I cried. Proud of her. I knew as soon as she got into that water that she wasn’t making the final. But to see her hang on that long make me admire her even more
Even with Cara Maria's underperformance this entire season I am impressed with how hard she fought in this elimination. She's still in my top 3 female competitors
Honestly would’ve preferred Derek and Cory but not Jordan. Dude skated and was wallpaper this whole season and we all know he makes it to the final, nobody beating him. Boring and unsatisfying no guy on this show ever poses a threat to him which pisses me off
@@Rico401Prov How exactly did Jordan skate to the final when he won 4 out of the 9 individual daily's? Sounds like you're just bitter that Jordan avoided elimination because he actually performed well when it mattered.

This has to be the most deserving players in the Finals ever. Usually there are people who definitely don't belong in it and are only there because of their friends
I mean, I can’t agree with Kyland earning his way into this final. He more than did last season, but he coasted to the final because Tori and Michelle kept putting Johnny in.
the only people that genuinely hate bananas are the people that overconsume this show and reality tv in general. the other castmates dont even hate him like you do. It's truly bizzare.
@@breonna7189 I think it's funny everyone hates Bananas because he took the money from Sarah but never says a word about Ashley taking the money from Hunter.
my question is how is it last challenge Bananas has a 30 second penalty but Cara gets 3 minutes? these penalties need to be consistent cuz it felt like she was set up to lose the episode down to the elimination
The last thing that elimination between Cara Maria vs Tori was the final chapter of there bitterness and hatred between each other is incredible. I know Tori ended up winning that elimination but shouout to Cara Maria she had an amazing made some friends along the way and also conquered a lot of hurdles this season along the way is just incredible to interesting to see how Tori can build of this elimination into the final only time will tell.
i think that was the point; Cara was not supposed to win this season and lets face it- she was not a headliner this go around; Rachel, Tori and Jenny all dominated the dailies, and Michelle kinda took over [by default] in the eliminations. However, we got to see her shine and blossom and grow not as a challenger, but as a person. And that's been a long time coming for someone who has such a extensive challenge career. Losing to Tori is not a personal hit to Cara's overall Challenge status and her leaving this season with a few friends in her pocket is more than Cara has ever had.
I was sad to see Cara lose, that elimination was BRUTAL. I loved how much of a growing season it was for Cara and new bonds with her past "rivals." The fact that Jenny won was bullshit and they gave it to her bc of all the Bananas bullshit he has through the season and the whole "Bananas Angels"
I saw on social media + Jordan posted that Jenny’s top green and bottom green did not align in the puzzle ? And that production missed that ? Jenny should not have been in 1st place ?
Cara and Tori are my 2 top fave girls on the show. It was sad that they became friends then had to go against each other. I would have much rather seen them in a head banger instead of just floating in water smh
They were both in dirty30 where cara have tori 0 props because she was getting with Jordan and since then became bitter towards tori now she’s up her ass
People saying Jenny’s puzzle was wrong and Cara should have won, I can see where her puzzle was wrong with bottom and top piece but that’s not on her that’s on whoever checks the puzzles, also we don’t know how long after did Cara finish the puzzle especially with the time penalty after Jenny finished her puzzle and not like she had to take the whole thing apart she could just have took the top one then sled it in the bottoms place and put the bottom one at the top but I think what happened is the way she aligned the pieces to where it connects for half of it that it looks done on first glance especially with them probably mostly looking for that diamond shape
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I am stoked that Michele gets her first final, on what I consider one of her best seasons, with beast competition at that! Not particularily a Jenny fan, but gotta give hers props this episode, plus she made me LOL with "angels shower together.. huh what?" 🤣🤣🤣👌
Michelle's reaction to making the final was awesome. Her and Kyland really wanted to make a final and it showed with their celebration. Good on Kyland to be able to put last season in the past.
@tylerstwertnik6693 her puzzle was wrong, but I think 1 of 2 things happened. Since her post weren't squared up and none of the lines matched up, the producers didn't catch it, or they used a color chart to check because Jenny's bottom and top beam were both green.
I’m just glad we had the old Cara back and not Cara from the last normal seasons she did do. I’m also happy to see her and Tori realize the show was trying to make them fight for no reason.
That final elimination had a chance to be a great one. To not give Cara vs Tori a physical final elimination and make them just tread water was a huge disappointment.
Cara had the penalty so Rachel most likely would have won instead. That being said, if that happened Jordan 100% throws in Jenny over Cara, with Cara Tori Rachel Michele going to the final.
We actually don't know what the times were. If production made Jenny correct her boards she possibly could've still finished first. Based on the editing it seemed like Jenny smoked the other females.
Can we all just state the obvious? This new editing team needs to get fired because they keep editing these episodes in such weird way. And this isn’t the only season they’ve botched like that.
I see what did you think about the elimination between Cara Maria vs Tori and I thought they did an amazing job in that elimination what was your opinion on that final elimination of the season Sarah?🤔
I hate to say it but as much as Michelle has suprised me this season, i think she may be way in over her head in this final compared to the other girls
They had Cara and Tori and they gave them a float elimination 😮 And let's not forget Cara just said in the previous episode she isn't that good in water and in the elimination she gets exactly an elimination that she will unlikely win .. they could've given them a physical elimination and have an epic fight but nooo they made them float 😂😂
It’s Cara’s fault for not practicing her swimming. That challenge for 2+ hours staying above water and snakes and fishes around you was easy for no one. @lastdayonearthmysteryman4849
Favoritism at its finest. They set Cara up to fail for Tori to win. Nothing against Tori or anything. This is the last straw for me. First, Horacio, then Emily, then Theo, and Cara. Production sucks.
I hate to admit it but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that production does to manipulate the outcomes. Jenny had the wrong puzzle piece, so technically Cara should’ve won. Then she loses and gets a swim elimination right after a swimming challenge the episode previous.
@devontamosley4487 This isn't new. Jenna used to get a lot of favorable calls, and I still feel that Nelly T beat CT in the final of Invasion. Production has their favorites or feel like some people make better TV than others.
Honestly this season started so good, but they need to bring back to drama and social aspects. I watch reality tv for the drama and social aspects even though the challenges and eliminations are of course good parts, but I feel like the show is losing a lot of its roots removing those aspects or just showing short clips with no context
Absolutely grueling elimination. To see two people who’ll also give it there all made it that much better to watch. Heartbreaking for a water comp to take Cara out but she put up one hell of fight. Since this is before the final I fear Tori won’t be at 100% due to the toll of have to keep yourself afloat for a few hours which sucks.
From that screen shot of Jenny's puzzle at 5:40 it looks as if the top bar and bottom bar are in the wrong place and need to be switched. Technically Cara Maria won. It should have been Jenny vs Tory in the last elimination. Does production not pay any attention?
It’s probably not pushed in exactly so who knows. Also if it’s true it wouldn’t matter she was way a head in front of Tori and Michele it wouldn’t hav mattered.
@@BlahBlah933-v8y You can see and figure it out. It is obvious. It matters because it means she did not do the puzzle correctly and should not have been called the winner. Production needs to do better.
I just realized that both the bottom and top pieces were swapped... I enjoy jenny but have loved Cara since I've started watching a few years ago so to now just seeing this, it sucks knowing that Cara should still be in the game
@@joshuaakin4760 Jenny for sure would’ve went to elimination. If Cara had won, it would’ve only been Jenny and Rachel up for nomination, and Jordan already had a deal with Rachel
I wonder if they didn't notice at first but then figured she was so far ahead that she would've gotten first anyways? Or realized it way too late and couldn't make it fair? They can't really stop it at that point and have everyone redo the challenge. Reminds me of when Devin's puzzle was wrong on the season he won right before the Finals
Stoked to see the location change is no place less than my motherland 🇵🇭❤ agree it's nice to see all eras represented in the finals. Curious to see how the karma points play out 👀
look i really like cara but just bc cara said she doesn’t like water doesn’t mean she is exempt from water challenges like idk why ppl keep pushing this narrative that it was rigged?
It was messed up on the production side, and I do agree that the elimination was lack luster, but I agree with you. She needs to improve her swimming. A lot of people aren't good at puzzles but they can't just avoid them.
Why wasn't it a physical poll wrestle or hall brawl or balls in between Cara and Tori???? Why do they constantly drop the ball??? They gave us a hall brawl between Theo and Paulie which is such an uneven match up. They did give us a balls in between Tony and Leroy which sounds good on paper but Leroy didn't perform how we thought he was going to perform so that was a dud too. But Cara vs Tori should have been one of those 3 eliminations
@PhillopCracken I think every elimination should have been one of the four from the beginning. Most of the eliminations were sub-par if not just all out dumb and boring to watch. Untangle some cords, wait for a ball to roll down a slide, race lawnmowers, lay out colored paving stones, and remove nails from a board. Someone needs to be fired for this steamy pile of dung, but in 2024, they will get a promotion instead.
I think the challenge is trying to find the next fan favorite kind of elimination and they are just trying to find something that sticks. They have already done a couple seasons of repeat eliminations so I'm sure they wanted to do something different
@canaomalstend3014 And I would understand that if they did it with the less exciting eliminations but they decided to do it with the most exciting eliminations. For example Olivia and Nurys hall brawl..... are you kidding me??? Little Nurys vs big Olivia and then turn around and give us Rachel vs Cara knife throwing.....???? Really???. I say use those experimental eliminations on match ups that aren't exciting such ad an Olivia vs Nurys. But for the exciting matches give us something you know will be exciting
Really wish they would’ve done a pole wrestle, that would’ve been so exciting to watch. This elimination might’ve been super hard but very boring for tv 🤷🏾♀️
This was a great episode. Tori losing was great, then the elimination wasnt fast paced or action packed, however it had plenty of tension and wow this is crazy moments. Jordan and Tori are winning the final in my opinion.
The challenge God's couldn't have gotten a More excellent outcome of Tori coming last in the daily and also automatically going into the elimination and Jenny and Jordan ended up winning and also getting the last control of power in the game there.
Jenny’s puzzle was wrong, they had to make the penalty 6 times longer than any other penalty, of course they had to give them a water elimination, Tori was evidently underwater, Cara Maria was so set up this elimination.
Im glad Cara is gone lol. Out of all the girls she deserved it the least based on this season imo. Still had a good showing. 😃 The karma points thing is still silly to me because it comes down to alliance. The people in or closely tied to the vacation alliance will probably have more points.
9:16 I think the problem is this any progress was off air. There is no way with all these 90 minute filler episodes we couldn't have seen a conversation with them.
This elimination was actually crazy .. takes a lot of endurance. This final is gonna be so unpredictable the line up is insane. But it’s still Team Jordan ❤ still rooting for Kyland and Rachel . Rachel held it down for era 1.
It looks like maybe the bottom and top green planks are a little misaligned, so they may be mixed up. But I think the judges may not have noticed that small error in the heat of the moment.
Tori's overconfidence nearly cost her the final, I hope she will lock it down for the final. It did cost her Cara Maria making it to the final. Michelle is definitely the weakest womens player left but credit to her she put in a great effort and earned her automatic spot to the final. It is sad seeing Cara not make it before the final. Predictable that Jordan would pick her to go into the elimination but there was no malice there, just had worked with Rachel from the get go. It was nice watching Cara really grow from feeling like she was on her own when Paulie went home, to having to deal with Laurel, to befriending a lot of the people in the house and realizing she is truly a Challenge great. Definitely wanna see her back next season or in future seasons. Derek is the weakest mens player left so the last place finish in that challenge wasn't surprising. That puzzle definitely stumped Kyland but good for him to make sure he finished 3rd. I love all the karma coming Johnny's way, he's terrible. Now also seeing he went to Mara Lago recently I am extra motivated to want to see him lose this final. As long as he doesn't win I'm happy. His blasphemy at the dinner table about how he was treated was laughable considering his history. Let a narcissist ramble I say.. Rooting for Kyland, love how he has made it to the final after losing right before the final last season. Didn't agree on every move he made this season but I understand why he made them and he is a down to earth true blue dude. Jordan has played one of the best social games ever on the Challenge, didn't even see an elimination. While credit for that, I feel everyone should earn their place, so for that reason I'm not rooting for him. Tori I'm rooting for but she needs to harness that overconfidence. Rachel is a beast, all-around capable at winning for sure. Jenny is great but will her endurance problems cost her. Michelle has impressed me this season but I can't get over how she acted last season and in past seasons. I will not be rooting for her. And Derek is a decent guy no reason I'd be unhappy if he wins I just don't see that happening. I think it's between Kyland, Bananas, Jordan and Rachel, and really will come down to Kyland or Jordan. I hope Kyland pulls this out, looks like it will be a grueling Final. And lastly I really thought this was a lame final elimination, a hall brawl or something fast would have been better. I'm not sure how Tori will have much energy left for the final. That's kind of her fault, her overconfidence put her in this position, but that elimination was pretty whack to me right before the final.
Rooting for Tori! If I have to pick a guy to win, I’ll go for Kyland! Luckily every finalist is deserving of the win so will be happy with whoever wins!
Jenny and jordan are winning this..said it from the moment this season and competitor s were announced jordan is just too good and jenny has the will power and strength
I like Cara but you don’t think she needs to work on her swimming.? She can’t blame anyone but herself. I’m glad Tori admitted she made a bad call too with her strategy
For this season I think was the biggest let down. The format of 4 teams then being an individual later one was not it. It should’ve been like “free agents”
@@atmrecords2453 True but also Johnny winning so much did make it so Rachel & Jenny were safe from being targets for a decent portion of the individual game. So Johnny being outnumbered actually kind of worked out for the girls since he was a target so much and was able to save them (the same way being aligned w/ Michele helped Kyland since she was consistently a target and would save him after coming back).
@@alphabetsoup22again bananas was only sent in by Tori as far as I can remember so really it’s down to tori that he was able to save rachell&jenny so much and either way they are top3 females on the season even if they went in against anyone outside the angles they’d of most likely won Tori’s no1 guy was also looking out for rachell Jenny had to fight the most for females rachell was liked by everyone even while working with a villain
@@LeytonWalker-c5u Yeah it was with Michele going in so many times she always made him a target, and Tori threw him in. So that was a few weeks straight that the Angels were all safe. Glad to see Rachel in the final for sure, she had a great political game AND a great season competitively. Jenny has kind of annoyed me this season but she's strong so good for her. In terms of eliminations though, Michele went in more times than Jenny or Rachel so actually neither of them did the majority of eliminations this season for the women (Jenny 2, Rachel 2, Tori 2, Michele 3). Tori killed this season tbh so I kind of feel like she deserves the win, even though I have mixed feelings on her in general. I'd honestly be happy if anyone wins except Jenny because I also like both Rachel and Michele. But Jenny is a good competitor so I know I have a high chance of being disappointed lol.
Jenny didn’t do the puzzle correctly. Either terribly egregious errors are being made by production or they are picking preferred winners. Either way, not cool. And it makes this show less interesting.
I'm upset that Tori took her time in this Last Challenge. Michelle should've gone home. Michelle has the nerve to be celebrating with Kyland since she treated Kyland like dirt on their last season together. Also Cara seemed so much happier once "quitter" Laurel left. Laurel should have her " champs" title taken away for quitting because she was hot. Tori has been awesome this whole time and she is not caulky. Jordan is great but SO SO caulky, it's a turn off
I mean Tori basically has a huge disadvantage. She spent hours before the final doing an exhausting water elimination, she is probably extremely fatigued.
Has anybody noticed how Rachel brags about "women empowerment" yet TWICE she has made snarky comments about Cara Maria? First one was on the car cliff challenge, she had made a comment on her swimming, that her efforts are disappointing. Then in this water treading elimination she said something along the lines of Cara losing this elimination because she's using too much energy movement? Just negative comments while Cara gave her 5 points, smh. Like that isnt supporting a, "so called friend" Rachel. I now understand why Johnny called her two faced on Battle of the Exes when Rachel tried throwing Mark under the bus so she wouldnt go into elimination. Snakes eventually come out of the grass 🤷♀️
I don’t like Rachel but you’re clutching at straws with the using more energy comment it was just a factual observation. I do agree with the swimming challenge she really didn’t need to try bring her down
I’m curious, have you had contestants tell you they won’t play if they have the red skull twist? That was their best twist ever and there’s NO need to have this skating by bullshit. At the very least they should give red skulls out to those who win daily’s
I just don’t want tori or Johnny to win lol Jordan for the men and honestly I want Michelle to win for the women lol just to piss and prove that even the under dog and basically the newbie to win over all. Kyland I want him to be in 2nd. Basically to be so close to Jordon And that’s it. Don’t care for anyone else.
I haven’t actually watched these episodes, only these recaps. It’s awesome seeing Cara Maria smiling more & more. I really didn’t like the seasons where she had the bitchy resting face. She seemed unlikable when it was her & Paulie in control. It’s wonderful seeing the old Cara. Too bad she couldn’t get to the finals….
Idc what anyone says this was one of the worse most boring eliminations of the season. This is not how you want to head into the finals. It would have been a momentum killer if the show wasn’t already losing steam
‘Idc what anyone says’ur in a comment section buddy your name says it all they can’t keep rinsing the same eliminations the game keeps changing I do agree we needed more pshycial eliminations when we got tori against kaycee and cara
No the problem is you made an assumption about what my opinion was based on my name. I never said anything about a physical elimination I said this was boring and one of the worst which I stand by. They were treading water who the hell wants to watch that. They clearly were just making due with the location change done but they could of come up with something better this was lazy especially for the last elimination
Since Cara is gone, I definitely want Jenny to win it. I wouldn't even be mad if Rachel had won, but someone already spoiled the winners in the comment section.
@@deshawnthomas9023it got spoiled since cast was released mate and it’s a good outcome for women looking at the numbers in game would of been better if bananas won since Jordan had to do 0 fighting to get there but can’t complain
Jenny's puzzle definitely looked off to me. The top and bottom green pieces don't seem like they are in the correct spots, they don't line up how everyone else's did. The shield part at least just looks like its the way she pushed in the planks but they're still in the right spots-- the top and bottom pieces don't look like they would line up even if you shifted them. It looks to me like they should have been flipped. Maybe she still would've won but I hate when this kind of thing happens.
I cried. Proud of her. I knew as soon as she got into that water that she wasn’t making the final. But to see her hang on that long make me admire her even more
Even with Cara Maria's underperformance this entire season I am impressed with how hard she fought in this elimination. She's still in my top 3 female competitors
My favorite moment was seeing how touched TJ's expression was when Cara said "TJ hates quitters." So great.
Earliest exit for Cara since Invasion of the Champs. That's damn impressive.
That's our GOAT!
Sad to see Cara gone. My ideal finalists would include Cara and Cory instead of Derek and Michele. Oh well, can’t wait to see who wins!

@@bigstreezy but they did have a whole fortress for the daily challenge sooo...
It’s Cara’s fault for not practicing her swimming. That challenge for 2+ hours staying above water and snakes and fishes around you was easy for no one. @lastdayonearthmysteryman4849
Favoritism at its finest. They set Cara up to fail for Tori to win. Nothing against Tori or anything. This is the last straw for me. First, Horacio, then Emily, then Theo, and Cara. Production sucks.
I hate to admit it but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that production does to manipulate the outcomes. Jenny had the wrong puzzle piece, so technically Cara should’ve won. Then she loses and gets a swim elimination right after a swimming challenge the episode previous.
TJ loves Tori too. He's always cheering her on really hard
@devontamosley4487 This isn't new. Jenna used to get a lot of favorable calls, and I still feel that Nelly T beat CT in the final of Invasion. Production has their favorites or feel like some people make better TV than others.
wish I could say it was the first time this type of shaddiness has happened, but yeah... not really
It's not favoritism, its production carelessness. Cara is the face of the franchise lmao they want to see her in a final.
I love Tori but her strategy to take her time or not end up last was Horrific 😮 like what the heck were you thinking smh 🤦🏻♀️
Almost feels like she did it purposely so Michelle wouldn’t get last, because Michelle would’ve likely loss against whoever Jordan chose
Same. I was like I can’t take up for her on this. 😂😂
@@21tyson55 yeah there were a few times that I thought it looked Tori wasn't trying very hard.
I’m so happy for Michelle
Honestly this season started so good, but they need to bring back to drama and social aspects. I watch reality tv for the drama and social aspects even though the challenges and eliminations are of course good parts, but I feel like the show is losing a lot of its roots removing those aspects or just showing short clips with no context
Absolutely grueling elimination. To see two people who’ll also give it there all made it that much better to watch. Heartbreaking for a water comp to take Cara out but she put up one hell of fight. Since this is before the final I fear Tori won’t be at 100% due to the toll of have to keep yourself afloat for a few hours which sucks.
Lets go Kyland 🔥
From that screen shot of Jenny's puzzle at 5:40 it looks as if the top bar and bottom bar are in the wrong place and need to be switched. Technically Cara Maria won. It should have been Jenny vs Tory in the last elimination. Does production not pay any attention?
It’s probably not pushed in exactly so who knows. Also if it’s true it wouldn’t matter she was way a head in front of Tori and Michele it wouldn’t hav mattered.
@@BlahBlah933-v8y You can see and figure it out. It is obvious. It matters because it means she did not do the puzzle correctly and should not have been called the winner. Production needs to do better.
I feel that Cara Maria should've won the daily and because Jenny puzzle was wrong
I just realized that both the bottom and top pieces were swapped... I enjoy jenny but have loved Cara since I've started watching a few years ago so to now just seeing this, it sucks knowing that Cara should still be in the game
And jenny might have ended up in elimination
@@joshuaakin4760 Jenny for sure would’ve went to elimination. If Cara had won, it would’ve only been Jenny and Rachel up for nomination, and Jordan already had a deal with Rachel
I wonder if they didn't notice at first but then figured she was so far ahead that she would've gotten first anyways? Or realized it way too late and couldn't make it fair? They can't really stop it at that point and have everyone redo the challenge. Reminds me of when Devin's puzzle was wrong on the season he won right before the Finals
@@adriankalitka3762 the team challenge
Talk about keeping your head above the water
Stoked to see the location change is no place less than my motherland 🇵🇭❤ agree it's nice to see all eras represented in the finals. Curious to see how the karma points play out 👀
look i really like cara but just bc cara said she doesn’t like water doesn’t mean she is exempt from water challenges like idk why ppl keep pushing this narrative that it was rigged?
It was messed up on the production side, and I do agree that the elimination was lack luster, but I agree with you. She needs to improve her swimming. A lot of people aren't good at puzzles but they can't just avoid them.
I agree 💯 Darrell has anxiety with challenges when it comes to heights but last time he still jumped off a building
@@GML560 right, nelson doesn’t like puzzles but he still has to do them when on the show lol
Tori fully deserved to be in the elimination, but the production team obviously did everything to make her win
Cara had a great season, compared to umm, some. I’m glad she went out like the champion she is.
MY DVR didnt record it for some reason and its not on paramount plus what the heck. looking forward to this recap
Why wasn't it a physical poll wrestle or hall brawl or balls in between Cara and Tori???? Why do they constantly drop the ball??? They gave us a hall brawl between Theo and Paulie which is such an uneven match up. They did give us a balls in between Tony and Leroy which sounds good on paper but Leroy didn't perform how we thought he was going to perform so that was a dud too. But Cara vs Tori should have been one of those 3 eliminations
@PhillopCracken I think every elimination should have been one of the four from the beginning. Most of the eliminations were sub-par if not just all out dumb and boring to watch. Untangle some cords, wait for a ball to roll down a slide, race lawnmowers, lay out colored paving stones, and remove nails from a board. Someone needs to be fired for this steamy pile of dung, but in 2024, they will get a promotion instead.
I think the challenge is trying to find the next fan favorite kind of elimination and they are just trying to find something that sticks. They have already done a couple seasons of repeat eliminations so I'm sure they wanted to do something different
@canaomalstend3014 And I would understand that if they did it with the less exciting eliminations but they decided to do it with the most exciting eliminations. For example Olivia and Nurys hall brawl..... are you kidding me??? Little Nurys vs big Olivia and then turn around and give us Rachel vs Cara knife throwing.....???? Really???. I say use those experimental eliminations on match ups that aren't exciting such ad an Olivia vs Nurys. But for the exciting matches give us something you know will be exciting
Been rooting for Jenny since the cast was announced! She got this 💪
Jenny is a mf problem!!
Devastated that cara maria is gone....set up for Rachel to win
They tried to kill her ass.
I agree this whole season production is rooting for Rachel
Really wish they would’ve done a pole wrestle, that would’ve been so exciting to watch. This elimination might’ve been super hard but very boring for tv 🤷🏾♀️
Agreed. What a missed opportunity to make them go against each other in a physical match up. Like balls in or pole wrestling.
This was a great episode. Tori losing was great, then the elimination wasnt fast paced or action packed, however it had plenty of tension and wow this is crazy moments. Jordan and Tori are winning the final in my opinion.
If Tori didn’t get last then I think it would’ve been Cara vs Michelle and Cara would’ve beat Michelle in that elimination
felt like Tori threw the challenge once she saw Jordan won to give Michelle a confidence boost and help her get to her first final.
Rooting for the underdogs! Ill be happy if Derek and Michele at least place 3rd!
Michele can do as poorly as possible irdc i'm just glad she's in the finals where she belongs 😁
Jordan & Jenny are winning this.
The challenge God's couldn't have gotten a More excellent outcome of Tori coming last in the daily and also automatically going into the elimination and Jenny and Jordan ended up winning and also getting the last control of power in the game there.
Jenny’s puzzle was wrong, they had to make the penalty 6 times longer than any other penalty, of course they had to give them a water elimination, Tori was evidently underwater, Cara Maria was so set up this elimination.
Is this the most stacked final ever?
which one was worse? rachel vs cara or tori vs rachel?
The next scheduled episode is supposed to be on January 1st, 2025.
Ridiculous between ppl having DVR and streaming options there is no reason to have a break. This season literally started in August
Im glad Cara is gone lol. Out of all the girls she deserved it the least based on this season imo. Still had a good showing. 😃
The karma points thing is still silly to me because it comes down to alliance. The people in or closely tied to the vacation alliance will probably have more points.
9:16 I think the problem is this any progress was off air. There is no way with all these 90 minute filler episodes we couldn't have seen a conversation with them.
This elimination was actually crazy .. takes a lot of endurance. This final is gonna be so unpredictable the line up is insane. But it’s still Team Jordan ❤ still rooting for Kyland and Rachel . Rachel held it down for era 1.
Jenny’s puzzle was wrong…
Are you sure?
I’ve heard it was wrong too but I can’t tell
@@atmrecords2453yea her top and bottom pieces are swapped
It looks like maybe the bottom and top green planks are a little misaligned, so they may be mixed up. But I think the judges may not have noticed that small error in the heat of the moment.
@@musicdaydreams2506 thats literally their only job
Haven’t watched all season ( waiting to binge watch ) but I hope bananas or Jordan wins
I find it kinda whack that there’s a penalty for Derek in the final but no penalty for the women.
Tori's overconfidence nearly cost her the final, I hope she will lock it down for the final. It did cost her Cara Maria making it to the final. Michelle is definitely the weakest womens player left but credit to her she put in a great effort and earned her automatic spot to the final. It is sad seeing Cara not make it before the final. Predictable that Jordan would pick her to go into the elimination but there was no malice there, just had worked with Rachel from the get go. It was nice watching Cara really grow from feeling like she was on her own when Paulie went home, to having to deal with Laurel, to befriending a lot of the people in the house and realizing she is truly a Challenge great. Definitely wanna see her back next season or in future seasons. Derek is the weakest mens player left so the last place finish in that challenge wasn't surprising. That puzzle definitely stumped Kyland but good for him to make sure he finished 3rd. I love all the karma coming Johnny's way, he's terrible. Now also seeing he went to Mara Lago recently I am extra motivated to want to see him lose this final. As long as he doesn't win I'm happy. His blasphemy at the dinner table about how he was treated was laughable considering his history. Let a narcissist ramble I say.. Rooting for Kyland, love how he has made it to the final after losing right before the final last season. Didn't agree on every move he made this season but I understand why he made them and he is a down to earth true blue dude. Jordan has played one of the best social games ever on the Challenge, didn't even see an elimination. While credit for that, I feel everyone should earn their place, so for that reason I'm not rooting for him. Tori I'm rooting for but she needs to harness that overconfidence. Rachel is a beast, all-around capable at winning for sure. Jenny is great but will her endurance problems cost her. Michelle has impressed me this season but I can't get over how she acted last season and in past seasons. I will not be rooting for her. And Derek is a decent guy no reason I'd be unhappy if he wins I just don't see that happening. I think it's between Kyland, Bananas, Jordan and Rachel, and really will come down to Kyland or Jordan. I hope Kyland pulls this out, looks like it will be a grueling Final. And lastly I really thought this was a lame final elimination, a hall brawl or something fast would have been better. I'm not sure how Tori will have much energy left for the final. That's kind of her fault, her overconfidence put her in this position, but that elimination was pretty whack to me right before the final.
I swear she acted the same way in USA 2 final. Underestimated her opponents.
Rooting for Tori! If I have to pick a guy to win, I’ll go for Kyland! Luckily every finalist is deserving of the win so will be happy with whoever wins!
Jenny and jordan are winning this..said it from the moment this season and competitor s were announced jordan is just too good and jenny has the will power and strength
I think johnny had a tent when he was on the bed with Rachel and Jenny. he switched positions like 6 times.
Seeing Tori failed on the puzzle was wonderful.
Tori underestimated a puzzle is an equalizer but she still completed jt she just came in last
@@GML560 somebody making an excuse! At least Cara Maira failed in water which she has always suck at!
I like Cara but you don’t think she needs to work on her swimming.? She can’t blame anyone but herself. I’m glad Tori admitted she made a bad call too with her strategy
YASSSS HAHAHA CARA FANS AND TORI HATERS 😁
Kyland and Jenny FTW🤞
Rachel and Derek probably have the most karma points.
I think the introduction of “karma points” into the challenge is sooo lame. It’s rewarding our players for being boring
For this season I think was the biggest let down. The format of 4 teams then being an individual later one was not it. It should’ve been like “free agents”
Karma points are ridiculous.
I thought after Tori was in the water for close to 3 hours, TJ was gonna start the final lol
I like that 3 of the Angels got to the final. They were outnumbered the entire time since the game became individual and all of them deserved it.
Facts! Especially how’s many times they sent Johnny, Rachel and Jenny Come to think of it they had to do at least 50% of the eliminations
@@atmrecords2453 True but also Johnny winning so much did make it so Rachel & Jenny were safe from being targets for a decent portion of the individual game. So Johnny being outnumbered actually kind of worked out for the girls since he was a target so much and was able to save them (the same way being aligned w/ Michele helped Kyland since she was consistently a target and would save him after coming back).
@@atmrecords2453 they did 3 out of 8 eliminations in individual part of the season
@@alphabetsoup22again bananas was only sent in by Tori as far as I can remember so really it’s down to tori that he was able to save rachell&jenny so much and either way they are top3 females on the season even if they went in against anyone outside the angles they’d of most likely won Tori’s no1 guy was also looking out for rachell Jenny had to fight the most for females rachell was liked by everyone even while working with a villain
@@LeytonWalker-c5u Yeah it was with Michele going in so many times she always made him a target, and Tori threw him in. So that was a few weeks straight that the Angels were all safe. Glad to see Rachel in the final for sure, she had a great political game AND a great season competitively. Jenny has kind of annoyed me this season but she's strong so good for her. In terms of eliminations though, Michele went in more times than Jenny or Rachel so actually neither of them did the majority of eliminations this season for the women (Jenny 2, Rachel 2, Tori 2, Michele 3). Tori killed this season tbh so I kind of feel like she deserves the win, even though I have mixed feelings on her in general. I'd honestly be happy if anyone wins except Jenny because I also like both Rachel and Michele. But Jenny is a good competitor so I know I have a high chance of being disappointed lol.
Jenny didn’t do the puzzle correctly. Either terribly egregious errors are being made by production or they are picking preferred winners. Either way, not cool. And it makes this show less interesting.
look @ 6:59.. Jenny's puzzle is wrong.... SMH
I'm upset that Tori took her time in this Last Challenge. Michelle should've gone home. Michelle has the nerve to be celebrating with Kyland since she treated Kyland like dirt on their last season together.
Also Cara seemed so much happier once "quitter" Laurel left. Laurel should have her " champs" title taken away for quitting because she was hot.
Tori has been awesome this whole time and she is not caulky. Jordan is great but SO SO caulky, it's a turn off
Find it very odd that only Derek has a penalty in the finals. I wonder if there will be an opportunity for a woman to be given a penalty at some point
I mean Tori basically has a huge disadvantage. She spent hours before the final doing an exhausting water elimination, she is probably extremely fatigued.
What happen to jordans claim of the challenge cheating? Did that pass already¿?
He made that point before the season started. Said production was doing a half ass job in checking people's puzzles.
Has anybody noticed how Rachel brags about "women empowerment" yet TWICE she has made snarky comments about Cara Maria? First one was on the car cliff challenge, she had made a comment on her swimming, that her efforts are disappointing. Then in this water treading elimination she said something along the lines of Cara losing this elimination because she's using too much energy movement? Just negative comments while Cara gave her 5 points, smh. Like that isnt supporting a, "so called friend" Rachel. I now understand why Johnny called her two faced on Battle of the Exes when Rachel tried throwing Mark under the bus so she wouldnt go into elimination. Snakes eventually come out of the grass 🤷♀️
I don’t like Rachel but you’re clutching at straws with the using more energy comment it was just a factual observation. I do agree with the swimming challenge she really didn’t need to try bring her down
I’m curious, have you had contestants tell you they won’t play if they have the red skull twist? That was their best twist ever and there’s NO need to have this skating by bullshit. At the very least they should give red skulls out to those who win daily’s
Queen Cara!!!!!
Jenny did not win that. Production messed up and gave her the win. Her first and last stick were not even remotely aligned.
Im still waiting for your drew walter white moment bro you'd look so badass just saying
ur gonna look like FitMC bro
I just don’t want tori or Johnny to win lol
Jordan for the men and honestly I want Michelle to win for the women lol just to piss and prove that even the under dog and basically the newbie to win over all.
Kyland I want him to be in 2nd. Basically to be so close to Jordon
And that’s it. Don’t care for anyone else.
I haven’t actually watched these episodes, only these recaps. It’s awesome seeing Cara Maria smiling more & more. I really didn’t like the seasons where she had the bitchy resting face. She seemed unlikable when it was her & Paulie in control. It’s wonderful seeing the old Cara. Too bad she couldn’t get to the finals….
I’ve always like Bananas but this season he’s really getting on my nerves. He’s so whiny!
Idc what anyone says this was one of the worse most boring eliminations of the season. This is not how you want to head into the finals. It would have been a momentum killer if the show wasn’t already losing steam
‘Idc what anyone says’ur in a comment section buddy your name says it all they can’t keep rinsing the same eliminations the game keeps changing I do agree we needed more pshycial eliminations when we got tori against kaycee and cara
No the problem is you made an assumption about what my opinion was based on my name. I never said anything about a physical elimination I said this was boring and one of the worst which I stand by. They were treading water who the hell wants to watch that. They clearly were just making due with the location change done but they could of come up with something better this was lazy especially for the last elimination
so long cara...
Rooting for jenny
Since Cara is gone, I definitely want Jenny to win it. I wouldn't even be mad if Rachel had won, but someone already spoiled the winners in the comment section.
@@deshawnthomas9023it got spoiled since cast was released mate and it’s a good outcome for women looking at the numbers in game would of been better if bananas won since Jordan had to do 0 fighting to get there but can’t complain
Jenny's planos dont looks right. The first and lady should be switched
Jenny's puzzle definitely looked off to me. The top and bottom green pieces don't seem like they are in the correct spots, they don't line up how everyone else's did. The shield part at least just looks like its the way she pushed in the planks but they're still in the right spots-- the top and bottom pieces don't look like they would line up even if you shifted them. It looks to me like they should have been flipped. Maybe she still would've won but I hate when this kind of thing happens.
What a stupid challenge
I agree. Favoritism to a certain challenger, I believe. 🙄
Can't stand kyland. Sad he's still around.
