The Challenge: Rivals II - Discussion (Spoilers)

If they are gonna cast Trishelle two times in a row I really hope they can bring in some other vets. I honestly don't feel that many old school cast members have a chance anymore, besides the likes of Aneesa, Robin, and maybe with Challenge 25, Susie. I'd love to have another surprise return. I'd be pleased with Ruthie or anyone from RW Boston. Even Dan (RW: Miami), Beth, or Theo (RR Maximum Velocity) would be nice, just as long as no one pulls a Jo. :P
Ruthie brought nothing to the game or drama in the last 3 challenges that she has been on. I've never understood the infatuation with her, maybe it's because I never saw RW Hawaii. Whatever she did so wonderfully in Hawaii, she never brought to the Duel 2, Gauntlet 2 or Battle of the Sexes 2.
For me, Ruthie really shined on BOTSexes 1!! I think it was seeing her go from Hawaii, where she got a pretty bad edit, to BOTSexes where she just did great all around that really highlighted why I liked her so much. She was the underdog that really came back and did great!

The girls were never winning the second BOTS though. She was also doing well in the Gauntlet 2 but made a mistake by allowing the crew to force her to go against Beth--she had no shot against Beth in anything physical. In the Duel 3 she won the "All Shook Up" mission and she was definitely the biggest threat to Rachel in a final. Kimberly did make her look bad in the elimination round though. Ruthie's biggest problem on the challenges is that she doesn't really fit in and had no political/social game but she's mentally tough and a solid athlete

Based on twitter evidence only who is rumored to be on the next challenge?
[QUOTE=Kajun;336299]Based on twitter evidence only who is rumored to be on the next challenge?[/QUOTE] These are the names being thrown around for various reasons. Read with a grain of salt. At least we'll hopefully know in a week ;-) Trey, Robb, Zach, Frank, Leroy, Chet, Dunbar, Johnny, Tyler, Wes, CT, Joi, Nany, Jemmye, Emily, Camila, Theresa, Jonna, Sarah, Paula, Diem, Trishelle
I still don't see how the Instagram pic of Jonna saying she's going to miss her mom 2 weeks ago was relevant to this upcoming challenge. Anyway, if there are any surprises I hope it's Brynn and/or Keri.

Lol i wouldnt hope for that big of a surprise especially with keri. I think a realistic surprise would be coral or cameran.
Coral wouldn't be a surprise. And I loved Cameron on RW but she just didnt have the drive to win challenges, I don't like those kind of competitors.

Coral would totally be a surprise. She hasn't appeared on the show in 5 years, and quit the last challenge she did. Ask the majority of challenge fans if they'd be surprised to see Coral again, guarantee they would say yes. Cameran regardless of your opinion would be a surprise.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;336306]Why not Mallory? Does anyone know the update with Coral and Trishelle?[/QUOTE] Mallory had a successful modeling career for a while not sure what she is up to now. I would love to see her again but I am not counting on it. Coral tweeted someone saying something like maybe you will see one or both us again soon ;) fingers crossed. The girls tweets are private so I have zero idea what she asked. Could have been a number of things.

A surprise is something you don't expect "regardless of your opinion." And since Cam was contacted and agreed to do the last challenge but one of the SD men backed out, wouldn't be a total shocker either. I think what you mean instead of "surprise" is old schooler that hasn't been on a challenge in a minute.

And to the typical fan, not the select few that follow their every move on twitter and post here, they would be a total surprise. Anyone everyone has their own opinion of what a surprise would be so no point in arguing it anymore. Coral is already talking smack to Frank on twitter I love it.
I thought I read somewhere on here that Mallory said she'd be interested (could be wrong). I think it would just be weird seeing Cam again unless it's the right cast and she isn't by herself. You can tell they tried last season and was only able to get what they ended up with - they should have just made it pairs. They really need to put an epic cast together for once, it's really possible, there's so many old schoolers that want to do challenges.

They seemed to put a lot of effort into this season of The Real World, so HOPEFULLY they will do the same for this challenge. Based on the rumored cast, I would say they aren't though.
[QUOTE=Kajun;336314]Based on the rumored cast, I would say they aren't though.[/QUOTE] I disagree, Last season, fans said they wanted Johnny, Ct, and Paula. Well.. they're getting Johnny, CT, and Paula.
[QUOTE=Kajun;336312] Coral is already talking smack to Frank on twitter I love it.[/QUOTE] Thank god somebody stands up to that kid.

Paula? I don't get why anyone would want to see Paula. Johnny snd CT get. In fact I want to see CT, but Frank, Camila, Sarah, Dunbar, Teresa ummm I can think of 50 other quality options.
I'm not saying thats what I WANT, I'm saying that last season a ton of people were *****ing over non of the "true vets" being there. Well, there's a chance they will be now so obviously productions is putting in effort for this one.

That is what gets her back on these challenges. People are either rooting for her to win, make drama, or lose. I would much rather see her than other people who do nothing like Derek, Preston, and JD.

[B]I would much rather see her than other people who do nothing like Derek, Preston, and JD[/B].[/QUOTE] I think Wes had more airtime in 1 episode last season than JD did the entire season. That says a lot. They need to stop casting "fillers" every season. People that don't contribute anything to the show. I'm fine with people who aren't good at the challenges but have good interviews (Devyn, Jasmine) but why cast someone who isn't good and barley speaks? Doesn't make good tv imo.
JD and Preston were staples on their RW seasons. So I don't think they planned on them fading into the background during the challenge (socially, at least. I don't think the producers put Preston on here thinking he could actually..you know..win.)
Has anyone in the back of their minds thought, what if Frank and Zach were to pull the biggest upset in the history of the challenge? Dismantle the jek alliance and were to get by CT. I know as well as 99% of the people here on this thread want to see Zach and Frank (especially) get humiliated by CT or any other veteran, but has anyone else considered this horrid reflection?

These people (barring injury or anything else you guys wanna come up with to refuse to believe) will be leaving from the United States next Monday Morning for the 25th season of The Challenge: Johnny, Tyler, Wes, CT, Chet, Zach, Frank, Trey, Robb, Knight, Leroy, Jordan, Marlon, Paula, Sarah, Diem, Nany, Naomi, Jonna, Trishelle, Ashley, Jemmye, Camila, Jessica, and Anastasia. Now I know a few can be alternates like I dont expect 4 people from Portland to be on but you never know. Expect to see most of these people. Sleepers: Kenny & Evan
I think it is the 24th Challenge since the 23rd was the BOTSeasons2
O ya sorry their leaving on the 25th its the 24th season.
