The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

[QUOTE=Entropy;142448]Yeah, one self obsessed idiot from Jersey is enough.[/QUOTE] Thats what I was saying, everyone is *****ing about Kenny. Do you really want 4 more Kenny's?

[QUOTE=tjhallow;142450]Thats what I was saying, everyone is *****ing about Kenny. Do you really want 4 more Kenny's?[/QUOTE] Except Kenny isn't a roided up freak. All these guys on Jersey Shore probably can't touch their right shoulder with their right hand. I'm sure Kenny can. Jersey Shore guys would not do good on challenges. All muscle no brains or stamina. They could probably pick up a house and throw it 300 yards but couldn't run for 10 seconds straight.

The only other MTV show that would've been any good at crossing over, just because of the competition aspect, would've been Tough Enough.

[QUOTE=Entropy;142241]I read a while back that Adam Larson wouldn't return..any reason why? He seems the type that would either back JEK completely or be dead set against them.[/QUOTE] I think he was going to focus on an acting career (I know he pursued that for a while, if he's not still doing so)? Or some other type of job. I think he was just ready to move on with his life, maybe.

They say they were pursuing it on the gauntlet 1 preview special. I saw some of their acting...it is really bad..That's probably one of the reasons why Katie moved out of L.A. and back to chicago.

I think 80% of castmembers try their hand at acting.

according to his twitter he is now in the wine business.

I think Adam could still do it but the question becomes would he want to. I would never expect Sean to try another Challenge besides just the heat he takes politically. He and Rachel have 6 kids. Looking back at the older Challenges, which I have been watching in chronological order, the people were much less vicious overall to each other. Both of the first Battles were remarkably civilized compared to the Ruins and Island. Sure there were a few things that happened but in broad comparison the difference is startling. When I watch them at home, I've been making notes on some of the Challenges they should bring back like the Dead Man's Drop (which Ruthie owned) and holding your breath underwater for a long time. Neither I believe would play to JEK's strength although Wes might do well on holding his breath. I also enjoyed the Final Challenge Relay on the BOTSeasons1. This makes a big difference at the end were everyone has to do their part.

The missions today are horrible compared to the old days. Older missions incorporated a lot of different aspects, phsyical, mental, emotional. Today, we have people rolling down a hill in a tire and plucking flowers.

In BOTSeasons1 post-hurricane, they had to scramble for a couple of missions and those were marginally better but they had to get them on the fly because of a hurricane! They were also paired up which I think would be a huge issue for some people, especially if the pairs were randomly drawn. Just imagine a male/female partnership who hate each other having to work together. It would be time to learn to get past their differences. The level of positivity is astoundingly different between BOTS and the Ruins.

Today, we have people rolling down a hill in a tire and plucking flowers.[/QUOTE] There have been some missions that have been relatively cool. Deep Blue Sea, the blocks on the Ruins where they had to pull people off of the poles, the one in the duel where they had to dive down and open 3 safes, rope burn wasnt that bad on the inferno 3

I liked the chili eating contest for an elimination on I1 ... no strength, no endurance, no puzzle, just mind over matter. ... That would have been an interesting elimination for some of these new kids to take on. All the physical prowess won't help you swallow spicy hot chilis any faster

I ******* loved the Abe-Timmy inferno from I3 it looked so awesome visually.

[QUOTE=Entropy;142612]according to his twitter he is now in the wine business.[/QUOTE] This is probably why he stopped the shows. I think he mentioned something about it after RR VR. I know he wanted to commit to a job. I just couldn't remember what the job was, and remembered he did pursue an acting career not that long ago before Viewer's Revenge.

So we all got our complaints about challenges and stuff, apart from JEK...what would u guys change about challenges?or what do you think would make them better?

I like the missions from BOTSexes/Seasons with a point system. However I guess that helps eliminate drama except for that a) those were the best challenges hmm..what a shocker and they didn't include fresh meat :) b) I think the point system would create more drama now because I highly doubt the "new generation" or whatever you want to call them would vote off based on the lowest amount of points.

The editing now is horrible. You can tell who will be going home after the first 15 minutes. Like in the episode of The Duel 2 when Katie went home she was actually shown!!! She was almost invisible until then. Same with Ibis on The Ruins.

Actually they've always done that.

I agree you think they could do better since the shows are an hour now.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;142884]Get rid of the Fresh Meat entirley. Make more challenges that don't require you to be some sort of muscled up athlete to do. Cast some people we havent seen in awhile (or have not yet done a challenge).[/QUOTE] I don't think getting rid of Fresh Meaters will really improve the show.

I agree Inferno 3 only had 2 fresh meaters and by all accounts that challenged sucked.

[QUOTE=Sticky734;142386]Does anyone think Cohutta is doing another challenge, because in his interview he said he had some things coming up but they were hush hush. Does anyone think he was talking about doing another challenge?[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if people get called this early for the next challenge. But Cohutta may have been talking about some businesses that he will open with some friends next year.

It's not just Fresh Meat there are Fresh Meat I'd like to see on challenges just not the same ones every challenge especially since the repeat offenders are the worst. It's just poor casting in cause as the show went downhill more of the cast came from the downhill seasons.

I agree, its not so much FM, its just the same people every challenge. I don't want see Evan, Kenny, Johnny, Derrick, Brad, Robin, Paula, Jenn, Katie, Diem or Ryan for awhile. And I like Evan, Kenny, Derrick, Brad, Katie..but we need new faces. And Casey, well I wouldn't care if she ever came back.

I am ready for Cancun girls to hit the challenges because they will bring drama, drama, drama!

[QUOTE=salt&vinegar;142981]I am ready for Cancun girls to hit the challenges because they will bring drama, drama, drama![/QUOTE] Me too..although I'll only be routing for Ayiiia.

I could see Emilee and Jasmine teaming up with someone and being the mean girls part 2.

I can see Emilee being JEKD pawn.
