Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
[QUOTE=Blue123;291975]So can we rule out any suspicious eliminations? Like the whole Vinny/Wes thing. I think Wes goes home by a normal elimination but Vinny is barely shown in the trailer so maybe there was no fight.
And I find it odd that they dont show any eliminations in the trailer, just Wes and Abram's. On the last one they showed both of Wes/Kenny's, Ev's, CT/Johnny, and bits of Jonna/Jasmins. Dont tell me the most interesting eliminations are going to be the 1st 3 then they're going to balance over mud -_- and if its because they dont want to give out elimination spoilers then dont show more than 1 elimination with the same person, cause if ppl are paying attention they will figure out oh 1 of those people was eliminated by Wes.[/QUOTE]
Please define "suspicious eliminations."

Suspicious as in the time when two people came home seemed odd. Therefor leading us to believe someone wasn't eliminated in an elimination round, we've been wondering this since mid November...
And Molds is it safe to say that Wes' timing is no longer suspect? And if something weird happened, then it was to Vinny? And can it be confirmed that Wes lost to Leroy, unless Leroy/Naomi also decided to travel like Sarah/Mandi did.

I still say Dustin goes home due to injury and not because he lost in a Dome after hurting his knee based on these two pictures from the reunion promo

How do you even know? We haven't even seen her on this challenge yet.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
[QUOTE=V1man;291959]But why should she pass up the money they offer her just to go on vacation? You know she doesn't ever expect to win, no matter what she says on camera.[/QUOTE]
That's true. In fact, I've never blamed these people who are regulars for taking the paid vacation. But at the same time, she's been on these shows forever and knows what goes down. If you're going to take the money, you're going to have to take the lying and manipulating that comes with the game too. I like Robin, but no one wants to hear her crying and whining about it for the upteenth time. lol.
Paula and Robin, you can always count on them to have a breakdown.
I wonder what Sarah was breaking down about. Could Vinny be rude to her or is she just bummed that she's not doing well? She's so competitive in that desperate overachiever way. She's like the Tracy Flick of these challenges.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
[QUOTE=Camille;291948]
The one thing that annoyed me most about the trailer was ROBIN CRYING yet AGAIN. She's crying over the manipulation and lying after being on a zillion challenges and knowing that comes with the territory. If it bothers you that much, don't come. I really think she just doesn't have what it takes for these challenges. Not just physically, but especially mentally. If she can't win with Mark, then give it a rest already. She's always an emotional wreck.
.[/QUOTE]
Robin's attitude gets on my nerves too! But then I have to remind myself that anything is possible on these team and partner based challenges. Mark didn't carry Robin to the end, but it looks like they made it close. Tori displayed a lot of weeping, whining, and mental fragility in her seasons, and she was able to win 2 team challenges. It seems every season we're forced to watch Paula implode when she realizes her alliance was using her for votes and they don't intend to carry her all the way to the end. She managed to win Rivals with Evelyn as a partner. Kenny and Wes won the Rivals finale, for all intents and purposes, then the next day the outcome was decided by a short event that was a virtual coin toss.
I can't think of many players more mentally fragile than Tori and Paula, so I'd say anything is possible at this point. Politics, luck, and the whims of the producers matter more than competence in determining the outcome of these shows.
I almost admire Robin for showing up and trying again. Her last few seasons she hasn't been as petulant and childish as some of the other contestants. I'm going to change the channel when Sarah's inevitable meltdowns happen.
The way the casting is going for these shows, next season will be called The Insane Asylum: The Battle of the Unstable. This will be the pitch: "You thought their legal troubles would keep them off TV! You thought their narcissism and cruelty would alienate their fans! You thought viewers and producers would tire of their vapid routines! You thought you had seen it all! But, you were wrong!! This time it's personal... Welcome, to the asylum!"
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
I suppose I'm in the minority on being happy that Robin is on this coming challenge. It's one thing to understand that the challenges involve manipulation and lying, but it's another when someone you wouldn't expect backstabs you for money and tosses your friendship out the window. Drama is expected, I'm sure they all know this, but some decisions aren't that easily predicable that could really end up hurting you. Especially in the format of ex's/hookups being partners.
Just trying to put myself in her shoes I guess.

You apparently bought into the "Tori - beauty queen?" edit that BMP dished out. It could not be further from who she is. Susie, Kina and Beth got to know her well during Viewer's Revenge (Beth, during the show's down time). All three think the challenge edits of her are nuts. I've know her since VR taping, as well, and know she states her opinion forcefully when she thinks it's required, but that is the way she makes her feelings known on the challenges. She's pretty much unflappable, actually, but if you only know what you see on screen, you get what you get from BMP.
As for "The Insane Asylum," that is pretty much how Evelyn has continually described the challenges. On Formspring, she's mentioned that she thinks she is about the only normal one there and everyone else is crazy.
The "Asylum" commentary is probably worthy of a serious moment; however, because the legal matter you mention is very serious business for three cast members, a production company and a network. As Cara Maria mentioned recently in response to a question on Formspring, the civil suit did have an effect on "Battle of the Exes," even without the presence of Messrs Santucci and Starkman.

I wonder if a team can be voted into the Dome twice consecutively considering they don't win/lose a challenge. I remember Gauntlet3 did that but that was only a 2 team challenge. I think it's unlikely though.

In Gauntlet 3 you could go into the elimination round every time. You just couldn't be saved twice in a row.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
Most people who smoke are also lazy and don't exercise, so that contributes to their poor physical conditioning just as much as smoking does. If you don't run often and don't even smoke, you'll be sucking wind big time if you try to run even a mile at your best. CT's been smoking for like 10 years now but he also works out probably harder than anybody on these shows, so his smoking really doesn't deter him at all.
If it was that much of an issue for him or affected him that much, he would've gassed out going up against somebody as big & strong as Tyler for as long as he did on Cutthroat and even on Rivals, he had no problem at all in the last elimination round when everybody else got gassed to some degree doing all those short, intense sprints back and forth.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
I think CT actually has more endurance than anyone on the challenges. If you look at that final elimination round in Rivals, Johnny could barely stand up after, Tyler could barely walk up the hill, and Adam couldn't even get up the hill with CT carrying him. Then you look at CT who looked like he could do it again. He had to wait to tell Adam that he was ******* it up and he still beat both Johnny and Tyler. He seems to have gotten MUCH more athletic since The Inferno's 1 and 2, and at least in the second one, he carried the girls on his back uphills.

Yeah in some interview a long time ago, he said he used during inferno 2. And you can see a difference, back then his muscles were very defined now his body doesnt look like a body builder and looks more natural.
[QUOTE=erodwhtboy;292040]On one of Derricks podcasts during rivals when he had I think Evan on and they talked about how CT smokes a pack a day but it doesnt ever affect him, he's just a freak of nature[/QUOTE]
Yeah as someone else said I dont believe that either, smoking permanently destroys the alveoli in your lungs, therefore reducing gas exchange. I guess you can compensate by working on cardio to improve your heart but still, I find it hard to believe, lol I love how were talking as of CT is the only person who ever smoked on these things but still no one else that smokes as much as he does has such a big hype.
Townie does he also cough up phlegm and ****? His voice sounds like some one that does, lol thats what I think of when I hear someone smokes that much and they usually do. I'm really curios to know if maybe Wes has decided to start smoking also, he seriously has something wrong with his muscles judging by how weird his leg cramp looked, that thing was twitching.

It was probably more of a spasm, it happens to me sometimes - although never during extreme physical exercise, only when my muscles are at rest.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion
There are lots of different types of "endurance" depending on how one is conditioned. Some people may be able to swim like a tuna fish all day long but not be able to run mountains that well. It just depends on your training. Rugby players for instance could flatten you, but they tend to live pretty party atmospheres otherwise. CT is hardly the first or only Challenger to smoke. I have had the impression that lots of the girls do or have at some point in their Challenge careers and that many of them of both genders hit chronic at times. I also have concluded that some of these people train with looking good for the camera as a bigger priority than winning or else they would be training whenever their ticket has yet to be punched for the show.
Re: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

He's back, he tweeted a few days ago. But yeah you may be right about him just not using twitter anymore but him saying dont click on the link proves he's home. And he barely used fb. Wes doesnt use twitter that much either neither does Ev, hopefully they'll tweet more while the show airs. Or maybe they all just got bored of it quick.

He usually takes a vacation right after The Challenge is over, so that can explain why he was gone for 4-5 days. I think he probably spends his holidays with his family ever since his brother was murdered. It's got to be an emotional time for them.

Based on how much Cara Maria raves about her skill on Formspring, I think we can expect Emily to be a beast on this challenge. That could be assumed anyway since she makes the Finals, but Cara puts her up there with Ev and Laurel.

While I've not talked to a single "Exes" cast member about the bios, in the past cast members have told me that they had no input in the bios that MTV created for the specific challenges. There is no requirement that MTV be truthful in the bios. In fact, their contract allows cast members to be portrayed any way producers desire -- including blatantly false portrayals. This is rather standard stuff for the reality TV industry these days, but it seems out of place for the challenges because serious fans probably know a good deal more about the cast members than does some intern at MTV writing the bios.

Blue 123, this is ground we went over several years ago, but perhaps it's time to educate the more recent members. MTV can make up of anything they want to. The cast has signed away their rights.
Last year, The Village Voice published the Real World contract:[url=http://www.scribd.com/doc/61401183/Real-World-Contract?secret_password=u1afgk7m5x91wx7flfe]Real World Contract[/url]
One can assume that the Challenge contract is substantively the same. This is the text that says they can write whatever they want in a bio.
[QUOTE]Producer may depict, portray me and my Life Story either accurately or with such liberties and modifications as Producer determines necessary or desirable at its sole discretion for the purpose of fictionalization, dramatization or any other purposes, including without limitations to achieve a humorous or satirical effect, and by means of actors who may or may not resemble me. [/QUOTE]
In short, as I read this language, as viewers we're free to believe or disbelieve just about anything we read or see, because the producers have the license to do everything from Frankenbiting to recreating sex scenes with video shot of other persons. Messing with a bio is child's play for the creative mind.

Disinformation is a long-practiced art in the Reality TV community, it's just not always been an art well practiced (IMO) by BMP or its cast members. Hopefully, they have been learning from other shows.
I've been asked before by a production company/network to post misleading information on the Internet about an upcoming reality show (but not at vevmo). Some FOX shows used to have deliberately planned disinformation planted around the internet. It worked pretty well. They knew the hard-core fans were the only ones trying to piece things together, and they knew they won't going to lose those fans which represented less than 4% of total viewers.
Certainly one viable strategy is for the winner to privately whisper to a friend that he/she didn't win. It doesn't take long for the rumor to spread.

Omg thats not what I want to hear, if Emily wins then thats fine, just not Johnny. And I dont know why you guys think that there has to be some big event that makes them loose, just look at Kenny/Wes they basically won the 1st day despite Wes being sick/whatever but the 2nd day cost them the win, same thing could have happened here or it was just a close race. But damn if there was no bull **** rules and CT still didnt win then maybe he just isnt as great as everyone makes him out to be, like hands down we think he's better than Johnny/Ty, Emily is better than Diem but its not like Diem sucks. I dont know, imo if Kenny/Wes were winning by so much against men/men teams and these two cant pull it together against opposite sex teams then I dont see them ever winning, like omg Johnny/Tyler lost the 1st day against someone that was puking and cramping half the time and Id say Tyler is stronger than Camilla, this should be interesting.

I dont know, imo if Kenny/Wes were winning by so much against men/men teams and these two cant pull it together against opposite sex teams then I dont see them ever winning, like omg Johnny/Tyler lost the 1st day against someone that was puking and cramping half the time and Id say Tyler is stronger than Camilla, this should be interesting.[/QUOTE]
Agree, I hope regardless who won their was no dq somehow or BS rule/stipulation like Wes/Kenny getting a minimal head start for destroying the first day and this challenges final was all legit. I hope the final is not more crazy than Rivals, I mean their is a good final and just being ridiculous for the sake of it. I just hope it's a good final race/concept and is close.
I think their is an upcoming podcast with Derrick/Evan/Kenny previewing it. You know by now they all know the results (from Johnny I presume) and all that so it will be interesting to see how they describe the teams. They usually give pretty good hints based on their descriptions or just outwardly lead us to the answer. If not winners, they at least spoil hookups. They talked about CT/Laurel hooking up before Rivals started. I haven't listened to one of his podcasts in a while, but now that the show is coming back, I may start again. I don't care if the show isn't on or it's random guests.

Yeah me too, I'm looking forward to that podcast, some people just dont know how to speak without giving information away, especially Evan, he basically spilled that Ev won (even though Robin basically said it before him) and told the Laurel/CT thing. I think they told Johnny to zip it, last time he was giving away every hookup and mentioned a bunch of times on twitter that won with lil hints, but the last challenge didnt air as fast so we had a longer observation period. I really want Robin on the podcast I'm sure she will be dumb enough to spill it also.
Also Cara Maria said something interesting about the guy/girl eliminations, they flip a coin if its a tie to see who goes again. Meh I dont really like that rule either but whatever.

[QUOTE=townie;292167]Have heard from two people in the area & a third person with contacts to the show and have had the same information relayed from each...CT & Diem did not win...it's just a matter of what place they got...have heard 2nd from two of the people and 3rd from another.[/QUOTE]
I'd be very surprised if CT/Diem didn't win based on the level of competition, and assuming that 80% of the Final Challenge is physical + endurance. Remember CT isn't an idiot (I heard he went to Darthmouth or something like that for a while...... very hard acceptance criteria). Diem, does tend to crack under pressure though. If CT did lose, 10 to the 1 the next challenge is a Duel type. I think these challenges will go on until CT wins.......given that he's back in the viewing publics' good graces, with the good guy edits over the last challenge.
However, if they did lose........ I'd be hard pressed to think Johnny/Camilla was the winners.

Not to say that CT is an idiot...but it's UMass at Dartmouth...not Dartmouth College. Two VERY different things.

Most boston schools are top tier, and to stay on topic I don't think this challenge will need an sat exam in the finals. I'm sure the challenges fit his strong suits.
