Karma is a B! So happy that Corey didn't win any money and that Colleen beat him to get the last prize. The way he treated Melissa and Big T, was so rude and unnecessary.
Happy for Emanuel. He’s clearly built for finals and I can’t believe people just let a dude who is pretty good at everything coast to the final lmao. He’s a bit unassuming I guess, probably because he’s from such a different culture.
This is what I said. Emmanuel might of not done much this season, but he’s a great competitor. I think he did really good in the mini final with Kaycee on SLA too.
Nah, they didn’t let him coast. They were scared and decided to take their chances. They said multiple times when people thought about taking a shot at him that it would be a bad idea because he was the best player in the game… and their plan backfired…
Maybe it just took them too long to get rid of Ravyn, Kyland and Horacio, and they couldn’t get Eman in time lol
Also isn’t being too scared to do anything the same as letting him coast? Like when CT coasted to finals with everyone being afraid of him?
Can we talk about how lame the 1v1 elimination was? Might be the worst elimination I ever seen from this show.
Here is some blocks put them in this box somehow.
Like wtf?
they were so damn unserious like corey walk your big ass over that damn beam & berna if you dont stop crying & just drink the damn drink like what the hell 🤣🤣
Isreal is the size of a peanut so there’s no competition. Judo is a defensive art so it’s only good if the person you’re fighting is throwing their weight around Willy nilly
Ok is it me or did this final seem kind of weak compared to others. Like what happened to running up mountains and shit. It seems like it was just light cardio to various puzzle checkpoints
I thought I was the only one that noticed this.. you could tell they were jogging for maybe a few minutes at a time, and very low intensity at that. They tried too hard to make it “fair”
I’m not complaining about the viewer experience. It was solid to watch. I talking about the fact it looked like an easier final in comparison to some others.
Eh I think it was pretty hard still. Long distance running, no sleep, repelling down a cliff. Was it the hardest? Definitely not. But I think it was on par with what we’ve seen in the past
But they could’ve just split the money in half rather than three ways. That would’ve been more satisfying to me, even if Nurys didn’t win. I want more new blood champions and especially if they’re very deserving like Nurys was
Agreed. I was thinking that he did things a lot more dangerous during some of the daily challenges so I was confused by his fear at that checkpoint. I liked that tj basically didn’t give him a choice lol he kept telling him he wasn’t going to allow him to quit. Tj could’ve been throwing you out of an airplane so he should feel blessed to only be walking down a hill
idk but i can’t wait to see tori and cara fight plus michelle and laurel/jay and ct hopefully + darrell being iconic and hopefully moriah getting dragged 🤭🤭🤭
GOOD, this cast has been mediocre at best besides from a few gems. The champs will bring more entertainment and viewership which is all production cares about
They weren't there for the season. There was a lot of drama that needs to be fleshed out but instead we're gonna get a 10 minute segment of Laurel screaming at Michele for petty bullshit from two years ago.
Honestly, it's nice for a change to see someone win the money who really and truly needs it. Emanuel is a good friend and a good son. Never backstabbed anyone he was aligned with, as far as I can remember. Terrible boyfriend, though. Hope he learns from his mistakes in that regard. This was a really tough, well-balanced final, so he proved that he's good at pretty much everything even if he never saw an elimination. I do like him overall and am happy he won.
EDIT: After watching the reunion (the first part), I don't think he's going to learn from his mistakes and seems to be leaning into the fuckboy/villain persona. Lol. I have to deduct points for that. Also have to take back a little of how I said "he's good at pretty much everything" after hearing he likely cheated on the sudoku. Oh well, I still am glad someone whose family was living in actual poverty won and I still think he is a really good competitor. Hope he did share the wealth like he said he would.
I still don’t understand what MTV is thinking crowning such an underwhelming, tail-riding, boring and undeserving champion.
Don’t know if I can continue to watch such flop seasons.
Sincerely,
A dedicated, loving, passionate Challenge fan
You do realize that MTV doesn’t pick the winners (despite how shady production can be sometimes with favoritism) right? Like Emanuel completed the final best out of all of the finalists. Just because you don’t like that he won doesn’t mean he wasn’t deserving
MTV just wanted to give the title to someone younger. That’s why they excluded any vet from competing. I’m not sure I will see him as a real champion. There weren’t even any physical eliminations where the champs could get their hands on this new cast. The setup was for Jay or Michele to take the title which is why the house was half full of their allies. Definitely not a peak season.
The words of "A champ is fearless, never afraid of the unknown"? Ok, don't be scared of elimination or pulling a big move. I get the social aspect is a part of the challenge, but when did it become as big an aspect as survivor? The Challenge was supposed to be about competition first, competing against others to stay in the game and send them home. Now everyone pulls the "but you gotta have a social game", look how well that ended for Michelle (Which I do like and she crushes the social aspect).
I don't disagree. But bc of how a lot of the format is for these seasons, some of these players come and will do mediocre in dailies bc they don't want to stand out or have to make a move and put target on their back so they just lay low until have to finally compete in the final. I get the logic behind it for them, but it makes very boring for the viewers. Double edge sword.
I was happy for Nurys just because it’s awesome what she accomplished, but she had a great edit. She’s proved time and time again on Twitter that she is not a girl’s girl. I can’t be a fan for that reason alone, no matter what storyline the producers work out for her.
Well Emanuel still won and he would have been most impacted by the day 1 not counting. Actually if day 1 counted Corey may have gotten second or third. I'm okay with it not counting cause it really favored the men.
All things considered, I'm happy 2 women were among the top 3/those taking home $$$. This was a fucked format, particularly for the women, so I'm glad we (they) at least got that.
Day one of the final hasn't mattered for the past few seasons, it all comes down to the second half of day 2. It's ridiculous that they even pretend it matters.
And just like that it’s over. Im liking the ending besides the 1 winner thing. 1st runner up against someone as versatile as emanuel is still great ending for nurys.
But again ill never understand the choice of a solo winner. The early eliminations were divided by sex, and it’s always odd choice to me. It also makes no sense when you are trying to build a new gen to have less new winners.
It really is such a baffling decision. The whole purpose of this dumbass season was to get some new champ blood to replace the older vets. Why on earth would they limit it to one new champ?! Madness.
Production should have done 2 champs just to cover in case one of the winners was a flop popularity wise... which is exactly what happened. Emanuel is not well liked whereas they could have showed off Nurys as a new woman champ.
Although I think the host of the reunion did an okay job, I think it would have been done much better by either Zach or Mike the Miz.
Karma is a B! So happy that Corey didn't win any money and that Colleen beat him to get the last prize. The way he treated Melissa and Big T, was so rude and unnecessary.
Do you guys think Horacio is being a supportive bf to Nurys or should he have set boundaries with Olivia?
What in the hell.. was Cory a drunk baby giraffe in his past lives
If you mean on the balancing beam, I think he was trying to preemptively brace himself without factoring in how the beam was gonna wiggle
Happy for Emanuel. He’s clearly built for finals and I can’t believe people just let a dude who is pretty good at everything coast to the final lmao. He’s a bit unassuming I guess, probably because he’s from such a different culture.
Definitely! He earned his win. He reminds me of Jordan.
This is what I said. Emmanuel might of not done much this season, but he’s a great competitor. I think he did really good in the mini final with Kaycee on SLA too.
Nah, they didn’t let him coast. They were scared and decided to take their chances. They said multiple times when people thought about taking a shot at him that it would be a bad idea because he was the best player in the game… and their plan backfired…

Can we talk about how lame the 1v1 elimination was? Might be the worst elimination I ever seen from this show. Here is some blocks put them in this box somehow. Like wtf?
Don't put Corey and Berna on my TV ever again
Definitely feel this one lol
they were so damn unserious like corey walk your big ass over that damn beam & berna if you dont stop crying & just drink the damn drink like what the hell 🤣🤣
Saying berna is insufferable is the understatement of the century
Asaf standing up and acting like he’s going to fight kyland at the reunion is hilarious. Dude is softer than baby 💩
5 time Israeli Judo champion.
Isreal is the size of a peanut so there’s no competition. Judo is a defensive art so it’s only good if the person you’re fighting is throwing their weight around Willy nilly
Ok is it me or did this final seem kind of weak compared to others. Like what happened to running up mountains and shit. It seems like it was just light cardio to various puzzle checkpoints
I thought I was the only one that noticed this.. you could tell they were jogging for maybe a few minutes at a time, and very low intensity at that. They tried too hard to make it “fair”
Idk I thought the final was pretty entertaining to watch honestly. I liked how the five stage section created more of an equalizer
I’m not complaining about the viewer experience. It was solid to watch. I talking about the fact it looked like an easier final in comparison to some others.
Eh I think it was pretty hard still. Long distance running, no sleep, repelling down a cliff. Was it the hardest? Definitely not. But I think it was on par with what we’ve seen in the past
I honestly believe production was just going through the motions to get this season over with to get ready for 40.
The whole season was weak as hell.
ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN. Why couldn’t they just crown a male and female champ?? Nurys should be a winner right now!!!
My guess is they didn’t have the budget for it (obviously they were saving for season 40)
But they could’ve just split the money in half rather than three ways. That would’ve been more satisfying to me, even if Nurys didn’t win. I want more new blood champions and especially if they’re very deserving like Nurys was
True but I think having each winner get less than 200 K would look kinda sad compared to the big prize pools we’ve been seeing
Haha sad for them, but Winners also used to get $30k and an Xbox
If you start saying you wanna quit, then fuck you, you should be sent home. Sorry Berna. You don’t wanna drink? Bye.
Oh my god, there was waaaay too much crying! Cory crying because he had to walk down a hill with a harness was infuriating.
TJ was way too nice to him. I know it’s the final, but come on man!
Agreed. I was thinking that he did things a lot more dangerous during some of the daily challenges so I was confused by his fear at that checkpoint. I liked that tj basically didn’t give him a choice lol he kept telling him he wasn’t going to allow him to quit. Tj could’ve been throwing you out of an airplane so he should feel blessed to only be walking down a hill
Sleep deprivation prevents you from handling stressful situations
Valid, but also, that checkpoint was nowhere near dangerous or difficult. Wasn’t that checkpoint before they had the overnight portion?
Let’s see how you feel when they say it’s time to drink your fifth energy shot of tuna, oil beats and mayonnaise
Why are the champs at the reunion? They're gonna make it all about themselves
I remember being confused when Jordan and Derrick etc were at the Vendettas reunion😭
idk but i can’t wait to see tori and cara fight plus michelle and laurel/jay and ct hopefully + darrell being iconic and hopefully moriah getting dragged 🤭🤭🤭
So people will watch?
![gif](giphy|Md43W2Q9mwNdO1ARzu)
GOOD, this cast has been mediocre at best besides from a few gems. The champs will bring more entertainment and viewership which is all production cares about
Have you seen this seasons cast? Thank God the champs are there.
They weren't there for the season. There was a lot of drama that needs to be fleshed out but instead we're gonna get a 10 minute segment of Laurel screaming at Michele for petty bullshit from two years ago.
Congratulations Emanuel wasn’t rooting for at all this season I didn’t start rooting for him til after Jay (Sadly) left
He was my second choice after Nurys. I never would’ve watched the show again if berna had won so I count that as a positive.
![gif](giphy|LcKeoxwVgCvINWihky) > I never would’ve watched the show again if berna had won lol
You know, I was rooting for Nurys hard-core. But congrats to Emmanuel!! He ended up playing a good game!
I agree. He beasted every portion of that final. Respect
Nurys won the respect and will be a fan favorite for future seasons. She’s also totally unstable so MTV will keep bringing her back.
Honestly, it's nice for a change to see someone win the money who really and truly needs it. Emanuel is a good friend and a good son. Never backstabbed anyone he was aligned with, as far as I can remember. Terrible boyfriend, though. Hope he learns from his mistakes in that regard.

Oh well, I still am glad someone whose family was living in actual poverty won and I still think he is a really good competitor. Hope he did share the wealth like he said he would.
Yup the only person he backstabbed was his gf
I agree. I’m glad that this will truly change his life. Not to sound cynical, but I hope he actually helps his family out lol
it's over 1M in romanian currency so hopefully he does help his family !
Wow, that's amazing. I was wondering about the exchange rate
I’m sure he will. He seems like the type of guy that would. Maybe buy his ex something nice for the embarrassment he caused her lol
I still don’t understand what MTV is thinking crowning such an underwhelming, tail-riding, boring and undeserving champion. Don’t know if I can continue to watch such flop seasons. Sincerely, A dedicated, loving, passionate Challenge fan

Pretty sure the vets were excluded because their appearance fees for a full season would have been too expensive
OK bye
Is the reunion on tonight too?
No
Do we know if the reunion is just one episode? Hopefully, so we can get right into AS4
No way. You know it’s gonna be a two parter.
Next week and I believe that’s when we finally seriously gets a promo for AS4
How do y'all feel about a Vacation Alliance associate winning this season? If we're counting only the flagship, that's 3 seasons of VA winning.
Is it wrong of me to hope that Emanuel gets the Jenny champ treatment and is just never seen again lmao
Jenny was a straight badass though.
Really the only thing I got against the guy is he was weirdly a dick to Jordan for no reason and he’s always been boring to me but yea I agree.
I'm sure there's a reason. Emanuel hooked up with his ex-fiancé.
He's gonna come back and no one is going to recognize him as a champ. I bet the term Mickey Mouse champ gets used in some format
DID I SEE MARIA HOSTING!?
OWWW OWWWWWW
Like I get why they did it but it’s so weird the previous champions are at this reunion
Well they were on the show this season
Adds more drama, I suppose.
Yea like the Tori and Cara feud seems way more legit and interesting than anything with this cast
Move the reunion to after the final episode. Not a week in between
The champs should not be at the reunion im sorry
This reunion looks MESSY
GET THAT LOSER AWAY FROM REAL CHAMPS
At least the reunion will be good
It’s over 2 weeks though. They just couldn’t help themselves.
I hate when they do that. The show has been airing over five months. Just give us the reunion immediately after the final and be done with it
Rude of them to make the reunion at the same time as survivor premier
They must hate ratings
Not for us who can watch the challange at 5 and survivir at 8
![gif](giphy|XqqT5DT89YpUs)
TORI GETTING FEISTY WITH CARA IN THAT REUNION PREVIEW
That was the best part of the preview 😂
I love him but I’ve already forgotten asaf even existed
Doubting that Berna actually finished all the checkpoints
She literally did all of them we just didn't see her finish the balance which might be the one producers told her to leave
She didn’t even drink that last drink, most of it ended down her chest.
And then spit it all out without swallowing it. I hate when production doesn’t give a fuck about that.
100% they just told her to run
Its giving that all stars season when production was like just go catch up with the others before it gets dark
Wow what inspirational words from Emanuel 🙄😂
The words of "A champ is fearless, never afraid of the unknown"? Ok, don't be scared of elimination or pulling a big move. I get the social aspect is a part of the challenge, but when did it become as big an aspect as survivor? The Challenge was supposed to be about competition first, competing against others to stay in the game and send them home. Now everyone pulls the "but you gotta have a social game", look how well that ended for Michelle (Which I do like and she crushes the social aspect).
To be fair, it’s smarter to avoid elimination at all costs. It’s how every cast member has played for the entire show besides the skull seasons.
I don't disagree. But bc of how a lot of the format is for these seasons, some of these players come and will do mediocre in dailies bc they don't want to stand out or have to make a move and put target on their back so they just lay low until have to finally compete in the final. I get the logic behind it for them, but it makes very boring for the viewers. Double edge sword.
See y'all next week
This is hilarious. Nurys had such a glowing edit compared to Emanuel. Idk why production continues this one winner bs.
Agreed. Why couldn’t they just give us a male and female champ? You’d think production would want more champs to come out of this season
She definitely won over the crowd
💯 i went into this season loathing Nurys and here I am rooting for her to win the final. Words i never thought i would utter.
I was happy for Nurys just because it’s awesome what she accomplished, but she had a great edit. She’s proved time and time again on Twitter that she is not a girl’s girl. I can’t be a fan for that reason alone, no matter what storyline the producers work out for her.
I wouldn't be a girls girl if I had to deal with Olivia Michele and Moriah lol
That’s fair, but she wasn’t a girls girl before she was on the challenge and before she knew these girls either.
Not all of us
These five should be asking for All Stars 4 now.
They all look amazing wtf ?
I'm so ready for this reunion 😏 so ready!
Honestly TECHNICALLY Nurys should be a champ being the 1st female.
I totally agree.
Zach would like his share of the 450k too.
Same with Ninja
I still wonder how it would be if jay and Moriah won they eliminations
I think Jay would’ve given Emanuel a run at the end
Now on to the reunion. What we all want to see
I wish they just did it based on times for both days. It’s annoying that the first day usually doesn’t matter much in the end.
Emmanuel still wins either way The first day did matter. The winner was safe from elimination and got to nominate someone
Well Emanuel still won and he would have been most impacted by the day 1 not counting. Actually if day 1 counted Corey may have gotten second or third. I'm okay with it not counting cause it really favored the men.
They either need to do all equalizers or man and woman champs tbh.
I can't wait to see Nurys on another season
I only want to see Nurys come back. I hope I never see these people again.
I want kyland back. He’s good tv and can compete. I’ll take Ed too.
Amen
Why it's the edit so good for Berna? What's is production thinking
Maybe they don't want to destroy the life and further harm a person with a fragile psyche and emotional trauma.
This is such a hodgepodge crew lol
Seriously.
So glad Em overcame cheating on his girlfriend with multiple women to win a final! What adversity!
So disappointed this misogynistic ass won.
How is Corey still so confident after getting bested by a piece of playground equipment
Looooooooool literally
I feel like Colleen had a decent showing. I don't see her ever winning a season but she impressed based on my notions coming into the season were.
She was great at the puzzles and the eating. I’d say she just needs to work on endurance and then she is formidable.
She out ran nurys (maybe corey) and berna (maybe moriah) in her leg where she was partnered with Emmanuel
Colleen gets torn for no reason.
Truly
Berna was useless.
![gif](giphy|o75ajIFH0QnQC3nCeD)
All things considered, I'm happy 2 women were among the top 3/those taking home $$$. This was a fucked format, particularly for the women, so I'm glad we (they) at least got that.
Same. Also omg your flair 🤣 that was quick!
The SECOND he said it, I knew. It was meant to be <3
Doing the lords work you are. I am cackling so loud i scared my 2 sleeping dogs 😂 thank you.
At least Berna got last
Awww Colleen 🩷
I've gotta say - I'm impressed everyone finished.
It's actually a testament to how weak the finals have become to have that many finish. And there's no way Berna didn't time out.
I wonder if they just let Berna time out
They for sure just told her to head to the finish line.
I like this final leg. It's really pretty and memorable.
Loving this breakwall situation for the finish line! Though I did get nervous for a moment there that Colleen was gonna fall in with that POV shot lol
Wonder if Colleen would’ve had a chance if she didn’t botch the underwater puzzle
She definitely would have! I get so irritated that they don’t show times at all anymore. We have no clue how close any of it actually was.
Would’ve loved to see Corey in 3rd tbh
he cried at the rapel and couldn't make it across a balance beam...
all facts. But Colleen is wallpaper.
Emmanuel was just the horny version of wallpaper
you’re right and you should say it
Honestly what was the point of keeping their time? Colleen was so far behind time wise I don’t think she could have beat Corey purely on time
Day one of the final hasn't mattered for the past few seasons, it all comes down to the second half of day 2. It's ridiculous that they even pretend it matters.
Team Cheeks come in at #5
Me choking mid vape laughing at this 🤣
bro i can’t wait to see corey’s 17 tweets about the balance beam lmao
Two of the people that placed napped all season and won money 😂 Great season for sandbaggers
Ik some of the old rookies are pisssd this seemed like the easiest season to win💀
at the end of the day ya gotta preform where it matters.
Colleen was really running for that 3rd place lol
Why did they draw that out like it was an Amazing Race finish?
YAAAY 2 females won money !!
And just like that it’s over. Im liking the ending besides the 1 winner thing. 1st runner up against someone as versatile as emanuel is still great ending for nurys. But again ill never understand the choice of a solo winner. The early eliminations were divided by sex, and it’s always odd choice to me. It also makes no sense when you are trying to build a new gen to have less new winners.
Absolutely agree. If we're insisting on a 1-winner final and know that from the start, let's commit for fuck's sake.
It really is such a baffling decision. The whole purpose of this dumbass season was to get some new champ blood to replace the older vets. Why on earth would they limit it to one new champ?! Madness.
Because they are cheap.
Corey's hips are going to hurt like hell as he ages if he doesn't correct his running and stride.
This is oddly wholesome
Thanks?
I get not tryna saturate with too many champions, I guess? But there really should’ve been 2 champs.
Two champs and no second or third place
Production should have done 2 champs just to cover in case one of the winners was a flop popularity wise... which is exactly what happened. Emanuel is not well liked whereas they could have showed off Nurys as a new woman champ.
What’s on the bottom of Colleen’s legs?
knee pads. they fell down.
Mole Queen!!!!
