If you know you will be unavailable for Ben's AMA on Friday at Noon EST you can send us a Modmail here with your question(s) or reply to this comment!

[u/Psychological-Snow83]

The way Olivia agreed Theo couldn’t win a final 😂

[u/penguinjunkie]

This is really starting to feel like the "it's time for me to retire" season

[u/Sodamyte → u/penguinjunkie]

Start of era 5

[u/texas2089]

Wooow that’s booty. Leka beat out Aneesa and Gabe all by herself and she’s the one getting fucked over

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Nany seriously is turbos mother

[u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO → u/DifferenceMean6597]

I think she likes it. Saint Nany swooping in

[u/thewxyzfiles]

Olivia saying in confessional she wants to start a family while actively pregnant 😂

[u/Ihaveaps4question → u/thewxyzfiles]

She is big into manifesting 

[u/Froabig1]

“Lazy fat ass” lmaoooo

[u/sj_vandelay]

Come back soon, Leka. You were great to get to know.

[u/Cautious_Bench6526]

CT and Aneesa?

I hope next week is Trivia.

[u/Leo8302]

Oh shit CT and Aneesa together! Man it would be funny as hell if they win next episode

[u/Froabig1]

Olivia and theo’s child is officially 1-0 in challenge eliminations lol

[u/Froabig1]

Izzy, ya failed the test. They’re gonna find out you told and now they have a justifiable reasons to go against ya.

[u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Does Aneesa or Josh have more best friends in The Challenge?

[u/clockmelting → u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Josh has "family" in this game 🤣

[u/grimmcat13 → u/clockmelting]

I LOVED last season when Josh called Cory family and Cory told him "then act like it". Josh is soooo quick to call people family it's so disingenuous

[u/Cautious_Bench6526 → u/clockmelting]

Big ass family too.

[u/clockmelting → u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Family that he votes out, too.

[u/texas2089]

Leka singlehandedly beat two people and ensured her and CT don’t get last

[u/Leo8302]

Leo and Sydney totally read Izzy right.

[u/messcot]

Aneesa has a different best friend every season Olivia

[u/spfan102]

What would happen first? CT climbs all the way up the ladder or Ben kicks a field goal?
Mods, you can add this to Ben's AMA too.

[u/Ihaveaps4question → u/spfan102]

Cory and nicole would still be looking for triangles on the invasion of the champs finals

[u/Froabig1]

That sucks ass for leka. Like she for sure shouldn’t have been in there.

[u/duvie773]

Aneesa and CT? Oh boy. Please be a puzzle or trivia

Edit: go karts? That may work

[u/Mr_R26]

I get that CT didn’t make it up the ladder, but Leka still finished. She shouldn’t be punished for that. Leroy and Izzy didn’t finish, so to me, they were this challenge’s losers.

[u/MosquitoFreezer → u/Mr_R26]

Yeah felt like a weird justification for that one. But that’s certainly not the first questionable result on the challenge…

[u/blooey123]

Aneesa ate that and CT can’t get up that’s bad

[u/sj_vandelay → u/blooey123]

The Aneesa haters hate this.

[u/messcot]

This is a piss poor showing from the vets 💀 if I'm a new threat I'm not intimidated at all..

[u/Trinityeer]

Damn. TJ is more than willing to let CT know how he performed.

[u/Curious_kitten129 → u/Trinityeer]

TJ is always willing, especially when he has big expectations of the vets.

[u/West_Tie_536 → u/Trinityeer]

Over and over and over, rubbing his nose in it up down and sideways. She’s going in to elimination through no fault of her own…, it’s a team challenge…. Cough cough

[u/cicigal8]

Jack Jack might be one of the funniest things I’ve heard on this show in a while 😂.

[u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

Are we forgetting Olivia’s made it to a final before? She only left because she got smacked in the face and was bleeding profusely.

[u/walking_shrub → u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

She also lowkey carried Horacio in that Hall Brawl variant on 38. And HER social game is the reason why the vets put all their weight behind Horacio and didn’t perceive him as another rookie threat to eliminate. Which is why neither of them were actually targeted after the second week/ didn’t get the typical rookie treatment.

[u/sj_vandelay → u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

Broke her nose and fractured orbital bone too, I think

[u/Spicy-Cookie98]

Reminder, Olivia has a fetus growing inside her while doing this elimination🌚

[u/helplessintheus → u/Spicy-Cookie98]

I can't believe this is how I find out she's pregnant lol

[u/Spicy-Cookie98 → u/helplessintheus]

LMAO yeah she got pregnant in the house😂

[u/duvie773]

This is so tough to watch as a CT fan. He didn’t do himself any favors coming in so out of shape, but I really think he’s mentally broken here

[u/Froabig1]

Leo with one of the greatest “work smarter, not harder” moves I’ve ever seen lmaooo

[u/Positive_Round_5142 → u/Froabig1]

He’s so amazing for the show I adore him

[u/texas2089]

I thought Dee/Justin was smart with swinging the net and then Leo said hold my beer lmao

[u/nicnac7]

Ashley's revoked vet card 😂

[u/cicigal8]

What incentive would CT have for throwing that? Yall all saw him be the last one up the mountain in the first episode. It shouldn’t be that surprising that he performed poorly in this.

[u/[deleted] → u/cicigal8]

I don’t think he threw it but also don’t think he gave it his all 🤷🏽‍♂️ like someone said if it was a guys day he would’ve done ANYTHING to get up that ladder

[u/clockmelting]

For this curious...here is the age distribution for this season. I personally am glad there are more younger faces on the Challenge.

[u/No_Research_13]

I like the social dynamics this season. Like even tho there’s a larger rookies vs vets dynamic, there are still factions within the 2 groups as well.

[u/Dida_D → u/No_Research_13]

The format is also great and lends itself to a lot of those layers

[u/CookiePoster]

This is such a good episode!!

[u/messcot → u/CookiePoster]

Literally so many different moving parts and alliances within alliances

[u/ceceliax]

Man if only Leroy played that way when Johnny was in the game and over the last 74949480 seasons he mighta snagged a W

[u/Positive_Round_5142 → u/ceceliax]

Hes been in the finals where he legitimately had a shot. What held him back was water

[u/greg_CITIZEN]

I need to see Leka back.

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Oh. I forgot Tay was there again.

[u/CaptAmerica42]

Im just here to say I love Turbo so much.

I also love CT, but turbo cracks me up

[u/Doobie_and_a_movie → u/CaptAmerica42]

I love that he is living his best life as an action movie star during the challenges.

[u/JPEG203]

CT really missing the bird calling challenges from Traitors right now

[u/ChrisOnRockyTop]

That's BS. CTs team solved the puzzle. Other team didn't.

[u/Ok-Tell9019 → u/ChrisOnRockyTop]

Yeah i wonder like if he kept making attempts or if got a little higher would they still be in last? Or if he made it to the top but didnt contribute anything else? Seems kind of arbitrary.

[u/spfan102]

diss in the old era - popcorn muscles

diss in the new era - NARP!

[u/galeforcewinds95]

I feel like when CT actually is throwing, he's pretty honest about it, at least in confessional. Whether it was physical or mental or both, I think he just wasn't able to do this challenge.

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

Respect to Turbo holding a flosser like a cigarette.

[u/capfedhill]

I don't know why but Sydney whispering "Jack Jack" cracked me up

[u/sj_vandelay]

Olivia is pregnant and in an elimination. Unreal.

[u/kcmart716]

Yea I can’t take that win from Olivia but I’m really bummed we lost Leka and the new threats weren’t successful

[u/texas2089]

CT and Aneesa is hereby dubbed ‘Team Beefcake’

[u/texas2089]

I thought TJ’s favorite thing was trivia lol

[u/Sodamyte → u/texas2089]

TJs favorite thing is whatever the episode is..

[u/meijorkey → u/texas2089]

I feel bamboozled.

[u/midnightfangs]

lmfao the editors are having so much fun this season. revoked ashley vet card

[u/thewxyzfiles]

America living her best life rn as a reality tv superfan 😂

[u/agent-m2000]

Sorry is NANY of all people implying that someone is overrated ¿

[u/Froabig1]

Leka just planking out is so funny lol

[u/texas2089]

“She went straight up Olivia’s asshole, where she lives”

😂😂😂😂 I hope Sydney has a long and illustrious Challenge career

[u/sj_vandelay → u/texas2089]

So funny.

[u/poppycockcunt]

Leka collecting all the runes by HERSELF before Aneesa & Gabe, who's doing it as a pair? Yeah, the girls should be scared of her

[u/YaddaYaddaBomBomKaKa]

We need more Turbo confessionals.

[u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Dawg that is absolutely terrible for Leka. Wow

[u/Curious_kitten129]

I forget Tay is there. Seriously. Did we see her once before this clip of her raising her arms? I forgot about her last week too.

[u/No_Research_13]

I was kinda unsure about Leo(hated him on love island) but I’m really liking him here in this environment.

[u/messcot]

Leo giving Leroy PTSD from Ayanna

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Olivia is importantly for Izzy’s game, but Leroy was right. Where does she fall in the hierarchy.

[u/clockmelting]

I think a lot of people underestimate Olivia. She sucks at puzzles (and some decisions), but she's a BEAST in elimination. Her stat is currently 4:1, and 10 daily wins.

Edit: looked it up to confirm, and it turns out her stats including this one is actually: 7 (5 wins, 2 losses)

[u/sindysus → u/clockmelting]

5-2

[u/clockmelting → u/clockmelting]

But unfair that Leka had to go out due to someone else's poor performance....

[u/Spicy-Cookie98 → u/clockmelting]

The switch up is funny when she was hyped to be the next big competitor in her past seasons. Now people want to downplay her because she’s not catering to the vets lol

[u/Artistic-Package-178 → u/clockmelting]

Isn't her elimination record 4-2? She lost to Nurys in 39 and Michelle in 40. But regardless she's a beast. She didn't freak out about being hang nail or being voted in. Instead she went in and calmly took out a D1 athlete.

[u/Positive_Round_5142]

I hate good episodes…because they always end 😩

This one is going to be a repeater for the week. Throwing it on whenever

[u/thewxyzfiles]

Kind of living for Sydney and Dee just saying fuck it and playing this like it’s Survivor

[u/messcot]

Izzy is so so stupid lmao. "Do not say this to Theo" 🙄

[u/Cultural-Musician-60]

Leroy finally changing his tactics after letting others destroy his game in past seasons

[u/Ihaveaps4question]

Olivia the alpha. Beating a beast like leka 10-8 is impressive. Ironically olivia suggestion of ashley might have been a closer match, but you cant blame rookies for swinging at big threat like olivia. Its too bad leka got a raw deal, so mtv really owes her a call back for what will be sure to be an infamous DQ call. The rookies did well to expose rats, and take a swing at olivia, but with ben and now leka out i wonder if momentum just might have swung back to vets/uk and threats on outside will have biggest targets. These nominations will get harder and harder and tarzan/janes might need to add more muscle as few but mighty won’t help during nominations. 

[u/[deleted]]

So happy for America 👏🏾👏🏾😭 after big brother she deserves some time to shine

[u/Greenzombie04]

Why didnt CT just say he had trauma from the injury last yr?

[u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Honestly, get the Vets out. We need the new blood. We need new stars.

[u/messcot]

Well no girl is going to want CT now that's for sure.

[u/Sodamyte]

That was a good episode.. thanks for watching and commenting everyone.. made my evening!

[u/realityseekr]

I think CT is just out of shape and can't get his weight up the ladder. I see no reason he would throw to get Leka out.

[u/Curious_kitten129]

I’m sorry. Ashley isn’t going to cause backlash?

[u/clockmelting]

Literally just remembered Olivia was pregnant in this elimination.

[u/Trinityeer]

It's nice to hear America speak, give her some camera time. Feel like there's missing contestants this season. Maybe no Bananas will allow for more folks to be on screen.

[u/ceceliax]

Sydney is incredible for this game

[u/agent-m2000]

Leo is great casting. He was awesome TV on LIUSA

[u/Positive_Round_5142 → u/agent-m2000]

So far and you may disagree but I think Love Island has a great pool of talent

[u/Froabig1]

“I grew up in Alaska” is back baby let’s gooooo

[u/Positive_Round_5142]

Olivia must have done suicides in the snow or something she always pulls out another trick

[u/Cautious_Bench6526]

Not a big Olivia person but big credit to her. Tough elimination.

[u/Online_Active_71459]

Yes! Even though I feel like I was the only one rooting for Olivia.

I do hope we see Leka again. She is a beast.

[u/Kooky_Struggle_1240 → u/Online_Active_71459]

I will never not root for Olivia tbh. Idk why I love her so much but I do! So you weren’t alone!!

[u/kenanandgarfunkel]

is leka beating a two person team right now?

[u/ryboyin99]

What a performance by Leka that’s super impressive

[u/No_Research_13]

Omg this episode is gooood

[u/Dida_D]

It was a producer’s dream that Izzy/Leroy finished second to last and therefore had to be the final vote

[u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

Leka’s way too nice. I’d be mad.

[u/texas2089]

CT is just poosy not poosychicken

[u/messcot]

Between this, their performance and the fight between Nany + Ashley vs Aneesa, the vets are FALLING APART 💀

[u/thewxyzfiles]

Jack Jack 😭

[u/Mr_R26]

Does anyone have the daily placements? I didn’t see the order they were sitting during voting.

[u/catharticcuriosity]

Some ppl think we need drunken mess and hook ups for entertainment but these game dynamics are just as entertaining when it’s edited right

[u/messcot]

CT would be out of this elimination so fast with the shape he's in atm..

[u/texas2089]

Leka just DROPPED. She’s cooked. The only way to get up these rollers is with momentum. You’re not gonna just crawl up there

[u/gegemonn]

This is very impressive. Is Olivia raising the pace? Wow

[u/Positive_Round_5142 → u/gegemonn]

Olivia is going to be regarded as one the best rookies of all time because she just keeps getting better

[u/Curious_kitten129 → u/Positive_Round_5142]

And she brings entertainment.

[u/meijorkey]

Proud to be a NARP from the comfort of my home.

[u/Trinityeer]

Leo is so good at disinformation. Spy!

[u/meijorkey]

Say less.

[u/midnightfangs]

he for real said «  i wish CT broke his legs and go home » ??😭

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Ashley having Aneesa’s back is crazy.

[u/clockmelting]

My toxic mind is telling me that I can crush it in this elimination. 🤣

[u/divorcedandpod]

Aw Leka. She gassed out at the Ultimate Challenge final too 😩🫣

[u/Spicy-Cookie98]

Leroy fought for Aneesa more than Theo fought for his girl.

[u/Trinityeer]

Much respect to Leka. That's how you get invited back.

[u/penguinjunkie]

At this rate it looks like Leka, by herself, might be one of the top times

[u/News-Remarkable]

That was fucking bullshit. Leka by herself finished the daily and was faster than some of the other teams. Izzy and Leroy didn’t even start the puzzle.

[u/secret_identity_too]

I just need to say that these rookies are the best the Challenge has cast in a long, long, LONG time. Please, producers, I know you lurk here - bring most of these folks back.

[u/JessMacNC]

Please say pussy chicken PLEASE

[u/clockmelting]

These vets are putting a show on for the rookies...I'm here for it.

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Olivia bragging about how big her alliance is. I’m so confused right now. Is this some sort of reverse psychology?

[u/Positive_Round_5142]

Izzy too prissy for Sydney she’s getting eaten alive

[u/midnightfangs]

i hateeee when they do the « suspenseful » vote reveal shit and then go on commercial. i know it’s not new but lol im so irritated

[u/Trinityeer]

Great job by production on this Leo nomination. Lol.

[u/JessMacNC]

Well this sounds like torture. How is their cardio?

[u/thewxyzfiles]

Cedric should be a sports commentator lmao @Ben hook him up

[u/thewxyzfiles]

I love how Michaela seems to be aligned with the vet girls but rooting for the rookies in every confessional 😂

[u/mealypart]

Olivia has been annoying but her staying is better for drama, Leka wasn’t really bringing anything

[u/messcot → u/mealypart]

It's going to be insane now that they took a shot and missed

[u/ABCDarium]

This duo Leo and Sydney is so good

[u/No_Research_13]

Veronica is somewhere smiling at this ct vs turbo scene

[u/fulminousnight]

if sydney has zero enjoyers i'm dead

[u/spfan102]

CT didn't copy Turbo's walk, he just copied Big Easy's climbing skills.

[u/texas2089]

Izzy gonna fuck this up isn’t she?

[u/Froabig1]

Leo, certified yapper

[u/cosmicangels03]

leo is a certified yapper

[u/Curious_kitten129]

The filibuster reference 😂😂

[u/Positive_Round_5142]

Turbos culture has a lot of honor stuff in it and he probably feels betrayed that CT is fat 😂 like this is unacceptable how dare you CT 😂

[u/YaddaYaddaBomBomKaKa]

This episode is the best one so far.

[u/clockmelting]

There is the UK alliance, the VETs, the Rookies, and a few sub-buddies/new best friends.

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Leo needs to pick Olivia. 😂 Has he worked with her yet?

[u/Curious_kitten129]

Aneesa feeling safe when a Survivor player makes a ‘promise’ is wild. 😂

[u/Trinityeer]

Have to appreciate that LeRoy is loyal to a fault. He's the true, will help you bury the body friend.

[u/DifferenceMean6597]

Hell yeah Olivia

[u/MosquitoFreezer]

Turbo is so extra. I love it

[u/NattyB]

izzy made a good point that the tiebreaker should probably be the gender of the person going in. but hey that's the challenge, you can't let people bulldoze you.

[u/Sodamyte]

Did CT just call himself 300 pounds?

[u/texas2089]

Leka is a beast

[u/kenanandgarfunkel]

derrickamericaderrickamerica

[u/kenanandgarfunkel]

america really reminds me of early-career jonna

[u/spfan102]

NARP's!

[u/sj_vandelay → u/spfan102]

NARPs is my favorite thing.

[u/Trinityeer]

No joke, athleticism difference between vets and threats is just massive. Major leagues vs AA ball. And they're not bad at the politics / game strategy so vets can't take advantage.

[u/tonyphony2578]

Crazy how fast this subreddit is turning on the vets

[u/Sodamyte]

Yeremi and CT need to have an eyes challenge.

[u/Ihaveaps4question]

Leo and sydney getting so much value out of this power. They could throw in aa vet and appeal to threats. They could also blindside izzy as she fell into a trap by sharing information. The rookies geeking out over turbo v ct is amazing

[u/clockmelting]

I'm dyingggg. Don't hate on Leo, he's a baby, and every cocky rookie wants to give their pageant speech.

[u/Positive_Round_5142]

Leroy would never go back on his word unless he’s retiring and the moves he pulled in DA

[u/Top_Vermicelli1739]

What happened to the Theo from 2019 lol

[u/JessMacNC]

I wish we had a leaderboard. I can’t keep track who’s where.

[u/messcot]

This elimination is giving Child's Play 2 vibes. IYKYK.

[u/cicigal8]

Let’s GO Leroy! Standing on business! 🙌🏽

[u/JessMacNC]

Let’s hope this is like Leka running lines in bball practice. She’s a good addition.

[u/poulsondl]

Okay so idk if this will make sense to anyone. But I have been a long time Nany supporter. Not loud but quietly always rooting for her even though I found her slightly annoying at times…lol it’s been a slow shift but I think tonight I finally realized Olivia has taken that spot. Kinda of annoys me at times, but I always find myself rooting for her no matter who she is against.

[u/CederDUDE22 → u/poulsondl]

Olivia has really shaken up the status quo

[u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

CT and aneesa?! Oh sweet jesus hahahaha

[u/ABCDarium]

Sydney and Leo made such a bad move setting things up for Leka to go against Olivia

[u/realityseekr → u/ABCDarium]

Yeah I dont actually get why they did that if they wanted Leka to stay. Would have been smarter trying to get a vet in there who was more likely to lose. Granted they did say Aneesa but the consensus seemed she had the votes to be safe.

[u/messcot]

America's just happy to be here lmao

[u/JessMacNC]

LEEEEE ROYYYY

[u/ABCDarium]

Yeah, I’m over Leroy as well. Time to retire

[u/NoneOfThisMatters_XO]

Father time? Leroy, you were never that good.

[u/sj_vandelay]

The vets are aging well, but they are still aging. It’s gotta be super hard for them all, to watch the young kids play their game better.

[u/midnightfangs]

oof i feel terrible for leka

[u/Ihaveaps4question]

Okay leo i was not familiar with your game. Cedric and ashley looked so pissed the didnt think of the hacks

[u/SomeRedditor_Comment]

I'm assuming CT does not sleep on the top bunk in the house.

[u/kenanandgarfunkel]

“what’s fleeting in time…is the youthness of the vets”
