Been lurking for awhile now and had to finally sign up to say my piece about Nia. She's been getting WAAAAY too much credit with no credentials to back it up. She's what you call an overachiever. She's the tallest female to ever be on these shows. From what I've gathered she also has an athletic background, but I wouldn't have known seeing her perform. The best way to put it is, she's the female Ty. She has the LOOK, the ATTITUDE, the CONFIDENCE, but hasn't proved anything at all. For someone to be as long and lanky as her, it made 0 sense that Nany got to the bell first and almost got to it last. Also this last elimination, it shouldn't have took someone Nia's size 2 hours to take out Averey. NO way. Make all the arguments you want, but size matters in most physical games. Because Nia is so visible and active in social media she has all her little minions rooting for her and giving her all this credit she doesn't deserve. I don't hate the girl, I just dislike the praise she's been getting for accomplishing NOTHING.
I don't think I could ever go spoiler free again haha. When I first started watching the show I didn't look at spoilers but I remember midway through the Duel I googled spoilers and ever since then I have to know lol.
I think season 27 will change your mind a bit.
1) It'll be worth going spoiler free.
2) Spoilers may be slightly harder to come by.

I agree that she's underachieved given what she should be capable of and Ty is a fair comparision thus far but Nany getting "half done" first is meaningless...she couldn't finish--Nia could

This is true but I'd still rather know the outcome ahead of time

Why do you say that? We don't know the cast or theme yet lol

Only cuz she got stuck lol
It is completely her fault that she got stuck...he lacked the strength to continue. 100% on Nany--pathetic.
But it didn't look like Nany gassed out or lacked the ability to go on, she kept trying to move and wasn't even out of engery yet. I agree that it was odd how close it was before Nany got stuck since I would have thought Nia would have done better, but Nia still beat her so kudos.
I also thought it was odd how in the FA final Laurel and Nany were VERY close in climbing that mountain.
I agree, It didn't see like Nany was gassed out at all. It really seemed like she was just frustrated because she was stuck and she knew there was nothing she could do. Nia/Nany both did well in that elimination. I would have liked to see if Nany would have beat Nia f she didn't get stuck.

None of us know how and why she was stuck and it looked like she was trying everything she could and still couldn't get free. It's a decent excuse. Either way, Nia got off easy.

She lacked the strength to move it...there's no such thing as "getting stuck"...she didn't have the strength. I assure you Nia gets out of that without a problem. Nany failed to maintain momentum and we saw the result.
I remember after Portland finished I thought Nia could be an elite girl with her size and volleyball background. Guess I was wrong but she's a solid second tier competitor.

There's no such thing as an excuse. Nia finished--Nany didn't.
At this point you look bias. You made great points but the fact you can't acknowledge this makes it seem as though you're just anti-Nia.

I disagree, Nany is a tough/strong girl and I think it was one of those situations where there was nothing she could do. I don't think Nia is as strong as people would think her to be. I think she has a lot of potential but IMO Nany has proven to be a better competitor even though Nia won that elimination.

There's always an excuse, sometimes they're valid, other times not. In this case, it's somewhere in the middle. I'm just giving Nany the benefit of the doubt. She definitely didn't just gas out or wasn't strong enough to get through it. The strap could've been caught directly in between a loose branch. She literally couldn't move and tried everything and it was out of her control. Can't take away that Nia finished. My overall point about Nia is you look at a girl with her size and attitude and you would expect her to dominate in these games like a Laurel but she's not even close to that level but seems to have this unearned reputation of being a great competitor.

We completely disagree regarding Nany. Nany's better at missions but it didn't surprise me at all she couldn't finish. It was surprising she got completely 3/4ths of it IMO

There's no such thing as a valid excuse in competiton. Overcome--don't make excuses. You find a way.
We largely agree regarding Nia. The Nany part was just not a good argument.
Nia isn't even close to Emily on Cutthroat--which is a problem

That's has never been the case , no matter thecast spoilers always get leaked lol
I love nia and leroy but they both have their flaws in the game just like every one else does. Leroy was the one who got the answers wrong,couldn't swim, lost thier bag,and couldn't unscrew the tits thing(smh) .Nia figured the puzzle out ,had no problems swimming,also got all her answers right,and she managed to unscrew the stick thing(smh). Nia is great at missions but just lacks drive when it comes to eliminations.Leroy is great during the eliminations but sucks during missions.
so I like the hinting at a challenge this summer. I hope Averey and Laurel are both on it. I want to see how Averey performs and vibes with the cast (hope she and Nany make up) and Laurel guarantees good television just by being herself and so fierce IMO.
hope there's no partners or duels. I would like to see a good two big teams going against each other old school. More possible first place winners, and inner team drama Gauntlet/inferno style. In fact, why not do good guys vs bad ***** again?
Soweee
I let it go--I can't use reason here so I stopped
Lol at Simone being able to beat anyone but Brittany.

wait...what?

She didn't mess up on any on the missions. leroy was the one to mess up on every mission.
I really don't want to see Laurel again unless its old vs new.
And if she wasn't with Leroy she would've been home. Take the good with the bad.....
I really don't mind Laurel, but I will say she doesn't really make good TV IMO.
There's no middle of the pack with you guys, I see. It's either elite or Casey.
I know right?
