The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=Debut Album;425021]Okay so say if New vs Old happens and New comes out on top is that really gonna make older fans like the newer faces? and who's to say those fans all value competition like you(and others on here) do? I don't think you can really say that.[/QUOTE] Exactly. **** all that accepting/earning bull****.

IF old v new happens, I can definitely see new winning if they don't get the right old cast. have Kenny (not gonna happen but... lets just say for this sake), derrick (again, not going to happen), abe, Darrell, brad, Jodi, Rachel,(insert other strong girls here), Susie.. and old will definitely win, but considering most of the stronger older cast doesn't want to do it anymore, I do think new will win

[QUOTE=mph922;425182][B]I'd argue that the original point of this show was for viewers to watch some of their favorite RW and RR cast members interact with members of other seasons, with some friendly (and some not-so-friendly) competition mixed in. I really don't think the show was intended to be some great competition. I mean, they used to run around in chicken suits and eat ice cream...[/B] I think if anything, the competitive nature of the challenges now are what has changed the tone and has contributed to some of the low ratings. Everybody takes themselves and the game so seriously these days. And I still enjoy them and enjoy the competitive-ness. I just don't think the intention of this show was to watch a bunch "athletes" duke it out. Almost all of the most popular cast members from the challenges aren't popular because they're good competitors. They're popular because of something else that they added to the show.[/QUOTE] Yes. That Exactly was the point of this show in a nutshell. This show was to see RW and RR castmembers interact with each other. Not some big difficult competition. It only got that way in the later years(for whatever reason). and I think you got something about the serious tone was the reason some people tuned away from this show. it's no longer fun to watch and there's hardly any lightness to it now.

How is BMP supposed to do Old vs New when a lot of older castmembers don't want to do it? I mean they have people that want to return like Mark and Beth but I don't think they can get a full team of older castmembers.

If cast members left, they left having a good time. Rarely did we see people quit. ask any old schooler who have been on a newer challenges (bananas, mark)and they will tell you that they're favourite moments are from the older ones. I remember brad saying that one of his favourite moments was chilling on the roof in (insert challenge here) with his cast

Getting enough old school girls would be hard. Johnny Mark Cohutta Abram Wes Danny Darrell Maybe Brad Nehemiah Steven Dan (VR) Maybe Derrick Tyler Issac Tyrie Dunbar Trashelle Aneesa KellyAnne Maybe Jenn Arissa Melinda Ruthie Maybe Robin but shes pregnant so she wouldn't Beth Maybe Susie Maybe Tori if Brad's there Rachel if time is right.

Casey said she would return?

Robin wrote the following on twitter this weekend "Look like my scheduled will be clearing up @MTV @BunimMurray ..... Just in case your list needs an old lady :) lol." Shes crazy...they aren't calling her. And I still don't believe shes pregnant, she used that as a comeback when Nia was talking smack to her.

It would be kinda cool to have Robin and Dan as an Exes team

It is so weird to me that Robin used to be normal back in the day and was a big character on the shows and now she is just insane. All she does in cry the whole time she is there and then gets eliminated. I hope we don't see her back.

Can we get an update going? [B]Challenge Summer 2014[/B] [U]Rumored to be Asked:[/U] Danny Jamieson (Real World: Austin) Melinda Stolp (Real World: Austin) [U]Rumored to not be asked:[/U] Cara Maria Sorbello (Fresh Meat 2) Mark Long (Road Rules: First Adventure) Let me know if you know for sure that someone was asked so we can be accurate.

I believe it was PR (I may be wrong though) who said all but 2 Ex-Plosion cast members were asked which I assume meant Arielle and Ashley C, as they have no interest in doing challenges, or at least Arielle doesn't.

I love the time before the challenge begins filming when we try looking for clues and figuring out what the cast looks like.

If they want st Thomas and the explosion cast, that is all hookups/past relationships so that's pretty telling. Swift/latoya robb/marie trey/laura all of explosion obviously also danny/Melinda as someone above mentioned Dustin and (heather) or subs of Jess/Emilee they prob would pick jess though hopefully its a different format/rules if same theme though. Some are only first calls that means little

It would keep teams balanced, and would make working with your ex a bit more tense because in the end, only one of you can win. That would be a great twist IMO!

Why say that to Nia and posted a positive pregnancy test? She is not okay.

If there is an Exes 2 I just wanna see a double elimination on the second to last mission. The last place [B][U]automatically[/U][/B] goes home! They have never done that before and I would love to see it. It could change those last 2 eliminations around. The players would be shocked too!

As long as this girl on the next challenge, I don't care who else they cast. They only need to have Nia living with her: [ATTACH]5505[/ATTACH] ANyways, for those Emily fans you can vote for her: [url=http://thenextfitnessstar.com/vote.php]The Next Fitness Star[/url] [ATTACH]5506[/ATTACH]

Averey! OMG!

Something like Logged Together. Then second to last place team goes in The Dome.

Then once you get all your puzzle pieces, climb up the stair case you made & ring a bell

Averey is so hot she needs to be on it

I just want a mission that doesn't cater to someone strenghts only.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;425340]Averey is so hot she needs to be on it[/QUOTE] If Averey is not in the next challenge I'm gonna be pissed. Not only is she hot as hell, but she has a great personality. Averey vs. Nia round 2 (BMP make it happen).

For everyone's sanity, let's try to keep the new speculation thread as clutter-free as possible. Leave the baseless speculation/banter in here.
