The Challenge Power Rankings Week 4

Think of the weirdest fear possible?  People have a bunch of strange ones ranging from a fear of looking under the bed to grass. People are afraid of the weirdest things. For me, I always saw it as a cry for attention from adults and their peers. We learned last week, Jemmye is afraid of ketchup also known as mortuusequusphobia (Thanks MTV for naming this episode).  This is by far the strangest fear I have heard of to date.

I realize people hate ketchup and would kill you if you put it on a hot dog, but there is no reason to be scared of it. Odds are she ate ketchup in different recipes throughout the year without knowing it. Although her getting mad at Knight for putting ketchup on her might be the pinnacle of 'Dumbest Challenge fights.' I have seen some dumb ones in my day, but this is by far the dumbest. Hell of a way to work out post-breakup problems..

12.) Jasmine & Theresa:  Last Week - 11. - Yes they have finally made the last spot. They were the only team to disqualify from the Challenge, Jasmine seems to be there for a simple one-liner and Theresa is just hanging around. They will not last very much longer.

11.) Ty & Leroy: LW 10.) -  I do not think they are on the chopping block and ranked 11 is probably low honestly, but right now, the women are dominating these rankings. Leroy decided to not deal with Jemmye who freaks out if she gets ketchup on her is probably the right idea. If you have anyone other than Leroy in the 'Challenge member I want to drink 20 beers with', you are doing it wrong. It would be a great time.

10.) Cooke & Cara Maria: LW - 12. - Yes, the last ranked team gets moved up a little bit due to their scheming in the last episode. They tried their damnedest to stay out of The Jungle despite being underdogs dealing with Aneesa and Diem, two women who have played the game for a long time. It seems like there is some longstanding beef with Cara Maria and the rest of the world which I do not really understand. Also she talking about having a battery pack for her nipples in the bedroom is the least surprising thing ever.

9.) Zach and Trey: LW 4.) - Why such a fall?  Honestly, next week's preview tells me they might be the lead discussion of the rankings, but they lack depth as a team in general.  Trey is not involved with a woman right now or starting any shit. Same goes for Zach meaning there is no real reason to have them near the top especially since they are not winning now.

8.) Nany & Jonna: LW 8.) - Both of the ladies on this team made some moves with the fellas at the beginning of the episode. Jonna involved with Jordan which I would be careful if I were Jordan for two reasons:  1.) Her ex-boyfriend kicked her out of their house for God knows what and 2.) Zach and her fooled around in the last Challenge, don't need to get The Hulk angry for no real reason. Nany is trying to set Tonya's record of getting involved with as many cast members as possible.

7.) Preston & Knight: LW 9.) -  While they could be heading home tonight, they still move up a couple spots because they seem to be a focus of the last couple episodes, more so Knight than Preston. The Wisconsin resident is the pesky younger brother of The Challenge household.

6.) Johnny Bananas & Frank: LW 3.) - They did not do much this week except Frank making a joke about a wet pole which was more expected than the Biogenesis suspensions.

5.) Camila & Jemmye: LW 6.) -  We talked a great deal about Jemmye but I am happy she is finally showing her first-round talent. It is like having a rookie disappoint in their first year and start developing mid-way through their second season.  Freaking out over a ketchup phobia gets you invited for at least the next two Challenges and this will not be the last time someone tries to rattle her cage using ketchup at a Challenge.

4.) Aneesa & Diem: LW 5.) - IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEND DIEM'S ACTUAL RAP TO SNOTAP. PLEASE EMAIL: SNOTAP12@GMAIL.COM. THANKS!!!!

3.) Jordan & Marlon: LW 7.) - "These rookies are for real." CT says this after they win the Challenge this week. We saw last year two rookies (Zach and Frank, let's forget about the others) come through the game and win it all in the least popular champions in quite some time. These two look like they are not going away for a long time. Are these four basically The Challenge's version of Bill Barnwell's Gang of Four in the NFL? I am going to say yes.  

2.) CT & Wes: LW 2.) - The fact CT seemed legitimately excited to watch someone get electrocuted is somewhat scary but makes him the absolute best. Additionally, CT saying he still wants to punch Wes in the face and I am convinced it will happen at the end of their time in Thailand. There is also daily meditations with CT on MTV. I am dead serious.  

1.) Emily & Paula: LW 1.) -  Yaaay they won again. Alabama football of Challenge teams. But  let's talk about Paula for a second, she bitches about Cara Maria not being supposed to be there but whose the one that has been at every Challenge this decade? Oh yeah that's you, do something else, your clock is up Ms. Walnuts.
