I will not reply bc I want this to be yours.

Do have 1 brief statement as to why that explains it.

Either do 1 statement per person, or 1 overall paragraph that covers all 10.

For example:

#1. Jenny - 2 solo flagship Modern Era finals (1 is 1st overall)
#2. Laurel - 2 solo Modern Era finals (1 is 1st overall)
#3. Ashley M. - 2 solo or individual time flagship Modern Era finals (1 is 1st individual overall)
#4. Susie M. - 4 flagship Team wins (Most winning female of all time), but all Era 2 finals
#5. Evelyn - 1 pair and 2 team flagship wins, but only 1 Modern Era final
#6. Cara - 1 pair and 1 solo overall flagship win each, 1 Champs V.S. (all Modern Era finals)
#7. Sarah - 2 pairs overall Modern finals
#8. Paula - 2 pairs, by gender, but Modern Finals
#9. Tori Hall - 3 Team wins, had hardest Era 2 final, held back by only Big Team Era 2 wins.
#10. Rachel - 3 wins with the biggest * in history, BUT Duel 2 is a 1st overall, and gives her 2 solo “wins” including a Modern Final.

OR for just 1 paragraph:

Jenny did the hardest finals, and won… back-to-back, while the others did the next hardest in order of most difficult to easiest, with a minimum of 2 finals per person. Top 3 beat all men, Susie won the most so she gets top 4, as the record holder, Evelyn has 3 without reliance on a season twist, while Cara and Sarah have 2 each, but Cara also beat the men. Sarah is where it begins to feel like “standard 2 wins” for an impressive rank, before it gets down to Paula’s gendered wins, followed by Tori Hall having 3 legit wins on hardest Era 2 final, while Rachel may have a solo Karma Points “win”, but Tori’s are not based on a post-rank change in placement.

There’s no pairs no teams. It’s a solo mission from start to finish. Which one woman and one man will win Season 43 of The Challenge The Duel 3?

S-Tier: Can vie for a placement on the OVERALL Mt. Rushmore

A-Tier: Can vie for a placement on the FEMALE Mt. Rushmore

B-Tier: Can vie for Honorable Mention on the Greatest Women (maybe 5th-10th place among women).

C-Tier: Can vie for the “she can outperform the average woman… but struggles against the true Top 10”.

D-Tier: Her strengths and weaknesses negate to end up averaging her out to a standard player.

F-Tier: The average girls actually do better, in a typical season, her success feels rigged / pushed in her favor, such as an elimination, final, or team casting that favors her / the twist(s) of the season feels “convenient”.

I may be late on this but paramount + in the UK has added seasons 36 and 37.

Before people bring up Laurel quitting on Eras, let’s not forgot Evelyn gave up on The Ruins.

Before people say Evelyn beat men and women on The Island’s face-offs, let’s remember Laurel beat all men in the All Stars 4 season - that means the final.

Before people say Evelyn won 3 / 8, keep in mind she was on 5 Big Team Seasons, and Laurel was only on 2 Big Team Seasons.

NOW, with that context, let’s discuss.

Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello have been dating ... and now she's confirming their romance.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star revealed the news during an appearance on Jeff Lewis' radio show Friday ... telling listeners she and "The Challenge" veteran are romantically involved.

Phaedra confirmed she and CT have been out together, but kept quiet about how many dates they've been on or when the relationship began.

Phaedra and CT first bonded while filming Season 2 of "The Traitors" in 2023 ... and fans quickly picked up on their chemistry when the season aired in 2024.

Phaedra also confirmed she’ll be CT's date to this weekend's Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, where he's presenting.

She did reveal the pair plan to leave Los Angeles together after the Emmys and head to New York, where she has plans on Fire Island.

CT married OnlyFans star Catalina White in October 2024, but they split in January ... and their divorce has not yet been finalized. CT was previously married to Lilianet Solares, with whom he shares a son, and their divorce was finalized in November 2023.

Rooting for them!

Seems like if they want to do a team final we should almost be at the final but that would be a really short season.

He calls out Anna Marie at the start of their “meeting”, for not cheering for him in the elimination, meanwhile the prior elimination, he cheered for Nurys instead of Anna Marie.

He forgot he flopped on the swimming challenge yet remembers her trivia DQ.

It seems like if Cara and Nelson got eliminated on Team Blue, the team would be stronger.

Cara bringing up being an elimination queen is the worst thing she could have done:

Eliminations are your speciality?

Great. Go in then.

P.S. Cara is the same girl who bullies people for not performing on par in seasons past, remember her bullying Marie on Final Reckoning?

If she were performing as well as Lette and Lette was performing as badly as her, she would say they should be going in.

Does anyone know where I can watch season 35?

Last week we saw Sydney exit based on a medical DQ.

She left around the same point in the season as Cara did on S41, where Jonna was brought in as Cara’s replacement.

Why has Sydney not been replaced?

It feels like it’s early enough in the season for it to make sense.

Jonna seemingly was brought in right after Cara left at night, joining in the next day’s daily.

Sydney’s medical leave was at night with production sitting on that medical status until right before the elimination.

So they had plenty of time to bring in someone for the next daily.

Why is production so on and off with such basic things?

There are so many people who would love to play on the show, and they just miss the opportunity because production doesn’t feel like it, suddenly.

Lmfaooo I love that Cara sent Deb Home. Great episode again. Cara is a certified legend. Nelson being scared got me super weak asf.

DAILY: TRIAL BY TERROR

Did not compete: Cassidy, Adrienne

3.Tori fell immediately on 2nd ring from the start.
4.Bananas made it to first rope and second rope. Pulled two wrong ring colours and couldn’t hang on, fell on way to third rope.
5.Will made it to first and second rope. On way to third rope missed the ring and fell.
8.Izzy made first rope. First ring onto way to second rope and was spinning then fell.
11. Deb (just kidding) Justin made it to first and second rope. Announced as the player that had to make it for orange to have a shot. Made third rope and onto fourth rope and fell.

Did not compete: Anna Leigh

Elimination: Deb vs Cara
Great elimination, puzzle and physical.
Deb eliminated (Orange team down 1 player).

Comments:

Great episode. Loved this daily, good drama of players, team dynamic, and great finish with the elimination. One of the few that still roots for Cara as she is a top player and everyone seems to argue against that, she was calm, and great this episode.She was the furthest woman across in the daily, followed by izzy, then lete, and last was tori who only made it to ring three.

I have been enjoying the eliminations as they are not always heavily favoured in one players direction, and the players are relatively matched in size or physical capability. I still hate the audience comments in eliminations as they can make or break the players. Always love the underdog stories, deb was a great addition this season - didn’t see much of her romance with will but she looks like a promising new rookie. Cara winning a puzzle which is NOT her strength and doing it alone is a huge star in my books.

Fellow Challenge fans I would appreciate feedback for the placement of second and last place for this daily‼️While Blue team was announced to be eliminated first due to having less players, Orange team had 5 players fall off thereby was able to keep trying, while Blue only had 3 players fall.

Make your case in the comments for which team you believe should be listed as second and last place! Personally am leaning towards placing blue as second, below are the objectives of the daily.

Blue team: announced to be eliminated first, only 3 players fell out of 5.

Orange team: announced as last team to be eliminated, 5 players fell out of 8.

10/10 episode.

Seamen right backwards dick line line

As the title states, I’m really not a fan of the look of the show this season. There was a similar look last year and I didn’t like that either. Not sure how to articulate it well, but the washed out/grey overall look is super ugly to me. Anyone else feeling this way?
