Will The Lavender Ladies Control The Rest Of Final Reckoning?

On Season 32 of The Challenge, it’s not the crimson of spilled blood or slick, dark eye-black that’s defining the game. It’s a lovely shade of lavender.


Yup, on the latest episode of Final Reckoning, a crowd referred to because the Lavender Females — so called for the color of a bedroom they previous shared — continued their unlikely stronghold over the game. With heavy-hitters from other alliances like Jenna/Jemmye, CT/Veronica and Derrick/Tori successfully out of the game, the likes of Sylvia, Amanda and their teammates noticed themselves with a beneficial voting power on their side.


all of the while, veteran players like Johnny Bananas/Tony and Brad/Kyle noticed themselves with their backs against the wall, at least as far as Armageddon voting was concerned.


“The Lavender Women consists of myself, Ashley, Amanda, Shane and some days Marie — having girlfriends to talk sh*t about other people with is awesome,” Sylvia mentioned. “Here we are right now, ruling the game.”


And Sylvia wasn’t wrong. Since the starting of the season, Amanda and her teammate Zach had won three of seven missions, while Ashley and Hunter successfully pulled out the most recent victory in “Dunking for Dinner.”


Still, the Lavender Women proved they’re hardly a tweaked machine. Immediately after Marie’s partner Cara heard the Lavender Females gossiping about her, she stepped in, eliciting venomous backlash from the likes of Ashley, Sylvia and Amanda. And though Marie seemed to have been a member of the cliquey LL, she stood up for her partner and instructed her fellow alliance members to step off.


“The Lavender Girls are pretty unreasonable,” Marie mentioned. “They’re crazy. I know this because I’m their companions and I’m crazy too…I get where Cara comes from and, at this point, I only have one person’s back in this home, and it’s Cara’s.”


And Cara was grateful for the unlikely assistance, though she was sad it had opened Marie’s eyes to a unfortunate truth.


“You know Marie thought she was companions with them at one point, yet I think Marie’s beginning to be able to see where she stands with them, and that’s the bottom of the totem pole,” Cara said.


Either way, Bananas predicted that the fight could be enough to split them up for good.


“This whole Lavender Lady order, they have somehow managed to stay pretty with each other, and there hasn’t been a lot of infighting going on,” he mentioned. “However, today there’s no surprise right now that there’s hysteria brewing in the home. I love this chaos. I hope it continues, and I hope this alliance crumbles.”


Yet will it? Will the Lavender Women continue to run the game, and are the likes of Johnny and Brad in trouble? Or will the pendulum swing back in the other direction, and are Amanda & Co. Screwed? Share your thoughts, and visualize how the next Final Reckoning round plays out Tuesday night!
