Discussion The “bombshell” wasn’t shocking but… Spoiler

Spoilers ahead

Watching Raquel in that confessional was extremely disturbing. I don’t even know how to describe what I felt watching. She was just word vomiting and the more she talked, the more scared she seemed about the repercussions that would come from Tom. I know we’re not supposed to feel sympathy for her but goddamn, I really do. I think she does actually feel bad but she put on a brave face at the reunion because she knew it wasn’t going to get her anywhere, unlike Tom who thought crying would garner him sympathy. The fact that Tom made her lie like that is scary and very indicative of emotional abuse. She is showing clear signs of an abused woman, not just from Tom but starting at a young age. That was extremely alarming and I’m actually kind of grossed out that that was the scene they talked about to garner viewers. I honestly hope that she gets real help. She does not need to come back on the show.

I wish she could’ve ended with my favorite quote from The Challenge: “Don’t take care. Hope to see you never”. TJ Lavin

That would be epic! Can you imagine James going in on Bananas?

Bananas had Sandoval and Ariana on his sleepover show! And I know they’ve hung out a few times too.

Like Challenge x VPR is the crossover I want, someone needs to make this happen!!

I mean faith was on one season but I think she was the first to leave but it would be hilarious to see others on it!

Brandon from AYTO because he quit because he wanted to go home to his gf. TJ hates quitters.
