Could Devin Really Take Out Challenge Legend Johnny Bananas?

While Devin earned a respectable third-place finish on his inaugural Challenge season, he’s however to get his hands on gold. Although right now, he’s swinging for the fences — the question is, will it come back to bite him in the ass?


On tonight’s Vendettas episode, and as segment of a mission called “Kickin’ Ass,” players — having been divided into two teams — were challenged to win a good ol’ fashioned game of soccer. The catch? They’d each have to each wear giant orbs and run across the dirt arena atop pairs of springy stilts.


Suffice it to mention, things got messy — particularly for Johnny Bananas, whom Kailah specifically outfitted with a less-than-desirable team.


“I couldn’t be in a worse position going into this,” Bananas mentioned. “I’m injured, I’m on a team with Nelson who can’t walk on his own two feet, let alone stilts, and all the most uncoordinated girls in the house.”


And as soon as the dust lifted, Bananas fears had been confirmed, as Kailah’s team, which also included Natalie, Nicole, Kyle, Tony, Zach, Brad and Kam, came out on top. And thus, the losing team — which consisted of Jemmye, Kayleigh, Leroy, Cara Maria, Devin, Nelson and Bananas — had to pick one man to be sentenced to The Ring.


It was a close vote between Bananas and Devin, however thanks to a unexpected move from Kayleigh, Bananas was spared, and Devin officially became the next man in line for an elimination round.


Still, Devin wasn’t ready to give Bananas a pass, and started actively campaigning for The Troika to vote Bananas into The Ring as Devin’s opponent.


“I would like you to send in Bananas,” he demanded before TJ had even finished speaking. “I will get Bananas and I plan to send him home…I’ve been wanting to be able to see Bananas in The Ring or at an elimination for a long time, and this is the golden possibility. Folks are afraid of him and so they play a scared game. Nevertheless you wish to know who’s not afraid of him? Me.”


However Bananas insisted Devin was overestimating his ability.


“If I knew we might go in, and I might put my f**cking hands on your throat and strangle you, I’d nominate myself to go in,” he said.


With Bananas’ companions Tony and Zach in the Troika alongside Kailah, the odds seem unlikely that Bananas will be voted in. Still, it might happen, and if it does, would it be Devin’s best case scenario, or worst nightmare?


What do you suggest — could Devin really take out Johnny Bananas, and is his pursuing of Bananas honorable gameplay? Or, could Bananas bounce Devin with little effort, and is Devin out of his mind for going right following the game’s greatest?
