NELSON-REVISITED!I gotta admit. When this guy debuted on Rivals 3 I thought he was just useless as he was a ******* ghost on that season. But Then came Invasion and man did this guy make a ******* NAME for himself. He was an endearing, sometimes Corny challenge fan thrusted into the game and was willing to follow all the rules and play this game as well as he can..He was dubbed Captain challenge during the season for god sakes! But make no mistake he may be a fan but he didn't just act starstruck and blow his load like alot of Survivor fans tend to do when they get on the show. Early on he was made the forefront of an alliance, Duked it out with Tony, Hooked up with Latoya, Competed decently in Missions, Won 3 eliminations, Including a Good showing in the bloodbath of that season...Then made it to the final challenge where he had a Good showing(For the most part) He sadly came in second But overall he really solidified himself as a challenge player and one to look out for in the future. THen on Dirty 30 he continued his patterning of competing and getting into a little drama along the way. Sadly he had to leave the game due to an altercation he had which was sad but he will be back.I like Nelson mainly because as I said before..He just came off very differently in the way he expressed his fandom of the challenge. And he also sometimes talks very passionatley and strongly, And you can tell that he truly wants to win one of these things and despite his shortcomings as a competitior and just in the game in general I do believe he will win one someday. But I will say that he needs to chill with the booze though because he seems to act out a bit when he's drunk. Overall I just find the guy endaring and fun and we really don't get that alot on these shows. Gotta say I scoffed when he was cast on Invasion but looking back I'm glad he was cast again becasue he turned out to be a good character. He's one of the outsiders that showed that people who aren't from RW/RR can actually be good additions to the show. Not to mention he's in cahoots with my other faves..Cory and Hunter. The Young Bucks!So Yeah. Nelson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

HUNTER-REVISITED!

I gotta admit...I didn't like this guy when he first came on Invasion. But as the season went on I grew to like him and he showed that he had merit. His Merit only grew on Dirty 30 where he had the hardest road out of anyone on that season. Was in a minority alliance, had all of his alliane get eliminated/DQ'ed, Got eliminated himself then sent to redemption, came back into the game then got injured but decided to tough it out and continue in the game. And he did it all without *****ing and moaning about it!(Take Notes Cara Maria) I truly hope he makes it to the end of Dirty 30 because he at the very least deserves that much IMO. He's shown to be a good not great competitor. He's very reminicent of a young Derrick(X-TREME) in that regard to me. He's also a cutie. Also I love him for not being afraid to snap back and Backpack.

Hunter does have his drawbacks. He has bit of a temper and he can be cocky at times but I personally don't mind it. Tons of people on this show are cocky(Granted alot of them have earned the right to be but still) And he seems to have this mentality where he wants the strongest people at the end..A mentality that I never understood. If I was in the game and on my way to the final I'd want the easiest time possible but that'll be ironed out with time I think.

But overall Hunter is another great addition to the show and much like Nelson he shows that people outside of RW/RR can deliver the goods when it comes to this show.

BACKPACK'S GLORIOUS LOSING STREAK.

I hate Backpack. I've hated him for the longest time and still do. This comes to no surprise to anyone on this site. So it really makes me smile to see this ******* lose 3 times and a row. He got put on his *** on Invasion, Champs vs Pros(I'm counting this and IDGAF what anyone says), and Dirty 30. This is one of the best things going on in the challenge world right now. Aside from production now seeming to have found their new group of regulars and the Spinoffs. After Dirty 30 comes another Challenge Spinoff called Champs vs Stars. I Sincerly hope he loses that one too so his amazing streak continues.

What makes it even better is him losing to 3 of my favorite 10 guys: Darrell, Wes, Derrick. 

MARIE

This girl probably has one of the most annoying *** fanbases on this site but you know what? It's not without merit. Marie is a hell of a character. Strong-Willed, Honest, and willing to play the game, When she first entered the challenge fray Via Battle of the Seasons 2 she was one of the top characters that season. She was strategic, competed decently, and lead her team a good ways into the game(and that's a feat considering that her team was the only one without a real alliance) not to metion she got into some HUGE drama that season. Most notably her pushing Derek down during the big *** house fight Causing Sam to hit her head. Then her drunken fight with Frank towards the end of her run on that season. She solidified herself as one to watch going forward in the series. 

Several seasons p*** and it seemed like we won't see her again but lo and behold she showed up on Invasion...Only to be eliminated first. She came back again on Dirty 30 and had a MUCH better showing. She played the game and did about as much ***he could but then she got sent into redemption and just lost the challenge to get back into the game. Now she'll be on Vendetta and I'm expecting her to really show out. We need that Seasons 2 Marie again.

Overall Marie is a great character and really. I feel like she should have more of a legacy on these shows than she does. But I think if she keeps doing these shows she will. 

So yeah. Marie is awesome.

Before the biggest stans of her on this site come into this thread to scream QUEEN, I'll do it first.

QQQQQQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

JOSS

Apart of the U.K Invasion that showed up on Vendettas. Joss was one of the more chill and quiet castmembers on this season and you know what? That's fine with me. Because while he isn't wildly entertaining he's a good competitor, Getting 1st on the 1st challenge on Vendettas and then later on the season had one put up one HELL of a fight with Derrick in The Ring. Derrick would end up beating him but you know what? He won in my eyes. Because he solidified himself as one to watch out for in the future and challenge fans across the board gained a newfound respect for him. Not to mention the boy is BEAUTIFUL. Probably one of the hottest men to ever come on The Challenge. I sincerly hope that MTV brings him back to the show. It'd be a shame to waste that kind of talent. 

Since the Season is Over now.

THE FINAL RECKONING

This was a good season. Not great but good. The Missions were good. The Eliminations were varied I feel like, there was solid gameplay, Backpack got his Karma. Several Rookies came and shined. It was just a great season all in all. The only thing I didn't like was that it dragged out SO ******* MUCH. I mean this season started in July...it's November now. So almost 5 months this season has been on. That's Big Brother Lenth. And then the beginning of the season was slow as all hell But the middle and end made up for it. 

So this was a good season. Not top 10 but good season nonetheless.

KAM.

This girl is just...everything. She's pretty, Smart, Good Competitior, entertaining as hell. I mean she's everything you could ask for in a challenge character. At first I didn't care for Kam because of that go fund me BS but when I saw her in action on Vendettas she won me over. She competed well, was real as ****, and entertained with her confidence and being unafraid of the tired *** vets(Mainly Cara Maria). Then Came Final Reckoning where she proved she had the mind of a strategist by concoting a plan to pretty much nulify burn voting going on. It worked so well and I loved it. It's been awhile since we've seen a black woman be as good as she is on this show. 

So yeah..She's a great characte I hope she sticks around for years to come on this show.

Am I the only one who find the missions extremely boring this season ? I miss the old school fun missions, even the trivia missions are less entertaining. The missions in the spinoffs are more entertaining imo.

 

FR is top 15, and best since Exes 2. All facts! Unlike Dirty 30 this is actually binge worthy. 

honestly i already forgot like 80% of what happened this season

THE RETURN OF BRAD

We haven't seen Brad since he won Cutthroat. Since then he's had to deal with Tori and came off worse for it. So he decided to make a return to The Challenges and let me tell you I LOVED it. I've always liked Brad so I was excited to see him back. He returned on Vendettas and he deliverd. He Hooked up with Britni(Yuck and Yikes) and fought with Marie over some Pizza, fought with his awful ex-wife online, fought and made up with King Tony, and he did it all with those crazy eyes in tow. he continued his comeback tour on The Final Reckonig being paired with Kyle and made it very far in the game. Wasn't as entertaining but he made it far and I would;ve liked to see him made it to the end but alas it didn't happen. I do hope Brad comes back to these shows because I enjoyed this messy, Crazy *** side of him.

Oh and he littarly showed his bare *** on InstagramLive so he's shown his **** and *** on Screen so far. Perfection

AMANDA

Shocking Huh?

I didn't like her when she debuted. I felt like she was being a pointless ***** and trying really hard to make a name for herself(Which normally doesn't bother me but I just got annoyed with it with her for some reason).But then she started fighting with Camilla and dragging her and I was like okay...She hates Camilla. That's good but I'm going to need more from her because at some point Camilla is not going to be there and I need to know she's not just a one trick pony and can do more than just fight with one person...And that happened on Final Reckoning. She really showed that she can stand on her own in terms of being a character. She fought with Zach and CM. Had a little thing with Joss, competed well, and really just deliverd on all fronts and you know what? After all that there's no reason to hate the girl so I offically like her now. Her a the FR reunion made me love her even more. 

Amanda is headstrong, loyal, fun, entertaining, and a decent competitor to boot. She embodys alot of things you want from someone on this show and looking back I can't beleive I disliked her so much. 

Amanda is Queen. Always and Forever(One Tree Hill reference).
