I mean… i don’t think leroy and nany were ever really that close. Nany and naomi were the closest coming out of their season, and after naomi and leroy’s falling out, nany probably sided with her girl.
[QUOTE=auldx;409225]Nany's cool with Adam Royer (she tweets at him sometimes) so i figure she's cool with Leroy too. They probably just don't talk as much[/QUOTE]
Her and Adam are cool now since when?
Naomi and Leroy were together last week so I guess they are cool now. I think Nany & Leroy are cool they just are closer to other people on the cast.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;409279]Her and Adam are cool now since when?[/QUOTE]
hm well they may not talk but they sometimes tag each other in tweets. So cool, as in if they saw each other they wouldn't kill each other?
i remember diem saying that nany was like leroys sister and leroy even said he protected her throughout rivals 2 and was completely shocked when she voted him into the jungle. i hope there is no bad blood b/w them two.

I think Diem said that because she has stated before that the Vegas 2 cast was one of the closest cast she had ever seen. You can tell though, that its not any brother, sister relationship between Nany & Leroy. He's never even around her, and you would think brother & sister would stick together in a house like that, but they don't at all.

Long ago @MTVBananas taught me, " the steal of a man is tempered through the flames of adversity" you're a steal-y man ;-) good job!
Mike and Banana's are friends so I imagine Leroy and Banana's are even closer (seeing as they have a few challenges done under their belt).
Then again, who doesn't like Mike?

Yes, wasn't the vegas 2 cast one of the only cast to all leave at the same time?
Leroy is probably closer to Naomi/mike, as Nany is closer to Heather/dustin (awkward? lol).
I was surprised that Nany voted Leroy in too actuallly

Bananas & Leroy hang out outside the show whenever they can so they are pretty close.
Looking into Free Agents, I'm not sure whether I can distinguish Leroy playing an incredibly safe game or an incredibly lazy game, but I want to lean more towards the latter.
On one hand, his safe game and likeability has always got him close to the end of the game. No one really wants to go against Leroy, no one really votes him in, no one really has anything against him. The only votes he really gets are throwaway votes. On the other hand, he may suffer from not making enough moves to save himself.
In these team challenges, he hasn't really done...anything. Preston is making better strides in performances on The Challenges than he has, but because he's Leroy and in great shape, I'm almost afraid he's chosen to become complacent rather than show he's a dominant competitor.

I've always had this feeling that he's playing 3rd fiddle to Bananas and CT. Hard to tell because this past week was Leroy's first time he wasn't in the draw. Out of the "newest era" Leroy is definitely the most tight with Johnny and CT, being on 3 seasons with both of them (Rivals, Exes, Rivals II).

I get that feeling as well. He's hanging out with them so much he's just associated with them, and just ends up near the end or something.

Well the original Rivals was a veteran laden cast, and Leroy & Mike were the only new guys there. Those guys bonded with Leroy, and embraced him in a way that they haven't embraced a new cast member since Rivals I.
Dang Leroy is a good competitor. He doesnt boast about victories but gives the loser compliments.(Cohutta and Johnny R)
He's a good sport and hopefully he makes it to the end.
[QUOTE=auldx;419158]If Mike came back, he would be very wildly loved just like Leroy by the vets.[/QUOTE]
Mike was very, very lucky that JEK was so focused on vanquishing CT that they basically ignored him and Leroy. I think Mike would get destroyed in pretty much any physical elimination. If Mike came back, I see him being like Knight & Preston on Rivals 2; he would be the "lay-up" that people keep around as long as they can because he is weak.

and very very lucky Leroy could climb that rope super fast
We never saw Mike in an elimination but he didn't do as bad as I thought he would in the challenges.
Would Mike even do another one? That would be awesome.

Doubt it. Seems like the kind if person who is more into his career. And he's getting married soon
If Leroy can't bring the fight to the challenge, then he should just stay home. I know he's a funny guy, and the girls love him, but its a competition, so compete. What happened to the Rivals I Leroy, that ate that rope alive on the helicopter? What happened? Did the Vegas life bring him down? I mean what happened? I believe if the helicopter mission was on this season, he would suck, and would be terrified. I just wanna know what happened...

Nothing happened. People are just starting to see the type of competitor he always has been. There's no teammate or partner to blame, just Leroy.

Hes just good at climbing ropes.
Also he was the one that wanted to quit rivals the whole time apparently, NOT mike
Yeah people always said" wait until Leroy gets on a individual one, he will kill it" but he hasn't at all the only thing he did was win a physical elimination against someone half his size.
[QUOTE=King Bananas;425285]To me there are 4 stages a competitor could be. Bad, developing, good, and the legends. Leroy is good but people like Bananas and CT are legends.[/QUOTE]
How do you know he's good if he's throwing challenges? I say he's in the "developing" category.
[QUOTE=TeamLandon;425350]How do you know he's good if he's throwing challenges? I say he's in the "developing" category.[/QUOTE]
Definitely still developing. He's still got a couple Challenges to hit his stride. If Bananas or CT weren't there, he'd be one of the top guys.
I think if Leroy thought he was the best athlete or could beat the zach/ct/jb's, than he wouldn't play middle ground and have the "just don't get last" mentality. That mentality is for people who know they are not better than others. He is a very good climber, and he is probably middle to upper level in terms of strength. Haven't really seen his speed much, his endurance is questionable. Overall that's not great. If he decided to not just lay low and just "last" and went for the big dogs right away and made moves, he may not even make it as far as he does now who knows. But i'd love to see him try and to see him do well because i legit like him and have met him before and chatted with him before.
