The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines Discussion (SPOILERS)

I think part of the reason we don't get such great casts anymore is because there is no business in being a reality show alumni.  Back in the day there were TONS of speaking engagements and club appearances.  You had to milk your 15 minutes for all it was worth.  Part of the fun in watching the old challenges was seeing these people who have been doing appearances together and seeing how relationships developed and or faded. 

True. The club appearances still go on, but you have to be apart of a HOT for-the-moment show...those BGC girls make bank doing club appearances as well as Love & Hip Hop.

I think LV2 was the last RW to consistently book appearances.  They've dried up since then....

Christina and Emily are lowkey hot.

Man the show is going to suck without CT and West! They needed atleast one of the 2 since banana is already confirmed.

To wrap it all up, I think that the cast on the men's side isn't bad (other than Johnny of course). I wouldn't have minded Wes instead of him or of course an old-schooler but we won't get into that lol & if Leroy doesn't bring it this season he needs a BREAK.

But the women? That side could've been A1 compared to what it currently looks like. All I know is Jenna's cousin better be a ******* monster, either as a athlete or just crazy as **** a la Brooke (RW Denver). Same with the Christina girl & her bloodline.

Ultimately though, it is only because of Kellyanne, Cory & Cohutta ( & possibly Brianna/Averey) that i'm still thinking about watching this...Nia not being on would've been an automatic deal-breaker for me if they also weren't on this one.

Unless one of the bloodline girls is a beast, Camila will definitely be making the final. On top of her already athletic ability, she's been in the gym like everyday. Her body is on point. 

Of the 3 bloodline girls we see right now Emily is the only one that looks like she has some athletic ability. 

Nicole is ******* bad. 

CARA MARIA!? YESSSS. I now have hope for her to have her first win! Perfect format for her ahhh yay

Nowadays it's a different show, but we all still watch.  It can't go back to the old way.  But I for one am happy getting some fresh meat in the show and hopefully we can see some more people from ex-plosion skeletons so the challenge can keep going with new central characters.

This is true. It seems like club appearences and such are moreso for the shows that are big right now and if you aren't on one of those you may as well just go back to your regular life.

And it's really not even about going back to the old way it's really just about making the best cast possible considering this show is starting cancellation in the face bascially. I like this cast mostly but this could've been alot better had it not been for this theme.

No

Yeah. I like the men's cast(even Dario whom I don't mind despite him being AYTO mainly because he's hot) for the most part. There is a likable person(Cohutta) and several newbies so I'm good with that. Backpack is the one guy I have issues with.

But the women cast could've been better though.

Nicole is ******* bad. 

Nicole from Skeletons? NOOOOO! That voice!

Nicole Ramos, Nanys cousin

Why are people so stuck on this whole spouses aren't family thing?  IMO most spouses are closer to one another than they are to their cousins.  People are getting way too hung up on the specifics of the name "bloodlines," which might not even be the official title for the season.  Blood isn't always thicker than water...

Anyways, is there any chance that this is a partner challenge?  On the cast spoilers thread, every alumni's bloodline is the same gender as them.  Scares me to think they might try to pair them up in a rivals like format (only with a partner you actually like)

Still salty AF that none of the Skeletons girls are on.

Right? I'm just hoping that if Season 28 actually happens, one of those four girls will make an appearence. 

Decide to add Cara Maria, as of now I feel she is 95% sure on it:

Keep in mind I am not as confident on the 2 latest additions (Christina/Cara Maria) as I am on the rest of the alumni cast.

As far as the bloodlines goes, that would be tough for me lol I have my eye on Cohutta's cousin waiting a little longer to make sure is teh right cousin.

nope, cohuttas cousin is a girl, meaning one of the lady alumns is bringing a guy

This isn't even the same show anymore. The Real World for the first time ever is going to be in minority there lol

 

3 of the 6 girls speculated as of now are from The Real World: Nany, KellyAnne, and Jenna (she shouldn't even count lol)

with one being from each of Spring Break Challenge, Fresh Meat 2, and AYTO 2. 

I love how the Brianna hype came out of nowhere.  You guys haven't discussed her irrelevant *** in 6 years.

so there's one spot left? Or 2 who is it Down too avery Naomi and joana?

I had a feeling Cara Maria was going to be on this one despite the early rumors of her not being on.  She wasn't on last season and she kept posting about how she's been working on her swimming.

**** YEAH

either 1 or 2...If there is 2 we are missing another guy for the alumni.

I just finished AYTO season 1 and I was honestly more entertained by that than i have the last 2 seasons of the RW.  I just think it's  a better show now.

I have a bad feeling that Cohutta's bloodline will end up being a guy and that we're in for a pairs challenge for the 284627th time.

I wouldn't be surprised if BMP/MTV decides to use CT as Cara Marias bloodline...

lol

How there are no St. Thomas/Portland/Skeletons girls on this cast? Sigh. I love Cara Maria so I'm glad to see her back. There are only three Real World girls on this season so far.....lol

It's a girl. 100% confirmed.
