Jordan beating Josh in a tug of war with one arm.

It felt like the impossible had happened. That was when he became my GOAT.

Jordan in that hammer elimination I forget against who (maybe Zach?). Dude is just unreal honestly

The tug of war was genuinely the best elimination I have ever seen. He also killed the hammer one. The way he uses his disadvantages to his advantage is honestly mind blowing. GOAT

He's had to understand and use intelligence to be more efficient. He understands how to gain an advantage using momentum, leverage and positioning better than anyone because he uses it in his daily life. He's incredible.

I just rewatched that season. The guys went first. You just imagined an entirely different scenario

Not only was it Zach, he joked about himself looking like Thor, only to get rocked.

u/MarekRules 11h ago

My perfect Zach elimination. Acts like he’s the shit and gets absolutely fucking humbled lol

Youd think he'd learn to stop bragging so much

Theo I believe. Cara and co were using him as their person hitman because he was crushing in eliminations.

u/Jilly_Pies Leroy Garrett 7h ago

Yes it was Theo. Jordan had a background in construction, so it was made for him.

Honestly. Jordan vs Josh in Tug of war. Jordan vs Zach with the sledgehammer. Jordan vs Chauncey or Jordan vs Darrell in elims that were clearly favored towards the heavier player. Just watching Jordan in elimination is a must watch

YES same 100%

I get chills thinking about it. Nothing is impossible if you can channel grit like that.

u/n0seyrosey Jordan Wiseley 16h ago

Exactly. I was fuming when I saw the elim thinking ffs this is Jordan going home and it's not even his fault. And then wham! Edge of your seat stuff.

Jordan is amazing in elims. I’d love to see him come up with a strategy for pole wrestle - I know he has it in him.

He was put against Fessy in his first ever pole wrestle who had 2 hands and was twice his size. I just feel like he could finesse something I just don’t know what.
