Well, a month-and-a-half after All Stars ended, here are the scores! Some of us just caught up last week… some of us STILL aren’t caught up. Next season we better get back on track and get the scoring and watching up to speed. Are we slowing down in our old age? Heavens no! Right?
Overall, it was a very weird season with twelve “finalists” — out of twenty-two total contestants — and very low drama all around. It was certainly exciting to see so many familiar faces and refreshing to see everyone be (mostly) nice to each other. Nearly all of the bonus points came from puking from the eating portions of the show. There was only one on-screen kiss — between Laterrian and Aneesa — and just one person who got booted/quit.
Still, this was a great season, as watching people similarly aged to us struggle — and conquer — through challenges was a thrill. I found myself enjoying All Stars more than Double Agents, which was concurrently airing. What did you guys think?
And now, no more beating around the bush…. who won?!
Coming in last place, it was George, who saw Ace eliminated episode one — replaced by Beth on her roster — and then Teck two episodes later. Kim fare a little better, having KellyAnne reach the finals, but with Arissa quitting and Syrus limping out of his elimination, Kim’s team couldn’t reach further up than second-to-last.
Our recent Double Agents champion, Roger, came in fifth place, with Nehemiah and Jisela making their mark points-wise but Derrick being surprisingly quiet all season long. While Derrick did make the finals — I mean, who didn’t? — he and Jisela were the first ones out after the first water leg of TJ’s Final.
Susan actually had two contestants make the finals too, in Mark and Big Easy, but Trishelle getting eliminated back in EP2 really hurt her potential to get higher in our standings. Or should I say “Jon’s Standings?!”
That leaves three finalists for this nine-episode. Would it be Yasmine, eight-time winner and the greatest fantasy Challenge player in history? Or would it be Jon, our laggy commissioner and blogger? Perhaps it would be Victor, who has now promised to never leave mid-draft again because auto-draft is not a thing. Drumroll please…!!!
- Jon (86)
- Victor (84)
- Yasmine (75)
- Susan (69)
- Roger (64)
- Kim (55)
- George (41)
In the end, it was Jon who takes the All Stars title, with a very narrow two point win over Victor. Yes, it was Aneesa’s kiss, or her many many tears, that took Jon to the title. Shockingly, Jonna performed as well as Ruthie all season, and then the MVP for Jon’s season was the much maligned Aneesa, who tied with Kendal for top points scored this season.
For Victor, losing Kendal was a huge blow, even if Alton and Jemmye did their best to capture another championship for him. Yasmine’s late burst to third place, powered by Yes’ win and both he and Darrell’s top-two finish were exciting but also not quite enough to take her to another win.
Serious question: Should Aneesa start being valued as a top player? She cries, she makes out, she never gets eliminated without a whole lot of emotional upheaval. Should MTV be advertising Aneesa more?!
- Aneesa / Kendal (34)
- Eric(32)
- KellyAnne / Yes (30)
- Mark / Darrell (30)
- Ruthie / Jonna / Nehemiah / Jemmye (26)
Overall, this was Jon’s fourth title — Rivals III, War of the Worlds 2, Total Madness, All Stars — and three wins in the past four seasons. He now surpasses HT for second all-time in championships, and is now close on the heels of Yasmine…. okay not really. But we must dream right?! Congrats to Jon!
