I guess I am going to accept this is Exes 2 but I think they are making a mistake but what is looking to be the cast so far? Bananas/Nany Jonna/Zach Leroy/Theresa Trey/Laura Marie/Robb Danny/Melinda Jay/Jenna Hailey/Tom

[QUOTE=gamer73;428309]Dustin/Jessica[/QUOTE] Probably Swift/Jasmine and Jordan/Sarah too.
I know, total BS. ONe of those Challenges where it pays to sleep with people every Challenge
Another reminder... This thread is NOT for discussing who's better than who. It is for informed speculation ONLY.
Jasmine needs to stop doing challenges.
[QUOTE=Karisa502;428317]I know, total BS. ONe of those Challenges where it pays to sleep with people every Challenge[/QUOTE] I agree, but it's not all BMP's fault, there are some awesome people that have declined. I admire them for declining, but if it was for me I'll probably do every challenge.
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;428321]Jasmine needs to stop doing challenges.[/QUOTE] BMP, listen. I liked her on the first challenge, but now it's too much, she is trying way too hard.
[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;428307]If they drop Bananas it won't be that bad (no where near great though), it means we have a chance for new finalists and potentially a chance for new winners.[/QUOTE] CT/Nany is the way to go BMP ;)
[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] This might be an all-time worst post. He's top 3 male competitor all-time, and arguably better than Johhny Bananas. He did more in less time, and with hardly any alliances along the way. He just feasted and beasted.

His goal was basically to float through until the end since distance running was his strength. He's not particularly great at heights and he's an ok swimmer. I think Darrell is great but I can't point to any season where he was the best male competitor. Possibly the Ruins, but that team was so stacked that he didn't even really have to try and I'd give Evan the nod over him. But you still have to take your hat off to him, because he is like Johnny...he's not the best at anything, but he's well above average at everything.

[QUOTE=mickeyflo24;428334]what about when he won Fresh Meat 1 with Aviv?[/QUOTE] I was just about to say that, they slayed that season. Also, you gotta play a laid back game when you don't have alliances bedded throughout the house. I also hate we can't see him again next season.
[QUOTE=mickeyflo24;428334]what about when he won Fresh Meat 1 with Aviv?[/QUOTE] Darrell and Aviv only won 2 challenges that season (of 15), and were middle of the pack in the beginning. I definitely think that Evan and Theo outperformed him, and possibly Wes (which I hate saying). He did great in the exile against Derrick, and killed the final, but it helped a lot that Aviv smashed those puzzles. He did a good job overall...I just think that if you told me to point to the best guy on Fresh Meat, it wouldn't be Darrell. I also don't want to come off like I'm bashing Darrell...he's one of my favorite guys on the show. Just trying to be objective.

He even said himself on Inferno II that he wasn't that great at the daily challenges. I would like to see him compete in one of the marathon finals they have now. The closest thing to those finals he ever competed in was the Fresh Meat final and that was a walk in the park compared to what they are like now. I don't think I would even place him in my top 5 at this point without seeing how he would handle a final like Rivals I or Exes.
Did darrell get a call for Rivals 1? If so did he decline?
If this is the speculated cast Bananas/Nany Jonna/Zach Leroy/Theresa Trey/Laura Marie/Robb Danny/Melinda Jay/Jenna Hailey/Tom Then I see the house being split between Bananas/Nany, Leroy/Theresa, Zach/Jonna vs St.Thomas kids + rookies and Danny/Melinda will probably choose the side that benefits them the most.
Yeah, Darrell's no doubt an awesome competitor and his wins attest to that. With that said, I think everybody way overrates how he actually performed in the challenges. He was never the best player on any challenge he competed in IMO. Theo and Adam outperformed him on The Gauntlet, Miz and Landon on Inferno 2, and Theo and Evan on FM. And for the first two, those are just the people on his team. The RR Inferno guys were pretty even (excluding Jeremy and Shane). Now, this is all just from my memory though but Darrell never stood out to me. Great competitor, no doubt, but I think he's overrated by fans. EDIT: Also, sorry definitely thought this was the generic thread...
Is Susie possibly going to be on this next challenge?
I know this is off topic, but are you guys sure that Cory/Jenny/Brian aren't gonna be on the next challenge? I mean wouldn't it be sorta dumb not to have them on there?
[QUOTE=IfutureCEO;428361]I know this is off topic, but are you guys sure that Cory/Jenny/Brian aren't gonna be on the next challenge? I mean wouldn't it be sorta dumb not to have them on there?[/QUOTE] Cory favorited a tweet I made yesterday about it being a big fricken mistake not having him. I can see Jenny saying no. Kinda surprised Brian did. I would have thought Lo would say yes so Cory can go. She is excited for him to visit in July so they are not on bad terms.

I really would have liked to see Cory and Brian on this challenge especially Cory, cause i would have liked to see someone that was enthusiastic about the challenge. I like Leroy but he just seems like he doesn't give a **** anymore. Cory seems like he has a lot to prove i can see him creating good drama, and i don't think he will be throwing missions and kissing some of the vets *****.

[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] Beth is in discussions with BRAVO about a show there and thus is not MTV eligible. Cameran is also under contract to BRAVO for season 2 of Southern Charm where she essentially plays the narrator. Casey just moved back to Texas from SoCal, and is reestablishing her life there. As a close personal friend of both Tori and Beth's husband, I take offense at your comments. Why is it necessary that you be a ****? You have an education and a good career. You are one of the key reasons why I find it unpleasant to come to vevmo.

Was that before she was in talks with Bravo?
[QUOTE=IfutureCEO;428361]I know this is off topic, but are you guys sure that Cory/Jenny/Brian aren't gonna be on the next challenge? I mean wouldn't it be sorta dumb not to have them on there?[/QUOTE] It is quite ridiculous. Cory is out of luck. But BMP chose not to use Brian and Jenny. Supports my theory that the producers don't like him (i.e the editing he received in the final episodes of RW). Everyone(minus Ash and Ari) from Explosion got availability calls. Lo and Ashley said no. The rest said yes. Because Lo and Ashley declined, that only left Jenny for Cory. So instead of calling back Brian, they decided to go with Jenny and Cory because he's clearly their favorite from that season. But out of respect for Brian, Jenny declined. And yes, they all knew it's gonna be exes. So instead of just calling back Brian and Jenny once she declined being paired with Cory, they scratched them all together and went with Tom and Hailey. BMP sucks... I wouldn't be surprised if Brian's never called for a challenge again. And I can't tell you how I know this..
Why don't the producers like Brian? I thought they would love him for a challenge. That sucks for Cory that he can't be on this challenge. I really wanted to see him on it.
If it's unpleasant so come back to Vevmo, I don't understand why people continue to read even after "retiring" from the site.. Give me a break. Anyways, the way the teams are looking to shape up, I'd say Johnny and Nany (kind of have a difficult time believing this as being a pairing but we will see), Leroy and Theresa, and Zach and Jonna being the top teams. Leroy and Theresa are good athletes but I can see them getting defeated somewhere along the way. I'd put Theresa as one of the top girls but Leroy I see taking a loss from a couple guys. Robb and Marie could be a dark horse team like on Seasons. I would enjoy seeing Trey and Laura do well, I personally like them both and I don't think we saw Laura's best on Seasons.
