Really dying to find out Bananas' bloodline/cousin is, any ideas? I pray he isn't Johnny Bananas jr.

Smh at anyone who doubts PinkRose. 

Smh at anyone who doubts PinkRose. 

I think Bananas definitely makes sense. You can't have a cast full of rookies, it will lack gameplay, cast recognition, among other things that will affect the viewers and definitely entertainment. You need that balance, that "token" to makes things interesting, which is essential to an entertaining challenge. So you need some recognizable vets that bring something to the game. I don't think Bananas per se was necessary, but what I found necessary was what he bring to the table, that he does bring whether you like him or not. And that is competitiveness, drama and gameplay. For example that gameplay is probably really going to lack. So what he brings and the necessity of some vets is what makes sense, therefor since he qualifies for those factors, picking him makes sense to me. But of course if you don't like him, then that's a complete different story.

Now, having people with no personalities, and/or strategic gameplay, and/or competitiveness, and/or anything else that brings drama or entertainiment IS what doesn't make sense. And is what generally the current speculated male cast basically is.

The bloodlines could still be the salvation with the male cast, but they could've definitely made a better overral male cast, IMO.

This show lacks gameplay period. Vets or no Vets. And no I don't think any veterans are needed and the only reason you(and other people)probably think like that is because those vets have been shoved down our damn throats for so long that people think that there can't be a good seasons without them.

There are plenty of people on the male side whom are entertaining and will bring something to the show regardless. Cory/Tony/Thomas(he wasn't shown much on Exes 2 but he was out early and I still think he can bring something) are all entertaining and will bring some sort of drama. I don't know about Dario and Cohutta is not dramatic but he is likable and likeable people are sorley needed on this show IMO so he's not a waste. Backpack..well I agree that he is out of place and he really isn't needed on this season(And I'm not saying that because I dislike him) and before anyone says "well he brings viewers"...If that was true then this show wouldn't be in the position it's in now. He alone clearly isn't cutting it anymore so he needs to be cut out IMO.

I'm hearing KellyAnne is out, sorry guys Sad

That's a lie! I have valid proof from Challenge 13 one of the few trustworthy users on this site for the challenge cast that as of today she is still doing it and it's going to be in the plane this week flying to the filming location if nothing happens.

I'm hearing different. I could of course be wrong, but so far my sources seem to have been more accurate than yours for this season.

lmaoooo if you say so, let me put it this way you haven't contribute to any of the speculate "confirm" cast on the lock thread. 

http://vevmo.com/forums/challenge-summer-2015-cast-speculation

All of those names have come from Challenge 13 and myself, getting confirmation from reliable sources that those people are leaving the country this week if nothings happens.

Hmm. I've been saying Jenna is on the cast when your sources were insiting she was an alternate. I have said since day one Wes declined due to format, you have waffled back and forth on his status in that thread.

I'm happy to contribute. It's not a contest of who is better or who is not. But let's not pretend that because I haven't PM'd you and gone through whatever validation process is needed to be officially cited, you're not taking what I say into account as you double check your sources. Which was evidentally needed after the Jenna flip-flop as she has been a lock since day 1.

All of this ties into their mistake of pushing him as the savior of The Challenge for the past 4 years but we'll agree to disagree...in terms of in-house gameplay Wes>>>>Johnny & they should've been paying big money for him to come on this one but I understand why he wouldn't (unless he is the last male on the cast).

As for the bolded...all of the rookies are unproven but out of them, Cory IMO will definitely bring something, Thomas is definitely an improvement over Jay so to speak & Cohutta is always good for a big storyline. The rest...I get your point with them, Tony is easily the worst of the Skeletons men to pick IMO

Well, that one that told me that Jenna was most likely an alternate was challenge13 and a few days she/him confirm she actually was on the cast. I actually trust him or her.

As far as Wes goes, I have kept him on up in the air all this time until I see valid proof that he is going to be in the country during filming or that he is leaving this week.

It's not a contest , I am happy to work with anyone that is able to share proof about someone being on it or not. all I am going to say that I trust Challenge 13 source for Kellyanne that source would know for sure if she is leaving the country this week for 6 weeks or not. Like I say time will tell and we are days away to find out Wink

All of this. Personally I think some Vets are needed but not the same ones over & over...those 3 (even though I like Wes & back and forth with CT) are NOT the only 3 vets still willing to do the show and/or know how to play the game.

You know I feel like sometimes the cast some of the people that they do because they know they will climb up Backpack's *** and remain there most of their challenge careers or they just won't challenge him.

And as far as Tony..I think he'll bring something to the show but I do think that Bruno and/or Jason would've been a better choice than him.

Bruno/Briah didn't wanted to do it, I heard from a little birdie than Briah wanted a bigger apperance check lol

Jason by what I heard doesn't have no one on the age range.

briah swears just because he was on the red carpet with big ang he can forgo the standard first challenge check? Do all newbies get the same appereance fee?

If Briah doesn't get the ****...but he clearly thought he was a star before his 1-2 episodes even aired, trying to get booked for appearances & taking pictures with any & everybody.

To be clear: I said Tony was the worst purely from a competition standpoint but Bruno/Briah definitely would've gotten on my nerves.

Tony was the most dramatic male/star of Skeletons in my opinion. He's also in shape (without being built like someone like Zach which I prefer). Besides Bruno's anger issues' he wasn't really on the show and Jason was irrelevant. Also, Tony has a brother who visited the show. He was the perfect pick for this season. Bruno would have been great too but he declined.

Well to be fair, Briah knows he would not do well competition wise so in order to make more money then the prizes he'll never get, he asks for an appearance check. Still though, who tf does he think he is?

Well, that one that told me that Jenna was most likely an alternate was challenge13 and a few days she/him confirm she actually was on the cast. I actually trust him or her.

As far as Wes goes, I have kept him on up in the air all this time until I see valid proof that he is going to be in the country during filming or that he is leaving this week.

It's not a contest , I am happy to work with anyone that is able to share proof about someone being on it or not. all I am going to say that I trust Challenge 13 source for Kellyanne that source would know for sure if she is leaving the country this week for 6 weeks or not. Like I say time will tell and we are days away to find out Wink

That's all fair. But saying I'm a "liar" based on me having different information than challenge13 on kellyAnne, when apparently my source was correct and his was wrong on the Jenna thing, was insulting and necessitated me calling you out on it.

Well to be fair, Briah knows he would not do well competition wise so in order to make more money then the prizes he'll never get, he asks for an appearance check. Still though, who tf does he think he is?

The Bentecourt Brothers are delusional lol

WTF?? really? And what makes him think that he was gonna get more than what they were willing to give him?

oh and I know declinded but I  was just saying that they would've been better choices had they been willing to do it. Probably would've bumped Tony/Shane for them if they just wanted one male from Skeletons(or maybe not considering they had problems with each other during their season).

And I was wondering why they didn't consider Jason but know I know. Thanks for that little nugget of knowledge.

Well, then I apologized about calling you a liar it just doesn't agree with what I heard from challenge13 that has proven to be right 98% of the times since Free Agents.

Btw his source is someone that would know if Kellyanne is leaving or not this week, in other words thanks to his source I also got the more confirmation that they are actually leaving this week. If something happens from here to departure who knows if she is going to be on it, but as of erlier today she is still doing it.

By what I heard they wanted the 4 brothers lol Bruno/Tony still have tension that was never resolved because they didn't have a reunion, so having them on the same show was a must. Plus, Briah/Shane hooked up on skeletons and supposedley Briah doesn't talk or even like anymore the Raines brothers.

This show lacks gameplay period. Vets or no Vets. And no I don't think any veterans are needed and the only reason you(and other people)probably think like that is because those vets have been shoved down our damn throats for so long that people think that there can't be a good seasons without them.

There are plenty of people on the male side whom are entertaining and will bring something to the show regardless. Cory/Tony/Thomas(he wasn't shown much on Exes 2 but he was out early and I still think he can bring something) are all entertaining and will bring some sort of drama. I don't know about Dario and Cohutta is not dramatic but he is likable and likeable people are sorley needed on this show IMO so he's not a waste. Backpack..well I agree that he is out of place and he really isn't needed on this season(And I'm not saying that because I dislike him) and before anyone says "well he brings viewers"...If that was true then this show wouldn't be in the position it's in now. He alone clearly isn't cutting it anymore so he needs to be cut out IMO.

All of this. Personally I think some Vets are needed but not the same ones over & over...those 3 (even though I like Wes & back and forth with CT) are NOT the only 3 vets still willing to do the show and/or know how to play the game.

I'm not as opposed to vets as I also come off as but I just want the ones that haven't been on for awhile and haven't been overused and/or have nothing left to give/will just follow Backpack..Ruthie is a perfect example.

WTF?? really? And what makes him think that he was gonna get more than what they were willing to give him?

oh and I know declinded but I  was just saying that they would've been better choices had they been willing to do it. Probably would've bumped Tony/Shane for them if they just wanted one male from Skeletons(or maybe not considering they had problems with each other during their season).

And I was wondering why they didn't consider Jason but know I know. Thanks for that little nugget of knowledge.

By what I heard they wanted the 4 brothers lol Bruno/Tony still have tension that was never resolved because they didn't have a reunion, so having them on the same show was a must. Plus, Briah/Shane hooked up on skeletons and supposedley Briah doesn't talk or even like anymore the Raines brothers

Oh yeah you're right so they definetly would've kept The Raines on had The Buttencourts been willing to do it. That has drama written all over it.

They prob would have dropped Cohutta or Dario if Bruno had said yes.

lmaoooo if you say so, let me put it this way you haven't contribute to any of the speculate "confirm" cast on the lock thread. You didn't even know departure day until I found it.

All of those names have come from Challenge 13 and myself, getting confirmation from reliable sources that those people are most likely leaving the country this week if nothings happens.

This thread is about to be locked until departure day and when I post the cast & elimination spoiler thread. Would do yall some good to walk around and get some fresh air. And I think the suspense of waiting to find out who the final 3 castmembers are will benefit you as well. No chill though...

Or just give him the last male spot.

I think Bananas definitely makes sense. You can't have a cast full of rookies, it will lack gameplay, cast recognition, among other things that will affect the viewers and definitely entertainment. You need that balance, that "token" to makes things interesting, which is essential to an entertaining challenge. So you need some recognizable vets that bring something to the game. I don't think Bananas per se was necessary, but what I found necessary was what he bring to the table, that he does bring whether you like him or not. And that is competitiveness, drama and gameplay. For example that gameplay is probably really going to lack. So what he brings and the necessity of some vets is what makes sense, therefor since he qualifies for those factors, picking him makes sense to me. But of course if you don't like him, then that's a complete different story.

Now, having people with no personalities, and/or strategic gameplay, and/or competitiveness, and/or anything else that brings drama or entertainiment IS what doesn't make sense. And is what generally the current speculated male cast basically is.

The bloodlines could still be the salvation with the male cast, but they could've definitely made a better overral male cast, IMO.

All of this ties into their mistake of pushing him as the savior of The Challenge for the past 4 years but we'll agree to disagree...in terms of in-house gameplay Wes>>>>Johnny & they should've been paying big money for him to come on this one but I understand why he wouldn't (unless he is the last male on the cast).

As for the bolded...all of the rookies are unproven but out of them, Cory IMO will definitely bring something, Thomas is definitely an improvement over Jay so to speak & Cohutta is always good for a big storyline. The rest...I get your point with them, Tony is easily the worst of the Skeletons men to pick IMO

 

You know I feel like sometimes the cast some of the people that they do because they know they will climb up Backpack's *** and remain there most of their challenge careers or they just won't challenge him.

And as far as Tony..I think he'll bring something to the show but I do think that Bruno and/or Jason would've been a better choice than him.

I don't think that's true. Briah is pretty friendly with Tony atleast.
