ was going over the results earned a chuckle from me. Looking forward to All Stars 5.

That came back to my mind too, lucky for them she eventually got eliminated, otherwise it would have been more difficult. Me too! Head scratcher. It's like Cara won the last elimination and is in the final. This is how I figured Cara would do on this leg of the final if she were there.

I have watched every season of the challenge. I did not remember this at all. I went back to wikipedia to remind myself who was on that season and what happened. I vaguely remember it now, what I remember most is CT trying to get a skull and surprisingly losing to Jay. Back to this season, I was even thinking wow, Jenny and Johnny have warmed up to each other very fast, had they met before? Didn't even remember they won together before!

I have officially watched way too many episodes of the challenge because why didn't I remember that Jenny was already a challenge champion. Was that mentioned during the season as to why she could be a threat and why people kept putting her in elimination? I always watch on my phone so can't really see Jenny's label that says 1X champion. This is my first time watching live on TV all season. This season was so long, I forgot half the people that were on this season. Nice to see some of them for the karma vote explanations. Audible laugh from me when Bananas said he thinks he saw God, and someone said no that's just TJ. I also peeped the underwater cameraperson at the boat. I love watching on a big TV. Jordan is just so good. So freaking good. Poor Kyland. You have to be a better swimmer to be on the challenge. Feel bad for him, but you have to know that you could be swimming, but I can't believe that the final seems to be all swimming. Another audible laugh as Kyland says that it doesn't matter if they finish the puzzles, they have to be aqua man and aqua woman, and then looking right into the camera. Looking forward to the finale. I can't see anyone beating Jordan unless he gets screwed with the karma vote. I would have said Jenny from day 1 for the women, but she seems to be delirious and that may affect her for day 2.

I was really hoping it was going to be Cara vs. Michele for the elimination, but Tori losing was a surprise. I wanted Tori to win the elimination, glad she did. I think the best and most entertaining final on the women's side would have been Rachel, Jenny, Cara, and Tori. I don't expect much from Michele in the final but maybe I will be surprised. Tori is at a disadvantage having done that tough challenge and then tiring elimination right before the final. I wonder why TJ told them to put on their challenge gear for the elimination. I was expecting him to say that the final started right after the elimination. My prediction is Jordan, Kyland, bananas, Derek; Tori, Rachel, Jenny, Michele.

Sad to see Cory go, I think he was having a great season. I do think that Derek is having a good season too though so at least someone I like won the elimination. I thought the conversation with Bananas and Kyland about the final was interesting, good strategy. Try to psych him out before they get there. I don't think Kyland is going for it though. Wish Derek picked Michele as a target instead of Cara because I'm still not a Michele fan. No more challenge for the rest of the year? Now I'm sad.

This season is dragging, I feel like it's been on forever. I am sad to see Aviv go, just for throwback purposes because she won a challenge with my fav Darrell and then we never saw her again. I wish the elimination had been Aviv vs. Michele, a much better matchup and I wish Michele would have lost. The good news is that this is shaping up to be a pretty stacked final. The daily looked good but also terrifying. I listened to the challenge podcast and agree with Devyn and Davonne, I would have hated to be Tori going first and waking up all the creatures in the tunnel. The double sided puzzle pieces was genius, and I cracked up watching TJ laugh at Bananas. Will the season go into the new year? It's been a good season just loooooong.

Finally had the opportunity to watch live just to see it's a repeat of last week's episode. Cool. Glad that Josh was eliminated. I just can't get into him. The cast says that he is a cool guy and that outside of the show he's friends with everyone, but I just can't get behind him. More and more I'm rooting for Cory. It was interesting that someone upthread said that Jordan may have lost on purpose to not get his hands dirty. Maybe the first time he went through the daily he was on autopilot, but when it came down to the face-off he's thinking I'll just sit this one out. Interesting strategy. Laurel has become insufferable on social media. I think she needs to take a time out. I'm interested to see how the reunion went after her antics during the filmed season.

The only thing that makes me think that Michele was exaggerating about the Johnny Aviv thing is that she was in her talking head saying she knew she was pushing. If true, it's unfortunate that Michele let Aviv catch a stray for her feud with Johnny. Is that Devin was talking about online before the episode aired? I didn't think I cared whether Olivia or Michele lost, until Michele won and I was disappointed. Not that I like Olivia a lot, I just dislike Michele more. Shaping up to be a tough battle on the women's side. For the men, I think it would be Johnny vs. Jordan, but I think that Kyland is a dark horse.
