S40.E13: Best Friends 4Era

Quote

A rivalry heats up and no one is safe from the chaos that ensues; one Challenger tries to reignite their competitive flame to avoid elimination; best friends avoid facing off with one another.

Air date: November 13, 2024

Bus drama!!!

I can't lie . . . I was dozing through most of the elimination. The biggest loss to me is the impending absence of Olivia's chest in interviews. It just looks so soft.

Also, there was a lot of foot-on-foot action in this episode. Too much. You just know some viewers were getting off on it.

I had to FF through all the emo stuff.

Of course you're going to have to pick among your "friends."

Biggest alliance may get you through the game but in the latter stages, you're going to have to piss some people off.

So were Johnny and Aviv playing footsie?  Or was it innocent, a very brief, accidental touch?

Doubtful that Michelle would make that comment because their toes touched briefly.  They must have touched more than once or there was extended touching.

The way Johnny accused her of being "nasty" and "catty" may remind people of a certain political figure, who when backed to a corner goes fully on the attack.

If it was innocent, the obvious thing to say would be "get a life" or "WFT you talking about."  But the vehemence of the reaction makes you wonder.

all the tears etc was hard to take. I get you are in a pressure bubble, but this is not your first time on the show. There will only be one winner per gender so stop it. You know the numbers go down and picking people or going against people is not optional. If Olivia and Michelle played chess, would they cry before taking the other player's king? 

I also found it funny to have Michelle and crew be catty about other girls "skating through" when they were perfectly fine sitting on the sidelines while Jenny gets sent in again and again. It's a game and you can be on the top or bottom at different times.

So Jordan is just going to skate to another win, huh? I think Johnny is probably the preferred winner by production, so you never know if they pull some fuckery in a final or in a Jordan vs Johnny elimination. But right now the odds of Jordan having to see an elimination are slim. And Jordan in an individual final is pretty much unbeatable. 
 

The ladies side is much more interesting and wide open, with any one of Tori,Rachel,Cara, and Jenny being capable of winning. I think Aviv would have a chance too if she didn’t have her foot issue.

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.

Did Michele say more than 'Can my feet join the party' and it was cut? Because that comment alone really doesn't warrant the reaction they were all having.

I get the feeling some part of it was cut. It seems like she said something about Aviv, but we don't actually see her say anything about Aviv.

I didn't care either way. They both could have left. Olivia's giving me nothing this season. Without Devin, Michele is less entertaining.

It's so annoying that they're cutting huge parts of these fights yet leaving in the reactions to what was cut. First Laurel/Cara and now this.

What did they have to cut out? Aviv is a married woman playing footsies with another man! I don't even like Michele but to make her out to be the enemy for calling that shit out is ridiculous! Can't these people keep it in their pants?! There was a rumor that Jonna had an affair with MJ on All Stars and that is why she and her husband separated for a while. These people acting like horny college freshmen and they're in their 40s smh.

Thank you!

Acting like someone calling you out for inappropriate behavior is worse than participating in the inappropriate behavior is so enraging. It's like when racists think someone calling them racist is worse than them actually being racist lol.

I assume they cut something just because literally all she said was 'Can my feet join the party?' That's not even really calling anyone out. But it's possible nothing was cut and Johnny overreacted because he knows he and Aviv were being inappropriate.
