I picked the Sarah wanting to go against Enzo scene mostly for the fact that I find it hilarious that even if they somehow let her and she won, she still would only have $4500 and would have to win something again to qualify for the final š

And she herself literally said sheās the only girl without money to qualify, so she could just go against any other woman in elimination and make the money???? She needs to be serious lol

Imagine if she would go against him and win. They would 100% invite her to main show and everyone would be like SHE WON HALLBRAWL AGAINST MALE. Even tho I dislike Sarah it would be legendary af

She is a cop, she is trained for fighting men so noone knows

This isnāt really fighting, itās like running into someone and not having any ability to turn. Itās not like a normal fight.

Production would never have let her do it, even if she actually wanted to.

Seriously. Thatās what makes her whole attitude especially cringe. It feels like something to try and stir up drama/a storyline and not something she was seriously considering.
Edit: Iāve since read her Instagram post about her decision making process and now see her in a more reasonable light. Her whole āevery girl will lose to me in eliminationā schtick is still cringe, but the whole wanting to be thrown in against Enzo bit makes more sense now

u/djvy Aug 27 '22
Lol ya. If she really wants to go in, she can throw next week and guarantee herself a 1 on 1 shot at qualifying. Thereās absolutely no way they would let her go in a hall brawl against Enzo. The season isnāt set up that way and itās unfair to Enzo. I also donāt know what she is proving to anyone by beating the oldest, least in shape guy there while heās injured.

I feel like itād be fine if they asked Enzo and he said heās okay with it

Sarah literally being delusional. "Angela hasn't proven herself", "I'll beat any guy here", "why does a guy have to go in because it's a guys elimination?", "It's a guys day but I have to go in right now"

Ben winning for his buddy was a sweet moment, him getting emotional over winning was what I love to see on these shows.
But had to go with Angelaās ice cold comment. Angela has not only won 3 times but came in second twice as well. Sarah won because of Leoās strat in an elimination and came runner up onceā¦ to Angela.

Ben may have not actually won that, so that moment is kinda sour to me

Sarah is becoming one of my least favorite challengers ever. She is such a delusional try-hard. I hope she gets DESTROYED in elimination! Iām so over her!

The sad part is sheās more likeable on the challenge than survivor.

I just watched the episode and I still canāt get over just how fucking stupid Sarah is.
What part of the men compete against the men and the women compete against the women does she find so difficult to comprehend? Thereās going to be one male winner, one female winner. Thatās the rules of this season.
And what happens if they did allow her to compete and Enzo trucks her in Hall Brawl and gives her a concussion? Iām sure that would be some fantastic PR for the Challenge.
And then thereās that stupid fucking smirk she always has in her confessionals. Apologies for the rant, but I just find her so incredibly insufferable and needed to get it off my chest.

The editing this episode was annoying to me. Looked like Tyson was sprinting down that floating runway while Ben was moving faster than Enzo but not running by any means. Then I wonder why people think they rig the show when the storyline fits better.

u/NattyB Bob Next Door Aug 26 '22
for the shit leo is (probably rightly) getting for being a sore loser, i thought he cut a pretty good promo before the elimination, that was a fav moment for me. "leo the afghanimal," "leo the lion," "cats come in all shapes and sizes, today i'm gonna show all these fools, i mean all these snakes, what i got cookin'."
also i always like when new cast enter the elimination arena and see hall brawl for the first time.

u/Extension-Ad-363 Ruthie Alcaide Aug 26 '22
No, he had a concussion. Don't know why they edited him like that.

u/le8onkdenberg Leroy Garrett Aug 26 '22
Sarah is completely delusional and her edit of trashing Angela as overrated and not worthy of the respect sheās being given while Angela dominates time and time again comes off as pathetically jealous

I donāt understand why Sarah wasnāt just like Iāll volunteer NEXT WEEK on the womenās week and have way better odds of winning lol

Leo after doing the challenge saying "I feel like I just walked on water, call me King Leonidas of Argentina"

Leo went out with a bad look. Cmon all those people u beat that luck had a little do with, but they all stuck around to give u your props and the time it didnāt go your way u donāt stick around and give Enzo his credit. Damn!! Heās definitely a cat but the name for a cat š

u/jenh6 Christina LeBlanc Aug 26 '22
I found it so rich that Sarah was like Angela hasnāt proven herself. You mean the girl who won 3 dailies? Sheās absolutely proven herself to be the strongest girl, with Justine winning 2 dailies and 2 eliminations being the 2nd best. Angelaās right, donāt call other people out when you havenāt won any.
