[QUOTE=arilicious;315230]What challenge(s) is that? Cause TBH there's a lot of people there I don't recognize...[/QUOTE] The video spans from BOTSeasons to The Duel, I think. As for the song, I think it's on BOTSexes 2 and it's "Got Your Money" by Ol' Dirty *******. That video got me all nostalgic.
I wish there was somehow we can see the Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Uncensored episode.
This is random but are Kenny and Evan still not [strike]aloud[/strike] allowed back on challenges? I know the whole Tonya situation but does that really mean I'll never see Kenny or Evan back ? :(

If Tonya wins her case I doubt we will be seeing them back on television.

I don't remember anyone saying that we will never see Evan and Kenny on Challenge again. Didn't Kenny said on Derrick's podcast he was asked for exes with Johanna? I'm not sure about Evan but I think Kenny would like to do one more.
I think Kenny is a bit of a liar, if the producers really did want him they'd have had him with Sarah. Johanna probably was contacted, and had she said yes, it would have been her and Wes for sure.
I personally do not care to see either Kenny and Evan on a challenge again. Give the chance to others to win or appear on tv not those fools.
[QUOTE=gnarly;315467][B]Sarah's 6th challenge in a row.. Just sayin. [/B] So excited for Kellyanne to return! She's one of my favorites. Too bad Cohutta couldn't be there instead of Dunbar. And seriously? Preston? I was really hoping Ryan would do a challenge and that it would be him instead of Preston. It looks like he's considering it on twitter. He's not the greatest person ever but he made his rw season for me. Really good entertainment/drama[/QUOTE] I don't know what this would bother anyone. If I was an alum I'd go every time I was invited. Free vacation with a chance to win money. Sarah made it clear from her first challenge that the main reason she did the Real World was to do these challenges. She'll come back until the stop inviting her--which may be a while.

I mean, hell, I agree with you. It's an awesome opportunity to win money, do cool ****, and meet new people in a country you've probably never been to before. But, that doesn't mean it isn't annoying, as a viewer, to see the same people again and again, ad nauseam. And it doesn't help that, in most cases, the more challenges a person goes on, means the bigger their ego gets and the more likely they are to annoy. But, I will say this about Sarah: the trailer reminded me that I really think she looks great with her blonde hair. I've always thought she had a pretty face and I think the blonde hair really suits her. So, there's that I guess.
I think the bottom line with annoyance of people coming back again and again and again is if they are a villain or if they continue to win each time, or if they bring the same drama each time they are there...Sarah has yet to win and she is far from a villain and she doesn't cry about the same things each time, so I don't see the problem with her coming back time and time again. I also think the blonde hair really suits her, she has a gorgeous face and I think the black hair took away from her a bit because it made her look too goth/Wednesday Addams. When do you all think they'll release the cast pics?

She's definitely willing to completely screw someone over if need be, it's just a matter of whether or not that's going to come up.
I don't give a crap how many challenges someone does. It only gets bothersome for me if the same people are dominating and running it all the time. When JEK was running every challenge like clockwork I got annoyed. As far as them having no job or whatever, I really couldn't give a crap. If they are happy doing it and able to make enough money, more power to them. I'm so hyped to see Alton back. By far one of my favorite challengers. Zach is also something to really look forward too. I hope another dominant female emerges as well to compete with the Emily, Laurel, and Rachel girls. :yahoo:Please let these ratings be good! Let them go through the roof!

So, there's that I guess.[/QUOTE] I can see your point Personally, I no longer watch "The Real World" any more so I want people to continually come back because I don't know probably a third of the people on this challenge. I like the mix of veterans and rookies on this but bringing back Trishelle & Alton as well as having people like Danny, Wes, Melinda, Sarah & Jonna will keep me interested while I get to know the countless newbies. To me Rookies are no different than Fresh Meat, I agree--Sarah looks much better as a blonde.
I personally find it nauseating that the people that return all of the time have egos but I still tune in. I almost forgot Sarah did 6 challenges in a row... because she doesn't have a big ego and she also doesn't win all the time or dominate but still... But I like/understand kvm1977's point. But other viewers just seem so dense as if the regulars on these challenges weren't once newbies themselves at one point. It's like the death of them if Johnny, Kenny, etc. aren't on challenges.
[QUOTE=ViewRam90;315556]I personally do not care to see either Kenny and Evan on a challenge again. Give the chance to others to win or appear on tv not those fools.[/QUOTE] Same. In Tina's recent phone interview, she was asking why cast members give them the power to win all of the time now and it's true. It's like people hand them the check by kissing up to them. The only people who really stand up to them are the old school vets besides Mark Long. I'm glad the cast for this upcoming challenge has a wide variety of people.

It's like the death of them if Johnny, Kenny, etc. aren't on challenges.[/QUOTE] We completely agree For example, I didn't know players like Emily, Jonna & Leroy before the challenges but now i look forward to seeing them. I only know about people from the St. Thomas, SD2 & NOLA2 casts baaed on what I've read and the little bit of the trailer but I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do. I'm sure I'll like some and hate others but I'm not anti-rookies like many are

Johanna probably was contacted, and had she said yes, it would have been her and Wes for sure.[/QUOTE] I feel like it was complete bull**** for production to cast Johnny & Camila as a team on Exes. Every other team on that cast had at least kissed on the aired version of the show. I feel by them casting him with Camila, they wanted to give him a 4th challenge win. They could've found another team to fill in for them who actually did hook up on camera. Unlike Johnny & Camila.
Do you guys remember the days when the challenge intros didn't stink? I miss them having actual songs.
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;315615] But I like/understand kvm1977's point. It's like the death of them if Johnny, Kenny, etc. aren't on challenges.[/QUOTE] I was thinking the exact same thing. Hell newbies/new blood has been long overdue.

[QUOTE=arilicious;315811]He hooked up with Casey on Gauntlet 3 right? Now that would've been better...[/QUOTE] I thought he was cast with Casey but she dropped out and they brought in Camila as a replacement---I could be wrong
[QUOTE=kvm1977;315812]I thought he was cast with Casey but she dropped out and they brought in Camila as a replacement---I could be wrong[/QUOTE] Well if that's true, then that just makes me even more mad, that way Johnny could've known what it was like for the Challengers team to have Casey on their team.
I think it's obvious that Johnny, Paula, Kenny and Evan are feeling a little threatened and jealous about the attention this season is getting with new players. I mean all 4 of them have taken a challenge off before since their challenge debuts so them making a big deal about this one and them not being on has a lot to do with a bunch of new people coming in that can be equally liked by the viewers and these players could give them a run for their money in future challenges...plus all the hype around this new format plus with Trishelle being there and Danny and Melindas presence as well. I think JEK and Paula might be a little scared of their up and coming competition...they've ruled for so long with little fresh blood challenging them....they might get whats coming to them shortly.
I love how the vets are referring this challenge as JV and are really dogging the cast for this challenge possibly trying to set up a rookies vs veterans challenge (Not a Gauntlet 4).
[QUOTE=GiggidyGoo90;315831]I love how the vets are referring this challenge as JV and are really dogging the cast for this challenge possibly trying to set up a rookies vs veterans challenge (Not a Gauntlet 4).[/QUOTE] I am not sure if they understand that and are trying to build up the drama for a potential rookies vs veterans challenge or are really just this bitter. I think it is the latter since they haven't shown themselves to be very bright.
I think the old Challengers have finally realized if they provide BMP with an opportunity to set up a challenge that puts the old familiar faces of the challenge like Johnny, Kenny, Evan, Wes, Mark, Evelyn, & Paula against new faces like Zach, Leroy, Ty, Frank, Emily, Camilla, & Laurel that could pull in high ratings.
[QUOTE=arilicious;315811]He hooked up with Casey on Gauntlet 3 right? Now that would've been better...[/QUOTE] Yeah I know, but they probably contacted Casey and she declined.
[QUOTE=arilicious;315814]Well if that's true, then that just makes me even more mad, that way Johnny could've known what it was like for the Challengers team to have Casey on their team.[/QUOTE] He has had Casey on his team before.
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;315858]He has had Casey on his team before.[/QUOTE] True--the Gauntlet III but Johnny didn't last long
