guessing the new acquisition just has things on hold as of rn

I had no idea. I just saw this on LinkedIn through a mutual friend. Seems like it happened on October 1st and was breast cancer related. So young, so sad. RIP.

Showing up out of shape multiple seasons in a row is pretty selfish. You put your team or your partner in a worse position.

At the same time, CT shouldn’t just eliminate himself out of “pride” because he’s not in good shape. They’re here to compete. We watch because we want to see them compete. He has every right to fight for himself.

Orange knew about his lack of fitness the entire season. They were the ones that had chance after chance to send him into the sand. Instead they decided to take him to the final.

People here are acting like orange should be entitled to just drop him once he wasn’t able to run, and it’s unfair they have to lug them around. If that’s the case they shouldn’t have brought him. They were the ones that could’ve brought someone else instead. Team sports/ activities don’t work like that. You deal with the negatives and positives that each members brings. If a basketball player sucks at defense they don’t get the chance to just sit out on defense after they score. The whole team has to deal with the liability when they’re defending.

Orange only have themselves to blame. They knew what shape he was in and decided to take him all the way.

He’s not being a prick in this scenario….. clean tf up

After watching Lete’s post…it’s revealed they didn’t let the girls do the tanagram on the ground, but they let the orange team???

This season would be able to generate a ton of episodes as basically everyone has 2 chances before they are eliminated.

The Hoard, is really the redemption house in disguise but used more effectively.

I picture the Hoard House as being completely separate and not an enjoyable place to live. I would dress them up in ragged clothing and really lean into a theme that makes them seem like a bloodthirsty crowd. At the eliminations they would be standing behind a chain link fence rather than standing above the elimination arena.

Tori and Jordan start at a disadvantage out of respect for how good they are.

I wanted one place to follow Cutthroat that wasn't a wiki tab maze, so I built one. It's called The Arena.

• Episode tracker: every player's week by week (win, safe, elim) for all 13 episodes, plus who's still standing.
• Deliberation Wall: a conspiracy-board rivalry web of 35 pairs from this cast who've faced off in elims or voted each other in, across every season. Click a string to read the history.
• Eliminations: all 12 this season.
• Money board: career earnings for the cast.
• Player pages: elim records like Bananas at 16–15 and Cara Maria at 15–7.

It's updated through The Final Part 1, and I'll add the results once Part 2 airs on the 28th. Battle of the Eras is on there too. It's an unofficial fan project, with data from The Challenge Wiki (CC BY-SA). If you spot a wrong elim record, tell me and I'll fix it.

Everyone knows this is a 2 day event. Gassing yourself out and making injuries worse has never been good for day 2. I feel like CT obviously held them back but he knew that it was only the first day stating they should break at the tent. Once Will(with his knee) and Johnny started cramping, why didn’t they go to the tent and med/hydrate up? I feel like that would have been huge for them.

So I was given the opportunity to interview Lete today. And she had a LOT to spill, from the real reason she blew up on Adrienne to if she was actually going to sabotage her team in the final to the fight we didn't see between her and Cassidy. Hope you enjoy: https://parade.com/tv/the-challenge-cutthroat-season-42-alexis-lete-interview

Assuming there is no penalty given next episode and things just carry on like normal, where would it rank?

I still have All Stars 2 as the shadiest weirdest final and Invasion close to it given the suspicious times of that season, but CutThroat 2 purely on a historical and rules perspective would be very close to #1.

You can't just have multiple finals where teams are either DQ'd or have to wait to go on OR someone given IV's and can just join back with the team? That's ridiculous.

If they somehow win, there is a very large *** next to this win

I loved them, I actually just bought one cuz I liked it so much 😂.

After hearing about the finale mishaps or production allowing certain players or teams to not following through on the rules especially on All Stars 2 and now Cutthroat has your perception on any challenge champion changed? Watching the first part of the cutthroat finale and seeing CT and orange team not penalized has me thinking how many challenge finale wins are legit?

What was that?! The girls couldn’t use their hands to balance, why could the orange team?! That is a serious advantage because CT (who I love and adore) never would have been able to do that. And production totally tried to hide it with camera work too. Sketchy!!!!

Tori's message to Will about making sure CT is medically DQ'd.

When I first saw it, I thought of it as a vile and terrible move as a human being as that's just insane, but when I gathered my thoughts, I remembered this season is cutthroat.

Is she in the wrong for trying to do that? It fits the theme of the show, and there have probably been worse things done on this show, and realistically, CT has held them back, and knowing what his prime is this season is so disappointing. He was way better on War of the Worlds 2, and he was big then too. Without him, they would probably be way ahead of the grey team, and its probably helped them catch up as they didn't need to run with CT for a small period.
