I kinda like Devyn but I don't want to see her again because I thought she'd be a Kimberly but she's a Brooke instead, she's pretty and won't get physical in a elimination in fear of breaking a nail
R.E. Aneesa's Duel 2 performance - that was 5 years ago. She knows her weaknesses and has had time to train since then, and you can see she has been just by the pictures she posts online that she has. I think she definitely deserves another chance in a final to prove if she has actually improved or not. [QUOTE=Challenge 17;422542]Partner eliminations are sure as hell not better then physical one on one eliminations tho[/QUOTE] I do agree that physical one-on-ones are very entertaining, but I think for the sake of fairness, they need to have other types of elimination rounds too. I will agree that one-on-ones are better than basically every single partner elimination (minus exiles).
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;422576]At this point I don't care who comes back. I just want the challenge next season to have theme and that theme maybe have a twist in the format. Because its like everyone thats on these list will most likely be back (Jonna, CM, Camila, Jasmine, Marlon, Eric, etc.) and thats just how its gonna be and I'm fine with that. I'm more worried about the theme because to me now and days thats the big make or break. The cast is whatever because you'll always have the ones you like and the ones you don't like. Thats with any reality tv show.[/QUOTE] Yeah because there's never been a challenge twist before...
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;422948]Yeah because there's never been a challenge twist before...[/QUOTE] Not like a double elimination or something.
If the next season is most likely Exes 2, then I doubt we'll see Nia which sucks because she has been training hard and working out after her early exit on Free Agents. I was actually looking forward to seeing her.

I hope BMP pulls a "BMP" and casts Nia/Jordan as a team and Leroy/Theresa as a team. Both are pretty stacked!
Nia to me made no impression on Free Agents. Am I itching to see her back? Not particularly. Would I mind seeing her back? No, but kind of in the way I wouldn't mind seeing Ashley K or McKenzie back. Just to give them another chance to actually do something significant on a Challenge. Also, I like fresh faces.
I'm really really okay with the pairs/team missions but i firmly believe a challenge called "free agents" should be an strictly individual final.
[QUOTE=JayTee;422570][QUOTE]Tehcnically there isn't, but if you don't prove anything then you won't get respected and if you don't get respected you lose votes and when you lose votes your chances of being thrown into an elimination is high. Not only that but there's always been a ritual for fresh meat dating all the way back to elementary school. It's part of human nature honestly.[/QUOTE] Plenty of people on these shows have gotten by without proving anything. These shows are a popularity contest most of the time. not some hardcore competition where the strong only survive. [QUOTE]JEK were a staple because they were loud mouths who MASTERED the political aspect of the Challenge no matter what the format. Sure they didn't win everytime, but who does? They did make more finals than anyone else. They were the original bullies and *******s of the Challenge. They were the biggest force to be reckoned with. And Wes brought much more drama than guys like Zach or Jordan. In Freshmeat when he made a huge fit for sending all his friends home and being a constant target, Duel for manipulating Evan and standing up to CT while he was going ape ****, in Ruins he was basically the center plot theme even though he got eliminated early, FM2 was centered around his alliance vs Kenny's alliance, and Rivals he was part of the whole alliance that was trying to eliminate CT. That's 5 challenges where he played a major role.[/QUOTE] The only thing they have mastered is being uninteresting, Unlikable, and unfunny. Those idiots are the original bullies? Nope not by a long shot. You need to watch the challenges before Fresh Meat 1 because it's clear you haven't And Wes was only entertaining on The Duel and The Ruins all the other shows? nope not by a long shot. [QUOTE] I think Jordan has some potential as well, but he's still a failure from what he's shown us. Riley hasn't shown anything memorable and Devyn just barely started getting entertaining again.[/QUOTE] Devyn never stopped Being entertaining. And I agree that Johnny hasn't done anything memorable but there's potential there. [QUOTE]Frank has been talking so much crap as if he was a god at these challenges. I'm not denying his potential, I think he can definitely win a challenge imo but at the same time I have my doubts, as well as a hundred thousand other people who don't like his attitude. If he's so confident in his abilities then he should back them up. Winning an easy final, being paired up with King Bananas, beating Chet and Zito in eliminations is not really impressive.[/QUOTE] He's proven that he can win and he can compete. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. If he wants to talk **** let him. Backpack talks **** too and he's had more an easy road than anyone really.
Why do we use the "JEK only ran the game because they did so many challenges!". Um, so do a majority of people who become well-known from Challenges and/or control the game^ Veronica did 7 (6 were in a row), Katie did 8 or 9, Coral did 6, etc. I will NOT even touch on the subject of how Bananas has not had an easy road, because it is obvious your hatred for him blinds you from seeing reality.

He may have it "easy" now but how many times did he get eliminated first?
Now i'd say Leroy & Reilly had a relatively easy road. Rooks now have it easier, since there are more newer cast and the rookie rule/if all else fails thing that you put in rookies first doesn't apply as much
Here are some statistics of the finalist from Free Agents, Just on [B]FREE AGENTS[/B] no other seasons: Bananas 4 daily challenges wins, 3 elimination wins. Zach 4 daily challenge wins, 1 elimination wins. Johnny R 4 challenge wins, 0 elimination wins. Laurel 4 challenges wins, 4 elimination wins. Nany 5 challenge wins, 0 elimination wins. Devyn 4 challenge wins, 0 elimination wins. I was bored so i decide to see the Twitter follower from the cast of Free Agents, Theresa/Isaac are the least follow ones: 1. CT [B]150k followers[/B] 2.

I'm surprised Nany has more than Bananas
[QUOTE=auldx;423359]I'm surprised Nany has more than Bananas[/QUOTE] Nany is more active and of course it's Nany. Where as Johnny is mostly active during challenge season and has more "haters" than Nany. Plus I remember his twitter was hard to find, many of the challengers would follow this other Johnny account thinking it's him so that could of been the case with others.
I am suprised Nany has more than Bananas too but yeah he really only tweets during the season and other than that he isn't on it much.
It shows a lot of what the show has become when everyone on twitter last night was pissed off that the elimination last night was a puzzle. That [B]one of eleven[/B] eliminations was a puzzle. When before Exes they were always in rotation. I think the show needs to go back and diversify it's elimination pool, the best set of eliminations for me (i.e. the ones without a weak link) Duel 2 and to a I Can shaped lesser extent Duel Duel 2 had The Elevator which tested endurance, Back Off which supplies the wrestling/physical collision junkies their fill, Pole Dancing which is both endurance, strength and kinda tactics, Push Over another one for the physical junkies and Spot On which is the puzzle in rotation which requires endurance and speed as well. Duel has Ascender which I think is the best example of mixing physical prowess and puzzling, Pole Wrestle, the physical junkies fix and Push Me, which is (After the sudden rule change following Beth/Svetlana), is an awesome mix of endurance, physical leverage and tactics. By far the best of them all. Although I do like BOTS2 set Endurance, Physical, Mental and Strategy categories.
They need an endurance (ie ascender.. who can stand on a pole the longest.. ect) a physical (Balls in, pole wrestle) mental (puzzle, ie sliders) and a speed/physical one (ie oppenheimer) on FA they only had 2/4.
Brad kind of said it best on Duel I. When they're in rotation, no matter who you choose you don't know whose going to have the advantage that elimination

What I think would have been fairer is if all 4 guys and girls had done the puzzle and last place was eliminated then and there. Watching Theresa lose it knowing she was so close to a final and was losing to Laurel over Deyvn and to a much lesser extent Nany was painful. Although in that case I still see Theresa being eliminated.

Although, Theresa may still have left if Devyn beasted the puzzle. (Kass on Survivor anyone how she fully solved that puzzle whe she a behind?)
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;422615]I kinda like Devyn but I don't want to see her again because I thought she'd be a Kimberly but she's a Brooke instead, she's pretty and won't get physical in a elimination in fear of breaking a nail[/QUOTE] I would say Devyn is better than Brooke. Devyn at least has some athletic ability.

Plus, you put Nia and Jordan in the same team.....drama gold.
I wouldn't be surprised if she is talking about BMP/MTV calling her for the next challenge, I heard by a little birdie they really want her for the next challenge: [ATTACH]5435[/ATTACH] About Nia, if it's an exes 2 they can stretch the protein shake comment about Leroy.

If they really want her for the next challenge, were they thinking exes (w dustin?)
[QUOTE=v123;422597]Laurel never gained any ground in that second collision so obviously Laurel didn't affect Aneesa that badly. Laurel is FAR bigger than Aneesa and should've trucked her over completely but Aneesa more than held her own. I don't think you realize the size difference between the two; it would be like Zach or CT crashing into any other male there. Think about it for a second, most would not stand a chance. That's not to take anything away from Laurel because she would bulldoze anyone of those girls there, rather your problem is you're just not giving Aneesa enough credit. And she didn't "choke hard" on Duel 2. She fought her way through 3 elimination rounds and sent home 3 girls, 2 of which were legitimate threats. She sucked in the final but she that doesn't take away from what she did in the elimination rounds. I love how you only focus on all the flaws she has in her game but pay her absolutely no credit for what has contributed to the game.[/QUOTE] Aneesa has a lot of body weight, the size difference isn't drastic unless you're talking about height. So of course Laurel wasn't going to truck her but she still almost broke her neck. Laurel beat her in something that Aneesa is only good at: physical eliminations. And no she choked and hard. Who the hell "earns" a spot in the final but can't get across a stream when there's a rope you can grab for leverage? She was the was the anchor of that final. And what exactly did she contribute to Free Agents? Being seen as a hypocrite, begging Laurel not to go after her?

That's the only format I can see them wanting her as bad as i heard they do and be so persistent about it. Especially since they have been the most popular couple from the last seasons to the extend on being on another reality show just based on their relationship and having a BAD break up. Devyn gave an spoilers on AfterBuzz that people are already training for the next challenge like I told you guys ;)
