The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=YvanEhtNioj;324837]Thank. You. Jasmine, Nany, and Cara are alright but I want the heavy-hitters to come out and play; People like Marie, Laurel, cough cough Camilla cough cough, Rachel, Ruthie, and Ev. Eric from NOLA and Mike Manning are also two that I think could put up a good fight against the big guys.[/QUOTE] Kimberly and KellyAnne too. *cough* Aviv, Chanda, Linette *cough* Don't care if they weren't in drama they seemed like they would do great if asked back, especially Chanda.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;324840]Kimberly and KellyAnne too. *cough* Aviv, Chanda, Linette *cough* Don't care if they weren't in drama they seemed like they would do great if asked back, especially Chanda.[/QUOTE] [B] Chanda was a BEAST[/B]. I wonder why she never became a regular.. I remember that she was a teacher or something of that nature, I'm guessing she focused on that.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;324840]Kimberly and KellyAnne too. .[/QUOTE] Add Emily to that list as well--people seem to always leave her out for some reason.

I already forgot she was on the show.

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;324850][B]Because she was boring and very transparent.[/B] She was very forgettable....see? I already forgot she was on the show.[/QUOTE] That didn't stop them from Casting Ryan, Mandi, and Theresa(and a few others).

I always figured we'd see Johnnie back.

Laurel Stucky ‏@laurelstucky Oh! You know what I’m excited about #TheChallenge fans. Can’t tell ya yet, but I will soon. @MTV.com Laurel just tweeted this wonder what it could be about

Probably an availability call. I kinda miss Laurel rather see her over Cara Maria, Mandi and Camilla combined.

Yeah I was dead excited for Laurels return, but listening to her on a recent podcast she seems to have got her **** together and grown up a lot, sigh.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;324983]That didn't stop them from Casting Ryan, Mandi, and Theresa(and a few others).[/QUOTE] Okay, fine maybe she hated the experience and didn't want to do another challenge. Better?

I'm extremely excited for Laurel to do another challenge! She's been missed and I'm hopgin she can finally get that win. As far as a females heavy-hitters team goes, I'd say: Evelyn, Laurel, Emily, Kellyanne, Camila, & Rachel. I wouldn't consider Marie a heavy-hitter.

[QUOTE=ViewRam90;325012]Probably an availability call. I kinda miss Laurel rather see her over Cara Maria, Mandi and Camilla combined.[/QUOTE] Mandi only did what 3 challenges. She's pretty cool, IMO. At least she's not Casey.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;325046]Mandi only did what 3 challenges. She's pretty cool, IMO. At least she's not Casey.[/QUOTE] She's done at least four that I can think of (FM2, Cutthroat, Rivals, Exes).

Maybe Ashlee (NOLA) could become a "heavy hitter but I don't think KellyAnne or Camila would have a realistic shot against any of the top 4. Evelyn would have KellyAnne her with ease during The Ruins if she didn't throw it.

Camila, Sarah and Kelly Anne have already done better than some of the other girls in the past so I would say they have more than just "a shot." Sarah has done better than both Laurel and Emily on multiple occasions during Cutthroat and Exes. Same thing with Camila on cutthroat, Rivals and exes. On Exes especially, she was debatably the most consistent girl in the missions. Camila went into elimination with Laurel twice and produced a nail biter both times so beating her seems realistic. Kelly Anne already beat Rachel so there is not much to be said there. I don't see anybody(Laurel, Rachel, Emily) beating Evelyn unless the competition involves serious luck.

[B] I don't see anybody(Laurel, Rachel, Emily) beating Evelyn unless the competition involves serious luck.[/B][/QUOTE] Rachel I can agree with, I truthfully never got on the "Rachel is the strongest ever" bandwagon, but Laurel would have a very good shot against Evelyn, and personally, I would take Emily over Evelyn in almost anything. It's a shame we will (supposedly) never get to see Ev against any of these girls.

It's a shame we will (supposedly) never get to see Ev against any of these girls.[/QUOTE] I remember Abe on his formspring was asked who he thought would win a pole wrestle type elimination round between Ev/Laurel/Rachel after the airing of Cutthroat and he chose Rachel. He once said that Rachel is the ideal female competitor and partner. I do think that Rachel is a fantastic competitor and one of the best but I still see [I]the[/I] best is Evelyn. I can only see Laurel and Emily beating Ev in an event where size and weight is the deciding factor. Laurel did do better than Ev on Fresh Meat 2 in some of the missions but that was due to Ev's being the guinea pig for a good handful of the missions. She also did not train or prepare for that challenge. Jodi seems to have been forgotten but I think she's up there as well.

I think Jodi's forgotten because, if I recall correctly, she lost the only elimination round she ever competed in against Veronica--not that it was a good elimination round to judge someone on but I'd probably have her 5th on my list in terms of physically strong players. Of course, Rachel's never done a one on one elimination round so maybe Jodi's just forgotten because she's been gone since The Duel. The reason I put Emily, Evelyn, Rachel & Laurel in a different league is because of the way the look at/approach competition. They compete, to steal a quote from Mark Long, "almost like a dude". They flip that switch when they need to. I think Adam King said something during The Ruins like even the best competitor is only going to beat you about 70% of the time and that may be true--it comes down to what the elimination round is. All of my top 4 could definitely lose an elimination--especially one that involved a mental aspect. I can see ranking Evelyn first but I tend to agree with Abram and say it's Rachel. I think there can be a strong argument made for any the 4--maybe even Jodi. Also, I'm against judging players on "missions". I think how they perform in elimination rounds (mainly individually) and finals is the true test.

I'll never forget about Jodi, and she'll always be in my top 5 females. Personally, if I had to do a draft of females I would take: 1. Emily 2. Jodi 3. Evelyn 4. Rachel 5. Laurel I chose Rachel over Laurel because I like Rachel's approach to the game better than Laurel's. Also Rachel (for the most part nowadays) stays out of the drama and Laurel is always ready to put a target on her back. You really can't go wrong with any of these girls, I just think I would feel safest with Emily. She's a serious bad-*** and I can never see her giving up. I think she encourages her teammates in a positive, but firm way. The way she was jumping around and smiling and yelling for Ty during the Dome against CM and Abe really showed an awesome aspect of her personality. Emily also has the drive to win like the other girls, but she doesn't seem to let it get to her head or affect her mentally in a negative way. We have seen that with Jodi, Evelyn, Laurel, and Rachel. Just my opinion though.

Camila even came close to beating Laurel on Cutthroat.

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;325025]Okay, fine maybe she hated the experience and didn't want to do another challenge. Better?[/QUOTE] Much better. I wouldn't mind if Laurel did another challenge. As I think that she's the only Fresh Meat that is entertaining and has made an impact on these things.

[QUOTE=Kripsters1;325110]Didn't Abe also said on Cutthroat that Cara Mara was better then Laurel, when they wanted to send Laurel in?[/QUOTE] He was also banging her lol. I think his judgement may have been slightly clouded.

[QUOTE=RMD1;325113]He was also banging her lol. I think his judgement may have been slightly clowded.[/QUOTE] He even admitted that later on and told Cara Maria before the final mission that if he had to bet he would bet on her holding them back.

People keep saying that Evelyn is better than Rachel and I think there's nothing to back that up. Evelyn is not far and beyond the best player, a great example of this was on Fresh Meat 2. Challenges 3, 4 & 5 were all determined by the best female player. All three challenges were totally physical too. And what happened, Laurel smoked her on all three of them. Rachel dominated the Duel 2, which had some of the most physical bouts ever. People keep saying Jodi, but remember the female field on Duel 1 was very weak and some of the games there were not very physical, like ice breakers. Another thing about Emily, she failed to swim faster than Jenn and Camila, neither of whom are known for great stamina. I would rank the females as Rachel, Evelyn, Laurel, Emily, Camila/Jodi

Emily improved greatly with the swimming between Cutthroat and Exes...that was her one weakness but she seems to have fixed that. Sarah & Camila may be the best swimmers of the girls. Jenn's also very underrated overall IMO.
