they made it so convuluted to avoid a ruins situation again.i do think the challengers on invasion were a better team than the challengers on the ruins actually BY FAR. tho the only champ that i couldve seen get eliminated was ashley k if it was champs vs challengers. 

i get why they did what they did but it still was a mess and is a big issue with the season.

 

I miss cast themes because then they were forced to switch it up and cast some people they normally wouldn't see as priority

worst era of the show. 

Oh honey no. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever be as HORRIBBLE as the Fresh Meat era. I mean the first few seasons(Fresh Meat, The Duel, Inferno 3) were okay/passable but from Gauntlet 3 to Exes 1 (Excluding Cutthroat which was an alright season in retrospect) were just plain SHIT!  The castmembers/regulars of that era sucked and that alone was enough to sink the show that period. 

They really needed to not cast the champions in invasion and just cast more well chosen rookies in their place, Season would be much better honestly.

Yes to all of this.

I don't think they ever got past this era sadly tbh because ever since then they've settled for mediocre casting and lame whack *** formats. I stopped watching during the Ruins and skipped FM2 & CutThroat till I began watching again when Rivals premiered cuz of how bad this era was.

im jus biased because i hated the overkill of pair seasons, along with stupid restrictive themes.

They haven't had consistent good seasons since golden era.  

yeah u can say seasons - exes 2 is good but idk fa and rivals 2 are decent seasons at best and kinda overrated by fanbase. But that's a 4 season stretch where the show wasn't bad at all.... which they haven't had a stretch like that since.  

unless ur a fan of that trilogy of garbage which then yeah that's your thing.

I havent liked any recent era. I just hate the partner era more than anything else on the show lol.

I'd rank Final Reckoning & War of the Worlds pretty high up tho. I love both of those modern seasons for some reason. 

I liked Duel 2-Cutthroat with the exception of The Ruins after Darrell and Veronica left.  If Landon would have won Duel 2 instead of Evan that would be one of my top 5.  FM2 Wes vs Kenny with Landon winning and Jenn really controlling it was awesome.  Cutthroat was great.  I don't like JEK but they were good seasons and only The Ruins had more than 1 of them.

I hated that era I didn't watch live but a lot of those seasons were so boring.

The Duel 2- After episode 1 it was so boring.

The Ruins- It was toxic drama but great tv. 

FM2- boring for me

cutthroat- Overall boring had some moments but I wasn't a huge fan.

JEK era was awful. everything about it sucked. 

I have never really like more than two seasons in a row

Like Pink said, The Ruins is toxic af but it delivered from start to end even with lopsided teams. I rewatched sometime in 2021 and it amazed me how into it I was even tho I knew how bad that season was behind the scenes. The episodes Tonya was still there were a lot, but they delivered.

Also Seasons 2 is one of the few challenges I've rewatched more than twice. Loved it so much.

this season was a good one that always got too much unwarranted hate

I loved The Ruins. It had such good drama. Tonya's situation kind of kills that for me so I won't rewatch it. I enjoyed Seasons 2 a lot, but every time I watch I get sad knowing we should have had Kellyanne and Ashli over Camilla and Cara. I can't even imagine the potential with a Sydney over Fresh Meat team. The last great season to me was Rivals 2. It did after that. Marie made the Trilogy decent for me and WOTW2 was a good season but Rivals 2 was the last top notch season.

rivals2-freeagents-exes2 wasnt a bad stretch of seasons imo. but everything else after is very much terrible ur honor.

I remember being so bored and annoyed when the cast of exes 2 got revealed but it really was one of the best of the 20s. 2 sided house, banany getting eliminated early, plus we had Nia.

I know I'm in the minority here and understandably so. The Duel 2 got a little boring because aside for Kimberly's win the eliminations were predictable.  Aneesa beating Tori as well. I love the strategic game of The Ruins and Ibis getting screwed. Wes vs Kenny was interesting even if I hate both.  

I honestly liked Duel 2, but the original Duel was perfection. The underdogs knocking out most of the popular girls alliance was a good watch.

Duel 1 was overrated to me. Something about it was off. Duel 2 was kind of a snoozefest tbh. Besides Adam being murdered I don't remember any big moments.

That bitter mean ***** Tori being flung is always a highlight for me. I hope that hag is on All-Stars 4 and gets flung by Ayanna in Hall Brawl.

adam wasn't murdered .... he is still alive.

That might be the most disappointing part about that season...

LOL

Well if he was killed, CT would have never returned...which he shouldn't have in the first place....CT belongs on Bad Boys Club....

Who's worse as a person?  CT or Adam?   Honest question--can probably make an argument for both.

The duel 1 is overrated because it had horrible eliminations, ican was just bad and they had pointless rules ruining the original pole wrestle and push me.
