What are some seasons that you can re-watch and still be entertained? For me, Challenge 2000, Inferno 1&2, BOTSeasons 1&2, and Free Agents..

Battle of the Sexes 1& 2 and the original Gauntlet for sure.  inferno 2 and the first half of Ruins.  I also randomly watch the Gauntlet 2 a lot since I bought it on itunes and I tend to watch it more than the other seaons I've bought.

Inferno 2, Fresh Meat 1 &2, The Duel 1 & 2, Gauntlet 3, The Ruins, Cutthroat, BOTS 2 and Free Agents.

Heard they're bringing the red skull back for 36. How would you guys tweak it to make it better bc imo it fell flat by the end of Total Madness.

my idea is mixing it either with the relic from WOTW where your safe from the next elim if you just won, or mixing it with the shelter/main house twist from Invasion, where once you win a red skull you go to the main house

Red Skull twist sucks, just cancel it. The point of the game should be to avoid elimination. It ruins the voting drama.

I think they need to use the relic and/or give some kind of benefit for having a second red skull, whether it's A) using it for safety like the power of veto on BB where you can remove yourself from being nominated, B. giving it away in a deal or C) getting to put yourself in any tribunal in exchange for your skull

They could just remove the whole needing one to get to a final and just make the benefits of winning an elimination and getting a skull very significant

If there's 12 guys then there should only be 6 elimination rounds.  That way earning the skull actually matters.  From what I heard there were way too many opportunities to get a skull this season.  JMO

Rewatching Rivals 2 and I just realized for Tye to make it so far in the competition, he was pretty much mute. So like, why did he even go on the show? Did anyone else notice that?

I'd get rid of it. But since that isnt happening at least for a season, I'd give them individual bank accounts, this makes people want to take out the threats.

When Ty spoke on any prior season it pretty much only hurt his chances (though from what I recall he was pretty good on Exes).  I think played a smart game though maybe him being "mute" prevented him from getting invited back

He wasn't even supposed to be on Rivals II. Tyler Duckworth was originally Leroy's partner but production changed it to Ty.

Depending on what kind of shape Tyler was in that would have been an interesting pair

It was a good choice not having that kween on our screens again.

Denying Tyler in favor of Ty is just plain wrong.

 

Although to be fair, Ty had demonstrated erratic behaivor im sure the producers loved on all of his previous seasons, his disappearing act on Rivals 2 was odd.

Tyler was nauseating on every single one of his appearances.

Tmw you realize Jordan is the only face from the Portland cast doing challenges.

I really thought the entire cast minus Anastasia would be locks.

EDIT: same with the Vegas 2, Explosion and Skeletons cast. BMP really dropped the ball.

Jessica was a lock as well but then producers quickly realized she was meh as a competitor.  She did three seasons in a row.

Dirty Thirty has a rewatchable reunion. 

Invasions was also pretty watchable for me.

Invasion is watchable up until the dumb format of champion going against champion.

That's technically what happened.

I feel like Tyler was trying to do whatever he could to get invited back on those challenges.  He was at least a good competitor though annoying.  Ty was pretty annoying on Cutthroat and Rivals as well.  

The tribunal is terrible but I did like that on total madness everyone who won the mission was in it, much better than on vendettas where shane and veronica won the mission but still got sent into elimination and went home.

Veronica was on the losing team but I agree with your point

It was britini who went in despite her team winning not veronica, my mistake 

On Vendettas the fact that Brad, Tony & Zach made up the tribunal on a woman's day when it should have been Natalie, Jemmye and Nicole Z is sickening.  I don't even like those 3 girls but none should have been in the elimination.  It should have been Kam vs Cara/Kailah.

Britni went into a elimination when she won a challenge? Why isn't that talked about more often because how is that fair

Looking at the vendettas wikipedia page, it also happened to shane and natalie

Shit like this is why I cant stand vendettas

It happened to Britni too.  When she had to go against Laurel

Although, people don't talk about Britni because I feel like no one cares about Britni.  She definitly wasn't willing a final.  Shane and Natalie showed during the first mission they could be a threat in a final.  Didn't Shane finish 3rd or 4th?

i have to agree. I thought they were all gonna challenge regulars.

same with Las Vegas 3. I didn't expect only Kailah doing challenges. I thought for sure Dione would be the next bananas. Especially with him saying time and time again that he doesn't like having a regular job. I expected Dylan and maybe Ceejai to also be regulars. Didn't expect tSabrina, the racist, Dean, and Ammo to do any challenges honestly.

anyone else really liked the final reckoning voting format? the redemption house kind of made it useless but i really want to see that again.
