The Challenge: Rivals II - Discussion (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=richjoe92;339759]Leroy and Naomi beat Wes and Mandi. On the next episode, they lost to Emily and Ty.[/QUOTE] Had Naomi and Mandi been the tiebreaker round, Wes and Mandi would have won. Mandi had no trouble with Naomi whatsoever. It was Leroy creaming Wes.

[QUOTE=Psy4potato;339752]Why does evereyone count Leroy as this amazing athlete? [B]He's a decent competitor but the way people talk about him on here you'd think he was the king of the challenge. I guess I don't get the appeal[/B]. On another note, just watched the first episode of Portland last night....really wish Averey was appearing on this challenge! I really liked her![/QUOTE] I'm not saying that he's the "king" - but I will say that I would pick Leroy over Frank or Johnny every day.

For female eliminations I hope we get any combination of Cooke, Emily, Camila, and Nany.

Devyn: Lights Camera Action. Another day of filming. [url=http://instagram.com/p/Xpqi_TASue/]Photo by devynsimone • Instagram[/url] Back? was she ever even there?

She favorited my guess that it was definitely an interview as did @RWRRMTV (aka The Challenge MTV). My guess is it's an exit interview

Devyn went from no tweets or favorites or Instagram pics since last Monday to a whole bunch of stuff today. I think it's safe to say that she was there and was eliminated

[QUOTE=VegasAtSea;339760]Had Naomi and Mandi been the tiebreaker round, Wes and Mandi would have won. Mandi had no trouble with Naomi whatsoever. It was Leroy creaming Wes.[/QUOTE] Exactly Leroy did all the work for that elimination. Naomi did nothing but hinder his performance. Leroy proved that he was a great competitor when he beat Wes of all people , not someone weak, in x-battle.

[QUOTE=Lola88;339766]Devyn went from no tweets or favorites or Instagram pics since last Monday to a whole bunch of stuff today. I think it's safe to say that she was there and was eliminated[/QUOTE] I was just thinking that maybe she was just busy filming something unrelated.

What they should do with a pairs challenge is have the guy go against guy and girl go against girl and the winning people join as the new pair. It's make it very interesting because the people that keep getting sent in will just get stronger, and the "political" teams will lose in the end.

[QUOTE=josh8793;339768]Exactly Leroy did all the work for that elimination. Naomi did nothing but hinder his performance. Leroy proved that he was a great competitor when he beat Wes of all people , not someone weak, in x-battle.[/QUOTE] That would be a major coincidence with the timing of things and not being able to update twitter or anything :/

Obviously they can put things up on instagram? Has anyone else from this cast put anything up recently? I'm only following CT out of this cast haha

Damn we don't have to power to edit anymore? That last reply was supposed to quote ILoveRW

I wouldn't mind a good guy/ bad ***** again. Cooke belongs on the ******** though. She was a bad girl on her season! She was a man eater, scheming to steal a roommate's man, and she slammed the hell out of Dustin in that Dustin/Mike fight. She's a total ****** in my book.lol. [QUOTE=Psy4potato;339752]Why does evereyone count Leroy as this amazing athlete? He's a decent competitor but the way people talk about him on here you'd think he was the king of the challenge. I guess I don't get the appeal. [/QUOTE] Leroy is so likable, he's wise and he's physically strong. I would say he's a good competitor. Now can we say he's an amazing competitor? Well he hasn't gotten the chance to shine because he's been stuck on partner challenges. I think Leroy's best chance would be on a team challenge because everyone likes him, he's level headed enough to understand the politcs of the game and be a team player and he's no weakling. I'm interested to see how Frank will compete along side the likes of Johnny and CT because I heard him on a podcast a few months ago and he sounded a little overconfident to me.

Please no "these would be my teams if it's a xxx challenge" talk. Take it to the fantasy thread.

I see everyone posting Vets/Rookies and Good Guys/Bad *** casts..but is there really much difference between those designations? The casts looks exactly the same pretty much either way it's split with a few exceptions. Most of the Vets team would be "Bad *****" like most of the Rookies would be "Good Guys"..The only people to me who don't fit that mold are Trey/Frank, but they can just as easily be balanced out with Leroy/Derek..If it really is a team challenge I can say it's a safe bet that CT/Johnny/Danny/Wes are on the same team

Molds can you confirm if Devyn is home???? She posted a pic today, guess theres no social media ban? Was Devyn for sure on the show?

[QUOTE=Blue123;339787] Molds can you confirm if Devyn is home???? She posted a pic today, guess theres no social media ban? [B]Was Devyn for sure on the show?[/B][/QUOTE] At this point - not as far as I can tell. I think she may have just taken a vacation at a similar time.

[QUOTE=molds13;339788]At this point - not as far as I can tell. I think she may have just taken a vacation at a similar time.[/QUOTE] You have also removed her from the cast list, right? So, is it possible that the missing female is a veteran? It would make the most sense IMO. Edit: Expect that there are already too many veteran girls.... Sorry, kinda messed it up, it´s the other way around,

Aneesa has been absent from social media lately.... Or has she already been ruled out?

[QUOTE=molds13;339788]At this point - not as far as I can tell. I think she may have just taken a vacation at a similar time.[/QUOTE] It is suspicious that she would decide to disappear right when the cast does [QUOTE=Fresh Meat;339791]Aneesa has been absent from social media lately.... Or has she already been ruled out?[/QUOTE] Ya maybe its Aneesa she hasnt tweeted since they left.

I'm not sure how many times I need to say that.

[QUOTE=molds13;339794]It is not rookies vs vets. I'm not sure how many times I need to say that.[/QUOTE] I've been saying this for months, no one listen.

[QUOTE=ILoveRW;339796]I've been saying this for months, no one listen.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's no one listening but the general social media opinion is "Ruins 2: Vets vs Rookies"..So when people are looking around for info and see that 100 times that's obvs going to be the generally assumed format, someone even made a new Twitter Old School vs New School Challenge account. Then we had a guy give the whole cast on this forum saying that was the format. Then the location is the same as the first Ruins. Then you look at the cast and it makes sense. The evidence is there but it's obvs not the case, now with the social media ban it's a lot harder to figure things out too. Plus "Old School vs New School" could have any team criteria made up, Vets/Rookies is a 2 Challenge breakdown whereas Old/NewSchool could be just as made up as "bad guys/good guys"

[QUOTE=molds13;339788]At this point - not as far as I can tell. I think she may have just taken a vacation at a similar time.[/QUOTE] So Devyn may not even be apart of the cast then?

I think this challenge is a new concept or Battle of the Sexes 3.

[QUOTE=WallyT09;339803]I think this challenge is a new concept or Battle of the Exes 3.[/QUOTE] You mean sexes?

I would love for it to be Battle of the Sexes, but I think it'll be a new format.

Which it isn't. He also completely gave up his sources way too easily, who could potentially get into trouble for leaking information. Do you guys know who my source(s) is/are? No. Did I know the cast was leaving March 24, long before he did? Yes. Did I broadcast it all over this site? No, because I value my sources and want to keep them. Sorry guys, but there are some things that I don't reveal until the time comes for good reason. I haven't done my usual research (read: I haven't done anything) into this challenge, as life comes first, so [B]all[/B] of my information is coming in second/third hand. However, I never claimed anyone to be "confirmed" or "locks", because I know better. So will there be some people wrong? Yeah, of course. Devyn is an example of that. But there will be a "confirmed" cast sometime soon.

Just Kidding. Totally understand.
