The Challenge: What Ifs

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;415553]Veronica didn't make it to episode 7.[/QUOTE] My bad, I meant episode 6.

What if Rivals II had Bananas/CT and Wes/Frank as teams? Would CT still have won his first challenge with Bananas not being in great shape? Would they have targeted Wes and Frank right away? What if Zach and Trey weren't DQ'd? They could have easily made the final 3, and from then, who knows?

The Rivals II final was very heavy on puzzles. So Zach/Trey probably would have gotten 3rd if they made it to the end.

Imagine how much better The Gauntlet III would have been if the Vet guys actually tried to throw every single girl mission from the beginning. And then the girls would realize what was going on and try to throw the guy missions too. That would have been hilarious. Pretty much every single mission the Vets would lose because someone on the team was [I]trying[/I]​ to lose.

What if CT had not been DQ'd in the Duel against Brad would he of won the Final against Wes? I mean those soccer kicks with the 5 min head start are what won him the Final against Brad so the question is would CT had been able to make up that time?

What if on The Island the cast would have voted Johnny out on the 2nd vote? Johnny would not have won that challenge and the whole JEK Dynasty wouldn't have started because after winning The Island he was on the champions team on The Ruins which was his 2nd win. Also the whole challenge landscape would have been different too because he would of probably done different challenge seasons trying to get his 1st win

Would it have been Derrick, Dunbar, Paula and Kenny on the winning boat? Which means that Ev would have lost and wouldn't have been on the champions for the ruins and that would've changed a lot of things

Edit: nevermind I realized Ev had won a challenge before then (Inferno 3) but the Banana's thing would have been a game changer

What if on the gauntlet III coral didn't quit and went in and beat Evelyn at a puzzle?

[QUOTE=ewright006;415758]What if on the gauntlet III coral didn't quit and went in and beat Evelyn at a puzzle?[/QUOTE] Coral would be in the final, vets still would have lost (unless they got rid of big easy)

What if Casey had been sent into the ruins instead of Brianna the one mission the challengers won. Brianna would have possibly made it to the end and the challengers possibly would have won more missions.

What if the Duel 2 final wasn't completely idiotic and didn't make the males wait for female partners, and instead it was a purely individual race like Duel 1? Do you think the outcome could have been different? Could Mark have potentially won? Although he probably would throw the final to give 1st place to someone else like he always does...

The girls finish doesn't change at all. Maybe Aneesa doesn't even finish.

What if Abram never needed to go home on The Island and therefore never nominated himself for the second face off on the Island with Derrick and Johnny? Who would have been voted in instead of Abram? Who's alliance would Abram have sided with? And would that have changed the winners of The Island?

He would accumulate all 8 keys and race both boats against himself.

[QUOTE=EstimatedRoa;415868]Abram would have continued to go into every mission and win a key one way or another. He would accumulate all 8 keys and race both boats against himself.[/QUOTE] Hahaha that actually sounds like something Abram would do. I miss Abram.

[QUOTE=EstimatedRoa;415868]Abram would have continued to go into every mission and win a key one way or another. He would accumulate all 8 keys and race both boats against himself.[/QUOTE] Honestly. That challenge would've been much more enjoyable to watch if that actually happened.

[QUOTE=JL81790;415905]Abram wanted to give the key to Cohutta but gave it to Dunbar as a favor to Kenny. What if Abram had actually given it to Cohutta?[/QUOTE] It was still early in the game, I think Dunbar would have gotten a key eventually.

What if neither Veronica or Coral had won the lifesavers on the final mission of The Inferno and saved themselves? They would have faced off in the last elimination before the final instead of David and Katie if that was the case. Who would have won this matchup and made it to the final?

The RW team was completely stupid not to put her in the last gauntlet, and she won the lifesaver only because it was a very gender-neutral mission. I think she would have lost to both Cara and Katie.

[QUOTE=toenails;416400]Coral really shouldn't have made it to the finals on The Gauntlet or The Inferno. The RW team was completely stupid not to put her in the last gauntlet, [B]and she won the lifesaver only because it was a very gender-neutral mission[/B]. I think she would have lost to both Cara and Katie.[/QUOTE] Isn't that the point of missions? You don't want them to be biased in favor of one gender (usually guys, as we've seen in two editions of Battle of the Sexes)?

[QUOTE=Youssarian;416401]Isn't that the point of missions? You don't want them to be biased in favor of one gender (usually guys, as we've seen in two editions of Battle of the Sexes)?[/QUOTE] Not really. I like that the Challenges have gotten more based on athleticism.

[QUOTE=toenails;416408]Not really. I like that the Challenges have gotten more based on athleticism.[/QUOTE] This is why I hate the idea of battle of the sexes

I like that they're more athletic too, but when you have guys competing against girls, the challenges need to be fair... Having strictly athletic missions would be completely biased in favor of the guys.

What if Rivals 2 had been a Duel 3? Who do you think would have made it for the men and women if it was a final 5? I think it would have been: CT Wes Johnny Zach Frank Cooke Emily Aneesa Diem Paula

If they had Battle of the Sexes again they would need a stacked female team like Emily, Ev, Susie, Rachel, Laurel, Cooke. Etc

[QUOTE=JEKFAN;416520]If they had Battle of the Sexes again they would need a stacked female team like Emily, Ev, Susie, Rachel, Laurel, Cooke. Etc[/QUOTE] They'd also need a terrible guys team with only one or two good players. Even if they had all bad players and a couple like Zach, CT, Bananas... The best guys are going to make it to the end and the best guys are more than likely still going to beat the best girls, even if they can beat a majority of the guys.
