And every season one of the girls falls for his nonsense and ruins a relationship because of him  

[mikemack8]

Do we think Rogan actually hurt Jay or are they just building up the suspense for next week?  

Also - big pet peeve - 90 minute episode and they still don't show who won the elimination

Yooo when he was video chatting with his girlfriend back home, WHILE smashing Georgia in the villa, and told her it was his cousin he was talking to  #LEGEND

I think this was the first time in 3ish seasons of introducing 90 minute episodes that they DIDN’T show the ending of the elimination. 
my hope, because it would be entertaining af, is if this Jay injury is suspense before he dusts himself off and sends Rogan home. That would be mtv produced drama at its finest!

Yeah I don't see that happening - they essentially took away Jay's only advantage (speed) by making him dress in that ridiculous fire suit

Sad

Looks like The Ringer's Best Reality TV Character Bracket is CT vs. Bananas for the championship  

The Challenge wins again!

[Agent23]

It is teh awesome. 

[homerpat]

weak late hit by Rogan after the fact. Dude you’re a rugger twice his size. no need to cheap shot because your **** kissed a guy. 

[mikemack8]

So I was listening to a Ringer podcast this weekend - linked to from the reality TV character bracket.  It was an interview of Bananas - the MFer says who won the current season of the Challenge.  I was like damn - spoiler alert?  WTF?

Wait did he? I was listening to that while doing stuff around the house and don’t recall him mentioning who wins.

He definitely did

DO NOT OPEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO WINS AND WHO IS IN THE FINAL

Spoiler

So Bananas wins - he said it in the podcast.  I was skeptical so I googled spoilers, and everything I'm reading says him and Jenny win, and Kyle and Kaycee are runners up

 

[Agent23]

I clicked because I’ll enjoy the show regardless of if it’s true. I’m fine with the guys listed and the female winner. The other female is a bit surprising.

yeah that annoyed the crap outta me lol. I kinda expected Rogan to lose this, as some guys with muscles like that aren't actually tough and the muscles are all for show. Think of Jenny v Tori last season when Tori went right through her in hall brawl... but yeah after that shot that looks like its a dislocated shoulder, guess thats it for Jay this season. Which is annoying. The throw the rookie in, throw the rookie in, throw the rookie in mentality, even as the rookie is winning, until he ends up going home gameplay is annoying and cheap. Was nice to see TJ lay into the cast this last week pre-elimination about not nominating someone else/themselves to get their own skulls.

I originally thought same thing about physical thinking back to Jenny but then Rogan said he played rugby so I knew Jay was toast

ah gotcha, totally missed that part. Then yeah unfortunately he is one of the those tools who probably can back it up. That said, he is mostly entertaining.

$10 under budget.  Brave!

 

Best I raked in on this so far  is a nickle, so sure.  I just need you to send a self addressed stamped envelope

 

FWIW, this is what I had:

$24 Johnny Bananas (MVP)

$22 Wes 

$17 Swaggy

$23 Dee

$14 Josh
 

 

So I was way off

I heart Jenna because her booty is and for being very ditzy, she had one season where she went into and won like 4 straight elimination rounds. Went through the finals with Banana's sketchy cousin Vince. Was in another Final with her loser ex-bf Jay (who made them drop out because he couldn't/wouldn't eat some of the gross good). I think she's maybe even made a 3rd Final? For someone who seems like a layup (and a good lay!), she's actually out-kicked her coverage in these comps.

I was gonna post in here that I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with this Jay/Rogan resolution tonight but now I'm reminded that the previews for this episode show Zach threatening to break up with Jenna over Skype    what an absolute overly emotional psychopath. Considering that their engaged today too. I hope he looks like an absolute clown on this episode.

Who's the clown?  Him, or her for sticking with him?
