The Challenge: Generic Thread

[JL81790]

If anyone's interested on Grantland's youtube channel there's a video of Simmons and Jacoby playing HORSE with TJ hosting it and Leroy making an appearance. They have Under Armour jerseys and everything...it's pretty funny.

Since tomorrows my birthday and I don't plan on being able to compose a comprehendible sentence, I'm gonna do my predictions for battle of the seasons tonight. Here are some of my thoughts...
1. I'm excited for this season because there's so much new blood, but is it just me or is there way too many fillers? Did we really need to see Lacey, JD, Devyn, CJ, Derek, Preston, Ashley, or Laura ever again?
2. I also wish there was a road rules team, but I guess that would be kind of unfair because I don't know who you could get without it being a stacked team. I think a team of something like Derrick, Dan Walsh, Ibis, and Jill would have been fair, although I have no idea if any/all of them were available.
3. I also wish there was a team Paris. I think any combination of Adam, Ace, and CT would have been good, with Mallory and Leah (although I don't know how available they were, especially Mallory).
4. There is no reason to have a team Brooklyn. They didn't have a great season and they have no one with potential to have a break out season. Sarah has now done 6 challenges, the same number as Evan, Mark, and Jenn and more than Landon and Alton, to name a few. I think people like Sarah, but I don't know who is a huge Sarah fan. I understand she's available every time, but that doesn't mean BMP has to call her every time. They should have at least had Scott on, why would they bring JD back?
5. I'm disappointed that Sydney had to leave, I would have probably picked them to get 2nd. It sucks we couldn't see Issac and Kelly Anne, although I don't think anyone misses Dunbar.
6. I think that whatever team wins this season should be considered champions, but with asterisks (kinda like the Gauntlet 3). Competition-wise, this is one of the weakest casts ever, and so many of the big dawgs aren't on. If lets say San Diego wins, how can it be justified that Frank has won a challenge when CT, Laurel, Emily, etc have never won. Just like how the winners of Rivals and Exes should get extra credit for winning in seasons with stack casts, whoever wins this one should get points taken off.
7. This season is gonna be impossible to predict. No one knows whos gonna be paired together and after some of the fillers get booted, its really anyones game.

Without further ado here are the Challenge God predictions. (I haven't read any spoilers, I just know that Sydney leaves and I know who the replacement team is, but I won't say who they are cuz its a spoiler. Even though its on wikipedia. And everyone knows who it is.)

In order of elimination
1. Preston and McKenzie
2. JD and Devyn- They don't deserve a sentence (although I just gave them 1).
3. Knight and Jemmye-New Orleans is my favorite team, but I think there gonna suck. I'm really happy to see McKenzie, Knight, and Jemmye on a challenge, and New Orleans was my favorite season besides Vegas that I've seen. But Knight is the only athlete, and the rest might suck. I could see Jemmye being good, and also being crazy.
4. Derek and Jasmine
5. CJ and Jonna
6. Sarah and Chet
7. Danny and Melinda- I'm assuming they'll pair up and Wes will pair up with Lacey.
8. Wes and Lacey
9. Replacement team
Finals
Winners- Las Vegas- I've seen the trailer and it looks like Dustin might get kicked out. If that happens I don't know if they'll bring Mike in or if Nany will have to go home or what will happen. I assume they won't bring in Leroy because it will make their team way too stacked, and I probably would have heard by now if Adam Royer is on this season. Side note- why has Adam not been back? He's without a doubt the most entertaining person to be on the Real World in the last 5 years. And he's really turning his life around this time!
2. San Diego-1 word-Zack.
3. Replacement Team-Brad and Tori might not be happy to see these 2 in the finals...
4. St. Thomas- I think they'll fly under the radar and I actually think Trey, Robb, and Laura will all be good competitors.

Again I have no idea what actually happens, but I can't wait to see what does.

Lol Evan is real pissed about not being on the show, or at least why Kenny/Derrick/Johnny and whoever else he mentioned isn't on the show, he's all like "they get a a bunch of new people I never heard of, why? Why!" He doesn't seem to understand it lol. I'm mixed on the rookies issue, I'd like some new kids but not all new kids. But yea not JEK and Derrick over and over. They weren't too kind to Lacey either. He totally thinks this will make the show bury itself.

He needs to get over it. They all had their time and won.

Let's hope not.

I find it kinda refreshing to see an almost new cast.

Pretty sure Adam was banned by MTV. You should know that as a Challenge "God" :P
