The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

Did anyone else like the soulless ginger comment he made at Wes? I thought it was pretty funny.

[QUOTE=Mac756;297497]This is sad. But true. Honestly I stopped watching years ago. The only reason I am paying attention to this season is because I happened to be at a friend's home who had the tv on MTV. I saw an ad for 'Exes' and nearly choked when I saw CT and Diem. Then she told me that CT was already back on Rivals which I went home and stayed up watching the entire night. That's when it hit me how much I miss the older cast and how bored I am with the whole Johnny Evan Kenny Wes Evelyn situation. Maybe they need to try to keep rotating in older members from back in the day to spice it up? I know some are married with kids but it wouldn't hurt to try. And vie seen it thrown around on Twitter as a joke but it might be kind of fun to see what its like if they threw the Jersey Shore kids in the mix. It certainly wouldn't hurt ratings ...[/QUOTE] I would just love to see them on their just to see how unathletic they all are and get their a**es handed to them. CT would make Ronnie look like hes from munchkin land.

But IMO, one of the areas where BMP went wrong was they created shows with rules that did not allow the viewers to get to know the newer, younger generation of challengers. The "voting" methods hurt the newbies and we do not know the newer challengers of the last 5 years or so which may have helped bring the younger fan base who want to follow their favorites from Real World. I love the Challenge, I've been watching from the very beginning. However, the popularity voting has made the game very predictable and not allowed the younger competitors to have a true chance at the game. Don't get me wrong, I think the rookies should pay their dues, however, the same tired story line of the vets running the show is getting old. I never understood why eliminations were based on voting and not the bottom two automatically going into the dome/faceoff/etc. That would make it a truly level playing field. I suppose you lose the drama associated with making the decision on who goes in that way.

[QUOTE]And you know all of this how and according to what?[/QUOTE] Obviously he's speculating but its definitely warranted. The guys on that show just do meathead lifts and look like a bunch of stiffs. Watch the episode where they go to a batting cage and their hand eye coordination looks on par of that of kids

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;297631]Years ago. I mean with it lost it awhile back when the same people kept appearing and appearing in a row on year's end. And you knowall of this how and according to what?[/QUOTE] All you need to do is rewatch what CT did to Johnny on Cutthroat to see how a guy whose sole purpose of working out is to build a big chest & big arms would fair against CT head-to-head...and Johnny is actually a good 20 pounds bigger than any of those goons from Jersey Bore. Sawed off Situation & ***** tits Vinny would get owned even worse.
