The Challenge Power Rankings Week 2

Being a rookie in this game can sometimes work out for you, but usually it ends bad like it did for Anastasia. She might be returning next year because she brought the noise in the first two episodes when it came to dramatic moments with her making out with CT after he had been canoodling with Diem, and then went on a complete rant against CT for lying to her.  She made this big scene and by the time of The Jungle, it was clear...She wanted no part of The Challenge house.

She started complaining of dizziness and looked completely weak to the competition. She basically mailed it much to the dismay of host TJ Lavin, and ensured she would be leaving Thailand thus not facing CT again until the next Challenge. To see how the ones still surviving are doing, let's head to the rankings.

14.) Preston & Knight:  Last Week: 10.) - It is pretty clear that this team might be the next ones on the chopping block. Preston does not seem like he even wants to be here, and Knight is just trying to make it through. I LOVE LOVE the fact Knight and CT are basically like tag team partners. Might be my favorite duo since the New Age Outlaws.

13.) Jasmine & Theresa: LW: 13.) - Another yawn worthy performance from these girls. I expected more from them, but it is still extremely early in the game.

12.) Cooke & Cara Maria: LW: Unranked - The Rivals crew hated Cara Maria choice as much as I do. I am not sure if they wanted another competitor like an Ev as we talked about last week, or just another person they like to drink with. I am assuming the latter. Cara Maria can always start up some shit in the house though.

11.) Jordan & Marlon: LW: 14.) - Always like to see the rookies making waves with the veteran castmates in the house. Jordan talked at great lengths about Sarah during the entire show, and mentioned 'She is type of girl you marry, but that's not what Jordan wants although she's nice to have around.'  I do not understand that phrase at all from Jordan start to finish including the douchtastic third person use.  They obviously got it on, and the first non-CT couple to watch.  

10.) Nany & Jonna: LW: 9.) - They almost finished last in the Challenge which would have earned them a straight ticket to The Jungle. I want to believe this is a strong team, but I feel like you are seeing two people who are great with a four-person team, but weak when it's just two.  

9.) Leroy & Ty LW: 6.) -  They really have not brought much to table yet besides Roy Lee talking down CT from choking Marlon under water.  I assume they will come back strong and some point be near the top of the rankings.  

8.) Derek & Robb LW 4.) - They are basically the team in college football that beats a highly ranked team in the first week and get ranked high then they never get back there for the rest of the year.

7.) Jemmye & Camila LW: 11.) - Let's introduce the Camila Crazy Scale.... We were at a one after the first week and now we are at about a six. She started freaking out during the actual Challenge because their team was struggling mightily. Stay tuned for movements in the scale.

6.) Trishelle & Sarah: LW: 8.) - Does anyone know where this CT and Trishelle beef started from? Knowing CT and knowing Trishelle, I have to think it stems from a hookup situation gone wrong, right? Now I cannot remember if we had one on the actual Challenge, but multiple castmates do nightclub events all over the country where they just get drunk so you never know.

5.) Aneesa & Diem LW 7.) - A couple years ago, Mark and Robin stayed around way longer than expected and maybe this will happen again. Diem is basically in flux with CT because honestly, he is the only one whom seems to know her problems and from her preservative, she feels a responsibility to control CT. Diem and CT storyline will continue until one of them is eliminated; it is pretty clear it's a theme of this season.

 4.) Johnny Bananas & Frank LW 2.) - Frank had his first yelling match of the year. Not surprisingly, it was with CT.  Now I am not saying I did not enjoy it, but I would like to see Frank feuding with someone else to get another person involved in the storyline. We need some fresh beef, guys.  

3.) Zach & Trey LW 3.) - They keep winning Challenges or as I call it, the only guys who actually give a shit about the Challenges.  

2.) CT & Wes  LW 5.) - BIG WEEK for CT.  He could not have been more involved with this episode. We mentioned him with about five different teams. CT needs to be in every Challenge season moving forward, but you knew that already. Totally weak effort from Wes, but sneaky smart only because I have no idea what the Challenge timing is like for them.  Do they do these Challenges every other day?  If so, that's a GENIUS move by Wes.  TJ Lavin hated this move.

1.) Paula & Emily LW 1.) - They might not leave this number one spot for the whole year. I called CT 'Alabama' of Challenges, but that might be only in the drama department. This might be the Alabama of the Challenge. They look unbeatable.
