Episode 6 is in the books and I decided to focus on the 10 Biggest moments/takeaways from the sixth episode. Since you’re Challenge fans reading this, I figure you likely have watched the episode already. These will be integral storylines that the sixth episode focused on. I’ll breakdown why they matter for the season.

Honorable Mentions:

CT is the captain and a floater

Bear is still a wanker

Kyle’s impending doom?

Kayleigh’s spotless political game

10 What would a new viewer think of Turbo?

Because most Challenge fans watched War of the Worlds 1, we have a conception of what Turbo can do as a competitor and how he acts. His approval rating following his rookie season was at an all-time high.

Fast-forward to this season, and he’s been incredibly quiet on a loud team. He has not stood out in any of the daily challenges; in fact, one could argue he has looked like one of the worst players in the game as he did not participate in the word puzzle or the trivia (in his defense, it is in English). However, he did have the worst male swimming time on the US team besides Leroy (not much of a bar). I like Turbo, but if someone were only to watch this season, they’d wonder why Turbo is on the show.

The good news is he seems to hate Jordan, and they could come to blows next week based on the teaser trailer.

9 Kam the Schemer

Kam’s game reminds me so much of Wes. She makes these big moves that put a target on her back. They are high leverage moves which give her a better chance of winning but get her thrown into elimination. Likewise, they both excel in the subtle parts of the social and political game. When Leroy becomes the speaker, Kam knows she needs to rekindle their past connection to further her game. By getting in everyone’s ear, Kam can make her desires the group desire.

When the paper trails get tracked back, Kam could get thrown in easily. If not, she is dandy. Kam has gone into 9 eliminations in three seasons. Her big moves are impressive, but she needs to figure out how to put blood on the hands of her allies instead of her.
