Am i tripping for thinking The Hopper is the best elimination selection format they've had
I enjoyed it when it came to the strategic thinking behind it, but I didn't like that it was essentially a vessel for production to choose the matchup
i feel like if they really wanted to they could just do that anyway
They need to involve the players in the process or something so we can have some accountability to ensure production is not tampering with this. Not that hard.
Am i tripping for thinking The Hopper is the best elimination selection format they've had
The Hopper + the Cutthroat format + mutiny made the first seven episodes of CUSA2 the most strategically invested I've been in The Challenge in years. There was so much about the game to talk about. It was amazing.
Last place elimination rule is only fun when someone unexpectedly shits the bed during a daily and finds themselves in that position
Or when ppl get to choose the order for a daily, often intentionally sabotaging the person or team going first which sometimes results in last place
Last place is always a good idea. See Rivals. Top people and pairs will make mistakes. They aren't going in otherwise. The only issue with Rivals is no one had the balls to throw in Evan against Kenny or Laurel against Evelyn but last gives you a much better shot at good eliminations. See AS3 even.
*** is the hopper I stopped watching the series in early 2022 help
Watch the first seven episodes of the Challenge USA 2. It's a three team Cutthroat format with the winning team sending in one male or one female and the rest of the house voting for the other male or female. But the Hopper is like a ping pong ball lottery system. 1 vote = 1 ball. It's truly wonderful and innovative. It's the best format The Challenge has had since Free Agents.
alot of the people on the recent seasons have never played a season where last goes in, so we have no idea how they will react. That vacation alliance has been relying on their numbers, which admittedly gets them far, but how do they do when they have to actually perform and not coast?
And then you have some people who will straight up spiral when they know they're last and automatically going in.
its much better than seeing the main alliance going straight to the finals with no worries

Completely agree! If I'm gonna have to see the Vacation alliance all in the final again I want them to at least earn it and they likely won't.
Jk I did watch some stuff in 2023 lol and I do remember watching a bit of usa2 and now recall the hopper, yes that was a great idea and they should use it more but they should probably use a wheel with all the names instead like the gauntlet 2

They'd have to find way to edit the suspense in like when the host (i'm not saying his name, f him) reveals how many times someones name Is in the hopper.
- the seasons shouldn't have any duds so the Colleen / Moriah / Zara' s can sit this one out for one season, everyone needs to be able to provide and you shouldn't have the likes of Tina / V / Kailah / Amanda sitting with those girls
I agree with this whole heartedly, however if it's a battle of the ages they are going to want representation from the latest season. Zara & Colleen can win dailies and keep Tory and her crew from running things. Colleen has shown she's not afraid to go against the grain and she doesn't like Devon. So if we are forced to have representation I'll gladly take those two over Olivia and Boriah who will play the vets game and not buck the system or make a move.
you can't drag the girls for their support for competitors over drama when you're wanting the same thing -- Zara & Colleen ain't stopping shit sorry to break it to you definitely when production put in more Vacationers in anyways over them -- if we need new school representatives we have Nurys / Ravyn / Michele / Melissa

I keep saying this but people still keep saying dumb stuff like "why wont they target them "? They literally win 85 percent of dallies on a season. Numbers don't keep them dominate its performing that does.

But what about those like Jay/Michele and Nurys/Nelson who each won 2 dailies and wasted their power on less threatening teams on 38?
Yes, lets not even try a format that could possibly take em out. Lets just hand them their places in the final right now. Yall act like theyre infallible.

THIS. Thank you, even when the vacation alliance doesn't win the idiots in power fumble the bag here. Hopefully Nurys has learned her lesson to not fumble like this again.
make it messy and bring on a team challenge- make people from different eras have to coexist and come together or potentially fight for their lives in the game
THIS.
and last place automatically goes in
NO! WE DONT WANT LAST PLACE GOING IN ON A SEASON WITH OLDIES! WHY DO YOU WANT JOHN, TORY, KASEY, CT, AND DEVON BEING LOCKED IN FOR ANOTHER FINAL WITH ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE LEAVING EARLY? Shut up with this stupidity.
My sources tell me Svetlana has been in the gym the last 6 months everyday doing crazy cardio and benching at least 160 as of 3 days ago. She has also been rumored to solve the Rubix cube in 6 seconds, and has done a 125 sequence pattern in Simon without fail. She also plays Scrabble, Sodoku, and Jenga every night while drinking a jug of Poland Spring.
They aren't ready. Glad Jenna won't be on this season, because Svetlana is the only person who can beat her and both are the clear favorites to win.

The fact that you think Nelson isnt apart of that group is wild. Also Michele was literally doing whatever they told her in usa 2

Queen keeps getting discussed in every thread! Can't be boring if you are a main topic!

All of this x100
Tried to make the worst cast possible using the up in the air list:

You ate me up there. I don't watch dailies. I just thought I read someone saying she sucked at dailies and I ran with it with confidence.
Asking for last place goes in is now an offense worthy of banning according to Bacchus.
Can't be the worst without bananas
the vacation alliance is literally good at Daily Challenges....
Well done. Other than Tori, Devin, Brad and Mark are all good for this though. Like or hate them. Probably Aneesa too.

The squad will be back together for S40.
YEAH STOP THIS STUPIDITY

Hopefully Diabeesa gets "Medical DQ - Fat" in episode 1 so at least there's an alternate included.
