I hate this format so much.

Why do they doom the flagship with dumb formats? Didn't they see how wonderful USA 2 was received? At the very least, this format should not go more than 2 more rounds. Six episodes is enough.

CML it's time to retire the grammar corrections. This is not Harvard, half of these fools don't even have a GED.

also some people here whose first language isnt english

If we know one thing, it's that they are incompetent.

Idk if Emily beats Cara as easily as we think. Would love to see Cara beat her in something physical and get her revenge from Emily not ******* with her on Rivals 2

Emily annihilated Cara in X battle. Very few physical battles against Emily is Cara winning.

Since Paulie and Nurys left together do you think they orchestrated a "hook up" for drama, clout and call back. Neither have a reason to going to the reunion. 

Not at all. Paulie prob said something slick about Theo, Nurys wouldn't ever be his storyline and vice versa. 

Cara's in SERIOUS danger. We know she struggles against Laurel and Emily destroyed her in X battle. If they really keep this format to 20, which is SIX more elimination rounds, they are seriously risking her going home early.

I'm not saying she's better than Laurel (she's not), but she hasn't actually proven that she "struggles against Laurel" with the two eliminations she went up against her in. Like obviously if it's physical, she's losing... but she can beat her in so many things. As for Emily, that was over a decade ago, she could stand a chance against her now. She'd also smoke her in anything that involves using your brain. HAVE FAITH IN MY GIRL! 

I wanted Aneesa to get dropkicked by Jenny.

Never gonna happen.

Emily and Cara are both about the same levels of physical fitness as a decade ago. Cara's maybe a bit stronger? But Emily's also younger. I think in a physical elimination, Emily beats Cara 8 out of 10 times. And Laurel beats Cara 7 out of 10 times.

I wanted Aneesa to get dropkicked by Jenny.

Can she go against Jodi or Rachel in literally ANYTHING that requries upper body strength please so she can GO HOME. Give her Knot So Fast, or Ascender, or ANYTHING where she has to climb just a little bit and she'll quit.

Please please PLEASE let Aneesa be the next one out.

So does this mean that you think that Emily would beat Laurel in a physical elimination? Interesting, I don't think so

That was literally 12 years ago. Cara has def gotten bigger/stronger and Emily to me has gotten leaner

Cara 12 years ago on Exes and today is night and day.

I think Emily beats Laurel 7 out of 10 times, yeah.

what's the format?

How did cara look when she faced Emily?

Man I hope Cory beat Leroy but we all know it's probably Tony or Jordan

How did cara look when she faced Emily?

Much thinner. Think that was around when she first started working out. She hadn't won yet or was even pegged as a future winner, was an anchor in most pairs she was in around that time, had 0 confidence in herself and was dealing with an abusive Abe. 

If Bananas loses before it goes individual, he will NEVER live it down.

unpopular opinion but

pole wrestle & balls in > hall brawl

If Bananas loses before it goes individual, he will NEVER live it down.

Sounds like he's already been in one elimination which is actually suprising to me 

Oh nia vs tori is going to be a swimming puzzle omg

Nia has never been bad at memory/puzzles. 

From each era choose a male/female who's the best at the following:

1. Daily 2. Eliminations 3. Endurance 4. Puzzles 5. Under pressure / back against the wall!

i hate hall brawl. It feels reckless and lowkey endangers the contestants. But then again so do all the dangling-over-water challenges. Whatever

Era 1: CT is a lock to make the next round, none of those guys can beat him. Darrell's slowed down quite a bit but I still think he's a strong #2. Derrick and Brad are probably in serious trouble since their team is struggling. Rachel survives in anything except Back Up Off Me against Aneesa. Jodi probably survives too. I don't see how Tina beats Aneesa in anything other than endurance.

Era 2: Bananas, Nehemiah, and maybe (soft maybe) Derek advance. Ryan is dead in the water. Emily and Laurel advance. Cara and Aviv are in SERIOUS danger.

Era 3: Cory, Jordan, and Tony advance. I don't see Devin beating them in anything non-puzzle. Tori and Nia advance. Averey is scrappier in eliminations than Jonna. I think this team probably has 7 or 8 make the next round though.

Era 4: Theo, Jenny, Kaycee all obviously making the next round. Probably Horacio and Kyland too. Olivia is a toss-up. Michele and Josh are doomed.

If eliminations are done within teams, I'm actually not worried about Nia at all.  

I'd only worry about Tori in something straight up physical; but Nia beats her in everything else. However, even physically I'd NEVER underestimate the queen. 

Also, something to note because I don't think many of you know, but Emily doesn't even workout as much as she used to. I'd argue her CvS shape, is better than the shape she's going into this with.  

I could realistically see Aviv or one of the more physical girls pulling out an upset.
