The Challengers lost the season (well they were gonna lose anyway) the moment they won the third mission, Casey was nominated and they voted in Brianna instead. It wasn't the time to vote in a rookie. Danny, KellyAnne and Brad were dumb af.
I also wish Diem hadn't thrown her Ruins against Tonya. Not that the challengers would have faired better but Tonya would have been home before the toothbrush incident and possibly have gotten the help she needed much sooner.

I wish she had lost so the alleged sexual assault never took place but I dont believe she would have gotten help sooner. i think she would have continued the downward spiral and kept doing challenges if it wasn't for the incident with Veronica. JMO
it also just boils my skin why all the Champion boys just let Brad come into their room and antagonize Darrell. Then Derrick's ***** *** had the nerve to say he should have JUST pushed him down and walked away. There's 4 of you, support your teammate, take Brad out of the room and gaurd the door or something.

Ruins is such a hard watch man.
I attempted to watch it earlier. I got to the episode where Brianna, unfortunately, gets eliminated. And then I turned it off.

They wanted that shit to happen so Darrell can be gone. Let's be real. They weren't gonna get rid of him any other way.
But it's good to know that people see that season for the piece of **** it is.
this was actually super interesting to read! I didn't realize Paula was the first to hit 10. Does Abe really not get calls anymore? I mean he's insane, but I figured he made good tv for them lol.
Also was Darrell really supposed to be on FR as Cory's partner? Cory would be a champ by now if that was the cast. Would have been cool to see him back if that was true.
thanks! and yeah I believe John/Devin was an original team, then Dev had to fly home for his dad. so Tony was brought in. the original Merc teams were gonna be Tony/Madison, Cory/Darrell, and ... is that it? maybe only 2. Ashley/Hunter only became mercenaries because of Devin's dad's death I think
Mike Lewis Podcast put up a Laura from St Thomas interview and an Averey from Portland interview. Both were great! We were robbed of seeing both of them at least one more time imo. Laura and Trey def should have been on Exes 2. Anyways they're good listens just fyi
So I'm rewatching Vendettas and while I don't think it's the worst challenge ever, it's close, but it's been very hard to focus. I actually stopped watching midway when it was airing. The format is absolutely atrocious and the vendettas thing was forced (but what isn't?)

I agree with that except for Derrick. I think he was genuinely in shock and didn't know Brad/Darrell would go that far.
Trying to rewatch the Island for the first time since it came out. Struggled to make it to episode 4 and couldn't finish it. It might be worse than I even remembered.

hated that season. JEK - one of their worst seasons which is saying a lot. I feel like the format also scared away potential good rookies. It was just boring and also full of horrible people. Loved Rachel, Robin, Tonya, and Collie lol
Yeah I remember on the spoilers page that they were all set to go and then Darrell was dropped for Devin (horrible decision but given the situation very understandable).
It would've been crushing to see Darrell DQ because of Cory though so maybe a blessing in disguise

I remember KellyAnne was mortified after that challenge and said she and a lot of the girls had to do counseling. It was way worse than what was showed and that already was really bad.
Then the Ruins happened and those conditions were also not great and that's what scared her off, which is sad given she was one of the greatest rookies in that era.

Tonya and Robin were absolute trainwrecks at that point. Tonya going home first that season was probably best.

Averey had her chance.. or chances. Whereas Laura deserved at least one more.
I just think with all the shit Laura talked, I would have liked to see her either back it up or get tossed around, and doing it individually too

What? Lol she was basically on the same amount of challenges as Laura.

It would be interesting to see reactions if viewers if Ruins aired today...

**** a Cory / Darrell team would have been epic.

Does anyone have a list of people that were nearly cast for either of the War of the World seasons & were dropped by production or just declined?
the 'challenge what could have been' thread has a great list for most seasons!
Thanks, Psy!

KellyAnne deserved to be on better challenges. Even Bloodlines and Rivals 3 were so bad. I wish she was on Seasons 2 like originally planned, ugh.
Averey had her chance.. or chances. Whereas Laura deserved at least one more.
