The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=kollanekoer;430903]Does anyone likes Trishelle? I can not stand her at all!! Ughh and why rivals II wasn't Dustin and Frank? It really annoys me that they put JB and Frank together :/[/QUOTE] I think most people love to hate her, at least I do.

I like Trishelle. She's entertaining.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;430883]Bull****. Several of them have qualities that can carry the show. The four you mentioned(I fee like Robb could be entertaining given the right circumstance) And in addition to those Jordan, Devyn, Marie, Dustin, Leroy, Jonna, Trey, Emily(DC), Nany, Johnny(Portland) Latoya, Nia, Knight. And there are people who I think could be entertaining given the right circumstances like Laura, Nate, Sarah(Brooklyn) Emilee(Cancun) Ayiiia, Swift. And **** people who may not have even done a challenge yet that I think could bring something to the show like Cory, Jenny, Brian, Thomas, Jay, Ashley M, Andrew, Ashley(DC) Ryan(New Orleans 2) Scott, Avery, Ashlee(New Orleans 2). So I fully believe that the new kids have shown that they can carry the show.[/QUOTE] "Deja vu-doo" as I think we had discussed this before, lol..."same dialogue and everything"

[QUOTE=JayTee;430873]Only Frank and Zach have displayed qualities of carrying the show even though they're rookies. You expect Jemmye to carry a show? Or Robb?[/QUOTE] LOL at this?

[QUOTE=kollanekoer;430903] and why rivals II wasn't Dustin and Frank? It really annoys me that they put JB and Frank together :/[/QUOTE] Dustin was filming Couples Therapy within that time range. He wouldn't be allowed to do that and a Challenge within a 12-month period due to contract exclusivity issues. Otherwise, that would be a very good rivals pairing. Any 2 of Wes, Bananas, and CT along with Zito & Frank, Marlon & Jordan, Zach & Trey, etc. As for newbies who can carry a show, on the guys' side, I would add Jordan and maybe Leroy & Reilly to Zach & Frank. However, as I said in another thread, the guys are very weak from Denver until Las Vegas II. There are very few elite athletes other than CJ from Cancun, and all of the interesting people are poor athletes and/or not interested in competing (Crazy Ryan, Knight, Andrew from DC, Isaac, Greg the Pretty Boi, Joey Kovar RIP, Mike Mike, Joey Rozmus, and the kid from Brooklyn who fought in Iraq). On the girls' side, we've been lucky enough to have some very solid competitors post Fresh Meat II (Emily, Cooke, Nany).

Does anyone know why certain people didn't do certain challenges? Like for instance, Paula did 5 challenges in a row then when The Ruins came around she wasn't on it. Was she contacted and said no or did they not call her at all? Or like Sarah on Free Agents, she did 7 challenges in a row and wasn't on Free Agents. Did production even contact her or did she decline? I mean did BMP really think that Shauvon or Casey would be a better options for the Ruins than someone like Jenn or Paula?

I don't know the answer for every case, but I know that Sarah said she was going to school during the filming of Free Agents. I think there were at least a couple of others who did the same thing.

Abram Boise: “Darrell bribing the cops for me in Mexico [during The Inferno]… or waking up in the lighthouse with two local Mexican girls, a new haircut that I don’t know how I got, a skeleton painted on my face, one shoe, and no money or any idea how to get back to the house… and that was just one night of one weekend—there was even better stuff every day off, like the stolen golf carts off-roading, the swim-up bar tab under a fake name, Katie drunkenly drowning in the pool and Miz carrying her over his shoulder—the whole first Inferno was tops for off-camera stories. [There are] too many to choose from.” this is why the old school cast members constantly praise the older challenges....sounds so much fun and there was so much freedom!

That could never happen on challenges now.

Youssarian, can you send me the list as well? Thanks.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;430883]Bull****. Several of them have qualities that can carry the show.

Youss, tried sending you a PM but didn't work out. Mind sending me that PM as well, please?

[QUOTE=JayTee;430967]The day people like Nate, Trey, Devyn, Emilee, etc... "carry" the show is the day The Challenge ends.[/QUOTE] There were people in the "old Challenges" who couldn't carry a show either... God forbid Jamie, Shavonda, Karamo, or Julie carry the Inferno 2.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;430975]There were people in the "old Challenges" who couldn't carry a show either... God forbid Jamie, Shavonda, Karamo, or Julie carry the Inferno 2.[/QUOTE] So you're comparing Jamie and Julie to rookies like Jemmye and Latoya? And Karamo and Shavonda were forgettable imo.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;430975]There were people in the "old Challenges" who couldn't carry a show either... God forbid Jamie, Shavonda, Karamo, or Julie carry the Inferno 2.[/QUOTE] Julie was crazy enough to be a legit part of the show...she's also a decent/good competitor. Jamie, Shavonda nor Karamo were ever mentioned by anyone as people that could as Devyn & Trey were above

[QUOTE=kvm1977;430981]Julie was crazy enough to be a legit part of the show...she's also a decent/good competitor. Jamie, Shavonda nor Karamo were ever mentioned by anyone as people that could as Devyn & Trey were above[/QUOTE] He was just looking for a way to disagree with me lol

I have a question. So Frank quit. How many people are publicy quit but did come back after some time,

[QUOTE=kollanekoer;430983]I have a question. So Frank quit. How many people are publicy quit but did come back after some time,[/QUOTE] I mean, Jasmine quit and showed up on the very next challenge Mark quit and came back Katie & Derrick both said they were done after The Ruins and came back for Cutthroat. I mean, no one is every done until the show ends. Well, Timmy is because he can't compete.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;430950]I have a running list of who was contacted for what Challenges and for whatever reason (declined, dropped out, etc.) didn't make it on... obviously it's not complete, but I can PM it to you. :)[/QUOTE] Would you send me the list please?

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;430994]Jodi quit and never came back.[/QUOTE] So did some others but the key word is "yet" More often than not it means nothing

[QUOTE=Debut Album;430915]I like Trishelle. She's entertaining.[/QUOTE] I like the fact that she admitted she faked being sick because she just didn't feel like doing the challenge, lol. She gives no ****s.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;430981][B]Julie was crazy enough to be a legit part of the show...she's also a decent/good competitor.[/B] Jamie, Shavonda nor Karamo were ever mentioned by anyone as people that could as Devyn & Trey were above[/QUOTE] She sure was. Julie was halarious, Exciting and entertaining. Now she's someone I would love to see back on these shows.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;430858]I agree with all of this except the part about the new kids not being engaging. I think the new kids are very engaging and can absolutely carry this show. Nobody else seems to think so so I guess I'm alone on this. And For Ex-plosion I want to see Brian, Cory, Jenny, Jay, Thomas and Ashley M.[/QUOTE] I think the new kids are engaging, I love the Portland Cast, Devyn is hilarious, I just would like to see a mix of old and new. Not everyone will like both generations, but I think it's important to still bring back some of the older cast members, whether its a Rachel, Veronica type that were on a lot or someone like Mallory & Ace who have expressed interested and only did one before. [QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;430880]It doesn't have to be CT and Bananas every time though, that is what drives me nuts about this whole thing. There are plenty of other challengers from that same era (Mark, Darrell, Rachel, Brad, etc.) that still have interest in coming back for more challenges but aren't being given the chance to do it. There are others that can keep that era of the show alive, not just those two. Too bad the people in charge can't figure that out.[/QUOTE] Thats what bugs me, is switch it up. I don't mind CT and Johnny but I'd rather not see them every challenge, and wouldn't mind having Rachel and Brad instead. [QUOTE=kollanekoer;430903]Does anyone likes Trishelle? I can not stand her at all!! Ughh and why rivals II wasn't Dustin and Frank? It really annoys me that they put JB and Frank together :/[/QUOTE] I like Trishelle a lot...I was sad when V1man said she was done after Rivals 2...but then there was speculation she might be on this next one, so is she now back in the running? [QUOTE=Desertpuma;430994]Jodi quit and never came back.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the reminder :( I loved my X-Treme girls...
