[QUOTE=Debut Album;423159]I don't get why people are ragging on Devyn. I mean yeah she sucks but so what? She's entertaining and for that she deserves to be there.
Johnny(Portland) hasn't been as entertaining but **** he's new so why the **** not?[/QUOTE]
She doesn't deserve to compete in a final when she sucks
Why does new make someone deserving
Those two did nothing all season...Devyn really wasn't even funny this time

Believe me, I am the first to advocate for entertaining people being on these shows and making is just as far as the "heavy hitters". Devyn, to me, has not been entertaining this season. Her interviews have sounded rehearsed and she really brought nothing besides a wig funeral. The conversation she had before the final sealed the deal. She was basically like "congratulations Laurel and Nany, you're getting 1st and 2nd". At least [I]try[/I]. At least have [I]some[/I] sort of confidence in yourself. If you know you're not going to win a final, why did you come anyway? Why didn't you try to train or make some sort of preparation? What is the purpose of you being on the show?
[QUOTE=Debut Album;423159]I don't get why people are ragging on Devyn. I mean yeah she sucks but so what?[/QUOTE]
My brain just exploded from reading this. Do you actually not understand why the guys are upset that she's in a final where they have to be paired? I like Devyn too...but do you actually really not get it? Really?
I really loved the twist of everyone going into the draw for the last time. Didn't like that it was a puzzle at the end.
I also liked that every guy is paired with every girl at some point in the final, and that they're not stuck with whoever finish faster.
I loved the idea of this Free Agents challenge. One of my favorites ever. Eliminations (NOT the match-ups but the elimination game), the whole individual/pair/team twist (even though there shoudld have been more individual challenges), the draw, the final, etc. The huge problem was the cast, especially with the females, that kind of ruined the season.
And I'm not really excited to watch the final cause I feel like the outcome is so predictable. Also there are no rivalries or much history or even real competition among the finalist to make it interesting to watch.
Oh well, I still enjoyed the season.

Reilly is a good competitor though. You don't see any girls saying "I dread being with reilly"
Zach insecure.
Everytime they show something bad happening to him he doesn't tweet. It's like he only tweets on the days where he knows he doesn't look like a fool.

He's yet to prove that
But he's not Easy or anything

Didn't she freak people out by dressing like a witch once?
[QUOTE=kvm1977;423170]He's yet to prove that

Point is, although not top tier and he has yet to prove that, on portland we saw him working out and running (he has endurance) so he has potential and wouldn't be an anchor
I think the remaining four or five guys have all been good competitors (maybe with the exception of Leroy who isn't much of a swimmer), so the difference amongst them is is the degree of athleticism and physicality. Whereas with the girls, there's a large drop between Laurel, and say Devyn.

yall are just bringing up the recent stuff. That was calm Robin. Robin was calm on Exes compared to past challenges before she became a mother.

I know, I have noticed that too, last season he did the same, I guess he still doesn't handle be on tv really well.
Okay Cara just said Laurel is trying and making an effort to be her friend now, but Cara just said it just doesn't feel right right now. And watching it on tv just brings up some of the same feelings. I think it's so sad that after hanging out and being so close outside the challenge, it took a challenge to tear their friendship apart. And over something petty.
I bet if they do Rivals 3 together they'll be besties again.

No proof yet, but Bananas did say on a podcast that Reilly is very athletic and he's a sleeper. He won the tougher individual challenge and really only messed up on the T-Bone one...he was solid on every other challenge. Plus, he played a smart game in that when the numbers were dwindling he never picked his friends when he was a captain to ensure he wouldn't get voted in. He's definitely not a top tier dude, but I think he could be a solid contributor on a good team.
Cara losing broke my heart :( but seeing CT lose made me feel better. Puzzle Pyramid was a decent elimination, but I'm always a fan of mental/strategy eliminations. I would love to compete in this final, Chile is beautiful, throw in kayaking through rapids and volcano scaling, I'm sold. I'm hoping Devyn proves she is not as weak as people think, this final is going to be intense and crossing the finish line, even if it ends up being third place, will be proof enough IMO that she isn't the horrible competitor many make her out to be.
It was really heartbreaking to see CT & Theresa go. Anyone leaving that close to the final I feel bad for because it just sucks. I hope we can see Theresa kick *** in a final one day.
I hate that the final isn't individual. I don't even get the whole final. So each section is timed? What the ****.. STOP DOING PAIRS FOR FINALS BMP!
I know people are saying Johnny R got lucky and they wish he wasn't in the finals or they wish Nany wasn't in the finals but at least they can compete. It isn't Johnny's fault luck was on his side. It is annoying Devyn is there because she sucks and I feel bad for everytime the guys are paired with her. She played a great political game but as a viewer it is annoying that she is slowing down the guy's time at a chance to win a ton of money. SMH.
Had it been all individual, i wouldnt really care that devyn is there (i mean i wish Theresa would have been there but whatever). But since theyre being paired, i do care because i feel bad for the guys
Devyn is funny but she is one of those people I wish who would just make it half way and then get eliminated because it isn't fair to everyone else plus it just sucks to watch. Theresa/Nany/Laurel would have been awesome to see.
Man, I really wish we could have seen Theresa in this final... I was hoping she was going to make the final all season. Honestly, she's really grown on me, both in Rivals 2 and this season. I remember when the cast lists for Cutthroat, Rivals, and Rivals 2 came out, I was like "Really? This irrelevant girl that nobody likes again?!" but now I'm looking forward to (hopefully) seeing her on future Challenges and rooting for her.
I think Devyn gets too much credit for her politics this season too. I mean on these big teams avoiding the draw is pretty much luck, and if you are horrible athletically, it's not hard to convince people in these rules to keep you around. "hey laurel i'm horrible just keep me around you can beat me in a final for sure" that doesn't take a genius to figure out she had no other option really politically or in the game than pull the i stink card. Casey was trying to do the same thing and in these rules she probably could have i think it was the ruins. Devyn lucked out that the format made her an asset to everyone who wanted to win a final.
Watching a final elimination puzzle was the least excting thing ever. Exes/Rivals/Rivals2/etc etc all were really exciting battles. It just felt off. I think almost everyone even the winners agreed

Just asking. The first challenge I ever saw was Rivals. So I don't have the in depth knowledge long time fans do.

Where did she say that?

So what she should only come on the challenges if she can win the final challenge? Should that be the case for everyone? If so that's stupid. There's more to this show than that.

I get why they're upset but whatever. I'm not the one that has to compete in the final challenge so It doesn't matter to me.
Zach to me does not seem like the type of guy who would rally back and win a final if he was behind. he seems like he panics way to quickly and if anything goes off what he planned/expected he loses all his focus and freaks out. I feel like he has done this a few times on different seasons so i am not basing that on his 5 min scene wiht Devyn, but it fits his pattern. He has no composure with adversity on these things.

I definitely get that feeling too, however I think if each section is completely separate and timed on its own, he'll be fine. I think it would be harder for him to shake it off if it was one long race rather than the 5 parts.

If he is behind from the part 1 though he still has to gain back time, i can see him yelling at the girls on the 2nd and 3rd legs as well and freaking out. It wouldn't shock me one bit if he does. I was hoping he would be different than what i have pegged him as to be honest, i mean it's been 5 min of a final it's too soon to be judging that, but that's my early final rundown and to this point review of Zach
