Brad and Kyle are having a pow-wow in the kitchen about their mutual distaste for Paulie’s antics. Kyle thinks the Britni lie will make Brad unstable, but the truth is you’re both unstable. We all are, that’s why we’re here. This is where we get my favorite part of the episode, without watching the rest of the episode. Brad suggests on national television to “SEND LETTERS TO THE LAWYERS, IF HE WANTS IT THAT BAD, FIND A PROMOTER!”

*** SOMEONE FIND A PROMOTER I NEED THIS, AND THE ROAD FILMED TRAVELING TO IT!!! PAULIE VS. BRAD. I AM SCREAMING!!! I’m starting a petition immediately.

We head over to another perfect match scene with BanAngela. Johnny plays the super “victim” letting us know that being with him is “a death sentence.” This makes me giggle as the first thing that came to mind was a quote from one of my all-time favorite movies, Mean Girls. “Don’t have sex, because you will get pregnant and die!” Run Angela, RUN! He’s not talking about the game!

The next day, the real question is “DO YOU WORK OUT?” I love this scene. It’s fun. It almost makes me wish I agreed to work out ever… almost. At the gym we get a glimpse at what Joss’s personal fitness sessions are like, and I’m having an anxiety attack imagining I was in Sylvia’s position. Sylvia says, “Joss can’t just stand there looking pretty,” and then Joss immediately reminds us, in an adorable interview about how he works out a lot, that yes, yes he can just stand there and look pretty. In fact, he can sit, lay, climb, swim, get naked, whatever he wants, all while looking pretty. I think we can all agree that we’re all here for more SLOSS!

Outside on the balcony, CT is complaining again that he has Veronica as a partner, and it’s getting old. There’s clearly a history here between them since they’re both legends in the Challenge franchise. You’ve been DADDing for the last few years so they had to dig deep to find a vendetta. You’re lucky to have V, and so are we. I too, say yes to the gym when I feel like it. Unfortunately, I just never feel like it. We get you, V. Getting there is the hardest part! I say no to the gym and yes to wine all the time. Too each their own, CT! Let Veronica live.

It’s a beautiful day for flexing outside as we get a serious moment of Brad questioning Jozea about what really happened in the Redemption house. Brad lets us know he’s trying to process the Britni situation, as well as the pre-workout he just chugged. Jozea tells Brad that Britni’s actions with Chuck would be grounds for termination if she was his girlfriend. I’m pretty sure Jozea doesn’t swing that way, so you may want a second opinion on that, Brad. What you really need is a Xanax and a phone call with Brit.

Faith and Nelson find themselves alone talking about Kayleigh/Nelson. Important note: Kayleigh is in very close proximity to this interaction. This is where Nelson is doing it WRONG. He knew Kayleigh was interested in his relationship with Faith, and he chose to sit outside with her alone while Kayleigh was right down below. I get you, Kayleigh. I’d be bothered. If you say you wouldn’t, you’re lying. Faith lets us know that she can tell Nelson is sexually frustrated, and so can I as he adjusts himself at the end of the scene.

Rookies have a team huddle and let us know (with more than one confessional worth) that rookies need to stick together. Great idea. Do bears also sh*t in the woods? This isn’t some new brilliant concept, people, the term “fresh meat” exists for a reason. All five rookies have made an impact on he show thus far, and I can’t say that I hate it (although I really want to hate it). Now that the Bad Girls have teamed up with Big Brother and BanAngela is a thing, does this make them an alliance? Like Bananas whimpered earlier, a connection to him is a death sentence, so will this be fruitful? #punintended

We follow Davonne downstairs where she is telling myself, Cara, and Tori that they have some secret information from the Redemption house footage, and we are freaking out. I remember running through my head who I talked sh*t about, and it was mostly Cara. Hopefully I’m in the clear. Day had all of us truly thinking they had some Big Brother type feeds in the Redemption house. She’s HILARIOUS and smart.

We get to the Challenge, and TJ tells us it’s a purge. This means whoever loses goes directly into the Redemption house with the other losers, Paulie and Natalie. I hate these challenges. The name of the game for me, and everyone else really, is “don’t finish last.” BTW this whole challenge is complete BS and don’t give me that “but aren’t you a feminist” sh*t. Yes, I am a female, at a disadvantages to my male counterparts based on size alone. Bullsh*t.

Heat Breakdowns

Joss/Sylvia Vs. Zach/Amanda: Joss leaves Sylvia behind, and she falls early. Joss is hoping someone recorded that so he can put it on his next Insta story. #fitness Zach surprises everyone and doesn’t complete this obstacle course that seems built for him, but his partner Amanda does. Joss and Amanda celebrate their accomplishment with a kiss, while their partners fall hard in a different type of way.
