The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 - Informed Speculation (Spoilers)

Ayiiia was arguably the star of the Cancun season. Her vs Joey was probably the biggest storyline aside from the Jasmine/Jonna/Pat(was that his name?) love triangle. It's really surprising that she hasn't been asked to do more and instead we get Jasmine all the time. Jonna doesn't bother me that much but Emilee needs to stay home from now on. She added nothing to 3 episodes or however long she was on.

[QUOTE=Stevo;431898]It kinda disappoints me that everyone is doing these pre alliances though. Not only do they probably have as good of an idea as to whose being on the show/who they're gonna be teamed with as we do, but it takes the fun out of the scramble that would ensue if they were to show up having no prior knowledge of who would be on, who they'd be teamed with, and aligned with.[/QUOTE] They ALWAYS have preseason alliance no matter the format. They did for Free Agents and they didn't even know what was the format lol [QUOTE=Karisa502;431901]Heather works out and is fit, just doesn't constantly post pictures of her stomach like Jessica does. Heather knows she is cute, doesn't need everyone to praise her like Jessica does.[/QUOTE] Heather doesn't crave camara time and have a well develop personality, she can give 3 ****s of people opinions about her. Unlike Jess she is not always looking for people approval and for them to accept her. Doesn't have that need for attention. They are offering Heather more than what Jessica is getting pay for her appearance on this challenge self explanatory on who production values more lol Heather personality >>> Jess personality Heather was a black belt>>> Jessica new love for crossfit [QUOTE=Karisa502;431904]Jess with Frank and Aiiya ... guess someones in LA getting tested..... [ATTACH]5825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] She have been in LA for the last week visiting family, but most likely also taking a day off to get her testing going. By the way why can't we get Ayiiia back , but instead we are stuck with that girl with the crazy smile SMH

[QUOTE=nevidcm;431911]Bring back Ayiiia, she looks stunning in that picture.[/QUOTE] I never got the hype about her, everyone wanted to see Emilee come back and she sucked

If it wasn't for Ayiiia, that season would have sucked big time. Not only that, but she showed on Cutthroat that she could actually compete, but NO, we're stuck with Jasmine five seasons in a row. Jonna has grown on me a lot since Rivals and Emilee is good to look at but sucks at challenges. I don't know if she has declined or simply they haven't asked her back, but she needs to do a comeback soon.

They decide not to go with Jonna or EMilee. seasons 2 - Wasn't ask Rivals 2- Alternative team with Cara Maria Free Agents- Wasn't ask This season- Wasn't ask

I would rather have someone who does crossfit (Jessica) than someone who was a blackbelt (Heather) on a Challenge.

[QUOTE=JayTee;431923]I would rather have someone who does crossfit (Jessica) than someone who was a blackbelt (Heather) on a Challenge.[/QUOTE] I think your nuts on this one but to each their own

I'm gonna go back and rewatch Cutthroat just to see her lol

[QUOTE=kvm1977;431924]I think your nuts on this one but to each their own[/QUOTE] So knowing self defense will help better in a final than someone who is conditioned due to crossfit? How the **** does being a blackbelt help in a Challenge type of competition?

[QUOTE=JayTee;431923]I would rather have someone who does crossfit (Jessica) than someone who was a blackbelt (Heather) on a Challenge.[/QUOTE] Heather could kick Jessica's *** easily in a elimination, cross fit means nothing if you know how to use size against someone......

[QUOTE=JayTee;431926]So knowing self defense will help better in a final than someone who is conditioned due to crossfit? How the **** does being a blackbelt help in a Challenge type of competition?[/QUOTE] Jessica have say herself on Spreetcast that she doesn't have endurance and is not good in puzzless...Your point? SHe will be great in a final....Probably not. There is a huge different of doing crossfit, going to the gym and being an athlete.

[QUOTE=JayTee;431926]So knowing self defense will help better in a final than someone who is conditioned due to crossfit? How the **** does being a blackbelt help in a Challenge type of competition?[/QUOTE] There's so much more to it than self defense I know plenty of people that do Cross Fit that aren't even decent athletes and never will be. You take Jess...I'll take Heather.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;431928]Jessica have say herself on Spreetcast that she doesn't have endurance and is not good in puzzless...Your point? SHe will be great in a final....Probably not. There is a huge different of doing crossfit, going to the gym and being an athlete.[/QUOTE] You don't need to be an athlete to win a Challenge though. How the **** would being a black belt help in a Challenge where you're running and doing crossfit type of missions and not fighting?

[QUOTE=kvm1977;431929]There's so much more to it than self defense I know plenty of people that do Cross Fit that aren't even decent athletes and never will be. You take Jess...I'll take Heather.[/QUOTE] But the Challenge is basically Crossfit with a couple twists. Knowing how to fight has no benefit in this type of competition aside from a couple of eliminations where you have to grapple.

[QUOTE=JayTee;431932]You don't need to be an athlete to win a Challenge though. How the **** would being a black belt help in a Challenge where you're running and doing crossfit type of missions and not fighting?[/QUOTE] You're not making any sense here

[QUOTE=JayTee;431933]But the Challenge is basically Crossfit with a couple twists. Knowing how to fight has no benefit in this type of competition aside from a couple of eliminations where you have to grapple.[/QUOTE] No, it isn't

I just generally like Heather better. But i would agree jess is a better athlete

[QUOTE=nevidcm;431911]Bring back Ayiiia, she looks stunning in that picture.[/QUOTE] This so much. I'm surprised and disappointed Ayiiia hasn't turned up on more challenges.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;431935]No, it isn't[/QUOTE] How is it not? Hanging on to ropes, running with balls, etc... black belts don't do that kind of stuff. The Challenge has a lot of Crossfit elements to it. How would knowing how to fight be more of a benefit than crossfit?

[QUOTE=Karisa502;431904]Jess with Frank and Aiiya ... guess someones in LA getting tested..... [ATTACH]5825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] Ayiiia :love_heart:

[QUOTE=JayTee;431932]You don't need to be an athlete to win a Challenge though. How the **** would being a black belt help in a Challenge where you're running and doing crossfit type of missions and not fighting?[/QUOTE] How no having endurance and sucking at puzzles is going to help you win a challenge? she say that herself on a spreetcast with Latoya.

[QUOTE=Stevo;431898]It kinda disappoints me that everyone is doing these pre alliances though.

[QUOTE=JayTee;431938]How is it not? Hanging on to ropes, running with balls, etc... black belts don't do that kind of stuff. The Challenge has a lot of Crossfit elements to it. How would knowing how to fight be more of a benefit than crossfit?[/QUOTE] You keep pretending that somehow the black belt ONLY means she's a fighter...that's nonsense. I can't try to have a reasonable conversation with someone that can't comprehend simple things when they don't fit into their argument

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;431941]How amazing would it be if there were a twist that will make these alliances null and void?[/QUOTE] Explain how There will always be alliances--that's part of any competition like this

[QUOTE=kvm1977;431942]You keep pretending that somehow the black belt ONLY means she's a fighter...that's nonsense. I can't try to have a reasonable conversation with someone that can't comprehend simple things when they don't fit into their argument[/QUOTE] I can't have a reasonable argument with someone who denies that the Challenge incorporates a lot of crossfit elements. I love how you ignored my points about hanging on to ropes, running with balls, jumping onto platforms etc... are all things Crossfit does. I thought you see supposed to be a lawyer? Why are you ignoring certain things from my post?

The thought of Cancun's BOTSeasons team being CJ, Bronne, Jonna, and Ayiiia is so good. God, BOTSeasons could have been so amazing if they switched up some teams. Give me Baya, Scott, Ryan, and Sarah for Brooklyn and have a full LV2 team (Nany, Dustin, Heather, Leroy ideally) and throw in DC and you've got it made. Okay, I'm way off topic now sorry.

[QUOTE=JayTee;431933]But the Challenge is basically Crossfit with a couple twists. Knowing how to fight has no benefit in this type of competition aside from a couple of eliminations where you have to grapple.[/QUOTE] *** are you talking about the challenge isn't cross fit........

[QUOTE=auldx;431936]I just generally like Heather better. But i would agree jess is a better athlete[/QUOTE] She is NOT an athlete, she does "crossfit" and goes to the gym. An athlete is someone that plays an sport in my opinion, she is physical fit/athletic which is different because she does crossfit that build strength but she is NOT anywhere near an athlete.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;431940]How no having endurance and sucking at puzzles is going to help you win a challenge? she say that herself on a spreetcast with Latoya.[/QUOTE] And how would you know that Heather has more endurance than Jessica if Heather hasn't shown anything on a Challenge?

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;431949]*** are you talking about the challenge isn't cross fit........[/QUOTE] Obviously it isn't but a Challenge incorporates crossfit elements (platform jumping, rope climbing, obstacles, etc...)
