S39.E07: So Flip Floppy

[shantown]

Quote

In a move of desperation, one contender tries to prove his loyalty to his alliance by betraying his other friends; love is in the air as one of the couples take their relationship to a new level.

Devin probably would have beaten the giant guy at counting.

Corey feeling like his “alliance” has his back was the ultimate cringe.  Every time he opened his mouth I shrunk with embarrassment.

The way Jay and Michelle acted about Kyland, Horacio and T saying Emanuel’s name made me really wish that Emanuel went home.

It seems like Corey can never say the right thing.

Well, I'm a little bummed that it wasn't a 3 way melee, but the champion getting to pick whomever they want really did ratchet up the drama. And I kind of love that it was Devin, pot stirrer extraordinaire, who was the first one to get to do that. I wonder if we'll have repeat champions or if each episode it will be someone new. 

I know that TJ talks about chaos and how you can't predict anything, but honestly those girls fussing about how it could be a girls' week again were irritating to me. They're never going to intentionally set it up so that there are more of one gender than the other (I say intentionally because obviously with Big T winning hers but Callum and the other guy losing his they are going to have an imbalance between female and male competitors). Of course it was going to be a male week. I do wonder if when they get closer to the final might they mix it up a bit by having more of one gender if there is an imbalance between the genders or not.

I missed part of the show but on Reddit they said there was big beef from Melissa ro Asaf.  She’s always angry but does anyone know why 

[bunnyface]

Melissa has always had a mean girl vibe to me.  Last week everybody was feeling so sorry for her and Big T.  While I do like Big T, something has always bugged me about Melissa.

Why was anyone but Michele supporting Callum?   I know there was $10,000 involved, but when a contender loses, you have one fewer person standing 8n your way to the finals.

My guess is because he wasn't the original target. Callum seems to be pretty well connected, especially to the other Brits. He's a number for the Brits so I understand why they would help him.

Good challenges, both the Daily for the simplicity and the elimination for the entertainment value of Devin hamming it up and then both Devin and Callum rushing to make corrections.

After he spilled that one box, he should have been out of it.  Girls couldn’t help Callum.

So Michele and Callum were more than a showmance?  Which one is going to spend on airfare to be with the other?  Michelle won Survivor?  She’s been coming on Challenges since to win more money?

Not sure why they keep having her back.  Is she more edgy because she likes a guy with neck and face tattoos?

Michele seems to have taken Tori's spot for being the HGIC....head girl in charge. What she wants, is what she gets. And she wanted Callum safe so nobody would say his name and they all wanted to help him win. I don't get it, you have to dwindle the threats for better chances in the final. And I thought all the Americans were an alliance yet Michele's F buddy is being kept safe as is his fellow tat face buddy, Emanual...well the response Michele and Jay had show they want to keep him safe. Also, does Michele know Callum has a girlfriend? 

How are they going to get down to a small number with this play a champion thing, if sometimes they win (like Big T)? Are they going to go to final with a lot of players? A lot more than usual? 

I am still waiting for Nanas to come and take out Mariah's giant guy (F buddy).

This was an episode where I felt that the show was making things up as it went along. So . . . instead of drawing Emmanuel or Corey, Devin pulled a mace, meaning that he could challenge any other male.

That doesn’t sit well with me, since Devin had no real clue as to who to pick . . . and he wound up taking out Michele’s showmance. It’s just a bizarre twist. The only way that could work for me is if Jordan came back, pulled the mace, and then decided that he had to deal with Emmanuel personally. Oh, and CT is shown with a mace in teasers, so thanks to MTV for spoiling that.

I can’t keep up with all the fucking. Credit to Moriah for hopping onto Budget Hercules (aka “We got Kevin Sorbo at home!”), because he could probably take out Johnny if the situation called for it . . . providing the altercation took place under five minutes. Otherwise, he’d have to take a nap.

She won one season and (IIRC) placed third in S40. It’s getting to a point where she should stop.

Devin is still overrated as a “personality.” If Johnny & Nany hadn’t fucked up on the cinder blocks, Devin and Tori would be players. Also, thanks to the show’s social media for spoiling his appearance. 🙄

I'm late to the party but guess what?  This season still sucks weeks later.

To see that lamer posturing as a "champion" galls me.   Not only if Johnny and Nany hadn't fucked up on the cinder blocks would Devin and Tori be players, but also if more than half the cast of vets no longer appeared on the show.   He owes his "championship" more to the principle of a thousand monkeys typing Shakespeare than any kind of skill.
