The Challenge: Free Agents Recap #7

The Challenge: Free Agents Recap #7

the-challenge-season-25-free-agents

The episode beginning with all of the haterade being spewed by Bananas in reference to Jordan made it clear this rivalry had reached a boiling point.  Theresa’s machinations with Aneesa were also obviously going to figure into the A plot.

Challenge #7: Sausage Party

I like that they put a bit of a spin on the obligatory food challenge, by having the contestants “be” the food.  You crazy for this one Teej!  Twas another individual challenge with men and ladies rounds – an obstacle course race.  The men/women had to wrap themselves up in saran and roll through a course on their side.  It looked kinda funny, but its design if I had to guess would be to be a total equalizer challenge. No one can be THAT much better at rolling around on the ground right?  The women went first and it was really hard to see who was doing well, but really easy to see that Jessica was the worst* (ok not really, I just don’t like her).  Laurel and Cara Maria were making moves.  This looked fun until that “grill” section.  Laurel ended up taking the win, but Cara was SUPER close to beating her to the bun.  It took a reeeeeally long time for anyone else to roll to a bun, but Jonna, Devyn, and Nany ended up in the Draw.

The men went second and it looked like Leroy planned to live in the draw this time around, along with Jordan, who has no reason to try hard with Laurel already having won.  Portland actually looked halfway decent in a competition for the first time as he competed with a claustrophobic Zach.  Portland won if you can believe it, and the crazy part about that, is that he gets a say in the elimination.  Bananas, Cohutta, and CT finish, and Preston joins Leroy (who Teej was really upset with) and Jordan in The Draw.

The Vote/The Draw

Laurel was thinking to pick her usual suspects (Aneesa/Theresa), and Portland was thinking to send in Bananas so that Jordan could go up against him in the elimination.  Aneesa obviously acted like a straight up trick and tried to defend herself, but it did not work at all.  Aneesa was due and finally made her way in.  Portland kept it 100 and sent in Bananas for the second time.  Jordan, please don’t ruin my team…As of this moment, his plan was to pull every card and force his way into an elimination with Bananas.  These guys’ ego’s are insane.

 In the draw, Nany was clear, which left us with Jordan.  Jordan PULLED ALL THREE CARDS!  He sent himself right into the elimination with his enemy.  Jonna drew the kill card, which basically sent her home.

Elimination #7: Wrecking Wall

Jonna V. Aneesa: Jonna’s done this before but she’s also shitty as a mug, so I assumed that Aneesa would take it.  Assumption: proven.

Jordan V. Bananas: This has been my dream competition for maybe my whole life?  They were neck and neck the whole time, but at the end of the day Jordan fucked up and Bananas won it.

Men’s Rankings

1. C.T

Russ:  When everyone else laughs about Jordan voting himself in its like KINDA funny, but when CT does it, its awesome. 

2. Zach

Russ: His performances as of late are starting to remind me why this guy is a force in the game.  I would love to see an elimination challenge with him and CT

3.Leroy

Russ:  Nailing the strategy this season.  If ya aint gonna win, send ya ass to the Draw.  Why bother making the enemies, ya heard?

4. Cohutta

Russ: I think Cohutta is a lock for the finals.  I just don’t see anyone voting this guy in, and he’s always going to compete hard enough for you to respect him, and be quiet enough for you to forget he’s a threat. 

5. Bananas

Russ:  This guy is NEVER gonna shut up now. 

6. Johnny (Portland)

Russ: I know you won, but I’m still not impressed you were good at organized “ROFL-ing”

7. Preston

Russ: Sorry buddy, but you’re back at the bottom. 

 

Women’s Rankings

1. Laurel

Russ: Hell hath no fury like a Laurel scorned.  Now that Jordan is gone, I expect her to play at a whole-new Emily-like level.  watch out. 

2. Cara Maria

Russ: I take back everything I usually say shitty about you.  You are now a first round draft pick.  Take note. 

3. Theresa

Russ:  The target you put on your back: be prepared for that to come right for you. 

4. Nany

Russ: I’m conflicted that you are technically the median in terms of talent on the ladies end.  I feel like anytime I think you might be able to rise above, you do the opposite.  Clock’s ticking…

5. Devyn

Russ:  I think you should play as close to Laurel as possible and get the hell away from Theresa the future dumpster fire. 

6. Jessica

Russ: Must be so happy Jordan is gone, so she can shit-talk him next week and get some screentime.  

7. Aneesa

Russ: You beat the only person you were better than.  Don’t get gassed up son. You also have no real allies other Theresa. 

 

GOODBYE LOSERS:

1. Jonna

Russ:  Interesting that the season where you eff the fewest dudes, is also the season you are least on-screen or impressive in any conceivable way. 

2. Jordan

Russ: If its one less Jordan will never learn, it’s hubris.  Thanks for potentially submarining my team. 

I can’t submit this recap without a mention of the fact that Jordan, like an idiot made the worst decision I think I’ve ever seen in any reality show, by forcing his way into the elimination and thinking it was a good idea.  Start playing the game son!

Next week should be a good one with a lot of fallout to address.
