pitchslap, hmm. I can't imagine what is brewing. Ruby is poised to lose everything with their band of misfits, but maybe they'll be the underdog team to root for... ok just kidding. I couldn't even finish that with a straight face. Devin's team is comprised of the strongest players, a good mix of puzzlers and physical threats. OH maybe Cory and Nelson have to face off?!! I wish I could watch right now.

I have a meeting in 20 minutes, and I'm trying to be patient I'll watch after work and report back. I only hope no one is injured - or OMG TJ steps in and sends someone home!? GASP I'm intrigued.

I really like who went home but like CT said, that's what you get for being nice.

When will these fools get that?!! Hope to see him again. He was likable and a solid competitor. SHEESH. Unrelatedly, Kyle irritates me.

Oh I like Ed. You can't deny Kyle is good at that game though.

He’s able to hold on and use his long ass arms. I’ll never believe the eliminations aren’t set depending on who is going down. How had Kyle gotten so many pole wrestles?? The producers who adamantly deny it are full of shit.

I read somewhere that they didn't know what the elimination was before he called down Kyle. Basically saying it was a set up for Kyle.

But it showed the ring before he said anything didn't it? I guess anything could be added after production.

pitchslap, it would be in his best interest to remember this from here on out. “I can still be a nice guy, but I think you got to flip a switch when you enter the game and realize that these people can still be your friends, you can still have great relationships outside, but, like, if you’re playing the game, you’re playing to win $1 million and you’ve got to have almost two separate personalities. You can be Ed outside the show and then Ed in the show where I can be a little more sneaky and manipulative and ruthless, I guess you could say,” he said. “You’ve gotta fight dirty while you’re in there. As much as it might not be me, in the show, I think I’ve really got to be able to flip that switch and turn into somebody else, just for the time being to make it further in the game.” I do wish people would come in prepared, like at least watch a season or two, chat with ex-players, do SOMETHING that shows you're in it to win it and not just to show up as the new guy after the brass ring. Good gracious.

Well I don't think Ed would lie so it's weird when production does shit like this. The game would be good enough without all of their weird tactics, I don't know why they do it.

So, Ed refused to pick the other rookie leaving his choices as CT, Corey, Nelson or Kyle? Anybody in their right mind would pick Kyle any and all challenges, so I think it’s a bit of a moot point. Kyle <<< all other vets in a one-on-one comp. Even if production was 100% upfront about the type of comp, I think Kyle would have always been the choice.

tarheelmom, esp if he hadn't seen the other seasons. I have seen them but didn't remember that Kyle had won that elimination so many times. Ed had said he didn't want to pick his own teammate, so that really left Corey or Kyle. On the surface, I would probably pick Kyle over Corey, not knowing that he's randomly good at that. Corey seems more muscular, and he seems to be more invested in winning. I would have done the same thing in Ed's position

NamasteBirches, uh yeah he is. These cats are all bitter when they get called down into the lair because they're scared - and not for nothing, the competition could be anything and any one of them, vet or otherwise could have a terrible time of it. See also: Ashley's previous appearances in the lair, she hadn't won before and she's good at physical and mental games. Let's be real - Kyle would be the first one to put in a friend if it prolonged his game, and Ed really did make the best choice he could in the moment, which included not knowing what the frigging challenge was going to be.

I think they made the right choices with nominations last night; and if a team of 4 can take down the Emerald team, it's gonna be Sapphire. I mean they're saddled with Kyle, but he's got some fire; I need someone to wipe that smirk off of Devin's stupid face (not advocating violence, I mean competition/strategy wise), he's not the second coming of a Challenge icon.
CT's zingers last night were making me laugh. He remains the best.

I figure if anyone comes in here, they know info will be shared. So I say you don't have to spoiler.

I'm actually kind of over CT this season. KELLY! Haha. I get it, I've liked him forever. I just don't like the way he talks about the women he considers weak, like Big T or Amber. And the way he was hating on Kyle for playing a selfish game, while he is also playing a selfish game. Also this isn't his fault, but it annoys me that he's just going to skate to the final (and probably win) because everyone is too scared to take a shot.

But I mean he's a giant while also being really good at math and puzzles. It's hard to go against him confidentially
