Go watch battle of the exes aftershow, that was really f***** up . Just my opinion
[QUOTE=Kripsters1;321384]Go watch battle of the exes aftershow, that was really f***** up . Just my opinion[/QUOTE]
Which after show? There's like 10 of them.
I *think* Cara made a joke that Camila lost her virginity to Johnny, and it turned out to be true, which would obviously be humiliating to Camila. Cara didn't know that though, it was just her making a wisecrack and putting her foot in her mouth. I'm pretty sure they've both moved on from the incident, so it's kind of ridiculous for anyone else to be upset about it.

I don't think it was a joke. I think Cara Maria knew exactly what she was saying but just didn't think it through first. Cara Maria just say dumb things at times--much like Sarah
[QUOTE=GivingTree;320555]I think it's crap that Camila refuses to send herself in just because she sees herself as the stronger competitor. Does she expect Cara to volunteer herself every time? And IMO Camila isn't that much stronger than Cara in the first place. And on top of that, Camila is arguably the main reason Team Fresh Meat got sent in with her godawful social game.[/QUOTE]
In the end, it's the same reason why Cara Maria doesn't want to send herself in. It's clear that they're not acting like a team, and are really in it for themselves - so from their mindset, neither wants to go in and risk losing that giant payday in the end.
Personally, and this is just from viewing the Challenge - I feel like Camila is a strong competitor both mentally and physically. She's intimidating because she's athletic and strong, and unlike other girls - she's actually fearless when she goes into these sort of things. Going head to head, hanging 50 feet in the air, she doesn't really lose it at all. Cara Maria on the other hand, from what I've observed, needs to be really paired up with someone who she trusts and who can motivate her. She got through CutThroat because of Abram, Rivals - after Laurel and her got their ish together - she worked great. The fighting with Abram on Exes sort of threw her mindset off a little bit (not to mention having to go against Emilee). On this challenge, Cara Maria just seemed like she was over it from the minute she got there. This team wasn't united, or as formidable as others, and no matter what she was going to be thrown in every time.

All 3 of them apparently knew they were screwed with Eric and the fact that they got there a week after everyone.

This. Cara Maria is an attention seeker, and if she has gossip, she wants to be the one to tell everyone. Good for us, cause we love hearing gossip about them, but that was still very disrespectful of her to share such intimate information about someone else on national TV

If by national tv you mean an internet extra that most people don't watch
It wasn't just that instance... It's the way she ALWAYS plays the victim-card and gets all meek, but for some reason she is always the one who lets those "innocent" remarks "slip", which again usually start the big ****...
On the other hand she sometimes tries to act totally though, despite someone needing to hold her hand all the time for her to accomplish anything remarkable...
She may have had potential as a competitor but nowadays she would get eaten alive in a Duel type of challenge. Period.
Oh and here is part of an interview with Camila, which I actually found nice:

She also talks about the bullying this season...
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBlYs2IexnM]CAMILA TALKS BULLIES ON BATTLE OF THE SEASONS ( "MTV Challenge" Champ) - YouTube[/url]
She also says that she found it weird that she was put on this FM team, because she wasn't even a FM to begin with.......btw, I still don't get why they couldn't have called them Misfits or Off-seasoners or something:)
[QUOTE=CherryPie;320342]Hm ok, Brandon [I]always[/I] bites the bullet. He always goes in, for once he stands up for himself and that's cowardly?[/QUOTE]
Brandon is a ****** coward. He sits there and acts like he has been on 7 challenges, has a won, and doesn't deserve to go in. He beat Derek, JD, and Ty all of which were terrible competitors at the time, he got shut out by Derrick and was eliminated quick on Rivals. He hasn't paid his dues at all. He's a coward.

Well that escalated quickly...
If Brandon were on this team with a good male competitor, or even someone at the middle of the pack, then I would agree with you Scorcho. But that's not the case. Of three Arenas that have passed, Eric should have been in all 3 no questions asked. This 4th, upcoming Arena is when Brandon should have volunteered, had he not been sent home.

His wins during Cutthroat weren't impressive but he did win them. Also, very few people are going to beat Derrick in anything that deal with wrestling.
Brandon did good during Rivals. Ty killed them in the elimination round. He beat Kenny & Wes the first time up the rope. Wes beat him the second. Those things happens.
He's not a great competitor but he's solid--far better than Eric
Eric should have gone into every elimination. He knows his team has no chance in a final with him on the team, so he should have gone in every time and the girls should have switched every time. I wonder if big easy was the only other guy they called or if they tried Vinny, Luke or Noor. Replace any of those guys with easy and they make the finals.

I wouldn't go that far.
I think Noor would have given them a great chance to make the finals
Luke is probably 50/50--I do think he'd do well in elimination rounds
Vinny hasn't exactly been impressive to me but he's a better athlete than Eric so that would have helped them
I still don't think Camila or Cara Maria would ever win a mental or strategic elimination round with Brandon, Luke or Vinny--maybe Noor.
But at least they wouldn't have had to go into the first 3 elminations. And who knows maybe Camilla and Vinny could have been great together at puzzles haha.

Bradon is not a coward...but his reasoning for not wanting to go in the Arena that episode was stupid...It doesn't matter what you did on past challenges..that doesn't mean you get a free pass from competing and plus there are only FOUR of you on this team and Eric is not going to go in every damn time (although he should).
But regardless he is still tolerable.
So FM should be getting a break from the Arena for awhile now, right? I mean, what's the point of throwing in Big Easy every week? Might as well keep a weak pair around and focus on breaking up stronger teams for awhile.

No because being the only 2 person team, they will most likely get last place of this next challenge.
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;321726]No because being the only 2 person team, they will most likely get last place of this next challenge.[/QUOTE]
True. I guess I meant they shouldn't be voted in for awhile.
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;321726]No because being the only 2 person team, they will most likely get last place of this next challenge.[/QUOTE]
No. It's because if someone in the alliance gets last place, they would rather go against Eric and Camila in a mental challenge than Brooklyn or St. Thomas.
I think it would be awesome if the challenge is something that having less players is an advantage and Eric and Camila pull off a win, send in San Diego, and start destroying that alliance.
Wishful thinking, I know.
[QUOTE=Seminole;321740]They need to have an eating challenge similar to the one from Battle of the Sexes 2. That way, at least Eric can win that one![/QUOTE]
If you watched The Duel, you will know that Eric doesn't like eating missions. Just because he's big doesn't mean he'll eat anything
[QUOTE=Sloan;321727]True. I guess I meant they shouldn't be voted in for awhile.[/QUOTE]
Yes they should. In fact They should get thrown in Every single time until they go home IMO.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;321753]Yes they should. In fact They should get thrown in Every single time until they go home IMO.[/QUOTE]
That is a horrible strategy. Eric and Camila aren't a threat, so you keep them around and get rid of other teams that are not in your alliance.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;321753]Yes they should. In fact They should get thrown in Every single time until they go home IMO.[/QUOTE]
Why? Keep them for the final because they have no shot to beat you. Or at least keep them until someone in your alliance needs a weak opponent to go against in a mental/strategist elimination round.
Okay look...I know it's smarter to keep them there but honestly I just don't want them anywhere near the final...I shrudder to think of another Camilla win(even though it's not likely).
If you're playing the game to win the most money, you keep Eric and Camilla around. We'll see how smart these rookies really are by how long this team is kept around. Problem is, Eric and Camilla most likely will be sent in automatically for finishing last.
