How long are these "teams" going to last?

Too long.

[Lady Calypso]

Poor Xavier got stuck on the Dud Team.

[Katesus7]

Oh no, poor Xavier.

[Callaphera]

Noooo, Xavier.

[Lady Calypso]

Yes, Claire, you go choose Tiffany! I'm glad because you can tell she didn't want the older black woman to be picked last, as she for sure would have with the other three.

[leocadia]

I bet Christian is sad inside about not getting a shot at Travis.

[PaperTree]

So at 40, Tiffani is the token old person.

[Katesus7]

All right, Frenchie!

[Lady Calypso]

HAHA, TRAVIS GOT SNUBBED AGAIN. He's gonna be forced on a team by default.

Poor Claire gets stuck with Travis, but you know she'll be plotting for him to go first on her team.

[Callaphera]

I knew Sarah(Beth? Another Beth?) would be the last woman. I didn't expect Travis to be the last douche guy standing.

[choclatechip45]

Hee Travis was one of the last ones picked. 

[PaperTree]

I was always the last one picked in gym class.

[Lamb18]

Frenchie - the Jokers. Azah, Britini, Derek F.

Whitney - the Aces. Douche and douchier up for grabs. Chooses Brent, Derek X, Hannah.

Christian - the Kings. Alyssa, it figures, Xavier, Sarah Beth.

Clare - the Queens. Kyland, Tiffani, Travis.

He wasn't even picked; he was the last man put on a team by default. After being looked over not once but twice.

[leocadia]

I have to say this 90 minutes is going fast.  I know it can all go downhill quickly, but so far this has been a good start.

[Katesus7]

I’m good with these teams. Agree with others that this was the best way to go about it. I have strong yay/boo opinions on each team so am open to rooting for any of them.

Me too but that's because I was hiding in the bushes, smoking.

Monte Carlo. But it's more like they lost steam halfway through the beach theme and just decided to toss some poker chips around. Voila, casino!

I was thinking Atlantic City.

Could be - I think one of the house tour articles referenced Monte Carlo but US Weekly is dodgy with facts sometimes.

I would have, but I was trapped inside.  The fat nerd kid with zero athletic ability😎

[Lamb18]

Unfortunately I don't think anybody is named after a city. But there is a Travis County in Texas.

[Dewey Decimate]

I'm rooting (for now) for the Jokers in this comp. They seem like the most oddball group for the moment, and I like an underdog.

[Lady Calypso]

Ok, judgement on the teams so far:

Team Jokers: Frenchie, Derek F, Azah, Britini - C. Derek and Azah are solid choices but I do think the team is not going to be the strongest in comps. They might be the weakest, even.

Team Aces: Whitney, Brent, Derek X, Hannah - B-. I think the team is overall solid in terms of gameplay and competition wise. But I hate Brent so...

Team Kings: Christian, Alyssa, Xavier, Sarah Beth - C+. I really hate two of them and am neutral on Sarah Beth. Xavier is the reason why they're not at a D. But they could excel at comps. I just couldn't put them higher.

Team Queens: Claire, Kyland, Travis, Tiffany - B+. I do love three out of four of the members, but I also don't think they'll be the strongest at comps...but I don't think they'll be the worst, either. Likeability on all but Travis and a decent shot at winning comps bodes well.

But we'll see how wrong I am after this comp lol

[Callaphera]

Me throughout this comp:

[Lamb18]

Christian can't sport a manbun like Survivor Joe or Malcolm.

[choclatechip45]

Yay the The Jokers win!

[Lady Calypso]

Well, I was wrong about Team Jokers lol

But damnit, we're stuck with Britini for two weeks!

[Callaphera]

Ew. Baby Robyn Kass's Daddy is HoH.

Yeah, and I believe he’s the dude bro who went to UT, In Austin, which is in Travis County..

[Lady Calypso]

Hot damn, I was wrong about Team Kings.

But good. 

[Lamb18]

Jokers won! Good job Frenchie and team!

[Callaphera]

hahahahahaha suck it, Christian

[leocadia]

Interesting, indeed!  I don't even have any reason (beyond superficial) to dislike Christian, but I am kind of happy that Team Joker beat his team.

Live chatting is too quick for my typing

[dizzyd]

Dammit!  I keep forgetting that little nugget of information and start liking him.

Ok, I may get crap for saying this, but picking Derek F makes no sense to me. He's gonna be a liability in most physical competitions. Tell me how horrible I am for saying it, but most of you are already thinking it.

Perhaps, but I think Frenchie just didn't want to pick Travis lol

In his preshow interview, he said he does Crossfit so I dunno.

[Lady Calypso]

Ah, so they added a quarter of a million.

[Callaphera]

Frenchie apparently named his daughter after Robyn Kass, the old casting director who was let go before this season was cast.

[Lady Calypso]

Oh...that's it? That's the double or nothing? Throwing dice?

[Lady Whistleup]

750k for the winner.

There's plenty of people who go to the Crossfit gym I go to. It's become a social gathering for a lot of them. Maybe I'm wrong about him, but that's not a lot of muscle under that shirt.

Well, no. I honestly don’t know how you came to this conclusion, especially since his team won. And this show is littered with the carcasses of “strong, athletic males” who did Jack shit in competitions. Starting with Jack - Aquaman’s janky cousin who never won shit.

[Lady Calypso]

Frenchie was shaking his head. I think he might decline lol

Dead.

[PaperTree]

Do you feel lucky, punk?

I wouldn't do it.
