Television MTV The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies

[kahiljabroni]

Forgot about this thread. I'm caught up on the new season. Haven't been impressed with it to be honest. Very heavy on the drama with next to no physical competition. I also don't like this format where it's unisex and it's winner take all. For one, you know the eliminations are going to be weak ass. They can't put two girls or a guy/girl team against a team with two guys in a knock down drag out physical elimination. It's gonna be some horse shit puzzles and what not. Also CT is basically fucked with Veronica as his partner.

Either way I'll be watching the shit, just think it could be much better

I dont like that format either

Damn, how useless is Derrick? Tori's partner, that guy can't do anything

He's so bad I swear he's a character played by Brendan Schaub trying to get laughs. Clearly Tori wore the penis in their relationship.

I swear that when Brad and CT stand next to each other they look like a lesbian couple whose test therapy has gone WAY HAYWIRE and that wouldn't be so bad if CT wasn't the wife.

Agree with this. It's like they're just doing more of the things I hate about the last few seasons (loser's house, super heavy on the drama and little emphasis on the competition, takes 3 episodes to get to the 1st real elimination, seasons taking forever). The mixed teams is a really stupid decision. The last elimination they had to rig it so it was harder for the team with the guy, but it was way too rigged to the point the guy could barely move in his harness vs Kam causally being able to walk around. I don't see how you can do a physical elimination when you have mixed teams. Just really short sighted. Although I am glad Natalie's fake ass got sent to the reject house.

Weird to say but I've actually enjoyed the last few Champs vs Stars seasons more than the regular Challenge.

The last one was really fun. Louise Hazel has become one of my favorite new cast members.

Agree, they really dragged out these first few episodes. Hopefully now that we know how the eliminations work, we can get back to a challenge and elimination with every episode.

Used to think Britni was cute, this season she's annoying as hell

And for the elimination, did Paulie have double the thickness of cord wrapped around him? He was struggling to get his puzzle pieces, meanwhile "Killer Kam" looked like she was basically in the cage with her partner, helping her solve the puzzle

Louise is awesome, loved how quickly she picked up on Wes' tactics and used them against him

Yeah I saw this pic on Reddit.

Kinda hurts the legitimacy of some of these eliminations.

The running joke on Reddit is that the challenge is basically Dragonball Z with it's pacing nowadays. Also on board with you on Brittany. She comes off as a complete psycho.

Well damn, didn't notice while watching it, kinda want to go back now and watch again, the way it was edited was that KIller Kam just kicked Paulie's ass. Damn she's cocky.

I fucked up'd and read the spoilers for this season, dropped into the reddit rabbit hole, but holy fuck is this season gonna be crazy

 

[Alphaboy]

I honestly didn't know it was still on but stop to glance at it whenever I catch it while channel surfing.

I like CT and a lot of the girls are hot on that show.

 

[ShadowRun]

Yea I am pretty annoyed for this season I usually don't complain much but the mixed gender comp is stupid as hell. The elimination was so rigged, Kam was standing next to the cage no struggle and Paulie barley could touch the puzzle pieces. CT got screwed with the worse girl partner there, I like bananas and it's very annoying they barley show one challenge or elimination in a episode. The drama is cool but there doesn't need to be a 10 minute discussion about it with all the cast interviews.

Since I'm getting likes on some of my old posts here, I'm guessing the new season started?

 

[brokenjaw]

How many eps have aired? Only way I can watch this show is if I binge it. So, I'm gonna be needing at least four eps before i take interest.

Only 3 episodes so far, and only 1 elimination, that's how much they're dragging this out

Holy shit, that's pathetic. I'll start watching this week. I got a feeling the filler will wear off a bit by the time i get up to speed.

 

[Rivait_15]

What the hell else does MTV have to air? they should show 2 episodes back to back.

Mixed teams is a joke what kind of fairness bullshit will they try to pull for Tony/Bananas vs two chicks

Paulie got jobbed, other dudes in the house seemed legit concerned about him as a competitor before that rigged elimination

 

[brokenjaw]

started watching this new season...3 minutes in and the he camera man is already earning his paycheck.

 

[brokenjaw]

maaaan redemption house is such a fucking cop out. Why can't they just man up send the fuckers home?

 

[brokenjaw]

On another note, Brit and her pornface really do it for me

 

[Morning Star]

Great, another episode down with nothing significant happening. Takes over half the episode for anything to happen. Basically a Loser's House episode. No Daily Challenge, No real elimination, and 1 team that has a 0% chance of winning comes back. Paulie sucks. Dude is such a moron. Instead of picking a weak team (Jemmy/Jenna) he picks a team that has a girl that's much better than useless Natalie. Then fake tough guy tries to pick a fight with the biggest dude in the game. Found myself fast forwarding most of the episode.
