[QUOTE=RW561015;39676]Hmm, so maybe some cheating occurred. That or some girls hooking up with the guys that their friends dated before. Or the other way around. Or some person who did not seem "desirable" got with someone who would be seen as so. Or, Anessa decided to hook up or go after whoever she felt like again, like Gauntlet 2.[/QUOTE]
Aneesa is the perennial wide card. I suppose whatever she did might be interesting. There is an active gay community in Queensland, though.
I like the more straightened looked on her better, though I thought she was able to do the fro look as well. Perhaps she just flattened her hair out with a flat iron. Sometimes we ladies just like to change things up and play around with different looks.

This is true, but I don't like the straightened look on her, The fro is jsut so much more natural looking.

I've never known anything good to come from a guy offering unsolicited advice to a woman about her hair. It's seems sort of like commenting on someone's weight. Ladies, what do you think? :)

This is true. Thank goodness I don't know her. Most of the time it is a death sentence.
As a woman, I like her hair both ways. I imagine that the straightened hair may give her an alternative look for modeling, and therefore she'd get more jobs with those two completely different looks instead of just one signature look.

Yes, to some degree. A lot of it has to do with the wording. I think starting with a compliment first helps a bit, too.
[quote=V1man;39655]The challenge is Landon's to lose. He is in the best shape of his life and the guys are in awe of him. He does not have a large alliance around him, so that is the only a impediment. Sadly, it appears that Brad is not at the top of the list, although his alliance has held firm thusfar.
All the guys are doing well, Dunbar included. The more interesting drama is on the women's side. Dunbar is NOT hooking up with Paula (immense good news), but there are some interesting hookups that will come out during the season or be written about it they don't.[/quote]
Landon not relying on an alliance makes him already 1 notch above CT in my book, who gave away Duel I.
Someone pointed out that the alpha alliance males may begin to go after each other. ..... and I suspect Brad to be a prime choice opponent for those who are left. Kim appears to be game on this challenge, from the info ... could she be the next Duel queen? I wonder if Aneesa has sided with Kim and Brittani since it appears that she too is isolated from the "[B]big alliance[/B]".
I don't know, but from the eliminations given, I'd speculate that the majority of these duels favor power and strength. Eric is big, but not that strong, so him losing isn't a big shock, but him hanging around as long as he did tells me that no one was in a rush to pick him as an opponent.
It sucks to hear that Brad isn't doing that amazing. But thinking back to the first Duel, he didn't really do amazing. He won one mission, the roller derby one, and that's it. I think he makes it far a lot is because of his alliance and he is a good guy. Sort of like what people thought of Derrick on The Island. No one wanted him gone like they did Johnny/Kenny. I think that is Brad's best asset. A decent competitor and a well-liked person.
As for Dunbar doing good, or not bad. It doesn't surprise me. It was hard to judge anyone from The Island. I just don't like him.
And although chances are against Landon, he can do very well. Honestly, I think his biggest threat is Evan, and MJ because of size. He just seems more nimble then Dunbar and Derek. If only CT would follow Landon's footsteps and not rely on other people.
Sorry that I didn't bring up the girls. I only watch the girls for the drama. Not the competition part.
Just registered because I have been a viewer for quite awhile, but had to get some things off my chest. First of all, I would like to say that I wish Wes had been on this challenge. I dont think he can be beaten and I think he is the strongest competitor out of any RW/RR/Fresh Meat kid. He is undefeated (a Wes vs. CT pole wrestle would be the most incredible challenge to date). With that being said, so is Tori. I went to high school with Tori, and also worked with her; let me tell you, she is one great athlete. I am very confident in her winning this challenge. Let me also say something about MJ. I hate it when people rag on him. He almost went to the NFL . How could he not be a good athlete. One of the main reasons people don't see him as a good competitor is because of the way he was portrayed on G3. He was out of shape on that challenge because he did not have time to train for it. I think he will make it far in this challenge (as if he hasn't already).

But being good at one thing, in his case football, doesn't mean he's good at everything. I think Landon is good is because he's good at a lot of stuff.
And Wes, while being good at swimming, physically strong, and a good player of the challenges, he almost lost to Brad, had it not been for the soccer kick. So I don't think anyone is THE BEST or can never be beat. It all depends on what they get.

Welcome to Vevmo comedyrp! I do agree Wes is one of the greatest competitors but he isn't the best. There are others whose challenge strengths/abilities are equal to his (Miz,Mark, Alton,Landon). I don't think we can consider anyone the best right now, because we haven't seen alot of the challenge great competing against each other.
As far as a Wes vs CT pole wrestle, Wes would demolish CT!
About MJ, I do agree they did not portray him as a strong competitor on G3. He was excellent on G2 and seemed very fit. I believe he's really showing his abilties this time, since he's made it this far. I don't think he has any good social connection in this game, so his performance is most likely taking him far.

Well, if they like it that's one thing. But no guy should every say "What was she thinking with that"? LoL. It's ok though Dart....women are strange creatures, and someone else's answer to that may be different than mine. ;)
On another note....Oh man I'm bummed about Kim going home. She must have been putting up a heck of a fight though. From what we know she must have been in at least 3 duels. Two that she won and obviously the one that she lost. Wonder if people were gunning for her or what? Either way, like I said before, I'm proud of Kim having done so well as a "newbie". At least you're home now for Thanksgiving dinner girl!! :D
Wow!
Well, I must say, Kim seems to have really acquitted herself well on her first challenge. She should be proud of herself, especially of taking out players who have been strong in the past. I'm sure she'll come back with a vengeance in the future.
I'm very interested to know who took Kim out, since I imagine that person just got a little scarier to everyone else. I'm going to guess that Kim was the one left at the end of the selection process, since I can't imagine anyone picking her as an opponent after she took out Ruthie in the last duel. I could be entirely wrong, though. Brittini must be doing well in missions, because taking out Brooke couldn't have raised her stock that much.

Brittini? -- no, but she has has a great partner when it counted. I think she is otherwise coasting through this when compared to Kim.

MJ - I don't think anyone said he was not a good athlete. He definitely has a great physique and obviously was good since he got a college football scholarship. But being a good athlete does not necessarily equate to being the best challenge person (i.e. Mallory from RW Paris was a soccer player and didn't do as well as some people thought she would on The Inferno). He is competent in missions, but I just think he hasn't had those standout moments here or there that people like Landon, CT, Alton, and Derrick have had (not to say they haven't messed up at some point or other, but they've had great feats). G2 was big on team/partnership missions, though, and he's only had one elimination matchup (on G3). So it's kind of hard to stand out in those circumstances, but in the few opportunities he had to stand out, he was outdone by a few people. I think that's what most people are trying to say.
Tori - a lot of people here think she's done a good job, on RR and on G3. But perhaps she didn't stand out as much on this particular challenge, based on the spoilers.
Wes - from my memory, he didn't do too well on Fresh Meat on all of the missions. Yes, part of the reason was that he had Casey, who is arguably the weakest competitor ever on these shows, but he himself was not great with all of the missions. They won the elimination rounds easily after having been through it many times and having some of their opponents have to carry heavy loads. I would have been more impressed if the elimination rounds changed up, but it was the same thing every time. But overall, not too bad on that challenge. As for The Duel, yes, he did well, but I think CT was still top dog there but got shortsighted and didn't remember the rules. Evan did well, too, but tried to cheat at the end. I think Wes can definitely be beaten. I agree with what other posters have said - I don't really think anyone is unbeatable on these shows. Some of these elimination rounds and missions can be tricky or work to different strengths, but if I had to pick a close to unbeatable person, I don't think I'd pick him.
Kim really hung in there. I'd guess she will have a big storyline.
[quote=V1man;39710]Eric and Kim are the latest two to be sent home from New Zealand.[/quote]
Is Brittani still in the hunt?
Kim gave it a heck of a run. I guess someone strong had to take her out. Hopefully, she went down swinging.

Sorry, excuse the previous post. I just read back on this page.
Brittani may have a good partner, but I'd be shocked if people who were picked didn't choose her as an opponent in some of the duels. Tell me that she has gone in at least twice?

I know this is about the Duel 1, but I don't think Wes could beat CT at pole wrestle. Wes almost lost to Derrick, and Derrick, although being one of my favorite, is tiny compared to CT. That elimination round, gives a great advantage to who is bigger. Like when it was Robin vs Casey, Aneesa vs Paula. The only one that would go against that was Brad vs Eric but Eric only lost cause apparently he didn't have a plan. I really think if Eric had the strength, smarts, and stamina to toss Brad around Brad would have lost cause he couldn't do that to Eric. I think Wes is a strong player, but he is stronger in the mind games part. But I agree that we can't really pick out the BEST person ever.
[QUOTE]Brittani may have a good partner, but I'd be shocked if people who were picked didn't choose her as an opponent in some of the duels. Tell me that she has gone in at least twice?[/QUOTE]
I don't know that she has. As far as we know, she has been in once (and eliminated Brooke). I believe there have only been a couple of duels where the winning player has not been revealed on this board. I doubt Brit went in against Kim, as I can't see either choosing the other as an opponent. I'm surprised she hasn't been in more, being a newbie--as I said, taking out Brooke couldn't have intimidated anyone too much. I guess she either has her social game working or she is winning immunity (or both).
So maybe the "partner" missions are for female duel days this time, as opposed to male duel days last time? That would mean female days would have to be first, though, for the numbers to add up.
Maybe Brittini "Shavonda'd" her way into Landon's heart (and pants)? He would be a good partner to have I'd say considering he's strong and probably has ties to at least Mark, MJ, and maybe Rachel?

It's been stated that Landon is in a relationship. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt unless we find out otherwise. I believe Brittini is in a relationship as well.

I agree, OPD. It is a bit on an off-putting suggestion by mph922. I would hope people would engage a little more reason before jumping head first in pure conjecture and fantasy.
Well it has already been stated that Brittini is "coasting" (in comparison to Kim) and that she has a good partner on her side, and it has also been stated that there are some interesting hookups this season. So naturally, I put two and two together.
I could care less about any hookup quite frankly, but it seemed to be an option (especially considering I didn't know either were in a relationship currently). I wasn't implying that I think any less of them or that either are bad people because of it.

Thats true. I guess the person with the best strategy/plan would win.
