Ummm....people can drink together and not be friends...I do that once a month with some co-workers.  We act like friends, do shots, etc but we're not really friends.  Will Johnny and Cara work together--if it helps both their games.  This is a business trip

Ok? I never said anything about them being friends though?

It was just evidence and me agreeing to JEKfan's comment about the producers blowing their releationship out of proportion. They were clearly fine and comfortable with each other in that scene so I doubt they hated each other like production portrayed is the point I'm trying to make.

Why do people still want to see cara Maria's stale used up *** still? She's 8 challenges deep and about as interesting and revolutionary as she was on challenge 3. In other words she isn't and never will be . She needs to retire already 

You smell like a CT/Bananas/Leroy supporter.

you must be smelling ******** because youre dead wrong. ive been just as critical of bananas/leroy and especially CT as anyone else has been

its just weird that people are still enamored by cara maria. believe me i used to like her too but 8 challenges clustered together so closely and not following through with a praiseworthy performance until last season despite having the best partners in history is just pathetic

We'll use your words to dumb it down for you.  You don't have to be "clearly fine and comfortable with" someone to drink with them.  Two people that "hate each other" can definitely drink together.  I do it all the time.  It is called being an adult.

LOL calm down. Why are you so negative all the time? Being an old man and picking an argument with a young female is not a cute look. I see that you still didn't learn how to accept different opinions yet even after my 1 year hiatus from here. Sad.

Quick question why people keep assuming Tony is going to be a bad competitor? He is in shape and is the tallest guy after Leroy that have been confirm so far, Height doesnt mean much. But I would preffered going against someone like cohutta that is 5 5 and skinnier than someone like Tony that is 6 2 seems more build than Cohutta.

Agreed. I think and hope that Tony will be a great competitor.

The first time we agree about something lol

Lmao so true! I really hope he proves everyone on here wrong.

I don't see how 3 second place finshes in seasons where literally only 6-8 people make the final is considered bad but okay, ya'll stay mad when Queen Cara collects the crown.

it really is when you consider that she has had the following partners: darrell, laurel, abram, cooke. she didnt win with any of them and she didnt make the final with the two males which were elites. if rachel or ev were partnered with darrell or abram they would either made the finals or done some serious damage in the game during their existence.

cutthroat was a fluke. she was easily the worst girl after emily, theresa, jenn, camila, tori, laurel, sarah and maybe even paula. she wouldnt ahve been there if she wasnt ****** the CEO of the team. she had an amazing performance on agents and that cant be denied but she wasnt great before that...not even good IMO and what she did on agents doesnt erase that

Clock them CM haters sis!

Jenna will probably get cut loose before the final because bananas wouldn't take someone like her to the final. Everyone thinks Cara will lead this revolution against bananas but tbh I can see them working together because she's not stupid enough to get rid of the best guy on her team

Cara and Bananas don't even hate each other anymore. He said they were fine after Rivals 2 and the producers just kept blowing it out of proportion on FA so I could see them working together. They are smart enough to know that they are both good competitors. However I still hope Cara gets eliminated.

Exactly. They were even drinking together.

Can't believe I already lost my fav male I was looking forward to?

If Cara goes next then this season can go tbh. #TeamCara

This is exactly how I feel. I just hope the first girl that is eliminated is someone I could care less about like Christina or Jenna. 

Sigh I was really looking forward to the Cohutta/KellyAnne and Cohutta/Nany interactions.

"A cute look"...I'm too old to care what your opinion is.  When you grow up you'll understand how two people that aren't close can drink together.  Different opinions are great when both are valid.  You're also apparently obsessed with Christina which is what is truly sad.

It's not just her fault. Darrell coudlv'e carried her like Wes did to Casey so to soley blame her for the loss is stupid, they both lost because they could not work together unlike Jill/Pete and Landon/Carley.

Cara was easily the best girl on the grey team for the final. Laurel could not handle it mentally and Sarah physically.

Laurel would have never been able to beat Evelyn and Paula in a final, even with another partner.

Abram lost his heat against Ty.

Cara and Cooke were the first to complete the puzzle but when it came to the leg race Cooke would have never be able to beat Emily/Paula with or without Cara. That prize was set in stone for the hulk and long distance runner. 

The point is Cara Maria makes finals on seasons where (6/15,6/14,6/16 females make it to the end). One of the hardest eras to make it to the final. Plus she's had to compete against some of the greatest in a final (Evelyn, Emily). Her not winning isn't because she is bad, it is because her competition are girls that no one could beat in a final.

tbh I don't even get why what she did on agents was so great. she won a lot of eliminations, but if she'd won missions, she wouldn't have been in the draw in the first place...

I agree with all of this. It is really hard for people to win in the new era. If Cara Maria was a competitor in the golden era, she would've won by a challenge now. I really think this could be her season to win. She's in awesome shape and has improved a lot since her first challenge. 

Cara as well as Jonna, Theresa, Nany, and Nia would be absolutely untouchable back in the golden era. 

This is exactly how I feel. I just hope the first girl that is eliminated is someone I could care less about like Christina or Jenna. 

Sigh I was really looking forward to the Cohutta/KellyAnne and Cohutta/Nany interactions. 

We are the same.

That's not sad at all, it's actually common but you wouldn't know since you're old. What's truly sad is your negativity on this forum though.

Anyways, I'm out. GL with this thread. I hope kvm finds happiness in his life so that he doesn't have to take it out on other people with different opinions on here.

BYE!

Cara as well as Jonna, Theresa, Nany, and Nia would be absolutely untouchable back in the golden era. 

Honestly, I think most of the cast members competing now in general would be excellent in the golden era.

I'mma need both missmeggerz and kvm on SurVevmo 3.

Cara and Johnny will work together both were super close with firm so I am sure they are playing in her honor. I wonder if bananas was allowed to bring down shirts because if yes I am sure the whole cast will be wearing them throughout the season

Lmao so true! I really hope he proves everyone on here wrong.

I agree! I wasn't his biggest fan during real world, but the way people are rooting against him on here makes me root for him.

I actually really liked him. He was my favorite male out of Skeletons and even Explosion. He had drama, hook ups, fights, etc. which is what everyone wants.

Did you watch that season? Every mission was pairs or teams. Her preformance alone didn't decide whether she was in the draw or not....

She did great the first mission. She was put in a choke hold by Banana's running up the stairs. Her team lost there were 14 other losers...

Auto Body Rally her and Johnny did solid. Only 2 people won the rest were losers...

She did solid on bar crawl but went first and most of the other teams did better. There were only 4 winners....

Bounce out was a big team mission. Her team sucked. She had Latoya, Jasmine, Devyn, Issac, Brandon and Cohutta. (Camila and Aneesa aren't even that great compared to Laurel and Theresa in that mission)

Piggy back she was the only girl to make it across for her team. They won

Smarty pants is only trivia but she was one of the last few girls remaining.

Sausage party was neck and neck with Laurel the whole time. Came in second by like 0.12121 of a second

Hold that pose did great. They won.

Dug out she did great. She was finished and waiting for Jessica to get the balls. 2 winers and the rest were losers.

Cross over, had a broken hand and still did pretty great.

 

I don't see how her being in a lot of eliminations is her fault. It's not like she soley came in last. There were a lot of people that came in last and who went in was decided by a flip of a card...

"Cara was easily the best girl on the grey team for the final. Laurel could not handle it mentally and Sarah physically."

Laurel & Luke had to carry Cara...Laurel was infinitely better in that final.  It is like Tori did well because she was carried

I'mma need both missmeggerz and kvm on SurVevmo 3.

I'd get DQ'd

"Cara was easily the best girl on the grey team for the final. Laurel could not handle it mentally and Sarah physically."

If I remember correctly (haven't seen Cutthroat in a while) Laurel stopped walking and broke down in tears while Cara and Luke looked fine as they kept walking. I don't remember them carrying Cara at all but that just might be my terrible mmeory lol (I feel like an Alzheimer's person).

Yeah, you're forgetting a large portion of the final.  They literally carried her on a stretcher...remember Jenn & Emily trying to carry the dummy.  Laurel was exhausted because she had to carry Cara's weight while Cara was literally carried around.  This is why the Red team dominated...they had 3 guys to trade off on Tori weight.  Laurel was by far the most impressive girl and I hate Laurel

Here is the way it is worded on WIKI " At the "Free Ride" checkpoint, one player from each team has to lie on a stretcher while their teammate carries them to the next check point. (Note: Since the Blue Team only had two members — Emily & Jenn, they instead carried a mannequin on the stretcher.)"

 

Cara did do alright in the Cutthroat final....Laurel broke down crying after a while & Sarah/Abe basically died so her & Luke pretty much held it down. Other than that though, I don't care lol I'm very indifferent to CM & don't care enough about her to ever debate anything concerning her.

EDIT: After seeing what KVM said I do remember that happening.

Since Johnny Reilly isn't on this season, can Banana's finally go back to having his name on his shirt and helmet.

One partner HAD to lay on the stretcher, that was part of the rules. There was NO way Laurel could lay on the stretcher and it wouldn't make sense for the two girls to carry Luke. It's not like Cara Maria was tired and they needed to carry her because she couldn't do it anymore.

Since Johnny Reilly isn't on this season, can Banana's finally go back to having his name on his shirt and helmet. 

I was wondering the same thing but I think he's pretty much trademarked as Banana's now. Everyone calls him that, I can't see them going back to putting Johnny on his gear.

if only but sAdly I think it will always be bananas now

Hey, as long as you put on a show!

I don't see how 3 second place finshes in seasons where literally only 6-8 people make the final is considered bad but okay, ya'll stay mad when Queen Cara collects the crown.

Plus she's had to compete against some of the greatest in a final (Evelyn, Emily). Her not winning isn't because she is bad, it is because her competition are girls that no one could beat in a final.

darrell was having to babysit and motivate cara the entire timend at one point he even took her bag. cara was just as useless as darrell at the puzzles but at least darrell could keep a pace. no male should have to carry a femae the way wes did casey. if cara really needed  the casey treatment from darrell then dont blame darrell for not doing it, blame cara for being such a pathetic weakling or god for making her that way. BTW, sandy almost beat jill in that same exile and she never had her backpack caried once.

on the cutthroat final she basically carried her own body weight in the final and thats all. from a practical standpoint its not worth keeping someone around in the final and splitting 30K with them if all they do is exist and sustain themselves. they need to be able to do more than that to earn that 30K...carry their weight or set the an encouraging pace or come through in a puzzle that nobody else can get. she actually trailed laurel even after laurel carried her on the strecher. honestly i can see why laurel was pissed after cutthroat. if cara wasnt there laurel would have made 2x as much money since she didnt win with cara and luke anyways. cara also put in almost no work in the eliminations and ranged from OK to an absolute abomintion in the challenges unlike sarah who did good in the challenges.

i was just trying to address the point  of "muhhh 3 finalzzz!!11" argument that people always make about cara and how its really nothing special if youre with laurel.

they went into elmination round because cara sucks so bad at missions. who put them in the elimination round in the first place? abram at least got one round and wasnt utterly demolished unlike cara.

like the first rivals, it oesnt matter whether or not cooke or laurel would beat paula/ev/emily in the final. it still doesnt negate the fact that cara was the weak link here and held her partners back from their full potential which may or may not have been enough to overtake the #1 team. if laurel/cooke had a small 20% chance of beating the #1 team then its been completely abolished with the addition of cara on their teams.

people give cara way too much credit for her finals. with her partners all she has to do is not severely mess up to get there. with cooke and laurel and cutthroat she never brought anything to the table to make her teams chances higher in getting a win. just carry her own dead weight(and sometimes less) and waste oxygen

One partner HAD to lay on the stretcher, that was part of the rules. There was NO way Laurel could lay on the stretcher and it wouldn't make sense for the two girls to carry Luke. It's not like Cara Maria was tired and they needed to carry her because she couldn't do it anymore.

And that's why Laurel was tired...because she had to carry Cara...this isn't a difficult concept.  I didn't say Cara gassed out or anything.  Laurel couldn't lay on the stretcher because she was the strongest person.  Cara was carried because she was the weakest...very simple
