The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=kollanekoer;430277]But the fight wasn't worth fighting for?? Am I missing something?? I wouldn't surprised if even Derrick was like wtf[/QUOTE] Jenn just defended Derrick's wife. That's the role Jenn will play in a fight between the two. I don't think Jenn's actions are a big deal I do think Derrick's wife is nuts

Derrick's wife sounds like she should be on the RW or even BGC. I mean throwing a stool at someone? She's very lucky Cara isn't aggressive, then again that's probably why she did that to Cara.

I can't even imagine if that was Nia lol

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;430287]I can't even imagine if that was Nia lol[/QUOTE] Let's just say that if she did that to Nia, Derrick would be a widower.

Random Note: I miss opening themes that featured all the cast...Rachel B**** slapping CT in the inferno 2 opening is one of my favorite moments...also I miss her long hair: [video=youtube;JeXxiz28mLI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeXxiz28mLI[/video]

The ones for both Rivals and Free Agents have been a mess.

I liked Duel II opening(unpopular opinion) and from the latest ones, BOTS2 is okay

I liked on Cuthroat how they eliminated people form the theme as they were eliminated...i thought that was clever!

[QUOTE=kollanekoer;430301]I liked Duel II opening(unpopular opinion) and from the latest ones, BOTS2 is okay[/QUOTE] I liked the Duel 2 opening, I never understood the hate. My favorite definitely has to be the Gauntlet. Everything about it was perfect.

[QUOTE=nevidcm;430306]I liked the Duel 2 opening, I never understood the hate. My favorite definitely has to be the Gauntlet. Everything about it was perfect.[/QUOTE] The Duel 2 opening must have been so awkward to film.

My favorite intro was Inferno 2.

The Ruins opening was the by far the best for me. It's currently my ringtone and I dance to it every single time.

Battle of the Sexes 1 will always be one of the best Intros for me. Others I like were Battle of the Seasons 2, The Gauntlet 1 and 2, The Inferno 1 and 2 and Cutthroat.

Inferno 2 had the GOAT intro

My favs are a tie between the original Battle of the Sexes, Gauntlet 1, and Inferno 2. Although the openings of Ruins and Cutthroat were cool.

Also another random question: Anyone know if iTunes will ever release the other challenge seasons? It has Gauntlet 2 & 3, Duel 1 & 2, The Island, Battle of the Seasons 2, Exes, Cutthroat, Ruins, Rivals 1 & 2, Free Agents, and Fresh Meat 2. I'd love own the Battle of the Sexes 1 & 2, Gauntlet 1, All three Infernos, Seasons 1, & Fresh Meat 1...anyone know why they did random old seasons and not the other ones? I actually get into watching the old seasons a lot, even though I know the outcome, I love seeing the old cast members and I still root for my favs even when they go home early.

I been watching the older challenges and i really wish Johanna,Casey,Tonya,Tina,Veronica,Ryan,Davis,Darrell,Coral, All of them would comeback!!

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;429050]I'm confused: How did Lala know during the Battle of the Sexes 2 reunion show that Inferno 2 was the next challenge? Wasn't the reunion filmed like in January 2005"? Also, the Reuinion aired in February 05 so how did she know who was going and not going?[/QUOTE] challenges back then were back to back. There was like a 3 month gap between filming challenges. So when they film the reunion, the cast is already finalized and are departing soon.

****, the Battle of the Sexes 2 intro was awesome...I forgot about that one, it was really well done! [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7YYMBZ5ld0"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7YYMBZ5ld0[/URL]

I was reading some comments/tweets and there were lot of people saying that some of the cast(Laurel and Bananas) were using doping. And lot of other were banned from the show because if that Is it even possible? Or they do not care enough? Or MTV have then tested before and after the show? Or this is just some angry fans/viewers opinion.

You can't just single out the winners of the most recent season. If the Challenge has any sort of drug testing program, they certainly aren't being open about it because they've never announced a failed drug test or even that they conduct them. Just like with professional sports there's a vested interest for the producers not to catch the cheaters (so that they can do more impressive physical challenges every season). When players get overly angry or have meltdowns or fights, is it just the alcohol or is it combination of that and steroids (roid rage)?

Emily Schromm is one of the 5 finalists for women's health magazine's next fitness star. You can vote for her here: [url=http://thenextfitnessstar.com/vote.php]The Next Fitness Star[/url]

I wonder if this may be the reason why some if the cast are mysteriously banned :D

I don't know why but I never liked the Inferno intro.

[QUOTE=nevidcm;430617]I don't know why but I never liked the Inferno intro.[/QUOTE] The original Inferno wasn't my fav, it was okay, better then the ones we get now, but the Inferno 2 was great..mainly for Rachel ***** slapping CT :P

[QUOTE=Psy4potato;430627]The original Inferno wasn't my fav, it was okay, better then the ones we get now, but the Inferno 2 was great..mainly for Rachel ***** slapping CT :P[/QUOTE] The Inferno II was so simple, yet it was amazing, one of my favorites.

Danny from RR Xtreme is the first person I think of when the topic of PED usage comes up. He had the obvious roid rage on Gauntlet 2 and on that season he also had a bloated roid gut. Evan also had a bloated gut on The Ruins and Rivals but that might just be because he's fat.

If I had to take a wild guess, I would say that Johnny, Evan, Wes, Dunbar, Ty, Leroy, Robb, Vinny, Miz and perhaps CT have all used steroids or some other PED in the past. Also Emily Bananas and Wes are the most obvious in terms of gaining and losing weight rapidly within one season respectively. I'm sure CT has used in the past, but honestly, his gains have been consistent over the years since Paris. He didn't get "big overnight". In fact, he clearly bulked multiple times (almost to the point of being fat) aka Inferno II, Duel II, Exes, Free Agents. I know some of the trainers he has worked with as co-workers over the years, and although he's a loose cannon he actually has an unreal dedication to his regime (workout and diet). He also has trunks for legs which is usually not something that happens when you're taking AAS, as the upper body grows rapidly faster. My question is what do you guys think Production/The Challenge's position on weed on these challenges. I know that Wes brought in on there a couple times, and CT/Knight looked like they blazed a couple times during Rivals II. ****, I even remember CT lighting a blunt in a bar at Exes
