The Challenge: Favorite/Fantasy Casts

Fresh Meat, with rookies who've never appeared on a Challenge as the fresh meat Jemmye Carroll and Eric Patrick Jessica McCain and Jay Gotti Jonna Mannion and Thomas Buell KellyAnne Judd and Will Gilbert Ruthie Alcaide and Brian Williams Sarah Rice and Andrew Woods Trishelle Cannatella and Bronne Bruzgo Ashley Mitchell and Dustin Zito Averey Tressler and Trey Weatherholtz Erika Wasilewski and Brad Fiorenza Hailey Chivers and Cohutta Grindstaff Jamie Larson and Ryan Knight Jenny Delich and Ty Ruff Joi Niemeyer and Jordan Wiseley

Rivals 3: Laurel and Theresa (Free Agents) Averey and Nia (Portland) Emily and Cara Maria (Rivals II) Jonna and Camila (Rivals) Arielle and Ashley M. (Ex-Plosion) Kimberly and Brianna (Hollywood) Jamie and Hailey (Ex-Plosion) Landon and Derrick (Inferno II) Brad and Darrell (The Ruins) Jordan and Bananas (Free Agents) Wes and Leroy (Rivals II) Dustin and Frank (Battle of the Seasons) Knight and Marlon (Rivals II) Zach and Alton (Battle of the Seasons)

I would hate for Marlon to get saddled with Knight for Rivals 3.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;415563]Terrible alumni[/QUOTE] Why? On the competition side? I tried to stay away from extremes on both sides (i.e. Rachel/CT vs. Casey/Preston) to make it fairer.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;415568]Why? On the competition side? I tried to stay away from extremes on both sides (i.e. Rachel/CT vs. Casey/Preston) to make it fairer.[/QUOTE] Its fair I guess but the teams are so weak it doesn't matter

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;415563]Terrible alumni[/QUOTE] The alumni cast doesn't seem that weak to me. There are a few weak links in there, but that will always be the case on any challenge. I think it's a good mix of seasoned veterans and players from the newer generation.This cast actually mixed things up and threw some different people in there who don't get shoved down our throats season after season like CT and Johnny.

Poor Sarah gets another probably bad partner, Dustin has no shot with Ashley M, maybe Jordan & Joi Erika & Brad could do well if Erica doesn't quit. Hailey & Cohutta could be a dark horse. TY & Jenny are a hilarious pair considering how similar they are. Personally I'd replace Jemmye & Jessica with Nany & maybe Cara Maria for competition reasons

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;415572]Its fair I guess but the teams are so weak it doesn't matter[/QUOTE] It's hard to say since there's so many first timers. But the alumni are all decent aside from Knight, Jemmye, and Trishelle.

Why does everyone hate Jemmye?

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;415596]Why does everyone hate Jemmye?[/QUOTE] Don't start this debate again.

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;415596]Why does everyone hate Jemmye?[/QUOTE] I love Jemmye, she is one of my favorites. I respect people's opinions but I don't understand the hate for her either.

[QUOTE=melm3;415598]Don't start this debate again.[/QUOTE] I've never heard a debate before. All I ever hear is I rather have anyone cast then Jemmye and its like why?

She is just annoying 3. She is kinda ugly(just saying what I read online and how I feel) 4. She isn't a good competitor( LaToya beat her and I love Toya but she's not good) 5.she never shuts up about Knight 6. She's super trashy 7. Her and Knight's drama is painful to watch 8. Camila had to baby sit her all rivals 2 9. People overate her performance on rivals 2 because she had a great partner

And who cares if she isn't a good competitor? Not everyone is. And Camilla deserved to babysit her. She had no business there anyways.

[QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;415708]I like the California team here. Jenny is still an unknown, but the other 3 members of that team are pretty hard to beat.[/QUOTE] So what other teams do you think are strong?

California, Massachusetts, and Michigan are all strong teams. I'm assuming Cory will be strong and Lauren could be decent.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;415710]So what other teams do you think are strong?[/QUOTE] The toughest competition for California would probably be Massachusetts, Texas, and Michigan.

[QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;415715]The toughest competition for California would probably be Massachusetts, Texas, and Michigan.[/QUOTE] I agree, plus once they get rid of the weak links Missouri & Florida would be very strong IMO

With all the recent talk, Rivals 3: Brad/Camila Laurel/Abram Bananas/Cara Maria Jessica/Jordan Nia/Johnny R Nany/Frank S Tori/Frank R Okay I am stuck here, someone feel free to updated this with more pairs. Either way, very strong cast thus far.

[QUOTE=Raymond21;415892]Jordan and Theresa? Rivals 2?[/QUOTE] Yeah it was then tbh I didn't want to put Jessica there so I went with her

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;415893]Yeah it was then tbh I didn't want to put Jessica there so I went with her[/QUOTE] Jordan/LaToya would also be a good fit.
