I really hope it's not pairs.

I hope cohutta makes it to the final. His size is always a disadvantage pin eliminations, so I hope he doesn't go In a lot. But he always performs in the challenges, I think he would do really well in a final

Cohutta's highly overrated IMO--he's just likable.  I have no idea how he'd do in a final but he a weaker version of Johnny Reilly IMO

I don't really think people like Cara Maria, Camilla, Nany, Kelly Anne, Leroy, Cohutta etc. need Bananas for the final or any daily challenge. They showed to be good enough to finish challenges, elimination rounds or the final without him, especially IF they would go against the current "spoiled" bloodlines. 

Plus, I don't think Cohutta, KellyAnne, Camilla are that tight with Bananas. Cohutta is basically the one that sits the best with the alumnis/rookies on that team. Who would target him?

This is totally a different game than Abram on Cutthroat. None of the grey team (with few exceptions) was proven to be capable of finishing the final (with Laurel and Sarah having more of a bad experience) or being really good in challenges. Abram was their leader as the rest of the team was more unproven (with exceptions) and they looked bad on paper against Red and Blue without Abram. Bananas won't be like the leader and where the other teams are heavily favorited if he is not with them.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a pair challenge again similar to Fresh Meat. This might be a twist that the cast and the viewer needs and would not see it coming. I believe the drama would be far bigger than just proven Alumnis (minus like a few rookies) vs. unproven, unknown Bloodlines.

I hope the curse continues and the one with the most wins gets send home first. LOL.

The truth. If people would stop overrating him, I'd actually like him more.

Me too. We need another 2 team challenge 

PR when do you expect to know about the first elimination?

I want a cuthroat 

Will there be a separate cast elimination thread to the spoiler cast thread? I hope so as I want to know the bloodlines but don't want to get spoiled on who is eliminated

It is best to stop reading any spoilers immediately if you don't want that to be spoiled

Ugh, it better not be a pairs challenge. I really hope is a Team challenge. I rather see the dinamic of vets vs bloodlines and see those separate teams interact with each other, rather than see random pairs interact, IMO.

But whatever it is I'm still goint o watch. But still. With this theme: Teams > Pairs.

yes, I will stop but I'd still like to the find out who the remaning bloodlines are that's why I was asking if the cast spoiler thread will stay as a cast spoiler and there will be a separate cast elimination thread

Only read the first post of the cast spoilers thread, it will continue to be updated. Scroll any further down and you'll be spoiled. Smile

I know what you're asking but it won't happen.  People forget what thread they're in and they'll talk.  Spoiler thread is a spoiler thread.  You could send someone a private message for an update or just look at the thread PinkRose has set up that's locked but don't scroll down

im hoping for teams to be a mix of alumni and bloodlines.  leroy can take out bananas, and maybe cory.  i want leroy, nany, camila, nicole and larissa to win.  

You're so basic

If it is pairs, I can see Bananas losing. Leroy proved that he is stronger than him. If it is similar to that or like climbing etc, Bananas is done. 

 

Could it be like Alumni guys and bloodlines girls vs alumni girls with bloodlines guys team challenge? 

 

Rankings of who I want to win for the alumni

Women

1. Cara Maria (her new picture on the spoiler thread is bad *** and sexy and she deserves to finally win)

2. KellyAnne (excited for her return, she has a great chance. Her winning with Cohutta would be everything to me.)

3. Aneesa (it's been over a decade since her first challenge, please FINALLY win and go out with a bang. She's like the Leonardo DiCaprio of The Challenge.)

4. Nany (I think she will be the new Jenn and go far due to politics, no way she is leaving early. Wouldn't mind seeing her win)

5. Camila (she has already won so I don't care to see her get another victory)

6. Jenna (bye)

7. Christina (I don't even watch AYTO so I could care less)

Men

1. Cohutta (this guy would kill it in a final, one of the most likable cast members ever)

2. Cory (I want to see him dominate and be a rare rookie in the new era to win his first challenge)

3. Tony (Hope he surprises some people)

4. Thomas (He's an underdog and I want to see him do well with Cory)

5. Leroy (He's a follower so I don't care him to see him win) 

6. Bananas (He's won 5 times and that's honestly enough, I don't want to see his head get bigger)

7. Dario (Don't care)

We have the same exact list and reasonings! I may like Tony better than Cory though but we will see.

ew it better not be a pairs challenge.

You guys are truly hopless and never satisfied.

ew it better not be a pairs challenge.

ew it better not be a pairs challenge.

Yes! It better be a pair challenge with partner who is NOT your bloodline.
Alumnis vs. Bloodline won't work as the viewer will not care for the bloodline and the possibility for a sweep is wayyy too high and MTV/BMP can't effort that to happen since they were/are so set on this this theme, the don't want their chosen ones to fail miserably.
Mix teams will give you the result we all expect it to be. The alumnis will get rid of the bloodlines first one by one and then it will be the usual picking order (AYTO > rookies > weakest links) which is the logical choice for anyone and people will still be mad that the challenge get sooo predictable.
A pair challenge might be good for opening up the playing field and it will easily destroy most of the pre-show alliances and nobidy on the cast expected that to happen.

I hope they dont do a pair challene two reasons why . 1. It doesnt really help the almuni because what  if they get a weak bloodline. That means that thell probably be going home earlier than deserved . 2. We just had a pair challenge its like there rusing the same format just different pairs and Names .

it pains me to think that Dario and Christina are considered Alumni.

I hope cohutta makes it to the final. His size is always a disadvantage pin eliminations, so I hope he doesn't go In a lot. But he always performs in the challenges, I think he would do really well in a final

The truth. If people would stop overrating him, I'd actually like him more.

He's one of the most likeable cast members and is also a decent competitor. He isn't a tool or a ****** bag like most of the cast. I prefer the people like that. I would like to see him do well and get to a final and even hopefully win. Rather than it being the same thing as usual. The tall, strong, built/bulky guys for the most part knocking the rest of -Bananas, Leroy, Zach, etc. It's not fun to watch when it just becomes a body size or muscle contest.

This comparison is on point.  Nany reminds me of Jenn a lot- a decent competitor but does well more because of her relationships than her athletic ability.  I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.

Who the **** is deleting posts?

StuffAndThings had one deleted. Kloun. And now mine...

When I see folks have Cohutta #1 in anything other than being most liked, I laugh.....

A pairs challenge complicates the theme even more than teams. Like Christina is with Thomas's Bloodline, but Thomas's Bloodline is with Aneesa. Aneesa's with Bananas, Bananas's with Jenna. So on and so forth.

This creates a very tangled web that simple-minded casual viewers will not be able to follow. We understand it, but they don't know how these people are connected before the season starts, so dividing them up in pairs dilutes the premise even more, stretching the theme even further beyond repair. At least teams makes the division easier to comprehend.

That does complicate things, but they could do it by having them "trade" bloodlines. I.E. Christina is with Cory's cousin, Cory is with Christina's sister. That basically forms the alliances before the show even begins. Obviously the two teams would be working with each other but at the same time, all the other teams will want them to face each other.

I don't know, doesn't sound great but I can see a lot of issues arising amongst the cast this way. Personally, I don't want them to do pairs.
