[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;396470]Didn't CT go into an Inferno involving cookies and such, lol? Great job with the stats, either way though.[/QUOTE]
Your memory serves you correct. That unusual elimination round was from CT's rookie season on The Challenge, The Inferno against Shane from RR: Campus Crawl. It's almost been an entire decade since then. It's amazing how much things have changed since CT's first challenge. I remember the opening intro for The Inferno actually acknowledged him as "Chris" instead of "CT".
Wow those stats are fascinating. Theresa, Jessica, and Emilee are the only ones to not win an elimination round. I never realized Theresa was 0-4 O_O that's horrible!
And Aneesa's stats shows how she's sucked slowly overtime :( at one point she was 4-0 and 7-2 and now she loses every season :(. This season I could see her winning a bunch of elimination rounds like The Duel, I can't see most of these girls taking her out in something strictly physical. I could also see Camilla catching up to Aneesa on this season, not Cara though, I could see her riding Laurel's back the entire way and facing only 1 eliminaton round or so. But we'll see! I can't wait :)

It's funny that people like Theresa, that is a solid competitor, haven't won an elimination round and Jasmine, which sucks, have won. I'm not defending Theresa (well, I'm kinda am) but she hasn't had a lot of luck. The only chance she had of making the finals was on Rivals, but she had to face Cara Maria and Laurel.

Yep each challenge has a ton of luck. People like Theresa or even Laurel haven't won a season yet, but Johanna won a challenge? Partner seasons are much harder than team challenges unless you're a female and JEK is on your team then you're screwed..
But yeah Theresa hasn't had a lot of luck. I saw potential in her & Jasmine in Rivals II actually, I almost thought they'd win that elimination round :( I wish they did.

People make it seem like Theresa is beast, when in reality she hasn't proved anything in 4 challenges maybe on the next one but who knows.

Ryan, Camila (had to face Laurel) and Jasmine as partners. Then Tina throwing a comp to Tori
Theresa isn't a beast but it isn't hard to see potential with her

At one point she and Camila were even beating Laurel/CM in their elimination round, too.

Aneesa lost last year because Diem sucked *** in the elimination round. She also lost with Robin and then as the only girl team. Hard not to comprehend was she's 1-3 since that 7-2 start if you take the time to look at it for a second.

Those are just excuses, not matter her partner she should have shine by herself at some point and she never did.
Example of this Landon with Carley one of the worse girls for a final amd they still took the w.

Everyone has said that but watching it I didn't really see Aneesa doing any better than Diem except Diem was freaking out and Aneesa wasn't. But yeah with Robin she stood no chance. And then Exes I was just disappointed since that was the first time we really got to see her compete since The Duel II. I'm a big Aneesa fan so hopefully this season she goes back to the bad ***** chick from The Duels that dominated elimination rounds and didn't take crap from anyone.
[QUOTE=toenails;396643]Lol CT's cookie inferno. The Inferno 1 had the worst elimination rounds ever.[/QUOTE]
I think The Inferno had a lot of outside the box elimination rounds becaus this was one of the rare challenges that allowed males and females to go head to head in elimination rounds. They wanted to come up with games that would ensure an even playing field no matter what genders were competing. They couldn't use a lot of the traditional strength/power games since those would heavily favor males if they ended up competing against females. It seemed like almost every elimination that season was endurance or mental, which guaranteed fairness.

Yep. That's why it was the great challenge.
[QUOTE=toenails;396643]Lol CT's cookie inferno. The Inferno 1 had the worst elimination rounds ever.[/QUOTE]
They were fun to watch. Don't Toss Your Cookies was one of my favorites.
Infernos sucked so much they were the stupidest eliminations ever its like production got high and made them. The gauntlet had good male vs female eliminations so you can't say that's why they sucked

They really did. Nothing to do with any physical fitness whatsoever.

As you can see, it used to be a much more frequent occasion for cast members to go 3, 4, or even 5 years between Challenge appearances. It's strange how Isaac and Cohutta's return on Free Agents can be likened to Alton's return on Seasons. And think about the Ruins and Duel 2: Landon, Ruthie, Mark, Ibis, Darrell, and Syrus were all welcome faces returning from a long absence? Well, their break between Challenges was shorter than Emilee's from Cutthroat to Free Agents. Crazy to think about.

Here's my list of "close calls" - people that were asked and declined, or had to back out, who replaced who, who was an alternate, etc. Please help me out by pointing out something if it's wrong or adding something if you see it's not there! Any info helps :)
Battle of the Seasons (2002) – Ruthie Alcaide and Colin Mortensen (and Amaya Brecher was contacted) were supposed to be represent Hawaii, but Colin backed out a week prior to filming. Lori Trespicio was supposed to be Mike's partner for Back to New York, but she backed out due to the uncertainty after 9/11 and was replaced by Coral Smith.
Battle of the Sexes – Cara Kahn dropped out after seeing her edit on her season.
Gauntlet – Arissa Hill, Frank Roessler, Brynn Smith, and Steven Hill were all contacted.
Inferno - Piggy Thomas was initially cast and arrived to film, but was sent home for unknown reasons, edited out of the first episode, and replaced by Christena Pyle. Tonya Cooley was an alternate.
Battle of the Sexes 2 – Jisela Delgado was replaced by Kina Dean. Patrick Maloney backed out because he didn't like his X-Treme edit, and was replaced with Shawn Sealy. Brynn Smith was dropped from the cast after the producers found out she had a child. Ellen Cho was asked, and declined.
Inferno 2 – Puck Rainey was slated to be on the Inferno 2, but demanded to be paid more than the rest of the cast; when they found out and became upset, Puck was dropped. Sarah Burke was asked but couldn’t go due to her law school schedule. Melanie Silcott was asked, but declined. Melissa Howard and Coral Smith were supposed to be on the cast, but dropped out right before departure. They were replaced with Beth Stolarczyk and Rachel Robinson.
Gauntlet 2 – Raquel Duran was cast, but backed out at the last minute to attend a close friend’s wedding. Karamo Brown, Melanie Silcott, Sarah Burke, Shavonda Billingslea, and William Hernandez were all asked. Wes Bergmann, Johanna Botta, Danny Jamieson, and Melinda Stolp were also asked, even though they had just finished filming their season 2 weeks prior. Frankie Abernathy and Irulan Wilson both declined this Challenge.
Fresh Meat – Ruthie Alcaide was called, but was not a part of the final cast. Sarah Burke was asked, but had to decline due to her law school schedule.
Duel – Evelyn Smith was supposed to be cast but backed out due to illness. Linette Gallo was asked but had to decline. Sarah Burke from Philadelphia was originally on the cast but dropped out due to a wedding. Melanie Silcott was asked, but declined.
Inferno 3 - Stephen Nichols was an alternate. Susie Meister was possibly a last minute replacement.
Gauntlet 3 – Svetlana Shusterman and Jenn Grijalva were part of the initial cast. Jenn had to drop out and apparently Svetlana left at the airport. Apparently, Janelle Casanave was one of the replacements. Stephen Nichols was an alternate. Brynn Smith was supposed to appear, but was pregnant and thus unable.
Island – Kendal Sheppard was paid to be an alternate even though she was not actually available. Aneesa Ferreira, Stephen Nichols, and Alton Williams were alternates.
Duel 2 – Dan Walsh backed out and was replaced by Ryan Kehoe.
Ruins – Devyn Simone was part of the initial cast but backed out last minute, as well as Cara Zavaleta. Susie Meister replaced Cara, and eventually met her future husband there. Alton Williams was asked but couldn’t go due to work, so he was an alternate instead. Baya Voce, JD Ordonez, Katelynn Cusanelli, Ryan Conklin, and Scott Herman were all contacted.
Fresh Meat II – Jonna Mannion was part of the initial cast, but a lost passport at the airport cost her this opportunity to win money. As seen on the show, she was replaced by Evelyn Smith. Janelle Casanave and Nick Brown were asked to be on this Challenge and declined. Ruthie Alcaide and Cohutta Grindstaff were alternates.
Cutthroat – Casey Cooper was asked and said no. Bronne Bruzgo backed out a couple days before and was replaced by Dunbar Merrill. Kenny Santucci backed out the day of and was replaced by Derrick Kosinski. Mike Manning was asked and declined. Carley Johnson was contacted and accepted for this Challenge but did not make the cast.
Rivals – Katie Doyle was supposed to be Sarah's initial Rival and had to back out a week prior to filming; she was replaced by Katelynn Cusanelli. Beth Stolarczyk got calls for this challenge, but could not do one because she was pregnant. Rumor has it that Abram Boise and Adam Larson were attempted, but Adam declined. Susie Meister, Tori Fiorenza, and Johanna Botta all declined this Challenge.
Battle of the Exes - Various couples were meant to be on this show, including Zach Nichols and Ashley Kelsey, Adam Royer (who failed the psych exam they instated as of this challenge) and Nany Gonzalez, KellyAnne Judd (who apparently backed out due to not wanting to be in close proximity to Wes) and Cohutta Grindstaff, Brad and Tori Fiorenza (despite being married), and Jemmye Carroll and Ryan Knight. Sounds like a lot of possibilities, but considering the lack of couples on the show, it's possible that some of these could have been alternates. Heather Cooke was also asked, but was told that they were "going a different direction." Coral Smith was also asked; she would have been in lieu of Cara Maria Sorbello. She said no, but would have gone if she knew Rachel and Aneesa were there. Alton Williams and Irulan Wilson were also asked, as well as Landon Lueck and Shavonda Billingslea. Danny Jamieson and Melinda Stolp were going to be a team, but Melinda had to drop out due to work. Johanna Botta, Casey Cooper (who declined out of respect to her boyfriend), Beth Stolarczyk, and Frank Roessler and Jillian Zoboroski all declined.
Battle of the Seasons – Frank Roessler and Arissa Hill were asked, with both saying yes. Leroy Garrett and Heather Cooke were also originally meant to be a part of team Las Vegas, but then producers went about with the hybrid team for two reasons: the entire Las Vegas team was planned around Trishelle and Alton, and Cooke and Dustin refused to appear on the Challenge together. Carley Johnson was also supposed to be a part of the Fresh Meat team instead of Cara Maria; Cara didn't receive her own authentic jersey until after the first mission. There was a Road Rules team consisting of Rachel Robinson, Katie Doyle, Darrell Taylor, and Derrick Kosinski; apparently Shane Landrum and Susie Meister were also asked (Shane being the alternate). Real World: San Diego also would have had their own team, consisting of Brad Fiorenza, Robin Hibbard, Cameran Eubanks, and Randy Barry, but Randy backed out. And then there is the Team Sydney situation, where the entire team of KellyAnne Judd, Ashli Robson, Dunbar Merrill, and Isaac Stout arrived but was sent home for unknown reasons before filming; they were replaced by team Fresh Meat. Brandon Swift and Laurel Stucky also were tested for this Challenge, and Laurel apparently was supposed to be on the Fresh Meat team. However she backed out, not wanting to be on the same team as Big Easy. A Denver team of Jenn Grijalva, Colie Edison, Tyrie Brown, and Davis Mallory was contacted but did not come to fruition. Nick Brown and Will Gilbert from Hollywood were on board but none of the Hollywood girls were interested. Callie Walker, Emily Schromm, Ty Ruff, and Josh Colon from DC with Mike Manning as an alternate were originally a team, but they were dropped when Callie became pregnant. Ashlee Feldman was the alternate for NOLA; Nehemiah Clark was the alternate for Austin. Emilee Fitzpatrick was the alternate for Cancun. Apparently, MJ Garrett and Landon Lueck were allegedly contacted and declined. Baya Voce at some point was contacted; when she declined, Sarah Rice was cast instead.
Rivals II - Numerous people were tested but not used, including Ashley Kelsey, LaToya Jackson, Brandon Swift, and Laura Waller. Brandon Kane received the initial call but was turned down. Averey Tressler and Nia Moore were asked, but Nia was not available. Ruthie Alcaide, Susie Meister, and Tori Fiorenza were all contacted for this Challenge.
Free Agents - Tyler Duckworth was part of the initial cast but dropped at the last second. Paula Meronek is speculated to have dropped out because of Tyler. Brad Fiorenza was originally going to appear, but declined due to the BGC-esque style the show was taking. Heather Cooke was slated to appear, but dropped out several weeks before the departure date. Joi Niemeyer and Averey Tressler were female alternates; Nehemiah Clark was a male alternate. Sam McGinn was asked and accepted, but also was not cast. Heather Marter accepted the availability call, but declined the second offer to be on this Challenge because Dustin was going to be on it. Coral Smith was asked and offered a lot of money to appear, but declined because she was not in shape. Ryan Knight was dropped after his assault on Frank Sweeney at the Rivals II reunion. Marie Roda was asked, and declined. Susie Meister received an availability call, but declined as well.

Leroy Garrett and Heather Cooke were also originally meant to be a part of team Las Vegas, but then producers went about with the hybrid team for two reasons: the entire Las Vegas team was planned around Trishelle and Alton, and Cooke and Dustin refused to appear on the Challenge together. Carley Johnson was also supposed to be a part of the Fresh Meat team instead of Cara Maria; Cara didn't receive her own authentic jersey until after the first mission. There was a Road Rules team consisting of Rachel Robinson, Katie Doyle, Darrell Taylor, and Derrick Kosinski; apparently Shane Landrum and Susie Meister were also asked (Shane being the alternate). Real World: San Diego also would have had their own team, consisting of Brad Fiorenza, Robin Hibbard, Cameran Eubanks, and Randy Barry, but Randy backed out. And then there is the Team Sydney situation, where the entire team of KellyAnne Judd, Ashli Robson, Dunbar Merrill, and Isaac Stout arrived but was sent home for unknown reasons before filming; they were replaced by team Fresh Meat. Brandon Swift and Laurel Stucky also were tested for this Challenge, and Laurel apparently was supposed to be on the Fresh Meat team. However she backed out, not wanting to be on the same team as Big Easy. A Denver team of Jenn Grijalva, Colie Edison, Tyrie Brown, and Davis Mallory was contacted but did not come to fruition. Nick Brown and Will Gilbert from Hollywood were on board but none of the Hollywood girls were interested. Callie Walker, Emily Schromm, Ty Ruff, and Josh Colon from DC with Mike Manning as an alternate were originally a team, but they were dropped when Callie became pregnant. Ashlee Feldman was the alternate for NOLA; Nehemiah Clark was the alternate for Austin. Emilee Fitzpatrick was the alternate for Cancun. Apparently, MJ Garrett and Landon Lueck were allegedly contacted and declined. Baya Voce at some point was contacted; when she declined, Sarah Rice was cast instead.
Rivals II - Numerous people were tested but not used, including [B]Ashley Kelsey, LaToya Jackson, Brandon Swift, and Laura Waller[/B]. [B]Brandon Kane[/B] received the initial call but was turned down. Averey Tressler and Nia Moore were asked, but Nia was not available. [B]Ruthie Alcaide, Susie Meister, and Tori Fiorenza[/B] were all contacted for this Challenge.
Free Agents - Tyler Duckworth was part of the initial cast but dropped at the last second. Paula Meronek is speculated to have dropped out because of Tyler. Brad Fiorenza was originally going to appear, but declined due to the [B]BGC-esque style the show[/B] was taking. Heather Cooke was slated to appear, but dropped out several weeks before the departure date. Joi Niemeyer and Averey Tressler were female alternates; Nehemiah Clark was a male alternate. Sam McGinn was asked and accepted, but also was not cast. Heather Marter accepted the availability call, but declined the second offer to be on this Challenge because Dustin was going to be on it. Coral Smith was asked and offered a lot of money to appear, but declined because she was not in shape. Ryan Knight was dropped after his assault on Frank Sweeney at the Rivals II reunion. Marie Roda was asked, and declined. Susie Meister received an availability call, but declined as well.[/QUOTE]
I heard that Danny Jamieson was replaced by Derrick Kosinski, not Kenny.
Also on Rivals II, who would Ashley have been partners with? Same with LaToya, Swift, Laura, Brandon Kane, Ruthie, Susie, and Tori?
What is BGC-esque style?

Are you sure? The Kenny-Derrick thing was straight from Molds.
I think Rivals 2 was supposed to be another theme (Duel 3?), but was switched to Rivals 2 relatively late in production when they couldn't get their ideal cast together. That could just be speculation, though. Either way, they will often ask/test many people in case something falls through. FYI, Ruthie said her rival would've been Aneesa, but they went with Diem.
BGC-esque style, referring to how production let Nia fight with Johnny and Averey with little interference. When Nia was cast, Brad didn't want to be on it

Battle of the Exes - Various couples were meant to be on this show, including Zach Nichols and Ashley Kelsey, Adam Royer (who failed the psych exam they instated as of this challenge) and Nany Gonzalez, KellyAnne Judd (who apparently backed out due to not wanting to be in close proximity to Wes) and Cohutta Grindstaff, Brad and Tori Fiorenza (despite being married), and Jemmye Carroll and Ryan Knight. Sounds like a lot of possibilities, but considering the lack of couples on the show, it's possible that some of these could have been alternates. Heather Cooke was also asked, but was told that they were "going a different direction." Coral Smith was also asked; she would have been in lieu of Cara Maria Sorbello. She said no, but would have gone if she knew Rachel and Aneesa were there. Alton Williams and Irulan Wilson were also asked, as well as Landon Lueck and Shavonda Billingslea. Danny Jamieson and Melinda Stolp were going to be a team, but Melinda had to drop out due to work.

That's interesting that Linette was asked back for another challenge. From the first generation of Fresh Meat, Linette, Aviv, and Johnnie were the ones I really wanted to see comeback.

It sucks that she had to decline :( I don't remember what the reason was, but from my understanding, she was never called back after she declined the Duel.

Zach and Ashley were not even considerate to do Exes, I remember Zach complaining about how they cast nate and Priscilla instead of them.
Zach and Ashley were never on the radar for exes.
Ayiiia and Joey From Cancun were contacted it for Exes, but Joey decline.
laura/Latoya were an alternative team and the same goes to Ayiiia/cara MAria for Rivals 2.
