[QUOTE=Blue123;313744]Lol Jenn and Derrick are great at puzzles! There was a lot of puzzles on the rivals finale that I'm sure Jenn/Mandi did great on, and Jenn/Mandi were so good at remembering the camp site thing on rivals and they did a wonderful job of setting up the tent haha. And Derrick showed his awesome reading abilities during that challenge on the ruins where he was yelling "what do I do with the bag" when there was a sign right in front of him thus costing them the challenge, and on the ruins finale Kenny told him to sit down because he wasnt being any help with the puzzles. Lol I feel like an *** hole point that out but those were some funny times :D[/QUOTE]
Hence it was a "big assumption"
Emily would have likely needed to remember the majority of the street signs
Although if the Red team didn't have Tyler they may have gotten it wrong as well.
[QUOTE=Blue123;313465]No I think she's doing the whole retired thing because everyone hates her and I guess she can't deal with all the hate, which is kinda sad considering it's just a tv show. That's just my opinion on why she retired, she even deleted her twitter, I'm guessing because people were tweeting mean stuff. Not a Jenn fan myself either and I agree with the rest of what you said, and Noor was one of the better FM guys, don't know why that other guy said he sucked. She's not Casey bad but she really is all talk, too bad she retired before winning one though, when you keep making to the end, eventually you will get lucky and win.
She should come back, a lot of people think Cara Maria is annoying now. Lol the Cara/Jenn thing was the beginning of the Cara puts her foot in her mouth saga. [B]Back then I didn't think Cara was doing anything wrong by saying Jenn is having sex with Adam but now I think she has a problem with revealing other people's private business.[/B][/QUOTE]
No, I don't agree at all. Cara Maria had every right to say that out loud about Jenn and Adam. One, Jenn needed to be called out in front of everyone like that. Two, it was true and Jenn was too scared to go into a Jungle so she lied and said it didn't happen when I'm sure it did, I mean look at the show. Three, the Rivals show was all about having your partners back and that's what Cara Maria was doing for Laurel. The Mob was reprimanding Laurel for hanging out with CT, but didn't see anything wrong with Jenn hooking up with Adam. It's not private business, they're on a television show, your not gonna keep anything private that airs on TV.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;313466]I didn't say Noor sucked. I said he was the weakest guy in the final (Landon, Kenny & Pete) that's all. Noor definitely wasn't overly impressive but he was solid. They got as far as they did because Jenn wisely played both sides of the house until she had to pick one.
Whether you like or hate Jenn or if you're completely indifferent towards her--she gets to finals. Period. No one has to like to her but she does play a strong strategic game. That's key in these. No one is pretending she's on par with Evelyn, Laurel, Emily, etc in terms of being a competitor but there's huge benefits to being on a team with her.[/QUOTE]
Your right, Noor didn't suck, but I will agree that he was a bust. He went first in the draft for the guys, didn't do **** the entire game, made it to the end, and got dead last by a long shot. On top of that, he was boring to watch, which is why he probably hasn't been back since Fresh Meat II.
But your wrong about Jenn. She doesn't play a strategic game at all. She gets to the end every time because of who her friends are in each challenge. For FM2 it was Kenny, in Cutthroat she didn't play any strategy she was on a team with 3 rookies and Katie, of coarse she is gonna make it to the end, and in Rivals she was friends with Johnny, Kenny, Evan, Tyler, etc. The only time I will give Jenn credit for playing a strategic game was on the Island when she threw her Face Off against Paula to ensure that she was safe and got a key. Other than that Jenn doesn't prove herself in eliminations, nor in challenges, and she has no strategic game.
An example of a strategic game is the Evelyn vs. KellyAnne set up in The Ruins, Wes/Evelyn setting up Kenny vs. Sarah in FM2, Evan sending in Landon on The Duel 2, Johnny/Kenny promising Evelyn a stop on their boat if she didn't take Johnny's key on The Island, Evelyn saying she won't take Johnny's key and then she actually did. Those are strategic games.
[QUOTE=arilicious;313473]I don't hate Jenn at all! I've always thought she was a a solid player and I was hoping she was gonna have her Paula moment and eventually win one, and I think if JEK wouldn't keep coming back every challenge, then she could've won one by now. I don't understand why people hate her or think she's a *****, she never really did anything all that *****y in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
You've got it wrong, if JEK didn't come back every time, she would go home first because her friends aren't there to back her up. Look what happened on the one challenge she did without Johnny and Kenny, she got her *** kicked by Diem on The Duel 2.
Actually Cara Maria said that Jenn and Mandi never completed a mission on camp on Rivals finale. Production let them go because it was too late or smth like that.
Well I don't think Jenn should be considered a bad player just because she and Mandi had no idea how to set up a tent (although Jenn did have to go camping in Denver, but w/e). So maybe the other contestants have more camping experience or something? Neither Jenn nor Mandi come off as the types of girls to me who go camping often.
Jenn did well on Duel 2. She won 2/3 duels, she always gave it her all in missions. Most of Duel 2 was a partner challenge anyways, and Landon and Brittini mainly won all the challenges together because they were just a better team at working together. I don't even remember who Jenn's partner was for much of the challenges.
[QUOTE=mizwood;313841]Big Easy was with Katie and Derek was with Jenn.[/QUOTE]
After Katie was sent home, Big Easy teamed up with Jenn in the challenge where Easy crushed a ********. Also, Derek was paired up with Kim on that challenge. I think it was ep. 6.
Not sure why jenns getting so much hate. Ya she's a B- competitor at best, but socially she is the best girl hands down. She played really good strategic games on the island and fm2 by being on both sides of the alliances and then switching to the dominant sides at the right times, and she somehow stayed out of eliminations on cutthroat and rivals. She's pretty much the exact same player as coral, very strong socially and just good enough of a competitor to get by. I'm not saying she would be my top choice to be my partner, or even in my top 5 (1. Emily 2. Ev 3. Laurel 4. Rachel 5. Paula) but I would be happy if she was my partner and if I had been on fm2 she would have been my 2nd choice to draft me behind paula (since ev didnt get to pick her partner)
[QUOTE=mizwood;313841]Big Easy was with Katie and Derek was with Jenn.[/QUOTE]
Derek was never Jenn's partner. Jenn partnered with Eric two of the four team challenges on The Duel 2. Then she partnered with Ryan for one and Nehemiah for another. Eric only partnered with Katie once.
I used to get annoyed by Kenny,Paula and Johnny etc but then I realized that a free trip across the globe 1-2 a year is very rare chance for most 20 year old to get and that I actually will miss those 3 and Wes if they stop doing challenges. I can count the number of Interesting Real Worlders they currently have on one or two hands and I'm not excited for the rookies takeover. I hope they can get a balance cast like Fresh Meat-Gauntlet 3. The only way they can continue to make the new school interesting is by forcing guaranteed drama like Rivals and BOTEX. Sorry for the mini rant.
I don't mind having the same people come back multiple times, it's just the people that tend to do so are the people I don't really like, mostly because I find them more manipulative then actually being good players.
I just wanted to put this out there, I recently went back and watched a couple episode from The Gauntlet III and I must say, we need more challenges like that. I almost forgot how awesome it was.
One of my favorite seasons was The Gauntlet 2 because the teams were fairly even, the missions were good, the team captains concept was great - having the captain defend his/her spot on the team - we got to see Derrick go against Adam Larson, Ace, Syrus, Brad, and Timmy in very physical Gauntlets. We need more challenges like that where the best player proves him/herself in elimination and they have to have more physical eliminations; I hate puzzles and endurance elimination rounds.

Completely agree with you. It was amazing season. It was Derrick's season. It was really good. Missions, drama, funny moments. Loved it.
Agreed. Gauntlet 2 ranks up there in my top 5 with the first Gauntlet and Inferno, as well as BOTSexes and Seasons.
It had a great cast. It was a large cast with a great mix of old and new faces. And, probably not coincidentally, it was the last challenge before the Fresh Meat takeover.
However, it had probably the absolute worst final challenge of all seasons. I was thrilled the Rookies won, but that challenge was so stupid. IMO, of course.
These lists are hard...I guess my top 5 would be
1. The Gauntlet
2. The Duel II
3. The Inferno
4. The Gauntlet II (worst final though)
5. (tie) The Ruins & Cutthroat
I love the format of both the Ruins & Cutthroat. The results may not have been ideal but the format was great IMO. I hated Exes & Rivals simply because I don't like the "partner" elimination rounds.
My Top 5
1. The Duel
2. The Duel 2
3. Island
4. Cutthroat
5. Rivals
Off topic, will someone please be kind enough to PM me the format or speculated format of the next challenge.
I do not want to visit the Spoiler thread because I don't want to see the departure spoilers. Thank You!

Does anybody know the song Veronica is singing when she's near Brad?

What challenge(s) is that?
Cause TBH there's a lot of people there I don't recognize...

Its either Battle of the Sexes 2 or The Inferno II because those are the only two challenges Brad has done with Veronica other than The Ruins. But that clip was clearly not from The Ruins.
Hopefully the next challenge is old school vs new school. How awesome would it be to have Veronica, Rachel, Tina, Coral, Katie, Ruthie, Trishelle, Aneesa back on a challenge against girls like Laurel, Emily, Ev, KellyAnne it would be a dream.
