American Idol 15: Top 25- Group 1 Results and Power Rankings

For the first time ever, former Idols performed a duet with the current contestants. And the result was a mixed bag. Selecting songs that they performed on the show or their own, the current singers were forced to sing songs that didn't always sit right. And for those who got lucky, it was a fantastic showcase of talent. Here's how this batch of 12 faired. 

#1) La’Porsha Renae (with Fantasia)

“Summertime” by George Gershwin

This is the one instance where starting with the Idol worked as it brought great anticipation for La’Porsha once she began singing. There's not much to say. It was a great performance. Dare I say La’Porsha beats Fantasia?

Score: 9

#2) Thomas Stringfellow (with Nick Fradiani)

“Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson

What a great song choice! It was what sealed Nick’s journey to the top. Thomas has a distinct voice and you either love it or hate it. And I happen to be a fan. This was a breakout performance for him. They played well off of one another. Say what you will, but something extraordinary has happened to Nick Fradiani since we first met him a year ago.

Score: 8.5

#3) Jordan Sasser (with Fantasia)

“I Believe” by Fantasia

Jordan was in his own world during his solo moments but he blended well with Fantasia when they sang as one. But again, this is her song and always will be. He really was the featured one in the pair.

Score: 8

#4) Gianna Isabella (with Nick Fradiani)

“Beautiful Life” by Nick Fradiani

This song was perfect for Nick. And shockingly, this worked wonders for Gianna. It helped redeemed her from her previous performance. So maybe this is just a great song. Playing in the harmonies was a smart choice for Gianna as it showed off her upper register. She was a bit pitchy but she had fun.

Score: 8

#5) Mackenzie Bourg (with Lauren Alaina)

“I Hope You Dance” by Leanne Womack

Ew song. Mackenzie's got a fine voice but this was not a good song for him to work with. Also, if Lauren was on the show now, she has a fighting chance to actually do well. Talk about growth! But we’re here for the little one, Mackenzie. And he’s a bit awkward in duet form. They were cute in their package but that's not what they were there to do.

Score: 7.5

#6) Jenna Renae (with Scotty McCreery)

“See You Tonight” by Scotty McCreery

Scotty done grow up! Due to the nature of the song, Jenna is forced to be the featured artist rather than showcase her in, you know, HER competition. When she does get her chance, it’s a bit pitchy. And that’s a shame.

Score: 7.5

#7) Jeneve Rose Mitchell (with Scotty McCreery)

“Gone” by Montgomery Gentry 

It’s a perfect pair for her. This is the style that she should be doing. But she’s just a little much for my liking. Can we talk about this outfit too? Who is dressing her?

Score: 7

#8) Stephany Negrete (with Ruben Studdard)

“Superstar” by The Carpenters

What a boring song. While it shows off her voice, it does nothing to redeem her from the previous performance. Such a shame.

Score: 6.5

#9) Emily Brooke (with Lauren Alaina)

“Flat on the Floor” by Carrie Underwood

Lauren Alaina finally sounds like a legit singer! Emily is completely lost next to Lauren. She looks like a featured artist rather than a potential winner. Her voice is thin, and Lauren Alaina is not a powerhouse.

Score: 6.5

#10) Sonika Vaid (with Caleb Johnson)

“Skyfall” by Adele

I really hate this song. Compared to Adele, Sonika’s voice is underwhelming. When Caleb gets more love from the audience, it’s a bad sign for Sonika. Overall, a bad pairing that was simply boring and downright weird.

Score: 6

#11) James VII (with Caleb Johnson)

“Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones

Woah hey there hair. Worst combo ever. Leatherman jacket? James' voice is very specific and not nearly as powerful as Caleb. And that’s not good when the camera pans into Caleb at the end and not him. 

Score: 6

#12) Avalon Young (with Ruben Studdard)

“Flying Without Wings” by Ruben Studdard

Well, the song has returned and Rub don’t sound so good on it. It’s likely in a different key? And I totally zoned out. This is Ruben’s song no matter what and Avalon is lost. When they harmonize, she’s great but solo, she fails miserably.

Score: 6

The judges have to save SEVEN and eliminate FIVE from this group. Leaving the competition are:

Emily Brooke

James VII

Jenna Renae

Jordan Sasser

Stepany Negrete

I'm pretty fine with most of these. Jordan had a great story so it's a shock that he's gone this soon. But for me, loosing Jenna is a travesty. After her performance of "My Church", I thought she'd be the country queen of the season. 

Power Rankings (after 2 performances)

#1) La’Porsha Renae- 18 points

#2) Thomas Stringfellow- 17 points

#3) Mackenzie Bourg- 15.5 points

#4) Gianna Isabella- 15 points

#5) Sonika Vaid- 13.5 points

#6) Avalon Young- 12.5 points

#7) Jeneve Rose Mitchell- 12 points

American Idol 15: Top 24 Group 1- Power Rankings

It's the farewell season of American Idol and I gotta admit, I'm a little sad! As if anyone is surprised, American Idol is changing up the formula to say good bye. This year, we get two rounds of 12 performers for the Top 24 where the JUDGES will determine who gets cut. It took them 15 seasons to finally institute this. Just imagine the people who never would have made the finals had this been in place years ago (I have a LONG list!). There are basically two performances each before the judges cut. First is the solo and then a duet with a former Idol. Unlike other shows, for American Idol, I give each contestant a score each week and will add them up as the season goes on. The criteria I look for is performance, song choice, and marketability. We're searching for America's next superstar so I need to know who they will be. These are the Power Rankings of Group 1 after the first night of competition.

#1) La’Porsha Renae

“Proud Mary” by Tina Turner

She’s got pipes! La’Porsha fits a type that has constantly been seen on this show (from Jennifer Hudson to LaKisha Jones to Candice Glover). But for whatever reason, we’re only seeing La'Porsha now. Put her in an earlier season and she would have had a great chance of winning. As she does now. Her personality is infectious. Her stage presence is fun.  And she has a daughter with giant headphones in the audience! This was a strong song choice for this round. We heard her potential in a song that was not a ballad. Smart move girly. 

Score: 9

#2) Jenna Renae

“My Church” by Maren Morris

PERFECT SONG SELECTION! Jenna rocked it OUT! If you know me you know how much I'm obsessed with this song and how great it is. She will be a star regardless of this show. This was a perfect showcase of talent and personality. There wasn’t much of a connection to the song but you can forgive it because you can see the potential in her. 

Score: 9

#3) Thomas Stringfellow

“Creep” by Radiohead

This kid IS special. Is he the winner? It’s too soon to say but he gave a performance that will be talked about. He will certainly win over the teen girls with his pure tenor and natural charm. Thomas is talented and picked a really great song for him. There was a connection that offered some flavor in his vocals. 

Score: 8.5

#4) Mackenzie Bourg

“Say Something” by Great Big World 

Mackenzie works the guitar and quirky factor. He's clearly grown since his time on that other singing show. He’s on a track to go pretty far. Mackenzie has the charm that will win the audience over, both male and female. Though he changed up the song, occasionally singing the harmony lines, I’m not sure this song was the best choice for this point in the competition. It shows off his songwriter vibes and his contemporary spin, but it just lacked the oomph. 

Score: 8

#5) Jordan Sasser

“All By Myself” by Celine Dion

Jordan Sasser isn’t afraid to take a risk in song choice. This is a diva song. He made it fit him. Was it the best performance we’ve seen so far? Certainly not. But when he hit that glory note, he proves he has potential. Oh and his daughter and the giant headphones? Can we talk about that? Because it lost me for a solid ten seconds. Not his fault but still. 

Score: 8

#6) Sonika Vaid

“Safe & Sound” by Taylor Swift featuring the Civil Wars

She has a pretty voice, no doubt about it, but is she too young? Perhaps. There’s a purity to Sonika's stage presence and would be an important person in the world of pop music. But I don’t think I know who she really is as an artist just yet. There's room to grow and she'll likely move to the next round but if she is one of those who picks ballad after ballad, she will get old fast.

Score: 7.5

#7) Gianna Isabella

“I Put a Spell on You” by Annie Lenox 

Well that’s an interesting song choice to start for the daughter of Brenda K. Starr (they've gotta stop reminding of that and let her be on her own). While it does showcase some personality, it doesn’t quite constitute a stand and sing performance. When she finally does move away from the mic stand, it feels forced. Gianna needs to work on her stage presence, first and foremost. 

Score: 7

#8) James VIII

“Love Lockdown” by Kanye West

Really? That’s your stage name? Regardless, it’s a very bold song choice that actually paid off. How does it rank in a landscape of other Idol reimaginings? Forgettable. Compared to similar artists like him still in the competition, James lacks that spark. But that's what I thought of Nick Fradiani and we all know what happened to him.

Score: 7

#9) Avalon Young

“Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber

Avalon Young is not your typical female pop song. She’s a tomboy. And that’s unique. She has a distinctive voice. But what’s the market she is selling herself to? Who will be on the Avalon train? She’s a middle of the pack contestant that will likely get lost if she moves on. And picking Bieber? Not entirely sold on it. 

Score: 6.5

#10) Stephany Negrete

“Mamma Knows Best” by Jessie J

Being the first performer of the night is never a good sign. Stephany has a marketable voice but this was a pitiful song choice. It shows off her personality but doesn’t showcase her range properly. There was just some sort of disconnect in the performance. And it's a shame because it will likely knock her out of the competition.

Score: 6.5

#11) Emily Brooke

“I Am Invincible” by Cassadee Pope

Ok, Emily probably gave the worst performance of the night but I just see her having more potential than my #12. She started off way too low and in the wrong key. And that is detrimental. Her voice is way too thin for this song. It's clear Emily wants to do country rock but I don’t think that’s who she really is. This was a pitchy performance and stood out in all the wrong ways. 

Score: 5.5

#12) Jeneve Rose Mitchell

“Angel” by Sarah McLachlan

I’m just not a fan. And I have a sad feeling that is going to be a theme for a very long time this season for her. On a show where you’re searching for the next American Idol, she’s just not selling it. Jeneve is unique, sure, but where does she go from here? Especially after this song selection. If she wants to be a country star, doing Sarah McLachlan on the harp is just confusing. It's sad that she is the gimmick contestant that will likely force the better competitors off the show.

Score: 5

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 11 Power Rankings

We're about to say goodbye to what may be one of the worst seasons of The Challenge in recent memory. Tonight we will find out who wins and splits their money with their cuz! Will it be Cara and Jamie, Cory and Mitch, or Jenna and Brianna? And just for the record, here was my preseason prediction for the pairs. I had Cara and Jamie at #2, Cory and Mitch at #3, and Jenna and Brianna at #13. Clearly I got the girls WAY off. 

#1 Cara Maria and Jamie (1)

There's almost no way Cara and Jamie don't win. Cara's storyline has been the dominating force this season. It really is her season to win. Sure, it would be likely to think the boys should be the top spot but in comparison, Cara is 10x better than Mitch. If Cara loses, it will be one of the biggest upsets in series history.

#2 Cory and Mitch (2)

The rookie finds himself in the final! I like Cory. He's been an interesting presence this season. He's played under the radar yet still been an important factor in some voting decisions. Individually, Cory would be a contender to win. Sadly, Mitch is the weakest link and you're only as strong as your weakest player. In the battle of who's better between Mitch and Jenna, it's actually a toss up. But Mitch far exceed Brianna, though she hasn't really done much physically this season. 

#3 Jenna and Brianna (4)

Jenna, the ditz, makes it to the final two times in a row. That makes her record 2 for 2 in getting to the end. Will her teammate quit on her this time? I don't see Brianna doing it. She has too much pride. It would take a miracle for Jenna and Brianna to win. I just don't see it happening. 

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 9 Power Rankings

This is not a winning season. The idea was fun but the execution is ridiculous. The actually challenges are major letdowns. The rules are baffling. And the twists are so random that it's like it's almost rigged. Proof is bringing CT and Zach to battle it out with Mike and Jamie. It's sad to see Mike and Abe go, especially as it would be brilliant to see Abe and Bananas go at each other, but now that we're going back to Bloodline pairs and a final looming, it should be interesting to see what's gonna happen next. We'll keep it a solo ranking until we see just exactly how the game plays out. 

#1) Cara (2)

Cara is by far the strongest woman remaining. She may even be stronger than some of the guys. Cara needs to hope that when she gets thrown into The Pit, it's not something that will be determined by body weight. She has a pretty strong path to the final challenge.

#2) Jamie (3)

Jamie didn't quite kill it. He won by time default. Jamie doesn't have any male allies so he will likely face the final male Pit. That being said, he has fire in his eyes and will do anything to help his cousin win.

#3) Cory (7)

Cory leapfrogs Johnny because Jamie and Johnny will want to take each other out. Cory also has Mitch, someone the competitors find weak, so why risk an easy beat in the final challenge? If Cory does have to go into The Pit, Johnny is the only person who could possibly beat him.

#4) Johnny (4)

Johnny has to be commended for his social game and his ability to avoid The Pit. Johnny knows his time is coming, it's just a matter of whether his fate is sealed by himself or his cousin.

#5) Jenna (8)

Jenna is a Pit champion. Jenna needs to work with Cara and make a pact that they will toss Aneesa or Rianna in and let the other battle it out by the rest of the votes. Jenna could have a clear path to the end. Whether she finishes it, that's the big question.

#6) Aneesa (5)

Poor Aneesa. Will she ever catch a break? It's looking unlikely yet again. Aneesa must win the next challenge. It's a must or she and Rianna are going in, no ifs ands or buts.

#7) Vince (9)

The general feeling is Vince sucks. Is it a facade? Who really knows. Vince better work his ass off or he and Johnny will never make it to the final.

#8) Brianna (10)

If Brianna gets to the final, she got there by literally doing nothing. It's a strategy! 

#9) Rianna (11)

Rianna will not fight in the Pit. Aneesa will be the one if they find themselves there. Rianna will leave this season as a forgettable character. 

#10) Mitch (12)

I just want to say that I'm a big Mitch fan. He's someone I'd love to hang with. But in the world of The Challenge, Mitch is like a lost puppy. You point and laugh as he tries to manage his way in the world. Mitch should be thrilled that he gets to work with Cory again. 

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 8 Power Rankings

Last episode was an emotional one. We had a little tribute to Diem Brown. CT and Diem's sister Hope arrived to demo the challenge. It was emotional. And then everyone remembered it's a game and game play came back. Bananas tried to play hard by having his team throw the challenge in hopes of knocking Cara out of the game, but when it was revealed the Blue team sucks so much that they couldn't even lose when the challenge was handed to them, Kelly Anne and Anthony took the fall as Anthony was one of the bad throwing actors. At this point in the game, and a male Pit coming up, things are not looking good for Johnny Bananas. If Red ends up losing, expect an epic battle between Johnny and Abe. 

#1) Abram (2)

Abe takes spot number one because he has more allies. And that's what matters this deep in the game. Abe has said his mission is to get Cara to the end. And that means he will have to ensure Jamie doesn't get thrown in at any point. It's a risky move but Abe's a vet, he knows how to make waves. 

#2) Jamie (3)

Again, this is a game of numbers. Jamie has the numbers. Jamie was none too pleased Anthony was in cahoots to toss his cousin in so he took aim at Kelly Anne. And it paid off. Jamie is proving he is a dominating force in this game. 

#3) Cara (4)

Cara was spared by the fact that the Blue team sucks. They suck real hard. If Red ended up succeeding in throwing the challenge, Cara would have been fighting for her life. But she didn't have to and she is in the power alliance. Cara's biggest threat was Kelly Anne. And now she's gone. Cara is sailing her way to the end. 

#4) Johnny (1)

You have to credit Bananas for playing with a strategy. Do we respect people who throw challenges? That's a debate for another time. But his mission was smart and well thought out. Unfortunately, he forget about the factor that the other team sucks. With Anthony gone, Johnny is officially enemy number one. 

#5) Aneesa (5) 

Aneesa is in a really difficult position. Aneesa has been on Team Bananas. And right now that's all she's got. It's unlikely Cory will want to work with her so Aneesa and Rianna will certainly be thrown into the Pit next week. Aneesa must figure out something to save herself. 

#6) Mike (8)

At this point in the game, Mike is just there because Abe needs a bloodline. He's way to normal for this game. And that is the best compliment someone could give! He's likely to do what his brother says so expect no drama from him.

#7) Cory (9)

Cory needs to be smart and let Johnny and Abram battle each other. As long as he doesn't make any waves, Cory will be safe. That is if Johnny and Aneesa don't have a master plan.

#8) Jenna (10)

Jenna is a competition beast. That is something no one ever expected to hear. But this season, like Sarah and Katie in the past, Jenna has taken the role of successful goat. Jenna will not win but at this point, she could be seeing a final once again.

#9) Vince (6)

Vince is a meathead. And a buffoon. And just an awful person. And it all has to do with what he does at the club. Why the hell would you get into CT's face and mock him? Especially when he's here in honor of Diem? Vince is scum.

#10) Brianna (11)

For someone who doesn't want to be there, Brianna is the soundbite queen. And she's not entirely sucking at the competitions. Like Cory, as long as she keeps quiet, Rianna will take the blow if red loses. 

#11) Rianna (12)

Rianna is still here. And with less people around perhaps she'll get a moment on the screen. If not? Who cares.

#12) Mitch (14)

Poor Mitch. I want to like him. I really do. But if he sees a pit, he's screwed. He may not actually be a weak player but with every male left, Mitch is like a puppy in a pack of dogs. 

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 7

Rule #1: Don't mess with the girl of a psycho. Abe finally found out about Thomas and Cara and the result was the demolition of Thomas and Stephen at the hand of the Brother Boise. Ain't no more twinning! And because of this personal feud, Johnny Bananas and Vince were spared again. So how do things shake up now?

#1) Johnny (5)

Johnny is the master manipulator. His social game may be a bit odd but regardless, he can make things happen. He aided in the seed being planted that fueled the fire in Abram to go after Thomas. With Abe going for blood, Johnny knew he'd have a safe week. Now that the next Pit will be a girls battle, Johnny can throw his aim toward someone not in his core alliance, like Kelly Anne.

#2) Abram (3)

Abram's presence on The Challenge has officially been felt. Do not mess with this man. Though it's really sad to watch a couple crumble on television when it should be saved for private. With Thomas gone, Cara's alliance numbers are dwindling, likely making her find herself in The Pit soon. 

#3) Jamie (2)

Jamie is vocal and is truly the only person Cara has left. He is a fighter and will fight for his cousin. But at what cost? Jamie's positioning is interesting as he could be a target for Johnny so he can save himself. 

#4) Cara (1)

What a rough week for Cara. She looses her cuddle buddy and is forced to look at her love life. She's also put herself in a vulnerable spot in the game. The cracks have have been exposed and Jamie will have to work to save his cousin should the Red Team lose. 

#5) Aneesa  (4)

Aneesa is smack dab in the middle of the crossfires. She is in the pocket of both Johnny and Cory because they both require her number. Where things get iffy is that Rianna is likely going to be thrown in soon because people want to battle of the weak. Aneesa may want to think about throwing the next challenge to save her cousin and her own butt from leaving. 

#6) Vince (6)

Vince is quite possibly one of the most vile people to ever appear on this show. Vince not only was the one to tell Abe about Cara but he did it in such a gross way. The difference between he and his cousin Johnny is Johnny has character when he messes with people's heads. No matter what, Vince isn't a target which is good for this game.

#7) Anthony (7)

Anthony is loved by the guys yet is somehow on the other side of the house from his cousin Kelly Anne. Kelly Anne is likely to be enemy number one for the girls meaning Anthony has a chance to see a plane ride home. Anthony isn't desired by his friends as much as he thinks.

#8) Mike (15)

Mike wanted to prove himself in this game and boy did he ever! Sure, it was against Noodle Arms. Mike surely has Boise blood in him. 

#9) Cory (11)

Cory was super lucky that Thomas got blown up because it saved him and Mitch another week. But this week is incredibly important for Cory. Cory needs to pick a girl to go into The Pit that will not hurt his place in this game. This vote is integral for him to be saved another week. 

#10) Jenna (12)

Jenna is the Queen of the Quotes this season. And that's all she's really worth in The Challenge. With the format change, she's somehow found herself saved more than she should have. Jenna needs to continue to fly under the radar so she and Brianna can stay.

#11) Brianna (13)

Brianna is like the voice of the audience. She is saying what we want. Brianna has been lucky that her team has won everything or she would be an easy target. She needs to watch her back because a Blue win will likely throw her in so they don't lose one of their stronger girls.

#12) Rianna (10)

Rianna, like Brianna, is lucky as all hell. If her team lost, she would be sent in because she is not a strong competitor. She has had a bit of an invisible edit so the first time she gets air time will likely be her boot episode.

#13) Kelly Anne (14)

The battle between Kelly Anne and Aneesa is likely to return now that Thomas is gone. Kelly Anne MUST keep her cool because she is an easy target for many. It's a shame because Kelly Anne, as cra cra as she is, is someone you want to see in the final challenge as she will bring it. 

#14) Mitch (16)

Mitch needs to pull out a victory for Blue because he is in the next time it's a guys day. Mitch is a more polarizing character than you'd ever imagine. I really like him which makes it unfortunate he's on the bottom. 

The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Episode 6 Power Rankings

It's been a while since we've seen each other. And that's all to blame on the back to back TO BE CONTINUED episodes! In that time two teams were sent home due to injury (Tony and Shane, Leroy and Candice), a team was brought in as a replacement (Abram and Mike), and three teams were sent home via elimination (Camila and Larissa, Dario and Raphy, Nany and Nicole). Now that we're back in order, let's see how things have shaken up! 

#1) Cara Maria

The addition of Abram is a blessing and a curse. Thus far, Abe has no idea about Thomas flirtation game. But when he does, because this is the drama house, Cara could get some serious backlash when it comes to game. But at this time, Cara is sitting pretty as everyone seems to have a target except her and Jamie. 

#2) Jamie

Jamie seems to be loved. And because his partner is Cara, no one sees him as a target. Jamie is leading the pack on his team and losing him would be bad. Jamie just needs to worry about his cousin's boyfriend. Because if she gets some heat, he gets it by default.

#3) Abram

It's been some time since we saw Abe but the man is still crazy as ever. You'd think he might have toned down over time but as the tattoo tally grows, his insanity matches. While we may have seen a tamer side thus far, it's because he's with his love and has no idea about flirtgate. If the past is any indication, Abe is about to blow his top once he learns of Thomas' flirting. Boy best run and hide. 

#4) Aneesa

Aneesa is the oldest girl in the game yet she's playing a social game like a teen. Aneesa got mad at Cory because he pushed her aside (though he was a huge dick about it). While she did make a move that benefitted the vets, her intentions may have been otherwise. Will her betrayal of the rookies aid her in the end?

#5) Johnny

Johnny got played. Who knew Abe could outsmart Johnny. Johnny lost Leroy due to Candice's injury. Johnny lost Nany after she got tossed into the Pit against Kelly Anne. I think when Johnny wakes up, he'll go bananas knowing that Aneesa is now his only hope. Good luck Bananas! 

#6) Vince

Vince is guilty by association. While we haven't seen much of an impact from him, being Johnny's cousin will likely hurt him soon. His ego may catch up to him. 

#7) Anthony

In any other game, Anthony and Kelly Anne playing both sides of the house is a brilliant strategy. In this style of game, it's a brutal strategy. Anthony and Kelly Anne must get on the same page because their votes are turning into throw aways and will likely cost them sooner rather than later. 

#8) Thomas

Thomas needs to shave and pretend his name is Stephen because Abram is about to kill him. 

#9) Stephen

Stephen looks like he doesn't belong. And that may be due to his brother's antics. Stephen has had minimal screen time, which is sad as he seems like a funny guy. We may see Stephen wiping blood up soon after Abe murders his brother.

#10) Rianna

Rianna is being saved by the vets because her loss means Aneesa leaving. Rianna hasn't proven her worth aside being the bloodline to Aneesa. Rianna needs to step up soon before she's forced into The Pit.

#11) Cory

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Cory was sitting pretty at the top, having alliances all over the place. He was a rookie god and a link to the vets. Yet Cory dug his own grave when he cast aside Aneesa. Cory has to rely on Mitch as it's likely that Mitch will be thrown into The Pit until the Blue team wins. 

#12) Jenna

Jenna got lucky being saved from The Pit. There was no way in hell she was beating Kelly Anne. Will this strategy continue to pay off? We shall see!

#13) Brianna

Brianna is our eyes into this whacky world. We all wanted to be there one point in our teens and twenties but Brianna is proving that dream is totally not worth it. Brianna is catching a lucky break being on the Red Team. How long will that break last? 

#14) Kelly Anne

The game is called Kelly Anne vs. Aneesa. It's shocking to think that this is actually their first Challenge together. Imagine if they had been competitors before! The battle between Kelly Anne and Aneesa is The Pit is inevitable, but will their, and our, wish be granted?

#15) Mike

Mike is the new kid in town. And like a noble man, he wanted to sacrifice himself. His team enjoyed his moment of nobility but would rather lose Mitch. Mike is like a zero compared to his brother Abe on the crazy scale. Mike will likely have to do damage control when his brother goes off the deep end.

#16) Mitch

Poor Mitch. He has no idea what is happening. Cute kid who is the sacrificial lamb of the cool kids. Mitch needs to hope his team wins otherwise he'll be seeing The Pit again.
