I got bored, and I wound up making a list of what happens to someone who wins the first elimination game of a given season. In most cases, I had to put in multiple entries in one season, usually due to gender. I'm guessing this means Jay is going to fail trying to win $1 million. Would that be for the second time or the third? ETA: In Gauntlet 2, I counted Jodi's win, even though Cameran wound up quitting. Ruthie won the first female Gauntlet that actually happened. With IOTC, I counted the first wins from the challengers and the champions. I can clear up anything else if needed.

I’m sure Denise is a person of multiple layers . . . but in the context of the show? This is totally her. 😜

Here’s Matt Iseman, reading a classic story in his style.

@TiffanyNichelle is right . . . this is comfort food for the reality TV junkie's soul, coming at a time where we need to be distracted for a few months. I am DVRing it, though; Survivor takes priority, and I don't know why MTV doesn't air the episodes at 9 p.m. Asaf had the potential to fill Turbo's role, but he lost to dumbass Jay. If Nany remembers him at the Reunion, it'll be remarkable. BTW, I'm saying that more in terms of the fickle nature of showmances. I don't really have an opinion on Nany. Bunker headquarters is a neat twist, and I'm guessing BMP made their psych tests a wee bit harder for everyone's sake. From what I heard (and I could be off-base), Cara Maria didn't pass . . . and that's what she's not on this season. Ditto for Paulie, but this will be the first time since Rivals III that we won't be seeing Cara. It's gonna be weird. Back to the Bunker . . . I'm amazed Jordan wasn't the first one out, because he came SO HARD. I did the research . . . in the last fifteen seasons, there were only three seasons where more than half of the final players didn't go into elimination: War of the Worlds 2 (.667; basically two-thirds of the field), Rivals III (also .667), and Vendettas (.625). In other news, I probably would have gotten the math right in the first mission . . . but real talk? Teege would've run over my medical supplies on his first trip. Bright side: Rogan is REALLY uncomfortable now.

I guessing I’m in for the long haul, up to and including recording The Challenge while I watch Survivor “live.” The stupid thing is that I’m not feeling too invested in anyone that’s left. I’m not in love, but none of them give me a permanent mad-on. Tyson gets back in the game. Yaaaaaaaaaay. Watching him and Rob battle it out, I’m sure Probst was pitching a tent. Tyson was probably his second choice. If Rob won, I’m guessing he would’ve been “allowed” to bring in Amber. As it stands, he’s sitting on the jury bench for the first time ever. Only took him five seasons! Hey, did Denise tell you how she got Sandra out of the game? I don’t think she told anyone. 🙄 I’m guessing Wendell’s boot was unexpected, but there was no “#blindside.” On the bright side, there’s still a chance he might take out someone’s eye by sneezing his toothpick out hard.

I’m guessing EoE will be minimized from here on out. Off to see if the Challengers have killed each other. Later, guys!

I remember the EoE finale, where it sounded like “Oy vey, this season sucks!”

Wendell skewering someone in the eye by sneezing out his toothpick is still in play. 🤷‍♂️ Probst, we know the next two seasons have been cast! And you might be out of a job!

Adam + Ben + Nick = Brocean Alliance?

Hey, it’s Rob’s first time on the jury bench! #Milestone

Adam’s impression of Ben = Robb’s impression of Clay?

Guys! The name is 👔 ☀️!

Weird . . . nobody knows how to pronounce Tyson’s name. 🤔

About eleven hours of Tom and Ian hanging onto buoys.

A commercial for The Challenge? Oddly meta. BTW, anyone else figure Wes would be a dud on Survivor?

“Jeremy! Wins immunity! And a fire token! Get that economy humming!” Should have guessed the firefighter would be the last one on a pole.

“Denise! Knows how to work a pole!”

Michele with the hard fall. Is there a way to make sand softer?

Hey, @Daisy! How do feel about endurance challenges? 😜

Stupid question: has there been a season where it didn’t rain?

Also on Tony’s to-do list: cutting eyeholes in branches of his Spy Shack.

I guess no one at EoE is tapping out. 🤷‍♂️

Tyson returning was probably Probst’s second choice. Denise continuing to hold up Sandra’s head to impress everyone. 🙄

The guy that bought peanut butter won. Fuck.

Tyson vs. Rob. No shots of Probst's shorts.
