People need to stop looking at the past. Most old school people would be boring. We need exciting fresh faces

if they would give us people who are exciting then I'd be a bit more open to it. I've like Melissa, Jenny, and Amazing Race Jenn were the random show people that have been decent and not super over the top this last season. Imo lol

also I would take a wallpaper old school person over any of the new people acting for camera time. 

Who brought the fun: Veronica and Trishelle were the stars of their seasons they were on (Marie more so on Vendettas and FR but still Veronica was one of the few I was rooting for). Both came back and slayed in their first season back. Veronica WAS Dirty 30 and Trishelle performed well and was hilarious on Seasons. Shane brought it and made invasion (and 90% can't said a word, I was rereading his thread the other day cause I wanna bored and ya'll were singing his praises loke like no other). Brad, love him or hate him he created some drama. Darrell was great on invasion, and the stupid format made us lose him on Dirty 30 (and his tie with Nelson should have sent Nelson home on vendettas since he didn't beat him imo). Derrick didn't bring any drama, but the guy can compete well and knocked out bananas and thankfully showed how ridiculous Nelson is and got Nelson to kick himself off.  

All of them have had amazing returns and added a lot to their seasons. Not to mention it gives us someone to root for lol <3  

No those 2 girls weren't the stars of Battle of the seasons and dirty 30/vendettas/FR . I can name like 5 people gender from those seasons that brought more than them lmaoooo

Once again I am here looking which one of those dinosaurs brought any type of "fun" back since you use that word. You're just been biased because when it comes to this show you live on the past and you have a soft spot for them.

Completely disagree about Trishelle.  She was awful every second during her return.   Shane, Darrell, Brad and Veronica all were useful additions although Veronica shouldn't have done 3 in a row.

Has anyone been "fun"?   Darrell's the closest to bringing "fun" and he doesn't do it intentionally.  To be clear I don't think new or old people are fun at this point.

Veronica brought all the fun for me. She slayed Aneesa in emanation, the Leroy moment was the best part of that season, and she made dirty 30 100%. That season would have a been a dud without her. I just rewatched it a month or two ago, and I'll stand by that opinion.  I'm 100% biased cause in my opinion they made good tv <3 lol 

Trishelle's commentary was just funny, she created drama, she openly admitted to just pretending to care during challenges and made second place with the only two person team.  

anyways....still holding out false hope that an og appears on that list lol

 

 

Good news is that depending on when filming starts, like in September, Cara might not be on because Jamie's wedding is then sometime. I still think she might not do it at all if Paulie wasn't on at this point. Small hope there.

She wants to do it.

Oh, I don't doubt she wants to do it but I feel like Paulie would get whiney and prevent her. He's so weirdly controlling and she's a doormat to him. 

Though question: do you think she'd skip her cousin's wedding to go? I'm hoping not and the times clash so she's not on...

I know from a reliable source that she 100% wants to do it. Idk how she will plan to work it around her cousin wedding if she gets a final call to be on.

As crazy this sound unlike last season this time around it does sound like production is the one having second thoughts about having her on NOT her.

Jamie's wedding is the first weekend in September (its on the 4th). Is filming supposed to be going on then? If it's not , schedule wise she could do it if production decides they want her.

This, I love veronica but she was far from a star and trashelle was at best a minor character lol

The problem with the oldschool cast is there arent many who can compete and bring drama. People ask for coral back all the time like she wouldn't be getting purged first or the first one sent home.

Ehhh...the purge on XXX was weird so anyone could have survived or left early.    And I think she would have beat Nicole Ramos on Vendettas.  It would be interesting to see how she would have performed on XXX or Free Agents but I'll still take her back even if it's just one episode of confessionals.

The thing with old school is that people think that they are the same people that they were 20 years ago which most aren't.

Aneesa probably the only one who's the same person

to counter that though everytime they've brought one back they have have added to their season in one way or another.  None of them were complete wallpaper.  All have performed well.  People trash Veronica for not getting on the hanging meat but short people are never going to be able to grow and jump longer.  CT screwed that up for her.  I dunno, I feel there should always be 2-4 spots open for just old schoolers to have a more well rounded cast.  Once again, just my opinion.  I know I'm in the minorty here lol (and I stand by my Veronica and Trishelle comment 100% lol)

You have my full support regarding old schoolers but I'm lost about Trishelle  lol

Derrick was basically wallpaper but he typical was...he only really brings competition

Im here for an old schooler coming back here and there especially if they look as shredded as darrell did when he returned. I would hate for someone to return after a long hiatus and then get sent home early because of lack of connections or lack of being in shape. An old schooler coming back has big pressure because if they flop no way they will get another chance to return.

Probably not likely.. but what about Anthony B from AYTO/EOTB? I feel like he's been more active on Instagram lately and posting about the gym. That seems to be everyone's go-to move

Dont hold your breath

People need to stop looking at the past. Most old school people would be boring. We need exciting fresh faces

I wish people would include receipts before making comments like this, I really do....its like playing whack a mole. Shane proved his value, Brad proved his value, Trishelle proved her value, Veronica proved her value 5x over on dirty 30, Aneesa just AGAIN proved her value, Darrell and Derrick proved their immense physical value. Was Derrick boring? Sure, did Veronica go out too early to give us anything on her last 2? Sure, but if you look at the numbers, OGs more often than not justify their inclusion.

I felt that ^

I wonder what Tori hall would have been like if she was actually on Season 35.

challengetea911 in his ig comments saying jirdan isnt doing next season because he has other projects lol sureeeeee

I wonder what Tori hall would have been like if she was actually on Season 35.

She would have threatened to quit at least once and been called a b---- by someone (Frank, Aneesa, John).  The same as every other challenge lol

I wonder what Tori hall would have been like if she was actually on Season 35.

wouldve flung jenni

Challengetea911 said Jordan and Theo won't be on however Challengetea911 said Theo May be on last minute 

Was really hoping to see Theo, I'll be bummed if he isn't on.

that explains why hes tryingh to twitter beef with nelson?

Was really hoping to see Theo, I'll be bummed if he isn't on.

He still have stitches on his eyes he needs to be clear before doing anytging

Crazy he has had stitches in for so long.

I really do make an effort to understand the opinions of others on here, I really do, but there is a pattern on here of people ignoring facts and not giving credit where credit is due when it comes to OG competitors. I've exhausted all other arguments so I'll turn to the numbers where there is no way to argue against.

Trishelle on Battle of the Seasons: Trishelle WAS a star of that show, this is not bias, this is not nostalgia, that is a fact. I'm not going to list of the great moments she contributed but I will list these two things.

1. She had the 3rd most confessionals out of any player on that season (There were 32 btw)

2. She had the most confessionals out of every woman, making her the breakout female star of the season, beating out certified confessional ***** Sarah

Veronica on Dirty 30: Not THE star, but A star, safely in the top 10 most relevant competitors of that season; (Jordan, Tori, Camila, CM, Tony, CT, Kailah, Jenna, Hunter, V)  I again will not go over her iconic moments of this season, but will offer this;

1. In addition to a high confessional count, Veronica recieved more confessionals than anybody else for two episodes, meaning for those two episdoes she was the STAR and her story carried the most weight. To put that achievement into perspective, Jordan & Kailah only recieved the most confessionals for one episode a piece, something favorites like Banana, CT, Jenna, and Tony can't even claim. Veronica was more relevant on that seasons then Bananas and CT, that again is not bias, that is a cold hard fact. Also just to add, Darrell was the confessional king for the one episode he was in the main house.

2. From a competition standpoint, statistically Veronica was the 4th strongest female competitor of the season, only performing worse than the 3 ladies that made the final

I know I'm a broken record, but to be dismissive and deliberatly obtuse about what these "dinosaurs" have brought to the show is maddening. I get that I am clearly biased, but I also know that the majority of these people that talk out against OGs have not watched their original shows and have not been given the opportunity to become attached. Without that crucial context, arguments against them getting cast are largely unsupported. I also understand those that don't want people of a certain age on the show, thats fine, but then I expect those same people to call for CT & Bananas to retire b/c they are part of the same age bracket. You then can't make the argument "well, CT & Bananas are more relevant", if you hold FR and Vendettas against Veronica, I expect people to hold XXX and War of the Worlds against Bananas and CT.
