Dunbar does crossfit and does so regularly, I think we know how athletic he is. Countless people do and it does not give them athleticism, that isn't something you learn
Actually you do learn it . Heres the defintion ... CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Last time i checked you learn from programs . You know that right ?
Yeah, no you do not learn athleticism, that is something naturally you have or don't have in your abilities. This is getting redundant so I'll stop here
Out of all the Gauntlet Seasons the second one is the best.
Cast wise, yes
Overall, 1 holds dear to my heart. It just looked fun and the cast was mostly likeable
I agree, was watching The Gauntlet on YouTube and the vibe is so different than it is now. You can tell the cast had so much fun with each other and treated their experience like a fun vacation. There was still drama but the environment was more chill and relaxing. Now, the environment is stressful as ****.
It's funny how the first two seasons of The Gauntlet and The Inferno were legendary but their third seasons flopped lol
Its like talking to a brick wall im going to stop here too . I mean someone whose never been athletic in there life can go to a gym and become athletic . Im leaving it at that .

Yupp it sure is. And I know first hand that it is true because I have been through it.
The only thing Emily could beat Laurel in is something where you pick something up and put it down or something to do with brute strength. Laurel is a better athlete IMO.
Not really as much as i like laurel the first season she had kenney . I mean thats way better than having ty as a partner . Then she also had cara , sarah , abram and luke as team mates . Thats way way better than having jen . I mean emilys had some sucky partners/ team mates . The only one
I thought was decent was paula .

Not just looking at finals Laurel performed way better than Emily on Cutthroat during challenges.

Idk why but this comment bothers me.... People aren't brick walls just because they don't agree with you ****.
And I'd say that Cara Maria does crossfit but I feel others are more naturally athletic than she is.

there is a difference between being healthy or in shape or athletic. Most people that go to the gym only qualify for the first two
sure you can make yourself athletic by mediocre standards but your peak and how fast you advanced is determined by your genetics. If you have shit base level hand eye coordination, reaction time, reflexes, balance then you're going to plateau at some point and You might become decent or even "good" by fat American pedestrian standards if you dedicate every waking hour of your life to whatever it is you're trying to improve but you're probably never going to be truly exceptional.
you can teach a dog to walk on its hind legs but it's going to be mediocre two legged walker at best
most dudes that end up in the gym only make their muscles puffier or bloated aka hypertrophic anyways. You can't actually effectively change the amount of muscle cells you have "hyperplasia" which is what is needed in athletics

Yeah KA has shown a lot, but she also was just flatout demolished by Evelyn. It wasn't even close at all and was hard to watch how much KA was trying to make Evelyn budge and Everything was standing there looking bored. Evelyn is a beast and the best female competitor to date, but it's still fair to point out imo. I would say Camila has a pretty good mental state tho. Despite her meltdowns, she can almost always keep it together (only exception being FA). She can be the outsider and still fight in elimination rounds like Cutthroat and Seasons 2.
Getting demolished by Evelyn doesn't really take away your ability or lessen you as a competitor lol considering Evelyn is basically a dude and Alton couldn't even reel her in when he was in his prime...
That's true which is why I mentioned how great Evelyn is, but if we're gonna technically count that as a win, let's remember what also happened in that elimination round.
I wouldn't even count that as a win considering Evelyn let KellyAnne win.
I love KellyAnne but I agree.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with Kenny since I can't stand him but he was so on point when he said "What's the point of hurting your friend when you're just gonna let her win anyway? It makes no sense." lol if Evelyn was sick of everyone and wanted to quit, she should've just done that instead of torturing KellyAnne in that elimination.
i like Evelyn but she was just being a boastful and egotistical when she did that. It was her way of saying "I'm the best and im going to show you" and that would've been justifiable given how she got screwed over but she did it at the cost of humiliating her best friend

I agree with that and that's why I said "technically". I know KA would have lost if Ev tried. The only person who can beat Ev if they were on the same season is Emily. The point I was trying to make is that KA was feared by everyone and none of the girls wanted to go up against her. KA is a beast and is elite in my eyes. I really hope she's on this next challenge.
She may have been feared but she slowed Sarah down during that final. I love KellyAnne but she is not on the same level as Ev, Laurel, Emily etc.
it was probably just oversight on how far ahead of the champions they were. I didnt think it proved that sarah was more athletic than KA though since sarah was the one with the pressure of having to play catch up to KA during the rest of the race.
Will emily performed way better than Laurel on her rivals season.
It only seemed that way because Emily had a better partner (Paula > Cara Maria at the time) and Emily/Paula barely had any competition. Anything else? You can go on and think Emily is better and I will go on and think Laurel is better. Thats it.
Jenn has always been a good competitor even since her first challenge but people fail to see that because they don't like her
I don't get how people view her as a good competitor. And I am not basing this decision off of whether I do or don't like Jenn. I cannot stand Lebron James but I think he is a **** of a ball player. So if a competitor is good, I will say so regardless of whether I like them or not. I really don't understand where people think Jenn is "good". I think she is more "average" than anything.
The Inferno 3- she beat 2 of the weakest most pathetic girls in challenge history and to be honest I don't remember how she performed on the challenges, I just know she was the only healthy girl on her team that didn't win a lifeshield.
The Island- you can't judge someone's athletic ability on this challenge.
The Duel 2- she beat Katie who is mediocre, Kimberly who was pretty good, and lost to Diem in a game that Jenn had played twice already and Jenn is much more fiesty and tenacious than Diem. Didn't win any challenges nor did she ever come close to winning a challenge.
Fresh Meat II- once again skated to end based on politics alone, won a challenge, beat a weak team of Ryan & Theresa, and came in last place on the final challenge. Still they get some credit for winning a challenge and elimination.
Cutthroat- for a 2nd time in a row, skated to end based on politics, performed pretty decent on the challenges, but was never the reason they won and didn't outshine the girls on her team and came in last place for the 2nd time.
Rivals- and for a 3rd time a row, skated to the end, won one challenge, never proved herself in an elimination round, she DQ'd on three of the challenges, and didn't come close in any of the other challenges. Had an absolute **** poor performance in the final challenge and came in last for a record 3rd time in a row. That is what happens when you let a JV player to the final every season with Varsity players. I personally think Jenn is the perfect example of let the weaker player to the finals every time to gaurantee higher than last place.
She really is not that great. Average at best.
Inferno 3 she was average here and that's ok considering it was her first challenge and straight off of her season after months of partying. Showed that she at least had a competitors mentality even if her physical form wasn't equal
island bananas gave her props and said she had the ability to be a competitor. Nothing was displayed to us tho
duel 2 same as inferno 3. Fighter brain with a couch potato body. You should give her credit for diems duel tho. Diem won through purely strategy and no physical force since jenn was the one pushing her around. Diem never even pushes jenn off....sort of just steps to the side and let's jenn lose her balance which is smart but doesn't mean much in a discussion about physical ability
fm2 didn't do much here. She did so one thing in the beginning where she was the only girl next to Laurel and ev to cross those logs albeit with an inferior time
cuthroat did excellent here. You can't fault her for not being the reason her team won. That's an impossible standard to hold her or anyone to since there are only a handful of instances in team challenge history where an individual is responsible for the teams win. She performed about as well as a girl could perform along with Laurel and maybe someone else, amongst a stacked girl cast
rivals considering that she had mandi as a partner while ev and Laurel had cara and Paula, jenn did well
dqed in car crusher, hammock crawl
3rd place high dive
Seconds from 1st place on the catch release,
fastest time on kayak and sawed off(Evelyn only had this win due to a technicality)
She was average her first 4 challenges but She upped her game on cutthroat and rivals and was performing at the top or near the top by this point despite being in the same competitive ring as laurel who usually makes most girls look like shit
I detest Jenn, but I can't deny that she should have at least won a challenge. Jenn, Kellyanne and Diem (R.I.P) all are/were due for a win. If Jenn & Emily still had Derrick (or even Bananas), Blue would have won easily on Cutthroat. Kellyanne/Sarah should have (and could have) won The Ruins if it wasn't for that **** puzzle. Diem got screwed twice (Big Easy in the Gauntlet 3 and CT in Exes 1)
kelly Anne might have the potential for tier 1 but she needs to show viewers more. one excellent showing but preferably two
If theresa came back And gave us just one more season or even half a season on par with exes then she could sit safely at tier 1. I consider her last season as tier 1 work but not cutthroat or free agents. Her baby will more than likely hold her at tier 1.5 tho since she won't come back because of it
Cooke is the same
sarah is iffy. She's had 8ish seasons but almost every time there's one chick who makes her look like the back up ***** that you only go to if the #1 gets jfk'd. On ruins it was KA, exes was theresa, cutthroat was Laurel. Only on seasons was she #1 and that was because that season was filled with a bunch of "special" people. Being top student in remedial cl*** doesn't mean anything
I tend to think of tier 1 people as those that have more than one season as established alphas
ka, theresa and Cooke and camila are all noticeably better than #2s like Paula and tori, diem but are pending admittance to #1
i think nany is tier 2
cara Maria? I don't even care. I lost interest in her rusty stale moldy *** after challenge/failure 357 with Rachel or Landon or <insert elite partner> as babysitter. Don't give a shit if she sends everyone home singlehandedly and wins on challenge 358. ***** already missed her deadline to get me to care like 100 seasons ago. Too late

In my opinion to be "tier 1" or "level 1" You have to be REALLY impressive not just do well but almost dominate. If you are regarded as almost unstoppable in eliminations and have a great track record then I'd put them up there. Of the last few challenges I would only put Laurel, Emily, Ev, Rachel up there. Jodi could be up there too I just feel like she didn't have as big of competition when she was doing challenges. I think Cooke would probably be up there too if she did another challenge. People like KellyAnne, Camila and Sarah I'd put right below them.
People love to act like Jenn wasn't statistically one of the best performers on Cutthroat.. Emily was not great on Cutthroat, I mean she wasn't horrible but she didn't dominate like on R2. Jenn was the one trying to motivate Emily during the finals...Please remember that.
Yeah i think emily has better endurance to.
Hmmm guess I'd give that to her, but swimming, athletic ability, puzzles and the rest would be in Laurel's favor
Id give laurel puzzels and swimming . But atheltic abillites has to also go to Emily . She not only does cross fit . But she teaches it
Doing crossfit doesn't not make you athletic, I mean why the **** would it?
Have you seen cross fit . Have you seen emilys body from it . Crossfit is the defintion of athleticism . If its not i dont know what is
Dunbar does crossfit and does so regularly, I think we know how athletic he is. Countless people do and it does not give them athleticism, that isn't something you learn

No laurel is not a better athelte . She just has height and a big form . But other than that emily is a beast when is comes to atheltisim .
Laurel had proved to be better and has been one of if not the best girl every season she's been on.
Not really as much as i like laurel the first season she had kenney . I mean thats way better than having ty as a partner . Then she also had cara , sarah , abram and luke as team mates . Thats way way better than having jen . I mean emilys had some sucky partners/ team mates . The only one

unpoular opinion: Zach beasting on almost every mission on Free Agents is impressive and thats why i put him as tier 1.
o course this is an opinion so no one needs to come up with paragrapg long reasons why he isn't
Darrell is one of the only old-schoolers I wouldn't mind returning. Mainly because he needs some redemption given how he went out his last 2 shows.
