I understand their choice to have the blind choice in order to lengthen the season. They want at least 10 episodes, and with only 10 couples you need to have weeks without eliminations to get to that magic number.

My problem with the Blind Choice comes from the fact that we do not get to see the results of the Blind Steal, and while they were most likely shares, it feels better to know and only annoys us that we do not find out. Keeping it secret only leads to lies or delayed truth, which does not create true drama as everyone is still safe.

How would I fix it? Easy, show the outcome, then tell the people it was a Blind Choice week. So when they see the steal or double steal and get told nobody is being eliminated, everyone is shook. To add to that, I would add that if a team chooses to steal, their bank account should get cut in half, and dispersed to the teams still in the game. And if there is a double steal, keep them in the game, and give the money to all of the teams besides the one that finished in last. RAISE THE STAKES.

I love this show, and while steals are cool, any way you can raise the stakes of the game will add excitement to the show. Jump the shark when you can and do it the right way. It’s a game of honesty and lying, let people snake and burn themselves.

FINAL 4 Post Script:

The final four are all great teams. Devin and Adam have the experience on the Challenge, Devin is the smartest guy, where Adam is the best athlete. Shanley and Tori are super competitive athletically, each are incredibly conditioned, which makes me excited for Tori’s appearance on Season 30 of the Challenge. Hoping we can get Shanley one day. Cameron and Mikala’s main strength is that they were in an actual relationship, though it has somewhat been a weakness lately. Rashida and Morgan happen to be around.
