I dont mind Cory being back especially with him seeming so different since he found out about Ryder. Devin shouldve stayed home though

Cara won, the show is PERFECT, no problems whatsoever 

The males have bigger followings so they get a bigger check its simple economics. Guess what Lebron also makes more money than anyone in the WNBA.

And you said my analogy was bad, that's two completely separate organizations dipshit. It's no where near the same as people on the same show

ok then just keep the first sentence. still confused?

It's not entirly true,  Cara brings a lot more following than any guy besides CT & Bananas. If we'r going by social media following, a lot of the women more than men. Bananas and CT don't mean all men. Tony has less of a following than jemmye so does Cory

ok well bananas and CT get paid the most and after that you literally have 0 clue what anyone gets paid

I know women get paid less,  pr has said this. But sure keep pretending everything is equal

Watch them eliminte Cara and Marie 

I really hope they do. I don't want to see CM get anywhere NEAR the end of this game. 

Funnily enough your faves will be the ones helping her get there Smile

Watch them eliminte Cara and Marie 

Cara could eliminate both of them by herself.

I could see them doing a puzzle as an "equalizer " abd just have devin do all the work

This season is definitely favoured for the guys. Sure they had more females but 3/4 of the mercenaries are also male and they get to skip through parts of the game.

Hahha, this made me laugh and curious about why they would blur her face out too. They could of easily cropped her out of the photo instead of being so weird. 

Maybe they want it to be a huge surprise that she’s debuting?... it literally makes no sense to me.

Pink also said that Sarah was going to get around Bananas pay had she accepted. Im not saying the producers arent a little sexist but i feel like most of the females dont even try to negotiate higher. Like i could see Cara being okay with what they offer in hopes that it increases her chances of being called back the very next season.

If they dont blur out Da'vonne, everyone would be too busy looking at her and they would forget about Jozea. Makes sense.

That Tatoo do look ugly though.

Watch Cara Marie dragging both Cory and Devin by the knee and chin respectively.

Are you serious or being sarcastic?

The more the tasks are based on strength and quick-twitch athleticism, the more they favor men. Females do better in overall endurance challenges (see the sitting down on ice challenge in the first Battle of the Sexes or even Cara vs. Hunter in the side challenge thing at Universal Studios in Florida) and challenges which come down to listening and following directions (don't mean in a sexist way in that women are meant to follow orders, just mean that women are better at listening than men).  It's not rocket science.

So what is the average appearance fee of cast members?

Ugh for multiple reasons.

Well I feel bad for the people here who always bring up race like seriously who gives a shit is this like all they do I don't like someone because of what skin color they are but their personality, if you like/dislike someone on the show because of the color complexion of their skin well there's no easy way to put this but you're an ******* and you're reinforcing racism and stereotypes

No I'm serious. I honestly did not know that.

I think Rookies (both genders) get around 1-5k just for being on and then get paid weekly for every week they survive. Kenny said that Bananas gets around 60k. CT probably gets around the same (maybe even more). I think usually everyone else gets paid based off how many seasons they've done previously but the cast members they really want would be able to negotiate higher.

vendettas wasn't set up to be sexist, its women being pushovers thats the problem. men are just better at manipulating the game. 

Cara and Nicole went the whole season without getting sent into elimination. Women are good at manipulating the game too, they just did it without being in the Troika themselves. And that is annoying, because then MTV spends all their time on the guys making decisions. 

Okay. But on any given season who is more likely to be in charge. Men or Women?Plus. Noone said they couldn't manipulate the game AT ALL. Just that men do it better.  

Yikes. When the format lends itself to the bigger and more athletic players, of course men will "do it better". They were given a leg up on the women before the show even started. It's not a matter of "manipulating the game". When the format, the editing and the vast majority of viewers are in favour of the guys, there's no conversation to be had on whose gameplay is better, because gameplay isn't even a factor at that point. The women have to scrape and claw their way to the top every time. And when they happen to make game moves, it's either edited out (like with Marie this past season) or edited to make them look like snakes (like with Sarah and Cara) whereas guys get edits like Tony for doing **** all.    

Like I said...If the women were so good at manipulating they'd be running the game alot more than they do on a regular basis. Make any excuse you want but the fact of the matter is the women aren't as good at it. Period.  Yes they were at a disadvantage in Vendettas but as was pointed out they could've easily had more manipualtion and influece had they just spoke the **** up and not have the men run everything in the times that they didn't need to preform to be in the troika. You can't put that on editing or whatever. On top of that there have been several formats allowed women to manipualte and they didn't do it(Although some tried) while the men did. How do you explain that? Editing? lol. Maybe the women just aren't as good..

You missed the point of what I said. It's not about manipulation or gameplay, when the men are given an advantage in the game from the start. You can ignore that, and the editing that women get, as much as you want. But that's really what it comes down to. The men on the show are, and have always been, encouraged to make certain moves for the sake of the game and for their own entertainment, whereas when women do it, they're treated like shit and made to look crazy. And in some cases, never asked back. 

The only format that I can remember, where women had direct and unadulterated influence on which guys were sent in, was Rivals 2. 

Maybe you've never been close enough to a woman to put yourself in the position of one. 

Lol

The ignorance is so real...

i love when people bring up "editing" to support their claims. you dont know wtf happened.

I was more ughing you not wanting to talk about presidents but only after giving your personal take on the situation first. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. But it's extremely obnoxious to give your opinion on a subject in one breath than shushing the conversation in the next breath. Either participate or don't. Don't try to have it both ways.

I do think the show/producers are sexist at times but most viewers are sexist too. Viewers love dragging girls for being ****** so producers are going to show them hooking up. It's just how society is unfortunately. In terms of the troika there were numerous times where the girls could have fought more to be in it but let Bananas, Tony and others strong arm them out easily. They barely fought to be in it so the blame is on them for the most part. 

Also in terms of pay CT and Bananas are far more popular than the girls so obviously they'll get a lot more than the regular girls. I think if girls like Coral, Nany, Svetlana did 15 challenges in a row and were "popular" they'd be getting around the same.

Apparently lol sad. The only time race should be an issue here is when pieces of shit like Camila do what they did to poor Leroy who seems like the nicest guy thats when thats obvkiously an issue when idiots start being racist but my god being like "I hope someone Black wins" or "I hope someone White wins" its despicable who gives a shit??I hope Leroy wins because he is absolutely awesome could care less about his skin color just seems like a genuine dude and he's paid his dues. Hes always a bridesmaid never a bride (lol) and the bride is always bananas. Even though I don't like Nelson eventually he deserves to win because he is incredible at eliminations and above average on dailies, he just found himself on the wrong side of the fence against Bananas crew, he's black? Ok...great why is his skin color an issue he just deserves a win at sometime. Seriously drives me insane when people do that...

Lol
