#7 - Evelyn’s Speech - The Island
For moment number 7 on this list, we’re heading to probably one of the worst seasons of The Challenge to date. HOWEVER, with that said, there was ONE moment that left such a mark on the season as a whole, to the point where it HAD to be recognized.
Spoiler Alert! This season is obviously The Island, and while almost unbearable to watch, Evelyn’s speech after she won the face-off and had to steal a key, was PRICELESS! I mean the look of disgust on Johnny’s face….? That’s enough for me.
If you don’t know the backstory on this moment (I don’t blame you), I’m happy to tell you. So basically in this season, it was the alliance of Bananas/Kenny/Derrick/Johanna/Paula/Dunbar & THEIR SHEEP vs People who couldn’t stand to sheep them (Evelyn, Kellyanne, Cohutta, etc.). Without knowing the FULL rules of how keys worked, they let Evelyn compete in the face-off, before realizing that the winner of the face-off could steal any key-holder’s key. This obviously excited Evelyn, and after she inevitably won the face-off, panic ensued on the majority’s side.
Because they were scared as hell that their keys would be stolen by Evelyn, they tried to make a side-deal with her. Basically, they approached her saying that they would MAKE SURE she had a spot on that final boat with them (basically saying she’ll have a key by finale), AS LONG as she didn’t take one of their keys. They basically made it clear that if she didn’t take Jenn or Kellyanne’s key, that she’d be screwed in the game. And while Evelyn contemplated their deal, she ultimately realized that she didn’t want to win with those people. So at the vote-off, she basically declared war on the other side and made it VERY CLEAR that she wouldn’t do what they wanted her to do, and stole Johnny Bananas’ key.
This obviously caused a rivalry between Evelyn and that whole side, but SPOILER ALERT, in the end, Evelyn got the last key and ended up sailing to victory with the people she hated (lol).
So what are your thoughts on this moment? Any guesses for other entries on this list? Comment your thoughts below!
I saw this season but dont remember the details. Why did they give Paulas spot to Ev? Did she lose her key and then won another face off and spared bananas kenny derrick?
