I mean you're tied to a professional and you wouldn't get injured so nothing to worry about IMO

No it wouldn't, the eliminations would be epic......

I have been wanting to sky dive for so long, but I know that when I get they, I'll freak out.

Skydivings on my bucketlist. I'd probably be freaked out, but i'd do it. (And preferably tandem so I don't die)

I want to sky dive and I've also been wanting to bungee jump for so long. They are definitely on my bucket list and I hope I can do them.

I'm horribly afraid of heights. Well, not really, but sky diving I would be terribly afraid of. But there is the possibility to get injured or killed! They have to sign waivers.
Good thing I'm not on the Challenge then lol. Some of these challenges look so easy but I bet as soon as I would get up there, I'd be freaking out.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422188]No it wouldn't, the eliminations would be epic......[/QUOTE]
The eliminations of Free Agents were pretty epic. Most definitely the best in recent memory.
The issue ends up being is there a clause in the contract that says "Your family can't sue us if we accidentally kill you"
Knowing these contracts, I wouldn't be shocked if it said "WE will sue your family if we accidentally kill you"
[QUOTE=auldx;422203]Honestly, I love heights. Sometimes I look at these challenges and am like, "That would be fun to do!" - given no time limit and doing it for fun[/QUOTE]
This is true. If there was no pressure or time limit, I'm sure I would enjoy myself doing a bunch of those. But with all the pressure and it's like "GET IT DONE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE", I don't think they would be terribly fun for me hahaha

I have to agree that BMP does cast a certain type of member for drama, but there are other people in this challenge that cause drama and are athletic. Look at CT, now he isn't causing as much drama, but I am just using him as an example.
A real world example would be (an Olympian) Hope Solo. Anything she says usually backfires on her and people her label her as a "drama queen." I guess there just aren't that many athletes that cause drama in these shows, lol.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;422112]So she quit boohoo but she brings the hot messiness and I love a good hot mess from time to time. I love Trishelle and I'm all down for a good comeback story. I really think her and Steven could do well together if cast.[/QUOTE]
Why, Steven knows nobody there and trashelle is a bad competitor......
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422214]Why, Steven knows nobody there and trashelle is a bad competitor......[/QUOTE]
Who cares if Steven knows nobody there? It gets boring watching the same people come back over and over again. Trishelle is NOT a bad competitor, she did great on BOTSeasons and won Fear Factor back in the day. Trishelle absolutely deserves to come back because she is big name in the reality tv world.

I'm saying that because he would have no alliances......
She didn't do great on seasons, she was lucky she had a very strong team that she was the weakest on....

She made it to the final challenge after having not been on the show for 8 years. She did something right.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422222]She had the strongest team there...... she was so lucky[/QUOTE]
She made Nany go into elimination twice. And by made I mean, refused to go in (rightfully so- because of Alton but still).
She's lucky Dustin was so patient with her.
And he could hold his breath for like.. minutes
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422222]She had the strongest team there...... she was so lucky[/QUOTE]
Las Vegas was not the strongest team there. Try the most dysfunctional team! And how is going into an elimination lucky? Now Devyn & Johnny R. thats luck! Not Trishelle.
And so what if Steven has no allies, you make some. Cohutta did. Steven could too.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422222]She had the strongest team there...... she was so lucky[/QUOTE]
Oh also, I wouldn't say the strongest but definitely threats. Alton threatening to quit kind of doesn't make them the strongest team
but had Alton been in his old-challenge era state of mind, Cooke instead of Trishelle, and keep Nany/Dustin (or take out Nany, add Heather) they definitely had the potential to be one of the strongest.

I say take out Alton and Trishelle completely and put in Leroy and Cooke and that will be one strong team.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;422240]I say take out Alton and Trishelle completely and put in Leroy and Cooke and that will be one strong team.[/QUOTE]
Alton is stronger than Leroy at everything except probably for upper body strength. But yea Trishelle for Cooke would be a huge step up.

No doubt Vegas would have won then

I never said I want normal people? But isn't everyone normal, even Olympic athletes? If this show had more competitive people then it would be a lot better. I'd rather see people right over who's better than people fight over nonsense like Nany and Camila did on FA. And if BMP didn't care for athleticism they wouldn't make some of the missions and the finals extremely difficult.
[QUOTE=WesIsTheBest;422164]I played football and ran track, I am as competitive as it gets. But that's only during the activity, during the actual game/meet and at practice. I don't see myself getting pissed at my partner if they quit like Trishelle did, I see myself getting pissed at my partner if they quit DURING a daily mission or a final.[/QUOTE]
Lol at comparing quitting at high school football to quitting on your partner who has to go home as well in a competition for a lot of money and pride.
I think it depends on the circumstances on how/why people quit. It didn't really bother me Cameran quit on Gaunlet 2 because her decision didn't affect anyone else. I get if the enviornment is too stressful for you and you want to leave. But I don't like the way Trashelle quit because she had a partner. Also the way she went out without even caring about Sarah. If you have a partner I feel like you should stick it out. I know Alton hated Seasons but I felt bad Nany had to leave because he didn't try. I also feel like Vegas could have won it all and he gave up that oppurtunity.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422259]No doubt Vegas would have won then[/QUOTE]
If only. if only.
(but at the time i dont think Heather would have "let" Dustin be on a challenge with Cooke.)

Even though i'm not the biggest fan of Naomi, her leaving Rivals II was great. It made another top contender, and I think her reason for going home was a good reason. (Although perhaps she shouldn't have gone on in the first place if so the cicurcumstances). And she felt geniunely bad for Cooke as well, which was nice to see

THANK YOU.
I haven't read any posts since this one so I don't know what's been said but why all the sudden is every cast member weak or below average if they aren't some beast like Laurel or Emily, or CT or whoever? It's like "Oh yeah well, I would never keep Nany on my team. She only came in first 3 challenges this season and she didn't even go into elimination!" Or when Latoya beat Jemmye and people gave her props, people were like "She didn't do anything special. She beat Jemmye. It's not like she beat Laurel." Like what? No **** she didn't beat Laurel, and she shouldn't have to or be expected to. But Jemmye is a vet and she's no slouch. I just don't get what is up with that. I would seriously not watch a challenge full of Evelyn's, Rachel's, and Emily's. Not only would it be boring to watch because they're all beasts, but it would be boring to watch because THEY ARE ALL BORING (IMO). I'd much rather watch Melissa swinging around a ladder and screaming help because she's freaking out then watch Evelyn beast another mission. At least I can laugh at the former. The latter is just like "oh, cool Evelyn won again...great."
The same people who complain about the challenges not being as fun anymore are the ones complaining about how there shouldn't be people there who aren't there to compete 100%. Yes, I understand the show has changed, but the challenges began as a way for cast members from RW and RR compete for money and prizes, but still basically have a vacation. As a fan of the show from the beginning, I still enjoy watching that aspect. I love the competitions, but I also love watching Devyn have a funeral for her wig, or watching the whole house cheer Theresa and CT on in their BBall game. Could you imagine a show with all Laurel's? Like, the commentary would just be so terrible.
And yeah I don't see the big deal about quitting. Like, I'm not for it but whatever. Coral quit and I wouldn't mind if she came back. Emily Bailey quit (ugh but actually, that might be the worst form of quitting) but she would've been cool to see again. I love Cameran, so I don't care that she quit. At least she's eye candy. Shauvon can stay home though.

Absolutely. She had a sick father and 100 percent made the right decision to go home. If you have family issues then it is completely understandable to go home. Those issues are more important than a game.
