The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=iMichael;291280]Just like on Rivals, there are some duos that are kind of a stretch. At least I can pinpoint when the Wes/Mandi or[B] Johnny/Camilla [/B]hook ups took place, I have no idea when Sarah/Vinny hooked up. Also, from the looks of it, Rachel and Aneena are going to be treated just the same as all of the other teams.[/QUOTE] Johnny/Camila wasn't ever shown on the show, it's most definitely a stretch. I think the most that was shown was Camila being all "I love Bananas" or whatever on Cutthroat. Sarah/Vinny hooked up on FM2.

KellyAnne & Dunbar would have been so much more enjoyable. Does Paula literally have nothing else meaningful in her life than the challenges? At least we get Emily back.

After watching the trailer for the Battle of the Exes this looks sick.

[QUOTE=dylan76;291297]KellyAnne & Dunbar would have been so much more enjoyable. Does Paula literally have nothing else meaningful in her life than the challenges?

Perhaps Paula was not their first choice. Perhaps producers had to offer certain incentives to get some people, but for others any offers were irrelevant.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;291277]Looks like a lot of weird contraptions over water again...great.[/QUOTE] lol, I read this before I watched the trailer. The first 4 quick snippets showed what looked like 4 different over-water missions, and I was like, yep! Bummer, and I hate to say it, but it feels like it's going to be another over-the-top finale with WAYYY too much endurance, and not enough strategy. Other then that, I'll watch the **** out of it, this is my guilty pleasure, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the vets again. off-topic, should we be posting here, or in the new forum?

[QUOTE=CherryPie;291326]Omg I am so excited! Didn’t someone on vevmo predict that title too? I feel like I read it somewhere before seeing it on that trailer. This is [I]very[/I] similar to the rivals trailer; it doesn’t seem like there’s as much drama though. PS: thanks for the trailer, jesses_girl![/QUOTE] I mean, it wasn't exactly a hard title to predict.

So glad Mark Long the godfather got his last chance to be on a challenge. Rooting for him! Also rooting for Diem because she's hot and a dg.

So I decided to watch the trailer for Battle of the Exes before I went to bed and had a dream that Laurel and Jeremy (Road Rules: South Pacific) were both on there as a couple. Has anyone else ever had a dream about challenges like that or if they were on one?

[QUOTE=Rickb;291336] off-topic, should we be posting here, or in the new forum?[/QUOTE] In here, if you could. The trailer thread will be closed so that it will contain only the trailers.

[QUOTE=Euroslavia;291367] Has anyone else ever had a dream about challenges like that or if they were on one?[/QUOTE] Of course. I've had many. One featuring Melinda (can't exactly remember what was the issue). The other one was about me being on Gauntlet 2 with less people but with only one team (I remember seeing Mark, Katie, Kina, Timmy, Landon, Robin)which brings up the question that who were they competing against. And some more

[QUOTE=dylan76;291297]KellyAnne & Dunbar would have been so much more enjoyable. Does Paula literally have nothing else meaningful in her life than the challenges? At least we get Emily back.[/QUOTE] I would lovee to see Kelly Anne on this one too with Wes or Dunbar but instead we get Mandi and Paula for the 100th time... I'm excited for Diem/CT though

I'm rooting for CT & Diem also. One, because they're serious competitors & also because they were one of the only actual couples, in the true sense of the word.

[QUOTE=dylan76;291401]I'm rooting for CT & Diem also.

It ended real badly however and was kept secret. I forget why.

Derrick's newest podcast accidentally went out on ITunes (he said it was supposed to be out tomorrow). Not really a big deal but Evelyn was on it (along with Kenny, Laurel, Jenn, Leroy, Mike, Mark, and Tyler) and I know people are interested in hearing what she has to say.

Listening to it now so I may as well write out the awards: Rookie of the Year: Leroy Biggest Underdog: Mike Best at Flying Under the Radar: Jenn Female Entertainment: Laurel Smartest Player: Evelyn Fan Favorite: Kenny Most Liked to Have a Beer With: Kenny Male Entertainment: Kenny Best Teammate: CT Best Female: Evelyn Best Male: CT MVP: Tyler Hall of Fame Inductee: Mark

Evelyn's formspring? [url=http://www.formspring.me/EvelynMTV]Evelyn (EvelynMTV) | Formspring[/url]

[QUOTE=v123;291428]Evelyn's formspring? [url=http://www.formspring.me/EvelynMTV]Evelyn (EvelynMTV) | Formspring[/url][/QUOTE] Yes, it's Evelyn. She joined a couple of weeks ago, thanks again to Cara Maria's influence. Several months ago, CM had also convinced her that she should have a twitter account.

Danny & Melinda would've been awesome for this challenge. An ex-married couple working together again. Also, get rid of Mandi and replace her with KellyAnne. Speaking of KellyAnne, is it just me or does everyone else notice this, but it seems like every season from Cutthroat-Battle of the Exes (so 3 challenges in a row) KellyAnne has posted something on a social media site saying how she really wants to do the next challenge and training or whatever. But she hasn't been on one since The Ruins. And I know she has been contacted for Cutthroat, Rivals, and Battle of the Exes, because she is potentially one of the best females in terms of bringing drama, thus increasing ratings. Which sucks that she isn't on this one, because Wes & KellyAnne would way more interesting to see, that Wes & Mandi (which we have already seen before).

Cara Maria said on formspring that KA and Johanna were the first choice for Wes and they said no so Mandi was chosen. Just like if Diem said no, Laurel was a back up for her.

Wow it sucks that Danny and Melinda couldn't do it, they would be perfect for this one!

[QUOTE=rwrrfan1;291542]Wow it sucks that Danny and Melinda couldn't do it, they would be perfect for this one![/QUOTE] Couldn't or wouldn't? Divorce, unless one is really f'd up and needs to be on reality TV (ala the Kardashian's), I can't imagine taking one's nasty private divorce drama and allowing someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart to video you and then edit it however they want. I'd never recommend such folly to any client.

It is killing me to not look at the spoilers for Battle of the Exes. CT and Diem? That is so freakin amazing i cant even stand it. It may not be 5 years later, but Diem seems to be doing very well in her job, so I hope that means CT and Diem get back together and both get their very first Challenge win. That story would be so unbelievable, I might lose my mind. :o) jan 25 is way too far away... This Challenge looks EPIC! Im seriously losing it... The only thing is I wish Mandi would go away, and my love KellyAnne were here. CT/Diem vs. Wes/KellyAnne? I couldnt imagine...

You must be a trusting person, and I've completely jaded after knowing and working with many of the MTV cast for well over a decade now. She would like to do the next one, and you don't post in public that you were insulted by producers wanting to display the aftermath of your divorce for public entertainment if you do want to do the summer challenge. I'm not sure she fits in Duel 3 though.
