[QUOTE=JamieFire;436778]She was a let down... especially to poor Darrell.... I never saw CM as a stong competitor until FA though... [B]I've always thought she was weird and whiney.[/B][/QUOTE]
She still is.
[QUOTE=DarkFights;436779]All she does is whine and cry, she thinks everyone is going after her when no one is giving a **** about her, she starts rumors about some cast members and never apologizes for it, she rejected Abram when he wass just trying to look out for her, she thinks she's always unlucky in the draw, jungles...when Jordan/Marlon and Laurel & Bananas went in just as much as she did and didn't give a damn plus her tweets are the most annoying thing about her.
Basically she annoys the hell out of me.[/QUOTE]
Ok, gotcha. I get all those, she often tweets about the same thing over and over. And I recently saw that Battle of the Exes screening room thing where she was like "Didn't Johnny take Camila's virginity?" and I thought it was way out of line.
[QUOTE=27502;436751]Lol at 125k not being a lot for 6 weeks. 99 percent of the population will never make that much $ in such a short time period[/QUOTE]
THIS.
Debut Album is just ignorant. Even if they do get taxes taken out they'll still be getting about $100k for a month and a halfs worth of work. Name one person that you know who can get a bonus of $100k in one month. Hell, name one person that you know that makes $60k or $30k in a month in a half.

Bahahahaha!!!!! Cosigning. But again... I'm just jealous that she gets Abram so I'll forever be sipping on that haterade.

She obviously did that on purpose and then tried to play dumb about it, sooo annoying. Camila was apparently really pissed which I don't blame her at all.
[QUOTE=riggins;436777]I really hoped Free Agents wasn't the last we've seen of Laurel. I don't want her to become the female Bananas either, but I enjoy watching her so much. She's tough, opinionated, a good competitor and she's beauuutiful. [B][U]Plus it upsets me to think how easily her and CT could have gotten to the finals if she participated in the next season haha.[/U][/B]
I also don't think she's a good singer, but she's not terrible either lol.[/QUOTE]
Upsets me too, no one deserves a free pass to the final.

In a perfect world they would only take 25k in taxes. 40-44% of the overall check probably gets taxed with these shows. Paula even mentioned in an interview after Rivals 2 that she was waiting for the IRS to take half of it so she could figure out what to do with it.
[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;436785]Upsets me too, no one deserves a free pass to the final.[/QUOTE]
I don't mean like that lol, I mean even if they went in several times to the Dome or whatever, they probably would have come back. Laurel's never skated by without going into elimination rounds, CT has but not her.

I'm sorry but her personality sucks and everyone didn't want her around (FM2, Cutthroat, Rivals, Rivals 2) to me that's gotta say something about her character.
Basically she annoys the hell out of me.[/QUOTE]
I agree with all of this. All she did on Free Agents was act like she was so deserving of the final and play the poor caramaria card when guess what Bananas/Laurel had to go in just as much as you. There are sometimes where I'm like she isn't that bad but overall she annoys me way too much when she plays viticm all the time.

If they were on exes 2 you would HOPE the rest of the cast members would be smart enough to try to get rid of CT and Laurel.

IT'S STILL NOT ALOT OF MONEY!!! That's basically Chump Change.

They won't. People have a tendency to play stupid or Scared on these things.

I feel like the Boston boys wouldn't be throwing CT in no matter what. And Bananas and him were pretty much in agreement not to send each other in till towards the end in the original exes. So they might have been sitting pretty, but maybe the others in the house would have thrown them in lol.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436791]IT'S STILL NOT ALOT OF MONEY!!! That's basically Chump Change.[/QUOTE]
Lol I WISH I could have that chump change! Hahaha but I don't think the cash prize is that bad.... especially when it was paired with awesome prizes and a nice vacation.... back in the day lol.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436792]They won't. People have a tendency to play stupid or Scared on these things.[/QUOTE]
Which really sucks... I'm not a fan of Jordan but it was cool to see him go after bananas, we need more ballsy guys.

Hmmm I can't even think of anyone willing to go against CT.. especially if he was paired with laurel.... I'm sure the girls would vote to get rid of laurel but idk who has the guts to go for Ct..other than bananas and even then he waits until the end haha.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436791]IT'S STILL NOT ALOT OF MONEY!!! That's basically Chump Change.[/QUOTE]
I do think that they were under payed maybe for the Rivals finale and third place walking away with what will likely be taxed down to ~12K sucks but the 100K for six weeks isn't chump change. Someone who pulls in 100K for six months is making 800K on the year. That's about 16 times the median income in the US. Obviously it isn't a year's salary, but I'm sure Laurel and Bananas are more than pleased with the month that they had.
It was probably an even bigger deal back when Wes won the Duel. It was the same amount of money but that was at the point in the show where these guys were probably making in the six figures off the screen just doing bar tours and speaking gigs...prior to so many reality shows and so much "talent" to choose from.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;436704]Well then they should scale down these challenges then. These challenges are way too extreme for the amount of money their playing for.[/QUOTE]
If you want to see a scaled down Challenge you might want to watch Big Brother or Bad Girls All Star Battle because scaling it down would just ruin the show. I don't see why you think they are entitled to some massive amount of money.

I don't know if you've ever seen are you the one? But they were giving away a million to be split if all contestants successfully found their perfect match. I thought that was a huge cash prize especially for a brand new show.

I could never get into that show. My guess is that they was hoping the cast failed and it backfired.

Look at the Challenges they do and look at the Final challenges nowadays...That Final challenge on Free Agents is worth ALOT more than just 125,000 in my opinion. I'm not saying that they should be like those shows you mentioned. They can find some sort of middle ground..Actually if they keep doing challenges similar to Seasons 2 and Free Agents I'll be fine with that.

They are getting a appearance fee and they are voluntarily hopping on a plane to a place they've never been knowing their is a possibility they'll walk away not winning. Half of these people know they aren't going to win and they only go because it'll help them continue getting booked when they go back home. If money was really a concern they wouldn't quit their day job like the ones who have decided not to return or appear at all.

That's only if you win which is rare considering they haven't been doing team challenges in a while. The appearance fee isn't high at all. Plus you use your own money to buy drinks at the bar now and the cast get fined A LOT for stupid things. "Oh you're stepping out in the yard? $100 fine". The fine money is taken away from your appearance fee money. I think it was Abram who said he got fined $1000 on one of the recent challenges.
Remember when the cast would win brand new cars if they won the final or even a mission? Veronica and Darrell won 2 cars in 1 year!!!
I agree the missions/finals need to be toned down. Now cast members only go on the challenge for the appearance fee and then purposely lose in elimination.
I weirdly have like 0 feelings about the cast list for next season. If Marie and Robb show up I'll be rooting for them, I like their drunken brazen NY attitudes. Otherwise anyone could win and I'll be ok.
I really really don't like Trey though lol.
If I remember correctly Wes was smart and invested money he won in start-ups which is why he doesn't have a issue with the money or the challenges. Maybe a few others should take a hint or two.
[QUOTE=achedcobra;436806]So is there any new news that is challenge related?[/QUOTE]
Not that I've seen. The cast is pretty easy to figure out other than a couple of pairings (Leroy, Jordan, Wes's partners, etc.). I doubt anymore news will pop up until departure.

So it's safe to say Jordan is paired with Nia. I think that makes the most sense.
[QUOTE=WittyWrath;436815]So it's safe to say Jordan is paired with Nia. I think that makes the most sense.[/QUOTE]
Unless Sarah is going, then it'll be Leroy/Nia and Jordan/Sarah. That leaves Theresa with Wes, which is a ridiculous stretch IMO. If Alton is going then it's Leroy/Theresa, Jordan/Nia, Alton/Sarah, and Wes/?. There's still a few variables left to figure out, other than that the cast seems pretty obvious.
Actually, I think there's just people I don't want to win instead of people I do want to lol. I don't want Trey, Nia, Sarah or Jordan to win yet. And definitely not Theresa, Zach (again), Jonna or Jay. Honestly I'm not even a huge Bananas fan but I kind of want him to take it again.
Idk what's wrong with me I don't even dislike these people I just don't want them to win [I]this[/I] time.
