[QUOTE=FishHooks;292967][B]I'll watch to see how Dustin is received and how he reacts to that. [/B] Beyond that, I saw nothing that really grabbed me so I'll probably not watch more than the first couple and then maybe the finals.[/QUOTE] Lol, well what exactly do you think is gonna happen to him? Actually, after watching their interview, him and Heather seem very blah. I don't expect much excitement revolving around them at all this season.

[QUOTE=molds13;292980]What's going to be so interesting about it? The first twelve minutes will be like any of the other challenges: interviews from people about how awesome/awful their last experience on television was or what they've been up to since the last time we saw them (which we pretty much already know). They'll touch on how Robin has a son, how Diem has a long-term relationship back home with someone she really cares about, how Rachel is running her own fitness company, etc. It'll show them entering the elimination arena (which we've already seen), TJ spouting off a bunch of information about the challenge (which we already know and have seen), them getting paired into teams (which we already know), followed by interview clips of how excited/scared/uninterested they are about their partner (which we already know). Maybe they'll include the obligatory "let's run into the house and get the sweet rooms" (which is generally uninteresting). I'd be surprised to see anything of value - not anything we don't already know, anyway. The "producers cut" allows them to add worthless, irrelevant **** that won't be on the first episode in order to lengthen the clip so that people will be like "HOLY **** THATS LIKE 1/4 OF AN EP IT MUST BE AWESOME".[/QUOTE] Molds13 is now officially possessed by V1man.

I think the Mr. Beautiful thing is more of a gimmick than anything else. I am a bit disturbed by the hazing that Johnny supposedly planned to do to Zito on this challenge. Sounds very cruel.
I hope they are holding back with these promos because they aren't all that great.
[QUOTE=ILoveRW;293038]I hope they are holding back with these promos because they aren't all that great.[/QUOTE] Well what do you wanna see? I'm really excited for this season because of the challenges and eliminations more than anything. But i also think that the dynamic between the "couples" will be more interesting and real than with the "rivals" pairs (because most of them probably needed to be reminded why they were considered rivals lol).
[QUOTE=Calinks;293036]I think the Mr. Beautiful thing is more of a gimmick than anything else. I am a bit disturbed by the hazing that Johnny supposedly planned to do to Zito on this challenge. Sounds very cruel.[/QUOTE] Yes, of course it is a gimmick. Why does he need one? Is he that insecure? Hazing is an interesting topic. I'm not sure that the Challenges are ready for the scrutiny that many states are giving to the laws about hazing and bullying. It's probably a good thing these challenges are done outside the us. Of course, the cast member contracts are governed by California law, so things are not all that clear on the subject.

Is it just me or does Wes seem normal when he's not considered one of the top dogs in the house? And when he is, he acts like he's a god. :O Also excited to see that argument between CT & Ty. And I don't like seeing CT helping Johnny out lol
I feel Johnny has pretty much mastered the game. I don't know how a guy who causes so much drama for others gets the political clout he has but if he has CT working with him.... come on, the man has skills. He and Kenny are pretty much looking unstoppable at this point.

It wasn't until Mike Mike told him 'Vegas was behind them' that Dustin seemed relieved. I'm wondering if he got a negative reception on this challenge at the beginning because of his past...

It's going to be interesting to see how CT and Johnny squashed their beef. Maybe they both just hate Wes more?

I am sure somebody said something. It wouldn't surprise me with the way some of the girls play the game if they actually said something to Heather to get Dustin upset.

And CT is desperate to work with anyone, he's tried to ally with Evan, Wes and probably anyone in the past, why wouldnt they want to work together on this one? the strongest team basically has all the power, so I see why Johnny is sucking up to CT. Basically anyone who doesnt have a strong girl cant do ****, Wes probably started scheming or whatever and they thought they should get rid of him. But realistically theres not much you can do with the rookies (mainly because most of them are not considered that good).
It was pretty comical when Camila was cutting into Wes about his master plan of banning together with the rookies. I laughed out loud over that because it's kind of true, the rookies would be hard pressed to do anything and Wes seems like he is forever getting verbally smashed in arguments. It's turning into a running theme where he gets into a heated argument and someone says something that just shuts him up or makes him look foolish. I find it funny. I may be actually pulling for him this time though. The guy bothers me but I feel bad for him. I also would like to see Johnny get overthrown, it's always funny when his back is against the wall and he starts politickin'!

I found this pregame special watchable and entertaining for the most part. The only thing that bigged me was Jenn **** riding Johnny. Jenn: "He's the only guy to get me to a final. He's God, etc. etc. etc." Jenn I really want to go back to liking you a lot, but comments like that make it near impossible.
[QUOTE=Nightwolf;293066]It's ironic that Camila was acting as if she was the **** about running the game with her massive ego, sort of like how Wes has acted in the past.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and it's pretty easy to act tough when you have a powerful partner.
[QUOTE=Nightwolf;293066]It's ironic that Camila was acting as if she was the **** about running the game with her massive ego, sort of like how Wes has acted in the past.[/QUOTE] Yeah I dont get that, I dont really get why they were even arguing. All he said was that he wanted Johnny to tell him he was throwing him in and not make it a surprise, whats the big deal? Just tell him you're sending him in. I think he was threatening her by rallying up the rookies, *** is that going to do? But of course we havent seen the episode yet so who knows, but I seriously hope theres more drama than just these 2, they didnt show much in the previews though...I'm rooting for Wes even though I dont think he cant do much. I want to root for CT but he's siding with Johnny, he's not the underdog anymore. I was hoping CT would play it solo, he doesnt need Johnny to win it, especially with rules like these.
Here's the drama promo they showed. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObGhzQbsD9k&feature=youtu.be]The Challenge: Battle Of The Exes - Drama Promo - YouTube[/url]
I thin Wes love bear hugging people. Anytime a fight breaks out he can't hop off the couch and wrap his body around somebody soon enough!
[QUOTE=Calinks;293072]I thin Wes love bear hugging people. Anytime a fight breaks out he can't hop off the couch and wrap his body around somebody soon enough![/QUOTE] He's protecting his rookies! He needs them for some magic plan he's plotting. The Brandon bear hug was funny too, he was trying to keep his "well oiled machine with 10 votes" from blowing up. And there was also the Veronica/Tonya fight, no hugging in that one, scratching, slapping, hair pulling, that one looked dangerous.
