The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons - Discussion (Spoilers)

I had a moment where I wondered which I'd rather see. I did eventually settle on Frank...but it was not a no-brainer.

[QUOTE=mph922;315750]I hate Johnny for making me utter these words: I agree with Frank. Now I have to go take a long shower and think about what I just did.[/QUOTE] My exact thoughts. It's sickening though how Johnny, Tyler, Paula, Kenny, etc. are all getting universal love on Twitter. Why is trying something new for 1 challenge so bad?

[QUOTE=Edwin;315753]My exact thoughts. It's sickening though how Johnny, Tyler, Paula, Kenny, etc. are all getting universal love on Twitter. Why is trying something new for 1 challenge so bad?[/QUOTE] I have no problem with trying something new but it likely will hurt ratings Remember--not everyone watches the Real World--many people (like my wife & I) only watch the challenges. So, I know about 10 people in this cast and it looks like a lot of them leave early. Now, where I differ is I just look at rookies as Fresh Meat so I want to see people like Zach, Ashley, Devyn, NOLA2 cast, Nany, St. Thomas cast, etc but I'd rather see some old vets return and still want some people I know. I wish there was a DC cast--I really like Emily and Ty's a nightmare which is solid. For me, it's important that Sarah, Jonna, Danny, Melinda, Wes, Alton & Trishelle are on this cast even though I hate Wes & Trishelle. I don't need JEK (actually I hate when they're all together) but I love when people like Susie show up. Like Mark, Robin, Aneesa & Rachel being on last year was awesome for me. Hopefully that makes sense--I rambled.

Or an "old school" RW cast of Coral, Aneesa/Trishelle, Alton/Syrus & CT. I do like them introducing NOLA2, SD2 & St Thomas casts to the challenges but they could have had a great mix of old and new IMO. This cast is fine and Johnny's a tool but I would have liked to have seen more vets with a ton of rookies.

Also, I'd rather see people like Johnny, Evan, Kenny & Paula lose instead of not showing up...JMO...watching Emily take out Paula was perfect during Cutthroat. Watching Evan & Nehemiah lose to CT & Adam was awesome. Would have been great if they beat Tyler & Johnny too but alas...

If anything with their bad attitude the vets are getting people to talk about the challenge! And more people are going to tune in to watch. And I also feel this is going to lead to a Vets Vs Rookies challenge pretty soon!

I'd love nothing more than to see Rachel-Evelyn-Laurel-Emily fight it out....

Just good competition doesn't need to be overly dramatic.

[QUOTE=Anonymousss;315716]HAHAHA yeah thats true :) but I think they want us to believe that they finished first with the end of the trailer. But Las Vegas finished first. Another reason could be that San Diego finished first due to the end of the trailer, [B]however after they finish TJ tells them that they were DQ'ed and Las Vegas finishes second and wins[/B][/QUOTE] What in God's name are you talking about?

What a great cast. I am glad we aren't seeing Johnny, Paula and the usual suspects on this challenge. This cast would be perfect if Scott or Ryan were also on it. However, overall the cast is solid an 8.5 out of 10 for me. I'm glad they brought back some of my favorites. Chet is a cool guy with great morals. He will suprise a lot of people. Most excited to see my girl Sarah kick some butt. I knew she would be back to show how great she is all around. The format is interesting. Probably one of the better concepts I've seen over the past few years.

I wonder why Alton was so mad at Zach

[QUOTE=fantasytijge;315864]I wonder why Alton was so mad at Zach[/QUOTE] Alton stood up for Dustin after Zach confronted him about his past

[QUOTE=Anonymousss;315865]Alton stood up for Dustin after Zach confronted him about his past[/QUOTE] How do you know this?

[QUOTE=Anonymousss;315865]Alton stood up for Dustin after Zach confronted him about his past[/QUOTE] I really hope you're right on your claims, but just like the many of you we've seen, I won't hold my breath.

[QUOTE=Anonymousss;315708]Believe me, San Diego didn't win.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Anonymousss;315714]I guess (and hope) there will be a gauntlet 4. So CT and Johnny can take out these noobs[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Anonymousss;315716]HAHAHA yeah thats true :) but I think they want us to believe that they finished first with the end of the trailer.

No Vets and let's be honest. Team San Diego only had good players: Zach (athlete), Ashley (athlete), Sam (i think she is athletic to), Frank (athlete). Every other team had a weak link. And no other guy was there to beat him in physical contact. If [B]CT, Kenny , Leroy or Ty[/B] was in this challenge, things would be different.[/QUOTE] Mr all knowing, let me guess, anonymous cast member?? Johnny is that you?! And in bold, CT? the guy that has no stamina, Kenny the guy thats not that great at daily challenges and I guess I missed the part where Leroy/Ty were big dogs. I really like Leroy but I wouldnt say he's the biggest threat.

When its get phsycical Leroy/Ty can beat Zach, not other guys like Chet or Dustin who he had to compete against

If we look back at the elimination order: Team Sydney - Ashli Robson, Dunbar Merrill, Isaac Stout, KellyAnne Judd Wes Bergmann and Lacey Buehler/Melinda Stolp Danny Jamieson and Lacey Buehler/Melinda Stolp Brandon Nelson and Cara Maria Sorbello Camila Nakagawa and Eric Banks Jemmye Carroll and Preston Roberson-Charles McKenzie Coburn and Ryan Knight Trey Weatherholtz and Laura Waller Nany Gonzalez and Alton Williams Marie Roda and Robb Schreiber Jasmine Reynaud a[COLOR=Black]nd [/COLOR][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]CJ Koegel [/COLOR] [COLOR=Black]Jonna Mannion and Derek Chavez[/COLOR][B] Jasmine and CJ left before Marie and Robb [/B][/COLOR]

The more I think about the San Diego team, the more threatening they look. Especially once I found out Frank and Zach get along now and Frank is an athlete. And did everyone see that shot of Zach rowing the boat? I didn't watch enough of Brooklyn, but just from seeing Devyn on the after buzz I can tell I'm going to love the girl. She seems like a great person. She said she was told she was the most guarded person on the Real World ever, but she mentioned that if she got on a challenge she would let loose, be herself and not care what anyone thinks. Can't wait to see how the Devyn and Eric hookup started. lol.

[QUOTE=fantasytijge;315864]I wonder why Alton was so mad at Zach[/QUOTE] Now I've watched the trailer again there are 2 scenes where they fight. The first one is where Alton stands up for Dustin. The second one is the fight probably before (it could also be but less likely after) Alton and Trishelle enter the elimination.

Can we speculate on who won based on what we have seen in the trailer in this thread or do we need to PM you about it molds? I have a pretty good screenshot that I am pretty sure shows who wins.

[QUOTE=molds13;315889]He doesn't, he is stating his opinion as facts. Check an earlier post: He has said that Dustin was sent home due to violence, that Las Vegas won, and that San Diego had a good team because they had three athletes and a lesbian. Super reliable, this guy.[/QUOTE] To be honest some things I said are definetely true, however some are not. If I only said true things it would be no more fun to watch the show. So I advice you guys to watch the show (which will be good) and you will see some of my words are just correct. So it's up to you guys what you want to believe or not

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;315890]Can we speculate on who won based on what we have seen in the trailer in this thread or do we need to PM you about it molds?

That's another question
