Regarding the duel, i wanted Wes vs CT in the final. They were the two best around that time. A lot of momentum / tension got lost when CT lost. His whole DQ looked soo strange that the season pretty much ended there and that weird feeling got transformed into the final which just felt too flat as if something was missing. Duel 1 didnt deserve that final.
Too bad that we never had any top quality seasons after Exes 2. Rivals 3 and Bloodlines are beyond tragic. Invasion was fresh but then it became about the vets once again (Ashley winning saved that season imo) and then Dirty XXX had potential but was a wasted season with the same vets. Just goes to show how people make a quality challenge or no. Nany,Nia, Wes, Theresa never returned to do a full season after that...smh.

Well... Nany was literally on the 2 seasons after Exes 2. Bloodlines and Rivals 3.
Yea we forget how dirty production does people and they did sweet little Diem DIRTYYY
I admit I was never a Diem fan. She was a strong woman and a fighter but I don't think what we saw there was out of character for her. With two exceptions (against Jenn and on The Ruins when she wanted to go home) Diem always overreacted when she was thrown into an elimination. She flipped out on Tina (then Tina said something stupid), she flipped out on Aneesa (though Aneesa should have never told her she was safe), she flipped out on Aneesa/Rachel/Britini when they worked together all season and we saw what she did on Rivals 2. Diem was great when she was safe and protected. She was a great person and I'm sure she's deeply missed by everyone but was Diem really "sweet". I'm not sure but I guess it doesn't really matter in the end.

Averey was done wrong on Rivals 3...she should have just flown another Portalnd cast member out. She is one cast member who def was screwed over and we need back.
Seasons 2 intro was excellent!! The last good one. I loved how each team had their original Real World photo and them chanting the city they are representing. It’s so nostalgic now since RW is an afterthought by MTV.
agreed! i've always said the same thing too!

The episode she left is one of the top 5 episodes of all time. It was the saddest moment in Challenge history imo
Agreed.
My favorite elimination of all time
Can't forget my favorite fight ever either lol

I wonder if when she passed away production and certain castmembers that were mean to her feel horrible?

Another network needs to come in and swoop all of these guys and girls that are on the so called "liability list".
Right they could make a better cast than the actual people who get casted.

But you're right.
Vendettas is Seasons & Exes 2 levels IMO. I’m LOVING it!
Chile now Diem did herself dirty on Rivals 2...

This will never get old. All of the fights that happened after Exes 2 don’t even come close to this. I miss Nia so much!
.
truth be told she didnt want to do rivals 3
Averey was done wrong on Rivals 3...she should have just flown another Portalnd cast member out. She is one cast member who def was screwed over and we need back.
And THIS is why Jemmye will ALWAYS be one of my favorites.
Jemmye CLOCKED her. I know Diem was on meds and she is truly one of my all time favorites, but those draggings by Jem and Cooke were god tier.
When the throat game too good

Some of the old intros used to be a hot mess!
best generic ever imo
Still my favorite Challenge intro with the exception of Fresh Meat:
The Real World/Road Rules Challenge 23: Battle of the Seasons (Opening Credits)
Duel 2 and Ruins were soo bad
****! Adam was such a flop for this!
MTV CHALLENGE RIVALS ADAM PUNCHES TY
