The gauntlet 2 should've been Veteran vs. Rookie gauntlets

I like it but there's a decent chance the entire rookie team would have been sent home other than maybe Tori/Jill

I said gauntlet 2 not gauntlet 3. Tbh though with the gauntlet 3 they might as well have thrown out the entire cast

My unpopular opinion for the gauntlet 3 is that the rookies should've never won, it was a BS call. Nonetheless, Frank Jillian Nehemiah and Tori were the only deserving winners on that team, and in that order. Rachel and Johanna were jokes of competitors and wastes of space 

Would have been more interesting if the twist was, the winning team voted someone in but the losing team had to send in their captain. The politics definitely would have been more interesting.

Though, unpopular opinion, I thought the Gauntlet 2 season was BORING!! And had the worst daily challenges in challenge history.

i agree, I wish the dailies had been different and less team oriented. Wish they would've incorporated a lifeshield each mission for a player on each team

Yeah I remember the spoiler team at the time saying it was hard time casting that challenge. Many were asked and dropped out last minute including Coral, Melissa, Frankie, the Philly cast members who weren't there, Angela, Abram, Tonya, Trishelle, and Steven (las Vegas). Not sure if all those names were true but they were on the rumored list at the time.

Some of those names would’ve been awesome! Sad that many only did one season or never debuted at all

Jo will forever be the most random and unexpected casting choice though

The Philly cast can stay home. We had to sacrifice all those people in order to have Jo's legendary freak out. 

Mine would be:

Final Reckoning > Dirty 30 > Vendettas. 

Battle of the Seasons 2 did suck.

War of the Worlds 1= the only season from the modern era I would place on a list with the older ones as a favorite, a the most refreshing winner ever, and has the greatest final ever.

War of the Worlds 2 is awful, miserable, and annoying just like the people after Laurel's exit. If I want a politics-driven season, I turn to the greatly underrated Fresh Meat 2. 

I honestly loved all the seasons from 31-34 

30 was rough but it had some good parts about it

Honestly I only remember like 3 of the dailies from gauntlet 2, but were they really that bad?

Following the Inferno 2 we're the dailies we're a good mix of physical, comedic, and mental they were really underwhelming. Like the mission where they had to build a bike.....ok. Then the paint mission was dull. Go back and watch. The dailies weren't that good except for a few. Lol I'll never forget, I think it was Molds at the time, saying they had to dig in th bottom of the barrel to get JO. Literally almost all the rookie girls they wanted said no or pulled out. Which is another reason most of the rookie girls team was made up of Xtreme girls.

The losing team sending in their captain with the other captain being safe would have led to everyone throwing missions. If it's a guys day and you're not the captain why try to win?  

The only thing about Dirty 30 I liked was the final. The rest of it, trash it.

the aesthetic of that season was excellent but everything else was trash -- the starting cast was good but the boot order was hideous 

Zahida is best uk addition along with Kayleigh.

her & that telenovela guy that injured himself on WOTW -- (wtf you can't say po*n lmao)

WOTW was good cause they chose the right veterans to anchor the mediocre set of newbies we got and it worked unlike SLA -- WOTW2 was okay and had a blazing start with jam packed beginning episodes but eventually fell flat midseason but then slightly picked up towards the end but I would say those seasons are probably the most stable of the newer seasons & hold their own in rewatch's

Yikes

More like worst. I don't dislike Zahida but neither of the two should ever come back

Theo was the best UK addition for delivering in the competition and drama.

And I'll follow up that with an unpopular opinion. Since Jordan likes to find ways to discredit people, my way would be to say, hey, you may not even have made it to the final to win War of the Worlds 2 had they not given you a hammering elimination (your specialty) against Theo and you were proposing.

In any other elimination, there's a big chance Theo would have sent him home since he was killing eliminations that season.

wotw2 is underated. Entertaining, good cast, and finally a team challenge. I mean its light years better than the shitty cast they currently have on now

More like worst. I don't dislike Zahida but neither of the two should ever come back

kayleigh is an amazing strategist and provides great drama zahida is refreshing and a fun addition also love seeing her grow as competitor on screen. We havent got to see much of her and shes never really got a fair chance at the challenge shes deserving of another chance

FM2 was so enjoyable in terms of political gaming as a the forefront of most of the drama.

Yes! Wes and Evelyn together were messy as hell. No shame. Good television.

Right! WOTW2 is literally a top tier season 

Rivals 3 is actually a good season.

Word and I loved the mystery/suspense element of the elimination rounds they had. Glad they brought it back with Invasions during the first haf of it.

And look what all of that digging delivered. One of the best moments in Challenge history that people are still talking about. Back then they made an effort to put together a cast. Now it's just the same core of people on speed dial that do the show every season and make it boring to watch. 

If I want a politics-driven season, I turn to the greatly underrated Fresh Meat 2.

Agreed--FM2 is highly underrated.  Jenn/Ryan also played the perfect game for them.  Kenny vs. Wes was entertaining.  Landon winning was awesome.  The only negative was Darrell going home first.

Rivals 3 is actually a good season.

One aspect of Rivals 3 I liked was that almost every single person on that season brought some type of drama. That's about it though

WOTW 2 reminds me of the Real World Season Skeletons. There was never a boring a episode but the cast was unlikeable. 

Rivals 3 is actually a good season.

Sigh

the overnight challenge with the mariachi band was fun to watch, but also I liked Wes and Nany's partnership lol.

Rivals 3 is actually a good season.

Ummm what?! Rivals 3 was literally hands down the worst season of the challenge ever. The cast was absolute trash. So many rookies that never added anything to the long term. Veterans like Johnny, Sarah, Wes, and KellyAnne just felt out of place. The drama was so bad that we actually got a 3-4 minute argument about 2 grown men getting physical because one called the other a ***** during a game of beer pong. Any long time fan of the show could have told you the winners in episode 1. Way too predictable. It felt like I was watching high school kids on a challenge with how pathetic the drama was. There were no big political game moves, 90% of the opposite gender "rivals" that I knew of prior were complete stretches. I have never watched are you the one or the real world since probably Austin. That season should have never happened.
