I think these might be unpopular, at least on here:
I don't really care about drama, unless it's coming from the game. That's the good kind IMO. It's not the primary thing I watch for though.
Actual (developing) relationships are good to watch, while hook-ups are whatever to me and are usually just sloppy.
Humor is an underrated source of entertainment IMO. This could possibly be because not much of the cast these days can make me laugh. I personally think humor >>> drama. (reason why I like Zach & Devyn) I love to laugh.
Ashley K might be wallpaper, but she's gorgeous wallpaper. Also a decent competitor IMO, which is good enough for me.
To add onto my list above, I have a very unpopular opinion that I don't think has ever really been mentioned.
One of the things I look forward to on every Challenge is the soundtrack for each episode. I like listening to music, and every season I'm always finding something new to listen to. (I do miss them playing a bit of Atreyu in the background though, like in some of the older challenges)

I miss them using punk rock or rock in general on the Challenges.
I feel like Cara Maria is the next in line to win. I don't see Theresa winning outside of a team challenge or Jonna ever winning a challenge at all. I see Nany, Nia, and even a newbie like Averey winning before those two now or in the near future.
They need another Cutthroat so they can cast whoever they want.
What they need to do is give Justin Booth the boot, find a quality producer who knows what they're doing, and bring this show back to the days of fun and diverse casts, unforced drama, and worthwhile television.
They had the chance of casting whoever they wanted with Free Agents and look how well that turned out. Anyone who was new to the screen was either very annoying or sucked in athletics completely. Except for Johnny Reilly and maybe LaToya. I feel the same outcome will appear in Cutthroat.
I think the best format in my opinion is Rookies vs Veterans. So that way specifically a lot of people from Explosion and Skeletons could come. People from St Thomas and Portland as well.
I don't mind Cara Maria finally winning one but they don't need to obviously give it to her like they did Paula. Make her work for it.
Sorta like Laurel, who despite being a clear winner for Free Agents, she was put to work and was sent into an elimination round, thrice. I want Cara to win, but obviously not like Paula's two wins. I want her to work for it, which is why I would have loved for her to win Free Agents, cause you saw how much heart she had. I don't think Cara would ever have a season she could cake walk through, because she is not elite, but definitely better than most girls currently casted.

Vets vs Rookies isn't that great either. The Vets aren't going to be anything special, just the current lot being recycled over and over. It either needs to be Old School vs New School or Legends vs Veterans vs Rookies.

I completely agree with you Lurker. The majority may say that that is what reality tv shows may be all about (forced alcoholic-induced drama, sloppy hookups and your aspiring supermodel-actor cast), but that is exactly what can be hurting the Challenge and Real World. Lets be honest, these two shows are being lost in the sea of identical reality tv shows, and perhaps, going back to it's old roots of fun-loving tv compeition (the challenge) and REAL people who have REAL problems (the Real World), maybe infact help the shows diffierantiate themselves from the myraid of reality shows that have bombarded our television. There are so many social movements that have currently become important to this country, it's a shame that the Real World doesn't recognize that can be used as an opportunity to cast people that can have intellectual and realist drama that can draw alot of attention. The Challenge used to be fun with the combination of drama and laughter which made it unique compared to other reality competition shows. Excuse the long rant, but the point is, it is time for change, something that will make these shows different from the rest, and I think they should go back to being how they used to be.

Nothing will change outwardly until the internal BS is changed.

These newbies suck. Some bring entertainment but competition wise, no comparison to the inferno/sexes/gauntlet etc days. This is why I think a lot of fans miss the old cast.
I think they just need to ax these old and tired vets and Non cast members focus completely on newer cast members. Get people that keep getting the shaft and stop with these limiting themes.

I'm not even sure if Theresa wins a team challenge with her social game. I agree with those three and maybe Camila (for a second time) if she returns.
I hope Cara never wins. She really doesn't deserve to win at all.
Meh I adore Katie and she won so I don't really care for the they don't deserve to win arguement.
I don't mind Cara Maria finally winning one but they don't need to obviously give it to her like they did Paula. Make her work for it.
I really want Abram to return and win his third. It's time for other people to win.
Eh. I'd rather have someone who's new and current win. I like Abram but he's old hat.
Fair enough. I'd be happy seeing Dustin win too tbh, both him and Nany deserve it.
Then these newbies need to work harder if they want to win
Abram needs to come back and Caramaria needs to stay at home.
Now that Cara Maria has taken a season off, she'll come back and you'll all root for her. Mark my words.
I will never root for her.
Next season - Rivals 3
Team - Cara Maria & Johnny Bananas
Ugh just the thought of it makes me wanna vomit.
Just the thought of Rivals 3 this soon makes me want to vomit.

Cutthroat is definitely necessary.
Or at least some kind of format that will allow the producers to cast anyone they want.
They had the chance of casting whoever they wanted with Free Agents and look how well that turned out. Anyone who was new to the screen was either very annoying or sucked in athletics completely. Except for Johnny Reilly and maybe LaToya. I feel the same outcome will appear in Cutthroat.
