now that i have paramount+, i've been touching up on my challenge herstory by watching all stars & binging older challenge seasons.
and as a 19 y/o who has only been watching since bloodlines, i gotta say that the cast of the older seasons were SO charming. idk, like everyone was so relaxed more relatable, and just charismatic. even villains like beth, danny, and BANANAS for fucks sake.
i've only finished gauntlet 2 & the duel so far, but i am absolutely in love with ruthie, derrick k, diem, and adam.
i now understand why people say the current seasons suck in comparison. i genuinely think adam larson is one of the most beautiful people ever. idk why, just gazing into his eyes during his confessionals was my favorite highlight of gauntlet 2. (i also can't help but notice that limp wrist too).
