Yes he was. He has really bad luck. Michael quit on him in his first ever final and the best he's ever finished was 2nd place. I think he's only won about $36,500 in 7 seasons. That's not very good for as good of a competitor that he's been.

Bummed about Leroy, I always like watching that guy on these shows since he's so funny and honest. Really like Averey too.

Can't say I care much about the Are You The One folks going home. Was rooting for Jessica, I think she's my new crush on these shows

Averey has to be one of the ones coming back next week. They probably got her a replacement for Leroy though I have no idea who would be her guy rival unless it was Jordan. He would be a good competitor and I seem to remember him getting into a couple of arguments with her on The Real World. And it wasn't like Leroy was a true rival for her anyway so most any guy would work they way MTV considers people "rivals."

No big deal on Devin going home. He comes across as a pretentious, self-loving prick on his season of AYTO, so no loss there. The other chick is cute but her personality gets overshadowed by all the other bigger personalities in the house.

Averey is gone for good, unfortunately.

It seemed like Cory was getting a little excited smashing up against Ashley. You would think that the rookies would try to fly under the radar and seem weak so someone will carry them to the finals, but it seems like Amanda and Ashley aka "Smashley" are trying to get themselves voted off.

The preview for next week makes it seem like:

A bunch of teams are leaving....

Hate these episodes now where they don't do a challenge + elimination in one episode. Now it's cut all stupid!

Women.

Yeah. Last night's episode was a waste of time. I watch for the challenge, the elimination, and the challenge/elimination related drama when applicable. Having an entire episode without either a challenge or an elimination without some sort of corresponding major thing happening (like a major injury or catastrophe) is just not worth watching.

Camilla and Nany yelling at each other for the umpteenth time is not major and neither is anything that happened with the new knucklehead drama queen.

Give me a challenge in my challenge show.

And then they do an boring after show on the same boring shit in the show. Both fights were dull and not worth having in that episode. Same old shit. Though the guys just having fun and peeping around corners to listen always cracks me up.

Any guesses on who the new folks are that are coming in? I really hope it is not another couple from AYTO.

And Brandon is a douche. Just as douchy as he was on his season of AYTO. Hope they never ask him back.

Wait, so they brought back a team that was already eliminated? That's pretty shitty.

Yeah that was shitty. They should have at least mixed it up and brought Briana with Devin or Averey with Devin or a team of whole new players....

Amanda and Nelson killed that elimination challenge. They might make it far, but I believe they will be sent in to every elimination because of Amanda's mouth.

Or just not have an elimination that day. It would be one thing if it was part of the game like the year they had a loser's island or whatever the hell it was, but bringing back a team that was legitimately beat sucks.

Just an FYI -- the winners are out there if you search the web.

I will not be searching the web then. That really ruins MTV's fantasy game. I bet a lot of people will be cheating.

Absolutely. And I'd forgive it if were an entertaining team at least but it's just another AYTO bullshit team. They'll get thrown in and worked over in the elimination again.

What doubly sucks is that Leroy, Averey and Bri actually deserve another chance but won't get it.

I thought this recent episode was good but this drama pales in comparison to what we used to see on this show. Simone is so terrible that I 100% took Ashley's side in that argument.

I think there's some talent in the next generation of the Challenge but MTV needs to cool it with these AYTO dopes.

They actually had a pretty good challenge this week. That was almost like a section of a final. It seems like people are dropping out like flies this season. Three teams have left and they weren't eliminated. Is that the most ever in a season?

I really enjoyed the challenge this week too. If only there was an uncensored version out there.

I couldn't believe that all the teams just stripped off and started running. I thought one or two teams might eat the cake.

Yeah, I really liked the challenge as well. The teams having a choice on what to do was great and made a big difference. The Camilla freakout was nice since it wasn't her usual drunken ones

Not really a fan of how they handled the option of there being an elimination or not... the way they've brought back old teams when other teams have dropped out (versus not doing it this week) has been weird.

Some of these guys really want to get camera time just because they're on their very first show. Kind of a boring episode.

Tony is such a obnoxious douchebag. How that tool doesn't get his ass kicked on a routine basis baffles me.
