I shouldnt have to spend my evenings rewatching entire seasons on Paramount+ to fact-check these claims on my own!

As alum Rachel Robinsontweetedlast week, the treatment of the shows female champs is becoming hard to watch.

Still, we dont see anyone else video-chatting with family, so it feels obviously purposeful.

Also, the inquiry of who or what are you competing for?

seems to be the only entry point for the producers to explore these cast members personalities lately.

kindly keep the weepy, inspirational shit onUndercover Bossand not one of the last peak-MTV-era programs.

All right, ViacomCBS?

For Diamond Dash, the players first have to race to a pile of rubble to retrieve a sledgehammer.

Then they have to enter their codes into a safe that holds a giant gem.

This challenge doesnt really get interesting until the last segment, when everyone starts creating teams.

Anyway, lets lay out the teams.

Then we have the Ruby Cell, a.k.a.

The Island Of Misfit Toys: Cory, Kyle, Priscilla, Emy, Big T, and Logan.

After TJ formally announces this change, they have to complete one more task as teams.

There are more pieces of concrete and sledgehammers, putting rubble onto a counter-weight system and retrieving another gem.

Blah, blah, blah.

Anyway, the Emerald Cell, which looks like the team to beat, wins.

I love watching Black women be pursued by fine people.

Also, anyone who has competed on this show for more than one season has screwed over someone.

So kindly give us a break!

We certainly didnt get this Devin last year when KamRoy was running the house just saying!

Anyway, the women politely plead their cases.

And the house votes for Priscilla.

Basically, the agency doesnt have any power they can utilize besides immunity.

Priscilla commits to her whole go-big-or-go-home schtick and chooses Ashley.

Thus far, this season has had some pretty gripping eliminations and surprising outcomes.

Yes, your legs are stronger than your arms, but they wear out eventually!

Its giving clown behavior, to say the least.

Anyway, after cementing her place in next seasons cast, Priscilla says her goodbyes.

Weve finally made it to the halfway point, guys.

Get ready for a never-ending series of Hall Brawls!
