The Duel II: New Zealand

[QUOTE=bratty;33889]Okay my opinion, like it matters, but you are going to get it anyway. If CT can keep his cool he will dominate. And of course we all know he's my favorite especially since Tori took Brad. And you all keep forgetting about Evan, I know he is not well liked, but he's a strong competitor and when you have a Evan, CT, and a Brad you can't stop them and if they were to join forces with say a Dunbar, Landon or an Isaac it could get very interesting.[/QUOTE] The faulty logic you employ is that anyone wants anything at all to do with CT. The constant chatter among the identified cast is to plot against CT, not because he is a good competitor, but because he is toxic. To a lesser degree, similar words are being exchanged about Evan. The best complete competitors in my opinion are Brad, Derek, Landon and Mark. (alphabetical order).

Man, with Derek added, alongside Mark, Landon, CT, and ugh...Evan. The guys list is definately stacked. Still hoping for some interesting faces to be added on the girls side.

But I'll always be partial to CT.

Oooooh I am most excited to see [U]Nick Brown, Kim A., and Isaac[/U] on this challenge! And yeah for Brad and Tori having a last hurrah before getting tied down with wedding plans.

I want to see Landon and CT form an alliance of sorts, they would be unstoppable IMHO!

Assuming that the format of The Duel II allows for only one male and one female winner (e.g.; Wes and Jodi last time), then Landon aligning himself with CT is very shortsighted. It would almost certainly mean that the two would go against each other at some point near the end. Better to be opposed to him early and increase the number of opportunities for him to be eliminated by someone else.

Ahhhh! V1man, do you know why Robin and Dan are here instead of rehab? And why there is a curious amount of past and current couples: Brad/Tori, Robin/Dan, Mark/Robin, CT/Diem, Aneesa/Rachel, Rachel/Jenn, Paula/Derek? Please please tell me we will get scoopage on the tensions and stories behind some of these infamous pairings.

[quote=Matty;33928] And why there is a curious amount of past and current couples: Brad/Tori, Robin/Dan, Mark/Robin, CT/Diem, Aneesa/Rachel, Rachel/Jenn, Paula/Derek? [/quote] I'm thinking it's because by now the whole RW/RR pool is pretty ********* ;)

[quote=darksamurai88;33933]Soon I think we will see RW/RR Challenge: Battle of the Offspring[/quote] Right! *shudder*

[quote=darksamurai88;33933]Soon I think we will see RW/RR Challenge: Battle of the Offspring[/quote] What a sad confusing day that will be.

Wait...when was aneesa with rachel?

I hate to say this... but I really hope Evan goes home ASAP. I'd love to see Brad do well... although, I don't know how I feel about Tori. I'm stoked to see Mark, Aneesa, Katie, CT (sorry), and Nick. As far as everyone else goes, I'm pretty indifferent. It seems like a good cast though. It will be interesting to see which changes to roster take place before filming.

Dartagan I missed you! :)

[quote=Insider;33983]I hate to say this... but I really hope Evan goes home ASAP. [/quote] Oh, seriously....PLEASE!! This would make me so happy.

[QUOTE=OtherPplsDrama;33989]Oh, seriously....PLEASE!! This would make me so happy.[/QUOTE] I would love to see Evan go home first because the guy's roster is full of favs (except for Dunbar and David) and it would suck for someone cool like Mark, Nick, CT, Brad to go home before (fresh)meat head Evan.

If Evan goes home first, we can have a big Vevmo celebration. :)

[QUOTE=Insider;33995]If Evan goes home first, we can have a big Vevmo celebration. :)[/QUOTE] How about goes how first or within the first 3 episodes. :D

[quote=Blaqk;33996]How about goes how first or within the first 3 episodes. :D[/quote] Or, [I]OR....[/I]he gets voted off the [I]planet[/I] before the challenge even starts!!! Too much? LoL

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;33998]Or, [I]OR....[/I]he gets voted off the [I]planet[/I] before the challenge even starts!!! Too much? LoL[/quote] Lol, you didn't over do it. That's perfect. :evil:

As a newbie I'm going to assume that Evan is not liked around here? :nea:

[quote=usanike;34014]As a newbie I'm going to assume that Evan is not liked around here? :nea:[/quote] I don't know where you could have ever gotten that idea.

All they need for the girls is Jodi, Kina, Ev, and Emily ..... and Wes and Alton for the boys, and this would be the most competitive challenge ever ........ I am curious to see how CT does with this much competition that is if everyone is in the same shape or close to it as we last remember. Aneesa vs racist Kim and Robin ..... the posibilities are endless

[QUOTE=Darock1713;34023] Aneesa vs racist Kim and Robin ..... [/QUOTE] That is ugly and unsupported language. I'll certainly take offense to it on Kim's behalf since she is a member.

[quote] That is ugly and unsupported language. I'll certainly take offense to it on Kim's behalf since she is a member. [/quote] I must say, I got into many heated debates on another board about Kim being labeled a racist. She made some ignorant remarks during RW: Hollywood, but to call her a racist was way much. I think that term is used too loosely these days, and it's a dangerous word that can truly damage someone's reputation. I'm glad to see her return because she was, I believe, unfairly labeled and damaged after RW. I'd love to see Sarah on a Challenge as well. I think I was one of the very few who loved her! Not to say I didn't also like Bri and her ridiculous hot pants, but Sarah and Kim were more my type of girls whose flaws I could handle better in real life than those of Bri. I'm also hoping that, despite my distaste for CT's behavior in past appearances, the show and castmembers are sensitive to what just happened in his life. And I hope he leaves sooner than later because I don't see that environment doing him any favors right now. It sounds as if the Duel format is staying the same. Any ideas as to whether they may change the format or Duels in some way? For example, that "I Can" (is that what it was called?) can be eliminated, please. BORING.

Ugh, ERIC?! He's a nice guy and all but he seriously needs to throw in the towel and give someone else a shot.
