I remember when challenge13 revealed that as of a certain time Cory was a no, many here were releaved and understood why Cory wouldn't do it then PinkRose revealed his name to be part of the cast and a lot of people were surprised about this. I think Cory is thinking about sitting pretty well strategically and thought he had a easy route (watch he will be the one that got eliminated after Bruno lol) 

athletes in pro sports when they get knee surgeries, they are out for an entire season and then some. they do out of the ordinary shit on the challenge, like nobody should be climbing a mountain after just getting knee surgery. he was better off rehabing it and coming back next season with his knee near 100% as opposed to 6+ weeks removed from surgery where you def arent even running yet.

I agree.

I'm sorry...maybe you just like this kid but Cory and Dario would likely destroy him in anything that dealt with any kind of contat.  Tony's a ***** so okay but there being another weak competitor doesn't make Bruno any less weak.  Theres'a on Anthony on this cast?  Can't comment on him

I like Bruno from a drama potential standpoint. My point is, the guys are pretty equal so i don't think there is any weak guys there. Hunter and Shane are the best athletic looking wise there. Which has nothing to do with how they will perform. So calling Bruno weak and putting him with Devyn if he would do good is kind of a reach. Cory has a pretty ****** up knee (which is why i wondered why he is doing this challenge), he had to have surgery like a month and a half ago again on his knee, it was shown on both of his seasons that this knee injury is affecting him pretty big already. Physical contact is like a death nail for him if you focus on his knee.Dario isn't as athletic as his baseball haydays in college, Bruno (whether you know it or not) has a boxing background. Anthony/Tony fall the same category. Guys being pretty equal athletic wise is a good cast, still not understand what the whole point with the champions now will be. The champions with an individual format are already the favorites to win smh.

I don't see a shred of athleticism in Bruno.  Dario has athleticism--he just isn't in great shape.   Same with Cory and the knee issue.  Bruno has a background in boxing...lol.  Like at a gym or legit boxing?

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean Bruno doesn't have it. You are clearly applying double measures here. As far as i know (and portraited on the show in the beginning) Bruno did legit boxing and started doing it after he trained himself how to walk again after his car accident on pretty much the same level as Dario doing baseball.

Trained himself to walk again?  He has no chance on this.  And, if I'm wrong about his past, I can't see it (kind of like Knight playing hockey--lots of people play sports but aren't truly good at it) I'll own it.

That's exactly what I meant with applying double standards. Cory needed to train himself to walk again too after his two recent knee surguries (watch Cory's facebook interview where Cory explained that he couldn't walk and do anything physical for about two months, this was about 4- 6 weeks ago). If you look at Bruno's insta (I mean just look at the pictures PinkRose used...) and compare him to Anthony, Tony, Cory and Dario. This guys cast is as equal as it gets. Knowing their background of all people, it's even more clear.  And production ruins it again by brining in the two best ahletic guys there by far with Darrell and Bananas two/three elimination rounds later.  

NO, having ACL/MCL/PCL surgery and adding strength isn't the same as "retraining yourself to walk away".  Cory didn't have to learn to walk again.

Like I said before, Emilee will have been a complete idiot to have not done some type of training before coming to this one. 2 years is more than enough time to get in great shape.When Emilee provides the shock of the century & is the one to take out Jenna >>>>>>>>> 

Emilee wasnt able to break the wall on her elimination on free agents that Jonna was able too despite being so tiny...I am fine with Emilee, but she wasnt born with an athletic bone in her body based on the way she runs and her past performances. Highly doubt she would be able to beat Jenna, a girl that does over average in daily challenges and have done well in elimination against people that have performed better than Emilee.

I agree! I don't see Bruno being a weak competitor

Apparently when you watch the show you will

Keep in mind, till this day i don't know what exactly Cory had, how big the surgery was and what he had to remove or had to take the injury for, but watching how he had problems walking up the mountain and the finale on Bloodlines, his elimination round problems with Nate, he is already affected by it. Plus, he is / was already always wearing knee pads when doing more athletic based challenges. 

Assuming it's Sylvia who was out first Sad

**** I was looking forward to seeing her compete :/

Watch his facebook interview. He uses the same words.

Being in shape =/= being athletic

Strong people have been eliminated first on the past....

But it's not the same thing regardless of what Cory says..... Cory isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and said that but what he probably meant was physical therapy and rehab

You never know lmaoo jk

I doubt she did any serious training tbh. She just better bring something this time around, whether improved ability or drama. I like her as well but **** lol we need Cancun Emilee to make a comeback.

If someone that had ACL/MCL surgery used the phrase "learn to walk again" they're a ******* idiot.  Had that done--was walking again in a coupld weeks without problem.  Wasn't able to start playing hockey again for about 10 months and certainly wouldn't go on a challenge prior to a year after BUT it isn't "learning to walk again"

What was Bruno's actual injury?  I think I'm going to hate him just because of his fans at this point.  This kid, I checked out some more photos, looked like Ryan Kehoe could kick his *** in something physical.

I hope you don't mean that by going home first, one is a weak competitor. Otherwise, Bananas, Wes, Cara Maria, Darrell, Aneesa are all weak competitors ...

I think she looks thicker! Not in a bad way, it looks like she has more curves now days.

If its something like free agents, I think she can do a Devyn and make it to the end assumming last place doesnt have to go in 

Where tf did this random *** emilee stanning come from I could've sworn most of y'all were annoyed she got on and not someone like violetta or ceejai. Literally the exact thing most said loool confused rn. I ain't jumping on no bandwagon tho. Already knew folks would've jumped on it the moment pr and others liked her smh. Not directed to a specific person.

Have your own opinion. Be your own person. Like Aneesa said it's really cool to be yourself

Sure Bananas went home in I Can and Darrell went home with a weak partner but they're are the exceptions

Exes 2--Dustin & Jessica--two weak players

Free Agents--Chet & Jemmye--a ***** and a weak player

Rivals II--Dunbar/Tyrie/Jessica/Ana...a quitter and 3 weak players

Seasons--Wes & Lacey--see Lacey

Exes--Nate & Priscilla--weak

I mean--typically they're weak....there's also no one there right now that appears to be great on the guys side so we;ll see how good Bruno does.

why are we calling bruno a weak competitor when we havent even seen the episode yet? in the daily, he couldve killed it and came up short, and then got voted in and lost in a close elimination for all we know.

Evelyn was paired with Danny J...Wes was paired with Lacey...Aneesa was paired with crazy Robin against Evelyn...Bananas lost in "I Can" in a challenge where every guy won at least one challenge, Darrell was paired with Cara who wasn't mentally ready...

Looking at the cast that's there--there's no elite competitor

Apparently people really like this kid...we can stop this for now then when he sucks I'll bring us back to it.

kvm is doing too much lol

Either Theo or Dylan will be the rookie standout, calling it now.

Idk why people expect Bruno to be good.  Jason I could see but Bruno?

he can be terrible for all i know. I am not gonna judge someone athletically without seeing them perform.

He's a vegan?!?!?!  He's going to do great on eating challenges.

I'm not expecting anything because I haven't seen the season yet, I just think claiming someone is awful before we even see anything is ridiculous.

What does this picture prove? lol

I was thinking of Bruno being more of a entertainment factor rather than competitor but I guess people actually expected him to do good?
