[QUOTE=ILoveRW;340565]But then Ana's 'fade out... like you did the first time' comment wouldn't make if she was referring to Jess.[/QUOTE] It would if Jess was cool with the Portland kids, and then by the end nobody liked her.
[QUOTE=alucard666;340564]There are pictures of Trishelle hanging out with them, in fact when the lawsuit came out she said on twitter that the whole thing was false because Tonya was unstable[/QUOTE] Of course, Trishelle would have no way of knowning anything.
[QUOTE=Blue123;340334]You would have had to watch the whole episode, that was discussed earlier. The reason why Jen was going to hit Cara was because she slept with Adam. Earlier in the show they were deciding who goes last, Johnny said Laurel is talking to the enemy, and Cara said shes not the only one and Jenn got pissed. btw I'm not arguing, youre sounding arrogant and sounding like youre trying to belittle ppl by saying "thats not what the term rival means bla bla" acting like we all didnt know some rivals were bs, lets be honest we all know this show stretches things but the cara/Jen thing is close to a legit concept. If you want legit formats where everyone fits the theme perfectly, this show isnt for you.[/QUOTE] well said!
[QUOTE=kvm1977;340460]Again, "beef" doesn't equal "rival". Leroy beat Wes head to head--easily could be spun into a rival[/QUOTE] Remember this is MTV. One argument = rival to them. Remember, the young adults who watch it probably don't use words correctly either!
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;340494]Yes it can whether you like it or not. Let me explain something, every Rival from Rivals had a reason that we all remember (except Theresa and Camila). If you can pair up every single person with a LEGIT rival that makes sense, like all of the pairs from Rivals did then I will change my mind, until then, it is ruled out.[/QUOTE] There was a reason. They had a big argument on Cuttthroat :O
[QUOTE=Desertpuma;340532]Tyler and Johnny have history from as far back as Duel 1 Mike was brought into replace Adam after he punched Ty so I wouldn't expect too much of a Rivalry Evan and Nehemiah may not have had a blow up onscreen but JEK has gone after Nehemiah in the past, partially because of his association to Beth Jasmine & Jonna both liked the same guy on RW Cancun and Jonna slept with ******* off Jasmine Paula & Evelyn: I cannot really think of a link off the top of my head. Davis & Tyrie: As above[/QUOTE] P+E: Paula hated Ev for stealing her spot and hard earned money D+T: RW: Denver with that EXPLOSIVE fight
I forgot, not conveniently so, about the Island
I'm really liking the idea of an Inferno IV (even though it probably won't happen). Just for fun I put together a team list for that, but of course, there are many people that one could argue about whether they're actually good or bad, and I also don't know any of the Portland people, but whatever, something different from the whole Rivals topic..... Bad ***** CT Danny Knight Tyrie Frank Zach Wes Johnny Trishelle Naomi Camila Nany Jonna Jemmye Jasmine Aneesa? Good Guys Derek Dunbar Robb Trey Leroy Preston Marlon Jordan Theresa Sarah Paula Cooke Diem Emily Anastasia Jessica

Can we please quit with the hypothetical teams? The same teams are being posted over and over again.
[QUOTE=gamer73;340576]Can we please quit with the hypothetical teams? The same teams are being posted over and over again.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I just finished scouring the last 15 pages and I wanted to say that too. But then I thought to myself, "Crap, this is speculation!" So yeah, this might go on for....another 3-4 weeks left in this challenge?
There's a difference between SHOW format and TEAM format. Vets/Rookies, Good guys/Bad guys are TEAMS that can be on MULTIPLE show formats like Inferno, Gauntlet, or (likely in this case) Ruins..Show formats and team formats are not mutually exclusive. Gauntlet can' be Champions/Challengers just as easily as Ruins can be Vets/Rookies. I don't get why they're being treated as exclusive items. This could be Ruins 2: Good Guys/Bad Guys
[QUOTE=Snake19;340562]The Formats are all pretty similar, it's how the teams are made that I want to know. I had assumed all along it was Vets/Rookies or Old School/New School and now I have no idea. [B]I'm still hoping for a molds mistake[/B] but I doubt it haha[/QUOTE] In which way? Because I can tell you that Ana and Jessica are most definitely home.
[QUOTE=molds13;340580]In which way? Because I can tell you that Ana and Jessica are most definitely home.[/QUOTE] What about Naomi?
[QUOTE=molds13;340580]In which way? Because I can tell you that Ana and Jessica are most definitely home.[/QUOTE] Oh no, not that, the Vets/Rookies thing. I know you're 99.9% right but it's unfortunate to me that guys like Trey, Robb, Frank, and Zach will be "Vets" after this season ruining a CT/Johnny vets team vs a Frank/Zach rookies team, that was my dream format since seeing Zach on SD other than a Duel. Which I guess is still an off chance
All you have to do is count the number of rookies and veterans and realize that this season is not rookie veteran themed. molds13 isn't wrong.
[QUOTE=Lola88;340583]All you have to do is count the number of rookies and veterans and realize that this season is not rookie veteran themed. molds13 isn't wrong.[/QUOTE] I believe he knows that. I think what he was trying to say is that since this isn't a vets vs rooks then there is a possibility that there might not ever be a chance to see a rookies team of Frank/Zach etc. go up against a group of veterans if there were to be a future challenge. After challenge 24 they'll already be considered veterans themselves according to G3 qualifications, but that can always be tweaked.

He just said that he hopes molds made a mistake about it not being rookies/veteran themed because of those reasons
[QUOTE=Lola88;340585]^but that's not what he said. He just said that he hopes molds made a mistake about it not being rookies/veteran themed because of those reasons[/QUOTE] I'm pretty aware it's not reality, granted old school/new school wouldn't be as big a stretch as Rivals. What 2 girls have been on more than 2 challenges? If 5 teams of made up rivalries are viable then a tweaking to arrange only 2 people shouldn't be far fetched to anyone here. Regardless I'm pretty aware like wutz said that it's not any form of a CT/Johnny/Wes vs a Zach/Frank/Trey team, but I still have a problem (until it's a stated fact) accepting they'd throw that opportunity away..especially for another pairs challenge..just wtf is BMP doing? lol
[QUOTE=kvm1977;340420]Okay, molds has stated countless times that it isn't veterans vs rookies--now molds may be wrong but that's the reason that is dismissed. Rivals makes perfect sense as molds stated it appears to be a partner challenge and "rivals" is something easy for them to create because they create rivalries out of nothing.[/QUOTE] Was not aware of that. This thread over 350 pages long. I think they are making a mistake not to capitalize on that rookie vs veteran drama. If it's another partners challenge, it's probably because the best ratings in recent years have been with the Rivals and Exes partner challenges so they want to keep doing them. Still don't see how they can create a rivalry for Leroy or Dunbar. Who would be Jonna's rival? They never showed that scene where Trishelle got in her face and was being mean to her.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;340429]I'll be thrilled if Trishelle leaves early after last season's lack of effort[/QUOTE] Me too. She's good tv but she seems arrogant now and I didn't like the way she treated Sarah and Jonna and then went and did the same thing she criticized them for and faked being sick to get out of a challenge. I believe she is the irrelecant quitter Anastasia is referring to in that angry tweet she posted. It describes someone who used to be something then faded out and has come back to fade out again. Fits Trishelle.
As soon as molds13 knows the format, she will inform us. I will wait on her...her credibility is not questioned by me because I know she researches before she posts anything. Of course, when it comes to the cast that are participating in the challenges it's always a possibility to get one or two wrong but it has happened rarely where she is concerned. Her spin on the way she introduced us to the cast was hilarious.:victorious:
I honestly believe it's a totally new format it's not a sequel or a remake. I think with the cast we have and the fact they don't have anything in common meaning they're not exes or rivals, the rookie/veteran ratio is off, the good guy/bad guy ratio is off, and there are too many people for a duel so I think it's something new. If the next elimination is 2 guys and after that 2 girls then I have a theory that there are 4 teams 2 all male teams and 2 all female teams going at it sort of like Rivals with a Cutthroat draft to make up teams.
I think your fangirl love for Trishelle may be blinding you Elle. I watched the maeathon and Evan and Kenny were not saying nice things about Trishelle. Evan was basically implying she's a ***** by saying things like she probably didn't bring any clothes with her to Vegas. You also imply that Trishelle is a dedicated competitor who would give it her all with Sarah when really she showed she was all talk last challenge by talking crap about other people when she did the same things. And she quit on a challenge and faked being sick just because she didn't feel like doing it. Her team needed her. Nany came through. Not to mention in that water challenge she told her teammates that she had it when she was a disaster. She's all talk. And it's obvious Anastasia is talking about her because she does talk a lot of trash and she's trying to be relevant again. [QUOTE=ellethevegan;340518]THIS IS SO TRUE! They do live together and Trishelle lets him tweet to people from her twitter often because he doesn't have one.. and They both play Poker and have alot of. The same friends in poker.. However im not ruling out the her having to leave early if you guys kept up with Trishelle beforre departure Trishelle did get a really bad sinus infection.. That could of been alot worse/gotten alot worse as time went on I dont think Trishhelle would quit with Sarah as her partner i just dont see it.. she knows her and sarah would be an awesome duo.. Also as far as the vet talk Trishelle is good friends with alot of people.. Kenny and Evan the EK in JEK BOTH HAD ONLY NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT TRISHELLE IN THE RETRO MARATHON.. and Paula is a huge fan and friend of Triselle and her and Diem talkk regularly so yeah lets not start thinking crazy until the facts come out.. Trishelle if she is back is one of the mmore easy people to spot at home she does alot oof events for poker and public spealing and has a new show showing soon with Amanda from Survivor so if she is back home she will definitely be seen publicly soon..[/QUOTE]
Dear mods. Please do us all a favor and close this thread before the insanity becomes infectious. [CENTER][ATTACH]1786[/ATTACH][/CENTER]

LOLWUT?! That wasn't even on their minds.
[QUOTE=Seminole;340572] D+T: RW: Denver with that EXPLOSIVE fight[/QUOTE] IT WAS AN ARGUMENT, NOT FIGHT. SMDH, man.
What's the thoughts on this being like a friends or buddies pairing. Since the rivals exes type seemed easy for the casual viewer to pick up on.
If it does end up being pairs, I'm guessing one of the teams will be Emily/Paula or Emily/Diem. I'm not even gonna try to guess a theme or reason for the pairing (could be random match-ups, who knows). But, if it is pairs, those are my guesses for a team. I want an Emily win; I'm hoping MTV/BMP does too haha.
