When was the last time they actually replaced anyone with an alternate after an early dq? I think the alternates are there in case anything happens prior to filming but once it gets going they tell them to go home.

Last I can remember is Nelson and Amanda replacing Avery and Leroy.

Oh wait Briana in Dirty 30. Though she was there for all of like 10 seconds probably why we forgot lol

Also Tony replaced Devin last minute as Bananas' partner in Final Reckoning.

Idk was it Amanda/Nelson in Rivals 3? Seriously it just seems crazy that they didn't learn from last season. I'm sure there's plenty of reality people who don't have shit going on anyway and would love to get paid to sit around like they already do lmao

I forget Amanda and Nelson weren't even on the main cast for Rivals 3. Who knows if they even get a shot on a future season if not for that. 

Also Tony replaced Devin last minute as Bananas' partner in Final Reckoning. 

Tony wasn't an original alt though. He originally declined because he had a wedding(?) that interferred with the start of filming. He was brought in after the fact cause it was after the wedding.

i just watched rivals 3 and that final was the worst i have ever seen in my life

I know right? We would be down two of the main new age stars

apparently amber never wanted to be on and only agreed to be an alt. she got a free alt cheq and dipped thats legendary tbh.

one of coping mechanisms, making up your own scenarios. it's okay you'll get through this, you all will

Mmm you haven't seen enough finals then lol. It will especially leave a sour taste in your mouth though when you know that Bananas cheated on the overnight portion with unprescribed Adderall, he was caught, and they just fined him instead of DQing him. If Sarah wins that portion, she beats him in the final.

This is confusing. If it is Big T who was positive and she was in the house for like 2 days with these people, it seems like there's a pretty solid chance that at least one other person got it, and possibly kept spreading it to like half the house or more. I'm assuming one of Big T's tests from when she was in quarantine ended up being positive(again, assuming it's her) which is why they're sending her home, but what if other cast members are positive? Are they about to send home half the cast or would they wait 2-3 weeks until everyone's recovered? They're really dumb as hell though for sending the alternates back home after what happened last season

Yeah and like if emy was out before everyone else did they continue filming even after big t tested positive? Or maybe she had the closest contact with big t and they removed her right away?

Maybe they aren't doing rapid tests? Normally it takes like 2-3 days for results to show. 

Also they might have given them their phones back or something and maybe Emy was just a false alarm.

Wait they actually sent Amber home? I swear they do the dumbest sh**. You'd think they would want to capitalize off the fact that Amber is the 2nd African American female to win in YEARS.

Wait they actually sent Amber home? I swear they do the dumbest sh**. Let's say if a female cast member had COVID..why not save the most recent winner and bring her in as the replacement? You'd think they would want to capitalize off the fact that Amber is the 2nd African American female to win in YEARS.

I mean normally I would agree with their decision to move on from Amber like they did Jenny.. She's not a reality tv personality. But given how trash the veteran's girl side is with Aneesa, Big T, and especially KAYCEE, she really shouldn't have been an alt.

I imagine they are doing both rapid and regular or at least they should be doing both just to be sure. 

Nelson would be a great partner for Michaela lol she's smart enough to do puzzles and such for them. he's also very supportive of his partners unlike Fessy, sometimes CT, etc.

CT is supportive of strong partners--he and Michaela will get along great if they're paired and we all know it.  CT was even nice to Adam King and let Diem run the show (though both were mistakes) aside from Veronica he really hasn't been bad.  He was better with Big T than most would have been.  

We've only really seen Nelson with Amanda (for a couple episodes) and Shane.  I have no idea how he'd act as a veteran with a rookie.

Fessy wouldn't treat Michaela poorly because she wouldn't allow it and he's definitely a better competitor than Nelson as we've seen.

I guess we'll have to see what happens if we get a season 

fessy is not better than nelson lmao 

can y'all compare ct and kyle or something damn.

I was just stating Nelson would be good, I wasn't arguing against CT. But now that you mention it, I think that CT was only a good partner to Diem and Adam because he's very cognizant of the situation he was in with both of them. He treated Veronica very poorly, and again, was very cognizant of the backlash he received and applied that to how he then treated Big T. He didn't really mesh well with another alpha like Kam, and I would argue Michaela is also an alpha.

I really don't see Fessy and Michaela meshing well at all, especially with his whole persona he's trying to put on. Nelson would be way better for her imo. He was very supportive of all his partners in Invasion for example.

can y'all compare ct and kyle or something damn. 

feel free to log off or keep scrolling?

Also Tony replaced Devin last minute as Bananas' partner in Final Reckoning. 

tony wasn't an alternate though

Stop falling into his trap 

 

 

It might have already been mentioned but was it definitley a cast member who had it and not just a camera man or someone who supervies the dailys etc.

 

All arrows point to big t imo but nothing has been confrimed 

Hope those Big T stans hold their fave woman-child accountable for travelling all over then if it is her. Play stupid games...

Of course. The same time when you all keep your faves accountable for traveling as well :). 

So is Amber confirmed to be home already? Sad

So is Amber confirmed to be home already?

i think so 

Dead that people actually think Fessy is a good villain, idk but to me everything about him and his "drama" is fake and forced

i think the only real Fessy we see is him being a misogynist towards women 

fessy is not better than nelson lmao 

He's made more finals than Nelson, right?  He's also never been eliminated.  Which yeah neither was Devyn but it's a different era.

Tony wasn't an original alt though. He originally declined because he had a wedding(?) that interferred with the start of filming. He was brought in after the fact cause it was after the wedding.

Tony and Madison were supposed to be alternates and Cory/Darrell

Part of the problem right now is that we don't truly have a villain. I agree with you that Fessy isn't that guy but he played the role he needed to in order to keep getting called.

while this is all true on the surface, none of his elim wins are that impressive to me 

beat a one handed man in a game that requires 2 hands

beat nelson who is way smaller than him in stature and even then nelson put up a good fight

beat kyle who is lanky and the size of like 1/2 of fessy
