A Look Ahead to Episode 6

A very meaty preview to this week's episode of The Challenge.   Lets get right into it.

First and foremost, they show two off the field of battle revelations.   Looks like Ty and Paula will finally do the deed.   Nothing to see here folks, other than Ty's simmering homosexuality.  Good for Paula though, I think she has about 10 years on Ty and has never been particularly lucky with love on the show.  I think last year's championship has turned her into some kind of Challenge Cougar and that role seems to suit her.

The other is a less exciting revelation.  Our hero CT appears to be at odds with Diem again.  I think we are getting a glimpse into how big of a life suck Diem can be.   I know nobody wants to say that because she was introduced to us as the cancer victim, but she appears to be healthy and sickness doesn't mean you can just be an annoying nag all the time.   Sorry to say it - but that's my 2 cents.  Major credit to her for her battle, her survival, etc... but lets call a spade a spade.   Despite what you read everyone who dies wasn't a saint and everyone who battles cancer wasn't a princess.   Lets be real.  The Sack keeps it real.

On to the game.  An interesting competition this time around.   Looks like we are going to separate the guys and girls and have individual heats.  There appears to be a hill with a slip and slide on it.   The hill has a rope that you use to get yourself to the top of it.   On the hill is a big red ball.   My guess is we are retrieving the ball and getting it to the top of the hill.   Looks like its slippery and you might be able to get a bit physical.  Will be interesting to see what they do with team Aneesa/Rachel.   Will Rachel compete against the guys?

On second thought it wouldn't SHOCK me if they make it 1 vs 1 and the team with the best time wins.  That way there is less reason to mess with the person across from you.  And then when they have the two top teams, maybe we get some physicality.  Or they could just do it completely individual and add up each person's team.   Needless to say should be interesting to see what they do.   I do like the view of someone careening down the slip n slide.   They also show what appears to be an ON THE HILL shoving match between Paula and either Rachel or Emily.   Ty is pacing nervously, which cements my above theory.

So with all that in mind - lets take a look at who might be on the block this week.

Would seem to me that Ty and Emily should be safe.  People are sufficiently scared of them.

I would certainly think that Rachel and Aneesa would have to have a target on their back.   You'd hope that they'd either perform weakly on this particular challenge or be sent in by the power couple.

CT and Diem have been safe, but again - people are frightened of CT.

Johnny and Camila have been very strong competitors, but Camila's melt down might put them in the mix.

Pretty amazing that four of our current teams have not seen the Dome.  I think that trend is going to have to end this week.

It looks like Paula and Dunbar might have finished in the top 2... but if they don't win the power couple i can definitely see them getting thrown in.

My prediction:

Rachel and Aneesa vs Johnny and Camila.

Rachel and Aneesa go home.
