The Challenge: Free Agents - Not So Trivial Pursuits

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;413915]I find it interesting that you always dodge questions when people ask you stuff? Name the cast members that you find "memorable" and what did they do that made you think that way? I think I can speak for everyone on here when I say we have never heard a legit answer to this question.[/QUOTE] Notice how Debut has [I]STILL[/I] avoided answering this question. Hilarious. He's got nothing.

[QUOTE=Viegasjuice;413929]Not anymore. They BARELY show any interaction at all between cast members now, it's all about the challenges/missions. I wish they showed more of what goes on in the house, I couldn't watch this show if it wasn't for my DVR. Too many commercials[/QUOTE] That's why ratings are so low.

[QUOTE=Saloua;414001]But why? I know Anastasia is done because she thought she looked stupid. I'm sorry if I ask too much haha. I recently followed a lot of challengers so I missed a lot.[/QUOTE] It's a wonder isn't it? People go on these shows knowing that what they do might be on national television, yet they are embarrassed or ashamed of what they end up doing. I have a feeling Anastasia will be back. I have no "insider" knowledge or anything but if BMP wants her, then she'll come back for the paycheck. That goes for all the people that have previous "retired." Nothing is truly permanent unless they have been banned.

[QUOTE=Saloua;413958]May I ask why Cooke, Diem, Anastasia and Mandi are done?[/QUOTE] From what I have heard from people on this site they have all said that they are done with challenges.

[QUOTE=ClementineSaves;413973]When you ARE typing your POSTS on this SITE, do you randomly RUN ON and blather INCOMPREHENSIBLY with WORDS until FINALLY finding PUNCTUATION? Or DO YOU have TOURETTES?[/QUOTE] What in God's name are you talking about?

[QUOTE=toenails;414020]Notice how Debut has [I]STILL[/I] avoided answering this question. Hilarious. He's got nothing.[/QUOTE] Oh I know. He responds to everyone else except me.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;414024]That's why ratings are so low.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't expect such an ignorant statement from you. Promotion is why the ratings are low. Gauntlet 3 had much more camera time surrounding the missions instead of what goes on inside the house and the ratings were still really good.

The ratings are low because of a night switch and a lack of a reason to care

I think I can speak for everyone on here when I say we have never heard a legit answer to this question.[/QUOTE] Um First off I don't dodge questions. Secondly I answerd it before but if you want to know who I find memorable here it is. Julie(New Orleans 1)-Her trying to kill Veronica, Her Fight with Coral and Trying to Follow The Road to god) and several other things. Coral(Back to New York)-She is Quote Machine-"I don't Wrestle I beat *****es up" "I'm not Rosa Parks and this is 1954" Mike(Back to New York)-His Miz Persona was always a Treat. Abram(South Pacific)-His intensity and explosiveness was always great to watch. Him Beating Donell's *** on his season was great to watch. CT(Paris)-Im Not a Fan of him but He has had so many great moments on these shows it's to many to count. Punching the **** out of Adam(Paris) Making Backpack his...well backpack. His Romance with Diem(I never cared for it but I can see how other people would) Brad(San Diego 1)-NOW IT'S A NECKLACE!!!! Need I say more? Beth(Los Angeles)-The way she just has people hate her and her stint on the Gauntlet 2 was amazing. Katie-Her Stint on The Inferno 1 was Memorable as hell IMO Veronica-Not a Fan but she has always brought some Drama. There's more.

Oh and here's some More. Belou-She only did one Challenge but the way she cussed out Chadwick and Holly will always strike a chord with me. Ellen-Her stint On Battle of the Sexes- Was Memorable. She did it all. Emily(Second Adventure)She was a ***** and very Cutthroat. I wish she came back. Puck(San Francisco)-In Retrospect he was terrible but his Wedding, Spat with Ellen, and His exit were awesome. Dustin-He was entertaining on Battle of the Seasons 2. In that challenge he was memorable. I'll post more that come to mind.

[B] The ratings are low because of a night switch [/B]and a lack of a reason to care[/QUOTE] I think this is the Real Reason ratings are low. They should've kept it on Wednesdays. Had they did that I think the ratings would be higher Mainly because it's been on Wednesdays for so long. It could've kept the momentum Ex-plosion Created.

[QUOTE=Viegasjuice;414051]I could be wrong, but I think her comment was a shot at me saying I can't watch the show live because of commercials so I DVR it.[/QUOTE] And you and others who do that are partly responsible for the shows bad ratings. Commercials arent long and that's when you go to the bathroom or make done popcorn.

It's the promoters job to convince people to watch the show, to give them a reason to watch it and they did a very poor job this time around. All we saw was "I'm looking for some action" commercials.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;413918]This REALITY SHOW airs on MTV not ESPN...without drama it wouldn't survived since that bring rating that's why Gimmick corny format are the only that have work for the ratings on the last 7 seasons.[/QUOTE] See Survivor and The Amazing Race...competition creates natural drama without the forced crap we see The drama from the "old seasons" was largely based on competition with a couple exceptions (Beth/Tonya/Robin & Veronica/Emily for example)

The force crap is the only one that works on that channel and their target demographic. You cannot compared Survivor/The Amazing Race casual viewers with MTVs.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;414122]Nor do they air on ESPN as you had previously stated The forced crap isn't working on their channel--the ratings prove that[/QUOTE] It did on the past and Catfish is working fine still the same with Teen mom/Are you the one that is not airing right now. Right now Just Script it shows and 16/Pregnant that is not as popular as it spinoff. Is MTV don't expect a show like Survivor or Amazing race on it.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;414072]And you and others who do that are partly responsible for the shows bad ratings. Commercials arent long and that's when you go to the bathroom or make done popcorn.[/QUOTE] Nothing beats zooming through an episode commercial free is beautiful.

Lmao Nany was giving Johnny R a BJ? or it was more? His short were down....

So are we going to pretend like MTV cares about this show even though they're airing Not So Trivial Pursuits instead of a re-run of Pride Before The Wall? God, MTV really needs get their heads on straight.

[QUOTE=JayTee;414574]So are we going to pretend like MTV cares about this show even though they're airing Not So Trivial Pursuits instead of a re-run of Pride Before The Wall? God, MTV really needs get their heads on straight.[/QUOTE] MTV doesn't care about the challenge, but they play 20 reruns of Faking it even though is pulling worse ratings than the challenge

Was anyone shocked Laurel voted in Aneesa, thinking it was going to be Theresa? Aneesa killed it though, so good for her. I wonder how Cohutta will take the Nany/Johnny hook up. He deserves better. Plus Issac and Jonna? Not shocked they actually look good together. But I mean c'mon, it's only right for Jonna to go for him after Jasmine had her way lol.

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;414580]They care when the season is successful but this season is not successful and its almost done and at this point there is not much they can do IMO. So they probably just said **** it! See ya next season lmao[/QUOTE] They never really care about the challenge and Real world, that's why they never promoted the same way as Buckwild/Teen Mom/Catfish/Kersey Shore...The only show doing way better than The challenge is Catfish. If you check the ratings every other show other than Catfish is doing mediocre they don't pass the 1.3 mark

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;414596]But Rivals II they did do re runs at least after the episode and the right episode and before. They did better than what they are doing now.[/QUOTE] Every show was doing better....MTV as a whole is doing horrible except for catfish. I can see a little increase tomorrow. Even Oxygen channel is doing bad with Bad girls club this season so far.
