The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 - Informed Speculation (Spoilers)

The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 - Informed Speculation (Spoilers)

Challenge Summer 2014

Likely Teams and Players (due to social media hints, personal sources from those in close contact with cast, etc.)

NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE SO FAR SHOWN ANY SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY AFTER THE CUT-OFF TIME AND DATE

Danny Jamieson/Melinda Stolp (personal sources, Melinda hinted by Emilee)

Dustin Zito/Jessica McCain (personal sources, Jessica hinting on Twitter)

Jay Gotti/Jenna Compono (personal sources, Jenna hinting on Twitter)

Johnny Bananas/Nany Gonzalez (personal sources, Nany hinting at flying on Twitter)

Johnny Reilly/Averey Tressler (personal sources, Averey hinting on Twitter)

Ryan Knight/Jemmye Carroll (personal sources, Jemmye hinted by Emilee)

Thomas Buell/Hailey Chivers (personal sources)

Zach Nichols/Jonna Mannion (personal sources, Zach hinted by Emilee)

Nia Moore (personal sources, heavy hinting on Twitter)

Theresa Gonzalez (personal sources, hinted by Emilee)

Sarah Rice (closed her Etsy shop, usually doesn't except for Challenges)

Jordan Wiseley (personal sources, spotted at airport)

Leroy Garrett (personal sources) Alternates:

Trey Weatherholtz/Laura Waller

Unclear, but Possible

Wes Bergmann - would match up with likely partners, but no one has wished him good bye on social media as they normally do when he departs for a Challenge

Dunbar Merrill - known to have gotten a second call, not active on social media after the departure time, but no further confirmation

Ashli Robson - known to have been asked and speculated to be Dunbar's only possible choice, not active on social media after the departure time, but no further confirmation.

CT Tamburello - known to have received a second call, not active on social media after the departure time, apparently spotted in an airport, but no further confirmation

Diem Brown - reportedly retired from Challenges, but if CT is going, he would probably need a partner. Supposed social media activity, but it doesn't match her typical tweet format. A tweet from Hannah Teter (Johnny Bananas' girlfriend) asked if she was "going". Unlikely but Could Surprise Us

Shauvon Torres - Likely wants to move on from reality TV and cultivate a professional presence, but if CT is going, he would probably need a partner. No confirmation other than speculation to be CT's possible partner. As for personal sources, those are all from people I trust who have direct or nearly direct contact with the cast members themselves and who have proven to be correct in the past.

Rumored to be Asked: Alton Williams (Real World: Las Vegas) Brandon Swift (Real World: St. Thomas) - second call Cory Wharton (Real World: Ex-Plosion) - rumored to not have made final cast due to lack of availables "exes" CT Tamburello (Real World: Paris) Danny Jamieson (Real World: Austin) - second call Darrell Taylor (Road Rules: Campus Crawl) - rumored to not have made final cast. Dunbar Merrill (Real World: Sydney) Dustin Zito (Real World: Las Vegas) - second call Eric Patrick (Real World: New Orleans 2010) Jay Gotti (Real World: Ex-Plosion) - second call Johnny Bananas (Real World: Key West) - second call Johnny Reilly (Real World: Portland) - second call Jordan Wiseley (Real World: Portland) Leroy Garrett (Real World: Las Vegas) - second call Ryan Knight (Real World: New Orleans 2010) - second call Thomas Buell (Real World: Ex-Plosion) - second call Trey Weatherholtz (Real World: St. Thomas) - second call Wes Bergmann (Real World: Austin) - second call, but unsure if he's going Zach Nichols (Real World: San Diego 2011) - second call Ashley Kelsey (Real World: San Diego 2011) Ashli Robson (Real World: Sydney) Averey Tressler (Real World: Portland) - second call Hailey Chivers (Real World: Ex-Plosion) - second call Jamie Larson (Real World: Ex-Plosion) - Hailey was chosen over her.

I've created this new speculation thread for the upcoming Challenge. All I ask is that as a group you try to only post "informed" speculation based on some sort of tangible evidence and that you possibly try to keep that information organized so that if someone jumps into the conversation at a later date they will only have to read the last few pages to get an idea of what has been covered. Youssarian is in charge of the page 1 master list. Thanks ~B

Sorry. I just like to be on point when it comes to speculation. Add Heather to the list of being asked, and apparently Svetlana. Although both will probably say no. PinkRose mentioned Susie got a call too

That would be like a mission impossible to convince her. Rumor is that Susie got a first call, no idea if she told them yes or if she got a second call.

Again, where was this revealed about Cara Maria?

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;425406]Timmy/Susie for Exes 2 would be everything. Svetlana saying yes is a more realistic scenario than that ***********] When did they hook up? I'm guessing either Gauntlet 2 or Inferno 3.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;425406]Timmy/Susie for Exes 2 would be everything. Svetlana saying yes is a more realistic scenario than that ***********] Didn't she hate MTV and wrote a blog about how reality TV screw over her life lol Assuming Susie told them yes, I think she can be one of Cohutta options to be a team with. Timmy is never coming back after the Inferno 3.

June 24, 2014 - 3:20pm

(Reply to #11) #12

Cara Maria wrote that she is done waiting for a call and on an interview she say that it sucks of not having another ex, plus it's shaping to be another exes as of right now.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;425408]Again, where was this revealed about Cara Maria?[/QUOTE] She said on twitter that she wasn't going to wait for the call anymore and she would just enjoy life. That was I think last week.

[QUOTE=nevidcm;425410]When did they hook up? I'm guessing either Gauntlet 2 or Inferno 3.[/QUOTE] They were engaged before the Gauntlet 2, but it was never mentioned on-air.

Lets assume this challenge end being an Exes 2, the only good thing about it is that Cara Maria/Camila are getting a one season break.

Doesn't Timmy have perminant knee damage from the Inferno3 that he physically won't get approved to compete.

Jasmine found herself 2 exes options on this season alone, Swift and Isaac, no way she doesn't get a call. It's Jasmine.

Jasmine with Isaac/swift. but swift most likely would be with latoya unless they really wanted to stretch and did latoya/Brandon because I think it was latoya flirting with Brandon on free agents but not sure if that was just on the aftershow thing or what. most likely latoya/swift and jasmine Isaac but jaz/swift is possible if for whatever reason latoya said no a Jaz/Isaac team has 0 chance at any success I can't think of what they would beat any other team in. Even something endurance or speed based.
