    Genuinely poetic that Laurel got purged, especially on a mini final. All she does is talk about how she's one of the best girls there and all the guys should want her there for a final, meanwhile she comes in last on the mini final while also yet again proving that she is a terribly sore loser (and a sore winner). She is so insufferable on this show, and when she's losing at something it's always "this is stupid", "i don't want to do this"--- she acts like a quitter once she's already losing and gives up so she can pretend she wasn't even trying or that it was somehow the task itself and not her. Then in the karma points to be saying "oh well this person isn't going to make the final so..."--- Laurel, they're already closer to making the final than you are. Her attitude is just terrible.
    Actually really sad to see Nehemiah go, I liked him a lot this season and would like to see him back.

      I once was not a Bananas fan, but ever since he got eliminated in Vendetta’s I’ve been a fan. He had shown some maturity since leaving Sarah on the mountain without money. And he’s in the right with his anger towards Tori at least from the edit. The way Johnny approached Michelle was 100% a protective friend after seeing her on last season. He has seen Devin’s love on the show before and was looking out. Devin turned it toxic with the misinformation Olivia gave at least from what we were shown. And Devin did indeed turn Bananas friends against him and make them play his game. And I’m still confused why Kyland is so tight with Michelle after last season where she literally kept putting him and his number ones every time and getting Olivia to turn on Nurys.

The heat and more so the humidity of Vietnam in the summer can make it tough to catch your breath when you haven't got asthma but when you have asthma in those conditions it absolutely explains alot. It does also mean though that unless they switch country for the final to somewhere cooler with lower humidity she stands no chance even if she makes the final

I know she can find a way to get to the end. Hoping she has a few more good/respectable performances in eliminations or dailies (or in the final if she makes it) and can earn more people's respect this season.

      I had it for about a year and a half myself, it definitely is some trash. It can be worked on though! You just gotta stretch all the muscles in the backside of your leg intensely and for a few minutes at a time every day. My main tool was a deep wall calf stretch (runners stretch) that i would hold for about 3 minutes on each leg, 2 sometimes 3, times a day. I'd do downward facing dog for about 2 minutes, and different toe touch variations (if you do it seated while pulling your toes back, thats a real good one for hitting the plantar fascia and ankles). I was able to notice a difference in pain after about a week and a half, and after about 4 months of training it was gone. I'm in my mid 30's, for reference.

    2. Laurel quit (don't take care hope to see you never, goat girl my a$$)

    I knew something was coming when Laurel spoke about her win on AS4 and how she is debt free and her goal is to help the animals on the street, etc. so when I saw her slowly giving up and complaining I knew she was going to get purged out this episode. Also when Theo spoke about trying to make his son proud, another foreshadow and we still hadn't seen the argument on the bus with Bananas and Michele(I think) dragging Aviv into the argument. I'm also a little disappointed in Cara's performance lately, love her but damn Cara. Very impressed with Tori and you can't get me to like kyland. Never will like him so I could care less when he opens his mouth to speak🤧

  • @kimmiek2006
    @kimmiek2006 11 дней назад +4

    Laurel quitting was probably the highlight of the whole episode...she's preached to Cara Maria and who knows who, that she's gonna win this and she's one of the best and yet just gave up and to quit the challenge like that was just out of character for her. Not a fan of hers but it felt so out of character for her to do that. My favorite moment would have to be Bananas winning the elimination again and basically saying "who cheered for me" and then targeting Michele, Olivia and Cara Maria because they didn't cheer for him. I liked that it was a purge challenge. I feel like there might be a double elimination coming up but who knows. I'm surprised we didn't hear TJ say something like "I hate quitters" or "Hope to see you never" because Laurel quit but then again, the last few seasons, he hasn't said much about people quitting. As for Tori, the more she targets Bananas, the more he's going to keep targeting Michele and Olivia until he has no choice but to start saying names in his alliance. I do think that Tori has a hot head and might find herself in an elimination soon. Usually, that's what happens. Someone gets on a winning streak thinking they are better or whatever and then they end up going into elimination because they lose a challenge or because of some sort of twist. Overall, it the episode was alright. The elimination could have been better but I honestly thought Theo would win because even though he's tall, he's thin compared to Bananas, although I'm glad Bananas won.

    I enjoyed this episode. It was great, Theo, bombed horribly this season but he impressed the hell out of me during the elimination. Also for some of the other players, Cara hasn’t been performing as well as I know she can, Tori is killing it, Rachel, is really impressing me this season, she is showing that she can hang with the new generation of competitors. Also socially she’s been killing it. Olivia isn’t the competitor I thought she was. She usually always finishes in the middle of the pack. Her rookie season with Horacio she looked much stronger. Maybe because she was partnered with Horacio which pushed her to perform well. But her last couple seasons she hasn’t done anything to impress me, she’s not even that entertaining. I really wanna see Michaela and Desi on the main show.

    I am not a full fan of Bananas. Bananas was right, if he was to lose the elimination, his alliance would be in trouble (Aviv and Jenny more than Rachel). It was nice to see that he was somewhat motivated to fight for them. It was kind of interesting how it shaped out, what if Michele was purged, who would of Bananas select to be the 3rd target with Olivia and Cara? He would of had to select Laurel, Jenny, Rachel, or Aviv.
    Laurel being a brat and quitting was very disappointing. Surprise, surprise Michele giving Josh grief for being his own person and rooting how he wants to root. LOL Josh, being a baby about it was kinda funny. But both annoying.

You can't really be friends with everyone in terms of the game-- at that point you're not a friend to anyone. And I think it's this idea of-- well, if you're going to be rooting for people you know are picking me as a target, and you're friends with everyone-- then maybe I should actually be picking you as a target even though I haven't been because of the fact that we're friends. When it comes down to it, he has friends on all sides and therefore nobody feels like they can fully trust him to have their back when it matters. (Michele doing a bit much in the heat of the moment sure, but I think it's more about the bigger picture)

I am sad to see Nehemiah be purged and glad to see Theo gone from the game. Rachel continues to impress this season same with Jenny and Cory on the men's side.

Michelle in the meantime is impressive in a sense that she fully uses her underdog story to push her to never give up, we saw how Laurel reacts when she feels like she is at the bottom...Michelle has been performing at the bottom consistently but she is still scraping by, and that is a heart I want to see in the challengers. Do I think either of them will win? NO. But seeing people improving each season and fighting to stay in is where this show thrives.

As for Laurel, it was surprising, but she's at the back-end of her career, and she didn't really want it compared to the other challengers. The cramping out elimination was interesting. This elimination was disadvantageous towards Theo (given his height), plus it looked like Bananas was a bit more lucky on the card flips- which ended up making the difference. All in all, Bananas is still in with less numbers, but it looks like Josh is gonna join up with Bananas' angels lol.

That is what happened to the players that timed out.
