Maybe Johnny Middlebrooks has a medical issue or STD that DQ him
i know there definitely was some rules about std testing back in the real world contracts, but wasnt it discovered that paulie had herpes during his BB season and then he still went onto the challenge? eta: maybe it was victor? Or both? I just remember there was talk about how many people that season were on herpes medication.
Paulie and Cara both look like a walking add for herpes to be honest. But I'd be surprised if a bunch of them didn't have STDs
He has a million followers on Instagram so maybe that's why?
They wanted first booths that wanted redemption some of them didn't make the Final Cut and some of them declined.
Oh, so they literally wanted flops? Redemption as a theme doesn't even work for a lot of these people. Horacio won 5 eliminations and only got DQ'd in the final because of an injured partner. He essentially played his first season perfectly, he didn't win, but he doesn't need "redemption". Not to say he shouldn't be back, it's just a flawed themed.
Survivor never did a first boots season for a reason. They did Second Chance as "the best to play once and never win". That's kinda how this season should've been cast. But clearly they slashed the budget. If I had to guess, the appearance fees and stipends probably went from (I'm guessing) $200-250k usually to around $50-70k. And the grand prize will probably be $500k at most.
I just don't think this cast works. It's going to be like a worse version of Challenge: USA without at least the Tyson and Sarah rivalry carrying the middle half of that season. The rest of the rookies just ran around like chickens with their heads cut off, which is what I expect. There's too many clueless floaters and regular people.
People complaining about not wanting the same tired *** vets all the time then u get a cast with no long term vets and y'all are still crying. **** yeah it's not the best but it definitely ain't the worst
I agree I'm excited for a fresh cast. It got so stale, predictable, and the reused vets didn't even have good personalities. I'll definitely give it a chance to play out. The frustration for me is they are intentionally cutting interesting people with built in storylines for some extremely dull people. It looks more like a season of Botched instead of The Challenge but that's a personal, petty complaint. I also think there should be some Real World representation. There was many great redemption choices from there. I just don't want understand why they don't wanna give us a great cast that can deliver and the fans are connected to. The lack of diversity is odd too this season but not surprising with Skye. But it's new, I'll give it a fair shot.
I feel like if this was a cast of 32 and the other eight people were Johnny Middles, Grant, Joss, Kelz, Bayleigh, Priscilla, Natalie A, and Georgia, I would feel more like, "Oh ****, here we go, heavy hitters season with no vacation alliance!" It just feel like a stew without the meat right now. All broth. Too lightweight.
The biggest sneak on this cast. I need something from the fake vampire this season. This is why Amanda was needed on this season because she would've got him together
Did Chuck from FR get called ? He fit the theme not that I'm asking for him but I'm curious
I would've been ok with that. There's a good batch of MTV people that could've worked.
Someone who got eliminated without actually competing fits a redemption theme like HELLO. I think a redemption season would be cute but there's no qualifications I guess for this cast for who fits " redemption "

He was one of the first names I thought about. And, maybe they did call, but who knows.
On paper, I love this idea there's just names I would've like to have seen. And, that's the main thing bothering me.
I always expected to see Emanuel back, I feel he's someone they were grooming to be a regular...although his stock probably took a hit once Emy became persona non grata,
Tbh- If I enjoyed The Challenge Australia and The challenge Argentina for the most part without knowing a single person on either then I think I would give everyone a shot on this. The challenge uk did suck in every aspect.
Yeah it'll definitely be fresh, but the mediocrity can't be praised. There are DEFINITELY better redemption casts that can be made still using 24 slots.

It was too short but I liked it lol. AJ, Arabella, Callum, Zara, and AJ's brother should all be regulars tbh.

I feel like with UK I had the highest hope because UK reality show were known for being messy back in the day. Between the short season, the horrible editing and everything felt rush.
I feel like with Australia and Argentina since they had way more episodes I was able to connect with some of them
So no alternates?

Lockie had the most hilarious one episode arc I've ever seen. Glad he's back. Let's get those black eyes back baby!
How long until he's dropped? Production playing with the spoiler team. Not nice.
I feel like she'd be teaching elementary school and would be a good teacher.
jman literally a sexual predator and continues to give his opinion like anybody gives af.
I agree with y'all, there are 18 different versions of the challenge now there's no need to repeat yourself

He shouldn't have been a priority over Johnny, and that's where I stand on that.
I would've taken Kim since Colleen was there too.
Still confused how Emanuel sneaked on this season
The biggest sneak on this cast. I need something from the fake vampire this season. This is why Amanda was needed on this season because she would've got him together
Seriously. Literally the definition of a "confessional gangster". Talked all his sh it in private. Silent as a lamb every time he needed to step up.
I would've been ok with that. There's a good batch of MTV people that could've worked.
But she wanted to be stupid and play with the big dogs instead chileee when she could've had a special run on this

Anyone that has more than two seasons under their belt shouldn't be on this and anyone that has seen a final shouldn't be on this
That's what I would've based a redemption cast off of but what do I know
He was one of the first names I thought about. And, maybe they did call, but who knows.
On paper, I love this idea there's just names I would've like to have seen. And, that's the main thing bothering me.
But, I'll get over it.
I actually think Horacio and Olivia make sense considering how they went out in the ROD final. I just don't have any strong opinion of them.
I always expected to see Emanuel back, I feel he's someone they were grooming to be a regular...although his stock probably took a hit once Emy became persona non grata,
I would probably make a exception for them since they did get DQed due to production incompetence
Tyrie could win with this cast
Get James Ed and Emanuel OUT
