[QUOTE=TeamLandon;428387]It is quite ridiculous. Cory is out of luck. But BMP chose not to use Brian and Jenny. Supports my theory that the producers don't like him (i.e the editing he received in the final episodes of RW). Everyone(minus Ash and Ari) from Explosion got availability calls. Lo and Ashley said no. The rest said yes. Because Lo and Ashley declined, that only left Jenny for Cory. So instead of calling back Brian, they decided to go with Jenny and Cory because he's clearly their favorite from that season. But out of respect for Brian, Jenny declined. And yes, they all knew it's gonna be exes. So instead of just calling back Brian and Jenny once she declined being paired with Cory, they scratched them all together and went with Tom and Hailey. BMP sucks... I wouldn't be surprised if Brian's never called for a challenge again. And I can't tell you how I know this..[/QUOTE] From what I understand, Brian declined himself.
NO Darrell, NO Brian, NO Cory. This is disastrous.
[QUOTE=Youssarian;428393]From what I understand, Brian declined himself.[/QUOTE] Not what I heard.
[QUOTE=TeamLandon;428396]Not what I heard.[/QUOTE] My source which I trust, told me that he decline that person would know more than anyone on this site about him lol

Hey PR (or anyone who knows), as the cast is coming together more and more before official departure and 110% confirmation! any idea as to how many teams we are shooting for? I would assume just one or two more than Exes had considering they lost a pair or two near the end of casting?

But I don't know if it's 100% true or confirm.
If this is Exes 2 and this is the speculated cast I hope the final 3 are Jordan/Sarah because Sarah needs a win she's been screwed over so many times by ****** partners in the past it'll be nice to see her win, Leroy/Theresa because I love RoyLee and I would like to see how Theresa can do on a Final, and Zach/Jonna because I'd hate to see Johnny & Nany make it and I would like to see Jonna in a Final

I dont know how makes more sense to have johnny paired with nany (if thats the final cast) instead of CT/nany unless CT doesnt want to do this challenge, I dont see production choosing johnny over CT.
Is Johnny R going to be next season? Does he has a ex? I lost that page where all the names were
[QUOTE=kollanekoer;428426]Is Johnny R going to be next season? Does he has a ex? I lost that page where all the names were[/QUOTE] He has ex-girlfriend Averey and sloppy hook-up Nany.
[QUOTE=stuufman;428412]I dont know how makes more sense to have johnny paired with nany (if thats the final cast) instead of CT/nany unless CT doesnt want to do this challenge, I dont see production choosing johnny over CT.[/QUOTE] Lets leave them both at home. 10 challenges is enough. But I'd take CT over bananas. Did ct hook up with Nany though? They may pair her with Reilly if Averey said no. Also I don't think Zach and Jonna will be the team to beat. Exes 1 and nothe rivals showed you are only as strong as your weakes player and Jonna is outmatched by several girls being discussed. I know it's a huge topic of debate that's discussed watched time and each time she has failed to do something that has proven her worth
I believe CT and Nany hooked up on Rivals II although I don't think they had sex, and Diem was upset about that for a while. Then they made up when CT told her she looked beautiful without the wig, and then they got in a fight again towards the end of the season, and then Diem blew up at Cooke and others. While I would love to see CT and Bird on a Challenge since it would be such a mismatched partnership, it sounds like that won't happen. Nany would obviously work for Reilly, CT, and apparently Bananas, but it would be the biggest stretch for Bananas since it was off-camera. When did it happen anyway? In the vicinity of Seasons? That would be more contrived than the Frank "rivalry", in my opinion. If they had to choose between CT and Bananas, I'd hope production would select CT, assuming both guys are interested and Nany is the only viable female for either since Casey, Shauvon, Bird, Laurel, and Diem aren't doing it this season, and apparently Mandi wasn't asked. Did Svetlana and Johnny even hook up? I didn't watch the entire Key West season.
Any more info on Sahar (and Eric?)?
[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;428542]Any more info on Sahar (and Eric?)?[/QUOTE] Doubt they made the cut, I haven't heard anything else about them.
It's extremely unfair to Darrell that Bananas keeps getting asked back (and they're willing to give him Nany as a partner to secure another victory) but they won't even give Darrell a chance to come back. Yes Bananas has the most wins now, but only because they never gave Darrell an opportunity to defend his title.

[QUOTE=RobbKingo;428410]Zach/Jonna are the team to beat Zach has the brawn and Jonna the brain. they can walk away with the first place if Bananas/Nany (no sure yet) dont make the finals.[/QUOTE] Zach needs to be ready for a final for them to be the team to beat

Seeing him destroy his competition and let **** know they're **** (KellyAnne) is entertaining. The Exes cast list looks like complete s*** in my opinion. They should have just done a Rivals 3 so we could see Cory on this.

And Darrell could've had his 5th win a long time ago on The Ruins. So it's really his fault.

He would have been stuck in either Rivals or Exes.
[QUOTE=gamer73;428376]Didn't Beth say she would return while Free Agents was airing and that she was never retired only taking and starting a family? Was that before she was in talks with Bravo?[/QUOTE] It was before the BRAVO discussion, and we put that on her Facebook page a bit tongue-in-cheek, piggybacking on Mark Long's twitter comment re-posted on Facebook.

Guys just a thought here not doubting anyone but why are we all automatically assuming (seems a little more than just speculation)that it is BOTE2??
[QUOTE=thomas82393;428649]Guys just a thought here not doubting anyone but why are we all automatically assuming (seems a little more than just speculation)that it is BOTE2??[/QUOTE] 3 reasons: 1. People have been dropped because their possible "Exes" have declined. If it wasn't Exes, then Cory would have received a final call. 2. People that got calls fit the exes theme. THat's what cast memebrs are expecting based on the speculated cast. 3. Well, They need Ratings Exes have been the highest rated season in 9 seasons. Why shouldn't they do it? Specially after those Mediocre Ratings of Free Agents? Susanne Daniels is Thirsty for those ratings.

You really think production would force bananas/nany? It'll probably be like tyrie/dummybear's edit when they found out they were paired on rivals II.

BMP looks at this data and decides Johnny B. is still the golden boy that will continue leading them to the promise land yet. How many times do these idiots have to keep making the same mistakes before they finally get the picture and try something else?

I came back after a couple season hiatus of The Challenges because of three main pairs, those being Mark / Robin, Aneesa / Rachel, and CT / Diem...six competitors that I grew up watching and loved seeing them compete. I was also a bit ecstatic to see Abram and Paula as part of the format. I'm not saying that the speculated cast that's been pointed out won't be a disappointment for a sequel, but to assume that Exes will bring in big ratings is a bit much, don't you think?
