Like when Ashley lost her luggage at the airport and just couldnt go on?

Or when Tina hit Beth with the worlds weakest punch?

Or, as I mentionedlast week, when Cory body-slammed Tony for tossing his leftovers out a bus window?

So far this season, four yes, four!

Right after Lio reveals this, we see the inevitable shot of his luggage on the floor.

Okay, Idefinitelyshed a tear during that uncharacteristically compassionate moment.

and Aneesa and Fessy would do in a final, and the answer is BAD.

This mission doesnt come with a lot of surprises.

Devin and Gabby, now new partners, do just okay.

Lolo and Nam cant find a way to hold their cylinder properly.

I think part of the challenge is that theres literally no way to hold it in a comfortable position.

But Lolo starts freaking out, and Nam cant communicate with her effectively.

Meanwhile, Aneesa seems very content being in last place with Fessy.

Back at the house, Ashley asks Theresa where her heads at.

For the love of God, Ashley, just assume youre going in!

But Ashley seems to accept her word as bond.

Meanwhile, Lolo is on the verge of tears trying to talk to Nam about their communication issues.

Of course, I believe performing well is important to Lolo; shes an Olympian, after all.

But the tone of this argument is justwaytoo serious when theyre still considered a threatening team.

Next, we move on to the club, where nothing exciting is happening.

But now everyone is either in their 30s or has a child at home.

Meanwhile, Jay tells Kyle hes not sending him in.

When everyone gets back to the house, Fessy tries to flirt with Gabbyagain.

The thing is, everyone knows all this.

They knew it the first time they voted her in on WEEK ONE.

Just start packing your bags!

In the Chamber, Theresa and Jay find out the majority of the house voted for Ashley.

I love that theyre surprised they were able to accomplish this.

Kam is almost eerily calm while Ashley is still going on about how she was lied to.

Ashley does a terrible job the entire game.

Shes so angry and unfocused she ends up dropping two of her rings.

Meanwhile, Kam looks like Mary Martin pointing her toes and gliding effortlessly through the air.

She may as well break out in song.

Kam ultimately beats Ashley with a level of grace and reserve reminiscent of Beyonce accepting an award.

TJ announces that this is Ashleyssecondtime going home this season because he loves being shady.

Ashley is telling Kam she wants her to beat Theresas ass.

Everyone is just performing at this point!

Kam decides to keep Kyle as her partner, which he seems almost teary-eyed about.

Im praying he does because I want Kam and Leroy to thrive in this competition together.

But this is also Leroy were talking about.
