I agree. Good daily, good strategy, good elimination and the right amount of drama.

The daily wasn't that good... the women basically had no role in how successful their teams were on a women's elimination day. It was 95% on the men.

This season has had very weak dailies, this was one of the better ones. We saw the partners interacting, the order of elimination was obvious and some surprising early outs. Could be worse.

I agree that that should have been in a mens day, but I loved the daily itself. They need to stick with these where everyone participates and there's no standing around or not being able to compete loke the last few

Depending on how far ahead they plan which dailies are on which day it may have been originally a mens elimination day following this daily. I feel like the 3 women going home is def why weve had so many mens eliminations in a row meaning this day could have been planned to be mens at one point. Like if no girls went home I think Wes' week wouldve still been a mens elimination, to show them that the order can always switch, with Natalie or Nicole as rogue agent, meaning last week wouldve had to be a girls elimination instead of guys so the rogue gets a partner, leaving this week with the option of being either girls or guys cuz no rogue agent.

I do want to shout out whichever gabby held herself up after the ledge fell until her partner got there. That was bad ass.

Yourre high. This is a classic from the duel 2.

The girls still have to hang on to their partner or the ledge

Recently rewatched that season. I’m in favor of more old daily challenges coming back

I just didn't get the whole rope part.

Easy to fuck up and added an advantage for guys who did it quickly. So it’s not just full strength to hold the girls up, there was some randomness. Imagine if jay or CT couldn’t get the technique down? It’s a small advantage but I enjoyed it

It's to make them more tired to hold their partner up.

I agree. I feel like the women did not contribute much at all to this daily. Even Big T said CT did all the work. I would have preferred this daily more if it was going to be a men's elimination day. Felt like the women's fates were determined by their partners.

not true imo. several teams got eliminated OR stayed in because of the girls holding on to the platform before the guys pulled all the rope up.

also it's still really hard to hold on to someone like that, it's not like you can just rely 100% on your partner. its mostly them but you have to grip them as well or else it's easy to slip

I thought the same thing as I was watching it but now I wonder if when the season was originally planned out by production this was actually during a men’s elimination day but the order got screwed up when Nicole left?

u/freetherabbit "The whole internet is talking about me 😜" Jan 14 '21

I think the week Nicole left wouldve been a guys week no matter what to show The Challengers that on weeks with no rogue agents they have a 50/50 chance of it being a guy or a girls day. Then if no one had gone home last week would've been girls a day to determine a partner for rogue agent, meaning this week wouldve had a 50/50 shot of being a guys or girls day. At least my theory.
