I'm like Brenda, I appreciate what Bananas brings to the show. However, I hate that many of the old-timers will try to get by without going into elimination but want to go straight to the final. This is why I wish for every season regardless of whether it is MTV flagship or Challenge USA on CBS, that it is mandatory that you have to go into elimination if you want to run the final.

I totally agree Lexie and I remember a season (or two) where you had to go into a challenge to win a token or something that was the key to the finale. I also tire of the big dogs who make their way to a finale never having won a challenge during that season. What a bunch of babies!
I can't wait to see how the points awarded by those eliminated play into this season. It could really hinder some of the unlikable people.

I like Bananas for the drama. IRL, it seems to me he's really not like that, it's just how he plays the game.
That said, I'm for Cara Maria or Rachel. Tori has lost some of her shine for me. Laurel is a bully, and she's a big no from me.

I follow bananas on insta and he does seem likeable. I think he plays it up on the show, creates drama.
I agree about Laurel. I hope this "points" thing by the eliminated players really hinders her as she likely makes the final. She is a beast, a mean beast.

Brenda, I agree... his reality persona is a character.
On House of Villains, he gave up the victory to Tanisha by taking her to the final vote, knowing she would win. He could have taken someone else, knowing that he would win.
He's not a bad guy. I think he learned his lesson from not sharing the money with Sarah on the Challenge.

I like him as well. I love listening to his voice, there is just something about it.
Kar, I agree, he was very kind to do that. He knew she needed money more than he did. I bet he got way more to appear on that show than she did
I also cant stand Laurel. I have loved my jersey girl Michelle since Survivor. I'm fairly new to the Challenge but I am rooting for Cara Marie

Cara Maria is my Queen!!! She is probably one of the top favorite females of all the Challengers. Everyone loves her!!!

I like her a lot too. She seems to have a generous spirit.
Wow about Laurel last night! I thought she'd skate to the final. i'm not impressed with her "give up" attitude. Good riddance! That heat looked so intense and I appreciate that they gave them hats, but why black? That just absorbs the heat -- should have been tan.

totally didn't see that coming from Laurel. Something has to be going on for her to quit like that. Or just a shift in age. I don't know.
Theo grew on me a bit last night.

I think that heat was brutal! Glad Bananas stayed! Glad Laurel is out and wont bother Cara Maria anymore!

I think some of them said that Laurel had lost a lot of her conditioning, and with her facing so many very strong women this season, she was struggling in a lot of ways.
Glad to see her go tho.
And Johnny, crabby as he is this season, showed why he has won so many Challenges.

Johnny is amazing and I love his cocky attitude most of the time. I do think he goes overboard sometimes. But CT will always be my #1.

Jff, I agree... I was sorry to see him go out so soon on this season, but his team was old and slow.  Except for Rachel and Derrick and CT.
