Favorite Challenge Format?

I like the Duel's simply because only 1 male and 1 female wins....other challenges too many people make it to the end and too many win.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;283962]I like the Duel's simply because only 1 male and 1 female wins....other challenges too many people make it to the end and too many win.[/QUOTE] Yea I know, like on Duel 2, 6 people walked away with a good chunk of change. I like it where it's you either win everything or win nothing.

I liked the format of Cutthroat. I just wish that they had the best players draft the teams instead of the worst.

I think Cutthroat was a good idea I just think it needed a gimmick like RW vs. RR vs. FM. or 1st time challengers vs. New School vs. Old School or Blondes vs. Brunettes vs. Minorities or something coool. I also think The Ruins was good pitting Champs vs. Challengers, the teams just needed to be more evelyn balanced physically.

With that said, I like the Duel format (specifically Duel 1) and Large-Team formats (BOTSexes, Gauntlets, Infernos, Ruins) I am really sick of two person teams right now.

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;283971]I liked the format of Cutthroat.

But after that first round, the vets took over. So it would've been the same, give or take a rookie.

I also would have made it a snake style draft so that the teams could get more balanced (the blue team was terrible outside the top 4 players).

I really liked the Ruins format, but I wish it hadn't been Champions v. Challengers, and instead it had been a schoolyard draft like Cutthroat. I think that format would have been more exciting if the teams had been more evenly balanced.

I liked every aspect of The Ruins format (even having Casey/Shauvon on the same team wasn't TOO bad) EXCEPT the way in which eliminations were chosen. The way it was setup catered perfectly for JEK/Derrick/Johanna/Susie/Ibis type alliances, it was so frustrating and borderline idiotic the way hey did that. And on top of that, as soon as The Challengers had a chance to remove Casey from their team, they instead decided to urinate all over any hope of succeeding during the remainder of the challenge.

Sign me up as a fan of Cutthroat. I hate it when they do two teams and one just smashes the other most of the time. 3 teams allows for more parity. 4 teams would be great too.

I like Cutthroat but I would like it better with a solid cast of 24 instead of 30

I like the Island but think it could do for some tweaking; specifically, don't give the person who gets voted back from the 3-person faceoff a key. Make all 8 keyholders earn their key by winning. Then, anyone who has a key cannot cast votes for any reason (deciding who goes into a faceoff, deciding who leaves from the 2 losing players, etc). Finally, make the teams in the finals randomly decided on the last day. This way it truly is every person for themselves. It gives everyone a strong incentive to get into a faceoff early and win, not just counting on the votes of their buddies to get them a key. Once they have the key, they can't do anything to help others earn a key aside from campaigning between faceoffs. And they can't count on any specific person to help them in the finals. Since random pairings could create some lopsided teams (not that they usually aren't anyway) and you're only as fast as your slowest player, I'd like to see a final which is like a relay-style race. Set the players up in intervals and player 2 can't go until player 1 gets to him/her, etc.

Any challenge with a concept and rule that wasn't so complicated: Duel 1, Inferno 1, Battle of the Sexes 1-2, Fresh Meat and Gauntlet 1 and 3. My least favorite will have to be The Island. I didn't understand anything that was going on especially towards the final where like 8 people went home. It just SUCKED. And Gauntlet 2 was very repetitive, nothing exciting about that format happened besides Adam losing his Captain position.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;302471]I like Cutthroat but I would like it better with a solid cast of 24 instead of 30[/QUOTE] Really? I rather enjoyed the huge cast. Felt like a royal rumble or something. Only problem I had was it was missing some of the bigger names. Actually, at the time I enjoyed that too because I was really tired of seeing JEK and wanted to see Johnny prove himself on his own. (For some reason, I find a panicking/worrisome Johnny Bananas hilarious). Johnny has proved himself in spades now though and with Kenny and Evan only being on one of the last 3 challenges I would be fine seeing them again.

Maybe have the winning team of the challenge be automatically safe. The team that gets 4th automatically goes in. And the teams that got 2nd and 3rd could have their best person, or partership, or whatever (depends on the challenge) compete in the challenge a second time to see who will be going into the elimination round...Just a thought of how they could format it. I would also like to see a better way of picking the teams..Allowing the Red Team to choose first gave them a huge advantage(although I will admit, Camila made some stupid choices..like picking Tori first, when Laurel and Emily were there.)

I like anything with a team format better, that way there's more political drama going on.

Duel II for sure ! I loved how everything was individual, and it was all up to you on winning challenges or elimination rounds.

[QUOTE=AneesaOwnz;311142]Duel II for sure ! I loved how everything was individual, and it was all up to you on winning challenges or elimination rounds.[/QUOTE] Duel II was basically a partner challenge. I think maybe 3 of the challenges were actually individual. I want a Duel that is legitimately individual!

The Cutthroat format was cool, but one thing I didn't like was how uneven the teams became at the end. I really liked the Ruins format too, but having the teams uneven (strength wise) was not fair whatsoever. I was soooo sick of seeing Casey there every week because the Champions team refused to send her in because all it did was benefit them.

I LOVED Rivals, Cutthroat & Battle of the Exes. those are the only ones I've seen :( I can't find other seasons online. FML

I think I kind of miss the good guys vs. bad *****!

Battle of the seasons/battle of the sex and the duel 1-2. I hated the formula for the earlier ones like RRvsRW even though it played a big part in the first 5 years it just got old fast.

I like inferno, and duel
