Challenge Interesting Facts

[QUOTE=Lola88;333128]I agree with that, especially about Laurel. I do think Emily kisses butt a little bit though, there is something about her that seems fake to me (of course I don't know her personally, so that is completely only based on what Ive seen on tv). Laurel isn't afraid to speak her mind, even to her own alliance member, which I can respect .[/QUOTE] What have you seen that makes Emily seem fake?

I don't agree with lola88 as well because Emily was the best girl on johnny and derrick's team so they didn't mind her sticking around, and on exes from what i remember she was getting thrown in all the time.

I think that can get warped to look like she's being fake or whatever, but she's just a nice, good person.

[QUOTE=r3iKo;333129]What have you seen that makes Emily seem fake?[/QUOTE] Her whole demeanor

As for Cutthroat, she got a good free pass for having Katie and Emilee on her team and only had to face Melinda and Paula.

[QUOTE=Lola88;333135]Her whole demeanor[/QUOTE] You say you don't know her except for what you have seen on TV, your it's her "whole demeanor" upon which you offer criticism. I suggest that you read her website to learn a bit more about her before offering what I know to be incorrect criticism.

[QUOTE=Lola88;333136]Yeah and she cried the whole time about getting thrown in. As for Cutthroat, she got a good free pass for having Katie and Emilee on her team and only had to face Melinda and Paula.[/QUOTE] She didn't cry; she just didn't like it, like any normal person would. Do you honestly think anyone could've defeated her in a Gulag (except for Laurel maybe)?

Lol at Emily being fake and getting a free ride. Going into 2 elimination rounds is not a free ride. Regardless of who was on the other side of that elimination round she was going in. Went into 3 eliminations on Exes, no free ride there either. She earned her spot in both Challenge finals. She seems like one of the most genuine people on the challenge, nice, down to earth, and there to compete and play the game straight up. Not fake.

I'm getting really annoyed with the comments about Emily being fake. Everything everyone said to stand up for her toke the words out of my mouth, so no need to rewrite what everyone said. Emily is one of my all time favorite Real Worlders and It's so ignorant to call such a genuine person fake.

Yeah I don't see how anyone can say Emily got a free ride on Cutthroat when she had a partner who has not only performing not up to the same level as her but also hadn't gone in once.

[QUOTE=Lola88;333136]Yeah and she cried the whole time about getting thrown in. As for Cutthroat, she got a good free pass for having Katie and Emilee on her team and only had to face Melinda and Paula.[/QUOTE] Like when Emily volunteered to go into the Gulag twice--stating "if I'm going to win money I'm going to earn it". Yep, that's definitely crying. A free pass is hardly going into 2 elimination rounds. She didn't like the politics behind Exes--shocking. Pretty sure she still went in and won every time despite being stuck with Ty

Okay cool, I'm not the only one who thought that was an irrational statement. Lola88 obviously has personal issues towards Emily for some odd reason.

[QUOTE=Lola88;333135]Her whole demeanor[/QUOTE] That explains a lot. Another biased opinion here. Next subject...

[QUOTE=Debut Album;332935]Yep he sure shouldn't have been. I never understood why they put him on the rookies team. I guess they weren't counting the 6 vs 6 challenges..but if that's the case why was David(Seattle) a Veteran?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=mph922;332939]And Montana.[/QUOTE] People should really consult Wikipedia's article before asking this question. It's obvious why David and Montana were referenced as they did one of the first few challenges before returning in 2005.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;333147]Yeah I don't see how anyone can say Emily got a free ride on Cutthroat when she had a partner who has not only performing not up to the same level as her but also hadn't gone in once.[/QUOTE] Plus she earned it like she said, unlike some stupid *** contestants.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;333166]People should really consult Wikipedia's article before asking this question. It's obvious why David and Montana were referenced as they did one of the first few challenges before returning in 2005.[/QUOTE] ?? What? That's the whole point. Jamie had also appeared in one of those earlier challenges (and BOTSexes) but was put on the Rookie team, whereas Montana and David were put on the Veterans despite being in the same boat as Jamie. Debut Album (and I by extension) were just pointing out the flawed logic.

Danny (Austin) has been on SIX challenges and never made it to the finals or won a single elimination round.

[QUOTE=dreamer;333258]Danny (Austin) has been on SIX challenges and never made it to the finals or won a single elimination round.[/QUOTE] Holy crap..not even ONE elimination round? Damn that's like the worst challenge record ever...I kinda feel bad for Danny since he probably would like to win one of these things.

[QUOTE=dreamer;333258]Danny (Austin) has been on SIX challenges and never made it to the finals or won a single elimination round.[/QUOTE] Is that the worst clutch record ever on the Challenges?

Danny could have easily made it to the Gauntlet 3 finals but we know how that turned out.

Trishelle has by far the longest Challenge break ever at skipping 14 Challenges (Inferno -> Battle of the Seasons 2) Runner-ups include Alton with 8 (Inferno 3 -> Battle of the Seasons 2), Veronica with 7 (Inferno 2 -> Ruins), Susie with 6 (Extreme Challenge -> Gauntlet 2), Mark, Landon, & Ruthie with 5 (Gauntlet 2 -> Duel 2), Rachel R. with 5 (Inferno 2 -> Island), and Darrell with 5 (Fresh Meat -> Ruins).

[QUOTE=jr588;337347]You forgot Ibis & Syrus...[/QUOTE] You're right. I was looking at the complete list on Wikipedia and got confused with all the boxes. Lol. Syrus and Ibis both have 6 challenges skipped (Gauntlet 2 -> Ruins).

The Ruins was the last time five or more competitors won a Challenge. Since then it's always been two or four. I think its time for BMP to create a team theme challenge (10V10/14V14/16V16) again no?

hell no, enough with the teams/pairs challenges already.

A large team Challenge is what is needed now but one where things are kept offbalance for all involved and not overloaded like G3 where everyone knows that BMP screwed themselves into an anti-climatic situation.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;345382]Well...Cutthroat was a good set up...10v10v10 or 16v16 are the best options IMO[/QUOTE] Cutthroat was good to a point certainly. I have a better idea which I will not enumerate here because I am seriously debating typing up something to send off suggesting that I have a solid team Challenge idea with some serious game mechanics that will put Alliances on edge. ... Before you ask, yes I have one and it works.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;345385]Send it off then send me a private message--haha. I love "ideas"[/QUOTE] I'm seriously debating it. Maybe I'll work on it tonight at work after watching Portland if I have the time.
