Challenge Power Rankings Week 11

Yes another season of The Challenge is upon us. Hard to believe this is their 25th season of it.  We are doing the rankings like we usually do starting from the worst making our way to the top.  We will rank them every Thursday. Preseason rankings will definitely change next week because we will know a lot more about the season.  

10.) Cara Maria, LW 10.) - As we know this is probably curtains for Cara Maria. If she pulls it out in a wall climbing mission with a broken finger, I will be amazed. She milked her injury and situation in the most disappointing way possible. Cara might be the next Sarah or Paula where she gets close, but no cigar.

9.) Leroy, LW 8.) - Leroy avoided The Draw for pretty much the entire time until the final two missions leading up to the Final. He will now have to face CT. If Leroy ends up winning here, it will be a Villanova beating Georgetown-like upset.

8.) Devyn, LW 7.) - It is pretty incredible to see her in the final mission. Devyn admitted to the cameras if she went to The Draw, she would have been finished. Instead, she gets a Final appearance on her Challenge stat sheet which is incredible. (Also I spelled Devyn this whole season wrong because I am a goddamn buffoon and no help to all of you who have read this blog.)

7.) Johnny, LW 9.) - Another guy getting the fortunate bounce of avoiding The Draw for the entire tournament. How does this happen?  Is he just a nice guy that no one really feels threaten by therefore no one wants to send him in? I like Johnny, but he is in no way deserving of the final. I would have liked to see him challenged a little bit more.

6.) Theresa, LW 6.) - Easily, my breakout star of The Challenge on the female side of things. Sure, Cara Maria deserves some credit for her performance, but Theresa was always someone who would have one freakout, early exit and leave. She put all together for a good campaign.

5.) CT, LW 3.) - I didn't like to see CT campaign for himself especially when Bananas knew all along he was throwing CT into The Draw. I also didn't like CT playing the nice guy by telling Cara to pick him when he knows if it is him and Laurel, they are likely winning or coming damn close.

4.) Laurel, LW 2.) - What a fall from grace for BAWSE LADY LAUREL. Not a good couple of weeks for her. She completely mismanaged the situation with Cara Maria even though they are cool now if you check out social media. It is clear she doesn't have her head in the game. I expect her to win tonight, but man, she isn't the same player as she was to start the year.

3.) Johnny Bananas, LW 5.) - Michael Jordan of The Challenge is making his push towards the top. I don't know if Bananas has enough to make it through the entire Final, but he will contend for the title like he has so many times before. This is why we need Challenge stats though. I would love to know how many finals Bananas has been in.

2.) Nany, LW 4.) - First time this season, Laurel isn't the top female. Nany is gaining momentum, and I am starting to believe she could win this damn thing. She has enough smarts combined with the will to win. I could totally see it.

1.) Zach, LW 1.) -  I think this is his Challenge to lose honestly. Zach seems like the biggest, fastest and strongest player left in the game plus the idea of him being alone in the mountains seems to suit him well.
