S40.E07: Trust in Your Era

[AntFTW]

Quote

The winners must make a heart-breaking decision as to which of their friends must fight in the elimination; target selection causes chaos as player numbers dwindle.

Air date: October 2, 2024

Damn, Averey is on this season, huh? She made a nice little cameo.

i liked the elimination. I’ve liked just about all of the eliminations so far except for the Hall Brawl. Is Kyland the only one that bothered to do the math while they were inside the glass box? Even if you’re a little slower, take the time and do the math before you leave the glass box.

Era 1 needs a lifeboat.

It'd probably have a hole in it, bless their hearts.  I thought for sure when they got down to "no choices" in an era, they'd shake it up somehow.  So maybe it will be total kill.

Funny how Bananas is always happy to skate by but once it's someone else with the relationships and able to get along, it's suddenly wrong and awful.

Recorded and watched the episode. Wasn't too invested. I think it's because Era I is down to two players, and they're one rough mission away once Ol' Hopalong Derrick has to bow out. I think the peak had to be the clips from Challenge 2000 at the beginning . . . and even then, I had to question the lack of Amaya clotheslining Veronica in mud football.

Voting in Tina and Darrell was a punk move.

Darrell had to wipe the sand to multiply 760 times 2?

Even if he wasn’t sure, might as well try what he thought was answer and then if it was wrong, try the sand.

Kyland is the only one who did the math, which is third grade math, in his head.  Both women went through the box multiple times and wrote on the sand.

As for the Daily how did Era I not lose with the 5 minute penalty by Tina?

In any event, Era I hasn’t been competitive all season.  Maybe they’ve aged out but CT wasn’t in the best shape.

It’s really getting contentious, not only the team chosen for the elimination are getting mad, it’s people who are chosen as targets getting mad and vocal about it.

 

Also Tina, hanging out in the Challenge House and going out to night clubs booked only for the cast is not experiencing Vietnamese culture.  Hell they don’t even get out of Ho Chi Minh City it looks like, unless she spent time before or after filming sightseeing.

Also, there is a moment in the season trailer where it looks like Tina and Johnny got into a little argument. I was waiting to see that particular moment so that made me think Tina might have won this elimination because we haven't seen it yet. That moment made the trailer but didn't make the season.

I honestly have no recollection of her at all on this season. (Or in her own season(s) for that matter)

Era 1 is on life support. I wish there was a way to swap out Derrick for Darrell since Derrick is clearly hurt. What if that causes him an elimination and Rachel is a team of 1? I was super sad to see Darrell go, even though I like Kyland. I do feel bad for Jenny that she keeps being the target, and I am only reminded that Kaycee is there because everyone keeps saying that she avoids being a target. It's funny watching Johnny stomp because someone is getting the treatment that he always enjoys, since Ryan and Derek are never nominated. Bananas' last words at the end of the episode gives me hope that we might see some discord between eras 3 and 4 soon. That would be great.

I really hate that Kaycee stakes by every season because everyone likes her. That’s good strategy on Kaycee’s part but Kaycee is kind of boring to watch so I need people to pick her as a target more often.

I like Jenny. I wish they had brought her back for more seasons. The only people likely wouldn’t pick Jenny is Theo and Johnny.

She must play the social game off camera or before they start shooting.

Or she's so low drama, the producers cut her scenes.

She is a threat in the elimination so people try to avoid her.

But Jenny should be seen as a threat, as she should be stronger and bigger than most of the women.

Snickering at Bananas being pissed that Ryan has a lot of protection this season, when Bananas himself has had oodles of protection during most of his seasons.
