Can someone hey explain why were doing the skull thing again?
I thought the producers mightve workshopped this part of the game after last season, but I guess not.
How exactly is this heightening the stakes of the competition?
The math just isnt right with this one.
From the first five minutes, we know that Lolo is about to break.
Nam cant wrap his brain around making decisions with another person.
He also doesnt think he can be used by the veterans.
Im assuming the producers arent filling them in on everything just yet.
But nevertheless, their anxiety about the skulls turns out to be a waste of story.
This week, were playing the poorly named All Brawl, which has multiple phases.
Oh, how Ive missed multi-phase challenges!
(Kam won the first heat.)
Did Aneesa touch Lolos neck as she was pulling her out of the way to get to the relic?
Was she holding her long enough or with enough force that she was impeding her ability to breathe?
He wins for him and Lolo, but Lolo still looks like someone just murdered her family.
Theresa tries to do the same thing in the next womens heat.
But she has this crazy Cheshire Cat smile on her face that gives her away.
Aneesa says that she should never play poker.
Gabby ends up grabbing the relic and wins.
For the last guys heat, CT comes out victorious.
But now, the winners of the first round have to go against each other in the same challenge.
And Kam steals the relic from Gabby in what feels like five seconds.
The third and final phase gets a lot more interesting because now CT and Kams partners are involved.
And who can really be upset about that?
Back at that house, Lolos going on and on about how Aneesa choked her to everyone.
Kyle tells Lolo that he doesnt think Aneesa grabbing her was some wild conspiracy against her.
Aneesa says shell talk to Lolo once she has cooled down.
Lets see how far playing nice gets you this season.
But Kam doesnt want theBig Brotherfaction of the house to retaliate against her if they come back.
Right now, Amber M. and Mechie and Nany and Josh are seemingly the best options.
Next, we have yet another sober club scene.
Nothing notable takes place except that Big T apologizes to CT for being an awful partner.
Josh and Nany talk about how theyre ready to go into the Crater.
Amber M. says the exact same thing with a serious face.
CT cannot believe these young people.
See how this skull component is completely falling apart?
We just see both of them squealing with excitement once its revealed.
Side note: Kam and Kyle have such good chemistry.
Im glad the producers re-edited this because the Chamber has been removing an element of surprise this entire season.
And its honestly not that exciting to watch in the first place.
I wanted to reach through my television and feel her back for evidence of a spine.
And Josh and Nany get voted in by Kyle and Kam, which theyre both happy about.
He goes on to pull the cart filled with weighted balls with an equal amount of speed.
Mechie is still struggling to finish this skull puzzle that has maybe ten pieces at the most.
But hes throwing these balls one after the other, and nothing is breaking.
I was expecting one to bounce off the window and hit him in the head.
Everyone cheers for Josh like a baby who just took its first steps.
I honestly left this episode most interested in how the rest of the season will shake out for Lolo.
After this episode, Im not sure she has the emotional threshold to lose one more mission.
And Im ready for someone who isnt Josh to go completely bananas on the house.
