Saying Bruno is a weak athlete is kind of a reach with people like Cory, Dario, Tony and Anthony there. The guys are pretty equal so sonething like Free Agents is good competition wise.

 

Anika... ;/

Potato Head better be gone next.

This whole thing is crazy though, especially with this odd format in play. I just hope it goes well when it airs.

Way too many people IMO for it to stay as something similar to free agents...they'd be there for months.Maybe this was a way to eliminate a couple people before the veterans/champions arrived.

...what do you mean? it could be the same amount of people or just 1 more male and female than FA l

How ? Free agents had 28 ppl with 11 episodes. rivals 3 had 28 ppl with 14 episodes.

4 people still go home per week as usual.

I'm sorry...maybe you just like this kid but Cory and Dario would likely destroy him in anything that dealt with any kind of contat.  Tony's a ***** so okay but there being another weak competitor doesn't make Bruno any less weak.  Theres'a on Anthony on this cast?  Can't comment on him

I thought we were looking at 32--that's an extra week assuming we still get down to 3 guys/3 girls.  My bad--I also thought Free Agents had 26 people

 

Bringing in the Champions late with a Free Agents-type theme seems very odd to me as well

Bringing in 8-10 players late is odd with any theme.

We dont know the exact number of cast members yet, as of last friday based on what I was told it was something individuals. Who knows if things change in the next couple of hours once the twist happened.

Agree

I like Bruno from a drama potential standpoint. My point is, the guys are pretty equal so i don't think there is any weak guys there. Hunter and Shane are the best athletic looking wise there. Which has nothing to do with how they will perform. So calling Bruno weak and putting him with Devyn if he would do good is kind of a reach. Cory has a pretty ****** up knee (which is why i wondered why he is doing this challenge), he had to have surgery like a month and a half ago again on his knee, it was shown on both of his seasons that this knee injury is affecting him pretty big already. Physical contact is like a death nail for him if you focus on his knee.Dario isn't as athletic as his baseball haydays in college, Bruno (whether you know it or not) has a boxing background. Anthony/Tony fall the same category. Guys being pretty equal athletic wise is a good cast, still not understand what the whole point with the champions now will be. The champions with an individual format are already the favorites to win smh.

Anika did about as well as I expected her to do. Just goes to show they should have had any other girl from bad blood.

I really hope it is individual

I don't see a shred of athleticism in Bruno.  Dario has athleticism--he just isn't in great shape.   Same with Cory and the knee issue.  Bruno has a background in boxing...lol.  Like at a gym or legit boxing?

Bringing in 8-10 players late is odd with any theme. 

Fair but it would have been somewhat logical if we were going to bring in a third team and the other teams just started with more people so we were cutting them down to 8-10 or whatever.

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean Bruno doesn't have it. You are clearly applying double measures here. As far as i know (and portraited on the show in the beginning) Bruno did legit boxing and started doing it after he trained himself how to walk again after his car accident on pretty much the same level as Dario doing baseball.

If they stay individuals they easily can used the champs as a "shock factor"/twist. Be like now you have to compete with the best.

Trained himself to walk again?  He has no chance on this.  And, if I'm wrong about his past, I can't see it (kind of like Knight playing hockey--lots of people play sports but aren't truly good at it) I'll own it.

That's exactly what I meant with applying double standards. Cory needed to train himself to walk again too after his two recent knee surguries (watch Cory's facebook interview where Cory explained that he couldn't walk and do anything physical for about two months, this was about 4- 6 weeks ago). If you look at Bruno's insta (I mean just look at the pictures PinkRose used...) and compare him to Anthony, Tony, Cory and Dario. This guys cast is as equal as it gets. Knowing their background of all people, it's even more clear.  And production ruins it again by brining in the two best ahletic guys there by far with Darrell and Bananas two/three elimination rounds later.

why would cory go after a knee surgery? i know when i tore my acl and had surgery, i couldnt do anything crazy with my knee for months.

I remember when challenge13 revealed that as of a certain time Cory was a no, many here were releaved and understood why Cory wouldn't do it then PinkRose revealed his name to be part of the cast and a lot of people were surprised about this. I think Cory is thinking about sitting pretty well strategically and thought he had a easy route (watch he will be the one that got eliminated after Bruno lol) 

Anika gives me a jasmine competitor type. So I'm not surprised she got eliminated second Sad

I'm rooting for Queen Emilee if she makes it past to the third elimination. Maybe she'll step up her game this time! 

Happy Shane is still there 

Like I said before, Emilee will have been a complete idiot to have not done some type of training before coming to this one. 2 years is more than enough time to get in great shape.

When Emilee provides the shock of the century & is the one to take out Jenna >>>>>>>>>

athletes in pro sports when they get knee surgeries, they are out for an entire season and then some. they do out of the ordinary shit on the challenge, like nobody should be climbing a mountain after just getting knee surgery. he was better off rehabing it and coming back next season with his knee near 100% as opposed to 6+ weeks removed from surgery where you def arent even running yet.

Fresh Meat 2 just proved Cara wasn't ready for the challenge...nothing about Darrell needing alliances.  It is truly sad that we never got to see Darrell in a Duel or FA

They went after him the first mission on FM. They had girls make sure Cara didn't  get  a ball in that mud ball mission.

So alliances does make an impact.

I agree! I don't see Bruno being a weak competitor
