Laurel vs. Ninja In Branched Out 🌲 One Of The Most SHOCKING Eliminations In Challenge History

Then she started coercing everyone to go against ninja and being extremely arrogant about it. Then finally when she thought she won, she just had to throw insult to injury and do those "suck it signs". If she didnt deserve Karma i dont know who does. Plus like i said the fact that even someone as eccentric as Bear could be a bigger person then her and hug Wes after winning instead of being an asshole shows how sad laurel was.

This was HILARIOUS! Laurel got what she deserved. They allow her to stomp around like she's the boss and she was put in her place

[@jdot1532]

Laurel knew she missed a hole. Look at her body language when she is looking at the top. It's also why she was so snappy with her retorts when Ninja noticed their mistakes. "You have to work with what you got." She knew just as well as Ninja did she had missed a hole when she got to the top. She just decided to make it fit where she could instead of looking for her mistake... Think about it.. if Ninja would have accepted defeat instead of campaigning I guarantee no one would have ever known about her 'mistake.'

[@rooneyvallen9384]

To anyone saying Laurel should have won, the pegs are meant to be climbed on, so that top pipe is literally irrelevant to the whole game. And they literally missed the same exact hole, so let's be honest, if that pipe wasn't on the top of Laurel's "tree", and they both had to go back down, find the hole, and climb back up, Ninja would've smoked her...

[@blankempathy]

Except if they both missed that hole but the peg was meant to be climbed on then doesn't that make that hole irrelevant? If Laurel and ninja both needed that hole they wouldn't have missed it. Both of them climbed and completed the task in the same manner, difference is Laurel had an extra hole and assumed that's where it went.

[@birdseyeview1812]

@@blankempathy How does one horizontal stick make sense when all the other ones were vertical ? There was no extra hole at the top . She just stuck it up there . The point of the challenge is to get all your sticks in the CORRECT hole regardless of it was used or not . That is literally one of the rules . That’s what makes this show even harder . If it was that easy than maybe Laurel wins but it’s not . That just creates more loopholes for the challenge. That’s just like going into a hall brawl and completely skipping the brawl part and hitting the bell. You have to do certain things correctly .

[@blankempathy]

@@birdseyeview1812 "That’s just like going into a hall brawl and completely skipping the brawl part and hitting the bell. You have to do certain things correctly ." I guess you missed the elimination where Zach jumps over CJ in a hall brawl and completely avoids contact. Yes I understand the rules. Laurel put the stick in all the holes she found. It just happened to be that one of those holes were incorrect. Thus why it should have been reset.

[@birdseyeview1812]

@@blankempathy Clearly you don’t understand the rules if you believe it should be a reset . The rules were to put your sticks in the correct hole . Did Laurel do that ? No . Ninja had a chance to do that and completely took advantage of it instead of whining about it Laurel should’ve adjusted quickly and put it in there and rung the bell. Did she do that? No . I understand you probably wanted Laurel to win but she didn’t. Now if they brought her back after she lost like Bananas and Nany in a new elimination round then yeah but she doesn’t get a reset just because she fucked up. That’s karma for you. Maybe I overestimated you . Let me dumb it down . What I meant is completely skipping the wall, not meeting with your opponent and ringing the bell. That’s not the rules ...you have to meet in the brawl . However you do it when you get in there is up to you.

[@blankempathy]

"Maybe I overestimated you . Let me dumb it down . What I meant is completely skipping the wall, not meeting with your opponent and ringing the bell. That’s not the rules ...you have to meet in the brawl . However you do it when you get in there is up to you." Or maybe you overestimate your own intelligence and you feel the need to talk down to others in order to attempt make yourself appear to be the right one? No you did not say "you have to meet in the brawl". You said you can't skip the "brawl" portion of that elimination and just got for the bell. The brawl portion would be the act of making physical contact. If your point was try to remove the "hall" portion of the elimination aka going through the hall then you would have said hall, not brawl. Don't pretend that I misinterpreted your incorrect statement and then call me stupid. "Clearly you don’t understand the rules if you believe it should be a reset . The rules were to put your sticks in the correct hole." Oh no I understood the rules. The rules themselves do not say there are only x amount of holes in the pole. The only people who know which were the correct holes are the people who built the damn thing and production if they were told afterwards. There is a reason why TJ called it when Laurel rung the hell, he thought she did it correctly. It wasn't until Ninja went up to her pole and figured out that Laurel must have an extra hole. So was Laurel wrong? Yes, but production was also wrong in calling it as well. Thus why it should have been reset because it was them who made the mistake that mattered, not Laurel. The players don't get to call for a game to stop, only production can. Watch the hundreds of other puzzles on this show and tell me when the game gets called for someone's puzzle being wrong? It doesn't happen. TJ and production confirms they are correct before calling it. That is the proper procedure. "but laurel is the one who did it wrong and rung her bell": Then its productions job to tell the players they only get one chance to do the elimination. There is also the fact that production does step in and tell players when they're doing things wrong. They didn't in this case.

Ninja said on the Challenge Mania podcast that she reached the top before Laurel but didn't ring the bell because she still had a peg. Laurel missed the same hole as Ninja but she broke the rules and shoved the peg in the truss of the tree. Laurel was clearly in the wrong. Then when production offered a restart Laurel refused. Laurel has no one to blame but herself.

[@joesalt7516]

I believe they should have had us do a reset and let us race to the top" - Laurel. Interested that you believe ninja, but will most likely ignore the words from Laurel herself. When exactly did production offer a reset? Because neither even knew who won until TJ announced it.

[@jayjasperjp]

@@joesalt7516 Laurel says that NOW but she refused when it was all going down. She thought she won because TJ blew the horn and she didn't want to risk losing to Ninja in a restart.

[@joesalt7516]

@@jayjasperjp Context of when/who offered her a rematch matters. There should have been a forced reset, or Laurel should have just won because they screwed up (I don't agree with the latter). Production should have went up to her and said "No, you didn't do it right, you can either reset or you lose. That situation most certainly didn't happen, because Laurel already said they should have done a reset. Yelling at Ninja before knowing what happened, saying something like "fuck a reset, I won", is not even the same scenario, assuming that even happened.

[@joesalt7516]

@ It was not a technical issue? LMAO. Production checked Laurels work, gave TJ the ok to blow the horn, which ENDS the GAME. That is the textbook definition of a technical issue. Not to mention, Ninja is the only one who DOESN'T benefit from a reset. So pretending to be this high and mighty, noble player is to her benefit after the fact.

[@myJOJA]

@@joesalt7516 If ninja is the only one who is not benefiting from a reset than a reset wouldn't be fair to ninja if it can only benefit laurel making her possibly win instead of cheating or (the other unfair part) saying that Tj already blown the horn so laurel would win without a correction. Anyhow that would be bad for Ninja And seeing that you want ninja to have lost and laurel to win , your judgement on the matter of a reset or not would be biased

I'm glad someone else noticed that. She even said you gotta make it happen 😂😂😂😂. I've never seen karma strike faster

You can tell he was dogging the shit out of her while she was bragging, pretty sure he agreed too not to restart them and just send her home lmao

@@daniel161823 I just listened to a podcast suggested by others on here. Ninja said they had the option to restart but Laurel refused because she kept saying she won, the horn was blown. That makes me have even less sympathy for her.

Exactly, she knew she cheated and starting getting nervous once she got busted

[@joesalt7516]

@@evaunit25 That's funny. No one on the show stated she tried to cheat. Not even Ninja, who was on a 2 hour podcast to talk about it all. It's amazing how some random person on the internet seems to have the inside scoop. She put her pole in a hole, and rang the bell. They do a check everytime. Production screwed up and didnt check it right. The only person you can say cheated, was Ninja, as she played after the horn was blown.

[@dogsbreakfast4952]

Joe S except she didn’t put her pole in a hole she shoved it in the top of the fake tree. She cheated. And rightfully got called out and lost. Facts don’t care about your feelings

[@jessicamclune5533]

One of the happiest moments I’ve ever had on this show the fact that Laurel the messiest bully that orchestrated this whole thing and then she thinks she won and THEN get her behind sent home! The best thing to ever happen in the challenge

[@Kcoads]

6:27 “you’re gloating before.....” Remember last season when ninja swore and threw shit at turbo before they announced the winner? I guess she learned to hold her mouth till they announce the winner lmao 😆

[@user-ci4qq1om4o]

They did announce it tho. That's why Laurel was confused. They checked her tree and then blew the horn saying she won.

Laurel has the AUDACITY. Ninja hugged her and said good luck b4 they started. Yes Laurel you do have bad sportsmanship. Of course you were leading cause you are taller than she is, that was an advantage. Laurel KNEW she cheated.

[@michellev3085]

Laurel going back up with ninja is the funniest thing. Like girl if you’re so confident why are you going back up😂😂😂😂

[@bergercookie]

Exactly! She knew she was wrong but too embarrassed to admit it. She rushed through it trying to keep up with Ninja and missed the hole then when she got to the top she just thought she could get away with putting in it in the tress lol 😂. I had a feeling something wasn’t right when she just shoved it into the top out of desperation. Busted lol 😂

[@neex3love568]

Why are people saying Laurel should of won. Ninja was already done but stuck with that last stick which they both missed. This was a very shocking elimination though. 🙀

[@ninjastorm540]

Exactly she's lying saying she got there first when she didn't and she finished first when she didn't and cheated.

[@BiggyBollocks]

I used to love Laurel’s spirit, but she came across completely crazy in this elimination. Act with some grace, accept that you screwed up, and just come back better.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

“I don’t agree. It was a bad call.” Laurel just take the L and move on. You messed up. You were manipulative and arrogant the whole episode, and that behavior got you thrown into the elimination, and, to top it off, you were a sore “winner.” The rules are there for a reason. You played outside them and lost. Bye.

[@amygal888]

Ren Davis plus if the roles were reversed and ninja messed up laurel would be screaming for a replay and be so happy ninja got sent home.

Ain't no way Laurel actually thought that last branch was supposed to go there. You were supposed to USE ALL 21 branches to CLIMB to the bell. She literally didn't even use that last one, she just put it at the top. This whole episode all the way up to the win she THOUGHT she had, Laurel acted nasty and manipulative. She even tried to convince others that she won anyway. The audacity and privilege you have to have to even complain and say you don't agree with the call. How you not agree with the RULES Laurel!? THEY'RE THE RULES!!!

How do you get to keep playing after the horn blows (Ninja) THEY'RE THE RULES/your silly logic.

Joe S I fully believe even if Ninja wouldn’t have climbed back up, they still would have checked. They have people test these challenges before hand and they’re almost always on set in case something goes wrong. Somebody would’ve said something.
