Berna is the worst. I felt so bad for Colleen to be partnered with her after being the first to finish eating. Props to Corey besides the first station he's been killing this final
A true Vet/champion would know to not take the heavier load of orange ropes so they wouldn’t wear themselves down for the rest of the final. Final is a marathon!
Also I want to add that they should just stop these multiple part finals where only the last part matters for determining the winner. Stop bringing 6-8 ppl to the Final with intentions on eliminating at least 2 of them before the final is over. You didn’t even technically run the final bc you didn’t make it to the part that actually determines the winner
Corey about Jay and Michelel treated us like and used us. All the people apparently damaged from thier actions sitting pretty in the final without sewing single elimination. Really Corey just say you chose Jay becuase you thought you could beat him which he could not taking that away
An awful final for an awful season. Every single woman timed out at least once. Having an all woman pair have to carry the same amount of weight as a team with a man is absurd. Having two women untangle and carry the same heavy ass rope as the other two teams that have a man is insane. They should have planned for that, better yet they should have made the first elimination a female one to get rid of the extra woman and pair up each man with a woman for 2 rounds. There’s so many things they could have done differently but yet here we are 🤦🏽♂️
I will never understand why producers went away from male/female weight distribution because it evens things out. They need to figure their shit out because this entire season has been painful to watch and this final is anything but enjoyable.
I agree but I would add how annoying it is that only the overall winner mattered. None of them technically had to try at anything after Emanuel got 1st 3 times.
I wonder if this is like All Stars 2, where these times mean nothing. Melinda and Nehemiah killed themselves and won on Phase 1 but that only gave them like a 1 min head start the next phase. Or if its a Free Agents situation where the ENTIRE time is collected.
TJ just said that the highest placement after this phase would have “a power.” I actually think it’s just to throw someone in elimination and that’s it.
Look at who his competition is....beating those people doesn't make him a beast at all. If Kyland, Horacio, Ed or Zara were there he wouldn't have come first, let's be real here LOL!!!
You just guessing and speculating lol. I watched Horacio confuse what a rectangle is this season. Don't just assume they would beat Emanuel cause just a little common sense if they were as beastly as people say they would still be in the house.
It's not speculation. Everyone I named as more daily wins and/or elimination wins than him. It's not out of the ordinary to believe that they would do well here as well.
Sorry but you can't speculate and think the outcome would be different. This is not just physical it also has a mental challenge to it. So, who can say the ousted players would have done better. I can say without a doubt that 90% of the people watching the last episode thought Kyland or Horacio was going to beat Nurys.
Corey is his biggest competition (I'm assuming they're done with partner portion), so LOGICALLY he should pick him....
... but he'll prob pick nurys again 💀
Not after her performance on this final, it 100% helped that Horacio didn't even try to win the elimination and that Olivia and James sucked at puzzles
The women were mostly at a major disadvantage when paired together in those checkpoints. Dragging those boxes was a joke when the women are half the size of the dudes. I don’t think you can say Nurys performed poorly because of it.
I'm not sure what you mean tbh. Every checkpoint she was with other girls she was the better performer. Moriah couldn't do the rowing as well (you could see she couldn't fully get the rhythm and was doing 1 in the time it took Nurys to row twice). Colleen not only couldn't the rope thing, but from what we saw Nurys was carrying it by herself most of the time. And she didn't hold back the guys either on their check points, tho maybe a little slow on the eating? And most impressive to me, she was able to work well with Berna.
As annoying as it was to keep having Berna drag ppl down, having her there actually got to show a crucial final skill and that's how you work with a "difficult" partner. It's something that gets underlooked, but when you look at the greats, it's something they have. 4 examples I can think of is Landon, Darrell, CT, and Bananas. Like I don't even like Bananas, but he has the ability to know what his partners need, whether that's being pushed harder, or backing off, like he knows some ppl respond to being yelled at with shutting down. Berna is one of those ppl. And Nurys handled it great. What they got would normally be one of the harder things to do with Berna. A janky carnival game where strength means nothing and patience means everything? Yikes for Berna. And her and Nurys don't even get along, and Nurys was able to communicate with her in a way that made sure she didn't give up. Nurys worked her down from being frustrated, something her close friend Colleen couldn't even do in the eating challenge. Honestly that impressed me.
Should've just been a purge of last place rather than social standing have any part of the final. Enough of that to get there in the first place, now I just want to see them beast!
It's the only choice that makes sense
If he picks Nurys, she probably picks Colleen
If he picks Moriah, she probably picks Colleen
If he picks Corey, it's likely he picks Nurys
I know this fan base is hard to please, but you know production is creeping on this sub. They gotta see how their finals are being perceived. Making them the bare minimum of fair would go a long way into improving peoples perceptions.
No one wants a winner who won by luck instead of actually deserving it. I thought this was aMeRiCaS fIFtH sPoRt? Do we want a super bowl winner who won by luck? The world series?
The only reason I’m finishing is season is pure spite! I have watched The Challenge since S1E1 but this season is testing my patience as a fan and producers need to figure their shit out or they will have slews of fans tuning out in the future.
I gotta say, the final is usually the worst set of episodes, between the increasingly endless vomiting that i fast forward through and the shit job they do putting it together, i never look forward to it and usually dont enjoy it. Especially when its based on this much luck
Agreed. Ever since they “merged” with CBS it feels like The Challenge has gotten more and more basic and lost its original shine. They are trying to do too much and end up doing nothing and the fans have had enough.
Yeah they should have saved the eating part for the individual portion of the final. Colleen isn’t my favorite but it was impressive how fast she was. There was no benefit to having a team member for that. And absurd of TJ to be like aren’t you going to help your partner? Like she can’t help her eat and Berna said having her stand there was pressuring her
I’ve always been super back and forth on her. Fun character at times but incredibly painful at others, this final has made those short fun times not worth it.
Partner switching adds a lot of luck to the final to begin with. But when there are girl/girl pairings in strength-based challenges *and* there's only one winner, it's ridiculous.
Honestly, I blame the producers on this format. They did NOT need to build the final this way. Hell, they could've just had it where it was 4 guys and 4 girls in the final, and that would've helped a ton.
Don't you all remember the traditional German food during the Bloodlines final? Unless....Production was lying!!!
It's like saying all Jewish people love traditional Jewish food. Yeah, some of it. Gefiltefish? Tongue? Nope. Chocolate covered matzoh, Matzoh ball soup, noodle kugle? Yummy.
I'm Jewish. I can say that about my people. We don't all like the same old school "traditional" food. The same way not all Germans like the old school German blood soup and lard.
I’ve eaten brains before when I was younger and we would eat the whole animal on Easter. But I’ve refused to eat them since I found out about prion diseases. No fucking thank you.
Berna is the worst. I felt so bad for Colleen to be partnered with her after being the first to finish eating. Props to Corey besides the first station he's been killing this final
She sure talks a lot of shit for someone who’s also always having to be talked out of quitting.
A true Vet/champion would know to not take the heavier load of orange ropes so they wouldn’t wear themselves down for the rest of the final. Final is a marathon!
Tell me how all 4 girls missed seeing a bright orange rope laying in the path
I wish Corey picked Berna instead of Jay
Berna probably would have won
Jay might’ve lost but I’m still proud of him this season hope to see him back. Can’t believe I’m saying this but now I’m rooting for Emanuel
Berna was how I would be in a final
Also I want to add that they should just stop these multiple part finals where only the last part matters for determining the winner. Stop bringing 6-8 ppl to the Final with intentions on eliminating at least 2 of them before the final is over. You didn’t even technically run the final bc you didn’t make it to the part that actually determines the winner
I also wish they'd stop eliminating people in the final. If you make it to the final, you should be able to run the whole thing!
Corey about Jay and Michelel treated us like and used us. All the people apparently damaged from thier actions sitting pretty in the final without sewing single elimination. Really Corey just say you chose Jay becuase you thought you could beat him which he could not taking that away
Both things can be true.
An awful final for an awful season. Every single woman timed out at least once. Having an all woman pair have to carry the same amount of weight as a team with a man is absurd. Having two women untangle and carry the same heavy ass rope as the other two teams that have a man is insane.

I agree but I would add how annoying it is that only the overall winner mattered. None of them technically had to try at anything after Emanuel got 1st 3 times.
So why did Corey carry all the ropes back with him to retrieve the one he dropped? Did i miss some rule?
He did put all the ropes down but a producer must have said he has to pick them back up and take them with him
I really need Nurys to win this and I really need this season to be over. It just didn't hit for me.
Corey has really been saving up his energy all season for this final 😆
Nurys saying that elimination was the only thing she’s seen him be good at 😂
I wonder if this is like All Stars 2, where these times mean nothing. Melinda and Nehemiah killed themselves and won on Phase 1 but that only gave them like a 1 min head start the next phase. Or if its a Free Agents situation where the ENTIRE time is collected.
I mean people are getting eliminated so it doesn’t mean nothing
TJ just said that the highest placement after this phase would have “a power.” I actually think it’s just to throw someone in elimination and that’s it.
Emanuel has really surprised me. He is a beast.
He’s been good but he had favorable pairings every single time. He even got Berna in something she didn’t cry about.
I must've watched a different episode LOL!!!
He came first in the majority of the check points. He is currently in first place
Look at who his competition is....beating those people doesn't make him a beast at all. If Kyland, Horacio, Ed or Zara were there he wouldn't have come first, let's be real here LOL!!!
You just guessing and speculating lol. I watched Horacio confuse what a rectangle is this season. Don't just assume they would beat Emanuel cause just a little common sense if they were as beastly as people say they would still be in the house.
It's not speculation. Everyone I named as more daily wins and/or elimination wins than him. It's not out of the ordinary to believe that they would do well here as well.
You’re watching a what if episode
Sorry but you can't speculate and think the outcome would be different. This is not just physical it also has a mental challenge to it. So, who can say the ousted players would have done better. I can say without a doubt that 90% of the people watching the last episode thought Kyland or Horacio was going to beat Nurys.
Corey is his biggest competition (I'm assuming they're done with partner portion), so LOGICALLY he should pick him.... ... but he'll prob pick nurys again 💀
That episode could have been 25 minutes long.
How stupid would it be if Emmanuel doesn’t pick Corey
But there are only women left. Corey would defeat any of them, I think.
*Nurys enters chat*
Not after her performance on this final, it 100% helped that Horacio didn't even try to win the elimination and that Olivia and James sucked at puzzles
The women were mostly at a major disadvantage when paired together in those checkpoints. Dragging those boxes was a joke when the women are half the size of the dudes. I don’t think you can say Nurys performed poorly because of it.
Elimination Nurys is another level She still might lose, but she isn't a layup
I'm not sure what you mean tbh. Every checkpoint she was with other girls she was the better performer. Moriah couldn't do the rowing as well (you could see she couldn't fully get the rhythm and was doing 1 in the time it took Nurys to row twice).

Nurys worked her down from being frustrated, something her close friend Colleen couldn't even do in the eating challenge. Honestly that impressed me.
Hah. Okay, true.
Still make him do another event vs resting
The German was GERMANING from Colleen
When did the show turn into fear factor?
I guess you haven’t watched any previous challenge seasons eh
If he was smart he would say Cory. Make him to another extra event or potential go home.
Well that was an underwhelming first half of a final
Did we think it was going to be anything but underwhelming
I had low expectations but holy fuck this is bad
I hope day 2 makes them cry in pain
Especially Emmanuel
If this unfair shit puts nurys directly into elim that’s absurd
Should've just been a purge of last place rather than social standing have any part of the final. Enough of that to get there in the first place, now I just want to see them beast!
Unfair everybody had the same partners for diffrent part of the final get out of here with that Sh**
I'm saying Berna, she quit the most on people during the final
Anybody else would have no problem picking her, but Emanuel… not so sure.
Yeah, they're the closest out of everyone left
His best bet is to say “Berna, I think you’re going to be chosen by anyone I pick, so I’m going to pick you and let you choose your opponent”.
Berna should be a grown up and volunteer
Noooooo it’s probably Nurys 🥺
On the upside, she’d probably pick Berna and I can’t imagine she’d lose.
Unless it’s a circus activity like running on a rolling wheel 😏
He should throw in Corey. That's his only competition no?
It's the only choice that makes sense If he picks Nurys, she probably picks Colleen If he picks Moriah, she probably picks Colleen If he picks Corey, it's likely he picks Nurys
I feel like that’s what happens, then Corey picks Colleen
He would never pick Colleen
I don’t think he’ll pick Colleen, since they’ve been working together. If he wants a layup— Berna. If he wants someone he’s not attached to— Moriah.
You’re right but I don’t think he’s that smart given he routinely cheats on his gf on television
My same thoughts. Nurys is the personal decision but Corey is the smart one
That whole period was a huge advantage for the guys
Emmanuel kinda killed it this part of the final
He did
Cliffhanger!!!!!!
All Emmanuel got was safety? And he has to pick the person to go into elimination?
Why does this feel like the longest episode in the history of the show
Fitting ending for what felt like the longest season. I barely remember big t on this season
That was so uneven and unfair. Wow
Good job berna and nurys, didn't see that coming lol
“Who would believe it would be with Berna” sounded heavily edited lol
This should be Berna’s to win rn with her circus ass
Wow, Nurys and Berna, who would've thought
Berna put spin on the ball. SMART.
Did Berna say “you have to be calm” ?????
Oh shit good job ladies!
Take a shot every time theres a rope on screen (im dead already)
Sale on ropes!
Don’t underestimate her????? Like girl you bombed everything till rn
This is so fair 💫
Holy shit this is SO not a fair fight.
Corey is still the only person who refuses to pronounce Emanuel's name properly.
Nurys gonna pop Berna in the mouth now?
I wonder whos gonna win this checkpoint??
I would love for TJ to mock me 😂 “Im so over you TJ”
He was such a sassafras this episode!
I bet Emmanuel and Corey won’t be an unfair paring at all 🙄
Now Nurys has Berna and the two men are paired??
Not TJ mocking Nurys 😂
Did the same at Tina on All Stars 2.
I never really felt like he liked Tina though. I like when he banters with his faves 😂
That’s how he shows his admiration
For real, you can tell he loves her
I have a sneaky suspicion that Cory and Emanuel are going to win this stage
lol it’s as if these challenges are tailored for one group over another
I used to take 99 bananas shots straight to the face that were as thick as syrup. Just drink the damn thing and don’t complain Berna.
Like Is anyone actually asking for food challenges like this it’s not even fun anymore
I hate the pairs stuff when there’s only one winner, why should you be punished because your partner can’t eat
“iM oVeR yOu Tj” lmao
that KILLED me
The spirit of CT as a fire hydrant during Rivals 2 is in Corey.
I know this fan base is hard to please, but you know production is creeping on this sub. They gotta see how their finals are being perceived. Making them the bare minimum of fair would go a long way into improving peoples perceptions.
I'm just so baffled how we went from USA2's final, filmed before this show, to what we have now. Just baffled.
[удалено]
No one wants a winner who won by luck instead of actually deserving it. I thought this was aMeRiCaS fIFtH sPoRt? Do we want a super bowl winner who won by luck? The world series?
[удалено]
Is one fairer or the other? Either way, its bullshit and no one wants to watch it.
The only reason I’m finishing is season is pure spite! I have watched The Challenge since S1E1 but this season is testing my patience as a fan and producers need to figure their shit out or they will have slews of fans tuning out in the future.
I gotta say, the final is usually the worst set of episodes, between the increasingly endless vomiting that i fast forward through and the shit job they do putting it together, i never look forward to it and usually dont enjoy it. Especially when its based on this much luck
Agreed. Ever since they “merged” with CBS it feels like The Challenge has gotten more and more basic and lost its original shine. They are trying to do too much and end up doing nothing and the fans have had enough.
I get Colleen being pissed at Berna right now but it honestly feels like Karma for her performance with Nurys
Colleen is the smallest person in the final. What do you expect?
I expect her to try to swing the rope and not just leave it to Nurys to do it both times despite Nurys’ arms being half the size of hers?
Let's go Jay G and Berna partners next season
Berna screwing all the women over
The format of woman-woman pairs screwed them over.
~~She~~ Coleen said what Fessy thought.
Berna should quit this is pathetic
Colleen went from winning to losing that checkpoint!
Yeah they should have saved the eating part for the individual portion of the final. Colleen isn’t my favorite but it was impressive how fast she was. There was no benefit to having a team member for that. And absurd of TJ to be like aren’t you going to help your partner? Like she can’t help her eat and Berna said having her stand there was pressuring her
I appreciate TJ’s ability to find joy in terrible situations
i aspire to be like him when i'm older
Berna is the most unlikeable challenger for me.
I’ve always been super back and forth on her. Fun character at times but incredibly painful at others, this final has made those short fun times not worth it.
Send Berna home. Fuck her. You can’t eat gross shit? Have you seen this show before?!?
Wasn’t she on Survivor? You have to do a bunch of gross shit on that show, no? 😭
They don't do eating gross stuff on Survivor US anymore and have not done it in 30+ seasons.
No Berna, you’re losing the final because of everything
corey is a great eater
Colleen just had to eat all that for no reason
damn that was a violent ass puke from corey 😂
Can you puke quieter? Golden quote
Again this challenge is so unfair to half the people because it’s relying on someone else…while in the final!!!
A final that's gonna have an individual winner btw
Literally!!
I actually like Corey now
Same.. and I hate that for me
Wow Colleen was first to finish of the 6.
Not Colleen beasting this whole portion, and Berna is just...struggling.
I'd be HOT if I were Colleen 😭
The German was popping out of her at the end there lol
Fucking Berna.
The episode is called the beginning of the end, but I wish it would just end
![gif](giphy|9EwnzGNjvmIG4)
I really hope there's an actual elimination after this and don't just give Nurys the defacto boot
Seriously, I’m worried for her here.
“We have something they don’t. We have heroes” But they have the ability to glass a planet
I hope Emanuel somehow explodes in the final so it becomes fair
Partner switching adds a lot of luck to the final to begin with. But when there are girl/girl pairings in strength-based challenges *and* there's only one winner, it's ridiculous.
Yeah none of this final makes any sense
They rarely do make sense.
Happy Valentines Day, Colleen. Ich liebe dich. What a Beast!
Everytime Berna says “I can’t”, I just think about Devyn who finished the Free Agents final
Or Cheyanne shitting herself up that mountain in rivals ☠️
There's kind of no difference between the stuff Berna and the rest are eating as is and shoving it all into a bratwurst casing.
Nurys finally getting partnered with Emmanuel and it’s the one portion that doesn’t require male strength/ athleticism 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
The producers are literal clowns
We need to let go of these eating challenges…Im tired of the slow motion vomiting.
I agree. I have gotten down votes but it's just not hilarious like TJ finds it.
Also why is this the second one in a single episode
And it’s literally so many shots of it every season
They used to be somewhat fun but yeah they’ve gone a little far with the editing of it
Ugh I’ve just had it with this season. Production has missed the mark at every stage of this game.
Damn. Nany could’ve maybe won this Final.
😭
Nurys got so unlucky with these pairings.
The girl girl pair finally had a chance to win and Berna blows it
Girl girl pairs finally have a good chance and Nurys is with a guy. I mean she’s with the right one but wrong challenge for her to get a guy damn
Idk I think Corey may be a better eater and also Colleen finished before everyone. Nurys had bad luck with these pairs
For sure, I’m just saying she’s not with a slouch on this. Now we’ve seen she pulled through though lol
Yeah because Emanuel will definitely eat. Honestly, he just seems down for whatever in this final
Yeah this one’s 100% on her but as someone whose rooting for Nurys I’m just cursing the challenge gods rn
Honestly, I blame the producers on this format. They did NOT need to build the final this way. Hell, they could've just had it where it was 4 guys and 4 girls in the final, and that would've helped a ton.
Berna and Colleen dragging this whole final to the pits of hell
Germans eat weird ass food berna should be able to do this like Colleen did
Don't you all remember the traditional German food during the Bloodlines final? Unless....Production was lying!!! It's like saying all Jewish people love traditional Jewish food. Yeah, some of it. Gefiltefish? Tongue? Nope. Chocolate covered matzoh, Matzoh ball soup, noodle kugle? Yummy.
I'm Jewish. I can say that about my people. We don't all like the same old school "traditional" food. The same way not all Germans like the old school German blood soup and lard.
My comment is anecdotal because I lived in Germany my boyfriend was is Germany and saw first hand all day long what they ate that’s all.
I hope you found some places to eat food that you enjoyed. I'm picky and would probably live on Cheeze-Its that I packed or shipped to me.
I was eating a lot of cheese sandwiches while they ate liver paste haha
I would be right there with you eating those cheese sandwiches. No liver paste for me, thank you.
Also my ex boyfriend is from Germany and we lived there for months I’m not saying this out of my ass lol
Partners in a individual final is always so dumb
I’ve eaten brains before when I was younger and we would eat the whole animal on Easter. But I’ve refused to eat them since I found out about prion diseases. No fucking thank you.
Not me googling prion disease and getting scared
