[QUOTE=Desertpuma;422385]I thought Noor did not want to come back[/QUOTE] I don't know about now, but after his season he definitely wanted back in for a year or two (he would tweet back and forth with several cast members, including Derrick) Speaking of Derrick, his twitter disappeared completely about 2 weeks ago. Anyone know why?

[QUOTE=RWRR4Life;422386]Speaking of Derrick, his twitter disappeared completely about 2 weeks ago. Anyone know why?[/QUOTE] Probably his master -- I mean wife -- made him stop using it.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;422385]I thought Noor did not want to come back[/QUOTE] Brandon in an interview recently that Noor did want to come back but he never gets asked back and Brandon thinks it is because production doesn't like him. I like Noor and thought he was funny but he doesn't drink so I guess production thought he was boring.

I'd rather watch sober Dan than drunken Nany, Camila, CT, etc.. Production needs to get their heads out of their *****.

I'm watching the earlier seasons and i know Susie is a fan favorite, but I don't really like her. Props to her for doing well every season though.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;422406]How does not drinking equate to being boring? I'd rather watch sober Dan than drunken Nany, Camila, CT, etc.. Production needs to get their heads out of their *****.[/QUOTE] I didn't think he was boring but I bet production thought he was boring because he didn't drink and wasn't in drama. Production loves the drunken fights clearly since they love Nany & Camila.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;422373]Debut, how can you think that was not funny? [url=http://youtu.be/i8UjG5B-p4s]Timmy - YouTube[/url][/QUOTE] Aneesa made that funny moreso than him I think. [QUOTE=TeamLandon;422375]Oh come on DA! Rachel and the mean girls on Inferno 2 was great! Cruel, but fun to watch at the same time. Timmy is and always will be entertaining. And I just adore Theo's humor... but I could be in the minority on that.[/QUOTE] Veronica and Tina made that whole mean girls thing entertaining IMO. Rachel was just there really. But those two clips take me back. Those were the good old days.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;422340]They do bring drama but not the good kind of drama.[/QUOTE] But if they were on a real world season they would bring the good kind of drama, right

[QUOTE=nevidcm;422418]Tina is such a *****, and that's why I love her so much.[/QUOTE] I've actually talked to her way back when MySpace was still a thing. She believes in blunt honesty which is a good thing.

[QUOTE=DarkFights;422420]But if they were on a real world season they would bring the good kind of drama, right[/QUOTE] Cara Maria wouldn't but Laurel Might.

Season 26 exes 2?

I don't understand where people are getting the "I want all Emily's" statements from because I never once said that. To be honest I want all Laurels, CTs and Franks aka people who can compete in all sorts of Challenges and still stir the house up. Yes Latoya vs Jemmye was entertaining, but it was a good type of elimination so anybody who can at least run a mile and has more strength than that of a chihuahua (sorry Jazmin and Preston) would have been entertaining in that elimination. I don't mind decent competitors like Nany, Camila, Cohutta and Jordan. But it's just kind of ridiculous how people are assuming that athletes can't cause drama as if not enough of them talk trash about other athletes on a daily basis. Like take for example Wes and Darrell: even though they didn't really have a huge fight and the little encounter only lasted for like a couple hours, it was still very entertaining to watch and then start thinking to yourself which one of these great competitors is better. If it was Danny getting in a little argument with Syrus nobody would have remembered that, because those 2 are sucky competitors. A clash of the titans type of scenario is always entertaining to watch.

Titans are only Titans when they tower over the common folk. You're proposing to eliminate the common folk (which would just mean all your Titans become common themselves).

I'd wanna see marie back. She mentioned on her Instagram she keeps getting asked back and that she may do another. I'm hoping she comes back, but not on exes 2 assuming that's the next season.

BMP wants everything. Some tremendous athletes, some ridiculously uncoordinated players. Some crazy wild party peeps, some early to bed types. Some social butterflies, some that rather stand in a dark corner. Seeing them opposites in action, whether working together or as opposition, is what makes "great" TV. Same driving principle was originally behind "The Real World". All they did was add competitions (athletic or otherwise) and incorporate eliminations to up the ante. But the casting decisions parallel, I believe.

[QUOTE=boncat23;422429]Season 26 exes 2?[/QUOTE] Possibly. There was a twitter question asked on The Challenge twitter page (official page) as to what they wanted next season to be and a lot of people responded saying they wanted an Exes 2. Exes 2, Ruins 2, and of course Fresh Meat were the top responses. Now I can't say if BMP/MTV really looks at this page and take it into account.

Granted, I'm not really against the concept; I just never thought it was a popular one at all.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;422441]...People actually [I]want[/I] to see another Fresh Meat?

They wanna go on and compete.

Fresh meat 2 is not happening lol Anyways I skip through a lot of that boring special, but did they ever announced who won MVP for both Polls?

[QUOTE=PinkRose;422444]Fresh meat 2 is not happening lol Anyways I skip through a lot of that boring special, but did they ever announced who won MVP for both Polls?[/QUOTE] Male and female? No. CT moments won everything except one and Veronica and Julie won that one.

[QUOTE=gamer73;422445]Male and female? No. CT moments won everything except one and Veronica and Julie won that one.[/QUOTE] Then why MTV did those 2 polls for? They wrote they were announcing it on that special.... No, surprise about CT winning everything fans love him.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;422447]Then why MTV did those 2 polls for? They wrote they were announcing it on that special.... No, surprise about CT winning everything fans love him.[/QUOTE] I'm surprised Julie and Veronica beat him out of something. It just goes to show you that some of the older cast members still have a big fan base.

The fact that 90% of the "winning" moments were from old school days says something, whether we like it or not

[QUOTE=auldx;422452]The fact that 90% of the "winning" moments were from old school days says something, whether we like it or not[/QUOTE] Yup. It might just be my impression, but I feel like the ratio of returning players to rookies has changed over the last 3 seasons or so. Back in the old days, the majority of the cast would be returning players. Maybe 3-4 rooks mixed in. It feels like now there are more rooks (and new generation players, even if they've been on 1 challenge before) cast. That is why rooks no longer get the "rook" treatment. There aren't enough vets to enforce the numbers.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;422444]Fresh meat 2 is not happening lol Anyways I skip through a lot of that boring special, but did they ever announced who won MVP for both Polls?[/QUOTE] Well Fresh Meat 2 did happen.... We all know another Fresh Meat is not gonna happen but we never said that it would either.

[QUOTE=auldx;422452]The fact that 90% of the "winning" moments were from old school days says something, whether we like it or not[/QUOTE] That the old-School Challenges had better casts and moments.

& were more memorable. Don't get me wrong, I liked some of the more recent seasons, but If I were to spend a day watching the challenges i'd go back to the old school ones

And I'm also not sure why Debut Album liked your comment when he hates on every athlete in the house except for CT.
