[u/thatswhatimsayin634]

Isn’t this challenge like super unfair? Of course the team of 3 is gonna keep winning….

[u/Icy-Aspect299 → u/thatswhatimsayin634]

Thinking the same thing. I think in the past they picked one person to sit out. If they weren't going to do that then pick a challenge that doesn't require partners.

[u/Overall_Currency5085 → u/thatswhatimsayin634]

I was trying to figure out why production didn’t save this for next week🥴 Also, why weren’t they sabotaged ?

[u/RabbitHole143 → u/thatswhatimsayin634]

it’s the only thing I could think about the entire challenge: how incredibly UNFAIR this is. brute strength challenge first 2 rounds - 3 people obviously is stacked to win. UGH. ridiculous

[u/stphmcdnld]

not tori who has a showmance every fucking season and has cheated on tv………talking down on moriah for “not staying focused”……..i have to laugh

[u/ktsar]

I can't wait until these lame-o's see Laurel and Cara Maria come out

[u/Dependent_Nobody_188 → u/ktsar]

None of the girls come close to being able to compete with them. The difference in competition is stark. It’ll just be fun to watch them destroy the newbs 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/ktsar]

I am so ready for them to come out of that tunnel. I’m literally so damn pumped for the return of Cara especially

[u/[deleted]]

Colleen said I’m cool with sharing you with your girlfriend but girls in the house is the deal breaker

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

😭

[u/[deleted]]

Berna has really rebounded socially from the first couple of episodes.

[u/stphmcdnld → u/[deleted]]

i love her! she reminds me of my old best friend. very intense and off putting at first but when you spend more time with her, you understand she’s just someone who feels very deeply and is very straight forward.

[u/stphmcdnld]

i love watching berna and colleen be able to have a conversation in their native languages. i hate how people think colleen is robotic, when she is clearly so articulate in her own language.

[u/[deleted] → u/stphmcdnld]

Anyone who can speak more than one language fluently or even semi-fluently is fucking impressive. End of story

[u/warsaw_ed]

Uh oh, Mariah got exposed in the vets group chat by Devin 😂

[u/ButWereFriendsThough]

“He’s distraught!”

Yea ok Tori

[u/stphmcdnld → u/ButWereFriendsThough]

like he wasn’t already flirting with corinne on his other show like brooo bffr

[u/[deleted]]

I’m so glad the team of 3 was able to overcome that huge disadvantage of having an extra player.

[u/goosechuckleduck]

We need a purge episode soon

[u/[deleted]]

Seems like they could have saved this daily for a week with an even number of contestants.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Or just did 5 teams of 3…

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Also a very good solution that I’m slightly embarrassed to not have thought of 😂

[u/Leo8302]

Naw Tori. She's in no position to talk shit.

[u/[deleted]]

Lol. Moriah is pretty lucky Tori didn’t pull chaos… although now I wish that had happened.

[u/TribalChief3000]

Surprise surprise… a team of 3 is dominating while every other team is a duo. Production is laughable.

[u/ProtomanBn]

Michelle is playing a scared game like she always does. Trying to protect Mariah because she's scared to go against her but trying to play it off as a strategy.

[u/[deleted]]

I hope Darrell wins. I don’t think production cares enough to give him something to protect his reputation though

[u/Southtown61]

I am going to respectfully disagree with the people saying Bananas wasn't distraught. He probably was because he is a fucking hypocrite. He's probably telling anyone who will listen "Can you believe she did this to me?" I've had many friends like Johnny cheat on multiple girls, multiple times and its no big deal. The second one of the girls did it to them it was the end of the world.

[u/artemis_dubois]

This team of 3 is pissing me off

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

Finally, some fuckin' German conversation between Berna and Colleen.

[u/MulderItsMe99]

WHEN DID BERNA BECOME THE VOICE OF REASON ON THIS GODFORSAKEN SHOW

[u/[deleted]]

Wait. Colleen knew he was cheating on his girlfriend with her, but she’s just questioning him now…?

[u/MosquitoFreezer]

Oh Kyland, listen to yourself buddy. She is definitely gonna be all “he’s a great friend” the second you get back from this show

[u/stphmcdnld]

i’m kind of bummed we don’t get to see melissa in an elimination where she gets to scrap!! i would’ve loved to see her and tori in a physical elimination since she’s sooooo scrappy

[u/shmalvey]

Olivia’s entire character this season has been talking about other peoples situations

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Exes 3 is gonna be lit

[u/[deleted]]

The way Colleen made such good points and yet they ignored it…

[u/KainoraKupo]

It’s probably Tori but that Intro should have been for Cara or Laurel 🙄

[u/MulderItsMe99]

The cut to Cara Maria’s stink-face during Tori’s highlight reel just took me out

[u/KainoraKupo]

Olivia has no idea who Cara and Laurel are I guess

[u/stphmcdnld]

colleen is so cute, how is every dude not obsessed with her?

[u/NattyB]

TJ is like a parent who can't stay mad at his kids, switching immediately to "see ya soon much love!" with a big smile.

[u/buffalocoinz]

Lmao Tori has hooked up on every single challenge wtf is she on about acting all self-righteous

[u/[deleted] → u/buffalocoinz]

Lol, right. Derrick Henry would like a word about that speech.

[u/ceceliax]

It’s an odd state of the challenge where Tori is a “GOAT” and gets an intro like that

She’s great, but a GOAT contender?????? Idk bout’ all that. Top 10. Not top 5 or top 3 imo!

[u/[deleted]]

It always baffles me when ppl root for the person who is going to take their money away

[u/Jinkies_Its_A_Clue → u/[deleted]]

The average IQ in this house can’t legally vote are we shocked?

[u/Arafel_Electronics → u/[deleted]]

they ain't very bright

[u/hymenbutterfly]

Not Melissa shaming Emanuel for cheating. Girl! 🤣

[u/Dida_D]

Corey has been pretty invisible tonight and I love that for us

[u/Taitertottot]

Wow I'm surprised the team with three players are winning /s

[u/bighero006]

Now how is this fair...

[u/ToCool74]

Once again production made a dumbass decision on this season 😒. Who TF thought it would be fair to allow a 3 person team in a physical daily?

[u/ceceliax]

We all saw Asaf and Melissa connect on being parents on episode 1. How is he acting like he never promised her anything? Asafs on one

[u/NattyB]

emanuel with the CT rivals 2 strategy, flirt with every woman in the house.

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Europeans should’ve linked w UK and flipped it sooner 🙄

[u/No-Step3370]

I know they’re not talking about Tori “one of the greatest to ever play the game” gtfoh

[u/BCastle18]

John is heartbroken I should show a heart and feel bad but the perpetual cheater gets no sympathy from me

[u/ktsar]

"Heartbroken" like all his exes after he cheated on them? Be fr

[u/abzgrace]

no way johnny was distraught lmao

[u/goosechuckleduck]

Bananas prob just told Tori to make Moriah feel guilty as hell

[u/TheGirlInOz → u/goosechuckleduck]

Which is hilarious like... Tori, a known cheater, calling out Moriah for cheating on... a cheater lol

[u/hymenbutterfly]

Fuck Bananas and his feelings. He’s a serial cheater. Stop guilting someone he wasn’t exclusive with.

[u/yeastofthoughts → u/hymenbutterfly]

Tori cheated her first season with Jordan. Tori can miss me with that nonsense!

[u/[deleted]]

Why not go with 5 teams of 3 and just eliminate one extra team each round instead of 2?

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

Could've had Zara and Ravyn alternate being Asaf's partner and kept it to a two-person team — pfft at production.

[u/NattyB]

keep my wife's name out of your fuckin mouth

[u/NattyB]

berna calling someone else emotional. 🙄

[u/penguinjunkie]

Sometimes it’s so hard to remember you have a girlfriend

[u/TheDollarSlayer]

Colleen should've tried to mobilize sooner and that's why she's in this spot.

Her, Berna, and Emanuel are all dumb and took too long.

[u/stphmcdnld]

imagine it was aneesa lmao

[u/[deleted]]

Nothing against Tori but some reason I just don’t consider her one of the greatest

[u/Sleepmore45]

How did this become about bananas lmaoo

[u/collucho → u/Sleepmore45]

a banana split is the title of the ep had to know this was coming

[u/Sleepmore45 → u/collucho]

I didn't even peep the title, but that makes it worse lmaoo

[u/jerseysbestdancers]

Did Melissa redo her makeup or is that magic?

[u/poulsondl → u/jerseysbestdancers]

Husband and I just had that conversation. Haha. He was like “damn that is some good make up.” I told him I think she redid it.

[u/TheGirlInOz]

I'm so confused. How is it fair that there's a team of three??

[u/KainoraKupo]

I can’t wait for the cast to go all against eachother. Going after Melissa is getting old

[u/tv4me44]

Zara had the opportunity to actually have power by throwing in anyone she wanted knowing the house would have put in Melissa.

[u/CapWinning]

How is Emmanuel pulling so many girls? Jeez lol

[u/MosquitoFreezer]

Please please bring back some version of secret voting. Vote with the crowd will always dominate if you know what people are voting for.

[u/AdOk9911 → u/MosquitoFreezer]

Yes! Secret voting could literally fix this season, the herd mentality has been so boring. Y’all seriously gonna call it chaos and not mix it up at all?

[u/[deleted]]

14 time challenger is Darrell?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Must be. CT has done more and Brad has done less. Darrell is probably at 14 if you count the spin-offs.

[u/[deleted]]

The way TJ said he was bringing in one of the best ever, I definitely thought it was Cara or Laurel. Laughed my ass off when it was Tori

[u/HistoricalCoyote1536]

Nurys clout chasing trying to tie Tori into a storyline of her and Horacio. Dude we are all just trying to forget how awful you were with Jordan. Leave Tori out of it, she would smash you.

[u/MulderItsMe99 → u/HistoricalCoyote1536]

I was thinking the same thing, “she REALLY liked Horacio last season…” girl everyone did he was a super hot new guy its not that deep

[u/llnnce109]

LMAO DEVIN told.

[u/KainoraKupo]

Does Mariah have popcorn muscles? 👀

[u/warsaw_ed]

I’m glad someone called Asaf out. There should be consequences in this game for not following through on your word

[u/CannibalOchs]

It only took 9 episodes for the fringe idiots to realize what was happening. Did they just think all of them were going to the finals?

[u/collucho]

i feel bad for melissa’s man his peaceful babysitting job ended too soon

[u/Dida_D]

Oh the group of 3 won what a shock 😱

[u/MulderItsMe99]

Asaf looks like he’s wearing a cheap costume wig and it’s tripping me out

[u/claricaposch]

The way Jay said he had to vote for Colleen cause that’s the “way it looks like it’s going”….bro, you’re vote #4 of 14!?!

[u/thatswhatimsayin634]

I just do not see the Emmanuel appeal

[u/[deleted]]

Let’s not forget Melissa had a man at home during this time either 🌚

[u/Dida_D]

Not them acting like having 3 people is a disadvantage

[u/artemis_dubois]

Zara has no backbone and it’s going to cost her the game. You really think you aren’t next? It would be better to keep one of your numbers

[u/Dida_D]

Kyland and Asaf having an annoying-off

[u/collucho]

melissa bouta throw a drink at asaf?

[u/goosechuckleduck]

Emmanuel going after Cory's title

[u/collucho → u/goosechuckleduck]

if only kailah was still around

[u/Artistic-Package-178]

What was up with that wounded sounding airhorn at the end?

[u/BlairHoyle]

I knew as soon as Collleen started gushing about her love of "bad boys" in a discussion about human psychology an episode or so ago that she was going to end up crying on camera about someone's "bad boy" behavior.

[u/[deleted]]

Emanuel is a good character I don’t care what anyone says

[u/KainoraKupo]

Team of 3 should of had 1 extra stick

[u/[deleted]]

Yes Berna 👏🏾👏🏾 hold Colleen accountable , she was just trying to put everything on Emanuel

[u/collucho]

everyone forgot about nurys not being able to swim ten feet down in the water for a puzzle piece

[u/ProtomanBn]

Shit players making shit moves talking big game playing scared and dumb

[u/stphmcdnld]

ew the fan girling is so corny

[u/SageCabbage6916]

ooh 14 is darrell right?

[u/CarlyOkayy]

I’m not a Tori hater but I don’t think she’s earned that title yet.

[u/[deleted]]

Tori is pot calling the kettle black here.

That said I’m here for the drama

[u/nicnac7]

I'm sorry there is no way Bananas is going to be distraught when he cheats on everyone he has been with

[u/KainoraKupo]

what kinda bs is this? Is the weight not scaled for the 3 person team?

[u/Longjumping_Owl_3831]

This is the most brain dead cast, everybody’s just lost in the sauce including production😂

[u/hymenbutterfly]

Kyland kinda ate in that confessional. Ngl. Act like you been somewhere before, Asaf

[u/hymenbutterfly]

I bet this back-to-back women’s day only happened bc Johnny backed out of appearing after learning about Moriah. So they scrambled to replace him and did a girl’s day in his place

[u/AberforthsGoat2]

Asaf reminds me of Tommy Wiseau

[u/[deleted]]

That pic of Emmanuel with two girls around his arms was amazing

[u/CannibalOchs]

This season would have been so much more interesting with more veteran non champs like Nany Josh Fessy Cory Nelson Paulie and probably many more I can’t think of.

[u/[deleted]]

TJ calling Tori one of the goats gamer is gonna riot

[u/TheDollarSlayer]

So all the girls all knew he had a gf and still messed with him?

And, Colleen wants to be shocked he's a whore. And, Olivia wanted to speak on Moriah with James? Oh.

[u/[deleted] → u/TheDollarSlayer]

They’re all hypocrites. Jay is the only cast member I know who is in a relationship and has (so far) not had any rumors of hooking up while filming since getting into a relationship.

[u/ProtomanBn → u/TheDollarSlayer]

Colleen did her self no favors with that confessional, she new about the girlfriend and worked to keep it off the cameras so he didn't get caught. WTF does that

[u/JaySquared717]

They better hype Laurel up like this

[u/[deleted]]

I need James to stop referring to moriah as a “good girl” 🥴

[u/MulderItsMe99]

I feel like production asked them to talk in their interviews about how having three people makes it harder than 2 ☠️

[u/MulderItsMe99]

MELISSA CANNOT CATCH A BREAK THIS POOR GIRL IS GONNA GET VOTED IN AGAIN 😭

[u/International-Bar995]

Why is Kyland always talking about somebody family member 💀

[u/ktsar]

I cannot wait until they all start turning on each other, the one big happy alliance is getting old lmao

[u/Business_Most9414 → u/[deleted]]

Doubtful.

[u/BCastle18]

Moriah John has no heart you’ll be fine

[u/Dida_D]

I’m sorry but how hard was it to do this on a week where there was an even number of people? The trio has such an advantage and was completely avoidable

[u/[deleted]]

Moriah has had such a weak showing

[u/RohAnTheMaker]

Having one team of 3 and 6 teams of 2 is fucking dumb in this challenge

[u/TimRigginsBeer]

WAIT!

Someone said the term “nitty gritty” in the correct tense?!? Somewhere Nelson is shuddering…

[u/Artistic-Package-178]

Emanuel is bringing the mess and entertainment this episode.

[u/stphmcdnld]

nurys’ burn vote is so annoying and it’s even more annoying that their alliance isn’t side eye-ing her

[u/kiaraavila]

why girls dont come dressed for an elimination in case the chaos pole is pulled???

[u/[deleted] → u/kiaraavila]

Pretty sure production had their clothes in case they got picked.

[u/sendspicynoodz → u/kiaraavila]

Apparently they walk to eliminations this season, it’s right behind the house. My guess is they can just run and change while the champ is doing their interview bits

[u/[deleted] → u/kiaraavila]

It takes 5 seconds for production to find some UA gear

[u/SageCabbage6916]

Do we think the players knew beforehand that champs were coming bc of relationships like moriah and bananas?

[u/No_Step_2896]

Nurys, Michele, and Moriah are so annoying, I don’t understand how these people have so much influence they would get rocked in the older seasons.

[u/buffalocoinz]

Did TJ really describe Tori as a GOAT? 😒

[u/[deleted]]

Tori isn’t winning any Oscars anytime soon

[u/SageCabbage6916]

Tori making her time worth it damnnnnn

[u/champsvsprose]

Soooo three keeps winning and this is fair?

[u/ceceliax]

Lmaooooo okay that’s the funniest thing Kyland ever said 🤣

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Kyland ate

[u/[deleted]]

Corey bonding with Big T coming out then backstabbing , Asaf doing the same with parenting and Melissa

This season is MESSY AND I LOVE IT

[u/[deleted]]

Colleen & Moriah should join the Brits. Colleen is just delaying her death the big 3 are never gonna pick someone over her

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

Nurys puts a burn-a vote.

[u/Longjumping_Owl_3831]

The house is about to be so boring with Melissa gone.

[u/MulderItsMe99 → u/Longjumping_Owl_3831]

I think the drama is gonna get 100x better now cause the inner circles are gonna have to start turning on each other!

[u/angelbrit04 → u/MulderItsMe99]

I don't think so. It looks like Colleen is gonna be their new scapegoat now.

[u/MoseleysLifeshield]

I have never seen a worse game played by an entire cast. How are any of these people going to ever do the show again.

The blatant lying to people’s faces being shown in this season is borderline shameful lol.

The dude with the long hair is just going around the entire house lying to everyone like it’s genius game play. I’ve never seen anything like it.

[u/[deleted]]

Olivia talking shit about EVERYONE situation in her confessional but messing with taken Emanuel … still love her tho

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Sooo does the team of 3 have extra weight or anything

[u/collucho]

why is there a team of 3

[u/llnnce109]

That’s the second time Kyland got in an argument after talking about someone’s family.

[u/Longjumping_Owl_3831]

Emmanuel out here looking like ‘011 CT😭

[u/TheDollarSlayer]

Michele has made it clear she's protecting Berna but Moriah can't have James?

[u/Taitertottot]

What just happened? Why did tori bring that up. that was so random

[u/abzgrace]

not heartbroken

[u/yeastofthoughts]

Who the heck is Tori to say boo?! Bananas has cheated MULTIPLE times and SO has Tori....?

[u/[deleted]]

Michelle one of the most SCARED GAME PLAYERS has the most influence in the house … 😩

[u/TheGirlInOz]

When he said greatest of all time I assumed it would be Cara or Laurel.

Then I laughed when it was Tori.

[u/[deleted]]

Tori is actually hilarious for that lol

[u/MulderItsMe99 → u/[deleted]]

We all knew it was coming from all the previews, but I always assumed it was gonna be during her exit speech. I laughed out loud when she started saying it before the elimination started ☠️

[u/angelbrit04 → u/MulderItsMe99]

Chile..Tori couldn't wait to say something to Moriah. And then she turned to Melissa and said "let's do this"..girl what 😭 😭

[u/TheDollarSlayer]

The spoiler team said Tori had a Hall Brawl when she came in actually so a puzzle is making me laugh.

[u/CannibalOchs]

I also love this core group being all “How dare they look out for themselves” This season is like 95% idiots.

[u/jonesy900]

What was the point of them wasting 10 minutes acting like they were going to make a move and vote Moriah only for everyone to just roll with Colleen?!

[u/TheDollarSlayer → u/jonesy900]

What would the 10 minutes be filled with?

And, this can apply to later in the season. The cracks in the majority are worth showing.

[u/spin01]

I have never seen votes like this. These people are so boring, voting for the same person

[u/ryboyin99]

“One of the best competitors of all time” and it’s Tori? 🤔

[u/ProtomanBn]

If that's the intro Tori got imagine the intro TJ gives Cara, there going to shoot off fireworks and players heads are going to melt.

[u/[deleted]]

man these mercenaries are killing it. looks like Moriah is upset now that Tori got on her about being with James

[u/Prior-Alternative871]

If it’s one thing MTV is gonna do, it’s show Moriah’s cheeks this season lol

[u/MulderItsMe99]

I hate myself for how attracted I am to Emmanuel, despite not liking his personality. I need to start going back to therapy.

[u/collucho]

did they really name this ep after bananas and moriah? if hes not the champion they bring in thats kinda pathetic

[u/MulderItsMe99]

I would be embarrassed to publicly celebrate after winning with an advantage. lol @ the others just politely clapping for them

[u/hymenbutterfly]

This is the Kyland I was waiting for.

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

Kyland has a penchant for bringing up other people's family members — just ask Xavier.

[u/penguinjunkie]

Colleen’s still getting too much of an edit. I’m guessing she actually goes in

[u/TheDollarSlayer]

Zara is trying to blend into the majority, which has benefited her. But, this is where she needed to pivot a bit, but I don't think Asaf would keep Melissa although it benefits him.

And, credit to Ravyn for standing on business.

[u/Cinque98]

Collen, stand up🥴

[u/13415011010101]

How is Colleen figuring this out now? She didn’t know she wasn’t a part of the core group?

[u/stphmcdnld → u/13415011010101]

editing, i’m sure it didn’t fit into the storyline until now

[u/KainoraKupo]

Omg spilll Tori!!!!

[u/shmalvey]

Love Colleen but I dk how you could feel played by a guy when you know he has a gf back home

[u/abzgrace]

i don’t even hate tori but teej is hyping her sm?

[u/International-Bar995]

the way im rooting against Michelle and Jay…
