I'm mostly impressed with these Challengers so far. They are definitely there to compete, which is different from some of the people they've been getting on the main show, who just are there for a vacation.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I like this cast so far. A couple of the Love Island people are a little annoying, but you have annoying people on every show. I'm really impressed that Shan was able to jump on the spinning buoys. She has MS.

Cayla, James, Tyson, and Angela are my favorites so far. Justine impressed me with her cross word skills.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I'm surprised Domenick didn't get eliminated. He was getting the loser's edit, but he got lucky that Cashay finished in time. Tyson, Angela, Kyland, and Justine are the only four that have qualified for a final so far.

If anyone follows Mark Long on Twitter, unfollow him. He's spoiling The MTV Challenge Season 38. I'm having to unfollow everyone Challenge related on Twitter. They're all dropping too many spoilers. I only want to know the cast for seasons in production. I don't want to know elimination spoilers or who's running in the Final.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

The trivia challenge uncensored on Paramount Plus was great.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

During last week's episode, Tyson had one of the greatest performances during a daily challenge in Challenge history. He pulled his partner who couldn't swim the whole way, they had to redo a section of the swim, and they still won. I think he could do a lot of damage on the flagship show.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Yeah, Tyson's really impressive, and he's always been "good TV". I would feel bad for Sarah and Ben over Tyson's "betrayal" if they were remotely likeable...but they aren't.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

They have bad blood anyway due to Survivor Winners at War. Sarah and Ben were so confident that they were going to win this week's daily challenge until they didn't.

Derrick K from the MTV Challenge met up with Tyson and they talked about how Survivor is different from The Challenge. If you blindside someone on Survivor, you might never see them again, except at the reunion. If you blindside someone on The Challenge, you might be looking them in the eye and playing against them again in six months. You can't go scorched-earth on The Challenge unless you're retiring after your current season.

Excellent elimination challenge this week. I'm shocked that Leo is an elimination savant.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Yea, for something that looked simple at face value, it was super strenuous.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

TJ probably would have had some choice words about Leo for not coming out after he lost if this was the MTV version. Well, at least the old TJ.

It's too bad that this Hall Brawl wasn't at least somewhat evenly matched.

Would they really had allowed Sarah to go into a man's elimination?

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Sarah Greyson went into elimination against men twice on The Gauntlet and beat them.

Sarah from Survivor talks a big game, but she hasn't won a daily challenge. Angela has been much more impressive.

It's sad that the one hall brawl this season was wasted on Enzo and Leo. Danny is a former NFL linebacker and I would love to see him in a hall brawl.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I'm not sure where Sarah's huge ego comes from. She won 2 individual immunity comps on Survivor...over 3 seasons. I don't even know why they entertained her going into the elimination this week, since that would have just screwed up the numbers with it being a female elimination next week. It was never going to happen.

I wonder why the hall was so much shorter this time. Too many past injuries?

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I was wondering that too. I thought it looked tiny compared to the halls on the MTV Challenge.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I watched Leo's interview with Rob C. He said that the paramedics told him he couldn't go out because he had a concussion (or maybe they thought he might?). He said the footage of him refusing to go out was from something else.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

They were like ten feet away from each other lmao. Totally ruined it.

And, yeah, Sarah's arrogance is unfounded. Enzo would've flattened her. She's always gotten on my nerves.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Man... Sarah is so annoying.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

She's the worst. She's not even that good. She beat the worst female competitor left in the house and she thinks the whole house should be afraid of her after that... I would have liked to see her and Angela in that elimination. Angela might have sent her home.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

I was thinking production was just goading her into saying these delusional things in her confessionals, but then her nutty ramblings during the “live” competition convinced me otherwise.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Due to the rules I believe if Desi didn't agree with him she risked going in,so essentially the male winner has a veto pen on the female eliminations and vice versa. I doubt even if Angela requested to go in Danny would have risked that because he ain't gonna wanna get stuck with Cash in the finals. Cash is a nice person,but her swimming and endurance would make her a liability for any guy if they teamed with her in the finale.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Sarah gloating after beating someone so scrawny she couldn't get the wheel going was .. pathetic. Cash was very very lucky to make it this far; total layup for Sarah. Really looking forward to watching Sarah lose at the end.

Is it me or is Desi smoking when she's fixed up? Hope we see her and Angela - also smokin' - on a bunch more of these.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Enzo is an elimination savant. Three elimination wins, No daily challenge wins....

Angela is a beast and she needs to be on the MTV Challenge. She was the only one to complete the daily challenge and she beat every male competitor too.

Two hour season finale next week. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

So if you didn't know Sudoku, your game was just over. Also eliminating Angela because she didn't break her back and get no sleep just to still finish last on that leg .. was complete bullshit. Same with eliminating Desi because she was partnered with bitch ass Enzo who can't swim.

Solid season straight up ruined. Can't believe how badly they botched that.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Sudoku isn’t that hard. You just can’t have the same number in any column, row, or group. I feel like most people could figure it out eventually. That was one of the worst finals ever. Everyone quit except for two people. Angela might have won if she did the wheelbarrow checkpoint.

I hate that Sarah won. She’s awful.

Re: The Challenge: USA (CBS) - premieres 7/6/22
 

Happy for Danny..........but WTF this was like the Dexter/Game Of Thrones Finales of competition shows

So much poorly planned Production stuff and so much shennanigans as well. I can see why 80% of the cast is going off about this season on social media
