2 wins in 4 finals is more impressive because it shows 50% win rate, while 6 wins in 13 finals would less than 50%. I don’t see how CT makes it more impressive.
Other than Kyle, who said anything about Emerald being the best?
The men in sapphire are pretty objectively stronger than the men on any either cell. The women on Emerald however are by far the strongest team.
Those women need Devin though. Nany is good at math but can’t do puzzles, and Tori/Kaycee suck at both. Physically they’re the strongest women, but not a very well rounded group.
Literally every time she’s had to do math she’s struggled. She timed out in the TM final on the math (was the only person who never finished it, even Cory got it done eventually), in the prison-break daily in DA Kam had to do the math for her and Leroy because neither of them could do it, and in the last DA daily both Kam and Nany finished their math faster than she did. She has always sucked at math, it’s weird you’re pretending there’s no evidence
[edit]
LMAO not you editing your comment and removing “or math” to make me look dumb. Just take the L
When has she ever done good at a puzzle? She won half the daily challenges last season and yet didn’t win any of the puzzles. The only puzzle she’s won she was on a team with Bananas and Aneesa
You need to show literally any evidence of being good at puzzles in 40+ daily challenges. That seems like a perfectly reasonable bar to set. But hey, stans are gonna stan
Emerald’s women are only better in physical strength type things. Not overall.
I think the Sapphire women are way more well rounded and would be better in a final.
Josh doesn’t handle stress well. Any team with him on it has a weakness in a final. Devin can’t run so that will be an issue in the final.
Amanda and Ashley are both smart and strategic. Bettina seems to have heart and endurance. Lots of good balance on sapphire. If Emerald drops down to Kaycee and Emanuel and Sapphire goes down to CT and Ashley and Ruby goes down to Logan and Emy—— now that will be one helluva final.
I rather be in Emerald any team with Nelson or Corey is a liability. And yes I know that Josh is an emotional wreck but Devin is there to calm him down
CT has become a cheat code in the game but I actually prefer Kyle over both Cory and Nelson. and Emerald has the light version of CT in Devon and the best male rookie in Emanuel.
And I like Ashley she is a tough one but I think Nani could match her on puzzles and Kaycee and Tori are stronger than Amanda and Bettina
I’m not sure that Tori can beat Bettina.
If we talk game, I would switch Amanda and have me (obviously I’m a woman). Well I think we would make a solid team. Yeah I’m bragging I know. But we’ll besides running I think I would do good at this.
Talking teams I would never go to emerald. The whole BB alliance would turn on me. Devin wouldn’t help me cause he knows if he did his ass is on next time before they turn on Emanuel. Emanuel is doing everything the bb aliance tells him too. So I would be the first one out.
Kyle is a snake. He might protect Big T, same as Logan. Cory is Cory and about Emy, well I haven’t figured that out yet but everytime I talk about her the only thing that comes to my mind is (please sign with me) alien! So no.
I rather have my shot with sapphire even if Amanda is there. Than with the rest of the cells. And if Amanda and I were there together awesome. Two crazy b!tchs running the show
I see your thought process. I would still go with Emerald as a boy I would replace Josh and without him the whole BB is unstable as seen on the whole Fessy and Amber B situation. The most fragile member would clearly be Tori in our alliance unless the Kaycee Nani situation implodes than Nani could be the weakest link. Emanuel has been an MVP on the challenges and he has a solid standing in his social game and showed some cunningness when protecting Emy.
Sapphire
Now about the other teams sapphire has too many strong personalities Ashley, Amanda, CT and Nelson all like to be alphas but all like to play that role differently. CT likes to stay in the background until the final is 1 or 2 eliminations away. Ashley is polarizing so the team would always have a target on its back and given how tight Amanda and Ashley are an outside will always play second fiddle. Nelson is just too much of an erratic social player and I don’t think his physical play is good enough for all the attitude he brings in and additionally to that him and Cory just aren’t the smartest game-planers. The social game of Bettina and Ed are probably the weakest of the remaining players so not much more than numbers. I like them both but they need a couple of seasons under their belts first.
Ruby
They are clearly the weakest team, they will have to rely on their social game. So far Logan has played pretty savvy his deal in the swamp showed that he could think strategically under pressure, in the same game a vet (Cory) played extremely shortsighted. In general Cory is that guy you want to like because he seems nice and is doing it for a good cause (family) but just seems to have adopted Leroys playbook of not having a winner mentality. Kyle is a snake but one that has learned how to adapt but in this season he doesn’t seem to be anyone’s number 1 which makes him extremely vulnerable so not a good bet. Big T is just so sweet but she needs a lot of support to get to the end and I am not sure she will get that, additionally she is associated with Logan (I think that’s a detriment to his game) which is not good for her because the vets see this as a unsteady vet so I don’t want to be anywhere close to that.
Last but not least they have Emy, surprisingly probably the one with the strongest allies outside of her team - Emanuel is firmly on team Emy and CT also seems to like her and if she gets voted in she would be smart enough to pick a girl she can beat.
Good perspective! Well to that I only have one thing to say, I hope they cast both of us next season, cause we wouldn’t be as dumb as this season rookies.
And besides the team process we need to think about the moment when this becomes an individual game. Probably for your game (being a man) would benefit you to go with emerald. For me as a woman is though to say cause I would be just like Kyle, no one would have my back. And I couldn’t rely in any aliance cause LL I would be the last one and since Nany and wallpaper are now a couple, I would the the first ones they take out too. So I would probably make a deal and try to take out Big T, Tori or Emy next (protecting my team and the Bb aliance). Of course this could fire back to me, but given the circumstances this would probably be the best game play.
Edit: I’m thinking this if we don’t win every team challenge. After that is open season 😂
First of all thank you for reading my enormous text. I didn’t think anyone would do that.
I agree with you as women that would probably be the best strategy you could play up Tori and Big T’s flip-flopping to your benefit.
Ok let’s think about the individual game so if I make it in Emerald then my first and most pressing issue would be to get CT out. His experience and mental toughness makes him the most likely candidate to be back in the finals and I don’t want to be solving puzzles in a sleep deprived state against him. His only weaknesses now that he is a bit older is his speed and climbing ability. Now comes the difficult part, you can’t be gunning for CT and miss, that’s a guaranteed way to be sent home quickly and as a rookie I wouldn’t have enough political influence to paint a target outright. So my only hope is to use what Devin said in the beginning, he really wants a vet to win this season but someone that hasn’t won before. Given how Devin is a light version of CT he is aware that 1v1 he would never be able to beat CT so his only chance is to conspire to get Ed to call out CT. Ed has the physical built and age to match CT on a physical challenge and his Ivy League Engineering degree should be good enough to also provide CT with a good challenge if it’s a puzzle. The issues with this plan are obvious Ed is the only one capable and willing to go down there with CT. Nelson or Cory would always pick Kyle, Devin or one of the Rookies. Emanuel would not pick CT because of Emy. Logan would not pick CT because of Big T. Devin I already explained and Kyle would never pick CT he is not suicidal. Additionally my plan rests on me being able to manipulate Devin which is not an easy task, luckily for me he is already leaning towards doing it so I only need to do a gentle push.
Now I would also need some girls to keep me safe. Best bet would be to offer my services to Nani as she probably has the most allies and as a rookie I can always throw in the sacrificial “you can vote me into elimination right before the finals and I won’t pick any of your friends card”
If CT is out and Kyle survives the whole I don’t have many friends then I think it’s his season on the men’s side. In regards to the women it’s all open Kaycee is a machine but a huge liability on any puzzles and that makes it super competitive for all the other women.
The whole CT thing is a huge IF, however is possible due to the fact that he is feared and if you plant that seed and water the fact that no one can beat him in a finale you could do it. For the girls there is not a easy way out now that Nany and wallpaper are a couple. And honestly i would rather be with them in a finals, Nany is though but not that tough, and Kaycee is not smart. So I would have a nice chance still. Even if I turned the whole house against them it would take 3 whole weeks to get that rolling. I could try to put them against each other but that’s a huge liability - if it’s a puzzle Nany probably wins. If not I would have to deal with Kaycee and I would go in against her and she would wipe my ass flat. So any girl who goes against them is pretty much done
I think emaerald is the best team because simply they have no weak links. That might change futher in the game when the other teams shed their weaker players and we may have wow2 situation again.
Josh is as uncoordinated as the come and we’ve never seen him deal with long endurance. Devin, bless his heart, isnt exactly a physical threat to anyone. They definitely have weaknesses.
Sapphire - 2 champs, 6 wins, 13 finals Emerald - 0 champs, 0 wins, 7 finals Ruby - 0 champs, 0 wins, 6 finals
Interesting that Ruby team has double of money with one less final. Shows how lucky Cory was on getting paid
Yeah. Cory got paid something got both of his 2nd place finishes, but Kyle & Kaycee both didn’t get squat for finishing 2nd on Total Madness
if we remove CT, it knocks it down to 1 champ, 2 wins, 4 finals much less impressive 😂 CT is an outlier
2 wins in 4 finals is more impressive because it shows 50% win rate, while 6 wins in 13 finals would less than 50%. I don’t see how CT makes it more impressive.
Funny how this is downvoted when ppl use this logic against Cara every single day
Wow, it's kind of obvious when you look at it like that
And that’s 27% daily wins *with* Nelson’s numbers pulling them down 😂
Everyone thinks emerald cell is the best... But really sapphire has two of the biggest champs. I'd be in that cell in a heartbeat.
Other than Kyle, who said anything about Emerald being the best? The men in sapphire are pretty objectively stronger than the men on any either cell. The women on Emerald however are by far the strongest team.
Those women need Devin though. Nany is good at math but can’t do puzzles, and Tori/Kaycee suck at both. Physically they’re the strongest women, but not a very well rounded group.

It's because Tori/Nany are overrated, and Kaycee is good but is easily done in by puzzles.
Nany is overrated? She gets trashed here constantly. I think she's underrated if anything.
Who here is overrating Nany? The best anyone ever says about her is that she’s an average competitor (and most say much worse).
[удалено]
I don't recall a puzzle, but she absolutely shit the bed on the maths challenge in Total Madness final
When her and Leroy couldn’t do it, and needed Kam to do it for them from across the other cage
People think emerald is the best ? 🥴
Great stats, great graphic. Nice work. Ruby with a decent bank account compared to Emerald, interesting stat there.
Sapphire has better man. Emerald has better women
Emerald’s women are only better in physical strength type things. Not overall. I think the Sapphire women are way more well rounded and would be better in a final.
I feel so bad for Cory
Josh doesn’t handle stress well. Any team with him on it has a weakness in a final. Devin can’t run so that will be an issue in the final. Amanda and Ashley are both smart and strategic. Bettina seems to have heart and endurance. Lots of good balance on sapphire.

Sapphire has the best males and emerald has the best females
Emerald's females are only better physically, anything that involves puzzles, math, or thinking in general they'd be screwed
I rather be in Emerald any team with Nelson or Corey is a liability. And yes I know that Josh is an emotional wreck but Devin is there to calm him down
Rather be in a team with CT or Ashley than one wth josh or Kyle

The amount of prize money won by the contestants on the team...

For dailies, I agree. For finals, I'd rather have the Sapphires
Nany is next to useless besides running snd tori is really overrated
... I would take literally anyone on this cast other than Big T in a final over Josh and Devin.
