PYN TO BE TAGGED. A RANKING BLOG WILL BE POSTED AFTER VOTES ARE ANALYZED!
This isn't based on people I necessarily like but based on a dynamic cast that I think would absolutely slay the masses. (Assuming 20 people got cast, with a few double evictions and no returnees):
*Excludes members from season 7 and earlier
If lets just say Frank leaves this week I see a house becoming divided. I think one side of the house will consist of James and Natalie. James will bring in DaVonne and Natalie will bring in Bridgette. The other side of the house will consist of the two showmances Nicorey and Zaulie. That leaves Michelle, Paul, and Victor in the middle! For the time being I see Michelle staying with Nicole, Corey, Paulie, and Zakiyah seeing as she hates Bridgette, but I could see a potential flip and her becoming a dynamic player this season. Victor will more than likely follow whatever Paul does which I think would be stay with Paulie's side, however if he sees the potential that the other side has to offer since he would be on the bottom of the totem pole with Paulie, I could see him being the player who makes the big move and decides to flip!
It was so much fun and definitely way more demanding than I expected! Instead of traveling, everything was at our work behind our business. After each challenge we would have to run from one side of the long building (I promise you it was excruciatingly long) and grab a pebble from one of the three buckets with a number representing the number of the leg. So for leg 1 we have to find a pebble with the number 1 on it, for leg 2 a pebble with the number 2 on it, etc. That was the most exhausting part but some challenges were just as exhausting!
For the first challenge it was Amazing Race Trivia, and the questions were extremely easy so we ended up getting 1st. Then the next round was a challenge where you and your teammate had to run a track with only two feet on the ground at a time between the two of you with the runner being blindfolded. I was blindfolded and carried my partner on my back and we got first again because we had great communication. For the third round we had to give our partners a makeover so there was only one thing of lipstick for all teams so we gave each other lipstick right away, then we went to the tattoo portion where we had to give each other a sharpie tattoo! We had the hardest template but we weren't allowed to change once we saw what we picked! This resulted in us dropping to 2nd place!
For the fourth leg we had to carry an egg around the same track we did for the two feet at a time challenge, but the egg had to be carried between each team member's lips. Apparently my partner and I were the funniest to watch but we kept a good pace and were awkwardly thrusting each other at certain points but it all worked as we came in 2nd again. For the 5th leg (midway point) we had to take a quiz on our workplace! MY PARTNER AND I SUCKED (keep in mind we are both superiors to the majority of these people at our work place since we are both shift leads). We couldn't get some of the questions right so we dropped down to 4th place! For the 6th leg we knew we had to pick up the pace and it was a basketball challenge where we had to throw a weird basketball into a laundry basket! We got it on the first shot, but since we had the time disadvantages of being in 4th we only moved up to 2nd place!
For the 7th round we had to eat baby food! My partner has a bunch of little siblings so we thought he would destroy! We picked peas (all of them were crappy veggie flavors) because he thought they would be the best, well when we started I plowed through that food (mostly because I hadn't ate yet but it was still disgusting). When I finished my cup he was gagging and couldn't finish his so I grabbed the cup from him and finished it for him and we finally regained 1st place! The 8th leg consisted of a memory of the past legs and putting them in the correct order. My partner and I expected this challenge so we had been memorizing the whole time and got them all correct right away so we got 1st again. For the final leg we had a challenge that consisted of us memorizing random symbols on a chart on one side of the long building and our base on the other. There were 30 symbols so we had to go back and forth multiple times but it was windy so one person had to stay back at a time and watch. We sat by rocks and used those to make sure the pieces didn't fall but we miscommunicated about how the board looked (my partner fucked up) we finished the puzzle first and got the clue to where the final rocks were (a twist for the final round rather than knowing where they were) they were in the upstairs of our building based off of a riddle so we rushed and ran back and forth the upstairs and I finally found the bucket of rocks! I grabbed one and we ran downstairs and became the first winners! Second place checked in about 5 minutes after us and third place was about 3 minutes after that!
