There have been some excellent and not so excellent players on the Challenges. I want to know who you think are the best Challengers? Take into account not just physical ability but strategy, intimidation, etc.

For the guys it really is hard. For me it is a toss up between CT and Mark. In the end I would say CT. The man is a monster. Not one person has ever wanted to face the guy. Anytime someone has faced him they were demolished. He is constantly great on the missions.

For the girls I cannot decide between Coral, Rachel(RR), or Evelyn. Coral is the master of getting to the end. She knows how to play the game, girls at one ponit were scared of her. And despite her being a bit bigger she kicked ass on the missions. The only times she has been sent home were due to injuries and her leaving. She is definetly a challenge guru. Rachel has yet to be beaten and she is just a monster. Evelyn is probably the most agile and strong girl cimpetitor ever. Although her ability to be disliked doesn't help her. I would have to go with Coral or Rachel.

I totally agree with CT being the best male player, plus he's my favorite. Although mentally he doesn't always play the smartest game, Evan and Brad do and are both tough physically as well.

When the women are concerned, there are definitely girls that are better physically and those that are better mentally. I really can't think of one girl that has the complete package. Yes, Ev is a strong player, but mentally no, Coral has the mental game down but not as strong physically. After this last challenge I would say you would have to throw in Tori as well.

That's just my opinion though.

I agree with you bratty. Many people may not like Tori, and this is just my opinion, But I think she is a really good competitor. If anybody could beat Ev in a gauntlet or something like that, I would pick her to do it (from that cast). She was actually one of my favorites in VR and the Gauntlet 3. She can be whiney at times and she does tend to get on my nerves, But all in all she is a very good competitor.

Wha about Jillian as a top female competitor? She is smart as well as strong (and nimble, LOL) but then again she may not be a big manipulator and some people precieve that as weakness.

I forgot about Tori. I have to agree she could be the best girl competitor, but we didn't get to see enough of what she could do. We saw her dominate Melinda, but that was it.

I see Jillian as a good competitor, but not as great as people are saying. Look who she went up against: Angel, Brooke, and Janelle. Angel almost beat her. Brooke basically didn't try. Janelle isn't the greatest competitor. She worked hard but didn't have someone like Paula or Ev, hell even Katie could beat her.

Best Male - Wes,Alton, or Darrell....CT may dominate, but if you never win the big one you cannot be considered the best. Case in point...Dan Marino. He had the best statistics of any quarterback before Brett Favre broke his records, but he will never be considered the best because he couldnt win a ring. CT is in the same category, all the talent in the world, but not a winner.

Wes is up there because of being able to make it to the final in Fresh Meat, despite the fact everyone was against him. Then, in the Duel he played a brilliant game and his duel w/ Derrick is probably the best elimination round ever.

Alton is up there because he can do it all and he is a true team player.

Darrell probably wins as the best overall because he's got the "rings" to prove it.


As for the girls......who gives a crap

I'm not sure about the guys, I would say CT, but it seems like he now a days, he just gets kicked off of the challenges.

For the girls all the way it's Coral. Coral is a beast, physically I don't think she's the best, but minus two times she always makes it to the end. The only time she hasn't made it to the end is because of injuries and quitting the last challenge as someone posted already. Most of the girls are scared of Coral, she knows how to play the game and if you try to fight with her, she'll tear you apart and she's funny as hell. Not to sound like i'm a Coral lover or anything, but seriously no one has topped Coral since she's been on.

It is interesting to see who people think is best, but it might help if we established some criteria. Without some common groud definition, we are all going to come at the question from a different perspective.

For example, before Inferno 2, Jodi Weatherton was regarded as one of the best competitiors: strong, social (No real challenge enemies) and a winner. Yet, in head to head-to-head individual competition, she and Beth are tied. Some argue that Brad actually performed better in the Duel final mission the did Wes, giben the time difference he made up. Still, Brad lost.
