[QUOTE=cryssy19;208593]Personally, I think Laurel is better than Tori, but that's personal opinion. Toir is ok too.
[COLOR="Red"]I'm confused, didn't Brittini beat Diem badly in the Duel 2 in "Push me over" and beat some other competitors including Aneesa in the final challenge, coming second?[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I like all those girls, but I think Brittini should be a bit higher up[/COLOR] and I, personally never saw Veronica do anything so amazing to be that high up the list, esp after being beaten in the Ruins, which confirms it.
[COLOR="DarkGreen"]I also agree with someone else, Sarah really proved herself in these challenges. She won alot of eliminations, I would.t put her last in the list.[/COLOR] :)
Just my thoughts :)[/QUOTE]
[COLOR="red"]Heck yeah, she did! Brittni pushed that chick right out of the game! Diem was all over the ground!hahah! She also beat Ruthie and another competitor in The Duel![/COLOR]
[COLOR="darkgreen"]Wow! Someone watched The Ruins!lol. She showed how tough, strong and competitve she can be. She also did great in a leadership role by boosting team morale. She's underestimated! I hope she takes some more fools out, so she can show these haters that she really does have what it takes to be great in these challenges.[/COLOR]
Anyone who watched The Ruins can see how skilled Sarah is!
I have a question about the Gauntlet 2 final. Julie said, "If we wager everything on roti and win, even if they only bet 1 coin, we just won the whole thing." The maximum amount of coins you could put on one event was 248 since you had to put at least 1 coin for all three events. So even if the veterans would have won the eating event, wouldn't that still leave them with 249? Wouldn't the vets have had to win either the memory or the sprints to win the whole thing?

Not that I have an answer to this or anything... lol, but i must point out that Roti is one of the main dishes in my country :)))) (and it tastes good :P) I was so excited to see it being filmed there :D

I REALLY wish they'd do a Battle of The Seasons 2. Not only was the original AMAZING but it would regulate the cast better so we don't have so many Fresh meat and Fresh Meat 2 castmembers. I'm not against the Fresh meat or anything but the challenges have declined for me in entertainment value since every challenge has so damn many of them. With a BOTSeasons 2 setup that would mean we'd only have four fresh meat castmembers max.

That was so dumb for them to put all their eggs in one basket!!! Even if they had won the roti, Aneesa wasn't gonna a foot race and the memory challenge Katie would've done probably would've been toss-up as to who won.

That final was one of the worst ones (island beats it), great season and the final challenge killed it.

Really? I HATED the Island, I tihnk half of the fun of these challenges is watching people fight through eliminations to earn their stay, and voting/ talking to decide who was eliminated wasn't my cup of tea. The idea was ok, but the eliminations were horrible i thought. (Which is why Johnny bananas had a good chance of winning) :P

The Island in my opinion was better than the Gauntlet 3.. even though it renewed the series.
I felt it was kind of boring, because there was no really exciting click to it.
The eliminations were all pretty lame for the exception of Frank versus M.J. in Ankle Breaker (which wasn't so great of a elimination round, just decent.)
On the Island there were some good face-offs like Ballbuster, Ring Wrestle, and Brige It.
Ring Wrestle was a classic face-off, better than every elimination in the G3.

Ah, I understand. I think Gauntlet 3 was the one with rookies vs Veterans, where Eric passed out. I'm not sure, but if it is..... then yeah, that challenge sucked. :P
If that's not it, plz refresh my memory :D
[B][U]They could've made the Island aloooot better. Here are 8 ideas, if they make an Island 2:[/U][/B]
1)Only female-female-female face-offs and Male-Male-Male face-offs; no partner mess!
2)2 face-offs per day= 1male face-off and 1 female face-off before the elimination voting.
3)No one can compete in face-offs back-to-back
4)If you are allowed to compete in face-offs back-to-back, then you have to have won the last face-off, and if you lose the face-off, you lose your key that you won in the previous face-off.
5)4 people are up for elimination at every voting ceremony; The 2 female and 2 male losers.
6)You only get a key from winning a face-off.
7)You can't compete in a face-off if you're holding more than 1 key. In the final elimination ceremony,
you can only officially give keys at elimination ceremony. You can only [I]give[/I] keys to members of the opposite sex.
8)Every one must have only one key in the final!
[B]These are some ideas. Any comments?Any ideas?[/B]
I personally LOVED The Island's format. The only things I didn't like were lack of missions (but missions wouldn't really fit in the format) and the Survivor-like theme with no food - that was pretty stupid. Also the final mission was pretty stupid too.
But I LOVED how new and different it was - there's no other show with a format like it. The season itself may not have been great, but I absolutely love the format.

I thought the idea of putting them on an island the they having to row away at the end was good. Also the dropping or pieces and parts of the boat
However, personally, If i wanted to see ppl get voted off, I would watch Survivor. Each show has their own characteristics, and in many challenges, and elimination rounds, to me, u get to see the passion and drive of the challengers which make u like them or not. I didn't think ppl shlould be voted off, cuz it makes it that much easier for strong ppl (Abram & Rachel) to be voted off by an alliance who decide they wanna make it to the end and win (Johnny etc).
Basically, it gives way for alliances to win. Cuz if u have an alliance, ur def not going home. If ur strong, without and alliance, ur def going home. I hated that.
I like the mixture of the Island and other challenges in the Duel. Each person chooses another person etc. And the last one choose whoever they want to go into the Duel against.
But I like challenges where u have to work and fight for the prize, not voted off if u don;t win a challenge by ppl weaker and scumier than u.
But as I said, I think it was a good concept, I just didn't like the details.
In my opinion the Island wasn't that bad.. but it still could of have a better format and some fixes. However I did not like the G3, which is last on my list and the only challenge I wasn't really into.

Brittini beat Diem by a fluke. Kimberly beat Ruthie in the Duel. The only women Britt beat was Diem and Brooke. Huge accomplishments there.
[QUOTE=Klounsnax2.0;208869]Brittini beat Diem by a fluke. Kimberly beat Ruthie in the Duel. The only women Britt beat was Diem and Brooke. Huge accomplishments there.[/QUOTE]
No, actually, the fluke was Diem trying to push Brittni off of the platform while sitting down. Brittni pushed Diem right outta the game. Are you forgetting that "crazydrunk" Tonya beat Diem? Brittni beat her fair and square and she tore Diem up. If you watch the beginning of Brittni and Diem's duel, she shove her all the way off the platform.I'm still laughing about it.Even Mark, himself, said that "This is Brittni's duel".Rachel was smiling at Brittni taking care of business. Don't you think its funny how after Brittni pusher her off the platform the first time, when Brittni came at her the 2nd time, she immediately got on the ground and pushed her off the side. I understand she was using her brain, but what a coward. She knew Brittni would've knocked her off again.As I stated, Diem was on the ground for most of her and Brittni's duel.I thought it was pathetic.Diem almost popped her head off when Diem and Jenn first collided.Diem was definitely smarter than Jenn, which is why she won. But athletically, Jenn would stomp Diem on anyday. And rookie Brittni "owned" Diem! There is no response. Diem got handled!haha!
Also, about Brittni only beating 2 people. Brittni is undefeated 2-0. Diem was beaten by Aneesa, Brittni and Tonya; and she beat Jenn(because she was smarter in a physical duel).
So Diem is 1-3, and on her other challenge, she didn't go in. Brittni has won immunity 3 times just like Diem has. Brittni is the better competitor statistically and performance-wise.
Honestly, some people underestimate others because of ther size. Brittni is actually a good competitor! Give the girl some credit!
Regarding Diem and Brit's Duel, Diem twisted her ankle.
We haven't seen Brittni long enough, or enough times to say she is a good competitor. I am not saying she isn't good, but the Duel II had a lot of pair competitions. She always had an alpha male.
Brittni faired well on the Duel II, but again, it wasn't the most physical single player challenge.

I think mostly the issue was, that Brittini did beat Diem yet Diem was sooooo high up on the person's list, and Brittini so low. I mean, I think even if we only saw Brittini on 1 challenge, she did do very well and finished 2nd. Which at least gets her some points. :)
I think Brittini was a great competitor, and ultimately proved she was better than Diem. I'd like to see her back, but since she never gets involved in drama, I doubt we'll see her back.
The only reason Diem ever did good on any challenge was because of who she was aligned with: FM 1 with Derrick, Duel 1-Gaunlet 3 with CT, Duel 2 she was in the whole Evan alliance and on the Ruins she left early.

Actually, there was a challenge or two that Brittni won on her own.While, Diem won 0.

That's bogus! Diem didn't play like she had a twisted ankle. We have seen Brittni win a mission and win 2 duels!1 of them was against Diem. If you watch Brittni and Diem's duel, you will see the better competitor.And for the record, I put Diem in the same category as Paula. She hasn't proven herself and she has gotten the sympathy vote; and she is overestimated. She makes herself seem strong and threating, when she isn't a great competitor. Here is the simple truth:Brittni slaughtered Diem. And Jenn almost knocked her head off!lol. Brittni, Kellyanne and Sarah outid Diem with only their first challenge. Remember, Diem hasn't even won a challenge. She has done 4 challenges excluding fresh meat, and only went to one final, where she didn't even earn her spot. I'm tired of hearing about Diem and Paula being good players when all they do is rely on an alliance and contribute nothing to win a challenge. You gotta earn it! And FYI: you can do 10 challenges, and still suck as a competitor.
If you have an alliance that takes you to the end, more power to you. You're doing something right, even if the viewer's hate you (I'm talking to you, JEK). They've won/made the finals of several challenges, so making alliances obviously works. You can't rely on just pure strength anymore; the Challenges are becoming more and more socially based.

You're absolutely right! And that's what sucks:you can have the most horrible competitors win a challenge simply because of an alliance. And because they are becoming more socially based, the rw and rr alumni are gonna suffer. we all know these fresh meat kids are gonna keep coming back...and multiply.THERE WILL BE MORE! LOL. It just sucks, ya know. People can gripe and disagree all they want. But, there are people winning these challenges that don't deserve to win these things!We got Johanna and Ibis on the champions team! Johanna may have won a challenge because Jillian had to go in 3 times, and Johanna went in 0 times and Big Easy gave out;but, she is not a champion! And Ibis is weak to. IDK too much about Veronica, so I can't say. And isn't it funny, that Johnny only got to be on the champion's team because Evelyn didn't take his key? If she took his key, things would be different!It's crazy! I watch these challenges to see the real worlders and road rulers fight it out and actually challenge themselves.I'm really tired of Kenny, Evan, and Derrick skating by on these challenges. I don't think its right. ?But I guess these type of challenges are better than no challenges at all. I miss the duel, when Kenny, Evan and Derrick all had to fight! I actually liked all of them on the duel. But Gauntlet 3 and the "trimming the fat" mess was the beginning of the craziness. The Island was horrible! It was dominated by the goons!I just wish they couldn't all be on the same challenge.Kenny and Evan can't be on the same one. However, Kenny and Derrick, or Johnny and Derrick, might be ok. It's just when they all get together, they start this mess. Whatever happened to an unpredictable challenge? It's a dying breed, I tell you!I'm gonna take a breather! lol
Hmmm? What about a new champions vs old champions???That would be awesome!Only cause JEKD will get smashed!lol
Alton, Abram, Darell, Landon, Mark or Syrus vs Kenny, Evan, Johnny, Derrick, Nehemiah.I wished some of these would do challenges outside of the duels!
