Weve officially made it to the midpoint of the season!
Maybe Im being a little too tough on our players.
Nevertheless, I refuse to be CIA-pilled by TJ Lavin.
Meanwhile, Nany and Kam are discussing what to do with Theresa.
Next, its trivia time, brought to us this week by Burger King but really mass surveillance.
This mission is actually called Interrogation and is apparently tortured-themed??
Typically, trivia challenges dont require the competitors to do anything but sit or stand above water.
(If theres one thing Aneesa does consistently on this show, its relate TO ME.)
The interrogation is split into two heats.
Like I said before, Aneesa drops first.
(This side of Aneesa thats desperate for a mans approval is NOT relatable to me).
None of the players are exactlynailingthese questions.
But Kaycee comes out looking like the biggest fool because she thinks wolvesyes,wolvesare vegetarians.
It ultimately comes down to Darrell and Devin, but Darrell is able to hold on longer.
He still has to jump into the water after he wins, which seems unfair.
In the next heat, Big T falls first and gets a round of applause just for participating.
This round ultimately comes down to Kam, Nam, and Fessy.
She outlasts Fessy but illegally grabs the sides of the rail multiple times and gets disqualified.
Its a strong showing for Nam two weeks in a row.
Darrell and Amber B. end up answering the most questions correctly and get their first win.
They each receive $5,000 from Burger King and VIP cards worth unlimited Whoppers.
Darrell, didnt you see what happened to Jay when he let his partner completely take the reins?
Fortunately, for him, Amber B. is pretty pragmatic (boring) with power.
Shes ready to get her skull if she thinks the elimination is something she can do.
If not, shell let herBig Brotherally Kaycee get hers.
Theresa will most likely be the house vote because Amber M. is rogue.
Next, its time for deliberation, and everyone is eerily quiet.
If Theresa had a little less pride, she would be convincing the house not to vote for her.
Leroy is wondering why the women arent fighting to get their skulls at the Crater.
I feel like Leroy is always scolding everyone at these meetings.
Are the producers instructing him to do this?
He cantreallycare whether or not Gabby wants to get a skull.
Speaking of Lolo, we see Aneesa vote for her because she wants to get her skull.
Im starting to think I only really relate to Aneesa body-wise.
At the Chamber, we find out Theresa and Cory are the nearly unanimous house vote.
I cant listen to Amber B. repeat her strategy anymore in this episode because shes so goddamn boring.
Its a variation of the previously seen Operation Snapping Point.
The first one was a basic game of tug-of-war.
Theres a bunch of slo-mo shots and an acoustic cover of Take On Me that I found exasperating.
The 80s pop soundtrack this season is so basic!
She ends up winning in what was ultimately a pretty compelling elimination, and theBig Brotheralliance has three skulls.
Theresa going home makes me genuinely sad because shes one of the rare dynamic competitors on this show.
But the cards were stacked against her from the beginning.
