The Challenge 40 - Episode 19 - "End of an Era, Part 2" Recap & Review - Battle of the Eras- Finale

[@jonathanhusk6590]

If Jordan would put on that performance that he did and lost because of karma vote, I would've been very upset. Well deserved. Truly is one of the best to ever step foot on the Challenge

[@RealityArtPod]

yeah.. he is the goat

[@UT4Clips]

💯

[@Rico401Prov]

Believe me, if they didn’t protect Jordan and not invite Emmanuel and Turbo on this season, Jordan would not have won. I promise

[@jonathanhusk6590]

@Rico401Prov put him in the arena against both them and he'd win

[@AngelaDama-s3h]

Wowwwww so awesome seeing Rachel in this !!!!

[@RealityArtPod]

Love her for that!

[@LanaK.fan8337]

Rachel & Jordan!!!!❤💥🙌👏👏 Jenny NOW back to back champ! Also SUPER HAPPY for Derek as well! 🎊🎉

[@RealityArtPod]

Oh wow youre right Jenny back to back champ i ddnt think about that since its been such a long time!

[@LanaK.fan8337]

​@@RealityArtPodyeah. I actually ment to say 2x champ but whatever. 😅

[@GloriaRamirez-v4n]

Yayy you won so glad you beat Tori 💓

[@isolationnation2124]

For the life of me I will never understand how nobody ever went for Jordan. I understand he's great to run a final with, but on the other side of that coin, he's a nightmare to run a final against. I understand the sentiment to get Bananas and other threats out, but Jordan is now tied for the second most championships all time, and it feels like he just cruised his way there. I'm a big Jordan fan, but I'm not sure how to feel about him coasting to a win and what this does to his legacy.

[@isolationnation2124]

i also understand the point that there was no opportunity. But still, there was no fight at all.

[@RealityArtPod]

Heres another thing to think about.. he's probably a terrible person to have as an enemy. I wouldnt want to take a shot at him and miss myself.. eek!

[@hansoloburger2322]

You talk like it’s a easy thing to do

[@TDRyan]

I hated this season tbh! I watched the finale episodes so Congratulations Jordan,Rachel and Jenny. I'm excited for the reunions. Although i don't get why Michele got 3rd. 2 1st placers 1 2nd 1 3rd? Like it doesn't make sense

[@makanjajan2088]

It okay I'm happy with that..🎉michele

[@RealityArtPod]

Since they tied for first they split the combined first and second place money so they just called michele third and gave her third place money. Im sure theres legal reasons. If she was second technically she would need second place money right

[@minerzach1236]

Well I was right that karma points played a huge part of this season hope production does not bring back karma points and hope the final has more than swimming for next season.

[@RealityArtPod]

If I were in charge of this show, I would have had the events of the final decide a top 2 man and woman, and then surprise the cast with a barge pulling up with all of the eliminated players who would then vote jury style on a winner.

[@minerzach1236]

Or even have a redemption house like dirty XXX would have made the season interesting.

[@hunter_von]

I do think contestants should let go of Bananas stealing the money from Sarah, HOWEVER, they also have a right to call him out on his hypocrisy. (imo)

[@RealityArtPod]

Right of course hes not perfect trust me im not his biggest fan, but i feel like any time he tries to say anything, like he will be like "i was trying to be a friend to michele" and they will be like "shut up bananas you have no right to talk you stole the money from sarah" and that just doesnt make sense..

[@shawnb2254]

The girls kicked ass in the final. Very impressive. And Jenny with the coins was the right strategy to sleep. She was 4th for Women but beat all the guys guesses!

[@RealityArtPod]

She still beat tori even though the show made it seem like she phoned it in!

[@hansoloburger2322]

⁠@@RealityArtPodthe show made it seem like she phoned it in? She literally said I’m not even counting anymore

[@RealityArtPod]

@@hansoloburger2322 Yeah, that was so confusing? The show made it seem like she completely guessed. If she really completely guessed she wouldnt have done better than anybody. She obviously really counted. They completely lied.

[@hansoloburger2322]

@@RealityArtPod I think you miss understand my comment they didn’t make it look like that she did, she did I bet what she did was count the first round then times it by the amount of rounds she did… go get something you can count in your house but as you do it talk repeatedly. Surely you don’t think counting and talking like Jenny was is easy?

[@RealityArtPod]

@@hansoloburger2322 oh maybe.. but it seems like Tori was really trying and was up all night and she ended up beating Tori

[@josiahkuepfer5379]

Karma vote ruined the whole season. The fact that it was worth so much in the end was stupid. Terrible finish for a good season.

[@RealityArtPod]

It would have been better if a jury showed up at the end to vote in person.

[@jackiesanders979]

Totally agree!!! Just let each person win per the final points they received at each checkpoint. The karma points were a terrible idea with their impact on the final standings, particularly for the women. I felt so bad for Michelle.

[@RealityArtPod]

@@jackiesanders979 I think the karma points are good in theory, if they are going to really like get someone who was a real a hole all season, but in the end the only person who really suffered was michele, and she wasnt really a bad person who deserved to suffer, she was an underdog who fought her ass off to get to the final so i think over all it was kind of a flop twist but i like that rachel won.

[@riskmaster7480]

So, I was pretty much correct Jenny won a challenge before and it didn’t seem like she was gonna have a problem this time either and yeah you’re right if Rachel had to defend for herself the whole season, she probably would’ve got eliminated Kylan just let everybody down and that would make Jordan the favorite , because nobody cares about Johnny Bonkers it’s time he retired but he still has many in him 😅

[@RealityArtPod]

Lmao i think bananas could end up hosting the show or hosting all stars

[@zeusthemoose1307]

Ok so I just knew Rachel and Jordan had this in the bag they both went through the game without burning that many people, however Ngl it was a pleasant surprise to see that Jenny also won, after seeing her finale performance I was like she’s gotta have this in the bag she’s doing the best out of the woman in this final. Now for this season overall, Ngl before the season started I was pumped and so excited to watch this, however this season just like the past few once again felt lackluster, for a stacked cast I was looking forward to some drama but their was like 0 to none, a lot of good players went home early and than we were stuck with the players you knew were going far and those who you knew weren’t, the karma points were hyped up and for what they did with them felt boring and tired, plus it once again proved that the best challenger doesn’t always win these games, overall happy with the winners this season but felt like this season could’ve been more

[@RealityArtPod]

I think the producers really bungled it with the format and the competitions. The casting was great, but there were so many problems throughout, the eliminations had issues, Horacio feels like his wasnt fair, we probably will never see horacio again because of it WAH

[@ANGEL_M2112]

Wish Tori won, but she has proven herself everytime❤❤😊

[@RealityArtPod]

She did so well all season, she was so dissappointed in the end. The fans are so hard on her.

[@AJ-tube]

The season started well but the final was some how boring i am very happy for jordan and upset that Michelle lost just for the karma vote her performance in this season was great Kyland was boring Derek was a storm I like the drama between bananas and tori with out there fight the end would have been more boring Generally this season was good the final was little bit boring to much swimming no drama a lot of good palyers go home early that makes it some how boring any how congratulations for all of the finalists 🎉

[@RealityArtPod]

The final was boring youre right it seemed a bit cheap? like they didnt want to buy anything

[@_JAS0N_]

To all the Tori haters I always love drinking ur tears 😂 They taste delicious

[@RealityArtPod]

They go too hard against her

[@_JAS0N_]

@@RealityArtPod Its a weird hatred that I would never understand... But who cares what they think 😂let them keep hating. All their favorite girls got eliminated and didn't make it to the final like Tori did.

[@elianenivans1717]

After 5 months... the season is finally over. Honestly, the first part of the contest was a disaster, with all the favorites out, it lost interest and I'm not surprised that people hate this final... On the other hand, I liked it, honestly, I've never seen a final focused on swimming, and it was great, except that the karma votes... I think that twist would have been left out, they showed very little of that twist and on top of that they didn't mention everyone. In general, the season started well but ended meh for me... Let's see what the reunion will be like Great job, and did you see the AS5 trailer?

[@RealityArtPod]

my biggest problem with the karma twist is they didnt clearly lay it out from the beginning so they could have decided how impactful the karma points would be at any given moment and changed the results of the competition

[@RealityArtPod]

and yes im sooo excited for as5

[@elianenivans1717]

@@RealityArtPod Exactly, that's why I understand that the karma vote was stupid, because it wasn't clear, at least if they had put a video on their official pages with the votes, it would make sense, but it doesn't make sense, and let's see how the reunion will be.

It was so satisfying to see Tori loose, she treats people like shit. Karma will always round up. Such is life😂

[@RealityArtPod]

Do you really think she treats people badly?

[@EzMoney95]

I feel like they took a lot of physical elimination out or put puzzles in so the weaker can catch up . Kind of done with the challenge to much talking girls and gays act like this is the 1st season and there doing it for the girls or gays it’s season 40 stop it 1hour of hearing poor me can do without

god forbid we talk about the girls and the gays
