At the end of the day, Jemmye is always gonna have Mamas back.

So I can appreciate her new role as a purported mastermind/audience surrogate even if it has no merit.

I will report back next week!

Our challenge this week wasnt my fave.

In this virus-ridden climate, I would simply have to forfeit.

We get a glimpse of how irritating Big Easy can be when hes frustrated.

Its not a good look considering that he doesnt seem to be contributing much.

Its also ridiculous how long it takes every group to get the order of the seasons correct.

The Copper team ends up coming in last, which means Nehemiah is automatically going into the Arena.

Big Easy gives him an oddly long shoulder rub as he receives this news.

Darrell, the teams captain, is safe from elimination.

This is where Jemmye is a useful voice of reason in her confessionals.

Nothing is brave about volunteering for an elimination when you know everyone was planning to vote for you anyway.

I personally wouldnt want to experience that either, but why is everyone high-fiving this man??

Next, everyone heads out to a club-lodge-cabin thingy that genuinely looks like a good time.

A lot more fun than the sterile, sober Epcot Center the youngsters are partying at on theregularChallenge.

And if the elimination is a headbanger, Big Easy would obviously win.

Back at the house, Ruthie walks in on Aneesa talking shit about her.

Ruthies had enough and starts calling Aneesa a bitch, which I think is fair.

I was hoping this environment would bring back a glimmer of the old Aneesa, but I guess not.

In the other quarters of the house, Jemmye and Nehemiah are having sex.

(I promise those are all my thoughts aboutthat.

)I just didnt imagine it would be Jemmye, but good for her, I guess.

At the Arena, everything plays out in the most predictable fashion.

Teck and Nehemiah play a game with the abysmal title Going Out of Tile.

After theyre done, they have to race back to the circle of rope they started in.

Its random and an odd start to an elimination thats entirely physical and goes by incredibly fast.

Nehemiah makes it back to the starting line a couple of seconds before Teck.

Its close enough that TJ says that Teck is still a badass when he sends him off.

Overall, we had another well-rounded, solid episode despite a weekly challenge that was justmeh.

There seems to be enough drama and story among this group of competitors.

I can only imagine this season getting better and better.
