He has admitted that he leaves for months at a time and he does see the kids?

Also he has stated that the production company at Teen mom paid him more than the challenge production so...why is he there?

It's weird that he says its for the kids but...he aint winning anything. I think he is avoiding parenting. What do ya'll think?

It doesn't make sense. I think he is corny as hell with that

I’ve seen some people saying they like this season but I think it’s boring as hell. Right now I’m rewatching Dirty 30 and I can give some big reasons why new school the challenge can’t hold old the challenge’s jock strap

1. Drama. 4 episodes in there have already been 3 physical altercations. The alcohol fueled violence and drunken hostility added an exciting element. Now apparently if there’s a verbal altercation, it doesn’t even get shown and the next day there are 3 less contestants.

2. Hook ups. Cory is running rampant. The girls are topless in the pool. Obviously in other seasons there’s tons of hooking up. Often times we even see it through night vision or through a bathroom window. Nowadays you got Johnny and Lete, which apparently an actually interesting scene did happen with them, but again it’s not shown. Beyond that we have Anna Leigh and Cory essentially flirting. That’s the level of sexual material

3. Eliminations. The way this season is formatted made it so it was almost impossible for large swings to happen or power moves to be made. Each team just threw in their weakest person, that person lost, their team got smaller, they then lost the daily, rinse and repeat. In Dirty 30 someone is voted in (great) and then 3-5 people have to draw the double cross which allows them to throw someone else in. It’s completely unknown who is going in vs for the last 3 episodes of the current season they might as well have not even done the daily.

4. Backstabbing. The challenge used to be a conniving, manipulative, backstabbing game. It was part of the game and it was expected. You almost got praised for it. Now it’s so vanilla that when Lete puts Cara in the entire house loses their shit. The captains are expected to split the money equally and nobody even really considers the idea of taking it. The element of deception is gone.

5. Alcohol.

DUDEEE JORDAN FLIPPING ALL 3 CARDS 🤯 aye- he stuck to his word, 🤞🏻 Jordan wins, I’ll update after lol

The last episode made it look like Tori was contemplating stealing her teams money if orange wins. Then yesterday I saw she did a podcast with bananas. SMH. I doubt Bananas would still be cool with her if she stole his money. Sucks I hope this season can end on a bang because it really feel off towards the end.

Jordan and Tori posted together at a creator house this week. Looks like his recent ex, Diner, is now no longer following Tori on Instagram when they previously interacted fairly often… 🫖

Yes, obviously he stole money from Sarah, but that was a unique situation. Aside from that one moment, what has he ever done to be disloyal? Here are some of the debatable pieces.

Let’s also remember, this is across 24 damn seasons:

Kenny, Derrick, Evan - 100% loyal, I can’t think of anytime he ever did anything remotely dirty to any of them.

Nany - 100% loyal. People like to call out that he voted for her on Bloodlines, but Nany was already dead and I think that vote was unanimous that she went in. Nothing he could do to save her, so this would just be optics.

Leroy - 99% loyal. The one kinda dirty time was exes 2 where Leroy was basically a mercenary in the Wrecking Ball challenge to knock out Wes. He could have advocated to Sarah/Jordan to send in Jay/Jenna (or himself I guess) but he kindaaaaa let Leroy be the one to knock out Wes.

Paula/Dunbar - On the Island, but it was Kenny who offered Evelyn the deal to save Johnny and kill Dunbar. Had this not happened, Johnny is out.

The “Johnny isn’t loyal” narrative is really really really thin. Ultimately, his all time homies he’s never turned on, and the other homies are fringe cases at best. Over 24 seasons that is pretty damn loyal.

Okay now tell me why I’m wrong.

I’m not feeling Tori this season for a reason. she’s straddling a line that I think eventually will bite her in the butt.

when she said she was tempted to take all the money for herself, it made me wanna throw up.

How quickly she forgot that CT gave her and her one day deal making creepy partner Devin 100,000 when he could’ve left her with NOTHING if he had chosen to.

Love Adrienne and was so moved by her story! As soon as I finished the episode I took my ass to the gym and kept repeating her mantra - very powerful stuff. Also just she’s my favorite this season great tv, a baddie, and a challenge beast!!!

Just started season 20 🫡 first ever watch through, I feel like this season is gonna be GOOOD (might be a little biased bc I love Cara and she got out first last season so I can’t wait to see her evolve to a BEAST) I currently do nawt like Laurel (she’s very cocky but understandably so because she’s good.) but here we go! Wish me luck 💀

This format is terrible television, it is terrible for the game and it is truly bizarre. My theory is that Paramount required them to create a convoluted format that keeps the vets in the game.
