[QUOTE=JL81790;386912]We don't know that yet. I was pretty surprised that he made it as far as he did but apparently he's seen eliminations so I'll reserve judgment. His season would've wrapped almost a year ago...he could've spent the time getting in great shape.[/QUOTE]
Even if he's in good shape he's still the weakest
[QUOTE=jojorules;386920]Yea If he won the last mission before final and was rewarded with devyn bc of some card that is bs[/QUOTE]
I agree. I think that some degree of randomization within the game is fine, but when it comes to participants in elimination rounds or partners in finals it should never be based on chance.
That's why I think Rivals 1, ideally, had the best selection format we've ever gotten. Elimination rounds were always the team that performed the worst athletically and the team that was the weakest politically since it was a voting system. It took into account the two major pieces of the game.
I'm not going to underrate Leroy and I am a big fan but unless he was top dog throughout this challenge, I can't see Laurel choosing him over somebody like Johnny Bananas or Zach to run a final with. Just based on past challenges, JB and Zach have wins and Leroy did not complete his final on Rivals. Wasn't his partners fault either, they were both equally to blame. Not saying Leroy is weak, it just doesn't make sense for Laurel to pick him over the other 2....unless he was at the top this time around [which I hope he was]
[QUOTE=TeamLandon;386926]Well I'm pretty sure Laurel and JB hate each other, so I can't see her picking him no matter what. But I can see her picking Zach for sure.[/QUOTE]
They hate each other? Is it because of the Kenny situation?

I guess that means that Zach didn't run the final, because Leroy would have probably teamed up with his castmate nany. Laurel probably had to choose between Leroy, JR, and bananas, and she doesn't like bananas so that left her between Leroy and JR and so she picked the next best thing. I mean that's the only explanation I can think of.

Thats what I'm thinking...
[QUOTE=Xojackiexo;386929]What is the Kenny situation?[/QUOTE]
Kenny and Laurel had a falling out. Kenny and Johnny are best friends. I'd assume they feel obligated to dislike each other. Additionally Johnny and Cara hate each other so I doubt he's one of Laurel's favorite for multiple reasons.

Since when did we verify Nany was in the final?
I don't think Leroy or anyone is picking Nany over Laurel anyway

What? Are they 5?
[QUOTE=JL81790;386934]You watch the show...are you really surprised?[/QUOTE]
I don't believe for a second Laurel is putting something that petty above winning
Johnny--maybe but even he's there to win

It's not up to Leroy who runs with him, it's laurel's choice, come on keep up haha
I listened to Laurel's Bus Drivers Route interview and she said she didn't hate anyone from the Challenge, Johnny included. Interesting if what's rumored actually happened. One would think that you'd only pass over Bananas if Zach was there instead of Johnny R.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;386935]I don't believe for a second Laurel is putting something that petty above winning

I wasn't suggesting that she did or would. Someone asked why Laurel doesn't like Johnny and I offered my opinion. Laurel is too smart to allow that to mess with her game, but she's said before that she's not a Bananafan.
I don't know where this theory that Laurel just got to pick who she ran with even came from. Or the theory that they had a partner in the final. Or pretty much anything that's been said in this thread.
So technically, you guys are saying that CT won the last challenge. But instead of getting a benefit from it, he got Devyn as a partner for the final? Does that even make sense.

It sounded like it was random, like they each picked a card. For all we know, Laurel could have been stuck with the worst male performer.

Well who knows, something might have happened during this challenge or she how Johnny's conditioning was last season, either that or he wanted to run with theresa

Nothing makes sense with this challenge!

Thats the suppose twist of the Joker Card!
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;386943]Thats the suppose twist of the Joker Card![/QUOTE]
If that's true! Production did CT dirty.
The winner change,every time I asked someone. But everyone keeps telling me that Zach got 3rd place and Devyn too.
So I don't know.
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;386927]They hate each other? Is it because of the Kenny situation?[/QUOTE]
Well 'hate' is a strong word. But they definitely haven't been getting along on any show they've done. And they don't seem to even respect each other outside of the show. It may have more to do with their personalities... They just don't mesh.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;386935]I don't believe for a second Laurel is putting something that petty above winning

I absolutely believe it. Laurel is one of my favorites overall, but extreme pettiness/stubbornness is definitely one of her traits.
If she dislikes Johnny by a great degree, I can see her picking anyone other than him.

True but I think this was heavily hinted at Kenny
[QUOTE=kvm1977;386904]If it was a partner whatever girl got Johnny R should be livid...they weren't given any chance[/QUOTE]
That's a bold judgement of someone who has never done a challenge
[QUOTE=TheCloser;386949]True but I think this was heavily hinted at Kenny[/QUOTE]
Eh...I don't know. Kenny hadn't done a show for two years at that point and Laurel knows he won't be back. Plus neither of the shows that Laurel did with Kenny really involved Kenny degrading the girls. He was pretty well behaved on Fresh Meat 2 and Rivals.
I also wonder, and maybe someone else can clear it up, why CT is on that list. CT has done his fair share of berating girls and has also been a ringleader in the trimming the fat business. Also, I feel like if I were a girl I'd rather some obnoxious idiot call me a retard rather than another person pretend to be nice to me but instead use me for sex and a vote.
