Laurel had the most difficult job of any of the girls during the Cutthroat final as she had to support Cara's weight the whole time because Cara was too weak to help.  Emily & Jenn pretty much gave up as soon as they saw that--understandable.  Tori & Cara got carried--that's truly pathetic.  Laurel was impressive despite the breakdown and I hate Laurel

Zach's performance on the FA final was the worst performance of anyone that didn't quit...that includes Devyn.  Devyn didn't act like a *****.  Zach did

For some reason I always thought you liked Laurel.

You probably think that because I include her on any cast in which I want the best of the best.  I don't like Evelyn either but they're both great competitors so I don't mind when they're on.  I can deal with annoying but elite competitor far better than the opposite of that.  Like Devyn is useless to me

You really think that we will get a challenge where it's the best of the best? 

No, I don't think we will now but I think we could have when the original "Final Duel" rumors surfaced.  No we're going to get the same people over and over again with stupid formats.

When was that? Right with Rivals/Rivals 2?

Yeah, around the Rivals time frame

Yes

 



Jemmye and LaToya are not on or near the same level on FA, LaToya almost collapsed after the first challenge she did, her endurance definitely had major flaws on FA and honestly any other elimination round Jemmye would win in like 8 out of 10 times.

 

To be fare, LaToya did get her head slammed into a door or wall when Swift jumped on them, plus she was dehydrated...I wouldn't call her weak for that.  I was just tell her to increase her water intake.

And I think Zach is a good competitor, not the greatest, def. overrated, but he is a chauvinistic a**hole, I'd put him in the same catagory as Kenny and Evan based on that aspect.  No one should ever talk to a woman like that , or anyone for that matter.  

Again, I don't understand how Zach can be seen as overrated? He has one of the best overall numbers since Rivals. On FA he showed no weakness prior the final, he even outperformed CT/Bananas on multiple challenges that season. He won against CJ in the tie-breaker, had one week finale performance ( which a lot of good people had too) and didn't do as well in an elimination round as one might think(surprsingly happened to most of the good ones too) but Jordan just flat out beasted that elimination round as TJ said. It wasn't like Zach couldn't hammer at all. It was more about the technique and not based purely on strength, anybody who used a hammer before knows that... If what Susie, Sarah and Veronica said are true, most men on the challenge are /were chauvinistic *****s and think the exact same way as Zach/Reily and Jordan when it comes to female competitors. Problem for those three were that MTV decided to show it...

Theres a difference between Zach laying on the ground saying he is going to die for a long time then getting beat up the mountain by Laurel and Nany than how others have done. Bananas didn't do "terrible" on Rivals 2 he just didn't do as good. He didn't stop and lay on the ground he just wasn't as good as he normally is. CT just slowed down on Exes but I'll give you that one cause I think he did lay for a bit. Whoever mentioned Emily and Laurel doing terrible doesn't make sense either they just didn't do as well as everyone else. To me doing terrible is going Devyn pace or gassing out and laying on the ground. Zachs final performance is by far the worst of anyone you have mentioned. 



Zach performance on FA final was terrible, but Bananas was also terrible considering that he beasted the Rivals/Exes finals. Prior to that final, Bananas, the four time champion, threw up and gassed out after a three minute long challenge and throughout the whole final, Frank constantly had to wait for Bananas to catch him up, whether it was the swimming or the running, he couldn't solve a basic 6th grade math equation and was basically useless in those other basic children puzzles in that final and was edited a being a ***** in the eating part and constantly complained about the stuff they had to eat/do. By his standards, understanding of his abilities and mocking CT/Wes for performing terrible in finals, Bananas did terrible, because he went Devyn pace in that final.


Laurel definitely hold Kenny down in that Fresh Meat final (especially since she saw herself as the best fresh meat) and she was literally about to quit on Cutthroat whereas Cara Maria and Luke didn't as seen in these pictures, especially since she saw herself as being the best girl or even the best person on the gray team (again!). What she says/said in the confessionals, is just the same as Zach's dying.

Throughout the whole Cutthroat challenge, Emily was also pretty much the entire time behind Jenn and she also had major problems with that dummy Ted.

In a way, for all the potential and abilities Laurel&Emily had and were praised throughout Cutthroat, they did terrible. Emily however performed just like the usual rookie-first-challenge-first-finals.
Doing terrible doesn't always mean they have to lay down to be viewed as terrible if you perform way below your standards/potential/or what you constantly say you're going to do in a final, then you perform terrible which is what Bananas, Laurel and Emily did.
Sarah, Abram, Wes, CT is no question about why they did terrible. 

Overall though, CJ beat Zach 3-2. In the first heat, CJ won two points. In the second heat, CJ got the first point while Zach got the other two. I still think CJ should've won because he had the most points but that's just my opinion. 

It wasn't a best out-of-five series with CJ and Zach, so you can't put the points together. CJ won the first round, Zach the tie-breaker which counts more. 

Sorry it's kind of late but I guess we have different perceptions of terrible because I don't think Bananas, Laurel nor Emily did terrible. Yes they didn't do well but its not like they were Tina from Inferno 2 that walked/was carried most of the time. If you really think Bananas went the same pace that Devyn would on Rivals 2 then I don't know what to tell you because I don't think thats accurate. And Laurel may have been emotionally out of it during the Cutthroat final but she never downright stopped and quit. Her being upset was all because 1) she was tired from the final 2) her two best teamates went off in stetchers and 3) she realized she had no shot winning. And last her saying stuff in confessionals does not equal Zach losing it on the Free Agents final. 

Lacey has been tweeting about this whole challenge...just noticed this.  Maybe BM will remember/notice her and invite her back! (wishful thinking I know lol but I liked her on her season and thought she was funny for the one episode she appeared on during battle of the seasons 2)

Lacey's not coming back but I don't disagree with her...unfortunately MTV wants to cater to 12 year olds...I don't think this is about BunimMurray at all

I know she's not Sad  but one can dream lol

and so i'm twitter stalking..even thought I don't have a twitter.....don't judge...

At least Abe is still open to the idea of challenges:

Also i find it interesting the random people who still comment on the challenge that are (sadly) less likely to be seen: like Melinda, Robin, Tori, etc...

I need to stop this stalking thing now :o

Laurel is an ugly crier.


Isn't everyone ? Lol I've never seen someone who looks attractive crying....

Melinda was going to be on Exes 2 as far as I know...I think we'll see her at some point

No I mean obviously people won't look stunning while crying but most of the time it isn't bad. There's regular crying (which is mostly everyone) but then there's ugly crying where people have their faces scrunched up in the weirdest ways. (which unforunately some people like Laurel suffer from.)

I'd take Melinda over Laura any day...Danny/Melinda should have been on Exes as they're one of the few legit exes

Abram is my favorite person in the elimination rounds. I like how he gets super intense and brings the crazy every time. I believe he would've beaten Ty on Exes if their elimination featured five rounds. Ty was gassed out after three and Abram even said he wanted to go a couple more rounds. 

Melinda was going to be on Exes 2 as far as I know...I think we'll see her at some point

I hope so.  I always liked her.  I also never thought much of her as a competitor until her elmination in Cutthroat when she put up an excellent fight (imo and TJ seemed to think so too) against Emily.  (Fun fact that weird to me is that she appeared with no other Austin cast members that season)

All us innocent bystanders navigating through these wallquotes like they are made in China.

They are the biggest definition of exes.

It just wouldn't be anything new because they already featured their relationship on BOTS. And they wouldn't be a threat in the competition either. They'd be one of the first to go.

I still find it hilarious how Danny and Melinda have never won an elimination. Danny is 0-6 and Melinda is 0-4 hahaha

There's no chance they would have got thrown in early unless the came in last.  And them being together on BOTS2 doesn't alter the fact that they are a perfect fit for Exes.  Melinda/Danny & Darrell/Rachel over the disaster that is AYTO would have been great

They were asked, multiple times but Danny said no so there wasn't much that they could do.

Correct but he did say he'd do a future challenge...there's no question they'd bring Danny & Melinda back which is the point

I was actually told today that he declined this season as well. But we'll see.

yes Smile

also, kind of shocking that Danny said no, he seemed to be always into doing the challenges.  I remember them being speculated forever, did anyone find out if he just had a job he couldnt leave or if he was against the theme?

He just got married--but, yes, I heard they asked him as well.  They'll ask him until the show ends IMO

I don't even think CT/Zach would be that great of an elimination to watch. Zach is soooo overrated. He has proved that every elimination. 

Zach's performance on Free Agents showed how much of an elite competitor he is. He messed up on the Final but he was the top male athlete. And *** do u mean every elimination hes been in proved he is overrated? He MURDERED Brandon and fairly beat Leroy and Ty. And in that last match of Hall Brawl CJ learned he couldnt go low anymore so thats why he went aganist Zach head to head- and was pushed back like Wes was with Bg Easy.

He didn't fairly beat Ty and Leroy hence the reason he went home


Still dominated Ty and Leroy.
