Best Out of... Challenges = FAIL |

I'm watching episode two of China, with that fabulous clothes-less mud-wrestling challenge. Unfortunately, Jean-Robert's fatass ruined the challenge by winning on the second round, eliminating a chance to see Courtney take down Peih-Gee. All of those best out three/ best out whatever RC's need to be fixed: the tribe to win the best out of 3 wins a partial reward, but if they win all of them they get something even better... and the audience wins by not having the decent challenges cut short. |

Actually Todd sat out.
Personally, I'd rather see more of the strategy/camp life than waste time on challenges. When around half the episode is spent on challenges...that's when things start to suck. |

The main ones that come to mind are the mud-tug-o-war and the sumo at sea challenges... like didnt they only show highlights or something? Cant wait til the Tocantins immunity challenge: BEST-OUT-OF-37 WINS IMMUNITY. Long challenges can FOAD |

Some challenges can be the best part of an episode. If you have an obvious boot and a great challenge (say the vertical maze) then the challenge has a chance
to be the best part.
It is admittedly quite rare... |

I'm pretty sure China had the best challenges ever.

Mmhmm. I forgot how wonderful the were until I rewatched it. The non-water seasons have to be more creative, and China took that creativity in a good direction. Unlike Fiji, which had.... Battleship. |

Personally, I think it's boring to see one tribe win a best of _ challenge in only two rounds. It ruins the suspense.

That violent capture the sandbag in Micronesia would've been awesome if it had gone best of 3 like intended, if only so we could focus less on Cirie and
Penner becoming assholes.

Unlike Fiji, which had.... Battleship. Fiji's Slip-n-slide > every China challenge. I see the flaw with these kind of challenges but I like that they give the underdogs tribes a chance to get a few minor victories. If there's one or two guys on one tribe who overshadow everyone on the other, things tend to go predictably. if only so we could focus less on Cirie and Penner becoming assholes. I thought the only purpose of All-Stars seasons is to watch good contestants turn into assholes. |

Kitty Pryde1 wrote:Exactly. At least there'd be a little bit more of suspense in seeing whether the tribe who won the first two will win the third round and get to send two people to Exile or some such added bonus. The idea behind challenges that go in rounds is a good concept, but it just makes for bad TV when one tribe wins the first two rounds in a good challenge. |

Peih-Gee vs. Courtney would've been the funniest match-up EVER.
