[QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;423536]A lot of people did seem miserable on both The Ruins and Rivals II, but I could see everyone hating it just as much if they were in a cold and freezing environment too.[/QUOTE]
Duel 2 was in New Zealand and a lot of people said it was too cold.
I know personally, if I found out that I would have to be living and competing in a cold environment and there's snow, I would drop out. I can't do cold. Lol.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;423532]You do realize that if its too hot it drives people away like Thailand has done both times[/QUOTE]
I prefer hot over cold. With it being hot I can tan and stay in the pool. Workout outside which I prefer when I have to work out on my own.

I don't like it to be extremely cold, but humid climates are not my thing either. 50, 60, and 70 degree weather is ideal.

They went to Canada during the same time of year but nobody said it was then at least to my knowledge.
I love the cold as long as its not to bad. I imagine you'd never do the exes final in Iceland.

Regardless, the heat and humidity of Thailand is terrible that's one of the reasons people hated the ruins and rivals 2
[QUOTE=auldx;423517]& how fun would SNOW challenges/missions be?!?1[/QUOTE]
There is more than just snow covered regions in Switzerland. July/August (when season 26 is rumored to be filming) is the best time to visit. Mild temperatures, lots of outdoor activities, it could be a great challenge location.

Why not its a great location and beautiful to look at. Much better then going back to the Caribbean for the 5th time.
Why do people on this forum have such a condescending, judgmental attitude towards those who decide to do a lot of Challenges? And whenever a castmate says they don't want to do Challenges anymore, people here are always saying, "good for them, it's a good thing they [I]moved on[/I] and didn't keep doing Challenges like the rest of these [I]pathetic losers[/I]."
These Challenges are very unique and exciting experiences that only a small pool of people get to participate in. If I was a castmate, I would say yes to every single call I got to be on a Challenge. I don't care what anyone says.

Exactly, I mean people always say how Paula and Johnny need real jobs but let's be real if they were in there shoes they'd do the same thing.
I completely agree, but it's just an easy way for some posters to make fun of contestants they don't like.
For example say I for some reason don't like any of the Fresh Meat cast (just as an example) if I wanted to berate them I'd say Cara has done far too many and she needs to get a life.
If however I thought Wes Is The Best and he decided to retire, I'd say good on him for getting out of these ridiculous things.
Just examples though of course.

My thing is this: I don't mind people do several challenges it's just when people do Every. Single. One. Back. to. Back. THAT'S what bothers me. If some of these people took breaks for like 1 or 2 challenges or just did every other challenge. Then I wouldn't have an issue with it. To me It's unnecessary to have Paula be on 10 Challenges straight Same with Backpack and CT. As a viewer it's just tiring to see the same person(or people) over and over again. That's my only issue with it.

This, I agree with. Cara Maria on the past 7, Camila on the past 6, Jasmine on the past 5, Frank, Nany, and Zach on the past 3, Aneesa, Jonna, Leroy, CT on 4 of the past 5, Bananas on 5 of the past 6. It's just excessive. If they just replaced a couple of these people with fresher faces than I feel like the casting would feel a lot less predictable and stale.
Before Free Agents, Sarah had done the past 7, Ty had done the past 4/5, Paula had done the past 5/6, and Wes had done the past 6/7. With just [I]one Challenge break[/I] of them not appearing on Free Agents, I wouldn't mind any of them returning (and am actually actively looking forward to a Sarah return even though I was the biggest advocate for her to take one off).
It just gets exhausting watching the same story lines and characters over and over, which is why Ex-Plosion faltered at the end.

Exactly. We need a cast with a smaller group of regulars like Sarah, Wes, and a few of the new regulars who have done 2-4 in a row (they're less tiring to see compared to the others like Camila, CT, Bananas), etc., and the rest a bunch of rookies and as many old schoolers as they can get. It would be a breath of fresh air IMO.
[QUOTE=PinkRose;423586]Devyn is not to sure about doing another challenge, especially a no if she is in a team with Easy lol[/QUOTE]
Did she say that on the spreecast thingy lol?
[QUOTE=PinkRose;423590]Yeah, via phone lol It was only like 10 minutes.[/QUOTE]
Smh, I could see that being the case. However, BMP likes Devyn so I could see them persuading her to change her mind, if they offered more money. Which I would but I wouldn't be shocked if they did.

Doubt they will, Big easy/Devyn are not characters that break or make a season...Their relationship is not really as popular as others.
Plus, on the spreetcast she sounded more like she was happy with 2 challenges, 2 finals and that she was taking time off from it.

Agreed.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;423478]I don't think so. THose are the type of people you keep in the game as long as possible.[/quote]
Same mentality as the JEK dynasty, I like it. However, from an audiences standpoint keeping those idiots around till the end doesn't make it more entertaining than having the best of the best compete against each other in a nail biter of a final.
[quote]You never said Male Bullies. You said ORIGINAL bullies. You never specified a gender so you're still wrong.[/quote]
Theyre still the original male bullies, so I'm still right.
[quote] Devyn was never annoying. She was always entertaining.[/quote]
Throughout most of Free Agents she was trying way too hard. Memorizing her scripted jokes.
[quote]LOL so what Frank should just bow down and kiss the vets ***** now? Backpack and CT are not some gods that can't be touched. And Backpack HAS had an easy road. In most of the challenges he was on he basically walked to the finals untouched and unchallenged. If you're going to sit here and not give Frank Credit then I can just as easily not give backpack credit.[/QUOTE]
I never said he needed to kiss anyone's ***, I said if he's going to talk so much **** then he needs to actually try and back up his claims. And so you think because most of these challengers are total idiots and easy to manipulate that you should somehow put all the blame on Bananas? He's a political mastermind for crying out loud. And all the finals he has been have been anything but easy, not to mention getting thrown into an elimination every season. And I would probably give Frank more credit if he didn't talk so much **** about the vets, because now it's like okay you won 1 easy final and got 2nd place being partnered with the King, try making it far on your own or being paired up with a weak person if you're going to say you're better than the veterans.
I wouldn't mind seeing Cara or Sarah again, because they are not that annoying. Some of the new people are way more annyong and it is just sad to see how weak some of them are. I mean, camon. (also, I would like to see them win one day :D )
[QUOTE=JayTee;423390]Aneesa has a lot of body weight, the size difference isn't drastic unless you're talking about height. So of course Laurel wasn't going to truck her but she still almost broke her neck. Laurel beat her in something that Aneesa is only good at: physical eliminations.
And no she choked and hard. Who the hell "earns" a spot in the final but can't get across a stream when there's a rope you can grab for leverage? She was the was the anchor of that final.
And what exactly did she contribute to Free Agents? Being seen as a hypocrite, begging Laurel not to go after her?[/QUOTE]
file:///Users/tippyperez/Desktop/Screen_shot_2014_05_31_at_4_01_31_PM.png
That is a drastic size difference. Not only is Laurel much taller, but she's also wider all around. Again, answer this, if Laurel damaged Aneesa as badly as you claim, why didn't Laurel gain any ground? Laurel was obviously just as phased by the collision as Aneesa since neither of them was really able to gain significantly in either direction after that crash; it was a stalemate. I guess if Aneesa really almost broke her neck like you stated then Aneesa must be much tougher than we all thought considering that she started wrestling with Laurel literally not a second afterwards. Even Laurel gave Aneesa credit in that elimination round the entire time, both before, during and after and we all know Laurel is somebody that rarely likes to reveal any vulnerabilities or admit that anyone is actually possible threats to herself. She said before her elimination round that Aneesa was her first serious match up, she said during that she underestimated Aneesa's power/size in the first round, and said after that she was also hit hard by Aneesa.
Aneesa isn't great at challenges but she has done well in elimination rounds outside of the physical contact realm. She beat Robin in puzzle/climbing, Diem, Jonna in Wrecking Wall and Tori at the game that Tori had a better chance at and even at her "smallest size" matched up well to Laurel. Aneesa isn't a great competitor overall but she is someone to consider when you need a girl to "neutralize" a Laurel because unlike many of the girls that compete, she is scrappy. I think it's pretty clear that you're just unable to give her credit despite the fact that even your goddess did before during and after the elimination round.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;423715]What are you talking about? Mark Long's Old vs. New.... I doubt Mark will even be on this challenge![/QUOTE]
Mark and Beth, as well as several other old schoolers, have been campaigning for Old vs New for a while.
You know speaking of Mark Long is desperate tweets and attempts to get on another challenge is really annoying me.
Why can't you just be like most of the cast and wait to be called and not campaign to get on.
