It's getting back on track though with Invasion.

I think Emily gets a ton of credit for manipulation and playing the game.  She just lost a lot of respect because she quit.Casting became a problem with The Gauntlet 2...they had a ton of trouble getting veterans because of their rules.  Then Fresh Meat happened and, well, we know the rest. 

...The show turned to crap.

I still want to see all of Back to New York, including that casting special they did for this season & The Quest where they all stayed in the house together. Still kicking myself for not saving those videos the 2nd half of B2NY while it was on Youtube smmfh is there a way I can get in contact with the person who uploaded them? So serious lmao

The casting special is something I would love to see.  Katie didn't make either cast initially...what?

Lori really wasn't asked again after Battle of the Sexes unless it was a later season.  She said if she was called she'd go for a few years after that ended.  

Melissa was supposed to do Inferno 2 with coral but both dropped out after Coral heard Tonya was planning to try and get her eliminated.  Rachel and Beth took their spots. 

 

Melissa was supposed to come back with Coral for Gauntlet 2 but then Bravo did Battle of The Network Reality Stars (and apparently were paying more), so they decided to do that instead.

Yeah I remember that, because a lot of the veterans i.e. Rachel, Veronica, Abram, Mike, Tina and Tonya didn't want to do the next challenge because they were stiffed on the Inferno 2 reunion special pay, so they basically had it done like they did with The Gauntlet reunion/Inferno 1 pre-show, with cast one on one interviews, to avoid paying the fair rate they would all get for a reunion special.

It would've been AWESOME seeing Melissa AND Coral on a challenge with Julie, Beth, and the other new players.

She was already friends with Katie and Aneesa, and friendly with Robin. And I don't think she knew many of the rookie girls aside from Cara Z and the X-treme BOTSexes 2 girls and Cameran, but she didn't seem to hate them.

Don't mind Lori but I'm not even surprised that she wasn't asked back. She wasn't exactly interesting.

I thought Beth was the main reason Coral dropped on G2I also thought Melissa & Coral were supposd to be on I2 but dropped out.  Tina & Rachel were the replacements?  Maybe I'm confused.

I know Beth was a part of the reason Rachel didn't want to do Gauntlet 2 & I'm sure Veronica was the same. Battle of The Network Reality Stars filmed around the same time.

I remember hearing that was well.....I'm guessing they were supposed to be on both of them but Coral did say at the BOTSexes 2 reunion that she wanted to take a break for at least one Challenge....

From what I've seen of The Quest, Katie didn't become the one we all know & love until The Gauntlet. She was pretty mellow on her RR season.

was that where she was like ineed to take a break or else im gonna kill somebody lol

was that where she was like ineed to take a break or else im gonna kill somebody lol

Yup, then she went after Tonya for calling people & plotting on her for the next season lmao

Derrick, Averey, Brianna Taylor, Ayiiia, Marlon, Jamie Larson, Violetta, Veronica, Ruthie, Aneesa, KellyAnne, Ace and Cohutta is my challenge 30 wishlist. Johnny, Jenna, Camila and Zach can all stay home though. 

Yessssss at all of those people, esp Queen Ruthie. That's my #1 girl that I want to come back because she has been wanting to return for years. She may not bring much in the drama department but she has so much potential to kill the competition. Her performance on Battle of the Sexes will always be amazing to me <3 love when she had the best time on Maximum Velocity and ended up winning her team those cool bad *** cars before the final mission! 

Battle of the Sexes was an amazing challenge from start to finish. There was a lot of good drama that had to do with the game and the vibe just felt awesome, you could tell that so many cast members had such a great time. Jamaica was a great location too. And the theme song with all the cast members at the beach was great to watch. 

And it's like they've never given Emily B. absolutely ANY credit whatsoever; they didn't even do it in the Golden Era let alone nowadays. I love Queen Veronica but she was not the first person to really play the game, she was the first victim of it.It's funny how back then most people loved the entire cast save for 1-3 people; nowadays most hardcore fans detest nearly the entire cast save for 1-3 people lmaooooo. It's getting back on track though with Invasion.

Emily MADE Rachel and Veronica lol she was the OG mean girl that gave no *****. She was like a more savage version of Megan from I Love Money hahaha she had so many epic one-liners: 

"We're not sending these people to their death. We're just sending them home.....I'm definitely not going to stand up there and cry. NOT MY STYLE."

"It takes balls to look someone in the eye and say hey you're not pulling your weight, you gotta go."

Ruthless af hahaha and her telling Rachel to wrap her speech up with her fingers while Rachel is crying KILLS ME every ******* time *****

Imagine not stanning the second best Male Cast member from RW New Orleans (2010) behind Ryan aka Preston.

LMAO....and then her comment when the girls voted off Julie because of Melissa, but Genesis announced it. "I think Melissa should've had the balls to say Julie I just don't like you. Bye." Smh @ Viacom's dumb ***** pulling the 1st elimination but keeping everything else. TRAGIC....

Also loved her quitting. "Hey Guys, That changes my decision too to stay." "Huh?" "That changes my decision to stay, Sorry." <333

The Queens all quit= Emily B., Beth S., Coral S., Shauvon T., Trishelle C. <3333333333

*****, we are clearly in the middle of discussing challenge legends so keep Preston's name out of this conversation!

Battle of the Seasons, Sexes 1, and Gauntlet had the best missions in my opinion. I loved the impromptu challenge on Battle of the Seasons where they just had to jump in the pool  and get in the intertube. Sexes 1 had the best cast and I didn't even know majority of them. Antoine and Blair were hilarious and had a positive presence I wish they returned. Coral and Melissa on a challenge vs Julie and Beth would have been GOLD. I also wish they didn't eliminate Piggy from Inferno....I can't imagine what a great season that would have been with her. Speaking of Inferno, it's a shame Kendal and Mallory were one hit wonders. I could go on for days about the Battle of the Seasons-Battle of the Sexes II area.

Emily B.  is probably one of my favorite females. I loved how Chadwick went off on her through the phone on Battle of the seasons.

I also loved how she flipped the script and got Veronica voted off and said it point blank. She really was savage. She was also really athletic and went from the lowest scoring girl to the inner circle! 

She was the real first woman to play the game to make money!

Yep. Katie was an alternate. She replaced Jisela on the Quest. 

Emily, Ellen, Amaya, Yes and James, I think, would have dominated the Challenges if they did another. Maybe not Amaya, but she was fun to watch! Also, everyone I mentioned were athletes!

the casting special was awesome. Coral and Ellen couldn't stand each other. They both had such big personalities they were put on different shows, which worked out for the best!

How good was Yes?

I've always wondered what was going on with their parents when naming some of these people. "Yes" "Piggy" "

Haha. Yes was very athletic. He was a very chilled out dude. Piggy has a real name, I forgot it, but I think she squealed like a pig when she was born and then they nicknamed her piggy. Yes's name is cool. but don't know anything about his name!

So I'm currently watching the BOTSexes Casting Special on Youtube and it's such a shame what this show has come to. They really used to have amazing characters Puck, David E, Ayanna, Ellen, Emily, Veronica, Melissa, Julie, Christina, Ruthie, Dan R, Jisela just to name a few. I wish the current casting directors would watch this season before trying to cast the next challenge.

I was in 6th grade when this started airing & I remember being HOOKED! Man I miss the good old days

Me, too! 

And I completely agree. The show has lost all substance. 

That's why the Golden era was so special. I could watch any of those old school seasons over and over and not get bored. The characters were just more genuine and had cool friendships with each other. Now, some of the challengers are just too extra and not sincere though the blame for that should go to Booth and all the terrible people he brought in with him.
