No she won't. She is currently at $62,000 won. If the first place teams win $150,000 each (I doubt it since the prize pool is $350,000 and every team made money, so I don't think they would split $50,000 amongst 4 teams) she would barely pass Rachel and not pass Eveyln or Jodi.

Just look how many times she tried to win it and then you might get it why she might be the most successful female challenge competitor.
I'm pretty sure the first place pot will be 250k just like it was last season, with 4 people each getting 62.5k. Then 2nd place will split 60k four ways so, 15k for each 2nd place person, and last place will get 40k each, so 10k split 4 ways. Pretty fair break down. Or maybe they'll just go back to the Duel 1 money break down where only 1st place gets cash. Johnny would have a fit!
Did Cara Maria [strike]dead[/strike] die or something? I know she likes to take a break off social media after a challenge but she hasn't been active for a month now.

She may be off with Abram and ignoring social media. After all, the guy does not even own a TV.
I posted in one of the threads here some time ago that without mentioning the challenge (since she didn't think she would be on it), she said she would be away from Boston and social media, with Abram, until September. She seems to be keeping her word.
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;346318]Frank is going on a rant on twitter. I wonder who he is referring to. I just want to see some twitter fights because they all seem like friends.[/QUOTE]
I think he is maybe talking about castmembers from RW,maybe Zach,no reason what so ever,just a feeling,we still dont know if they are still friends,but i agree i want to see some drama
Rivals is a great theme challenge, but way too early to have a second installment. I think the viewers are getting tired of paired theme challenges and want team theme challenges again. Anyways here's what I think of the paris and beware for a lot of negativity…
[B][U]Guy Pairs[/U][/B]
[B]CT & Wes:[/B] The only pair that are 100% rivals. These two hate each other and MTV/BMP better show clips of their heated arguments on Rivals and the Duel. Overall Rivals- 10/10
[B]Jordan & Marlon:[/B] These two dislike each other after the whole Nia situation so I guess this pairing works. Overall Rivals- 8/10
[B]Leroy & Ty:[/B] Sorry, but this pairing does not work. Just because Leroy told a drunk Ty to shut up does not make them rivals. Ty would've been better off being partnered with Adam R. Overall Rivals- 1/10
[B]Knight & Preston:[/B] Weak rival pair with very weak players. Overall Rivals- 3/10
[B]Zach & Trey:[/B] Another stupid pairing, Just because one person says I don't like him doesn't make them rivals. You have to have a serious argument or a heated battle to become real rivals. Overall Rivals- 1/10
[B]Dunbar & Tyrie:[/B] By far the stupidest pairing! I'm a Challenge diehard fan and I can't even remember these two even talking to each other. MTV says their rivals from the Island Challenge, but just like everybody else they don't remember **** from that Challenge because it was the worse in history! Overall Rivals- 0/10
[B]Johnny & Frank:[/B] This pairing just goes to show you how amazing technology has come, I mean these two loudmouths are rivals over TWITTER, TWITTER! I guess when MTV/BMP shows clips of how this pair came about they won't use video, just screenshots over their Twitter accounts. Overall Rivals- 0/10
[B]Derek & Robb:[/B] Another boring pair over a little stupid drunken fight. I guess BMP were desperate for fill ins. Overall Rivals- 1/10
[B][U]Girl Pairs[/U][/B]
[B]Emily & Paula:[/B] As if Paula couldn't get a lucky, not so really rival partner again lol. First time around Ev and Paula weren't really rivals and the same can be said this time around. However at least these two have gone into battle two times in the past so I won't be too harsh on the overall rival rating. Overall Rivals- 4/10
[B]Trishelle & Sarah:[/B] Same boat as the Zach/Trey and Derek/Robb pairing, but with a more edge to their rival pairing. Overall Rivals- 3/10
[B]Nany & Jonna:[/B] Just like the Dunbar/Tytie pairing, I can't remember these two talking to each other. Overall Rivals- 0/10
[B]Cooke and Naomi:[/B] All the three gals on RW: Las Vegas didn't like Cooke, but Cooke being paired with Heather would've made more sense. Overall Rivals- 1/10
[B]Camila & Jemmye:[/B] Read Derek/Robb. Overall Rivals- 1/10
[B]Anastasia & Jessica:[/B] Another Zach/Trey, Robb/Derek pairing. Just desperate for fill ins at this point. Overall Rivals- 2/10
[B]Diem & Aneesa:[/B] Just like Dunbar/Tyrie, I don't see the rivalry. Overall Rivals- 0/10
[B]Jasmine & Theresa:[/B] See Robb/Derek. Overall Rivals- 1/10
Overall really weak pairings for a great theme challenge like Rivals.

Overall really weak pairings for a great theme challenge like Rivals.[/QUOTE]
The Emily/Paula ranking is a bit harsh. As said, they faced off twice in elimination rounds and you have the clip of Paula sending Emily into the Dome on Exes and also the clip of Emily appearing to be jealous of Paula/Ty on Exes, too. Sarah/Trishelle had an entire episode dedicated to their rivalry or whatever you would like to call it, so it's more of a 5/10, at least. Naomi woke up Cooke up from her own bed and had a very heated, drunk argument with her. Cooke could have been paired with any other girl from Vegas. Camila/Jemmye sounds much more interesting than Derek/Robb, especially sicne it seems they had more of an actual argument with the whole: rookies acting like *******. Jessica/Ana have drama on the next episode as well, it seems and they already have footage of: Ana saying she doesn't like Jess, both of them arguing.
The lamest pairing to me is Leroy and Ty. I love those guys, but there was no beef there. It would have made better sense to have Tyler be Leroy's partner.
I wonder if Zach and Frank fell out because they used to tweet each other all the time. And you would think after a challenge if they were cool, they would trade fun barbs. Zach, Wes and CT seem cordial on twitter. Not a lot of interaction with Johnny Bananas.
A lot of the females like Nany/Jonna/Jasmine/Jemmye seem really chummy. I love it. Love those girls. I know Frank is cool with Jonna. Wonder who he got in drama with.

I think so too, Frank is open about who he became friends with and tweets them regularly, I'm guessing he doesnt tweet Johnny a lot is cause theyre partners, not sure if thats a rule cause the girl teams talk to each other, CT/Wes dont talk openly but they hang out when they see each other so I'm sure they get along.
Zach hasnt talked or mentioned Frank at all and he seems like he's friends with CT/Wes now and those 2 have no interaction with Frank either. I'm guessing those 3 teams worked together on this one and since Zach lost to Knight/preston it doesnt look like he was screwed, we dont know how the eliminations work but it seems like they gave him knight/Preston as the easy win, doubt it was the other way round, like why would they want to get rid of Knight/Preston? Maybe they butted heads over something else, it would be cool if those 3 teams tried to get rid of each other the entire time.

Wasn't the only other option Ty & Leroy? It is very possible Knight & Preston wanted Zach & Trey. Trey's the weakest of the four IMO
My bad--the Portland kids were still a possible option

Ya I dont see Knight/Preston saying they want Zach/Trey, it could also be some kind of thing where maybe Knight/Preston got last and they didnt want to put in the other teams cause they thought they could beat them in a final so they put in Zach/Trey cause they knew they would come back but they were hoping for a fluke elimination cause they might have thought Knight/preston would go home against any of the other teams . Maybe Johnny/Frank won that day and they made that decision and maybe CT/Wes were against it, the other scenario seems more likely but its 1 of those 2 scenarios, cause I doubt the "mob" lost the majority cause if they did they could have put 2 of the 3 top teams against one another, without knowing the rules its kinda hard to guess, it could have been Leroy/Ty won the challenge and winner chooses who goes against the loser. I dont know what else Zach might be pissed at frank for other than him contributing to Zach going home
It could be Zach, Frank is talking about, but also Nany and Camila didn't tweet each other, until a fan asked if there was beef between them and they cleared that up, saying they're still close.

Yeah,but i checked and those tweets were weeks ago,seemed like he got upset about some tweets of yesterday/last night ,and why would Frank care about Nany and Camila? Zach on the other hand has been tweeting to a lot castmembers,so maybe from some reason it upsets Frank,i dont know

We don't know the rules of the game yet. Maybe they knew what kind of elimination game it was going to be. Like last season there were 4 games and when 3 had been played they knew what the last game would be, maybe it was something that catered to Knight/Preston. Plus in my opinion, other than Knight/Preston, of the teams left at that point in the game, I would say Trey/Zach are the weakest.

Nothing, but I was using an example of two people who were close going into this challenge and didn't even interact at all on social media when returning back home (except to clear up that there was no problems between them).
Based on pics a couple weeks before and after the challenge it doesn't look like Wes bulked up for the challenge, but that might have helped him and CT even more. I mean Wes is the best swimmer on the show and without a body builder diet he was probably better equipped for a final.
[QUOTE=TheRealest;346369]lol at Frank's personality disorder being so bad he gets upset when others are cordial with one another.[/QUOTE]
Ya he's such a drama queen, if people want to be nice to each other and not talk to you then ****, he's the one that comes right off the challenge and goes on and on about his new friends, I'd laugh if these ppl in his "crew" talked **** about him on the show.
Hello
I am New To Vevmo but not to the challenges.
i am gonna give you guys my opinion of the pairs
Male teams:
Ct and Wes: Well they are the only rivals who make sense.
Dunbar and Tyrie: I Watched The Island and still don't get why are they paired together.
Jordan and Marlon: I like them both I am curious to see how are they gonna perform.
Leroy and Ty: Mtv you are the worst. Leroy telling Ty to shut up doesn't make them rivals...anyway I am still excited to see Leroy.
Derek and Robb: Robb is cool Derek is Derek. besides that i don't care.
Frank and Johnny: Twitter beef are you kidding me.
Knight and Preston: I didn't watch their season but at BOTS they didn't like each other and i don't mind Knight he is really entertaining.
Trey and Zach: No comment.
Female teams:
Anastasia and Jessica: They are both annoying especially Jessica.
Aneesa and Diem: I am excited to see Diem and Aneesa but i don't remember their fight.
Paula and Emily: Emily is awesome but Paula is Mehh but I got to admit after seeing Jordan carrying her at that photo i was surprised to see those Muscles I guess Emily gave her HELL.
Jonna and Nany: I Like Nany but i would of preferred Jonna and Camila.
Camila and Jemmye: I like them both. I am rooting for them! GO TEAM SUBTITLES!
Jasmine and Theresa: Oh boy say goodbye to another Mirror.
Cooke and Naomi/Cara Maria: Excited to see Cooke performing!
Sarah and Trishelle: Not a fan of both of them.
So this may be not the legit challenge i was waiting for but ill always have time for Rivals 2.
Here is a question....
Why has Tyler been dropped just before the challenge started? He was clearly unhappy about it so it obviously wasn't him backing out but rather MTV/BMP replacing him with Ty... At least I think with Ty, since Tyler would have been Leroy's partner, no?
IMO Tyler would have been a much better choice in every way, so why the sudden change of heart?

Maybe they feared Johnny/Frank and Tyler/Leroy would form a mob I mean Knight and Zach are/were friends with Frank so that's not a good look either, it would be everyone against CT/Wes. Just having Tyler and Johnny in the final again and reducing the chance that CT/Wes could make it to the final.
That's just my take.

I dont think production was rooting for CT/Wes, they put them together hoping they would be outcasts, and they probably wanted CT in a lot of eliminations. I bet at the begining of the show Johnny will be telling CT that if they wanted you to win they would have paired you with me and not Wes, cause statistically Johnny has been winining. But the way they did it kinda made everyone work together, cause if CT/Johnny were partners then I dont think anyone would feel the need to work with them, if Tyler was there then I think they would all work together, its better having the strong teams on your side. It would have been better if Tyler was there, then there could have been 4 strong teams, they could have also gave Frank Dustin and put Wes/Derrick together, but Derrick is annoying so I prefer Wes with CT. I think they dropped Tyler cause they think Ty would start more drama but Tyler a ****** bag too so idk

How couldn't they? They are promoted heavily as basically the only ones you should tune in to watch. I think production wanted them to be the outcasts but also wanting them to have a triumphant moment to please the fans. I think a team of Tyler/Leroy would be threatening and that would give Johnny more numbers and more man power to get CT/Wes out.
I originally thought Frank/Johnny had it in the bag so we'll see how this goes.

Theyre promoted like crazy cause CT is one of the biggest names, you wana promote the challenge then put pics of him every where, it doesnt necessarily mean they wanted them to win, and since they did win now they can go nuts making them look like the ****. They promoted bots using Wes even though he wasnt there that long, same with the ruins. No one wants to see pics of Johnny promoting the show. I think if they feared the whole Johnny/Tyler thing then they should have put Frank with someone else, or just not cast Johnny on this, they were really desperate to have frank/Johnny/Wes/CT on this together no matter how odd the pairing were, CT/Wes is legit but they could have replaced Johnny with someone else
