YesJust to remind BMP/MTV.
Abram --- Delivered
Shane --- Delivered
Darrell --- Delivered
Trishelle --- DeliveredAlton --- Delivered Aneesa --- Delivered Old School don't play.
Still have no idea how production doesn't realize this. Trashelle, Aneesa, and Cooke WERE Rivals 2. Abram made Bloodlines interesting especially that room breaking elimination. Darrell and Shane are showing them what's good on Invasion. I swear if we don't get any old schoolers (debut pre FM) on S30 a ***** is gonna flip #CampusCrawlforS30
The most NOTABLE cast members have been Coral, Veronica, Katie, (somewhat) Rachel, Beth S., Tonya (from BOTS2 to Ruins), Miz, Abram, CT, Darrell(for winning not really for entertainment), Brad, Derrick, Evan, Kenny, Bananas...and now the new age people who keep coming back.
But the faces are people who really contributed to the franchise with key moments in its history. Most of these new people haven't done that. But I will note that the men seem to dominate over the women throughout the series. Women usually bring more drama. So it depends what you watch for. I personally get entertained more by the drama amongst the women....and Ty.lol
Aneesa the star of rivals 2? Aneesa does the same act every season. Talks about how much shes grown, starts shit with people and then cries that they wronged her. I love Aneesa but she was def not the star of rivals 2. Cooke/Cara underdog story, CT winning for the first time, CT and Diem love story and Jordan/Frank feud were the most notable parts if rivals 2
As for invasion this season has been the best in years. I dont really like how its UDvs UD elim, and champ vs champ elim but the cast challenges and eliminations have been awesome. Its gonna sting watching laurel eliminate cara for the 2nd time. (i dont really count the first they gave cara a wall climbing contest with one good hand) but still awesome season. Especially with shane and darrel coming back and outperforming most people.

Well, they aren't.Not to say that they can't be entertaining and contribute to the show but people who DEFINE the show? Nope.
There's quite a few females back then that revolutionized the show.
Only a select few. And I wouldn't even say few...more like a couple.
I wouldn't say there's a whole bunch on the male side either. I'm curious to see who and the smount of male cast members you got...
The only one I would say is Chadwick. He and Holly on Battle of the season were the first ones to really play dirty and cutthroat. That would give way to the gameplay we see today on this show.
For the women I would say Emily(Second Adventrue) she played cutthroat too but she did it more cold and mean way.
Everyone else was just a popular castmember. Not revolutionaries.

They should have at least done 3 challenges each smh. Chadwick was a solid competitor and Holly was a killer.
I like Ashley, and have liked her more and more since Explosion, but I think she's extremely overrated. Winning this season is awesome, and good on her for becoming a champion, won't take that away from her at all. But I don't think she's that great of a competitor, and I'd put her below Nicole and Jenna on the Underdogs. I get she beat Nicole on the final, but we have yet to see what happens.
If the eliminations were Champions vs. Underdogs, I don't think any of the Underdogs wouldve made the final except Nicole and maybe Jenna. Again, I like Ashley and think she's doing good this season, but not great. I look forward to seeing her in the final, and I have a feeling endurance and mentality is going to come in it and separate her from Camila and Nicole. I also have a bad feeling partners is going to be the difference maker in the final, Free Agents style.
I'll continue to like Ashley, but I just think she's overrated and is simply "good" to "above average". The one thing I think she has over Nicole as the"top UD" is the passion to win. I think Nicole is taking the whole experience in, the competition, social game, partying, hooking up, and Ashley simply has the money in mind, it being her second challenge is helping her with that.

I actually agree with you. I honestly think that Ashley is a solid competitor with the potential to be above average. But in no way is that ***** elite.
Meanwhile Nicole got 3rd ;/. Still weird that Ashley beat Camila someone who is expected to be above her and Nicole at the same time. In the first ever 3 day final. Shaking.
And I said, let's wait to see how it actually happens. Guess you're one of those people who only takes placement into consideration.. Because like I said, there are probable partners, puzzles, and mental things that come into it. I still think Nicole and Camila are better competitors, but unless you were there, you wouldn't know how Ashley beat Camila and Nicole.
its like Devyn make the FA final. Shit went her way, she was mentally strong, played a solid social game, and shit happens. Same with Svetlana coming in second on the Duel. She was gifted by production, chose the only Duel she could beat Aneesa in, and had good partners help her win challenges while other competitors knock each other out. I give her credit to beating Kina, just like I'll give Ashley for being a decent competitor, but overall, they aren't "strong and dominant" by any means.
Yeah. For all we know Ashley may have gotten lucky at some point in the final and that allowed her to come in 1st. Not to say that 100% happened but given that we haven't seen the final we don't know how the placements happened.
Maybe she was ill or was physically in pain after the day mission, and hence was confined to bed. It could happens sometimes...
Anastasia putting CT in his place too.
Exactly.
And they say women aren't the defining cast members of this franchise. Hmmm...
True. IMO you could only make a case for Cooke. Trishelle and Aneesa? Nah.
Well, they aren't.
Not to say that they can't be entertaining and contribute to the show but people who DEFINE the show? Nope.
Come on guys that weak *** push and slap by cory wasnt shit watch nelson beat that ***
Nah. Neslon going DOWN!
There's quite a few females back then that revolutionized the show.
Ashley M, Amanda, and Sylvia are proving that wrong.
Only a select few. And I wouldn't even say few...more like a couple.
Eye roll.
Nah Cory's *** is going down
Where ? Nelson barely flew ! Do you remember that Cory got tossed by Arielle ? A ******* slim *** female ? Cory ain't that strong !
shane said she got extra sick after she drank water from the steps in her elimination and said she was puking for days
blasphemy
Can we skip to the elimination where Darrell sends home his CT made Backpack? Can't wait for it already

Ashley was the first girl to ring the bell in the 3-way elimination.
