Same here. It was nice when Devin started calling out Johnny's game in the past couple seasons, but that was ridiculous. Johnny low-blowed him, but Devin was begging for it and then cried when he got it.

Tony takes another step on the path towards becoming an adult and Cory commits his umpteenth act of life stupidity.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

The best part of the entire episode was them showing the footage to Devin. The look on his face was priceless.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Supposedly, Tony has a production controlled limit to how much alcohol he is allowed to consume on these shows now. Cory talked about it, and Tony confirmed it this week.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Nice that he even admitted it wasn't a slip.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Interesting. I thought Tony appeared inebriated when he came out of the van toward Cory. And Cory is a dipshit. Million dollars on the line and he decides to go crazy and almost seriously injure someone over pasta.

I was really glad they kicked D & C out because of it. I was afraid they were going to let it slide since you can never predict how MTV is going to react to these situations. Sometimes they let crazy stuff go and other times they kick people off for the littlest shit.

Fuck Devin. He had it coming, no question. I didn't blame Johnny at all for what he said and Devin deserved the emotional slap in the face.

I was amazed that Johnny didn't just crush Devin's face in after all that. Instead of violence, he was smart and crushed his face in with a hurtful comment. Boohoo, cry me a fucking river. I would have went even farther for the emotional jugular than Johnny did had I been in that situation.

Devin really needs to come off his high horse. He beat Johnny ONCE in a challenge that required zero physicality. Be a man and let it go. I know he think he is in Johnny's head but actually it is Johnny who is in his and he just can't let it go.

Team Young Buck is really Team Young Douchbag. Every one of them is a dipshit who will likely never actually win a challenge until they grow up emotionally.

The nickel in Joss comment was downright hilarious. Just fantastic and well deserved. I kinda liked Joss until he went for Amanda...which immediately showed his character.

Nice to see Tony grow up a bit and nice to see the other teams sweating after being so dang cocky. I am not a huge Johnny Bananas fan but the other are so annoying that they make Johnny downright pleasant to watch. At least Johnny is a dick with a sense of humor. TYD are a bunch of humorless morons.

And Tony was really lucky he wasn't seriously injured with that takedown. I really thought it was going to jack up his neck or back and he was going to be put out of the challenge.

I think the alcohol restriction was really put in place after CT's fights. I know they no longer pay for alcohol when they go out and they only provide wine and beer which is doled out at the house now I think. It used to be open bar for all back in the day.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Cast for Season 33 has leaked:

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I'm not sure that's the full list.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I'd guess that there will either be twists and/or people kicked off and replacements brought in. I don't think the list accounts for that.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I'm with the majority here on the Johnny/Devin situation but I had a laugh at Cory when he refused to shake Johnny's hand because of what he said to Devin. Odd time for Cory to take the high road after body slamming someone over pasta the night before. :lol:

The Young Bucks are all a bunch of idiots and it's always hilarious to see them talk a big game and lose.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

The worst is really Nelson. He is just some ultimate Challenge fan boy that has done nothing on the show.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

That's kind of sad in a way, but does explain a lot of the transformation. Some people are just too dumb to go anywhere near alcohol. Maybe the guy can be smart enough to carry that into life off the TV set.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I thought that he still seemed pretty loaded when Cory slammed him.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

It's hard to believe that Sylvia is 5-1 in eliminations. Her worst enemy is her weak constitution. I'm surprised that she didn't get sick this season. I feel like Tony and Bananas will just win and walk right back into the house. I really liked the design of the elimination challenge. I'm surprised that Survivor hasn't tried to do something like that.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

And he proved my point last night. Pathetic.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I don't want Brad to be my math teacher. That was a terrible strategy. He should have done the counting and had Kyle climb... They lost to Natalie and Paulie and Kam and Kaylee this year. They might want to go ahead and retire...

It's nice to see Shane and Nelson finally eliminated. They are both useless on the show unless Shane's competing in a swimming challenge. Sylvia and Joss might just win this thing. They were impressive in the endurance challenge and Sylvia's good at puzzles. They might do well in Final.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

And again.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I added three more people to your list. The new additions are in bold.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Kam's incredible luck in her opponent's failures in challenges aside, I have to hand it to her that it was smart to do the math up front. Not that it should be difficult to do it on the fly, but it avoids the simple mistakes that tend to come as the competition wears on and the pressure mounts.

Yeah Shane is a perpetually bitter and nasty person. Nelson takes the place of a more deserving competitor - meaning anyone else. The guy has no personality or competition ability. How is it he became a regular participant in the Challenge shows? He is a total waste of space. Good riddance to both of them.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Totally agree with all of the above.

And am I wrong that listening to Sylvia talk is like listening to nails on a chalkboard? I fast forward any time she talks more than two seconds. She is so annoying.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

I don't mind Sylvia, but then again she was completely a below-average competitor for her entire Challenge career until this whole Lavender Ladies thing.

TYB doesn't have much upstairs. Hunter is the least annoying them all to me.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Great job by the marketing showing a promo with Cara and Paulie in bed. It hadn’t happened in the episode before the elimination took place so it was obvious who was getting eliminated.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

What happened to the elimination challenge after the boulder challenge? Sure Kam and Kaylie went home automatically, but there should have still been an elimination challenge otherwise there is no benefit to Joss and Sylvia winning the boulder challenge.

No interest in watching the rest of the season so I went ahead and looked at the spoilers.

Re: The Challenge: Final Reckoning (MTV) -- premieres 7/10/18
 

Yeah that was strange. I could have sworn TJ said something about the winners receiving a significant advantage at the next challenge. Guess not, unless it was edited out. You could always catch one of the reruns to -- oh that's right, they only show each episode exactly ONE time. Gotta make sure reruns of Ridiculousness don't fall below 50% of total MTV airtime.

What is there, like one episode left? You can do it! :lol:
