[QUOTE=Blue123;288603]Wes and Mandi have the same birthday, which is also the same day as the American thanksgiving.
Nehemiah's Birthday is 3 days before Wes' and Brandon's is the day after Nehemiahs.
Thought that was kinda interesting coincidence.[/QUOTE]

Haha I just noticed Syrus and Puck were in Eminem's "without me" video. Lol I was just watching it and was like omg! Beth is there too but as a blow up doll.
I saw that video like 100 times when I was young but I didnt recognize them cause I didnt start watching the challenges yet :P

Julie is in it too.
Evan and Nehemiah are the only team from Rivals where neither are on Battle of the Exes.
Of the two previous challenges where there have been people with the same name, one of the two people was the first eliminated (Cutthroat: Derek/Emilee, Rivals: Adam)
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;291974]Evan and Nehemiah are the only team from Rivals where neither are on Battle of the Exes. [/QUOTE]
In that regard, Dustin/Heather and Nate/Priscilla (who were ineligible) are the only pairs on BOTE, where neither was on Rivals.
Both of these are sad facts and show how tired/repetitive BMP/MTV is getting with casting. I suppose some of it is not their fault (we have heard a lot of first choice casting declining the show). However, in using the themed challenge, they pigeonhole themselves as far as casting goes i.e. Rivals, BOTE, etc. It also unfortunate that the last couple of challenges were not filmed during the Summer, so college students are unable to film.
This is why something like Cutthroat worked out so well castwise IMO, because there were no foolish themes and casting was very open - 15 boys - 15 girls - no need for rivals/hookups/rookies/veterans/bad a.s.ses/good guys, etc. Just 30 interesting castmembers.
[QUOTE=ballinbroken;288296]I wonder if Brad quit smoking and dipping. Tori, based on how she looks on television, seems like the person that is against anything that is bad such as drugs and fighting. On Viewer's Revenge, she started crying and saying she wanted to go home after watching Abram and Adam fight. Plus, Brad has a kid now.[/QUOTE]
There were a few times on Cutthroat where you could tell that he was dipping. I haven't seen Brad smoke on a challenge in a while. I didn't watch Battle of the Sexes 2, I think remember him smoking in The Inferno II, The Gauntlet 2, and The Duel tho.

Well they're rookie teams, there is no way they could've been.
I think this is exactly why they're avoiding a Duel 3, because there is no theme to it. And Cutthroat had 30 people with no theme, but look how many people were irrelevant (Melinda, Derek, Emilee, J.D., Ayiiia, Luke, Theresa, Chet, Dan, Vinny) 1/3 of the Cutthroat cast had no camera time or no story line in the challenge. Which is probably why they've been doing themed challenges like Rivals and Battle of the Exes, to weed out those cast members who don't bring much to the show. Notice how only 2 of the 10 people (Vinny and Theresa) have been on a challenge since Cutthroat.

I agree, Cutthroat was imo one of the most interesting seasons. Very many personalities meaning that everyone had someone to root for. And the best of all - no JEK running the show. The game was much less political and I feel like the game was much more fair elimination wise (except Brad and Jenn).

Since when do you know there's no theme to something that doesn't exist? They could very well do a D3.

And now in Rivals, Paula & Ev vs. Aneesa & Robin. They're also in the upcoming challenge together.
I think its interesting how not as many cast members from the latest season of RW aren't on the newest challenge after their respective seasons. We used to get four new Real Worlders on what seems like every challenge (4 Austin on Fresh Meat, 4 Key West on The Duel, 4 Denver on Inferno 3, 4 Sydney on The Island) And thats the last of it. Since then, not as many Real Worlders have been doing challenge.
Hollywood challenge total: 7
Brooklyn challenge total: 10
Cancun challenge total: 7
DC challenge total: 5
New Orleans 2 challenge total: 0
Las Vegas 2 is the only exception since everyone in their season has already appeard on a challenge with the exception of Nany and Cooke.
Just to add on to that:
The Gauntlet: 12/28 were rookies
The Inferno: 7/20 were rookies
Battle of the Sexes 2: 18/36 were rookies
Inferno 2: 5/20 were rookies
Gauntlet 2: 4/32 were rookies
Fresh Meat: 16/24 were rookies
The Duel: 5/20 were rookies
Inferno 3: 6/21 were rookies
Gauntlet 3: 6/33 were rookies
The Island; 6/20 were rookies
The Duel 2: 5/28 were rookies
The Ruins: 3/28 were rookies
Fresh Meat 2: 15/26 were rookies
Cut Throat: 7/30 were rookies
Rivals: 5/29 were rookies
Obviously, the percent of rookies for a challenge went down from around 40% to around 15%

How are you determining 'rookie statues'? By a challenger's debut? Because technically BMP defines rookie as someone who has participated in less than 3 challenges.

At first I thought he meant first-timers, but looking at the Rivals number (5/29) I'm confused because there were only 4 first timers.
[QUOTE=raskkii;292479]At first I thought he meant first-timers, but looking at the Rivals number (5/29) I'm confused because there were only 4 first timers.[/QUOTE]
There were 5 first timers on Rivals if you count Adam Royer.
[QUOTE=mph922;292492]It's okay, we're all trying to. ;)[/QUOTE]
haha, and I'm sure MTV is trying to as well. They refused to let him on another challenge because he supposedly ruined MTV's relationship with the Hard Rock.
[QUOTE=ballinbroken;292484]First timers is what I meant. [B]But obviously if you look at it you could figure out what I was saying.[/B][/QUOTE]
I don't want to get too far into this, but it isn't [I]that[/I] obvious when you use the word 'rookie' which covers more than just a first-timer. Because along with the 5 first-timers on Rivals, we have Ty, Camila & Katelynn who were also Rookies during that challenge. (So that number would be 8).
The list just struck me as odd when I saw G2 & G3 and I didn't notice a prefect number seeing how half the cast were 'Rookies' (hence the concept). :unknw:

which would've made it obvious that by "rookies", I meant first timers. A rookie is defined as (according to dictionary.reference.com): an athlete playing his or her[B] first season[/B] as a member of a professional sports team. However, I can see why everyone got confused.
When referring to how many different seasons players form each season of the challenge are on, the newest challenge, Battle of the Exes has the most diversity among the cast. (I only did Battle of the Sexes 2- Now)
The cast of Battle of the Exes come from 18 different seasons.
In second place, a tie between Battle of the Sexes 2 and Gauntlet 2 with 17.
And in third place, Duel II and Cutthroat tie with 15 different seasons.

Wow, the first time I read that I thought you were talking about all the seasons everyone has been on since their original appearance. Season-wise (not person-wise), that is a lot of diversity.
I'm pretty sure this season Battle of the Exes is the challenge with the biggest age gap. Mark being the oldest, is 40 and Priscilla was 19. I believe the 2nd biggest gap would be Gauntlet 3 with Beth and Casey and Evelyn. Casey and Evelyn were 20 while Beth was 38. The 3rd would be Gauntlet 1 with Norman, who was 36, and Abram, 20, being the oldest and youngest respectively with 16 years between them.

Just to add to that, prior to BOTSexes 2, the season with the most diversity was the original Battle of the Sexes, with 20 seasons represented.
The lowest was the first challenge season, which only had 8 seasons represented. Granted there were far less players.

I think Beth & Casey from The Duel would be tied for second place.
