The Challenge: Rivals II - Anastasia & Jessica

And why do you think he got the most camera time because BMP thought he would bring in the most viewers ... just like CT on this season.

[QUOTE=Fullback12;354557]And why do you think he got the most camera time because BMP thought he would bring in the most viewers ... just like CT on this season.[/QUOTE] And he didn't.

Well that's what BMP/MTV thought.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;354517]Well, they were there for a couple of hours and if you are anemic you need to eat on a regular basis. Plus, it probably did not help that she smoked a cigarette while they waited to get everything going.[/QUOTE] If she was hungry, she would've eaten. the problem was they didnt give her that opportunity in between the challenge and the elimination. [QUOTE=Fullback12;354528]If you think Frank is bad TV. Then, you have a thing or two to learn about TV's and viewers. Frank brings drama and BS. Drama and BS brings Viewers.[/QUOTE] I view the show on my TV and as a "viewer" I can say that I am not entertained by his BS. I could watch Jerry Springer for that contrived **** and the production costs would be a lot cheaper. Everyone wins. [QUOTE=Fullback12;354529]We're not talking about the "impression" of her as an competitor we're talking about she's boring TV.[/QUOTE] "Impression" is subjective. if you said "she did not show personality" then I could see the point youre trying to make but I remember Jessica from the two episodes shes been in because she tried her hardest to compete despite the stacked odds and preconceived notions about her. Im pretty **** proud of her actually because thats one of the few times i felt she was being sincere. I dont expect her to walk into a pool or hook up and cause bs drama for the sake of it. thats precisely why this show sucks. The expectation of production and viewers is "you need to start pointless fights to even be considered as a potential returning cast member". That mentality blows, imo. [QUOTE=Fresh Meat;354540]Must be why ratings were through the roof last season, when he was the center of all the drama. I can't tell you how many people have said Frank made them not watch the season (Battle of the Seasons).[/QUOTE] Thank you. [QUOTE=Fullback12;354561]Well that's what BMP/MTV thought.[/QUOTE] They think a lot of things like its a rape victims fault for being raped and that plugging your ears and going "lalalala" while one of your contracted castmembers attempts to bludgeon someone with a weapon is A-okay. I dont give their "thoughts" a lot of credibility.

[QUOTE=Fluttershy;354575]If she was hungry, she would've eaten. the problem was they didnt give her that opportunity in between the challenge and the elimination. [/QUOTE] Actually, Challenges are one day and the Elimination is a day later. She had 24 hrs where she could have eaten. But they sent to do the Elimination at the night, sometimes very late and then are made to wait until it is dark enough per BMP's standards, before doing the Elimination (and yes, this info comes from Frank's interview). Ana had enough time to try and relax by smoking a cigarette but there was no food there. (This puts Cooke's need to **** in better perspective too.)

I think the more dire discussion isn't about Ana's competitive spirit but the horrendous conditions she and the entire cast are intentionally being put through by production. Whats more sickening than Ana's sickness is productions willingness to exploit her health condition for less than a minute of footage which only served to put her through the ringer by less-informed viewers.

The fact that they exploited her illness was made worse by TJ's comment and he should known better. Props to Jordan for jumping down to get her to the hospital. If I recall, Frank mentioned that at least one person was not at the Elimination because they were in the hospital over the food.

[QUOTE=V1man;354646]This is simply another in the long string of anecdotal reporting which suggests that the on-site Executive Producer is far more given to cast exploitation than to ensuring their welfare.[/QUOTE] More and more it makes believe they are just trying to run out their contract and cash in while they can at the cast's expense.

[QUOTE=RatedRudy;354459]i hope to god anatasia doesn't come back, girl is so **** annoying, and then she made a scene after elimination, yeah i understand you were fainting and all but no reason to be screaming like a maniac like if that was going to help ur case -_-. to quote ct" girl is looney tunes, go home rookie" and don't come back, i don't mind seeing jessica again though, she seemed like a decent sport and isn't a attention seeker so yeah[/QUOTE] CT calling someone looney toones is just funny itself, because I would consider CT the biggest nutcase and delusional person to be on the show (yes I do remember Tonya, and no I don't count Kenny or Evan)

I consider myself a fan of CT on the show, but at the same time, I kind of have to agree with you Lola on CT, haha. But, he does make for good television, that's for sure.

[B]If I recall, Frank mentioned that at least one person was not at the Elimination because they were in the hospital over the food.[/B][/QUOTE] That is just Ridiculous and unacceptable. The more I read about Production the more I am disguted and repulsed by them. I'm now seeing why some of the cast members are walking away from these things.

Yeah and no A/C in the bedrooms.

Wow you all really hated Nia during her season lol. So much so that it made you delusional.. None of those girls would punk Nia on The Challenge. Be real. She's never backed down yet and she's a strong girl. The strong girls on the show aren't even confrontational (Emily, Ev). Who would possibly shut her up? Katie would lowkey run the house when she did challenges, if she was able to intimidate people.. what makes you think Nia can't? Anyways, I'm still not over Av and Nia not being chosen. They wouldn't have bested Paula and Em, but I see them being the 2nd place team.

Does anybody else feel like Jess' hair does not go with her? I feel like she should have a different color, black makes her look like Wednesday Addams twin. Lola has too much time and put her pic on the makeover wheel [ATTACH]3324[/ATTACH] I like the bottom right. She'd be so pretty with that color and style.

I think she looks just fine, lol.

What she needs to fix is that tan

Bird was such a 1 hit wonder </3 

Why don't i remember this team

Why don't i remember this team

Queen bird was the star of Rivals 2

I still feel bad for her and all the **** she got for being into CT.  Yet CT got nothing while fans of the show (casuals) ripped her apart and sent her horrible messages. I loved all of the Portland girls so much...I'm sad none still appear. 

Queen Bird, loved her

Ana was such an icon we don't get her type of rookies anymore

Anastasia queen needs to come back to an All Stars and compete with Katie to see who can smoke a pack of cigarettes fastest as their elimination round

Bird walked so Jenn Lee could run

Poor girl, she about to get paid 

I hope she's okay, I'm so sad this is happening to her. I really loved her podcast with Mike and she's really gotten up from where she was. Sending her positive energy and vibes. You got this, girl.
