“This week, we have to get the numbers, and then we’ll have the ability to help each other,” Casper Smart of The Stars mentioned. “Because at the end of the day, that’s what they’re doing.”

I throw in Kam because I visualize Kam hanging off [The Stars’ Daniel “Boobie” Gibson], attempting to manipulate him onto her side. This cannot happen. I visualize everything.”


And soon, Louise saw her plan succeed, as Brooke took out Kam in “Rock & Roll,” which challenged each competitor to push or pull a giant totem out of the Arena across one of her two appointed sides. And Brooke’s victory was an enormous morale boost for The Stars.


“It feels good to take somebody out from the opposite team, nevertheless it feels even better to know that it was a Champ,” Brooke said.
