The Challenge: Free Agents - Ratings

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;406547]Awhhhhhh :sorrow: Long live the loyal fans.... or kvm :encouragement:[/QUOTE] No crying. I'll just stop watching. Not the end of the world.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;406550]No crying. I'll just stop watching. Not the end of the world.[/QUOTE] I was just being sarcastic. I could care less. I may stop watching Free Agents if this next episode sucks. Cause I'm over it.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;406549]Not necessarily by then season 30 would be a wrapped. Then fans will complaint about those cast me members not being on the cast since they would be more fresh than explosion ones. I don't see not having certain rookies affect ratings, since they are not establish on the show.Maybe not having certain regulars will affect ratings. For example dropping Jay/Jenna wouldn't have the same effect as not having CT/Bananas/zach/ Cara Maria(She needs a break)/etc. By then Explosion wouldn't be as fresh as season 30 cast members.[/QUOTE] Which is why Season 26 needs to air first.... so that won't happen again.

[QUOTE=JayTee;406548]I agree. I'd rather have 6 explosion kids (3 guys 3 girls) than Chet, Brandon, Preston, Jemmye, Jasmine and Aneesa on another challenge. As long as we get Cory and Thomas on the next challenge I don't care who the rest of the Explosion kids are, they're all equal imo.[/QUOTE] Chet- lame and I doubt he come back now Brandon- BORING! Preston- hes the worst like Tyler said Jemmye- I love lol Jasmine- don't even get me started! Aneesa- is just not doing it anymore. She needs a break or to retire Cara Maria- her whining and lack of confidence on twitter and the challenge is driving me crazy!

[QUOTE=PinkRose;406555]That's not happening, especially with Real World pulling better ratings lol They always alternate timeslot and season 30 of Real World/Challenge 26 is not going to be the exception.[/QUOTE] Ugh it should or maybe there is a bigger picture to why they switched to Thursday night we just don't know about it. I think it would be cool if RW and TC aired at the same time like back in the day but I know they won't do that. I think it would help though.

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;406551]I was just being sarcastic. I could care less. I may stop watching Free Agents if this next episode sucks. Cause I'm over it.[/QUOTE] I don't understand how some of you people, Challenge fans, are just going to give up on this season when production tried giving us a new interesting theme. I didn't like The Island or BOTS2 and yet I saw every episode of those 2 seasons because there's always certain moments in every season that remind you why Challenges are entertaining as **** to watch. Yeah The Island, Ruins, Freshmeat 2, BOTS 2 and these first 3 episodes of FA weren't super good but they were a lot more entertaining and interesting than freaking Survivor or anything else they have showing on TV. I'll always support this show, a couple rotten apples won't ruin it for me and who knows maybe BMP will give us a treat next season and come up with a stellar cast and decent theme.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;406558][B]There is not a bigger picture,[/B] if not they would have aired Explosion and Free Agents at the same time especially since nobody from that season was introduce on this challenge. That would kill ratings and get viewers tired of the franchise. That's why shows tend to alternate places with spinoffs (16 & pregnant/Teen Mom, Bad Girls club with Love games/All star battle, etc) they never really air at the same time no more. Like I say they should have waited 2 weeks to film Free agents. Have 4 explosion cast members replaced 4 of those cast members on that list used the hype they still have right after their season that hype doesn't last forever. That was a mistake on production part. New Orleans 2 had better ratings than explosion. In opinion they should have waited 2 weeks for departure for cutthroat to introduce some of them on the challenge used the hype they get right after their season (like they did with Vegas 2/Rivals) instead of making the fans waited until seasons that they didn't get the same amount of hype. Fans moved on.[/QUOTE] You never know. They could have a plan for the future we just have to wait and see what happens.

Its what I did with Seasons and Fresh Meat 2. I don't feel bad about it one bit either. And Survivor is dope! I'm watching it now and I love it! Its just a really cool show and very well produced show! I hate the host but I love the show. And I'm too ready for Big Brother this summer!

[QUOTE=Meelz;406516]Jordan/Johnny Jordan/Frank (from Rivals 2) Jordan/Jessica (if they decided to co-ed the next Rivals)[/QUOTE] Jordan/Nia and Jordan/Theresa too.

So, since this has moved from a discussion about the ratings for this season to speculation on the next season with an Exes format and how to add the Ex-Plosion cast, I'll give my two cents: [QUOTE=Livewitpeace;406523]If its an Exes 2 I see them honestly casting Cory/Lauren, Jenny/Brain, Thomas/Hailey, and Jay/Jenna...[/QUOTE] For starters, I did not see that much of Ex-Plosion, but going off of what everyone else on here who has seen the season, I can see these people in my opinion being introduced next season: -Cory -Brian -Jamie -Jay Again, probably more, but this is what I can remember people saying (I probably made a mistake...) So, going off of Livewitpeace's post, that would mean Cory/Lauren, Jay/Jenna, and Brian/Jenny would come onto an Exes format. -I remember hating Jay from only seeing one episode, so eh, no opinion on him and Jenna. -Cory acts like a hard-***, so I'd love to see how he would fare out in the challenge setting. -Jenny is gold. One of my favorites from Ex-Plosion. I would love to see her! So, where does that leave the triangle that is Thomas/Hailey/Jamie? Does BMP end up dropping one of the couples that I mentioned to get the triangle on there? And if that were to come up, which girl would go with Thomas, Hailey or Jamie? Everyone's going to be half and half with this argument, so whatever... Honestly, we saw two Vegas 2 pairs in Exes (Dustin/Heather, Leroy/Naomi) with a third supposed to have competed (Nany/Adam R.) Going off of that, I have to say that [B]three[/B] is a good enough number of pairings if BMP were to pull the Exes card for next season.

Thomas is reach already and would not need Challenge money so I doubt he would even risk embarassment to compete.

Thomas would be with Hailey and they are really exes opposed to Cory/Lauren and Brian/Jenny. Also, Hailey said she would let Thomas do Exes and he would do to it of course. Also, at the end of the day its in there contract so Jamie's say is pointless!

[QUOTE=IAMNEMESIS;406616]that you are fans of these two really says alot about you...just sayin[/QUOTE] You think I care about your assumptions about me? Lol. I want entertainment and I know Cory and the unstable and cocky Thomas will provide that.

I wanna see a Cutthroat 2 with a rule change that the winning team votes to send in third place team's players to the Gulag. This would cut out the Red team's bull****.

Let's not get this board locked too. Can we please have an intelligent convo w people without bringing up nia, like **** settle down and move the **** on!!

It's pretty difficult to have an intelligent conversation when we have some children on this forum who flip out every time a certain cast member that they like is attacked...

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;406618]Rich not reach and Dustin & Heather and Abram & Cara Maria were still together so they can still be on it[/QUOTE] yes I am aware that was a typo...correct me if I'm wrong but both couples broke up before the Challenge then got back together...Jamie and Thomas however are STILL together and have NEVER broken up. therefore they would not work. As insecure as Jamie is, I do think she would break up with Thomas if he partnered up with Haley, given how she acted towards them on Explosion.

[QUOTE=toenails;406620]Hahaha you're a Nia fan. You're one to talk.[/QUOTE] Nia is a strong, classy female who does not take **** from nobody which is why she beat Johnny's *** is Portland. Corey and Thomas on the other hand are two grade-a ********** who treat other people like **** and each have an ego that rivals Bananas at his worse...why would anybody want to see them back? especialy some of the same people who hate on JEK back in the day.

[QUOTE=toenails;406641]It's pretty difficult to have an intelligent conversation when we have some children on this forum who flip out every time a certain cast member that they like is attacked...[/QUOTE] oh yeah you are very intelligent referring to other members as "children" its not like any of us know each other. go be a smartass somewhere else. #buhbye

Nia is definitely not classy. LOL She is the definition of ratchet.
