Where do you guys think it's heading , what formats do you all want to see , who do you think should be Challenger regulars or at least a One time Rookie , How do you feel about the new inclusion of AYTO , do you think it will last?
To start
My Regulars/Rookies for the Next 3 seasons would be
Veterans: Aneesa , Trishelle , C.T and Wes
Sydney: Cohutta and Isaac
Brooklyn: Devyn , J.D and Sarah
Cancun: Jasmine and Jonna
Nola: Eric , Jemmye , Knight and Sahar
Vegas: Adam , Cooke , Dustin , Leroy , Nany and Naomi
San Diego: Frank and Zach
Portland: Anastasia , Averey , Johnny , Joi , Jordan and Nia
Chicago: Bruno , Jason , Madison , Sylyvia , Tony and Violetta
I absolutely hate the ayto people being on the show idc if they bring ratings or not, because if they bring ratings then more of those people will be on the show.
I have no issue with AYTO people as long as they keep it 2 guys and 2 girls per Challenge anything more would be too much and less would be pointless like Camila , whom I like but we could have done without.
Regulars (Realisitic):
Veterans (sort of): Aneesa, C.T, Bananas, Darrell, Rachel, Abe, Coral and Wes
Sydney: Cohutta and Isaac
Brooklyn: Sarah
Nola: Knight and Jemmye
Vegas: Dustin and Nany
San Diego: Zach
Portland: Johnny, Jordan, and Nia
EX's: Brian, Jenny, Thomas, and Brian
AYTO: Chris, Adam, Brittney, and Shanley
I dont mind are you the one, unless its half of the cast being from those shows then I will get annoyed.
I don't see them asking Joi or she ever making a final cast, I always forget she was on Portland. There are a better a variety of rookies that production think would bring more to the show than her people from explosion , Real World Chicago or whatever they call it and if they continue asking are you the one a lot of them would bring more than joi based on paper.
I hope challenges actually continue
The show was on the verge of cancellation during Rivals I. Exes almost didn't happen. I don't like the introduction of Are You The One cast members. Maybe it's a one time thing? I don't think the challenge will last to long after this season!
I would like a solid cast of old school and new school. I'm really in it for competitions. I also like 2 or 3 team challenges.
Old school: Coral, Mark, Jenn, Dan S, Rachel, Abe and CT. ( even though Jenn's done, I'd like to see her win!)
I would like MTV have a series finale of the challenge, have it announced and see which old schoolers would do it.
I don't mean to be rude, but what makes everyone think that the new Chicago season is going to produce new cast members for The Challenge? For all we know, all those people will drop off the face of the earth once their season is over. As for AYTO; I couldn't be more pissed. They didn't earn their way like Fresh Meat did, plus it looks like they couldn't find another two teams in time for filming.
Who I'd like to see make their Challenge debut? Ryan L. from NOLA, Bronne from Cancun, Arielle, Jamie, Ashley M., Jenny, and Cory from Exes.
Who should return? Adam R. from Las Vegas (2011), Landon from Philadelphia, Marlon from Portland, LaToya from St. Thomas, and Danny from Austin, possibly Donell from RR: South Pacific to see Abram's reaction.
I'm aware that Adam failed his psychological test, I just need to know if that means he's barred from the show.
I think Nia, Wes, LaToya, Nany, Marlon, Abram, and Sarah should become regulars.
Who I think will go on with the show:
Golden era : CT and Aneesa, at this point I doubt we will see Rachel, Darrell again or someone from that era.
Veterans: Wes, Johnny b, cohutta, Sarah, Theresa, camila, cara Maria, Emily s.
New era: nany, Zach, jemmye, knight, frank ( I know he said he is done but im sure he will comeback) Jordan, nia, Dustin, Leroy, Jessica, Averey, Johnny R, Cory, Brian, jay, Jonna,
AYTO: Adam, Chris, shanley, Brittany, Ryan, scali and jacy.
I think they're done with Road rules tbh. We havent had any since Exes and now with the inclusion of AYTO cast it seems like they're trying to weed out RR.
They clearly didn't have to "earn" anything. And Fresh Meat were fans picked up off the streets. AYTO were actually cast members on MTV prior. If anything, I'd say they deserve a shot at The Challenge. And The Challenge is no longer advertised as Real World/Road Rules... it's just an MTV competition show now that's apparently open to all MTV personalities... or a select few, not quite sure about the details on this new casting process. But it does make sense, since AYTO is another type of competition show on the same network. So overall, It's a brilliant idea imo.
As for regulars I'd like to see...
Old School: Aneesa, Alton, Rachel, Brad, Derrick, Abram
Exes: All
Portland: Marlon, Johnny, Nia, Avery, Jessica
STT: Trey, Robb, Latoya
San Diego: Nate, Sam, Zach
Vegas: Dustin, Cooke, Adam
NOLA: Ryan
DC: All
AYTO: Simone, JJ, Adam, Brittney, Shanley, Chris, Dre, Jacy, Wes, Kayla
Because if the challenge continues, the next season is 100% going to include people from Real World Chicago as simple as that like it does 98% of the times. Would they only have two cast members like DC or would they pull a Hollywood that was just represented for 2 seasons of the challenges, who knows? But some of them are going to be asked and are going to represent their season. Just basing on Social networks it looks like Tony, Nicole and Bruno are into fitness & doing extreme sports. For Jason based on a comment I saw of one of his friends one of the reasons he tried for Real World is for the challenges. So for some reason I don't see them declining when some of them are ask for next season if the challenges continue.
Actually, they were able to find more teams aka Laura/Trey were alternated and Sahar/Eric got calls both of them were open to do it. They just decide to go with the 4 are you the one people because they brought more to their show than Laura/Trey did on their Real World/Challenges and Eric/Sahar did on their real world plus sadly they have a way stronger fan base than they do. Plus sadly Production doesn't like casting old school especially if they are married with kids that much anymore, if not Rachel/Darrell would have been on this challenge.
For Adam Royers by what i heard by 2 different real world las vegas 2 cast members he was banned from any Viacom related show, he cannot work with them ever again it wasn't just based on the psychological test.
I agree that as time passes Joi chances become more and more Slim but I would still love her to make an appearance.
I think these people will become every season regulars:
Jess
Nia - she'll deff be asked for every season.
Brittany - she has the look and attitude to be a Katie Doyle 2.0
Jenny - I cant wait for her to be on a challenge.
Johnny R.
Cory - production loves heated meat heads.
Brian - ""
JJ - white preston
Thomas - another Dustin type.
People I think should not be in Future challenges:
Bananas - won too many, time to give others a chance.
Hailey - not the most entertaining of the bunch but we'll see on BOTE2.
Isaac - irrelavant, he should of been in older seasons.
Dunbar - irrelevant.
C.J. - started too late.
Jenna - shyish on RW but PR is making her sound like quiet a flirt this season
Laura - Snoozefest
Trey - snoozefest
Cohutta - too old.
Aneesa - outdated and old but shes been looking good recently.
Robin - irrelevant.
Mark - ancient
People I Think That Should be Asked For More Seasons:
Devyn
LaToya - she was a memorable FA cast member.
Marie - Typical girl next door girl.
Jonna - want her to make a finale.
Cara Maria - deserves a win and is always in drama.
Camila - Beautiful and brings drama.
Nany - quite flirtatious
Frank - i love to hate him
Jordan - i love to hate him.
Preston - entertaining.
Lmao to each there own but you lost me with your Isaac , Cohutta and Preston descriptions.
Cohutta isnt too old and lol at Preston being entertaining.
plus Jenny turned this season down to focus on modeling so I don't think she'll be on a season
Okay first off I gotta say LOL @ Fresh Meat Earning their way on the show. They didn't earn a damn thing. And they NEVER deserved to be on this show.
I hate that AYTO are now being included. It's infair to all of The actual castmembers. Why didn't they go with Trey/Laura and Eric/Sahar? Because they were boring? Well that right there is BS beacause they cast people who are Boring and/or Useless ALL THE TIME on these shows. Brandon/Jonna/Theresa/Leory//Jasmine..None of them are anymore interesting than Trey/Laura and Eric/Sahar yet they're on every season. I don't buy that at all.
I don't see this show lasting much longer. BMP/MTV trying to appeal to casual viewer's who don't really give a damn about this show hasn't made this show any better. And from here on out I don't know how they're going to keep this show alive considering the audience now is so dumb they can't follow this show if it doesn't have some stupid theme attached to it. This show doesn't lend itself to specific themes like Survivior or Big Brother does. This show is at it's best when they have Formats that allow them to have a wide variety of castmembers to chose from(Battle of the Sexes, Gauntet 2 & 3,)
And I also think that they need to do something about the predictability of this show. I really feel like repetitition is one reason why this show is/has lost a lot of ground. I mean nowadays it's pretty much a given that Johnny Backpack is going to go to the end and win everytime. What the hell is the point of watching? What is there to care about when you already know the outcome of the season? A stupid theme and some Idiots from another show is not going to cover up the fact that this show is just plain predicable and there is no incentive to watch.
I'll post more of my thoughts.
They all talk more then twice so they are more interesting then Eric & Sahar.

And as for Formats I want to see..Well I would like to See another Battle of the Seasons, Free Agents I would like As well. Cutthroat I'd be down for too
Simply Talking doesn't make someone interesting.
Jenny turned it down because she didnt feel comfortable being partnered with her ex and doing sexualized challenged becuase she doesnt want to ruin her relationship with Brian. She said she would definetly be on a Free Agents type of challenge.
Who I want to be regulars, one won't happen
Cohutta
Johnny R
Kelly Anne
Zach
Averey
LaToya
Hailey
Robb
Emily
Rookies who I want to see
Scott
Cory
Arielle
Nicole
Ashlee
Jenny
Bruno maybe idk yet
What by chance makes Eric & Sahar interesting ?
Most fans don't know them, a challenge fan page on instagram posted a picture of them for possible exes 2 and everyone there thought Eric was Nick brown and thought Sahar was a Sarah misspelled.
MTV only puts the cast members who hook up/drink/get into fights. Jonna, Jasmine,and Theresa are not boring at all! They were the center of the drama in Rivals 1. Trey/Laura are boring picks that dont stand out. Eric and Sahar are also very unmemorable and cadual viewers will have no idea who they are but lots of casual viewers remember Camila, Cara Maria, Jasmine, C.T.,Diem,Bananas, Nia. Thats why they get cast over some of the less interesting RW cast members.
Jenny said on youtube that she will definitely do a challenge, but she refused to do Exes because they wanted to pair her with Cory which she saw as disrepectful to her current relationship with Brian. I see her becoming a regular once she debuts.
Preston has done none of the 3 , Cohutta is a year older than Leroy and Wes.
Fresh Meat earned to be on the Challenge by what they experienced on their show. I didn't mean they earned their right onto FM.
Jenny also declined because she was trying to work on things between her and Brian.
I'm just saying, nobody knows whether Chicago will give off new castmembers for any Challenges in the future. They could be like Hollywood and D.C by giving out a few players, but no one really knows until the next season when Chicago is elligible to play.
Either way about AYTO, even if they're apart of the same network, people from RW, RR, and FM were always brought out to play. It no longer looks fair. Lets bring out people from other MTV shows and let them play on the Challenges.
You guys all make great points as to why the show has gotten stale.
In my opinion the main factor is that they only do one show per year and that puts a limit on who they can cast. It also hasn't helped that they keep repeating formats that limit the pool they can pick from i.e Rivals and Exes. What they need to do is go back to the large team formats where they can easily cycle in newer players along with the fan favorite veterans.
Yes They are. None of them have done anything that translated into entertaining or exciting TV. Same goes for Leroy and Brandon. NONE of them are interesting. So why do they keep coming back yet Trey/Laura and Eric/Sahar get the shaft? And as far as people not being familiar with Eric/Sahar..Well who's fault is that? THEIRS!. They can easily go watch their season online. I'm pretty sure MTV.Com have it(If not I'm pretty sure it's available to watch elsewhere online).
So I still stand by that Boring Excuse Being BS.
I thought she declined because she didn't want to sign a contract and not model for a year, wait that might have been just Ashley M, my bad.
Well what the hell makes Leroy/Brandon/Theresa/Jonna Intersting? Those Four are no more interesting as they are. And people can easily look up Eric/Sahar's RW Season online and watch it. It's nobodies fault but the viewers if they don't know them.
