[QUOTE=kvm1977;379583]Again, the men's side wasn't good. Chet was arguably the second best of anyone who cared. That's not good.
Watch Chet beat Dustin...watch it happen. Dustin is probably the most overrated competitor on this board.
Dustin goes home first--doubt it was a fluke. He has no one on his side and is, at best, average..at best[/QUOTE]
No, the most overrated would be Leroy. Still don't get how you find it so confusing that people are shocked that a good competitor went home this early. It has happened before, but it's still not something people usually expect.

Completely disagree.
I repeat, I said "at best average"...Dustin going home early when you consider his position politically was not the least bit surprising. People just like him so they act surprised he left. For example, I like Jonna and I think she's proven far more than Dustin but if she had gone home first I wouldn't have been surprised given she's not going to be great in one on one eliminations and that she's not tight with her team. Dustin leaving early is about as shocking as Wes being targeted by JEK
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;379563]Wes, Brandon, CJ, Frank, Zach, [B]Alton[/B], Dustin, Chet, and even Derek and JD weren't slouches...[/QUOTE]
Oh please Alton was a huge disappointment he was no where close to the competitor he used to be.

And Wes went just for the check
[QUOTE=Meelz;379569]I'm almost sure they'll be back before Thanksgiving. I don't have any "insider" information but given that Challenges take 5-6 weeks to film, it seems logical. Also why would they spend time away from their families on Thanksgiving?[/QUOTE]
Mhmmm Duel 2 and Battle of The Exes filmed through Thanksgiving until the first week of December...
They left the week of October 16
October 16-23 - 1st week
October 23-30 - 2nd week
October 30-November 6 - 3rd week
November 6- 13 - 4th week
November 13- 20 5th week
November 20 -27 6th week
What I wrote was that the LATEST they would be out of the country would Monday December 1st (at least what she or he told me). Meaning filming would be over before then, on the old challenges it used to take them less than 6 weeks. Plus Emilee sister did wrote before departure that her sister was hopefully leaving until December 1st.

I keep seeing people say this, but how was he a disappointment? I mean it's not like any of the missions on BOTS2 were actually 1 on 1 comps. Sure he didn't wow anybody, but he didn't hold his team back. I hope you're not refereeing the elimination round with Robb/Marie, because anyone could clearly see that having height was a huge advantage in which Robb/Marie benefited from. If you're referring to that one obstacle course like mission where he had to push teammate on a chariot like thing to the finish line, that's fine, but he still came third. That's not a disappointment.
Not to get off topic.
Can someone please explain what did Leroy do that you all consider him one of the best?he did nothing special in my opinion.He is nothing better than plenty of guys

His elimination round against Wes is pretty much more than any other newbie has done to this point.
Dustin proved more to me plus Leroy quit the final not mike!!it was said on an interview mike did it for him.leroy couldn't handle a final.hes ot muscle but he is not that good

Agree. It's funny to me how people say that Leroy finally gets to show what he's made of this season. He showed us what he's made of on Rivals 2... not much.

Dustin's done nothing...and, no, Mike quit

Dustin's at home..let's see how far Leroy gets. Further than Dustin obviously. Dustin isn't good--people just like him.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;379601]Dustin's done nothing...and, no, Mike quit[/QUOTE]
Multiple people who were at the final, including Leroy himself said he quit before Mike did...
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;379604]Multiple people who were at the final, including Leroy himself said he quit before Mike did...[/QUOTE]
You're altering the story...the story was the Leroy wanted to quit but Mike talked him threw it then Mike quit...that was the story that was always told.
At the end of the day this doesn't alter how little Dustin has done. Leroy has been more impressive than Dustin even if all we have is Leroy beating Wes. Dustin's at home--that proves my point. Dustin isn't good--just liked by the fans.
[QUOTE=Rossi;379592]Can someone please explain what did Leroy do that you all consider him one of the best?he did nothing special in my opinion.He is nothing better than plenty of guys[/QUOTE] Let's see Leroy made it to the final his very first time and I actually thought he would be the first to go on rivals but surprised he made it to the final quietly. Destroyed Wes on BOTS after he heard Wes was bragging about how good he was in eliminations and I mean come on you have to give Leroy his props for stepping up facing Wes. Dustin nor Frank would've never had stepped up to Wes like that plus he had weak pairs well Ty was a better partner than Mike & Naomi but still Leroy has everything to win a final he looks like a dude that will destroy a duel or a team challenge. Dustin hasn't really been in 1on1 situations neither Frank. Maybe that's why they're eliminated this early LOL.

Exes and Seasons he had consistent strong performances. Kept up with Zach in the oil wrestling mission and kept his team from having to fight for last place, killed the Sling Shot mission, and did great in his elimiantion against Robb/Marie. This is his first non-pairs elimination challenge. Who's to say it wasn't a fluke or he had to face CT, Johnny, or Leroy (in something physical)? Fact still remains that Leroy's shining moment was beating Wes in soemthing that would have been embarrassing for him to lose in. Let's not forget his and Ty's awful performance in Blind Leading The Blind. Or the Rivals 2 elimination rounds.
I'm ****** Jemmye/Dustin/Frank are gone. I love Jemmye and Dustin and Frank is good tv IMO he brings drama. But atleast cohutta is still there. He's adorable. Team Cohutta

I hope it was Leroy so we have proof Leroy is better. Blind leading the blind has absolutely no meaning--how anyone could even use that mission is laughable. I'm not sure what you think he did that was so bad during the elimination rounds.
Dustin is physical nor he is intelligent. He's a decent athlete at best.

It was something physical it doesn't change much. Love that you aren't even counting that mission, Leroy failed to hold Jordan down and he screwed up for them in the original elimination against Zach/Trey. He has even admitted it.
He's a good competitor and I've already listed examples showing how/why.
