Better than having the exact order spelled out in the ending of the last dozen episodes.

I'm just listening to Trouble Erupts Extended on a loop after watching this episode (till I get desensitized anyway). Gaddammm.
The fate of the Universe in Gohan's hands? Hell yeah!

or they will tie when the timer for the tournament runs out.
One of the two. (assuming Goku lasts the whole tournament which I assume he will)
Who knows, we'll see.

Eh, that'd be kinda boring. A more interesting route would be Goku really not having much of a chance at all (power-up and all) but U7 still surviving regardless of that.

Jiren is on some crack bullshit, fuck Goku if he pulls some powerup out of his ass to beat Jiren, I'll accept some Super Android 13 spirit bomb absorption nonsense but he better not have had it in the back pocket the whole time.

All Goku needs to do is prevent Jiren from eliminating the remnants of the team. It will probably be Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and 17 left. Still more than what U11 has and I only see Hit and Caulifa maybe lasting from U6. Maybe Kale will eliminate Dyspo or something. It's to the point where the major players are only going to eliminate each other and I don't even think Frost is on that level.
BELIEVE.

Loved Vegeta and Roshi teaming up. I think that's the 1st time they've interacted in the series. Good to see the ending theory debunked. Frost is looking to sneak attack Frieza in the NEP.

So Frost just happens to know the Mafuba reversal.
He saw it once then countered it later. Piccolo did the same thing except he saw it like 3 times and it was of the course of years. Frost is just better than Piccolo ok

Cowards can be heroes after all!
Jiren knocked the fuck out the blue guy, didn't even touch him right? The writers going even further off the deep end if/when Goku deals with this guy because power wise, he is absolutely insane. With a whole 15 fucking minutes having gone in the tournament, something has to give now. Jiren is just pure power and must admit I do like him, but with so many characters left a lot are just gonna get fucked over within a single episode. Jiren will take out most of them without breaking a sweat.

so whatever happened to that stuff about the supreme kai being the one getting Frost to go after U7 and offering financial aid?

Good episode. That Beerus praise on Roshi. 
Like the treatment on Roshi on this arc.
Cabba vs Toppo also next episode.

I agree.
The writing is all over the place. I know this show is about turning off your brain and riding it out, but I didn't think it would be this bad.
Also, like someone mentioned earlier I don't see how Goku can even compete, let alone beat Jiren, without one hell of an asspull.
The plotkai is strong.
So Frost just happens to know the Mafuba reversal.
According to some vague DB dialogue and Super, Mafuba isn't taught you just need to see the Mafuba in action to be able to replicate

Guys did you see how Frost did the cool pose and stuff, he totally gets it

I think it's been pretty clear that Jiren doesn't actually care much about the Pride Troopers. In this instance it seems more like he knew the guy was specifically coming after him so he wanted to put the guy down. If he went straight for Dypso with that being his goal, I doubt Jiren would have interfered.
As for Goku not standing a chance against him.... the dude just punched the air and didn't even knock the Kais out of their seats. Nothing has portrayed him as really strong other than a few peoples reactions. He hasn't actually shown anything that makes him stronger than SSB.

its funny, no matter how broken Jiren is, he's still gonna be an ant compared to the angels(and some of the GoD depending on if he is indeed the mortal stronger than his GoD), Zeno almighty how far is this gonna go

Frost and Freeza's partnership isn't going to last long if he's still running from Vegeta's Blue Form.
If it sticks how Super had been thus far, I can see that happening. He lost to Berus but Berus changed his mind. He beat Frieza but still lost cause Frieza blew up the planet. And he lost to Black only winning because of a dues ex machina. So if universe 7 loses it'll be kinda cool to see that consistency.

I like that there's a technique for concealing so strong that even GoDs don't realize someone is using it
I like that Tien is the only person to have noticed that someone was using it

Yeah Tien could sense them but it really hasn't been of any use yet. Everyone else found out there were two invisible people just by deduction.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when a Universe 6/7 character gets a ring out a universe 6/7 character follows.

I can't tell if your second paragraph is a joke or not.

Frieza race are a bunch of fight genuises, it took Goku a hot minute to get the mafuba down and Frost reverses it and hits a small target in no time flat.
Then again Trunks got it down from a video pretty fast, maybe Goku just sucks at it.

It'd be great if Goku got knocked out because he let his guard down.
And then Vegeta was the last one standing after knocking everyone else out, proving that he was all they needed to win like he's been saying all this time
I expect something completely different

I'll be shocked if Frost isn't eliminated in the next episode, Frieza's gonna make him beg for death for trying to double-cross him.
Frieza's race is pretty smart, they're just hindered by their ego.

Part of me is wondering if I missed something. I thought there were 37 people left, not 36 at the start. Also it is good to know the "Ending elimination" has been debunked with Roshi literally dropping out.
Oh well... Regardless, here's the breakdown:
1) Vegeta- 6 Eliminations, 3 assists
2) Goku- 3 Eliminations, 3 Assists
3) Master Roshi- 3 Eliminations, two assists
4) Android 18- 3 Eliminations, one Assist
5)Kale- 2 Eliminations 3 Assists
6) Caulifla- 1 Elimination 3 Assists
7) Frieza, Cabba, Android 17, Gohan, & Hit- 2 Eliminations
12) Krillin- 1 Elimination, 2 Assists
13- Tien 1 Elimination, One Assist
14) Basil, Frost, Ribianne, Jimeze Piccolo, Harmira, Jiren- 1 Elimination
Jiren finally knocks someone out while Vegeta adds to his lead. Don't think we can really hold Roshi taking himself out for anything, so we'll leave him where he's at for now.

As for next time, definitely a fun little twist for Frieza to actually go after Gohan with Frost as support. That said though, I wonder if this won't suddenly come to an abrupt end when one tries to stab the other in the back.

Man, they really missed a trump card with Roshi.
Coulda Mafuba'd Jiren or taken one of his punches and died.
In both cases Jiren becomes an easy DQ.
Though I'm betting Jiren's ability is based on power storage, hence why his teammates sorta keep jumping in to cover him. Goku's probably going to fight him by just constantly rushing him, preventing him from storing jack.
