[QUOTE=toenails;436998]Nia was by far the most vile person on their RW season that I have ever seen.[/QUOTE] Ohhhhhh I love Nia! She's my all time fave. I'm obsessed with her! :love_heart:
[QUOTE=PinkRose;437005]Maybe because she didn't got a second call as of last week ;) MTV realized that her spot on a challenge as a wallpaper pretty much is already occupied by Melinda/Laura/Jenna. [/QUOTE] Melinda isn't wallpaper. And I guarantee MTV doesn't think that or they wouldn't ask her back for her 5th challenge. Her and Danny's relationship will be a huge market point for this season ala CT/Diem last time. One of the most well known couples in history.
Ace is awesome. Is mallory the hot soccer player from Paris?
Are there any rumors as to the location for this upcoming challenge? With [B]departure potentially only a couple weeks away[/B] would the cast at this point be made aware of their destination??
[QUOTE=Emotional;437033]Ace is awesome.

[QUOTE=Emotional;437021]I saw Ace and Mallory being mentioned earlier. Are they speculated to be on the next challenge?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Youssarian;437022]Nope, just wishful thinking.[/QUOTE] Youssarian's correct. Just wishful thinking on my part. But what I'd give to see Mallory's beautiful self whoop these younger girls' *****!
[QUOTE=v123;436988]...and you're making this call based off of...one challenge? I don't see how you can say that someone is "average at best" when they were on one season where practically nobody stood out, performance wise. Nobody is saying that she's amazing but if anything Marie was one of the few girls on that season who actually did do some potential Don't Cross Me: Weak performance, had a hard time climbing. Oil Change: Beat Cara Maria in about three seconds and went at it with Camila for a long time from what I've heard. Logged Out: obviously due to the way the teams were structured, she was one of the only girls that had to do the course twice. For most of the girls and even a lot of the men(Alton stated this), doing the course only once was already incredibly taxing, Marie had to do 2x the work they did. Hunger Games: Eating isn't really relevant to competitive ability, but she did get her team through the semis based on eating chilis. Abandon Ship: someone can correct me on this but didn't she get the deepest booey? Force Field: got second, and was put out after going up against two girls. and then of course she went into a couple of domes. So yeah, compare that performance to that of Ashley K(someone that people seem to think is amazing), Trishelle, Nany, Jonna, Devyn, and the other girls and I would say that she had one of the stand out performances for the females of the season especially for someone that came fresh off of her season where her only workouts considered of lifting a bottle of jack in the right hand and a cigarette in the left. She's scrappy and bigger than most girls and she obviously has a lot of drive to stay in the game. That will get you a long way. Endurance, upper body strength, etc. can be trained but aggression and that killers instinct is one of those things that you either have or don't have and when you do have it, + size, you are a threat to a lot of girls because a lot of them aren't too keen on engaging in physical contact.[/QUOTE] No one that has only done 1 challenge can be considered for a top anything list of all time.
[QUOTE=kybaws;437038]Are there any rumors as to the location for this upcoming challenge? With [B]departure potentially only a couple weeks away[/B] would the cast at this point be made aware of their destination??[/QUOTE] Last time, we had a good idea of the cast around the same time, but we didn't know anything about where they were headed until the day before they flew out. V1Man made some cryptic comments about TJ boarding a flight from Dallas (the day before the cast left), and some of us started looking for trips that would take 8-10 hours from Dallas. I was convinced they were going to be in Peru, I think. So close, lol.
Does anyone remember how the ratings for the Inferno 3 were ? Is there any way to check out how the ratings were for older seasons ?
[QUOTE=DarkFights;437045]Does anyone remember how the ratings for the Inferno 3 were ?

[QUOTE=PinkRose;437014]She makes a lot of money with only 2,387 suscriber and her most watched video have 6k -.- she is lying...[/QUOTE] Even if she was a partner for literally everyone single one of her YouTube videos, she'd have made about $1.88 for her videos. Yes, that's one dollar and eighty-eight cents IN TOTAL
Jenny is just like every other "model/actress"... Every moderately attractive girl thinks they are gonna make it these days.

She hasn't added alot to these challenges when you think about it. They bring back many people who are considered wallpaper. The Fresh Meat 2 people that have returned(sans Laurel and Cara Maria) for Instance.
She's funny, but she's "reality show" funny. Nobody will take her serious as an actor and as a model...personally I do think she's pretty but is she really the type the model big leagues look for? No offense to her all, I think she looks healthy but you know the industry likes them sickly skinny. She should just do a challenge and stop making excuses....just saying. She's great for real worlds/ possibly challenges but deff not for what she wants.

[QUOTE=JayTee;437043]No one that has only done 1 challenge can be considered for a top anything list of all time.[/QUOTE] CT, Landon, Wes, and Cooke all did enough on their first seasons to merit consideration, in my opinion.

Poor her that those dreams aren't being a challenge ***** and stuck with an MTV title.. she's still young, has a lot of time to make her dreams come true. Why settle for the challenges when that's just a dead end? Especially if she's never been all that passionate about doing one anyway.

I wouldn't necessarily call the Challenges a "dead end". If you're trying to be Beyonce-level famous then yes they might be a dead end, but if you're not trying to be a celebrity then the Challenges are just nice little vacations.
[QUOTE=KIsOpenDoors;437076]CT, Landon, Wes, and Cooke all did enough on their first seasons to merit consideration, in my opinion.[/QUOTE] No they didn't. CT did a lot on Inferno but in no way should he be in a top 20 best challenge males of all time due to that ONE performance. Same goes with Wes and Landon. It could have all just been luck due to the format, alliances, luck in missions, luck in eliminations, etc... You need more substance on a person in order to fully judge them. Unless they're some lanky **** like Preston. And I'm not sure how you can compare Marie to those 3 beasts when she didn't even do half the things these guys did in their first challenge.

I don't think she even wants to do one. So why do something you're not really interested in just because it's there. Why not spend your time doing something you really love to do. And I don't think the challenge nowadays can be considered a 'nice little vacation' anymore.

One person said that she had POTENTIAL and could've been a key player while someone else said that she was average at BEST, implying that she's bad with no ability or potential after one challenge. That's clearly incorrect considering that she held her own against players like Sarah, Camila, Cara Maria, Nany, Jonna, Ashley K. people that are often touted as the next coming. Not bad for somebody that drank and smoke and didn't do a single work out in the months prior to the challenge. Wes didn't do anything in his first challenge. His elimination record from that season only looks good on paper when you ignore all the facts around those eliminations such as weight, people making fluke mistakes like forgetting flags, etc. He later proved himself on the Duel though. I don't even care about Marie but she definitely showed that she could do something.

Just because Jenny is not interested in Challenges does not mean that she is "above" MTV, nor does it imply that everyone else participating in Challenges is on their way to a "dead end".
Where are Laurel's friends to tell her tweeting every day about how she'll love someone (Jordan...wtf) forever is not a good look
