[QUOTE=LexBlair;368947]There[B]'re[/B] very few people... (sorry, I had to. :bull_head: admit it-you had it coming;)[/QUOTE] While your grammar correction is technically correct, it is super awkward and should never be used. "There are" is the appropriate correction. (Sorry about being THAT guy but you were being that guy first)
Johnny is such a low life, here's Wes trying to bury the hatchet, and just be cool with Johnny and Johnny is antagonizing him and telling him to talk ****, *** is up with Johnny, omg if he couldn't get any lower,
People on twitter are saying how they think it's sweet that Knight was defending Jemmye's honor.

[QUOTE=Camille;369177]People on twitter are saying how they think it's sweet that Knight was defending Jemmye's honor.[/QUOTE] Oh now he cares.
Can't get over how happy I am for CT! If anyone deserved a win it was this man after 10 years!
Happy for CT/Wes, and I thought it was funny when CT kept saying I love you to Wes, and Wes says nothing back...maybe CT should have professed his love to Adam too, maybe that would have made him open up more lol
So..CT FINALLY won a challenge. It's been 10 years in the making. I gotta say that even though Marlon/Jordan didn't make it. I'm glad CT finally got the win. It's been LONG overdue. And Congrats to Emily too! She's a good competitor and It's good to see someone from a Recent RW season take the win. This challenge was decent. A lot of Drama happened. Competition had it's ups and down but I'm alright with the ending. Oh and that CT Montage..Man it really made me Nostalgic for the good old days of this show. I'm glad they did that.

All and all it was a great season. I knew ahead of time who won (spoiler thread), and that's the only reason I've been tuned in the whole season. I usually peace out during the last episodes if I find out ahead of time that Johnny, Evan, or Kenny win one of these things. I'm glad CT/Wes won, and I'm grudgingly okay with Paula and Emily winning because they earned it. Also, I hate the food portions of these challenges. I have [I]never[/I] [I]ever[/I] liked the eat until you throw up parts of competition reality shows and I find it perplexing why anyone would find it interesting to watch. It makes my gag reflex act up in sympathy. I have no clue how these people were able to continue eating with another person just a few feet away vomiting. Combine that with the pervasive heat and the whole challenge must have been an overwhelming assault on the senses. Good God, I eat Asian food but even I found what they were putting down to be repulsive. Warm durian that's been sitting out for god knows how long, nasty. And I don't even want to know what kind of stuff was in that fish drink concoction. I wish I could have gotten a closer look at it to see if I could recognize the contents. Bugs, he DOUBLE HOCKEY sticks NO. And that squid jerky they were eating. I'm not sure if that's the snack type squid jerky or if it's the type that's been dried for later use. If it's the latter, then I can only imagine the difficulty they had eating it. I know that my mother (the most amazing cook ever) occasionally uses squid for her dishes and she always uses the freeze dried type similar to what was on that plate. For reference, she usually cuts that stuff up with scissors and then soaks it for maybe half an hour to an hour to get it tender enough to cook. If they're eating that straight up dried, then I give them major props. If it's just the snack type squid that they sell in stores, then those are a lot more edible. The smell isn't as strong either. I'll probably still have to get a closer look to it to know for sure though.
This was one of the better seasons of the past 5 years. Hopefully next challenge we finally get a Duel 3 or a 2 team challenge like Ruins 2 or Gauntlet 4. Maybe that will bring a little more fun and interesting storylines to the show.
This is the first time the teams I wanted to win won
I really like this season , IMO much better than BOTS.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;368722]PLEASE let Marlon/Jordan be the final team. I hope that Cooke/Cara Maria wins this. I think they deserve it more than Emily/Paula.[/QUOTE]no they didnt the right women team won.
cara and cooke did cheat at the puzzles doesnt matter how you look at it they did...i am so glad that emily/paula won they deserved more it does not matter if they never went into elimination...they won basically everything if cara wouldnt have been crying and kept looking at emily/paula while they were eating the food then they probably would have won....but coulda, shoulda, woulda but didn't....emily is my favorite i am glad she won i like paula to....and i am also glad that ct/wes won also.
i am to.
[QUOTE=timster3;368962]Seeing CT throw up all food reminded me of The Inferno when he competed in that cookie & milk elimination challenge and he said he has never thrown up in his life. Hmm.....[/QUOTE] I was just thinking about that. I guess those days are over.
[QUOTE=RatedRudy;369158]Johnny is such a low life, here's Wes trying to bury the hatchet, and just be cool with Johnny and Johnny is antagonizing him and telling him to talk ****, *** is up with Johnny, omg if he couldn't get any lower,[/QUOTE] Johnny has to be one of the most insecure people I have seen.
I wanted Rivals 2 to be better than Battle of the Seasons 2, but sadly BOTS2 tops Rivals2. The only thing I disliked about BOTS2 was not enough veterans. With Rivals 2 it's a whole list: Way too soon for a second installment, too many farfetched "rivalries", and boring daily missions and elimination rounds. However, I will say I liked this final challenge more than BOTS2. IMO Challenge twenty-four was just screaming out for Gauntlet 4. They easily could've done veterans vs. rookies because they had eight male veterans and rookies and ten female veterans and six female rookies. Just send two vet girls back and bring in two more rookie girls. Hopefully the next challenge will be Duel 3 or a team challenge. I don't want to see another pairs challenge for a while.
Well i'm very happy with the top 4, I wish it was a top 6 though So much swimming... whyy? The "first place does everything" thing is very annoying I love the first obstacles though. Puzzle, use the pythagorean theorem? Yess Wait... cooke that was cheating, wasn't it? I really hope they don't get disqualified Ew that eating challenge looks foul. I knew Paula and Emily would do good on that but I'm really upset about it. It's funny to see Johnny's sucked at every obstacle so far. It's weird how poorly Cara is doing. Congrats to CT and Emily for finally winning one! They definitely deserved them. Paula and Wes deserved their wins as well, but I don't care as much I guess. Cooke and Frank, the rookies, just got screwed by their partners...
V1man, I remember you saying this season had a bunch of twists and turns that were actually interesting for once, and you were right. This challenge was not as predictable as Exes or Rivals or Cutthroat, which made it much more enjoyable. Now off to read the spoiler thread...

Hmm.....[/QUOTE] Coral is the one who made that quote, not sure if she heard CT say that or was just saying it would be shocking if CT lost.
WOW, it's COMPLETE **** that Cara Maria and Cooke didn't get some kind of head start on Day 2. Imagine if the challenge all took place in one day? Cara Maria and Cooke would have been ahead by what? An hour? More? Paula and Emily are laughably bad at puzzles. Also, I wish that all three teams would have been allowed to compete in Day 2 of the final mission. It would have been hilarious to see Jemmeye(sp?) and Camilla arguing with each other with their thick accents all day long. I'm also pretty sure that Jordan and Marlon would have beaten Johnny and Frank. I hate Johnny with a fiery passion, and would have loved to see him come in 3rd place after all that work. I'm very happy for Wes, and especially for CT. The montage of CT in former challenges got me a little teared up. I hated Cooke in her Real World season (I have a soft spot for Heather and hated that Cooke had it out for her for no reason at all other than to be a *****) but I quite liked her during this Challenge. I love Cara Maria, and Paula is always entertaining. I don't like Emily, though. I find that she tries to portray this "Good Girl" image when she is, in fact, an elitist *** hole. This challenge, as a whole, was very entertaining. I was upset that neither Abram nor Evelyn (my two absolute favorites ever) were not present, but I still enjoyed watching. I know Evelyn is doing the college thing, but I hope the next Challenge is a Duel so that Evelyn tempted to come back.
Hope next time Johnny gets what he deserves.

Johnny was a better sport about losing than i thought but i didnt like how he said i guess it's about time CT won 1 in kind of sarcastic throw him a bone sort of way. Typical johnny there. I found it especially funny how ct who frank constantly says is an idiot, did the majority of the puzzles minus the guessing one. I dont think johnny will truly ever stop talking smack about ct on the show to other castmates due to their history and the backpack thing no matter how many other times johnny beat him, that is still the most epic embarassment and I still think it bugs Johnny.

[QUOTE=Zimuahaha;369453].. I hope the next Challenge is a Duel so that Evelyn tempted to come back.[/QUOTE] Evelyn is NOT going to leave Harvard Law School to return to MTV. Major downgrade not happening!
[QUOTE=Debut Album;369463]Hope Next time Johnny is not on at all.[/QUOTE] Well not next time, next time. But when he shows up again.
The thing that bothered me about the final was the last checkpoint. I like when they do easier stuff in the beginning and then build to the last obstacle being really difficult, which is how things were going on this one...puzzle -> harder puzzle -> eating -> physical, with a longer run each time. When I saw the instructions for the last obstacle I thought they were going to legitimately have to dig out that tunnel all the way through, but in actuality they dug out what looked like a 2x2x2 (and that's generous...it didn't look 2 feet deep) ditch and then opened a door to a fully dug out tunnel. Way too easy as the final checkpoint.
