[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;424479]Luke while not amazing, was consistently solid this season and should be a bit higher. I'd swap Camila and Emily, as well. No way Cara ranks higher than either girl though.[/QUOTE] Abram, Tyler and Derrick were the male standouts of this challenge so they should be ranked higher than Luke. Bananas and Brad played an amazing political game so they should be higher than Luke. Brandon won a boatload of eliminations where as Luke won a slapping contest, so he should be higher than Luke. As far as the females go, Emily did good throughout the entire challenge, although Camila did really well in the eliminations but she did choke a couple times in some missions (have to rewatch to recall what missions exactly). And Cara did decently throughout the whole thing as well. And I just have her ranked over Camila, not Emily.

Seasons 2: 1-Frank 2-Dustin 3-CJ 4-Zach 5-Alton 6-Derek 7-Chet 8-Trey 9-JD 10-Rob 11-Brandon 12-Knight 13-Preston 14-Wes 15-Danny 16-Easy 1-Sarah 2-Ashley 3-Jonna 4-Camila 5-Nany 6-Marie Honestly, I don't even feel like ranking the rest...bad female cast.

I don't think politics have anything to do with performances in missions/eliminations. Emily was very mediocre (at least compared to how she doez now) that season. Her swimming most notably, where Camila definitely outperformed her, off the top of my head. Cara did well on some missions, but would bomb some others. Camila did consistently the best out of these 3.

Physical eliminations are always harder, especially since Ty was a little bigger than Brandon, Derek and Brandon were the same size, and JD was just a little smaller than Brandon. Emily just did mediocre in ONE mission. Although I do kind of agree on Camila doing a little better than Cara now that I've thought about it a little more. I would switch them around.

I also wouldn't even say Brad played a great political game, his team was just too stupid to take control, specifically Tyler. I am sure there are more examples of how underwhelming Emily was. That was just one I instantly thought of.

And having a good political game also means taking advantage of people and it just so happens that a lot of stupid people come onto these challenges. Brad never went into an elimination despite being mediocre in the missions and he came through when it was time to beast it and win it all.

THis is like the whole "Kenny killed the final so he is obviously great!!!!" fiasco all over again. I'll just agree to disagree.

Cream of the crop on Cutthroat was Laurel, Jenn, and Camila. Jenn/Camila had clean performances all season long, no mess ups whatsoever, while Laurel had one muck-up, but did great everywhere else. Emily was clean but not as clean as Jenn/Camila. Sarah did okay but she had to be sent home to the hospital in the second challenge, final and was the first to get pushed off in riot Act. Tori did one good thing the entire season, otherwise she did nothing except slam diet cokes, harass Camilla and cry or quit in the missions. Paula tanked and did nothing except run in the backyard all day. Paula/Theresa had mirroring performances on Cutthroat actually. Cara Maria was wildly inconsistent. She either sucked or did great, but more often than not she sucked. Red team was a sad, pathetic but lucky bunch. The entire season they put up bad to mediocre performances except those by Camila. They need to thank Brandon and Camila for giving them so many life lines because without those two, that team would've been massacred by the end. They should also thank Ty for being a black male version of Casey.

Rivals 2: Males: 1. CT and Wes - they weren't the best, but they did well in all the mission and killed it in the final 2. Zach and Trey - if it weren't for that DQ i could definitely see them in the final 3. Johnny and Frank - Frank did amazing this season, but I feel that Bananas held them down. 4. Jordan and Marlon 5. Derek and Robb 6. Leroy and Ty 7. Knight and Preston - everyone said that Preston sucked, but he performed better than Knight all season. 8. Dunbar and Tyrie Females: 1. Paula and Emily - don't need explaining 2. Cooke and Cara Maria - Cara Maria dragged her down, but hey it's better than being with Naomi 3. Nany and Jonna - they may not be the strongest and biggest, but they definitely held her weight 4. Camila and Jemmye 5. Aneesa and Diem 6. Theresa and Jasmine 7. Sarah and Trashelle 8. Anastasia and Jessica

Inferno 1- 1. CT 2. Darrell 3. Miz 4. Abram 5. Timmy 6. Syrus 7. Shane 8. Jeremy 9. David 10. Ace ** CT killed it this time around. David was horrible and screwed up just about every single mission yet he made it almost to the end. 1. Holly 2. Christena 3. Kendal 4. Veronica 5. Coral 6. Katie [2 Infernos and several stand out missions even though she was the weakest on her team] 7. Trishelle [probably the best Real World girl next to Coral. 8. Julie [no stand out missions surprisingly] 9. Mallory [only 1 stand out mission , wish we saw her again!] 10. Leah **The Road Rules girls all killed it. Kendal and Veronica were pretty even. Kendal was never nominated for an Inferno [besides when she volunteered for Timmy]. Inferno 2- 1. CT 2. Landon 3. Mike 4. Derrick 5. Abram 6.Darrell 7. Brad 8. Dan 9. Karamo 10. Jon ** Top 6 guys are pretty interchangeable. All had stand out missions, Mike, CT, Derrick and Landon won multiple lifesavers 1. Rachel 2. Veronica 3. Tonya [besides the final] 4. Tina [besides the final] 5. Jamie 6. Beth 7. Julie 8. Robin 9. Jodi 10. Shavonda ** No real standouts... not one girl won a lifesaver on this challenge! Inferno 3 1. Alton 2. Abram 3. Kenny 4.Derrick 5. Johnny 6. Timmy 7. Ace 8. Davis 9. Danny 10. Tyrie 1. Evelyn 2. Susie 3. Paula 4. Tonya 5. Janelle 6. Jenn 7.

Gauntlet 2: 1. Derrick 2. Alton 3. Landon 4. Timmy 5. Brad 6. Mark 7. Jamie 8. Syrus 9. Randy 10. MJ 11. Adam L. 12. Adam K. 13. David 14. Jeremy 15. Ace 16. Danny 1. Kina 2. Ruthie 3. Julie 4. Robin 5. Jodi 6. Aneesa 7. Susie 8. Cara 9. Jillian 10. Montana 11. Katie 12. Beth 13. Jisela 14. Ibis 15. Cameran 16. Jo

I tried to do a Gauntlet 2 one, but making cut-and-dried ranking for that Challenge is hard: Alton Landon Mark Timmy Derrick Jamie Brad Randy MJ David Syrus Adam L Adam K Ace Jeremy Danny -- Jodi Kina Julie Ruthie Susie Jillian Cara Aneesa Beth Robin Montana Ibis Katie Jisela Cameran Jo -- Thoughts?

The Duel: 1. Evan 2. CT 3. Wes 4. Derrick 5. Brad 6. Nehemiah 7. Kenny 8. Tyler 9. Johnny Bananas 10. Big Easy 1. Jodi 2. Aneesa 3. Svetlana 4. Beth 5. Kina 6. Diem 7. Robin 8. Tina 9. Paula 10. Casey

Shauvon (Outside of the top 4 none of them really did anything significant)

Yeah I'm not sure how anyone could see Gauntlet 2 and not put Alton at #1 and then stop the list because no one else came close

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;428175]Yeah I'm not sure how anyone could see Gauntlet 2 and not put Alton at #1 and then stop the list because no one else came close[/QUOTE] I think he killed it on eliminations, but he wasn't always the best on the daily missions.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;428175]Yeah I'm not sure how anyone could see Gauntlet 2 and not put Alton at #1 and then stop the list because no one else came close[/QUOTE] If we were dividing Rookies and Vets, Alton would definitely be at the top of my Rookie list. However, I would put Derrick's performance over Alton's. Alton beat Adam K, Danny, and Jeremy. Not a great group of guys. Derrick took out Adam L, Ace, Syrus, and Brad. Derrick did get beat by Timmy, in large part due to weight, had he gotten any other elimination I think he would've won. Just my personal opinion though, and I respect everyone else's :)

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;428392]Nothing to do with eliminations. Alton single handedly won a few missions pretty much on his own[/QUOTE] Alton was definitely great and one of the top guys, but I don't think he was definitively the top guy there. He and Ibis struggled in Chock Full of Coconuts. He DQ'ed by touching the ground in Team Builders, and then couldn't carry Danny on his back and had to have Landon take him. He also DQ'ed in Spare Tires. Obviously, he had a lot of standout performances as well, but he wasn't flawless.

Maybe I'm not remembering everything that happened but I don't remember Derrick DQing or struggling on any of the challenges. I do remember him getting a lot of praise for Spare Tires because he was carrying five tires and people were impressed because they "were bigger than him".

[QUOTE=TeamLandon;424383]Battle of the Exes: Johnny/Camila Ty/Emly CT/Diem Dunbar/Paula Mark/Robin Abram/Cara Maria Aneesa/Rachel Sarah/Vinny Dustin/Heather Wes/Mandi Tryie/Jasmine Leroy/Naomi Nate/Priscilla[/QUOTE] put Tyrie and Jasmine over Wes and Mandi as they did REALLY good in the honey challenge and tied Wes and Mandi in the second challenge.

Rivals 2 Men: mostly on Mission's 1. Johnny and Frank * 2. CT and Wes 3. Zach and Trey 4. Jordan and Marlon 5. Leroy and Ty 6. Derek and Robb 7. Preston and Knight 8. Tyrie and ********** Dunbar *if I included the finals CT and Wes would have been number 1 but I'm just using it based on Mission and Elimination performance. Girls: 1. Emily and Paula 2. Camila and Jemmye 3. Nany and Jonna* 4. Cooke and Cara Maria* 5. Aneesa and Diem 6. Jasmine and Theresa 7. Trishelle and Sarah 8. Jessica and Anastasia * Very debatable between Cara and Cooke & Nany and Jonna. This is overall mission performance and elimination. not including finals. WHAT DO YOU THINK? :)
