The Challenge: Free Agents - Speculation (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=TeamLandon;379688]Thanks for the correction, don't know what I was thinking... It's a very possible scenario.[/QUOTE] I agree. I've been wondering about it for awhile since Erics name disappeared and Preston and Isaacs names were out out there and both still MIA on social media.

I was re watching gauntlet 2 today and that season easily had the best eliminations, so hopefully this is another gauntlet and they rehash those eliminations. Also, Alton was a freak. I don't think anyone could have beaten him especially when it came to climbing. He probably could beat a squirrel.

So production is trying to throw us off on spoilers this season? Smart move on their part.

[QUOTE=gamer73;379694]So production is trying to throw us off on spoilers this season? Smart move on their part.[/QUOTE] I honestly don't know why they didn't do it sooner.

Not sure, but ChallengeMTV just followed me on Twitter. Maybe this is a time for me to make some serious suggestions for future improvements to the show

[QUOTE=WesDuel;379695]I've been dying to watch Gauntlet 2 seeing as how I was about 12 when it came out, can't find it on YouTube, care to shoot me a link?[/QUOTE] I messaged you. Not sure the policy on posting that stuff on here.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;379589]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.[/QUOTE] I stand corrected.

I know there's still speculation about the men's side and unless he threw the first challenge again and was sent home , Dunbar was/is not on this challenge. He was @ a Halloween party over the weekend!

They really need to add an incentive for going into the elimination round like they did with the bank accounts. I miss the old school challengers who would volunteer to go in. I remember the Miz and Landon fighting to go in for their team, when now you have Johnny Bananas crying to stay out.

I don't think anybody should bypass eliminations to the final. This would work best for cutthroat.

Maybe like rotating captains? The captain of the losing team goes in and the captain of the winning team picks their opponent. If you win an elimination you're safe for the final?

What about the top guy in a challenge gets a bye the next challenge, the bottom 2 go in an elimination round. that would take the politic game out tho

[QUOTE=JustinS76;379706]Maybe like rotating captains? The captain of the losing team goes in and the captain of the winning team picks their opponent.

Each team picks a male and female captain, winning teams captains are safe losing teams captains battle each other, everybody has to be a captain once before someone is a captain twice.

i don't think the political aspect should be removed but they definitely need to find a more balanced method IMO

[QUOTE=OutofMyCage;379707]What about the top guy in a challenge gets a bye the next challenge, the bottom 2 go in an elimination round. that would take the politic game out tho[/QUOTE] I'm fine with politics going out the window.

Part of a challenge is avoiding an elimination round...back in the day most people in the final didn't see an elimination. ****, in the Infernos there were only 4 M/F days which guaranteed at least 4 people in the final didn't see an elimination round. I think people make too big of a deal about everyone should go in. I have no problem with the bottom performers going in but just because you win one elimination round you shouldn't get a pass until everyone else goes in--that's nonsensical. It would be like Jillian beating Angel or Brooke in G2 then getting a free pass. Cutthroat worked well the way it was--let's not pretend the weakest weren't sent in to protect the strong. Cara should have seen another elimination but other than that it worked how it should.

Please, go rewatch older seasons then. They should all have to earn their way to the final by beating their opponents, not by smooth talking and mob voting.

Back in the day even one of the most selfish players (CT)volunteered to go into a challenge to save a friend. What is the fun in watching Johnny, Evan, and Kenny cry their way to the final? the politics is way to influential in the game now, it makes the product as a whole less enjoyable.

To suggest everyone must go into an elimination round doesn't even make sense. Just draw up a bracket and have everyone go h2h until you have 1 person left. See March Madness

Kenny avoided them for the most part but Evan (Ruins) and Johnny (Rivals 2) rarely did

I'd be curious to know how many eliminations Johnny has had since rivals, 2? Evan is a bad example because he's done enough eliminations and went up against CT twice. He's just extremely whiny and arrogant. Not to mention what else he is.

Cutthroat was him and derrick left and they were alternating. Rivals and Exes he was the last elimination because they lost the last challenge Gauntlet 3 was when CT convinced everyone Evan wanted Johnny when he never said that Duel was Tyler calling him out. I don't even remember him vs Dunbar. My point is the politics are to overpowered where since Cutthroat Johnny has been able to skate by until there were literally no options left. I personally would enjoy the show more if politics were toned down and there was a better balance to the show.

CT & Adam did 3. Evan did want Johnny 4. Even if Tyler didn't call him out he would have gone in next 5. Ruins--Rag Doll If there's no politics it is simply an athletic competition and we better get rid of all the non-athletes. I'm fine with that but then people like Devyn better not ever be on the show. It has to be top-tier people only

I never understood why Evan was afraid of Easy in an elimination but he challenged CT twice. IDK about everyone else but I would much rather face Easy than CT and probably any elimination

[QUOTE=JustinS76;379723]I never understood why Evan was afraid of Easy in an elimination but he challenged CT twice.

He had to take out CT during a duel or a final. Clearly he was afraid of him in a final.
