Brad and CT have yet to win mostly because they've been unlucky. Brad should have made it to the end of BOTS2 but got screwed over by his team. He also should have made it to the end of Inferno 2, but instead of voting their weakest competitor (which was Darrell at the time), they put Brad, Landon, and Darrell's names in a hat to see who would have to replace Miz in the inferno against Abram. Had they gone off performance, Brad was outperforming Darrell in that challenge. And people around here love pointing out how ridiculous the final mission against Wes in the Duel was, though I have yet to see it...only Challenge episode since Battle of the Seasons that I have never sen.
CT DOMINATED Inferno 1 and 2, and his teams simply got beaten by better teams at the end. I just recently watched the Duel, and in the mission before the final, CT said that he was doing all the work on the surfboard with Jodi, and by the time he got to the halfway point he was spent. Then he DQed in the Duel. If he didn't get drunk and riled up he would have won Inferno 3 and possibly Duel 2 as well.
Hate to rehash points that I know have been made on here before about their bad luck but CT and Brad are two of my favorite people on the Challenges, and just because neither have won one doesn't mean they shouldn't be mentioned with the top competitors. CT is IMO the best performer the Challenge has ever seen. I hope we haven't seen the last of these two.

Physically CT is amazing. But mentally he is weak and screws himself over. For one in the Duel where he got DQ'd and in G3 for leaving Eric on the team- I know that wasnt a mental lapse, but you have to be pretty dumb to think Eric would do fine in the final mission and you have to be pretty dumb to believe his whole "I have heart and determination" discourse.

I'll tell you how, CT...

I don't think calling him mentally weak is quite accurate. He spearheaded the campaign to get rid of Leah in the first Inferno, who was easily their weakest player and was holding their team back. They probably would have won a couple more missions had she not been there.
As far as G3 goes, you really can't pin that entirely on CT since the Rookies did not throw him OR Eric into the gauntlet...which was actually a great strategy since they figured that CT was the only one who would call out Eric. The vets didn't want to risk Evan (who was their best player other than CT) going against Big Easy in Ram it Home or Force Field. It was still relatively early in the game at this point, so at the time, the vets were more concerned with making sure Evan did not go home. It also didn't help that the veterans only had two male gauntlets, and since Adam was saved on the first one, Eric was saved on the final gauntlet before the mission. It wouldn't have mattered either way, Eric would have still been there in the end. I think it's less the veterans fault, since they won all but 2 of the guy gauntlet days, and more the rookies coming up with a good strategy.
[QUOTE=morris614;148598][B]Its pretty obvious you put Johnny and Kenny there just because you do not like them.[/B]They have each won multiple times, and there are several people who have not.
[B]Please explain why you think they are tied with Ryan as the worst ever [/B](Danny and Dunbar are two names that come to mind of people who could be considered worst- and I am sticking to people who do multiple challenges, you may have or may not have) because there is no way those two can be considered the worst.[/QUOTE]
Actually I don't have a promblem with Kenny yes he won alot of challanges But most he never really proved himself as a comp. by going into Ruins and things like that....etc.Socially he the bes but physically he is not.
P.s I never comapred them to Ryan just put who I thought.

I don't know if this was directed at me, but I'll take a stab at it anyway... I wasn't saying that it was all CT, I was just responding based on the quote that was given. The rookies had no reason to throw in Eric, he was their best asset on the Vets team, as we all saw in the final mission. And I doubt CT would've called in Eric. He usually plays the game smart, and calling out Eric wouldn't have been in his own best interest. Overall for the team? Yeah. But not good for him, or anyone else that went in.

TheQuietOne, I actually laughed when I saw that picture. The CT/Johnny quote I put more to show how nonchalant CT was about putting Johnny in the gauntlet. And I remember at the reunion that Eric was talking about how the life jacket he had to wear in the final mission was too small for him and he claimed that it affected his performance. I was watching an episode of G3 the other day. The mission was the sled pulling over the water, and before the mission started, Coral and a few others had to jam Eric into his life jacket, so maybe that claim is legit...who knows.

Even if his claim was legit, that life jacket was the least of Eric's problems.
Even befor that they really were taking forever to dig it out. Once though, it was announced that they couldn't win everyone stopped except for Frank. That is why some people thought he was worthy of more money.
I'm not disagreeing with him being more worthy at all. I think he said the girls chose to go lay out and get a tan. I'm just not sure how long it actually took Eric to swim a mile. I have a hard time believing it would take longer than a hour and that Evan might have overexaggerated.
Yeah knowing Evan he probably did but if your team thinks that before the first leg fully complete that you won't finish then that iis pretty sad. Also taking an hour to do that would still be sad considering someone was pulling you through the water.
Also it would have taken some time for the paramedics to deal with Eric. I am sure production had them near just in case (at least I hope) but the paramedics Im sure took their time when dealing with him. The fact that the rookies had to be digging a long *** time before the vets arrived. Its kinda sad that they didnt finish.
On the Evan and Kenny quote- I do fell that Frank and Jillian deserved the money more then Tori, Johanna, and Nehemiah. The alliance that ran the rookies team is part of the reason they sucked so hard, though I guess it may not have made a difference.
Yeah that Nehemiah got stuck with most of the easier opponents such as Ryan and Alex, while frank got stuck agianst people like MJ who was questionably the strongest member of the team really was unfair. Also the rookies lost lots of good competitors to the stupid faceoff known as the puzzle. Derrek and Zack both lost this way and they both did very well in challenges and would have performed well in a final mission.
It's just tragic how the rookies team sucked so bad from the start. The only decent females they had were Tori and Jill. They had three decent males at most, and...let's compare that to who the veterans had: CT, Evan, Brad, Coral, Paula, Ev, Diem...CT alone could wipe the floor with the pathetic rookies team. Seriously, Ryan, Alex, Angel, Tyler, Tyrie, Brooke??? My god, that had to have been the worst team in challenge history. Worse than the Challengers. I never understood how they got away with such dreadful casting that allowed for such lopsided competition...
[QUOTE=Desertpuma;149126]Wasn't this Casey's 3rd Challenge? That would make her a veteran next time around ... want to bet she gets dumped into the Elimination very early[/QUOTE]
Casey was a veteran as of Gauntlet III, her third challenge. That's why she was on the...wait for it...veterans team.
A person is considered a veteran after their second challenge, not their third.
The rookies also had Janelle who was a decent player. I always thought Tyler would've been a decent player if he stuck around more. Gay people are always targeted on these shows because they're considered weak.
I actually completely forgot about the Rookies winning Gauntlet 3 when I filled my ballot thinger. That's actually probably the biggest upset but I still laugh at the fact that Trishelle beat Steve in a puzzle.
The idea that gay people are considered weak is just not true. First off, look at all the lesbians. Those people are certainly never considered weak, with the exception of Brooke maybe, but she's not really a lesbian. She's more of a straight person who makes out with Evelyn. Anyways, I think Tyler was voted off just because he's annoying, and non one really liked Ryan either. Davis, on the other hand, showed he was pretty strong in the Inferno 3, but I think the ******** were just too scared to go against Alton and in fact, they chose Johnny, probably because it was last the men's inferno and the ****** men just wanted a spot in the final mission.
No matter what anybody says the gauntlet 3 is the best challenge so far because it had a very mixed up cast and it had a lot of diifferent drama going on and plus it was the first challenge that I actually knew the cast before the season actually aired
