The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

[QUOTE=RMD1;282297]I would like to see if Adam Royer would be able to do well in the challenges. If so, he could be the next CT. At least from a ratings stand point.[/QUOTE] Lol, he was very irrelevant on Rivals. He will only get recognized on a challenge is it he's amazing at the game or if he gets crazy drunk. Whereas CT's personality draws ratings and gets people interested. So i don't think he will be 'the next CT', maybe more like a Ryan Kehoe.

[QUOTE=Ch@llengeFan;282556]This next challenge is going to be way better than Rivals, I can see just by the cast shaping up already.[/QUOTE] Yeah if the the speculation is correct then I am excited for: Nany: new face, maybe fresh drama and she looks athletic. Mark: we haven't seen him since the Duel 2, idk I think he is entertaining, athletic and maybe he'll go to a elimination round for the first time. Priscilla: new face, it would be interesting to see her in the environment, especially how she acts when she is drunk if they go to a country that is legal for her to drink. Maybe competition wise she becomes an Svetlana 2.0 Dustin: fresh drama, he looks like he is going to be a decent competitor. Adam: drama, drunk madness, we didn't see much of him on Rivals competition wise. Robin: hopefully she lasts more than one episode. Not so excited about Cara Maria, Wes, Johnny and Mandi. Even though the first two are going to bring some kind of drama.

[QUOTE=jojorules;284094]BillyBear, In your post you said you didn't realize Dunbar hooked up with a lot of people on Duel 2. Than said you knew about him and Jodi and Diem. Did you mean Dunbar hooked up with Diem??? If that's true i had no clue. She had a boyfriend i thought, and the fear of CT finding out and killing him seems like a reason not to. But i don't think that's what you meant. It was two posts quoted and than a comment, hard to understand who was referring to who.[/QUOTE] I didn't know Derrick hooked up with so many people, I only thought it was Diem and Jodi. In the S#!t they Shoulda shown, for The Duel II they said Dunbar hooked up with just about all of the girls.

[QUOTE=Blue123;286396]She quit? Why?[/QUOTE]Something with her job I think. I can't remember, but it was something like that.

[QUOTE=jeckenrode09;286654]How much longer til the ENTIRE cast will be known?[/QUOTE] When we know for sure, you'll know. Just got to be patient :D

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;288191]Cara Maria hasnt done anything outstanding. Robin is a good competitor, the team at a good advantage physically is CT/Diem. [B]Strong guys can compensate for weak girls,[/B] Ask Wes about Casey. But its hard for Strong girls to compensate fore weak guys, Ask Evelyn about Luke, or Sarah about Vinny.[/QUOTE] Yea i know and that's why i responded to your post up thread saying that Ty must be doing something right this challenge because i don't think Emily can do all the work herself. Whereas Wes got eliminated and he has Mandi (who is much better than Casey). But none of us know what the eliminations are, we don't even know if they are competing as pairs yet. I'm still crossing my fingers for a team challenge with a twist in the voting process.

If you keep going after d bags, don't act surprised when they treat you badly when you know who you are dealing with. All Adam's warning signs were there, she still kept going to him time and time again, so I would not be surprised in the least if she hooks up with Johnny. I wouldn't expect Johnny is looking for anything besides a challenge hookup and Tv time. It looked like harmless twitter flirting, mostly from Johnny though from the ones i have seen between the two. Nany said on the podcast how she is a new person and isn't going after d bags anymore. Let's see if that holds true. For her sake I hope so. She supposedly cut all ties with Adam R, so if they are on the same challenge, I could see it getting weird quick. If she hooks up with him again, there is no hope for her.

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;284096]I didn't know Derrick hooked up with so many people, I only thought it was Diem and Jodi. In the S#!t they Shoulda shown, for The Duel II they said Dunbar hooked up with just about all of the girls.[/QUOTE] Makes more sense, thanks for reply :)

I think Tyrie will be on the challenge as well, has been working out a lot (and has lost quite a bit of weight) and would fit the couples theme with Jasmine.

Shane and Ryan? I would laugh uncontrollably if it was Ryan and Luke lol! The only other one I can think of would be Davis and Ryan but we know that's not happening. And I'm sure it would be a cold day in hell if Karamo and Willie were magically there.

Dead woman walking to whoever tries to hook up with Leroy while Naomi is there.

They should go ahead and put Johnny/Camila against Paula/Dunbar in some sort of elimination face off type deal, one of those teams should get the boot pretty much immediately [QUOTE=Nostalgic;288436]This is pathetic, all the cool people are leaving. Ugh! So predictable.[/QUOTE] You gotta fight for your right to party, son! This ain't no ****** cake walk in the park.

[QUOTE=jones10389;289451]CT and Mark are 1 & 2 on this challenge. The next level is Wes, Johnny, Abram and maybe Leroy. I think Wes could beat Abram in a 1 on 1. I think that's a very even match up that I would like to see. Wes won the Duel and in my opinion the Duels are the hardest challenge to win especially Duel 1. So I will always rank Wes as a top challenger becuase the Duel is the hardest challenge to win.[/QUOTE] I agree that CT is #1 and Mark is #2, but I think Abram is next and then Leroy, Wes and at the bottom-Johnny.

I think once Johnny returns to twitter it will be clear. He will give it away in a response like he always does if they won. He can't keep it in if he won. Camila's the only one of the finalists who is tweeting again not sure if that matters/means anything. Camila probably is just happy if they got 2nd and moneyed, as opposed to Johnny who wouldn't be as happy just cashing because he is used to winning so her tweets don't mean a whole lot to me and they don't even mention winning. Just because their are usually 3 teams in finals and the challenge is apparently over, doesn't mean their was 3 final teams. But i would bet 3 teams were in the finals.

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;300223]Even if Robin lost to Camila it is still an ******* move to intentionally throw an elimination round with a partner.[/QUOTE] [U][URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=13039"][IMG]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/43384f6404786fbe6.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/U]

How can I do a screen shot with my phone?

[QUOTE=icubaby;285374]My speculations from this thread: Something happened with Nany that no longer lets her compete, so Adam had to be let go…[/QUOTE] Oh god I hope not :( . I looked back through the pages and couldn't find anything to back it up.. why do you say that?

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;282304]Lol, he was very irrelevant on Rivals. He will only get recognized on a challenge is it he's amazing at the game or if he gets crazy drunk. Whereas CT's personality draws ratings and gets people interested.

[QUOTE=JSilver23;287926]I can't think of why people are being let go SO soon (when comparing it to past challenges). [/QUOTE] Perhaps the answer lies in whether or not you can think outside the box. There are many ways the total challenge time can be shortened, thus speeding up the elimination timeline. Injuries also are a storyline when they happen to popular/recognizd characters. Storylines nearly always = episodes. The "challenge" series is a business enterprise. The more efficient it becomes, the greater the potential bottom line ($$$$), assuming that nothing in the efficiencies implemented result in bad TV. As a Viacom stockholder, I want short production schedules and "long" returns. The stock has lost $8 per share in value over the past year. Think outside the box.

[QUOTE=Fresh Prince;288954]I don't see why BMP would start this practice after so many seasons and half way through the show. Also I think most, if not all, people who read the spoilers still end up watching the show anyways.[/QUOTE] My guess would be they broke for Thanksgiving and to change locations so they are now doing the final push. I think it would be hard to get an entire cast and crew to film over a major holiday. Plus, I have trouble believeing BMP would cough up extra money to avoid spoilers because this crowd is so petty, the losers might try to ruin the winners' chance to get even more money IMO.

lol if it's like cutthroat with awkward teams six people who have dated, it could be like Wes and his hookups Kelly Anne, Johanna (unlikely but w/e) Theresa, Mandi, and Kenny and Couhatta on a team, and maybe CT, Diem, Shavoun Derrick, Laurel, Jodi and whoever else they hooked up with. And Danny, Mel, Brandon, Abram, Cara and Coral. And put Ev, Brook, Casey, Johnny, Tyler and Ryan or Camilla instead of Casey cause Brook and Casey on a team would suck but could be funny to see the other 3 strong competitors get all annoyed by it. And I guess the rest of the LV RW season on a team. Iam thinking too far into this but w/e lol just speculation.

[QUOTE=InfamousJoks;285378]Oh god I hope not :( . I looked back through the pages and couldn't find anything to back it up.. why do you say that?[/QUOTE] If that is true it doesn't mean it has to be something bad. Maybe something great and unexpected came along or maybe she is backing out because of the Tonya thing or maybe she will still go and that tweet was related to something else where Adam had expectations that fell through that Nany had no control over. Who knows.

Adam Royer has to be the biggest idiot on the planet to lie on his Psych Evaluation especially on questions where there is actual footage of him doing those things. As a matter of fact who lies on a Psych Evaluation anyway its not like a job application.

Hi all! Stoked about a new season! And I like some of the cast I've seen. Will be interested to see how Johnny fares without Kenny and Evan. Hopefully CT comes into the game and just starts taking people out. This thread is huge and I haven't been on in a long time. Has it been announced what the format of the game is?

If this challenge has 14 guys and girls then it maybe a team or pairs challenge. So far the past challenges have been 10 to 11 episodes long also.

I'm absolutely heartbroken at the idea of Leroy gone. Nooo! Who will I have left to root for now? I was hoping he would make it to the end. Nany said Naomi is the least athletic person she ever met, so it can't help that Leroy is paired with her. He should have hooked up with Cooke! I really wish the format was split into two teams somehow. More drama happens on a team filled with a lot of paranoid people. I'm kind of bored with the whole Dunbar/Paula/Johnny making it to the end too. And Camilla and Robin annoy me. CT and Diem make a powerful team I think. Johnny and Camilla too because both are good performers on missions. I'm surprised Tyrie and Jasmine are supposedly still there. Jasmine is so tiny and Tyrie is another one of those guys who looks athletic but constantly screws up. lol!

I want CT to win, but at this point I just don't want to see him go home before finals again. Everyone seems to fear him soo much in a final, i'd love to see him in a final against these guys (Mark/Johny). Him and Diem combined is probably the toughest combined team for a final. Both have strong endurance and would do well individually in a final IMO.

[QUOTE=roxylala;289473]I agree that CT is #1 and Mark is #2, but I think Abram is next and then Leroy, Wes and at the bottom-Johnny.[/QUOTE] I'd put: Mark CT Abram Johnny Wes *huge gap* All the other guys.

[QUOTE=faceless;282281]I know you like new faces and want that and it's fine and all but I think that the casters like CT being around because they know he can help carry a season. With the show not doing as well as it used it, it'd be risky to cast a ton of new faces or even old faces that haven't done many challenges. They don't know if a cast with half new people, 25% vets who haven't done challenges and 25% regulars who usually fall into the background.[/QUOTE] Why would it be risky to cast a bunch of new people? They've done it several times before and the show survived. Both Battle of the Sexes had primarly new faces as did The Duel 1 and The Gauntlet 2(I might rethink this) And back then they didn't know how the newbies would be either. I know the show was in better shape ratings wise but still. I bet they didn't know what to expect with them. And It's not like the General Public won't know anything about recent castmembers...I mean People are still watching The Real World and let's not forget that a bunch of Non-castmembers jumped in on these things and the show didn't suffer for it(But it should have IMO)so I think that Casting several newbies would be a good thing..Because Like I said CT(or any of the other older castmembers) won't say yes everytime.

[QUOTE=CzarEric;286140]Was Shane and Ryan's thing ever actually mentioned on screen? I know that they had previously dated, but I don't remember ever seeing anything about it during Fresh Meat (or any of the following seasons featuring Ryan). I know BMP likes to stretch things out and make something out of (almost) nothing, but I figured if they're going with this relationships theme, that there'd be some type of footage to at least attempt to back up the claim that the two had been in a relationship. Personally, I feel like this one is grasping at straws.[/QUOTE] As far as I know, it was only mentioned in the aftershows on FM1. Also, Shane has mentioned that he and BMP are not on speaking terms. I would love for him to come back, he's a solid competitor with a great attitude and a lot of humility.

[QUOTE=molds13;286653]Adam posted a couple of pictures to his Twitter account. One was something to the effect of "My friends would say that I have a drinking problem" and another was something like "After drinking, I have a tendency to break things". EDIT: He still has them on his Twitter account: [/QUOTE] Wow, that guy is truly an idiot to post that. So i guess that's why there are no psycho, aggressive drunks this season. (Laurel, Frank, Ty, etc...) lol

[QUOTE=GoPats;287171]Hi all! Stoked about a new season! And I like some of the cast I've seen. Will be interested to see how Johnny fares without Kenny and Evan.[/Quote] Johnny w/out Evan and Kenny did you see cutthroat ? Lol

I guess I'm the only one rooting for Johnny to do well. I wouldn't mind Abe winning it either. BTW, I hope the reason they are filming this challenge so fast (if that is the case) is so they can air it quicker. They need to capitalize off the success of Rivals IMO.

If something's odd about either Vinny/Sarah or Wes/Mandi, is it possible that Sarah's still there but Vinny isn't for some reason? If not, then maybe Wes left for some reason and they let Mandi stay the night or whatever to see if they could replace Wes or to not punish her for something Wes did.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;300225][U][URL="http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=13039"][/U][/QUOTE] Lol I thought the exact same thing, and on the podcast Evan was like worst partner ever: Nehemiah Clark! Lmao I'm sure he was just trying to be funny but it was so ridiculous.

[QUOTE=bombshell917;283837]Leroy is going to see Adam soon. [/QUOTE] I'm not too excited to see Adam again, although Adam and Nany in the same house again should be entertaining. So its Johnny, Adam R, Nany, Leroy, Mandi, Paula, Wes, Mark, Kelly Anne and Cara? And the cast is usually 28 people?

[url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=12051][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/32104eb303bd4a737.png[/img][/url] Jemmye's a no.

[QUOTE=GiggidyGoo90;286659]Adam Royer has to be the biggest idiot on the planet to lie on his Psych Evaluation especially on questions where there is actual footage of him doing those things. As a matter of fact who lies on a Psych Evaluation anyway its not like a job application.[/QUOTE] He's an even bigger idiot to post it online lol

Aneesa with Rachel??

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;289476]If something's odd about either Vinny/Sarah or Wes/Mandi, is it possible that Sarah's still there but Vinny isn't for some reason? If not, then maybe Wes left for some reason and they let Mandi stay the night or whatever to see if they could replace Wes or to not punish her for something Wes did.[/QUOTE] Although Sarah has not been tweeting, there was a recent tweet to her from someone who would know if she were home. I expect it was intended to be a DM rather than a public message.

[QUOTE=jojorules;290241]I think once Johnny returns to twitter it will be clear. He will give it away in a response like he always does if they won. He can't keep it in if he won.

Just because their are usually 3 teams in finals and the challenge is apparently over, doesn't mean their was 3 final teams. But i would bet 3 teams were in the finals.[/QUOTE] Emily is tweeting too, I'm sure Johnny will be on twitter soon and will tell us all the hookups and eliminations. The suspense is killing me! lol Edit: AND hes back!

[QUOTE=GiggidyGoo90;282558]Evan said that on Derrick's podcast I think because they orignally wanted Dustin even to replace Adam but they didn't want him in that environment that soon and having to explain his gay past again to those guys[/QUOTE] Evan is an idiot and shouldn't speak about things he doesn't know. From what I have heard they originally wanted Mike and Dustin to be partners but Dustin said no to the availability call.

[QUOTE=lulax3;282267]So idk maybe its to early to speculate and maybe I am reading it way too much into it. But for some reason I think Priscilla got a availability call or something. She is not in school anymore, she is starting in January again and she is taking some kind of test this week.[/QUOTE] Looking foward to see priscilla on a challenge Btw no davis on the next challenge i found a rescent interview on some site ([URL]http://********************.com[/URL]) and they asked him: [B]08. Can we expect a return from you in the near future?[/B] I got a call to be on the upcoming challenge but I have a fulltime job right now so it wouldn't work out. I may do another but I also told myself in college I didn't want to become one of those guys who never does anything else with their lives but challenges and I promised myself I'd ever only do three, which I've done now.. So I may just leave it as it is, although I would really love to go on one and win... so who knows!

It could've been Nany that failed the psych test...haha.

Im not saying that a girl/girl or a Guy/Guy pair should not be allowed but if the challenges,elmination rounds are like Rivals its not fair to have 2 girls go up against a guy and a girl or a guy and a girl go up vs 2 guys.
