[QUOTE=JL81790;395382]After thinking about it I think I like this format. Being randomly put into elimination kind of sucks, but the last three or four shows there was really no reason to win challenges, especially if you had the right alliances. Most of the time the goal was never to win...it just was to not come in last. Now you have to win to be guaranteed the right to not go in.
[B]Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it's basically either an individual, pair, or team day, somehow the pairs/teams are decided and then the winning person/pair/team picks one person among the losers to go in and all the other losers have to draw those cards to see if they're safe? I think that's pretty decent.[/B][/QUOTE]
That's what it looks like to me. In the trailer we see Jonna and a male in jerseys and Devyn and Camila in regular clothing:

[QUOTE=AshKelseyFan;395385]So are CM, Laurel, Devyn, Theresa and Nany the final 5 girls? Because they're the only ones competing in that physical challenge...[/QUOTE]
There is a sixth girl in a blue jersey, but she is not in the arena with the other five.
So we got Dustin vs Frank in the Pegged elimination round like from Inferno 2, Nia in Reverse Tug of War from Gauntlet 2 had to be against Aneesa the way she flew backwards, Preston in Corner Ball from Inferno 3 against Johnny Riley I believe, and We got Jordan vs Bananas they probably face off in elimination. I am a little confused on how it's an individual game but a lot of them are wearing the same color jerseys.

Apparently the challenges rotate between being individual, paired, and team. They all probably wear the black with their numbers on it for eliminations and individual and then they get colored jerseys based on teams and pairs...which makes sense since it doesn't look like the colored jerseys have names on them (but I'm not 100% positive).
Edit: Scratch that...colored jerseys have names on them.
And it's Cohutta/Preston in corner ball.

-Not sure how "Nia vs. Aneesa" came from that...could have been anybody.
-JL got me on the Preston/Cohutta match-up
-Don't be too wrapped up with "Jordan vs. Bananas." You know how MTV loves to edit things in.

Your right after a second look you can see Cohutta's name
I think the season starts off with a competition to determine "teams" there's a Red team, Yellow team, Purple team, and a Blue team the players in the black jerseys are the Free Agents fighting each other to get on a team because we see a lot of black jerseys facing eachother.
here is the trailer on Youtube for anyone who has any problems with the website :)

I cannot for the life of me understand the people on here proclaiming after a one minute teaser this Challenge is going to suck and OMG this is the wrong cast.
We're on a Challenge message board so there are always going to be people passionate about certain players or the way things use to be or what have you.
Would you rather the show be cancelled? With the amount some people on here complain I'm shocked you even come on a message board to discuss it.
I've seen every season since the first Battle of the Seasons and haven't missed a single one. Some were better than others. However, even the worst Challenge season had great moments and in my opinion is still better than all other reality shows out there except for maybe The Amazing Race (which really needs freshening up).
For me, I'm just glad The Challenge is back. I don't like all the new kids but guess what, the people who used to do the show move on. Realistically, this could be Bananas or CT's last Challenge. Whether you like them or not, they have left a legacy on this show and kept it from being cancelled. Without the success of Rivals 1, I bet this show would have already been cancelled.
So, I encourage all of you to keep an open mind. The cast has been declaring it the best season ever so that tells me this season could be off the charts.
Sit back and enjoy the ride and wait until the season is underway or over before you decide it's going to stink.

People will always find reason to complain. The best thing to do is ignore it, because if you don't they will complain about you complaining about their complaints. It's a vicious cycle.
Lol everybody that isn't the whole trailer... The full length trailer will be at the end of Explosion.
Yall really think there wasn't any drama with this cast.
[QUOTE=DarkFights;395425]why does it feel like this Trailer is incomplete[/QUOTE]
It seems more like the short trailers that air immediately after the first episode, the "This season on..." promos.
Yeah, I'm not fond of the people saying that the trailer determines the quality for the whole season. This is really just a teaser and we're going to get the juicy stuff tonight.
And for those of you saying that you "hate that it's not Veronica and Beth anymore" get the hell over it. You'd be just as annoyed if the same people were on 15 seasons in a row. Having a big pool to choose from creates new stars and new storylines. Stop whining about what is arguably the best reality show.
Quick thoughts after seeing the trailer over & over:
- Admittedly I was also disappointed that the trailer was one minute long, but it is the first trailer and I'm sure there will be an extended version of this trailer going up on MTV.com tonight or after Real World. However, I'm just excited it will be back since it's been a long time I've been waiting for this show (I didn't watch Ex-Plosion, which is the second season I haven't watched in its entirety since San Diego 2).
- They love rehashing some of these challenges from the past. With Rivals 2, most of the challenges were variations of what they've done before -- so I'm beginning to think this one will be the same thing, just changed up to adapt to the terrain or remixed a little bit.
- While I'm not sure how it's running, it does look like they switch between single, duos, and teams for missions -- which is an interesting twist to things. But overall, you're still playing for yourself and you really only need your team to win.
- The one solo mission where it says you don't need to depend on your crummy partner and Sarah opts out not to take part in. Poor Sarah.
- Judging by the eliminations, it looks like rather than the whole cast being chosen at random to face off in an elimination it appears just a team will be. Maybe the rest of the losing team or something, still not sure but while it's random it appears there's still a fixed aspect to it considering that largely the same people make it to the end. The random fact is great though. It could potentially be contrived, but the suspense will certainly be there.
- Minus a few, this is probably some of the best chosen of this new generation of cast members. I miss some of the old people too, but we're in a new Challenge age. Embrace it.
Can't wait for this Challenge! If only CT was at his peak like on the Duel he would no doubt win this whole thing.
I hope there's some injuries, some fistfights, and a lot of beef this time around.
I wonder if CT is going to shave off that beard for the final.
