Good reality TV in a post-Bravo world is often measured by how much shadiness or plotting it contains.
Thank you for your service, Josh.
This episode was a hoot.
When everyone returns to the house from the Crater, Kyle starts attacking Fessy for throwing him in.
This doesnt stop Kyle from repeatedly calling him a pussy to the point where everyone watching looks extremely uncomfortable.
Kyle abides in a way Ive never seen a white man do on this show.
Outside, CT and Big T discuss their new partnership, (Big CT, haha).
Were supposed to be amused by their odd-couple dynamic, but neither of them are that interesting.
Cory seems to think him and Fessy are allies, which I thought as well.
But maybe dont start pissing off your friends just yet?
Were on episode three!
Two teams face off on top of a semi truck moving at 50 miles per hour.
The last person with both their feet on the truck wins.
Notably, Nicole and Devin go against Kam and Kyle, and Nicole ends up dislocating her shoulder.
This is also an embarrassing set of last words before you get taken away in an ambulance.
Another notable matchup is Tori vs. Liv.
Off to the hospital she goes!
Fessy and CT end up going against each other, which the other challengers are excited about.
But theyre so evenly matched that nothing is really happening, and it ends up being a draw.
Leroy and Kaycee knock their opponents off the truck faster than anyone else and win the challenge.
Everyone seems pretty content that they won, which makes me curious about how many allies they have combined.
Shesverychill about all of this.
Next up in this episode is Josh.
But the exasperated tone with which everyone pronounces his name feels like its its own thing.
Its very important to note that the ground outside is wet from the rain, and Josh is barefoot.
CT goes inside to ask Kaycee if she made her cry, to which she answers no.
in a way that made me holler.
Everyone pretty much laughs this off except for Josh, who somehow ends up outside trying to fight Devin.
Hes still barefoot, which is driving me insane.
Meanwhile, Devin is smoking a cigarette and asking Josh to do basic math equations.
Shooting this already farcical moment to the moon is a So Emotional by Whitney Houston needle drop.
Im so grateful for this music budget.
But Wes thinks he can gather enough soldiers to vote in Cory and Tori.
Wes says hes voting for them as well.
Josh doesnt actually need to do this because Devin is an obvious pick due to his lone-ranger status.
But Josh is all id with no superego.
I think I said that right?
Watching Leroy and Kaycee have a go at absorb and analyze this information is hilarious.
Before elimination, Wes tries to strike a deal with Leroy because he knows hes getting sent in.
Kam is present, of course, because her and Leroy make all their decisions together.
At the Crater, Leroy turns down the option to volunteer for elimination, and he sends in Wes.
Kam seems to have some part in this decision, saying Leroy has to look at the bigger picture.
Kaycee also votes for Wes.
Wes looks very upset once again, which is understandable.
He also claims that hes known Leroy for 15 years, which is news to me.
Anyway, Wes and Devin are playing a game called Snapping Point.
Wes and Devin are close friends, but Devin still seems extremely fired up.
Typically when we see this game, the players are at a standstill for a significant amount of time.
But I feel like this happened in under 2 minutes.
So he picks Tori as his new partner.
She acts irritated in a way that seems exaggerated.
And Cory is content with his new partner Natalie.
