The Challenge: Free Agents - Speculation (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;381356]Amazon Prime is better for the unlimited 2 Day Shipping than the Streaming. Both Hulu and Amazon are fighting for second place behind NetFlix. It is well known fact within those circles that they try to get on NetFlix first. If they cannot, then they go for either Hulu or Amazon Prime. [B]NetFlix already looked at a deal from MTV for the Real World, Road Rules, and the Challenges but MTV refused to sell just those 3 shows as part of the package deal. They wanted 9 other (poorly made) reality shows lumped in with them for the deal so NetFlix turned them down.[/B][/QUOTE] Interesting to know that. I figured MTV would be greedy and want to throw some garbage in to make more money. I really have no idea what the execs there are thinking but it definitely is in favor of making themselves money instead of making the fans happy.

But shows like Teen Mom are not exactly something that NetFlix considers good enough to spend money on purchasing the streaming rights to. I completely understand it. If MTV had done just those three shows, then they would have been streaming not just in the US but also in the UK and Canada as well.

Although, Amazon Prime does stream Teen Mom and other MTV reality shows like Snooki and JWow. I just find it ridiculous that MTV doesn't make all their shows available through their own streaming capabilities and then won't sell them off. They are hoarding their property when they could be making some serious cash by making them available to the public. Even if they started selling the Challenge/Road Rules/Real World seasons on DVD people would buy those like wildfire.

Obviously they decided to go to Amazon Prime after NetFlix refused the additional shows being part of the price tag.

I wonder how the new season of Real World will affect the challenge. If the additional housemates are invited to challenges we may get up to 14 new competitors

let's hope the challenge and the real world both air in January just different days..maybe one on wednesday and one on thursday...that way they could start filming more seasons faster...they could film another challenge in the spring and then film another real world season in the summer???..idk that's how I would schedule it haha

[QUOTE=RobbioRobbio;381347]if its a Cutthroat sequel maybe they brought in Brad as one of the 'heavy hitters'[/QUOTE] now that would be fun to watch! or maybe he was the one to originally replace eric. but at this point who really knows, I hope brad is on it though somehow

[QUOTE=RobbioRobbio;381347]if its a Cutthroat sequel maybe they brought in Brad as one of the 'heavy hitters'[/QUOTE] Lol you can only be considered a heavy hitter if you have a good chance at beating someone like CT or zach in an elimination. I mean imagine brad coming in as a heavy hitter and getting demolished by. CT? Lol.

[QUOTE=RobbioRobbio;381368]I wonder how the new season of Real World will affect the challenge. If the additional housemates are invited to challenges we may get up to 14 new competitors[/QUOTE] Just 5 ex agree to do the There REal World, THat would be a total of 12 cast members.

Do you think they will do something unexpected for this challenge too? I'm glad they did this with the real world because I think they need something new to bring back the viewers!

Then why not just make a deal with youtube? like make an official Youtube channel and just put everything Real World/Road Rules/Challenge on there. Or better yet make an official website and do the same thing there.

Or have a wrestling elimination and instead of wrestling each other the competitors have to see who can spend the most time in the ring with Miz!

I'm glad nany's name hasn't been mentioned on the elimination list , I hope she makes it to the finals.

[QUOTE=stuufman;381402]I'm glad nany's name hasn't been mentioned on the elimination list , I hope she makes it to the finals.[/QUOTE] I hope, Nany, Theresa, Latoya, Jonna, Cara Maria, Nia, Devyn and Jasmine all appear on molds elimination list sometime in the near future.

Oddly enough I don't have any girls I want to see sent home. I like all the girls this season. Out of all, I hope Laurel, Camila, Jonna, and Nany all make the final. I'm glad Devyn's made it this far, too.

Is Swift on the cast molds? There are only 13 men listed Regardless, I'm glad it is official that Isaac is returning. I thought he was the one who disqualified Sydney from BOTS and wasn't going to be invited back. I'm glad to see otherwise!

[QUOTE=molds13;381413]Yes. I thought he was added to the original edit.[/QUOTE] He was removed like 3 days after you added him.

[QUOTE=Rossi;381389]Do you think they will do something unexpected for this challenge too? I'm glad they did this with the real world because I think they need something new to bring back the viewers![/QUOTE] I definitely think there will be some kind of format twist. Since they allowed the new RW cast to use smartphones in the house, would be interesting to see if they did the same for the challenge

[QUOTE=molds13;381420]Oh there is. There definitely is.[/QUOTE] So its a new format ?

Are there teams?

wow so we have an official, 100% cast with a new format 1. Brandon 2. Chet 3. CT 4. Johnny D 5. Leroy 6. Ty 7. Cohutta 8. Dustin 9. Johnny R 10. Jordan 11. Zach 12. Swift 13. Isaac 14. Preston 1. Aneesa 2. Camila 3. Cara Maria 4. Jasmine 5. Jonna 6. Laurel 7. Theresa 8. Devyn 9. Emilee 10. Jemmye 11. Jessica 12. Latoya 13. Nany 14. Nia

Yeah I know, just making sure lol

if its not a duel or partner challenge I would assume it has to be teams

[QUOTE=RobbioRobbio;381427]if its not a duel or partner challenge I would assume it has to be teams[/QUOTE] Or a new individual challenge.

[QUOTE=molds13;381425]Oh, you know I can't answer that yet...[/QUOTE] Are we getting elimination spoilers? or we have to wait until the season is done filming?
