Saw it on the subreddit. Nelson did an Instagram Live after the episode.


Quote:

Nelson thought Josh really wanted to go against him until after the show was done being filmed when Tori told him Josh begging to be thrown in was an act, that she didn't put Josh in because he begged her to keep him safe, and as a friend she did that for him. Nelson was shocked to learn this, and after seeing this tonight he lost respect for Josh for doing that, and wonders if he did all that for show for the cameras.

Jay and Josh supposedly argued more than we saw and Jay seems to dislike Josh a lot now. Josh went to Jay and told him he isn't voting for him, to vote for Nelson, only to see tonight Josh voted for him. Jay doesn't understand why he would do that, seems to be over Josh.

WOW. None of this would surprise me regarding Josh. He is very dramatic. Curious to see how Josh and Tori act together in the next episode based on his reaction that she screwed him over.

I took notes during the episode because I'm a dork

*Big T seems like a real gem and seems like she would be super fun to hang out with
*The whole "fight" between Devin and Amber was so stupid and hearing Devin say that he was going to "make her exit" and her replying "make me exit" was so weird and funny.
*This episode was filled with TJ gold. He is aging like fine wine and anytime he cracks up laughing is always amazing. Him laughing at all the teams failing at the drone challenge was great.
*Drone challenge-I was trying to remember any recent daily that was not physical at ALL that wasn't a puzzle. Kind of an interesting change that challenged a whole different skill set. I do think it would've been more interesting if they had different heats, like run the drone out on field, then the first few teams that are top in that heat move in to a harder course, then the best teams of that move in to the cave which clearly was very difficult. Seems like that would have given more of a fighting chance for everyone.
*Devin and Tori's communication during the daily was excellent and I love their friend/hate banter.
*Josh fronting to Jay and Jay replying "I will STEP in your MOUTH" cracked me up.
*When Fessy and Aneesa get called down and Josh keeps saying "Woooooow" over and over again and Nany shushes him with irritation made me laugh...she was like an annoyed mother.
*Nelson is generally an idiot but he is tv gold and I felt so bad for him in this episode. Fessy did him wrong.
*Fessy could beat almost any of those guys in a hall brawl, why ask to get thrown in against his "friend "?
*Per reddit Nelly had dislocated his finger at the semi truck challenge and he and Cory popped it back in and didn't tell production. Nelly apparently couldn't close his hand and was in pain and the only people knew about it were Cory and...Fessy. During the hall brawl Fessy was intentionally going after Nelly's bad hand, throwing sand in his eyes, etc., really dirty fighting. I understand wanting to win but trying to deliberately hurt someone, especially someone you call a friend, is really crappy.

On a random side note, I'm concurrently rewatching Exes 2 and Nia just drank a cup of Zac's sweat on a bet and it was disgusting

Lol these are awesome, you should do this for every episode.

I hope TJ never goes away. Everytime he calls out the challengers for playing scared or says run my final, I laugh.

I love Devin and Tori's love/hate relationship. Surprised he chose someone he doesnt get along with but obviously that move paid off. He may be the most strategic player since Wes.

If all that is true about Nelson/Fessi, that is so messed up. I hate Fessi even more now. He couldve beat Nelson without playing dirty.
Hey...so.. um

Nelson said that was true. He also had a strained back going into that elimination and hasn't spoke to fessi since the sand that night. He was on tori and aneesa's podcast.
Hey...so.. um
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Devin and Tori are great together. They both want to win and agree on that and pretty much nothing else.

Their banter is awesome!

Devin's fight with Nelson was awesome. Amber made that into a huge deal and Nelson realized that after the fact and talked about it on the podcast.

Man, I really thought we were going to get rid of Josh that episode. He sucks. Good on Fessy for getting a skull, but it did look like played dirty and didn't do that great for a college TE.

Devin & Tori together is good TV. They're both good schemers and she's nice enough to go along with some of his stuff.

Random note, but I was shocked to see that Devin was taller than CT. When they were talking I had to rewind it then Google to see, but that shook me. I always thought Devin was small, though I knew CT is only about 6' even.

I didn't realize that about CT either. I always thought he was 6'5. Couldn't sworn I saw that somewhere.

I met CT in Boston a few summers ago. He having dinner at the same restaurant. Im 6'0" and he was a little taller give or take. Not sure what kind of shoes he had on.

This week's podcast with Aneesa and Tori should be interesting.

Question: can Rouge agents be compromised by house vote or double agent votes?

CT is awesome this season. I like that Devin doesn't mind being hated.

Good episode.

Good for Aneesa beating Tori. Tori has been unbearable this season, Im glad she lost.

LOL at Fessi having Aneesa as a partner again. Serves him right.

The whole switching partners so often kind of cheapens this season for me. Feels kind of gimmicky and dont know if the producers thought this through completely. Hope they dont go back to this format again.

I love CT and Big T's relationship. Its kind of flirty, kind of mentor/mentee. Either way, I like it.
Hey...so.. um
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I like the format as a change of pace. It really throws a wrench in some of their games. Devin choosing Tori completely changed the game.

I think so? Devin was kind of a rouge agent when Nicole got DQ'd and he wound up being the house vote.

I guess I need to go back and watch again. I wonder what would happen if it was a female elimination.

Tj would say "So we're gonna have another vote right here. Nany, you're up first: who are you compromising?"

I like the partner trading twist. Think that it's making things interesting. I don't really care for the rookies, they do seem like a bunch of scrubs (besides Lolo and Nam) game-wise and entertainment-wise.

I honestly think Fessy should have stayed with Anessa last time, so I think this is good for him to be paired with her again.
Hey...so.. um

Did anybody listen to aneesa and tori's podcast? They are still so full of themselves it makes me laugh. Pissed that Devin was trying to get tori out when the week before she was trying to get Devin out. Very funny.

Ok i finally watched this latest episode (I'm having a baby in like a month so I've been busy prepping/going crazy) so here are my rambling thoughts:

Lol @ the peanut gallery watching Corey and fessy argue

Josh all bark no bite (like always)

Gold chains???? Kc, Josh, kam, fess... all over a black shirt. Guess I'm not hip or with it enough to know if that's trendy right now but personally dislike. Also Josh should not wear turtlenecks.

Like the house layout the more they show, the work out area is nice. Glad they've gone away from trying to make them all miserable in a bunker. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the vets wouldn't sign on if production kept making the living conditions so awful.

Big T wants tori vs aneesa wow fingers crossed

Devin is hot... didn't ever see it before but I'm about it now

Scenery incredible... Iceland is on my bucket list for whenever we can travel again

Natalie out, wtf!! Super random and unexpected, I haven't read yet about why but I'm curious if other cast was aware before TJ announced it. She was great back when she was on Amazing Race with her twinnie and then of course on Survivor. I'm disappointed we don't get to see how far she'd go but you know she'll be back.

Security breach= millionaire Mitchell, cool twist bringing back the person Nat sent home.

Ashley Mitchell needs to lay off the filler or botox or whatever she's doing... she's looking too waxy and older than she is

Darrell "height shock" lol. I love him and so glad he came back

Today all upper body....super hard for women. Makes it extra impressive that T hung on as long as she did

Lol @ Leroy having to hold aneesa's big ass up

Big T mean growling lol...she's adorable

Big T/CT relationship <3

Hate the chamber nomination gimmick...the spy stuff kind of seems a little silly and takes me out of the show a bit

Aneesa so out of shape, amazed she beat Tori.

My husband was watching with me and he's insisting that Tori's set up was rigged or didn't work right. It does seem odd that she took so long to tip it.

Fessy back with aneesa lol.

LOL please keep doing these, I enjoy reading them. Congrats on the baby by the way!

That Big T growl had me cracking up! And the look, or non look, on TJ's face, just like nothing out of the ordinary for him. TJ is gold on these shows. I hope he never retires. Im sure they are, but I wonder if TJ is friends with these guys in real life.

Weird for Josh to go so over the top at Fessi when it was later discovered it was all a show and he asked Tori not to send him in against Nelson. Surprised Tori didnt say anything to him right then and there.

Tori played such a messy game this season. Surprised because she is usually well liked and plays a good game.

I don't think tori's was rigged, but she was trying to tip it before it got the little track stop thing. She did it wrong in my opinion.

Love your recaps!

I agree with this, that's what I told my wife. I think she didn't have it as far towards her as she could and that's why it wouldn't tip.

My wife told me she saw on twitter or instagram or some other platform that Natalie is pregnant and that's why she left.

Whats crazy is that it took Tori forever to tip that thing, she gave Aneesa a HUGE head start. And Tori still came back and almost caught up to Aneesa. If Tori had tipped that thing at the same time as Aneesa, she would have smoked her.

She did leave the show because she was pregnant, so your wife was right. She found out on the show. She had the miscarriage after she was home for several weeks already.

I went to Alaska with some buddies in August and we were north of the Arctic Circle and it looked similar to what we've seen this season.

It was absolutely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Alaska.

I think they've slightly pivoted in how they present the overall cast to the audience, at least from how I remember. Though you may be right in that bananas and Cara (and a couple more) just hogged drama/camera time so much that it got tiring.
LisaMarie

Bananas is definitely a camera hog but Cara Maria over the years has gotten so bitter and like a shell of her former self. Its like so many of these returning vets can set the game aside outside of "work" and she just can't let things go. Plus Paulie is horrible.

Did this show lose viewers? I feel like last years thread had many more posts.

I thought this week was blah.

I'm not sure why Jay lied to Kyle and Cory. Theresa isn't good for his game. Just tell them he thinks it is a girls week and he is letting his partner choose and tell them straight up. He created enemies he didn't need.

Agreed. This weeks episode was blah compared to the rest of the season.

Not sure what jay was thinking there. Theresa is creating a lot of enemies.

Lolo is starting to get annoying. I would hate to be her partner.

Not really sure who the best teams are that are left. They're all pretty evenly matched up.

Quinn

Losing lots of good cast members and some blah people are still around.

Theresa got a strong competitor out, but when is she going to get her own skull?? Is anyone going to go down there on their own this season?

Other than that, pretty boring episode.
