[QUOTE=molds13;303335]Yes, really, which is exactly why I said it is too early to start speculation on the cast.
You don't know when filming will start, so you can't say for sure that filming is about a month away.
Also, Vegas Bash is normally in the fall. No way he is talking about that.[/QUOTE]
Vegas Bash is the weekend after the Big Brother finale, which will be on the same schedule as last year, mid-September.
[B]Once again: this is not the thread to talk about who you want to see on the next challenge. As the title of the thread clearly states, this is to talk about what is going to be after the current season of the Real World as well as the next Challenge.

I've wanted to see Duel 3 for some time now, but I feel like with the last 2 pairs challenges, they've really built up a lot of steam for individual competitions, especially pointing at certain partners over the last 2. How will CT fare by himself? Johnny without his partner in a duel setting? (Since he got knocked out in Duel 1 and wasn't in Duel 2) Besides that, I really feel like they'll use some of the partners over the last two challenges as a way for people to think, "Well ****, I feel bad they have that partner, I wonder how they'd do individually." Jasmine and Jonna come to mind. I'm curious how they'd both to by themselves.
[QUOTE=GoPats;303415]I couldn't care less what the format of the next challenge is. BFF's. Good guys vs bad guys. Challengers vs Champs. [B]Shirts vs Skins[/B]. Whatever.[/QUOTE]
Now if they do guys v. girls and shirts v. skins in that order in the same season, I bet their ratings would go through the roof :)

I know that and respect the rules but it still doesn't make sense. why have a thread about whats after it if you can't speculate just a tad, it just doesn't seem right.

Ok wait then I dont get it, I'm supposed to talk about the next challenge that's after botexes but not the cast? So its just strictly format only? We have no idea what the format is unless we know the cast.

It just says not to say who you want on the season. I think there's a difference between posting screenshots regarding cast members talking about "receiving interesting phone calls" or "going on a 4 week vacation in a few months" and just saying that you hope a certain cat member will be on the next season.
Yeah, we will know something in June I'm for sure. Hopefully they get started filming in June the sooner the better. We probably won't see this challenge until like October at the latest if this is the case.
Sometimes I think they drop hints on purpose. Like Mark knows he's going to get like 100 tweets asking "are you talking about the next challenge?!" But I didnt tweet him asking the obvious. And since he said he's betting on him then I hope its an individual challenge and of course he could be talking about something else that's also happening during the rumored date of filming.

Individual? 95 % positively "No."
You know as much as I would love (and I think everyone else including challengers) an individual challenge like a Duel 3, I completely understand why MTV and The Challenge production want to stick with the gimicky partner challenges, to be honest they are easier to follow and probably easy to cast for as well.
I was trying to think of what gimick they could use for another partner challenge, because I dont think they will do another Rivals so soon. I know many people have been joking about Best Friends, but I seriously think a Battle of the Seasons could be in store. Obviously it wouldnt be like the original BOSeasons but more like 13 teams of 2 from past Real World seasons. I dont think they have any girls willing to do another challenge for Road Rules, it's a possibility to do a Fresh Meat 2 team I guess. Anyway I'm sure they could find a girl and a guy to partner up from these respective seasons:
San Diego 2.0
Las Vegas 2.0
DC
Cancun
Brooklyn
Sydney
Key West
Austin
Denver?
Hollywood?
St.Thomas?
Fresh Meat 2?
Las Vegas?
New Orleans 2.0?
San Diego?
Just a thought.

Ok then it better not be some corny format, I dont get bmp/MTV everyone says they want to see duel 3 so listen to us. Rivals was a good idea but botexes didnt really interest me. Since Zack is there I'm guessing its not a past history format and maybe rookies vs vets or bad ***** vs good guys kind of thing.
The Duel 3 will only be good depending on who's willing to participate. If BMP makes availability calls and a lot of entertaining cast members aren't available/don't want to do it then The Duel 3 wouldn't be a good format.

Who is "everyone?"
@ 1.7 million viewers watched Exes every week. About 20 people at this site have said they want Duel 3. If BMP/MTV gave a **** what people here think, they would long ago have engaged the site owner in a discussion about cooperating to produce a bigger audience for both RW and the Challenges. They could also have provided content to grow the fan base for other MTV shows. None of that has ever happened. Why, on the question of format, would they now do more than read this site and laugh hysterically?

Not individual challenge could be pairs or teams and either one could have different combos. A pairing I think could be interesting would be to pair a winner with a first week eliminated; a second place with a second week eliminated and so on. They could also pair people with their unrequited crush; BFF's; Oldest-Youngest pairs; just lots of contrived possibilities....it will be easier to discern once we know some of the cast. Until then, it is just absurd to even try to guess based on maybe Zach will be there.

Yeah 1.7 million watched but I wasn't one of them, and wasn't Rivals rated higher? That may have made people watch this one. On twitter all I see is people wanting Duel 3, same with the comments on MTV, I've heard a few wanted a 3 teams type thing but haven't heard anyone say they want another partner challenge or some other weird format. But of course MTV/BMP know everything that's why Fresh Meat and Cutthroat's ratings were so good. Even the way they edit stuff makes the show more boring, FM2 did not have to be a Kenny vs Wes thing but it wasn't turned into that. And people have been mentioning a BFF format, that's just speculation right? Hopefully that's not actually a rumor because IMO that would be the dumbest format ever.
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;303759]No, no it was not.[/QUOTE]
It rated much higher than Cutthroat so it was probably the reason the challenge ratings have gone up. Maybe people didn't watch Rivals until later, I dont know but IMO Rivals was more entertaining than BOTExes, people are allowed to disagree though.

I suspect that was because the rivals pairs were same *** pairs nd people are going to be more mouthy against the same gender IMO.
If not an individual challege, than I'd like to see two teams (a la Gauntlet).
Paired challenges aren't as interesting to me.
And I like the infighting that takes place when the team has to deliberate as to who they are going to send in.
I think what they're trying to do is gather more viewers by having more viewer-friendly challenges. A challenge called "Rivals" or "Exes" has much more story behind it than a challenge named "The Inferno" or "The Gauntlet". They may be wanting to build the fan base and then do something what the viewers want like The Duel. The past two challenges have been good with ratings so why quit what you're doing right now?
