ep 8
1. What were your thoughts on the twist with the final 3? Was it fair or should it have stayed the same?
I liked the twist!! It made the challenge really interesting IMO. 0range did better and Blue did worse than I expected.
2. Was Gray (reaction) justified in their reaction?
I do think they were. Noah fence but you were unclear in your instructions! It sounded like you told the teams to drop off and you were gonna do a different challenge.
3. Did the winners have a good reason to send who they did? Should they have taken time to strategize?
I think that was a fair reason. I think Yellow and Blue were on opposite alliances anyway.
4. Did they deserve to go home?
Tbh, I would've liked to have seen Brown go home. They're kind of like Brown E3... kinda just there for the ride. Blue staying in the game would've been much more interesting as they had some strategy and they also were able to win missions.

It sounded like you told the teams to drop off and you were gonna do a different challenge. None taken!! Nobody has really explained to me why what I said was confusing. I actually talked to Jalin about it a couple days ago and she's still upset about it! xD Anyway, thanks for the clarification! It makes much more sense now than it did awhile back. It's cause you said it so suddenly and quickly and I know you were trying to make it more like a twist or whatnot but it wasn't very clear. Also, you implied that this challenge became indecent/dirty so it sounded like you were telling them to stop altogether. I sympathize with Jalin! Lol |

"I just love everyone here, and I hope there's not too much drama" I love that take Abbey! She'd be a great player on real Endurance. Athletic but smart and friendly.
Audrey in the missions is so funny. I'm starting to love her lol
Zion letting Green win. I LOVE THAT GRAY HAS STRATEGY. Also Green <3 I kinda feel like they play a similar role to Purple E3. Pretty strong in the missions but not necessarily a top team, both pretty chill with strong friendships that help them get through the game, not dramatic and don't get the most screentime but still extremely likable. Down to Kiersten being like "When they had one triangle..." *flashbacks to Sarah "I won the thingy!!"*
Okay Zion is a little strategic master... I see him.
1. Any surprises about the leaderboard? Or, is it more so expected?
Orange isn't the most commanding team but they are likable and cause no waves, so I can see why they've been gifted their pieces. I did think Purple would do better than they are, though.
2. Did Abbey have a point about 'being the new threat'?
Yes, Yellow is intimidating. Mostly Abbey, lol, I think she's by far the most physical girl.
3. Helaman wants Tyler out. Do you agree with him? Or does it seem confusing?
I'm NOT gonna lie... I'm drinking rn and I'm also catching up on this show... LMAO. So the whole episode was a little confusing to me.
4. Do you approve or disapprove of the strategy of the teams in the challenge? (What was Audrey thinking?!)
Teaming up was the way to go, so good on Green and Gray. And, hey, Audrey was the last one standing besides Green/Gray so good on her for trying so hard! It's so interesting to see the ways that people think when on "reality shows". Like, I would never have the logic that she did - she thought Purple deserved to win because they only had one piece but didn't want to target them so she stayed away from them. That would NEVER cross my mind. So it's interesting to see what tactics people take.
5. Jenna says they don't have alliances. Helaman wants to 'give the win' to Purple. Will this divide their team?
They don't seem to be on the same page regarding alliances... but I feel like Jenna will just give in to Helaman, tbh.
6. What do you think of 'Statistic Time' with Zion? Is he right?
See question 3
7. Did the right team get the samadhi?
I mean... for Green, I think? Purple and Yellow are aligned against them, right?
8. Probably the most important question: Who are you rooting for and has it changed?
Green!! I love them! Orange is funny, too. Yellow and Purple are a good alliance, but I agree with kwdrewfan that Purple has kinda been lurking in the shadows. I need to see more of them. Brown has grown on me this episode but I'm not sold on them. Gray is an interesting team to watch but I don't want them to win.

Just wanted to add that I don't exactly want Gray to win, either, but I want them to make it really far because I respect their strategic gameplay & they're super interesting to watch!  I knew they would be from South Jordan, but they got booted so early on that we didn't really get to see it, so I love watching them thrive in this season. I also agree with you 100% on Abbey, I think she makes for a great Endurance player. |

1. My favorite part of this episode is the conversation between Purple, Yellow, and Brown after Gray leaves to hug Green. Do you think what they have to say is accurate?
From what I could hear: I definitely do not think that Green or Gray would send both Yellow & Purple. I think it would be Brown & either Yellow or Purple, but probably Purple.
2. So, the line is drawn. Can you tell me where each team stands?
When did Yellow randomly join up with Green/Gray??? Like what? Lol I was so surprised at that, I thought they were solid with Purple/Brown. So I guess now it's Green/Gray, Purple/Brown and Yellow may be somewhere in the middle? But according to Jenna, Purple/Brown probably isn't that strong, either... so maybe it's come back around to Yellow/Purple. Who knows anymore!
3. Does Carter have a right to be upset? Maybe he's overreacting?
Yeah... a lot of actual Endurance contestants struggled with this mindset as well. But I need to say it: not doing anything WRONG to a team isn't what gets you their pieces, you have to do something RIGHT by them. A team won't just give you their pieces because you were nice. You have to have stood out in some way among all the other teams.
4. Is Amanda right about who the strongest team is?
I liked hearing her thoughts!!! It's great that she feels so confident in her partnership! Love that. Teamwork is definitely just as important as physical strength, if not moreso, when it comes to Endurance, so I can agree with her there.
5. So I know I might have gotten some hopes up when I said, "Leap of Fate" but, I felt it was a nice callback. Thoughts on the challenge?
I liked it! I thought it was a similar enough challenge to warrant calling it "Leap of Fate".
6. Should Zion have gotten that 2nd chance, or should he have been eliminated because Jenna only got 1 shot?
I think the only reason Zion got one and Jenna didn't is because Zion is ballsy and actually requested it lol. It was pretty unfair to Jenna, I think. Ultimately, though, Zion lost his round & wasn't the one who won for Gray team, so as an individual it didn't really give him an advantage.
7. Helaman... that confessional was both confusing and endearing to me. Thoughts?
LOL I LOVED THAT CONFESSIONAL! Helaman has been confusing from the start but that was honestly on another level.
8. Did the samadhi go to the right team?
Yup, it's exactly what I would have done in their position
9. Ranking of teams or any other comments/questions.
1. Green
2. Gray
3. Purple
4. Yellow
5. Brown (but I RESPECT BOTH HELAMAN & JENNA FOR KILLING IT AS A SUCCESSFUL BROWN TEAM)
In a weird way I actually kinda like Gray better than Green (for their strats & how they play so hard), but Green has been my ride or die since day 1 & I could better visualize them winning!
I freaking loved
Helaman: I hate you.
Zion: DITTO, BROTHER!
*handshake and laughter*
xD I actually laughed out loud.
I'm really, really fond of this cast! Like seriously, they're all so great.

1. Kiersten's strategy: good gameplay or manipulative?
Nah man, that's quality gameplay. It still may not work, but it's definitely a good move.
2. Thoughts on teams working together during the challenge?
It was really interesting to see, though not a good move if you're trying to implement that^ good move. xD I'll be honest, it was really irritating to basically watch the teams just keep blindly guessing at the answer and being wrong over... and over... and over again. Made the conclusion quite anti-climactic (not your fault, Mats!). And were the Purple & Brown teams asleep during this mission? Lolol like where were they?
3. Did you want that team to win the Temple Mission? Or were you rooting for somebody else?
You already know that I like Gray!
4. The mysterious event was revealed after the challenge; how'd you feel about the team having to deal with it?
LMAO ANOTHER TOM/VANETTA BROWN TEAM??!!!!!! I'm DEAD. Jenna's fate was sealed at that point. She did amazing, though!! #JennaFan
5. Did you expect those teams to be sent considering the circumstances? Should there have been a bit of mercy?
Those are the teams I was expecting to be sent. As far as having mercy, I don't necessarily feel like that should be a factor in this case. Like in E3 - even though I preferred Tom over the Gray/Orange teams, it wouldn't have made sense for Purple to send Gray or Orange over Brown. So while it's a reeeeally unfortunate circumstance and I would be SUPER frustrated in that position, ultimately, it still has to be fair game.
6. Who did you want to come back from Temple, and why?
Purple, because even though Jenna was awesome (& Helaman), Brown was probably the bigger enemy of my bae teams. Plus, I like the way Purple talks about each other & their teamwork.
7. It's final four!! Who are you rooting for and why?
GRRAAAAYYY because STRATEGY and GREEEEENNN, ALSO because strategy.
RIP to another 5th place Brown team
And I must say, I am still 100% lost as far as Yellow team's standing. Kiersten's worried that Yellow is targeting Green, Zion says Yellow is aligned with Gray & Green, Yellow is working with Gray & Green in the mission, Yellow & Purple have been tight since day 1...? I don't get it. I'm so confused. Haha

Whaaaaat in the world??!!! Wow, that's wild! My former teenage crush just had a baby last month with his wife. Really freaky stuff to find out about haha Congratulations to both of them though, and I hope their futures are blessed with love and happiness. |

I knew they would be from South Jordan, but they got booted so early on that we didn't really get to see it, so I love watching them thrive in this season. I also agree with you 100% on Abbey, I think she makes for a great Endurance player.
