Aren't Leroy and Bananas very good friends? I think Bananas would align himself with him for sure.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;461007]I think that's naive although the AYTO people may make that possible for a while[/QUOTE] why that is naive? There is no way Zack or Jordan puts them in. I think now, when CT is gone, I think Zack, Jordan and Johnny R plan to make into finals as one big alliance.

I assume that with CT gone that, unless he's already working with Bananas, Wes may be in trouble. I think Zach is friendly with Wes, but no one else there really is with 2 remaining guys disliking him (Bananas, Leroy), 4 meeting him for the first time (Johnny, Jay[working with Bananas], AYTO people) and 1 being indifferent (Jordan). Unless they're winning challenges or Theresa's friendships with Bananas and Zach are helping them out, I think their days may be numbered.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was apart of that alliance. If they have half a brain, they'd target Bananas again this season after he won last season.
Wes is ****ed yeah. If he and CT and other boston crew did not make alliance before CT dq then he has to count on Theresa who imo plays worse political game I have ever seen. [QUOTE=kvm1977;461028]I don't believe for a second Zach's dumb enough to role with those 2 Zach and Jonna should be safely in the middle[/QUOTE] What? Sarah&Jordan are like very strong team and Johnny is his realllly good friend. See FA final where Johnny helped him altho he was his rival. Zack is nice and Johnny is his bff. There is nooooooooo way he would dump him over what? Bananas&Leroy and some rookies? PLEASE! Zack is smart being friends with both sides, same with Johnny R but they would choose eachother over Bananas.
I have Bananas and Nany winning this season they are just the best overall team.
Any news on drama or fights.
[QUOTE=Paula Walnut;461060]This season is probably going to be like fm2 exept it is Wes vs Bananas and who ever said the rookies are with Bananas?[/QUOTE] AYTO's allegiance is up in the air, but it's common knowledge that Jay is kissing his ***.
[QUOTE=Karisa502;461000]I understand. Someone may have answered this already as I haven't read every post following this question but CT and Diem are/were speculated to be partners. Aug 18th one person spotted CT on a plane headed for NY. We didnt think much of it at the time but with the new information that Diem had surgery in NY Aug 17th I don't think its a coincidence. Whether they are on break or not, I would speculate CT is by her side. BMP made an exception for Diem since this is bigger then the Challenge but allowing that article to be posted. But take notice it said "A Reality show" and "overseas", they still didn't want specifics being leaked and that included her partner. They want us wondering a. was Diem even partnered with CT? b. If so, did he get a replacement? ... so he is probably 100% home but they aren't going to let that be announced or let him on social media. Update: Just read there have been a lot of spotting of him in NY - so that confirms, he is staying by her side. Together or not, he is in love with her.[/QUOTE][COLOR="#0000CD"]Here's the silly article that was published online. The author and I are currently engaged in some dialogue on Twitter about her poor journalism skills.

Has anyone about what the format might be like? If its like the 1st exes then the eliminations should be interesting, I like when things are picked at random. Its hard to say how alliances are working since the eliminated people were probably the ones that got last place (since they lost to AYTO people) and its only reasonable that everyone wants AYTO out. Hailiey and Tom, probably got last or were targeted for being rookies, Dustin/Jess if they didnt get last then I think Jess was with johnny, Knight/Jeymme prob got last, they suck and theyre friends with everyone so i dont see Wes/Johnny/Zach throwing them in. The biggest shocker is if Wes is working with Johnny, I highly doubt they are, Theresa doesnt have strong bonds and sucks politically, so I think theyre either winning stuff or Wes is playing it like rivals 2 and is staying out of trouble
[QUOTE=Jasper1951;461101]Yeah, I am also about 95% positive he was with Diem and her family in the Bahamas to celebrate her Dad's birthday about two weeks before they left for the challenge.[/QUOTE] If you look at his instagram, there is one picture where the location shows up - the Bahamas 5 weeks ago (the picture of him saying "Fun in the sun! #itsmybday"). Between that, the fact that they went on Exes 2 together, and that he is now in NYC instead of Boston, tells me that they are definitely still together.
[COLOR="#0000CD"]I binge watched a bit of AYTO over the weekend and I have to tell you, it's not bad. Certainly not trashy, each contestant gets $50k at the end if the group wins. No one is eliminated but they do have challenge-lite type activities. The host is pleasant and the speculated teams should do fine in the RW mix.[/COLOR]

I meant the alliances.

If you're basing it off of who is friends with who.
And Zack is not one holy team either. Him and Bananas have 'same level' partners while other girls are stronger imo. Like I said before, this seasom teams look pretty equal to me. Everybody have same changes. Bananas&Nany, Leroy&Nia, Wes&Theresa, Johnny R&Averey, Jordan&Sarah, Zack&Jonna These teams are equal in my eyes. Every team have a strong point. One is hood at puzzles, other team have size advance, others have good chemistry, others good endurance... if I have to pick 'strongest' team in my eyes, then Wes&Theresa but I do not know Wes shape, I heard he is not that good like he was. And also, they are not like smartest cookies tbh. But every team have fair change to make into finals and imo thats gonna be awesome finale.
I think it should be interesting to see where Wes fits in. I'd say AYTO people are on the outs and then you have Zach who is friends with JohnnyR, Jordan, LeRoy and Bananas and Bananas has a follower in Jay. This leave awww SOL

This leave awww SOL[/QUOTE] Perhaps people should also consider what Production wants, which would be to successfully integrate a new show/concept into how viewers presently see the Challenge, only as an extension of RR/RW. MTV's execs would expect its on-set BMP leadership to make sure it looked like there was a warming to AYTO (if they are really there) by at least mid season to bring viewers along in their brainwashing/concept change. IF an integrated show concept were to fail in the ratings, or was obviously poorly received across social media, that would reflect very badly on certain corporate decision makers. In short, when thinking about AYTO, one should think expansively. I for one second believe MTV will leave this to chance--or the opinions of the former RW cast members.

[QUOTE=retiredlrker;461008]Which bar? Is it weird that he's out at a bar with Diem in the hospital?[/QUOTE] No, he can't be with her 24/7 and it is prob tough on him seeing her that way. Anyone that has had a family member with cancer can understand what is going through his head.
