The Challenge: Rivals II - Discussion (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=Blue123;344778]ok Jesus, since when did they give out that much money, last time 2nd got 25k. I think the duel prize was the most, I think it was 150k or something but they dont give that kind of money anymore.[/QUOTE] I think it's in total, so first place Wes/Ct would both get 125k and Johnny/Frank would get 25k each? Edit: Nevermind, just read LexBliar's comment.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;344775]Wes would have to make about 82,000 more than Johnny does this season. So first place 250,000 and 2nd place 50,000 would do it[/QUOTE] Yeah...MTV/BMP is never gonna pay 300k just for male 1st,2nd place....+....girls needs to be paid too To my knowledge all 3 teams made money, how much, I have no idea..(ie. no quitting in the finals) Plus there is never going to be such a huge jump between 1st and 2nd place...2nd place only making 20% of the 1st place money?..

Isn't Marlon supposed to be abstinent due to his religious beliefs? lol I can't imagine him 'sinning' for Derek or Preston, I mean come on. Maybe CT finally came out :p.

Or are you referring to last time? Last time 3rd got nothing, 1st got 50k. But in the beginning TJ says 1st place 100k but thats between the 2 of them not each

I'm saying that's the hypothetical for Wes to have more money than Johnny. I personally don't think it happened

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;344788]I'm saying that's the hypothetical for Wes to have more money than Johnny. I personally don't think it happened[/QUOTE] You mean for Wes to have won more money than Johnny. I am sure Wes has more money than Johnny. It obviously didn't happen. They wouldn't have that much in prizes.

Marlon said in an interview recently he is talking to a girl/ kind of seeing her but couldn't say her name yet. I wonder if it is anyone from the challenge. Hmmm

[QUOTE=V1man;344769]Perhaps because there is someone else in her life... Diem is not a random hookup person. You might need to do a little research on the surgery she went through and the affects of treatment.[/QUOTE] Gotcha, I didn't know she was with someone so that makes sense now. They were always like the notable couple from the Challenge so I was wondering why no one mentioned them, thanks

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;344786]Didn't last season have $250,000 for first place and $50,000 for 2nd place?[/QUOTE] No, first place was worth 100k each and 2nd 50k each... My wording may have been a bit unfortunate I do not know whether the 3rd placed teams actually made any money at the final challenge(or 2nd, for the matter)but what I do know is that each team came home with money, money that they have earned at the challenge not their veteran paychecks...no clue if it was from daily challenges or eliminations rounds but it came from somewhere... Also If I remember correctly on Rivals I we only had 1st and 2nd place finishers because one team was DQed of each gender, no?

Battle of the Seasons I believe was $250,000 for first place, $50,000 for 2nd place, $40,000 for 3rd place.

On rivals they stated that only top 2 of each team guy/girls made money and the first checkpoint the last place teams were out. aka leroy/mike jenn/mandi becuase they took so long they were dq'ed. they woudl have cared a ton more if third got money and they were forced out..They knew they had no chance at top 2 basically and conceeded

Ty was always kinda fruity to me, maybe he was drunk when he and Marlon were dared to hookup? (kidding of course)

Laurel is actually much nicer than people realize and she is driven by both career and competition. She only went after Paula because Paula got in the middle of the situation between her and Wes over Cara Maria. However, she is also done with the Challenges now.

[QUOTE=nmulla;344745]Curious, if CT was to hook up with Emily, would Diem throw a tatrum? I think she would. I had an ex that i had broken up with 2 years ago, but we randomly had mutual friends (didn't know she would be there) and when female friend came, she threw a tatrum and made a scene[/QUOTE] I have it on good authority that Chris crushed out half the chicks there.

Ok this sounds bad, and I'm pretty late but I just started watching Rw portland now (the only roommate I like is daisy aka the dog, the rest seem pretty annoying already, I kinda like the dude that likes the dog too) and omg I didnt know Jordan didnt have his left hand..I was wondering if that would prevent him from doing stuff in the challenge, clearly it didnt since he made it pretty far, I at least have more respect for that dude, clearly he doesnt let that stop him. And I can totally see how theyre trying to convince us that Marlon/Jordan are athletes, theres always random clips of Jordan running lol

and why do people ask all these types of questions? who won, who hooked up with him, who went into eliminations, who was with whom in alliances, who did better in finals. was it fluke, were they sick, is he gay, how much money, yada yada yada. do you even want to watch the show?

[QUOTE=kriegor;344770]and how would that be possible?[/QUOTE] Well with some simple addition you would be able to figure out that if the winners got 100k each then Wes's 185k would be 285k after this challenge. I know its hard. I need to bust out my TI-83 just to figure that out.

[QUOTE=kriegor;344859]and why do people ask all these types of questions? ... do you even want to watch the show?[/QUOTE] Maybe... but more importantly, why are you here? Yes, some of the questions may be silly or even stupid, but I suppose we could just post MTV's press releases on the Challenges and be done with it. Oh, wait, what release from MTV?

Oh, wait, what release from MTV?[/QUOTE] I like reading people discussing about challengers but other threads are inactive hence me being here. I very well realize it's a spoiler thread but still it boggles the mind. it's like someone telling you all about this book they read last week and then you going to read it as well, like what? what's the point if you know everything? [QUOTE=El Scorcho;344885]Well with some simple addition you would be able to figure out that if the winners got 100k each then Wes's 185k would be 285k after this challenge. I know its hard.

But honestly it only covers it broadly. Like ok i know who wins the elim round, but not how or how intense it is or the cast reactions. Also two people hooked up, well it could be full of drama, it coudl be nothing, we don't know how it will be shown on the edit. I would say still the majority of the episode i have no clue what is going to happen next scene or when certain things take place. Editing sometiems changes a timeline to fit a story, so it all comes out different in the end, although the outcome may be the same as the spoiler told. There's a reason they tell us their were hookups but dont' go in every little detail about the rest, so we get the idea, but have to watch to see how it unfolds. So ultimately the real spoiler is how the edit ends up i guess and what story they decide to tell. Also their is a generic challenge thread spoiler free you can post in and not know any results of the show. They don't allow spoilers to be posted there. Lots of people don't want spoilers but typically the ones who say they first only want to know the cast than no more spoilers, than all they want to know is who wins, than all they want to know is who won the first elimination, etc. If you get where i am going with that.

To be honest, reading the spoilers to these shows doesn't ruin my enjoyment of them. I don't go around all the time reading spoilers for my favorite scripted shows, but with the Challenges? Oh yeah. I used to try not reading the spoilers as much back when the casts were filled with people that I love, but now that I tend to not like 75% of the cast, I need to know who I will have to deal with for a season long. Maybe to prepare myself, I don't know.

On the topic of money though I do doubt that whatever Wes makes will put him over Johnny all-time money-wise. Johnny's already made 80K more than Wes and will still add to his total with a 2nd place. There's also no way that each winner this season will get 100K...there are four winners this season so that's 400K already and you have to give second place something so say they get 50K each or even 25K each that's still an overall 500-600K purse when they've typically been in the 300-350K range for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the exact same number as Rivals 1. Wes would make 50K, which would keep him at 4th all time with money at about $1,000 behind Kenny (unless they give money when you win a mini challenge and Wes/CT win a couple).

I cant remember if it was like this last rivals but why dont the cast tweet each other, well ppl other than Jordan. Johnny, CT, Wes, Cara Maria havent tweeted to anyone, and those guys are usually the center of attention. I wana know what the partner dynamics were like, lol I'm leaving nothing left to watch the show for

I think not having E and K really helps their friendship because johnny would be convinced to toss CT in i am sure by the JEK team but with those guys banned/or in best bmp interest not to be invited, they can actually be cool and not be enemies. Yet to see zach/frank interaction although i don't follow either i really don't use twitter myself though more like just to see certain things when bored at work so i am prob bad person to notice new stuff. I am not on instagram either so i can't see people's reply's or anything or favorites or however instagram works.
