[QUOTE=Debut Album;367067]1. There's actually a difference there. The rookies that were on that challenge actually appeared on The Real World. The only reason you don't know them is because you don't watch RW. The Fresh Meat on the other hand don't have a proper season Therefore are not real Cast members and THAT'S the reason I hate them(well one of the reasons..Most of them are awful and/or Boring and don't add a damn thing to this show.)[/QUOTE] Again, to me there is no difference. Never said you had to agree
No need to argue..... But look at the bright side... Finale awaits us
[QUOTE=kvm1977;367080]Again, to me there is no difference. Never said you had to agree[/QUOTE] I was never under the impression that I had to agree. But whatever you think what you think and I think what I think. [QUOTE=boncat23;367091]No need to argue..... But look at the bright side... Finale awaits us[/QUOTE] Nobody was arguing. And about the Finale...I hope that they don't do that overnight Nonsense again. That is ridiculous and unnecessary to me just have the Final challenge be one day and let it be that.
[QUOTE=Imjustsayin;366963]So is the finale broken into two episodes or is it just extended? Its kind of weird that The ***** They should have shown comes on after the episode that airs next week. Or maybe that's how it has been lately but I wouldn't know because I didn't watch the last season...[/QUOTE] they showed "the **** they should have shown" on episode 11 for portland as well

Yeah a day 2 to me just gives the loser of the 1st day a chance to regroup and possibly win a final they had no business winning.
[QUOTE=WesandCT;367180]Yeah a day 2 to me just gives the loser of the 1st day a chance to regroup and possibly win a final they had no business winning.[/QUOTE] Unless they changed their rules and gave the first place team a head start by how much time they beat the second place team and so on. No more crap like Rivals 1.
It's a tv show, they don't care about "fairness." As long as it's entertaining and not blown out of proportion everything is fair game.
[QUOTE=TheCloser;367193]It's a tv show, they don't care about "fairness." As long as it's entertaining and not blown out of proportion everything is fair game.[/QUOTE] It's really isn't about fairness. It's more about cutting out all the unnecessary crap and have the final make sense. I don't want to see them go through an entire day running/jogging doing obstacles in between all for a damn 2-minute head start. I don't want to see them standing on a freaking rock overnight and I sure as hell don't want to see any sled dogs or mountains. Just have a one day Final challenge that isn't taken from some army training course. That's all that's needed IMO.
You're right, they don't need to show that... but they can easily show the times of teams reaching the checkpoints and ***** that on the next day. It's pretty simple
[QUOTE=TheCloser;367206]You're right, they don't need to show that... but they can easily show the times of teams reaching the checkpoints and ***** that on the next day. It's pretty simple[/QUOTE] True. But I still think they should just stop trying to be clever and just keep it simple regarding final challenges.
So, is my Directv schedule correct? Are they airing the "Shi* they should have shown" after the final episode and then having the Reunion next week? This seems to be an odd arrangement. Isn't it usually Reunion right after and if they have a special such as "Shoulda Shown" they air it the next week?

At least we get a S*** Show this year. Last year was a huge letdown without one
[QUOTE=hafnerfan69;367219]At least we get a S*** Show this year. Last year was a huge letdown without one[/QUOTE] Last year would have been better to have a "The **** They Shouldn't Have Shown" and just aired a marathon of the whole season
I'd prefer that they scrap the S*** show and give us back the dailies instead. I really miss those things. Was there ever any official reason given for BMP doing away with them? I doubt if it's money since they've spent gobs of money on unnecessary travel expenses (moving 3 times on Rivals... why?!)
I looked more forward to the dailies than the show. Those were the best and you got to really understand things since editing leaves so much out.
Oh wow, now I'm really confused. There are 2 more hour long episodes? They must really stretch that Final out or something. What is left? 20 min tops wrapping up that final girls elimination, then the Final. Unless there really something we don't see coming like a 3rd place elim. round and only 2 teams from each gender go to the true final? I'm kinda fine with it because I just love this show so more is okay. Just surprised that they that much. Often the Final has only taken 1/2 an episode. Now it's potentially 1 1/2 episodes.

I think they will have the elimination than the new location getting there cast reactions etc... Maybe a night of trash talk than the beginning of the final like exes did
The Dailies had so much uncensored stuff.

Perhaps the traveling will be shown/ them going out + some drama... who knows :confused:

Excited for the new episode.:disturbed:

Do the elimination round first, then filler /preparation stuff in the middle, and the beginning of the final challenge at the end.

I mean it shouldn't cost money to do that, all they gotta do is go to their little room where they keep all the footage and upload them onto the website.
[QUOTE=theman23;367277]another twist maybe??[/QUOTE] I saw a commercial yesterday that shows the cast on a bus and then they're blindfolded and taken off the bus. So I guess the twist is the new location and the cast not being allowed to see exactly where they're going... maybe thrown into an active volcano?!:glee:
