Im not sure if the producers love or hate Josh.
Maybe its a little bit of both, like most people who watch him on television.
Its typical of the show to manipulate the eliminations for story purposes or just to fuck with people.
So here we are!
CT couldnt be more excited to take out The Goof and selects Darrell to compete against Devin.
Maybe he and Darrell made some kind of deal that we missed.
Either way, were in for some good television.
The elimination is Dead Ringer a.k.a.
the Peter Pan challenge, which I absolutely love.
Devin and CT are two self-proclaimed puzzle people, and Josh is, again, a goof.
Darrell is a wild card because we mostly know him as a strength guy.
This is basically my Super Bowl.
Darrell and Devin are up first, and theyre performing equally well the entire time.
Mr. Cerebral, becomes the new Goof.
Next, its the event weve all been waiting for, although it starts off a little slow.
Josh isnt too far behind.
Now, we get into the drama that drives the rest of the episode.
Youd think Josh, taking yet another L, would be the most hurt person at this elimination.
Theres no, Im sorry, Big T, but … No, This is a really tough decision.
Big Ts mouth is agape, and so is mine.
Sorry, Nany, but its true.
Cory, our eternal rogue agent, picks Gabby, which is a choice I weirdly have faith in.
What Big T goes through over the span of five minutes in this episode is now my worst nightmare.
Darrell unsurprisingly decides to keep Amber B.
Back at the house, Nanys in shambles because her best friend is gone.
In the rookie bedroom, Big T is crying about the CT situation.
She says she feels like he completely betrayed her trust and that he made her feel like trash.
The next day, our competitors are given a fun day at a hot spring.
Are there any trampoline parks in this part of Iceland?
One of those art classes where you drink wine?
This has to be the end of the cold-weather locations.
We cant go on like this!
I just cant stand when skinny people with all the clothing options in the world wear hideous things.
CT orders Big T a glass of champagne, which Im pretty sure she couldve gotten for free anyway.
At the house, CT starts a bonfire for his conversation with Big T that inevitably goes horribly wrong.
Big T simply wants him to apologize for the manner in which he swapped her out at the Crater.
Nam is anticipating a diagnosis of whatevers going on with his back as they head into the next challenge.
But Im sad his experience was corrupted by a bad back AND Lolo Jones.
This is probably the most theatrical mission weve had yet.
Its called Survive the Night and takes place inside a dark warehouse.
The lights are flashing for dramatic effect.
