I'm only disappointed in Preston being there---sick & tired of horrible competitors being brought back. And I'm shocked by the dislike of Emily--makes no sense at all. Same with the Sarah hatred. This is a competition--bring the best--lose the weak. Anyway--thanks molds--predictable cast but lots of solid competitors.
First of all: A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO MOLDS! Great job with the pictures (specially Paula's) With that said, I think that the rookies vs vets concept is valid if they put Jonna or Emily in the rookie team. Jasmine and Theresa are on their 4th challenge so I think they can't be rookies. Emily's debut on challenges was ealier than Jonna but Jonna debut was at the same time that Jasmine's. So IDK how they will do that.
First of all, big thanks to Molds not only for the clarification, but also for this pictures^^ If Wes is still a good social player, he should form an alliance with Danny, Tyrie, Dunbar, Derek, Sarah, Jonna, Jasmine, Trishelle and Sarah. This is the only way he would survive some episodes and even be a favorite for a final. However, the way this shows works it will definitely be a CT vs. Johnny or Frank vs. Zach elimination round (If its a new Gauntlet) or Either CT/Johnny vs. either Frank/Zach (If its really a Ruins 2) Emily vs. Cooke
I still don't understand why they'd put Jasmine or Theresa on the vets side but not cast Cara Maria considering she had a legitimate problem with the rookies last season and should be there to get her revenge
I have a feeling Cooke will dominate.
Let me just say Easter Came early. I. Love this cast. I love it. They hit it out the park with this one. Not since the inferno 2 we have had an terrific cast like this. This is great. I love that fact that Danny, Thersea, and Emily, along my fellow NC girl yes I am from Nc Jessica is on ther. Love the cast. This is going to be the best season ever.
[QUOTE=Flaviw;339013]Make a lot of sense: Rookies Girls Anastasia --> Avery Jonna Jessica Cooke Jemmye Nany Naomi --> Latoya Sam --> Ashley Kelsey Rookies Guys Frank Jordan -->Johnny from Portland Knight Marlon Preston --> Swift Robb Trey Zach Veteran Girls Sarah --> Laurel Paula --> KellyAnne Diem --> Ayiia Camila --> Emilee Emily Trishelle -->Ashlee Feldman Theresa Jasmine --> Laura from St Thomas Veteran Guys CT Jonnhy Wes --> Nehemiah Danny --> Chet Dunbar --> Dustin Tyrie --> Luke Leroy Derek --> CJ [/QUOTE] I put who I would change if I was making the cast. I'm glad Devyn's not on the list but am really pissed that they are bringing back worthless competitors like Jasmine, Preston, Trishelle, Danny, Naomi, and Tyrie. I also think Wes, Sarah, Paula, and Camila have done too many of these. Give them a break.
Great cast! I am confused about one thing though. Why are people wishing for an elimination round with Frank? I've seen a lot of people posting they wish CT or Johnny vs. Frank. Is it because they want to see CT/Johnny demolish Frank?? Personally I think I would rather see a CT/Johnny vs. Zach (however, after seeing Zach's performance against CJ in the last challenge, I wasn't that impressed with him). Also, doesn't Trey remind you of a mini-Brad?

I just don't get BMP/MTV. I LOVED the casting for last season - it was fresh and original, and gave us the chance to see a lot of castmembers we would not have seen otherwise on a challenge (Devyn, Lacey, etc.). I don't blame, however, MTV/BMP for going back to the normal casting considering the lackluster ratings. That being said, I don't understand why are they are casting Zach, Frank & Sam again?? America obviously doesn't want to see them - they ruined the ratings for both Real World and the Challenge. I can understand casting 4 people from Vegas 2 and 3 people from NOLA because they were both highly rated seasons for MTV (especially Vegas). Also, the "old-schoolers" that were cast other than perhaps Trishelle, Bananas & CT are not fan favorites typically. I don't think a lot of viewers want to see Tyrie, Danny , etc.
I actually think Emily will be considered more of a rookie than Jonna since she has done the last two challenges and we haven't seen Emily in a bit and she wasn't even considered in the poll.. SO idk i feel she will be a vet befroe Jonna if it is rookies vs. vets Also this sounds silly but I am kind of excited that there is so much Trishelle love.. <3 haha

PErsonally I think i would rather see a ct/johnny vs. zack (however, after seeing zach's performance against cj in the last challenge, i wasnt that impressed with him). also, doesnt trey remind u of a mini- brad?[/QUOTE] CT vs Frank, in the words of the Iron Sheik: "Break his back, make him humble, and then **** his ***" Well sort of

The challenge prior Battle of the Season. It is Emily/Jonna/Emily/Jonna just like a rhythm^^. Somebody may confuse something here. p.S: Molds, would you keep your list this time with people who were considered to be on this challenge?
Haha I called Danny being there and its a nice cast good blend with the new Rookies vs Johnny CT Paula etc. Hopefully some of these people who deserve a win like CT Diem Sarah and Emily finally win thats all I really want.
I know nobody cares, but here's my opinion of this cast. 1) Glad to see: Knight Leroy (hoping to see him vs CT, therefore CT is in this list too) Robb (just because he reminds me of Marie) Trey (hope he'll do better without Laura) Heather Emily Jemmye 2) am OK with: Frank Camila Diem (if only it won't be like that: 50% of episode "Look at me only, I survived cancer", the other 50% of the episode: "Hey CT, let's sit at the table and talk nonsense about how we were together") Nany (however I think she's overrated) Trishelle (well... she's entertaining) 3) Tired of: Danny Dunbar Wes Johnny Jasmine (didn't she say she's retired?) Jonna (even though she did only 2 challenges, I am tired of her more than I am tired of Paula) Paula (oh really?) Theresa Sarah (I would be glad to see her again on Duel 3, but not now) 4) Boring: Derek Tyrie Zach Naomi Sam Preston 5) curious about: Jordan Merlon Anastasia Jessica.
My thoughts on the cast: CT: Excited to see him again. He's always great for competition and drama. Johnny: Go away. Dunbar: Meh. Wes: His antics are always funny, I look forward to seeing him again. Danny: LOL LeRoy: Really happy that LeRoy is back. One of my favorites. Derek: He's okay. Tyrie: See Derek. Zach: Filth. Frank: Same as Zach, but at least he's intelligent and a leader. Knight: Eh. Preston: See Knight. Trey: I'm curious to see what he can do. Robb: He bores me. Jordan: See Trey. Marlon: I don't know how I feel about him yet. Paula: This woman needs to stop. 10 Challenges? Trishelle: I enjoyed her on Seasons, so I guess I'm happy. Sarah: On one hand glad she's on the cast, but on the other, hope she wins, so she can take a break finally. Diem: Love her. Really hope she wins one! Camila: Probably my favorite of the cast. Always brings it, excited. Jonna: My girl! Hope she goes far. Jasmine: She's always hilarious and seems to always put her 100% in the missions, so yay. Theresa: She was always solid so, glad she's on the cast. Emily: Yes! Love her. Hoping she continues to dominate. Jemmye: Gross. Naomi: Probably the only Vegas castmember I don't want to see on a challenge. Cooke: Excited to see how she does. Nany: Always a treat. My favorite from Vegas. Sam: Ew. Jessica: She seems a bit boring, but too early to fully know how I feel about her. I feel like she'll be the first one to go home. Anastasia: I feel like she'll bring drama and I'm hoping she's there to compete.
I'm really only upset to see Sam and Preston, otherwise I'm willing to give everyone else a chance. I'm most excited for Portland kids and Cooke.
I'm expecting a different type of challenge. Of course, I ofter overestimate the ability of BMP to think outside its comfortable box.
I was thinking about 8 teams of 4. One rookie male and female and one veteran male and female on a team. I would hope they would do just 2 teams. I want to see individual eliminations again.
[QUOTE=V1man;339086]I'm expecting a different type of challenge. Of course, I ofter overestimate the ability of BMP to think outside its comfortable box.[/QUOTE] Please, no Fresh Meat 3 with Vet/Rookie pairing. But tell us what you're expecting?
gauntlet 2 has 32 case members, and gauntlet 3 did too. All the other challenges had less. Cutthroat has 28 and ruins had something similar. my best bet is it is gauntlet 4, but the rules will be different. just like they were different from gauntlet 2 to 3
Why is nobody thinking it could be a duel 3... It's not the cast I would pick for a duel but it's the only one that would make sense to me with this line up
[QUOTE=ShowStopper;339091]Why is nobody thinking it could be a duel 3... It's not the cast I would pick for a duel but it's the only one that would make sense to me with this line up[/QUOTE] They're not gonna have a Duel with 32 people on it
I believe we can rule out Duel and any partner challenge just based on the amount of people.
Back to the thinking outside the box statement....
with the Jonna/Emily who is a vet debate, they could say Emily is a Vet since shes been in 2 finals and 5-0 in elimination rounds where Jonna has never been in a final and has only won 1 elimination round. As for the cast, I'm actually loving it! Even with the "fillers" that I don't like I feel this is the way to bring new people into the show. Not like last season when almost all of them were new. I like this balance.

considering the younger audience won't remember Trishelle from the older RW/RR challenges, I wouldn't be surprised if they put her on the Rookies team. However I'm hoping it's Emily to make for the most competitive teams. My guess: Ruins II: Rookies vs. Vets.

I am embarrassed for mtv, what a terrible cast. Not one decent surprise.
[QUOTE=ShowStopper;339091]Why is nobody thinking it could be a duel 3...

It's not easy to cast people as it is, let alone apparently attempting to create a balance.
