[QUOTE=JustinS76;376822]I just find it funny why she gets hate for sleeping around. They get paid to vacation around the world, free alcohol and same house. 90% of the 20-30 year olds would do the same thing if given the opportunity.[/QUOTE]

You're giving Devyn way too much credit. No way she beats Jemmye, Emilee, or Jessica in an elimination.
[QUOTE=molds13;376838]When elimination spoilers start rolling in (which they likely won't for a while), the title of this thread will be changed to say SPOILERS. That will be your warning.[/QUOTE]
Will you reopen the locked thread at that time for non-spoilers?
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;376855]I did notice in one of her YouTube videos cara maria was wearing a blue cutthroat one with her name on it but she was on the gray team[/QUOTE]
I think that was because the teams weren't predetermined. So they had to make jerseys in each color for every player since they didn't know what team they'd be on. Then they gave them the other colors as part of their under armour bag of merchandise. I remember Brandon auctioning off his non-Red Team cutthroat jerseys.
Even though you'd think he'd want to get rid of the Red one first...
[QUOTE=JustinS76;376845]Carley told me herself she got the initial call, but they never called her back. They didn't want her.[/QUOTE]
Well then Cara lied. If you notice on he show her name is like duck taped on and the jersey is 2 sizes too big. Cara explained the jersey was meant for Carley but she had to drop out.
Carley has said she was contacted for seasons but said she wasn't apart of the final cast, that doesn't mean she never got a call back, which she did because she did testing for the challenge.

What is this ranking? I'm guessing your favorites because this can't be based on performance prediction or athleticism.

either way it seems pretty accurate speculation.

oh she told me specifically that she never received a call back, but she could have been lying as I dont know her personally.
People are really sleeping on Chet. On the Vets team I'd rank him below Leroy and just a hair above Ty (who are after CT and Johnny of course). Ty has animal strength that Chet definitely doesn't have (Chet definitely couldn't do to Abram what Ty did in round two of X-Play, or in the 1st round of Pole push against Brandon), but Chet easily has swimming, puzzles, endurance and possibly climbing on Ty.
He impressed the hell out of me on Battle of the Seasons. If they had cut JD and Devyn loose before the final Chet and Sarah would've won it handily.
Chet has only loss to Wes right? Then he got sent home, and made the finals? Losing to Wes is nothing to be ashamed of either, he is one of the better people to go into eliminations.

Yup and he won 2 on BOTS. Granted one was against seriously subpar competition, but I think Knot So Fast (which he beat Cara and Brandon in) was one of the most physically demanding eliminations in a while. He also finished a half mile swim on Cutthroat after getting that concussion. He's very underrated.
His problem on this season is that he's lacking in alliance possibilities on his team. He didn't get along with Johnny or Ty on Cutthroat, never did a show with Leroy or CT, and no one wants to roll with Easy.

I could see how his personality could rub some people the wrong way easily, but I really enjoyed what he brought to two of the 3 seasons. I didn't really follow Battle of the Seasons as I hate Frank that much.

We never seen Chet climb, don't know how he'd be above Ty though as that takes upper body strength. And have we seen him solve a puzzle? Keep in mind he was paired with Sarah every time. I'd say the only thing he may have on Ty is endurance and swimming. But that's still unsure because Ty's gotten much better at swimming since Cutthroat and there was no endurance mission on Rivals 2 to really test him on.
I'd say the vet men rank: CT, Johnny, Leroy, Ty, Chet, Brandon, EZ... Leroy and Ty being interchangeable.
Lexblair, were you the one to say that a guy dropped out last minute but you didn't think he'd last long anyway? And if you did say that, were you talking about Dunbar?

Throughout the final the comments from the confessionals were "Chet and Sarah are going to do this puzzle in two seconds" never just Sarah and never the entirety of team Brooklyn. There was some respect for Chet's puzzle solving and if I recall Ty and Emily were collectively pretty terrible at puzzles on Exes.

I remember ty trying to climb in the elimination with him and brandon vs Kenny and Wes and He didn't do that well. Brandon and Wes both out climbed him. I think Chet is under rated. He may not be as strong as other competitors but I do think he's got pretty good endurance and core strength.

Actually, it was Preston.. that's why I found it weird when he was first on the official list. He wasn't even on my radar after that,bc apparently he is doing pretty good for himself without the challenges, he does producing for some shows, or something along these lines.

He's good, I am just predicting how people will rank on the teams with everything taking into account... politics, relationship, etc...

That's interesting and good to know....
I know you said that some oldies were called like Mark, Brad and Tori but do you know if other newer vets were contacted but declined? Dunbar, Nehemiah, etc..?

I would but did not agree with the other half of that post.

I think nostalgic was referring to 90% of people in their 20-30s would be sleeping around with anybody and everybody on a vacation like the challenge, not the actual vacation aspect.
I agree there are several people in their 20s and 30s that are tragic enough to do that, but 90% is an extreme exaggeration
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;376887]Chet can hold his own. He is a pretty solid competitor.
Also I heard Paula dropped out because Tyler did? Why would she just because Tyler did?[/QUOTE]
Why does paula do anything she does?
Am i only the only who thinks this but I think we get more character development on the challenges with the cast rather than their respective season or is it just me who thinks this?
Also, Tyler is way too girly for me. I never could stand him.
