It's funny how there haven't been any great girl eliminations. The consensus pick for best girl elimination is Susie vs Kim and although that was a great fight neither of those 2 girls are really the greatest competitors. The 2 best girls to ever go against each other was probably Ev vs Kelly Anne, but Ev threw it. We've never seen two top 5 girls going at it (maybe Aneesa vs Tori, but I don't think Aneesa was ever top 5 even though she is a beast in eliminations).
[QUOTE=JL81790;326838]Favorites - any elimination round where Wes has been embarrassed, all of Derrick's have been awesome, and T-Bone
Even though CJ/Zach was a real headbanger and under ordinary circumstances I'd like that whole thing, I thought it was bull****. The fact that CJ beat him 3/5 times and lost is ridiculous to me.
I'm not a big believer in production conspiracy theories and I usually roll my eyes when I hear that but to me it seems like you have this guy who was touted as being the next big thing on the challenges and to have him lose so early would've really been a flop. The guy, even according to CJ, is bigger, faster, and stronger...you give him enough chances and he'll figure it out. On Exes the tie breaker was one round, in the fish thing earlier it was one round, this should've been one round too and I'm not even one of those anti-Zach people.
It made me sick to listen to Derrick, who is one of my favorite guys on the show, kiss the kid's butt on his podcast and basically tell CJ that he really had no shot when he WON THREE OUT OF FIVE.
And this is way more than I intended to write.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this whole post. And I have slowly lost more and more respect for Derrick since he started this whole podcast thing...he's really showed his true colors. On one podcast he'll kiss a person's a** and then on the next podcast he'll completely bash that same exact person..he's done this to several cast members. And Derrick always has to be in with the "cool kids/crowd"...it's kinda pathetic in all honesty. And even ignoring what I just said..Derrick's podcasts have gotten worse and worse as well. I mean, he still has some good/great ones here and there but most of them just flat out suck nowadays. I'll always be a fan of Derrick the competitor and I hope that he's on the next Challenge whenever it may be but am I a fan of the podcast Derrick ? No.

14. Dunbar vs. Johnny (The Ruins)
15. Derrick vs. Tyler (Cutthroat)
I really enjoyed the Derrick vs. Johnny vs. Abram face off on the Island and the Island face off that was Derrick and Ashley vs. a bunch of people pretty much and they were pushing and beating on some big giant ball..I can't remember the name of that face off though. And something else that I had forgotten and just now remembered was that Derrick and Tyler have had two elimination rounds vs. one another and they split 1-1..I obviously remember Tyler beating Derrick on Cutthroat but I had forgot that Derrick beat Tyler on The Duel. Pretty much ALL of Derrick's elimination rounds have been awesome to watch. And I also agree with the person that said any elimination round that Wes has lost... they should always be on people's lists...LOL

You know I wouldn't be suprised if it was rigged. They couldn't really afford to lose Zach at that point so CJ had to be axed somehow and I bet that's why they did that tie breaker the way they did. I mean CJ beat him THREE DAMN TIMES! He should've won that.

This is why a Duel 3 with top females would fix that.
Derrick VS Wes hands down. I re-watch it sometimes still.
Derrick's elimination rounds on the Gauntlet 2 were awesome too. He has so much heart, I love Derrick.

Susie's a pretty strong competitor and Kimberly was much better than she seems to get credit for being.
The top 5 (in some order Ev, Laurel, Emily, Rachel & Jodi) haven't ever faced each other which is exactly why Duel III should be the best of the best.

And they probably never will..... Evelyn and Jodi made it clear that they won´t be back...
Plus I am sorry, but who say that Jodi and Rachel are that good nowadays.... Sure they used to be super amazing but like 5-6 years back... thats a VERY long time....(*take Alton for example..).
Sure, Rachel was back on Exes but I don´t really remember her having a strong showing at all....

When did Ev say that?
Rachel was tied to Aneesa who isn't too good at missions on Exes. She also seemed extremely out of shape (Aneesa).

Rachel was partnered with another girl. That just wasn't fair
And I meant the best 5 ever--not necessarily currently
Though if their was another Duel and they only included the best competitors I think most would expect one of Laurel, Evelyn, Emily or Rachel to win--JMO
I just thought of one well 2 actually:
The Inferno-Where Kendall was getting cussed out by Mike
The Gautnlet-Sarah vs. Irulan and the ensuing fight with production.
[QUOTE=LexBlair;326894]And they probably never will.....Jodi made it clear that they won´t be back... [/QUOTE]
When did she say this?
I found the elimination between Tori and Aneesa on the Duel II's the elevator to be very entertaining. Mostly because we didn't get to see the girls play any other game other then back off and push over (the pole climb one). That elimination showed to be a tough one for men, just to see two girls go all out was amazing.
Brad vs abram inferno 2
Susie vs kimberly in ruins
Landon and carley vs ev and luke in fresh meat 2
Ct and adam vs johnny and tyler in rivals
The 2nd last chance in the jungle of rivals 2
Johnny vs ct in cutthroat

I agree with you on this. It was a very closely contested matchup. Very suspenseful. Editing was "spot on" on that one. They alluded to both the girls winning it, so you never really knew for sure until that horn sounded.
I loved watching Johnny get his *** kicked by CT on cutthroat
Also Diem VS Jenn was great BC its Diem's only win and it showed she was stronger then people thought
I love that every season has at least one awesome elimination round like this season Leroy/Ty vs Marlon/Jordan in the Last Chance Jungle that was an awesome elimination round it had everything a challenge fan could ask for. I would go as far by saying that elimination round was one of the best in Challenge history even though I typically dislike partner elimination rounds I prefer 1 on 1 match ups because then you don't see 1 person hold the other person down and either carry them to victory or be the reason they lost. But in the Leroy/Ty vs Marlon/Jordan that wasn't the case all 4 men did they're job and Marlon & Jordan earned that victory.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;365119]I found the early eliminations lame especially ones on the inferno and[B] inferno 2[/B][/QUOTE]
Umm Brad vs Abram was anything but lame that was the very 1st epic physical elimination round.
My favorite is by far the CT/Adam vs Johnny/Tyler in the T-Bone elimination on Rivals, that **** was so epic in so many proportions, I remember just being at the edge of my seat literally wondering who was going to win cuz I didn’t know any spoilers so it just made it that much better, and then add on the epic music they had the final seconds with Adam and Tyler struggling up to get the last ball in. It had all the elements of a great great elimination. It was so nerve wrecking and suspenseful, it was crazy!. I'll never forget it.
I think CJ vs Zach on Battle of the Seasons will forever be the best elimination round. Even though I already knew the spoilers, I seriously thought it was a mistake from the Vevmo crew when CJ went up 3-0. As far as Challenge elimination rounds go I think Gauntlet 2 and CutThroat had the best elimination rounds. Gauntlet 2 had ****** ones like Beach Brawl, Name That Coconut, Sticky Situation, and Reverse Tug-O-War & CutThroat had Back Up Off Me, Handcuffs, and Pole Me Over.
BTW Gauntlet 2 had another elimination round called Knock Off, but viewers never saw it. Anyone know how that elimination round would've gone down?

[B]WORD![/B]
EVERY single of them was awesome(I also loved the way it was decided which elimination round is gonna be played, the pirate theme was also neatly done)
The whole season is probably one of my favorites, the cast, the theme, the daily missions, the elimination rounds were AWESOME.... argh wouldn't it be for that stupid final it were perfect...
[QUOTE=kvm1977;365138]Yeah the final killed The Gauntlet 2
Derrick's elimination rounds were really the only memorable ones though and I don't think any were "epic"[/QUOTE]
there were a lot of really good ones... but I meant that the actual elim rounds(the "games" themselves) were great...
