The Challenge: Rivals - Brandon Nelson

This is the 3rd straight challenge he's in a bad position with his team. Katelynn and Ty aren't good and the Red Team screwed him over.

Wes had Casey on his very first challenge and still lasted all the way to the end. I actually think him and Ty are even.

[QUOTE=Skeet;250130]If ty would get proper cardio, then yes.[/QUOTE] The problem on Cutthroat wasn't his cardio, it was in starving himself for a job he had scheduled after the challenge. If I recall correctly, it was an underwear line photo shoot. He just didn't have sufficient calorie intake to compete physically.

[QUOTE=DaLeadBull;250153]I still think he's a horrible athlete, I guess we'll find out this challenge.[/QUOTE] He may be, but I'd prefer he be judged based on real suff and not pop culture fiction.

[QUOTE=V1man;250158]He may be, but I'd prefer he be judged based on real suff and not pop culture fiction.[/QUOTE] I'm judging him based on his performance on the last challenge and also his season, if I were to be superficial and judge him on his appearance I would have said he was a great athlete but I've been around sports long enough to know better.

There are other sports out there that many of these people may excel at.

I think Brandon looks very great in this pic. I didn't like him on Fresh meat 2, but I just loved him on CutThroat. Good luck for him.

That's a nice picture of Brandon. I absoultely adored him on Cut Throat, thought he was super weak on FM2, mainly because of his partner.

Good luck Brandon... teaming up with Ty an all :(

During his chat with Tyrie, he also talks about Rivals, Ty, and the finals: Mavs/Heats :) [url=http://www.blogtalkradio.com/realtalkwithbrandon/2011/06/16/real-talk-with-brandon]Real Talk with Brandon 06/16 by RealTalkwithBrandon | Blog Talk Radio[/url]

Brandon is dating Ashlee?

Man... 14 post? Haha, Brandon deserves better Vevmo!

[QUOTE=molds13;252961]Brandon is dating Ashlee?[/QUOTE] For real? That's awesome

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;281902]For real? That's awesome[/QUOTE] No I don't know for real, hence the question mark at the end of the post.

[QUOTE=Calinks;281898]Man... 14 post? Haha, Brandon deserves better Vevmo![/QUOTE] Agreed, I like Brandon... It wish he and Ty were a little more into scheming and "getting votes", they could have very well banded together a group of outsiders and got someone else into that Jungle. Which, by the way, may be the worst elimination round right up there with I Can (even though I personally dont mind it, but I know others do). I forget the name of it but I honestly think they should have made that a Jungle a repeat of the girls Jungle they had that season. The panel flipping one, or the haystack ones would have been cool to see guy's do... Come to think of it, all the girl-only jungles were mental-ish, while the guys' was pure strength... hmmm?? Lastly, I think ole Brando and Ty could have faired well against Kenny/Wes in those mental Jungles, as K/W isnt that bright, and they would have had Jas/Jonna to help them, since they later smoke Kate/Sarah in that same Jungle... Ok, I'm done.

[QUOTE=Calinks;281898]Man... 14 post? Haha, Brandon deserves better Vevmo![/QUOTE] Yeah he seems cool but I dont find him that interesting not saying he's boring but he's just not that memorable. I barely remember him on FM2 (just remember him/Danny arguing) and on cutthroat I only remember his elimination and same with rivals only remember his and Kenny/Wes' elimination. He's more of a background cast member even though he's a decent athlete. But he does seem to be doing stuff outside the show for the challenges like hosting vegas bash and his radio show.

That's a Nice picture of Brandon. I didn't even notice it until now lol.

[QUOTE=molds13;281906]No I don't know for real, hence the question mark at the end of the post.[/QUOTE] Ok no need to be rude about it either.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;282000]Ok no need to be rude about it either.[/QUOTE] Awe..... Maybe this will help you fell better? [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=11868][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/1174e94671ba065f.jpg[/img][/url]

Not at all but thanks for trying though. appreciate it

I don't think he and Ashlee are dating. I have seen him refer to her as his twitter-boo but that just seems like mutual flirtation and interest. I like Brandon a lot. On Fresh Meat II he didn't do anything and I didn't notice him. On Cutthroat I really admired the way he handled everything. A lot of people would have been very bitter about being thrown in but he was stil partying with his team even though they had knives at his back. I saw Fresh Meat II again about a month ago and with my new found respect for Brandon I noticed him more and he was pretty funny dude in the limited time he was shown. My favorite scene of his was when he was arguing with Danny and Wes just did that odd frog air hump thing to hold Brandon back. The best part was a few minutes later that episode when Danny was apologizing and he kept hugging Brandon. He just kept coming back, and back, and back and Brandon's eyes got bigger and bigger. For some reason that little part had me rolling when I last watched it. The expression was priceless. Anyway, he seems like a stand up guy and we don't see that enough on these shows. I was rooting for him on Rivals but I don't have a lot of faith in Ty. I think with some training he can be a very good player. I just don't know if he will get asked back because he has only had one big story and he's been on 3 in a row. They might leave him in the casting dust next time around.

I dont find Brandon boring at all, actually. I think the show becomes the most dynamic when there are many different personalities and not all crazies. I like Brandon's chill nature, he doesn't try to hard, or start petty bull**** to get more TV time… it's actually refreshing amongst the chaos. I don't know what challenge it was, but I liked when he brought a beer to one of the challenges because his partner was hurt and he knew he'd lose anyway. It's something I could see myself doing.

That's why he said the next challenges he gets on he has a full proof plan. Win every challenge, bang every chick, and fight every human. Guaranteed 45 seconds of air time!
