[QUOTE=JL81790;445700]I hope Wes gets a decent partner. That way this delusion of him still being a top flight competitor can evaporate when he loses.[/QUOTE]
How is Wes not? Did you just not watch Fresh Meat or Ruins or Rivals II? Dude is a proven beast. He is likely the best all around competitor if he was on this show.
[QUOTE=MTV Junky;445704]I mean he most definitely was a top flight competitor up until he lost a lot of weight. He is a different type of competitor now.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. That's why I said still. He was among the best until Fresh Meat 2. Then the gas started to go...then starting with Exes the muscle and the politics started to go...now the only way he gets a win is if you hitch him to CT and hope that he keeps his mouth shut and gets a few timely swimming challenges. If Ruins Wes came back he'd be the best guy going not named Johnny Bananas...however that is not the case.
[QUOTE=mattmtv;445710]Would someone mind just going over who the realistic speculated competitors are for this season?[/QUOTE]
Sure.
Danny and Melinda
Knight and Jemmye
Jordan and Sarah/Nia
Leroy and Nia/Theresa
Johnny Reilly and Averey
Dustin and Jessica
Zach and Jonna
Bananas and Nany
Jay and Jenna
Thomas and Hailey
Those 10 seem guaranteed at this point, or close to it.
If Wes and Sarah come, there will be 11 teams. Wes would be with Theresa, Leroy with Nia, Jordan with Sarah.
Then there are some teams that could be on, like Swift and LaToya, Trey and Laura, Eric and Sahar, and Dunbar and Ashli. At this point, I have to sadly say there is very little chance of Darrell and Rachel. I don't think they would lie to their loyal customers. I think it'll be very hard to get 14 teams.

no eric/sahar? im mad. what happened to the days where we had at least one new couple/cast members?
I think that is a solid cast. I'd prefer more old schoolers, but BMP/MTV sucks so that is unrealistic. There are solid competitors, lots of opportunities for drama and fights. My fingers are just crossed for Ashli.
Wes is not the same anymore. He has to make up for his lack of strength by playing a quiet game. But on the same token, Wes is still better than most of the speculated male cast members imo

Yes. This is a fair, objective statement. I'd put him probably in the top half on experience alone + he's an elite swimmer (even though last season had 0 swimming challenges). But to say he'd be all around the best guy there? Ridiculous...

100% agree! Especially since the elimination rounds usually cater to the "bigger" person, his chances of winning eliminations like he used to are diminished. Hopefully, he goes far though, and he's rocking the ********** the whole way
[QUOTE=JayTee;445737]Wes has shares in more than 30 companies now.[/QUOTE]
The question is whether or not any of them make money.
I do appreciate him for his absurdity. I remember when he said that thinking "No...you own a piece of them through start up money that a company that you work for has given them". He went on Grantland to give an interview and said "I'm really embarrassed that I said that, I was totally wrong" and I thought he was going to correct himself but then he said "I actually own forty". His team contributed start up money...so he owns a piece of a piece. Silly ginger.

Yes, he's made money. We've discussed a number of his ventures since I've had some experience in start up companies. He's also far more grounded now than he was seven years ago.

The quote I'm referring to was less than two years ago. Of course it was likely also "camera" Wes.

I'd really like to know castmembers side of their relationship with V1man.
[QUOTE=AshKelseyFan;445687]Ugh no Ashley Kelsey again????
I'm not a big fan of Johnny Reilly, but I love Averey so I guess I'll root for them. Really weak cast though in my opinion.[/QUOTE]
Do we know for sure she's not going? Too bad :upset:
[QUOTE=RobbioRobbio;445751]is Frank definitely not on it? I'm wondering if they'd make a Frank/Derek team[/QUOTE]
I saw on his instagram that he's moving. That takes some time right? So I don't think so but I sure hope so!
[QUOTE=Saloua;445752]Do we know for sure she's not going? Too bad :upset:[/QUOTE]
I don't think anything is for sure as of right now, but it's not looking good for Ashley. :(
[QUOTE=AshKelseyFan;445762]I don't think anything is for sure as of right now, but it's not looking good for Ashley. :([/QUOTE]
She's partying in Vegas right now but that is because of her birtday and that was 3 days ago so maybe!
I sure hope so since my other two faves (Nia/Nany) are also on this challenge.

I can't imagine you have anything to worry about there
[QUOTE=WesIsTheBest;445730]"Johnny has 5 wins, but I have 30 companies." - Wes with his ***************]
I Can't stand Wes but that one was good. Anytime he takes a shot at Backpack I am amused and on his side.
