Darrell and Rachel would be a ringer team and everyone complained about Paula/Emily pairing being a ringer, what makes this one ok?
Jordan and Sarah are the only rumored team that could give them a run

2 people in their 30s are a ringer team
Rachel's not unbeatable (ask Kelly Anne...ask Irulan)
Darrell hasn't seen a challenge since Fresh Meat
Jordan and Sarah couldn't give them a run--they'll be one of the first teams out because of Jordan
Johnny & Nany absolutely could...Zach & Jonna probably could as well
I don't think Darrell-Rachel would win...they have pretty much no alliances on this show. They'd be working with Danny & Melinda

You need to have some real competition on the show to make it interesting. What fun is it to have Johnny get great partners every season with very little standing between him and another challenge win? The other teams have to step it up and go the extra mile to prove themselves as worthy competitors rather than whining about how good and strong the competition is. IMO putting Darrell & Rachel on this season is exactly what the doctor order to balance things out with the casting which has become quite repetitive over the last few seasons.
Guys and Gals, I think we are underplaying the lead story, or the plot that mtv will promote. That Darrell wants to reclaim his thrown as the "challenge king" over Bananas. I think just for nostalgia reasons this cast is great just because of Rachel and Darrell.

I couldn't agree more. I also believe simply having Darrell & Rachel as a team on Exes 2 itself will be enough to make up for any other shortcomings within the rest of the cast.
[QUOTE=PinkRose;428205]They are not changing theme this late into casting and 5 weeks before departure. They are probably coming out with the missions/elimination and stuff. By changing the theme they have to do new calls, setup testing,come out with new missions , eliminations, etc. In the case of Rivals 2 they change way before final calls went out, when availabilities calls were still going out.
I think the cast is not bad at all, plus we are missing like one or 2 teams assuming all of the ones we have make the final cut and they are NOT alternates teams. I would do minimal changes to this cast such as replace Theresa with Nia and give Nany someone else.[/QUOTE]
Rose are you sure if they want to put Zach and Jonna as a team? they'd be the team to beat by far. Zach/Ashley or Ashlee would be tough to beat too.
[QUOTE=Lola88;428221]Zach and Jonna would not lol, Jonna would bring him down.
Nany and Johnny may.
But lmao at your delusion of Jordan and Sarah going early.
And 30s aren't old p, Kelly Anne won on A non contact endurance conception based on weight. And what the hell did Irulan do?
Sit down, your input is just as invalid as it was last season during speculation. Bye[/QUOTE]
If Darrell & Rachel see anything that is mental they're screwed
Jordan sucks and is hated by pretty much everyone. Their love of Sarah wouldn't save him. Jordan was truly the worst performer on many missions this year.
Irulan beat Rachel in a wrestling match...how quickly people forget--or you're too young to remember
LOL @ the last comment--it doesn't even make sense but really nothing you said did.

Agreed...can Darrell regain this throne is a great sell. And people old enough to remember Road Rules will be thrilled to see both of them--together.
Let's see what the kids have--can they beat Darrell & Rachel?
Personally, I think they will but I hope I'm wrong
[QUOTE=HeadHancho;428231]Lmao who tf do yall think Darrell is? He's not that good. And why is he even being mentioned he's not on this season.[/QUOTE]
1. LOL @ Darrell being "not that good"...dumbest thing I've heard in a very long time.
2. There are rumors about both him and Rachel being on this season--hence the discussion. We know Rachel was contacted. It is hard to find info on Darrell.
3. Hell, if you take one second and go to the first page you'd see both were contacted--is that too difficult for you?

I don't think mental games would be D&R's problem. The "Crunch" game Darrell played against Cohutta was just as mental as it was physical and Darrell killed that one. I think the one area that could possibly give them trouble is puzzles.

Crunch wasn't mental. Darrell's in elite shape. Cohutta's not
[QUOTE=kvm1977;428234]Crunch wasn't mental. Darrell's in elite shape. Cohutta's not[/QUOTE]
It was to an extent since they both had their heads pretty close to going underwater while having to deal with weights on their chests. I think being that close to getting submerged underwater like that would make many people freak out or lose it mentally.

That's still not a mental elimination round
Using this logic everything would be mental

I hope you are wrong too, I want Darrell to tie Johnny's record on most winnings

I would love to see Darrell and Rachel back. As for the new kids beating them, it depends on who/what situation. Looking at their twitters, both are still VERY much into fitness, looks like Darrell does crossfit. I don't see any females that could give Rachel a run for her money on this Exes 2 speculated cast. (Laurel, Evelyn, Cara Maria, Emily S are ones I believe deff would) would love to see Bananas vs Darrell. However, the challenges have changed ALOT over the years and are much more extensive so if they do it, I hope they've been watching current seasons to see what they're up against. I've always wanted old school vs new school, but usually only get one (if that) old school team and they automatically have a target on their back because of no alliances....but I can see ratings improving if they can keep Darrell and Rachel on, putting old vs new.
[QUOTE=HeadHancho;428239]LOL@ You... And just like I said he's not that good... Bananas and Zach are easily better in Just about everything than him.[/QUOTE]
Zach? LOL
And, wow, two came up with 2 people...one of which is wrong
[QUOTE=stuufman;428240]I hope you are wrong too, I want Darrell to tie Johnny's record on most winnings[/QUOTE]
Look on their social media, Darrell and Rachel are still in amazing shape. Darrell seems to be in better shape then when we last saw him. Darrell still does boxing, Crossfit, etc...Rachel runs Barry's BootCamp. She looks leaner, but still looks fantastic.

I mean, if they have Danny/Melinda, Rachel/Darrell and one other pair (Wes or Dunbar/KellyAnne?) they can create that "old school" vs. New School thing with Bananas being in the middle since he's still doing every challenge and is a part of both. I think having a couple old school teams along with this team gives them even more opportunities for promotion. I still wish the could somehow get Susie with anyone
[QUOTE=HeadHancho;428266]CJ's smart he got low and he's much smaller than Darrell also so he could probably get lower Then him, but Darrell wouldn't be able to get as low as CJ did and that would end up with him getting his head ring into the bell like Easy did Wes.[/QUOTE]
To get you back on track
Darrell & Rachel are being mentioned because they are both possibilities and, if they appear, there's a good chance they are paired together
Darrell is still better than most of the people to ever appear on this show.
[QUOTE=HeadHancho;428262]Faster? No. more agile? Maybe. But be honest if it's physical Zach would win, mental Zach would win, Endurance could go either way.
Zach does crossfit also, so his endurance is just as good.[/QUOTE]
Zach is average at best, he has done nothing impressive, and he doesn't have endurance the only proof you need is the free agents final, he already did crossfit before going to free agents and even before going to rivals 2
I know he's better than most that's why I only named Bananas and Zach, and I know he speculated but I doubt he'll be on my sources haven't mentioned quite often so I doubt it. But, I could be wrong.
[QUOTE=PinkRose;428280]I just heard Darrell is going to be in Sacramento where he lives all month of August...So that should answer the question if he is on this or not ;)[/QUOTE]
Yep, that ends the Darrell speculation/hope
[QUOTE=PinkRose;428280]I just heard Darrell is going to be in Sacramento where he lives all month of August...So that should answer the question if he is on this or not ;)[/QUOTE]
And if Jenn said no that leaves nobody left for Rachel.
PR- is that because production didn't choose him? He seems more than eager to one according to his twitter...they just keep making more bad casting decisions and wonder why they don't get the ratings they want, smh.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;428255]Beth won't do Exes--her husband is a p****
Nothing much on the others. I don't think Casey is willing to do Exes either
Cameran-Brad would be interesting--wonder if Tori would allow that. She's a b**** after all (ask Bananas, Frank R & Aneesa for starters)[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure Cameran and Tori are good friends, so I doubt she'd care. Not that it'll happen, but still.
Ugh, guys I wish they brought Road Rules back after all this talk, but that's for another thread...
