Not really. I can easily see none of them returning for this season.

i mean smash made it kinda clear that she will be

 I hope not. She needs to stay her *** a home at this time given that she just lost a close one. Don't use this show as an escape. It's not going to work.

I'd be shocked if Ashley M doesn't show up.  They're basically building around her IMO.   Shane will be on if he wants to be on it.  Amanda is apparently done for the time being (if not permantently) and I thought Sylvia wasn't interested any more.  So, I'd say at least one...probably 2....unlikely 3...definitely not 4

I don't know her. *insert Mariah meme*

Amanda and Ashley M yes. Sylvia no.

Sylvia won eliminations while Ash and Amanda controlled politics Smile

Ashley just lost a loved one. I would hope she wouldn't bring her *** on another season so soon after that.

Luigi too woke for me tonight

Ashley M needs to stay home this season. She needs time to properly grieve. Sylvia & Shane can return though 

I can do without Ashley M. I swear more of these regulars need to take notes from aneesa and learn to take breaks. After 3 challenges, they get old to me. Though I do love Ashley, she needs to stay off so her appearances on the show stay fresh.

I know smash was close with her dad but I didn't think they were that close

if all these old heads can be on 7+ seasons in a row and "bring in the ratings" our new regulars can show up as long as they are popular and have relevant storylines tbh

I do think three in a row should be the max...then sit out 1.  Won't happen but I wouldn't hate John or Cara as much if they weren't always there.  It's why I liked Cara, Susie, Aneesa, Dan Setzler, Theo Von, Jillian & Timmy...I could be excited when they showed up because it wasn't just an automatic thing.  Even Mark Long did a good job of spreading out his apparances.

No, but he always kept losing in heartbreaking fashion until the Inferno 3 so I never cared that he came back. Ashley M just won Invasion and came back for Dirty 30 not ready. If she takes this season off, I'm all for it. If she comes back, it's whatever. She's great tv anyway. I'm just saying after 3 challenges regardless of who it is, I want to see them less and less vs someone who we haven't seen in a while coming back.

But I'm also sick of CT/John/Cara/Camila too, it's not just the new school regulars. I just want a cast that's different every season, which I know is too much wishful thinking at this point. 

****, unpopular opinion but I didn't care to see Coral/Miz/Veronica on every challenge in the golden era back then. But it's easier to appreciate them now and how great their characters were and also the fact that 4 challenges in a row means nothing these days, but even I was wanting them to take a break during those days.

Yeah ppl need to leave. If John would take breaks I might actually miss him or find him somewhat tolerable.

Pretty sure it was 6....but Derrick, Paula, Kenny, Cara, Leroy, Jasmine, Camila, Sarah, Jenna, Cory, Tony & John were used to much in a row.  People complain about Jenn but she never did more than 3 in a row.   The only 2 people that did a bunch in a row that weren't overused was Coral & Veronica because they always brought so much to the show.  

I don't disagree with the idea of not being on all the time even tho personally I feel like constants are needed especially for the new gen, people have to become fans of these people so the torch can be passed

i will say I wish the critic was consistent, for our Vet faves like Derrick, Veronica, Kenny, Paula etc

those people became faces because they were a constant just my opinion tho

Veronica is the only person you listed that i disagree with...though even Veronica is more likable after breaks.  I appreciated her much more on The Ruins & XXX than I did when she was a regular.  Coral never did more than 3 in a row...only did 6 total.

****. I remember back in the day not liking Veronica doing so many seasons. I was tired of her after Inferno 2 so I was glad that she took a long *** break after that season. 

Oddly enough she was the only one I was sick of. Didn't mind anyone else doing back to back shows.

Also me:

Me. As. ****.

Kenny, Paula, John, and then add Cara and Camila now were the worst offenders to me. I hated everything about them but they kept being brought back. 

To Ashley's credit, she's comparable to a Miz/Coral/Veronica regular in that she can do so many challenges and not get tiring. Can't say the same for Jenna/Cory/Dario/Tony but that's just my opinion. Just saying after a while, a break from them is what I want.
