I'm pretty sure they come back because I swear the trailer shows he ends up cheating on his girlfriend with Cara Maria.

I don't think Natalie even scratched the wood with the hammer. If they didn't let her out she'd still be in there. Amazing how completely worthless she in challenges even going back to her rookie season. Hard not to feel bad for Paulie as he was basically given an impossible to complete (let alone win) challenge twice in 24 hours.

Good 🔥🔥🔥 from Paulie. 😂🤣😂

Loved it. Great stuff. Brad was about to break down.

Yeah, Paulie got fucked in both those challenges.

Kinda of wrong for him to say Brandi was fucking her ex though. I know you want to get into people's heads but he could have just said flirting and gotten the reaction he wanted since Brad and Brandi seem so into each other. Just seemed really harsh. And he didn't say it just once but kept hollering on and on about it.

I understand the mind games but let's not completely fuck someone's relationship up over a blatant lie just to get in someone's head. I have been watching these for years and that seemed to be the worst offense yet.

Johnny written notes in a girl's handwritten or stirring the pot with rumors is one thing. Coming right out in front of the group and just screaming lies seems off the deep end. Just my opinion.

I actually felt really bad for Brad during that segment and I don't really care for the guy.

Hope Brad beats the shit out of Paulie. Paulie with a severe case of little man syndrome.

I'm wondering if there is anything that has happened outside of filming.

I was listening to a podcast today and they said the new Executive Producer of the The Challenge used to work on Bad Girls Club. I think that's probably why there has been a shift to focus on a lot more drama.... I'm kinda getting tired of it already. We have essentially had a beginning purge challenge, the swinging challenge, one elimination, and one redemption challenge. I know they are probably trying to fill more since one team was kicked off for fighting, but not much has happened after four episodes...

Also, I would never want to be partnered with Natalie. She's not good with physical or mental challenges....

Paulie seems like such a tool. So he should be great for the show for years to come.

They are ruining the show. I don't want to watch them talking for 30 minutes before they even begin to think about doing a challenge or elimination.

The veterans should just show Paulie a butterfly and he'll start to cry.

They had a good thing going and seemingly needlessly changed the pacing/focus of the show from competition to drama. Show for many years had the perfect balance of competition/drama/eye candy. If it ain't broke ..

This event in a few weeks just got announced near to where I live:


Come and meet Paulie Calafiore, Cara Maria & Natalie from MTV's The Challenge! The Viewing Party Package comes with an hour Q&A session prior to the show at 8pm, then a viewing of that night's episode with live reactions from the cast, and a post-event meet & greet after the episode!

** Meet & Greet includes a professional photo with the cast members. No autographs.
They are charging $45 + fees for this. :lol: I'd maybe go if they had regular non-M&G ticket for $15-$20.

I would pay $45 it was CT or Jenna, but no way for Paulie, Natalie and Cara....

Go and see Paulie. Do it for the forum. We can vote on what question you go up and ask him!

Eh. Maybe. I agree that group would be 100% more enticing. But $45 is too much for something like this, IMO. I see talks in NYC with Hollywood A-lists for that much. No M&G with that though. But I don’t care about that for these people :lol: I’d pay $20 for a Q&A and viewing. Maybe they’ll add a lower tier and I’d consider it.

Angry CT is the best CT. :lol:

Adam didn't think so.

Adam is a rapist according to multiple girls on the challenge so it is too bad CT didn't get a hold of him that night.

Nice to see a little fire in CT again.

CT is right to be mad. All Veronica wants to do now is to be on tv and get her per episode appearance fees and drink wine.... I'm glad to see that they had a club scene in this week's episode. I was worried they wouldn't be able to go out in South Africa.

One thing that I found funny in this episode was before the challenge when Tori was lamenting how horrible Derrick has been in challenges this year, and I initially accepted that on face value b/c that's all Tori's TV time has been about, but then I thought...wait we've only had two challenges and I don't particularly remember anyone who didn't go home being awful at the grave-digging challenge (that aired I think sometime last year) so that means prior to the last episode Derrick was bad in the swinging challenge.

:lol: Gay man vs black women in a shouting, insult fight. This should be good. Shaun's the worst.

Brad's talk with Britnni was anticlimatic. but I had a feeling it would be.

That was a hard challenge. I'd like to think I can do the first part, but i wouldn't get far on the 2nd half.

I feel like they haven't featured Bananas as much as other seasons.

Six episodes, ONE Armageddon/elimination...and the losing team is still in the redemption house.

ARMAGEDDON!!!

This season has just been a disaster in terms of pacing and eliminations (or lack thereof). A ton of eye candy left at the start and since then precious little has really happened other than trying to milk drama. Bring back the old producer(s)/editor(s) for fuck's sake.

Shane is annoying but I love how he basically has immunity as a gay dude and goes hard at anyone who dares to not play their game for him.

It is really shitty how they edit. The cliff hanger is who they vote in but I saw Angela in the clip for next weeks challenge.
