Lets geek out, gossip, and complain together!
Before we get into the action of episode 2, Ive already got some worries about this season.
Team U.K. is mostly rookies, and the few returning players are still basically rookies themselves.

That era is definitely over.
How in the world is Kyle the most experienced person on his team?!
But they still have the experience and athleticism to overcome that.
(Once you switch teams, you’re free to never switch back.)
I could see Team U.K. players wanting to get onto the more experienced team.
But who will be the first to make that move?
Not if youre Kyle or CT.
But enough about my predictions lets get to recapping episode 2.
Jordan calls an emergency Team U.S. meeting and lays it all out on the floor.
Wes does some sneaky fast-talking to have a go at discredit Jordan, but this time it doesnt work.
Is this the quickest that Wes secret deals have been exposed on aChallengeseason?
Should anyone be surprised he was making these deals?
This is how he always plays!
If you didnt expect it, you havent been paying attention.
The battle lines have been drawn, and Wes is clearly in need of more allies than he thought.
But what hasmemore worried is Laurel and Bear.
Girl, you’re able to do so much better!
In the group workout, Big T is not coming out well.
She will no longer be participating in this season.
Its important to note that Zahida did not quit remember that for later.
If theyre right, the cryptex will open.
Whoever gets their cryptex open first wins the challenge.
Degree of physical difficulty:Moderate.
Strong swimmers should take the far letters, unless they want to paint a target on any slower swimmers.
Degree of mental difficulty:High.
Multiple puzzles that include big words, which is a major handicap for most of these players.
Potential for drama:Low, unless greedy players dont strategize and give the closer letters to slower swimmers.
Winner:Team U.S., obviously.
Is it going to be like this all season?
Yes, Georgia, it sure seems like it.
But even extremely ill, he was still one of the top guys.
A gnarly worm cant keep him down!
His safety this week is wasted.
Kams self-nomination is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, as is her choice of Paulie.
Team U.K. is imploding already!
At nominations, Big T is voted in despite Kayleighs efforts to put the other rookies into the vote.
Her revenge backfires, though, because she wakes up the entire house, not just the partiers.
Not a good look the night before a female elimination.
She wasnt kicked out, she just decided to leave.
TJs lack of speech after revealing that speaks volumes: She quit, and TJ hates quitters.
Id be surprised if we ever see Faith again on this show.
Zahida can still come back, but Faith committed the cardinal sin ofThe Challenge.
Now thats a big move this early in the game!
It would be even bigger if Georgia were going against a stronger player, because obviously shes coming back.
No offense to Big T, but Georgia made it to a final on her first season.
Elimination challenge:Firestarter.
Players push a dumpster full of rocks with a torch toward their opponents fuse.
Whoever lights their opponents fuse first wins.
Degree of physical difficulty:High.
Degree of mental difficulty:N/A.
This one is all physical.
Potential for drama:Low.
Theres a clear winner here, and unless Big T puts up a fight this will end quickly.
Winner:Big T puts up more of a fight than anyone, myself included, expected!
She also sticks with Team U.K., which is the smart move for her.
Kam, Ashley, and Paulie better watch their backs.
Thats one alliance he should have kept secret.
Challenger of the week:Honestly?
Who would have thought she had so much fight in her?
Where was that during the first two challenges?
Im actually sad Georgia won and Big T was eliminated.
I wish we could have seen what else she has in her.
But what a way to go out!
