Cherrypie I wouldn't have said any of that stuff if I thought it were to be 3-4 months.
Hmm I recall Johnny talking about filming lasting 6 weeks for rivals.

But never less than a month.
Okay another challenge face off! Which season do you think is better? The Inferno 3 or The Ruins? I go for the Inferno 3. Because I felt that challenge had a better feel to it and it had Okay drama and it also didn't have JEK running everything(Even though Kenny and John were there they were on opposite teams and didn't have the entire cast up their *** like they do nowadays). So how about you all?
The Ruins. I'll take most challenges over Inferno 3 though. There was nothing memorable from that season at all IMO.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;284395]Okay another challenge face off! Which season do you think is better? The Inferno 3 or [B]The Ruins?[/B][/QUOTE] The ruins! It revamped the series for me and reminded me why I loved the challenges soo much. I remember a lot of people from my school watching that season
I'll go with Inferno 3 - because as someone mentioned above, it was pre-JEK running everything. Plus that was back when Derrick was a leader and didn't just act like Johnny or Kenny's puppet.
I also liked Inferno 3 more. The teams were more even and it didn't have the JEK alliance.
Overall I prefer the Ruins because of the awesome cast, but it was missing one person, Cara. Cara and Susie made the Inferno 3 a great season. If the Ruins had had Cara and Susie together again it would have been epic, imo.
I am going to go with The Ruins. Though I wish it had been more competitive between the two teams. The drama was a lot better in my opinion on The Ruins. Inferno 3's most memorable events were Timmy's speech and CT punching Davis. Also, unlike everyone else, I enjoy JEK running the game.

Come on i knew who was gunna win once i found out the format. I liked the Inferno 3 also, because of the cast and the fairly split teams. [QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;284417]I am going to go with The Ruins.

I didn't like them all of The Ruins and The Island, but when it's only one of them (ie. The Duel II, Fresh Meat II, Cutthroat) I do root for them (not solely them, but I like them better.)
Inferno 3 easily. Teams were evenly divided. There were big fights between CT and Davis, Susie and Tonya, Cara/Susie vs the Good Guys, Aneesa and Ev. So it had the drama it had good missions and was equal. I thought the cast was amazing with some old school mixed with new school. And I'd say its the best winning team to date. 2 RW, 2 RR, 2 FM (3 men 3 women) winners all great competitors and diverse and entertaining. Inferno 3 is THE most underrated season to date.
[QUOTE=TSPKM2;284433]Inferno 3 is THE most underrated season to date.[/QUOTE]Teehee, literally the most underrated season. Nobody watched it. :sarcastic:

For me it's a toss up because both Inferno 3 and The Ruins had things I liked and didn't like. I liked the Inferno 3 because the teams were evenly matched which made the competition so close which I really liked, but I really didn't like the cast besides Ace, Johnny, and Kenny the cast was really boring. I also liked the Ruins because of the Champions vs Challengers was a great Idea and Ruins matchups were fun to watch, but I didn't like how the Challengers team was so weak and the Champions steam rolled the competition.

It started out entertaining with Wes screwing his team and all of that but as soon as everybody got over that it was a one sided beat down, very boring. Same goes with the Gaunlet 2. I hated that season because of how terrible the challengers were. That was one of the worst teams I had ever seen. Frank kept me entertained and Nehemiah did some work. Jillian was the only female holding it down and the rest of the show was a another slaying. That's why today I am really hesitant to have challenge where the rookies are taking on vets. I don't want anymore one sided thrashing. (Of course, if there was a show where JEK was getting their butts handed to them, that I would be able to see once lol).

Evan is definitely my favorite with Kenny coming in as a pretty close 2nd

[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;284562]Amen! Evan is definitely my favorite with Kenny coming in as a pretty close 2nd[/QUOTE] Just wondering if you would have the same opinions of them if it turns out to be true that they raped Tonya?
[QUOTE=TSPKM2;284564]Just wondering if you would have the same opinions of them if it turns out to be true that they raped Tonya?[/QUOTE] Innocent until proven guilty. If Tonya's allegations wind up being true, it will definitely put a damper on my love for those 2
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;284568]Innocent until proven guilty. If Tonya's allegations wind up being true, it will definitely put a damper on my love for those 2[/QUOTE] Gotta say I really thought you and JL were being sarcastic
[QUOTE=Dash_Vegas!;284574]Gotta say I really thought you and JL were being sarcastic[/QUOTE] Maybe JL was being sarcastic, I don't know. But unlike virtually everyone else on Vevmo, I really like Evan and Kenny
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;284568][B]Innocent until proven guilty[/B]. If Tonya's allegations wind up being true, it will definitely put a damper on my love for those 2[/QUOTE] Not always. But thats why I said "if it turns out to be true." I'm not exactly sure whats to love about them anyway.
[QUOTE=TSPKM2;284580]Not always. But thats why I said "if it turns out to be true." I'm not exactly sure whats to love about them anyway.[/QUOTE] Yes always, at least in America. Alas, we have no way of possibly knowing whether or not it's true. So I'm not too worried about it right now. There's plenty to love about them, they're the funniest people on the show. They both know how to play the game VERY successfully. Also, we share a sense of comical yet sensible misogyny.
Uhm no!! there are several people that have been put in jail and have been found guilty of a crime and turned out to be innocent, or are innocent its just they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing is 100% just like your statement Innocent Until Proven Guilty....there isnt a way for us to know right now you are correct but its pretty hard NOT to believe Tonya seeing the way Kenny and Evan act, on and off screen.
[QUOTE=Dash_Vegas!;284574]Gotta say I really thought you and JL were being sarcastic[/QUOTE] I was definitely not being sarcastic...perhaps over-exaggerating a little bit . I like Kenny and Evan, they're two of my favorite cast members. I will admit that when I saw the Tonya thing I was like "Oh...****...maybe I shouldn't have written that". BUT...innocent until proven guilty. [QUOTE=TSPKM2;284597]you are correct but its pretty hard NOT to believe Tonya seeing the way Kenny and Evan act, on and [**** screen[/B].[/QUOTE] What do you know of them off screen? I don't know much about Evan, but Kenny seems pretty universally well liked aside from a select few cast members like Katie and obviously Tonya. Check out the dailies of Ryan and Jenn talking about what a good guy he is. Look at Cara's formspring. Watch her Ustream with Evelyn (who everyone seems to love) where she says that Kenny's a great guy. Listen to an interview that he's done. Is it because he's slept with a lot of women prior to having a serious girlfriend? I've never heard of a male pseudo celebrity being promiscuous...that MUST make him a rapist! It's pretty impressive that we can construct criminal profiles of two guys based on a few hours of footage and things we claim to know about their personal lives.
[QUOTE=Challenge_Fan;284583]Also, we share a sense of comical yet sensible misogyny.[/QUOTE] Misogyny, as I'm sure you know, is a hatred of women. Don't see how that can be comical or sensible... I really hope the alleged **** is not true because it would be terrible for people to sit back and let it happen. Regardless of whether it was a joke gone too far you should never mess with someone's privates without their consent! As for punishments go if it did happen, I hope it isn't just that they will never be on the challenges again, there should be more penalties that fit the alleged crime.
Tonya's law suit has its own thread. Lets keep talk about it in there...
