The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=GDInstall;317473] Since this time 10k is the minimum, I do believe that the producers really think this season has potential.[/QUOTE] That or they really don't want to release the video of the first 18 minutes.

Last time editors cut wasn't that exciting though, they should show a fight this time. I think the bad guys will be Alton, Frank and some rookies maybe Derrek since he seems to have Marie all worked up, I think Wes will look like the good guy cause hes the only guy with history on the show, everyone is new so hes the only person Trishelle could be referring to.

The BOTE intro with the Iceland glacier got me really excited, but yes, the rest was pretty bland.

Very random but I love Diem's new hair do, it's kinda bold to shave the side of her head especially since she's so girly. And she looks very good considering she's undergoing chemo, that's not how I envision a cancer patient to look.

[QUOTE=ILoveRW;317483]The BOTE intro with the Iceland glacier got me really excited, but yes, the rest was pretty bland.[/QUOTE] It was bland because it was the same **** we have seen the past few seasons. I'm glad they switched it up, because I was way over it already.

Is Theo Von Canadian? Just wondering.

[QUOTE=mizwood;318003]Is Theo Von Canadian? Just wondering.[/QUOTE] No. He's from Louisiana.

[QUOTE=molds13;318007]No. He's from Louisiana.[/QUOTE] Thank you. I always thought he's from Canada. For some reason I found him kinda similar to Evan and his last name is interesting too.. Anyway.

[QUOTE=mizwood;318003]Is Theo Von Canadian? Just wondering.[/QUOTE]Not with that accent.

If anyone's interested on Grantland's youtube channel there's a video of Simmons and Jacoby playing HORSE with TJ hosting it and Leroy making an appearance. They have Under Armour jerseys and everything...it's pretty funny.

And here's the video...

Since tomorrows my birthday and I don't plan on being able to compose a comprehendible sentence, I'm gonna do my predictions for battle of the seasons tonight. Here are some of my thoughts... 1. I'm excited for this season because there's so much new blood, but is it just me or is there way too many fillers? Did we really need to see Lacey, JD, Devyn, CJ, Derek, Preston, Ashley, or Laura ever again? 2. I also wish there was a road rules team, but I guess that would be kind of unfair because I don't know who you could get without it being a stacked team. I think a team of something like Derrick, Dan Walsh, Ibis, and Jill would have been fair, although I have no idea if any/all of them were available. 3. I also wish there was a team Paris. I think any combination of Adam, Ace, and CT would have been good, with Mallory and Leah (although I don't know how available they were, especially Mallory). 4. There is no reason to have a team Brooklyn. They didn't have a great season and they have no one with potential to have a break out season. Sarah has now done 6 challenges, the same number as Evan, Mark, and Jenn and more than Landon and Alton, to name a few. I think people like Sarah, but I don't know who is a huge Sarah fan. I understand she's available every time, but that doesn't mean BMP has to call her every time. They should have at least had Scott on, why would they bring JD back? 5. I'm disappointed that Sydney had to leave, I would have probably picked them to get 2nd. It sucks we couldn't see Issac and Kelly Anne, although I don't think anyone misses Dunbar. 6. I think that whatever team wins this season should be considered champions, but with asterisks (kinda like the Gauntlet 3). Competition-wise, this is one of the weakest casts ever, and so many of the big dawgs aren't on. If lets say San Diego wins, how can it be justified that Frank has won a challenge when CT, Laurel, Emily, etc have never won. Just like how the winners of Rivals and Exes should get extra credit for winning in seasons with stack casts, whoever wins this one should get points taken off. 7. This season is gonna be impossible to predict. No one knows whos gonna be paired together and after some of the fillers get booted, its really anyones game. Without further ado here are the Challenge God predictions. (I haven't read any spoilers, I just know that Sydney leaves and I know who the replacement team is, but I won't say who they are cuz its a spoiler. Even though its on wikipedia. And everyone knows who it is.) In order of elimination 1. Preston and McKenzie 2. JD and Devyn- They don't deserve a sentence (although I just gave them 1). 3. Knight and Jemmye-New Orleans is my favorite team, but I think there gonna suck. I'm really happy to see McKenzie, Knight, and Jemmye on a challenge, and New Orleans was my favorite season besides Vegas that I've seen. But Knight is the only athlete, and the rest might suck. I could see Jemmye being good, and also being crazy. 4. Derek and Jasmine 5. CJ and Jonna 6. Sarah and Chet 7. Danny and Melinda- I'm assuming they'll pair up and Wes will pair up with Lacey. 8. Wes and Lacey 9. Replacement team Finals Winners- Las Vegas- I've seen the trailer and it looks like Dustin might get kicked out. If that happens I don't know if they'll bring Mike in or if Nany will have to go home or what will happen. I assume they won't bring in Leroy because it will make their team way too stacked, and I probably would have heard by now if Adam Royer is on this season. Side note- why has Adam not been back? He's without a doubt the most entertaining person to be on the Real World in the last 5 years. And he's really turning his life around this time! 2. San Diego-1 word-Zack. 3. Replacement Team-Brad and Tori might not be happy to see these 2 in the finals... 4. St. Thomas- I think they'll fly under the radar and I actually think Trey, Robb, and Laura will all be good competitors. Again I have no idea what actually happens, but I can't wait to see what does.

Lol Evan is real pissed about not being on the show, or at least why Kenny/Derrick/Johnny and whoever else he mentioned isn't on the show, he's all like "they get a a bunch of new people I never heard of, why? Why!" He doesn't seem to understand it lol. I'm mixed on the rookies issue, I'd like some new kids but not all new kids. But yea not JEK and Derrick over and over. They weren't too kind to Lacey either. He totally thinks this will make the show bury itself.

He needs to get over it. They all had their time and won.

[B]He totally thinks this will make the show bury itself.[/B] [/QUOTE] Let's hope not. I find it kinda refreshing to see an almost new cast.

[QUOTE=RMD1;318401]He needs to get over it. They all had their time and won.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Evan (and the rest of the vets complaining) needs to shut the hell up and get a life. They weren't always gonna be in the limelight of the challenges.

Just listened to Derrick's podcast, Evan is delusional. He thinks BMP should bring back the same people every year? Almost everyone is tired of watching the same people come back every season and running the challenge. What an idiot. I really hope this season does well in the ratings to make this kid look like an idiot.

[QUOTE=CherryPie;318446]Pretty sure Adam was banned by MTV. You should know that as a Challenge "God" :P[/QUOTE] Why do you believe Adam was "banned"? I mean, if CT wasn't banned why would anyone get banned?

[QUOTE=kvm1977;318491]Why do you believe Adam was "banned"? I mean, if CT wasn't banned why would anyone get banned?[/QUOTE] Adam is banned because he has burned bridges with MTV. CT isn't banned because he hasn't burned those bridges.

So..in light of Battle of the Seasons premiering tonight I was wondering..Which team/teams is everyone rooting for? I'm rooting for..Las Vegas, Cancun, and St Thomas (despite me hating both Marie and Trey). All 3 teams seem strong and I think they have what it takes to make it very far. How about you all?

How about you all?[/QUOTE] Cancun is definitely the team I want to see win. I'd like to see Austin, Brooklyn and Las Vegas make it far since I know some people on those teams. I don't know anything about St. Thomas, NOLA2 or SD2 so that limits my choices--looking forward to seeing what they bring as far as being competitors--they're like "Fresh Meat" to me...same with Nany.

I'm going for Cancun by default because it's the only team where I like everyone...Vegas is my backup as I go back and forth on Dustin. I want Austin gone ASAP so I don't have to see Wes.

Cause I know I knew who Evan was before his debut @_@ he needs to shut up, FM cast is 70% wall paper and like 4 people actually impact that show, I can't even name all the fresh meaters. Bringing back the same people and changing the rules is ridiculous, they did that for years and it failed. Bring them back every now and then but add others too. They're just pissed cause they depend on the show for free money and now finally realize this gig is not always gonna be there and they gotta find something to do with their lives.
