The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

I am SOOOO happy that Sarah is gone right away (2nd one to leave). She has this belief that she is AMAZING because in 1 challenge, her first one, she did extremely well (the Ruins). Since then, she was the 2nd one to leave in FM2, she couldn't finish a final (Cutthroat), and then lost to rookies in Rivals. And, she blamed her loss in FM2 and rivals on her partner. I GUARANTEE you, she will blame this loss again on Vinny.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;288567]Are we still underestimating Tyrie? Didn't it take Paula 9 times to win. Sorry I can't help myself, xD[/QUOTE] 8 but good try, sometimes counting can be difficult. Paula also made the finals 3 of her first 4 challenges. Tyrie has done 5 never made it to the end and has only made it halfway once. Your comparisons are way off.

Why has everyone ruled out CT working with Mark and Johnny, maybe for a little while on this challenge atleast. Johnny doesn't have his butt buddies on this challenge with him, so maybe he decides to work with CT out of fear. I dont know I guess we'll see soon enough.

I'll watch the first few to see how Dustin-Heather are received by the others, but beyond that I will skip until maybe the last episode unless they have had some real competition. I'm sure the hard-core fans will disagree with me, but most of the competitions seem like such blowouts that are attempted to be made dramatic by so-so editing, that it turns me off. I'd rather see two people slugging it out neck and neck all the way to the finish line in a 40-yard dash than see two people slogging water up a mountain in buckets where they aren't even in earshot of each other well before the finish line.

I didn't even know Aneesa or Rachel's name was even being thrown around. I haven't read any clues on their twitters. If the theme is the couples/exes like we've all thought, then I find it funny that they're once again leaving out the NOLA2 kids, haha. Nothing happened with Veronica and Evan but I could totally seeing BMP exaggerating it to where they could be a "couple".

[QUOTE=JL81790;285489]Your opinion is correct! It's also pretty much agreed upon by everyone who was there except for Paula. Dunbar and KellyAnne would be a hysterical pairing. @jesses_girl I'm with you on Mark being more boring than Dan but Mark just impresses me at how good at these things he is when he's so much older than everyone. But Dan and Robin would be pretty good (even though this isn't pairs). People who were on the Island said it was the most dysfunctional hook up they've ever seen and that's probably saying something...which makes me wonder why Dan didn't even get a call. Derrick said on one of his podcasts that him and Johnny used to tease Dan on Cutthroat that Robin's kid was his.[/QUOTE] Opinions can't be correct or they'd be facts. Kenny admitted to screwing over Paula, that's where Johnny got his Dbag status. The only people that felt that Dunbar was the only one screwed over were Ev, Johnny, Dunbar and Kelly Anne. I would hardly call that everyone.

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;285747] She could easily be talking about something else, but then again it could've also been a Good Luck post.[/QUOTE] A girl on tumblr said something nice about her. That's what she's referring to.

[QUOTE=blanky667;286004]Or maybe they just think it's a pairs challenge...[/QUOTE] okay then..... c)they're dumb

[QUOTE=cystic;286244]Why can't BMP just encompass the entire theme into "Castmembers Who At One Time or Another Showed Their Legs to Each Other"? :unknw:[/QUOTE] For some reason, this makes me hope that there is a God, that'll allow Camilla and Luke to be partners. I mean, she pushed him to the ground and at some point their bodies touched each other during that fight, right?! Eh?!

Anyone know why the big dude Zach was not asked to be on... he would have to be with Ashley, maybe she didnt want to do it... he seems like he would be a good person to size up CT-- I saw him at a bar and he is 6'4/6'5 easily... or maybe the whole EXES thing came into play since it seems he and that blonde girl are still together

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;287539]That didn't stop them from making 1 & 2 though lol. And the girls would probably do better this time around than the first two shows. On both of those the girls got whooped! However, i doubt it's a battle of the sexes format as well.[/QUOTE] Actually I think the girls will get DESTROYED if they ever do a Battle of the Sexes 3.

From what I have seen Naomi seems like a person that wouldn't enjoy any challenge. I don't think it has anything to do with production but rather the competition and drama.

[QUOTE=V1man;289335]Apparently all is not well in "castville" [/QUOTE] I saw that, I thought they were joking. [QUOTE=Nightwolf;289336]Ooh forgot Aneesa. She has 8 losses now too. If I may speculate, it doesn't seem difficult to figure out who was running things based on the unhappy people we've seen.[/QUOTE] The only people who seemed "unhappy" were Priscialla and Naomi. At least those are the only ones I've seen.

Are the remaining 4 teams finals bound or is it going to be 3 as per the norm?

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;282423]Well according to some other site that people posted on here, everyone from the Vegas2 season will be on the next challenge except for Mike lol That sucks if that's true.[/QUOTE] If that is true then I am even more suspicious that there is a current/former couples aspect to the format since Mike was the only one who didn't have an on-screen in-house romance from that season.

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;282578]I don't really want to see him, because he might be funny, but I don't think he will bring much to the game.[/QUOTE] Hardly anyone brings much to the game nowadays. He would be a welcome edition to the show IMO.

[QUOTE=bombshell917;283433]That can be either challenge related or nt so idk,i think I less than 2 weeks we are going to find out the actual cast (y)[/QUOTE] Okay well then that can be said for ALL of the people you listed. Especially since it is flu season and people go get flu shots, or because all these people sleep around on a regular basis and should be tested for STDs or HIV.

Today Adam said on his twitter that he wanted to see someone in 2 weeks, which would conflict with filming, so I think he is probably off this challenge.

PSHHHHHp???? Mark going into an elimination round will never happen. Nobody ever calls him out even if his partner is Robin they will be in the finals.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;287538]The girls wouldnt have a chance against the guys if it were BOS3 so I doubt that its going to be guys vs girls[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=jesses_girl;287539]That didn't stop them from making 1 & 2 though lol. And the girls would probably do better this time around than the first two shows. On both of those the girls got whooped! However, i doubt it's a battle of the sexes format as well.[/QUOTE] Anything is possible. Given the Tonya debacle, it would be good strategy for BMP to have a battle of the sexes season where the girls actually have a shot of winning. If it's not BOS3, this is the only logical explanation for the female eliminations I see: the mystery female got eliminated first and Wes got kicked off since the timing of his elimination is suspect. If there was another female elimination, I'm sure the savvy snoops here would have smoked her out by now.

I hope there are more newbies coming to the new challenge that's coming up in 2012.

Looking at the cast list,Is it safe to think there would only be one pair winning.

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;288314]From what I have seen Naomi seems like a person that wouldn't enjoy any challenge. I don't think it has anything to do with production but rather the competition and drama.[/QUOTE] Well so far we've seen that from Naomi and Priscilla. Could be a couple of different things - they are both first-time challengers, so it could just not be what they expected a challenge to be like. Secondly, they could have just been disgruntled at their treatment from the veterans, as both are rookies (i.e. constantly being voted to go into elimination rounds, etc). Thirdly, perhaps Production is being really strict about communication back home and not letting them go out and the entire cast will be disgruntled (i.e. Ruins). Time will only tell as more vets are eliminated and we can try and tell by their comments.

[QUOTE=jones10389;288818]Normally I would agree with you but...I think a lot of the girls aside from Rachel and Aneesa are scared to go up against Emily in a elimination round. So if Ty can just hold his own vs whatever guy is in there with him they are a tough team to get rid off imo.[/QUOTE] If there's a challenge of endurance I don't think they'd want to go against Diem either. If anyone remembers the challenge where she was in the pool of mud if it comes down to a stamina like challenge they wouldn't do too hot against her.

[QUOTE=jones10389;288932]He can't tell them not to use there facebook or Twitter accounts though.[/QUOTE] He, They, Them can even tell someones Mom not to post based on old contracts!

[QUOTE=V1man;289335]Apparently all is not well in "castville" [/QUOTE] I feel like they're joking.

No guys will ever work together with CT as long as he is competition to them winning, simple as that...doesn't matter the concept of the challenge or how the teams are constructed. CT has proven repeatedly that he can be a strong, dominant player and make it to the end without playing politics and relying on his physical ability. Johnny & Mark have both demonstrated in the past that they will flock to any other decent players in the game that they can who can stick around long enough and help them eliminate their biggest threats, and in this case, CT is their biggest threat. Not only just him, but Diem also has exceptional long distance running endurance and Johnny and Mark have Camila and Robin as partners...do the math.

[QUOTE=Blue123;283436]Ohh I see, and yes I wrote disease (the "v" in HIV stands for virus, viruses cause disease so HIV is a disease, disease is anything that messes with the body). Crazies vs good guys, thats kind of insulting lmao I dont think CT would like being called that. I know I woulnt at least use a nicer synonym, like on I3 they called them bad ***** not ****** bags. And if you guys are referring to Wes' ***** getting paid to take STD test tweet, I dont know if he was talking about himself. Damn I hope the challenge will start filming already!! I wana know who is on it now![/QUOTE] Not to hijack the topic... my apologies, but that's wrong. HIV is a virus that weakens your immune system to the point of allowing opportunistic diseases (TB being a big one) to completely defeat your body. It is in no way a disease. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of virus vs disease. The medication you receive to treat HIV combats viral reproduction and builds your immune system against opportunistic diseases (They also make it a requirement that you get flu/pneumonia shots, because those become easy to get when you reach the point of AIDS, with a collapsed immune system). Feel free to message me if you're interested in more information (I work for AIDS Partnership of Michigan), I won't continue this any more in the thread. With that said though, I'm really hoping to see some of the old school members like Adam L (even though I wasn't a big fan of him in all honesty, #TeamSarah from Gauntlet 1) and Trishelle. I know Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) probably isn't likely with his comedic acts that he's been focusing on (And he's absolutely hilarious on facebook), but damn, his commentary in any challenge he does is comedic gold. I'm curious how some of the older cast members will interact with the new ones, especially with how Robin and Aneesa were thrown into the Jungle by the new cast. Will there be bad blood between Laurel and both of them, considering it was her effort to put them in there? So much to think about.

Wow at Sarah she's been on every challenge from the ruins to now. SMH

Vinny sounds like he is a go too. Every person so far makes sense couple wise.

[QUOTE=jones10389;286011]PSHHHHHp???? Mark going into an elimination round will never happen. Nobody ever calls him out even if his partner is Robin they will be in the finals.[/QUOTE] Haha, if he makes it past this challenge as well without going into an elimination round, I will think he is the man. The fact that he never went into an elimination round on the duel 2 with players like Landon, Brad, MJ, and Evan and was a 37 year old man is amazing. If this is a team challenge, It'll be easy for him to skate by to the finals.

[QUOTE=Euroslavia;286266]For some reason, this makes me hope that there is a God, that'll allow Camilla and Luke to be partners. I mean, she pushed him to the ground and at some point their bodies touched each other during that fight, right?! Eh?![/QUOTE] That would really bring me to my breaking point...Thankfully Luke has been tweeting pretty consistently.

[QUOTE=jeckenrode09;286522]Anyone know why the big dude Zach was not asked to be on... he would have to be with Ashley, maybe she didnt want to do it... he seems like he would be a good person to size up CT-- I saw him at a bar and he is 6'4/6'5 easily... or maybe the whole EXES thing came into play since it seems he and that blonde girl are still together[/QUOTE] He is 6'3 220, it says that on his college football profile. His roomate on San Diego, Nate, is 6'0 220. They are both considered pretty big for challenge competitors. Mark is 6'3 215, and he looks like one of the biggest.

Can't wait to see if something is going to happen between CT and Abram about the comment CT made on Rivals.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;288059]Looking at the cast list, is it safe to think there would only be one pair winning?[/QUOTE] What do you mean?

[QUOTE=townie;289595]No guys will ever work together with CT as long as he is competition to them winning, simple as that...doesn't matter the concept of the challenge or how the teams are constructed.

You'd hear other players even say, "that girl can compete!"

[QUOTE=molds13;282426]Really?[/QUOTE] I'm not asking you to tell us what the challenge is, just if you can tell by looking at the list how the teams are set up.

Boo.

[QUOTE=InfamousJoks;286515]I don't see what else you do in a speculation thread besides speculate, but ok.[/QUOTE] I believe what she is referring to is that certain postings are saying "I wish so-and-so was on this challenge" or "I bet you anything __________'s gonna be there!" And it throws everything off. Molds is very careful in what she posts and makes sure that she has proof and evidence before posting such claims. I mean, just back during Rivals, it took her FOREVER to reveal that Robin was the mystery female we were all waiting to find. But that was because there was no visible proof or evidence when the cast first departed. Also, Molds is very kind to the cast and does not like to put them in harm's way (i.e. the wrath of BMP). If someone has screenshots or other ways to support his or her claim(s), he or she is more than welcome to PM Molds (I think >_>) with that information. Otherwise, it gets really confusing. Take, for instance, the several posts that say "Ty is 100% there." Now, we don't have confirmation that he is actually there, but now that it's been posted, I'm sure several people are going to be spreading that around the thread. In the end, Molds is doing us a HUGE favor (besides the obvious one of telling us who's on the challenge) by setting up these guidelines. In the end, it's for our own benefit (in addition to her sanity).

IF IF IF it's a pairs challenge like the assumption, I think Abram and Cara Maria could take it, or CT & Diem (if Diem is even going...)

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;288569]8 but good try, sometimes counting can be difficult. Paula also made the finals 3 of her first 4 challenges. Tyrie has done 5 never made it to the end and has only made it halfway once. [B]Your comparisons are way off.[/B][/QUOTE] waaayyy

Everyone just has to wait until next Wednesday and watch the Mark-Johnny battle. You can probably tell if Mark is throwing it, because Mark is bigger, stronger, and in better shape then Johnny. So if Johnny wins kind of easily it was def thrown.

Knight and Jemmye just broke up recently, didn't they? Wonder if they really did or if it's just for the show. Seems like a pretty big coincidence if they just all of a sudden broke up and then got on the challenge because of it. Either way, I would like to see them on it.

Is it still possible that Derrick and Emily are on this challenge? They both stopped tweeting around the same time everyone else did and they both tweet a lot everyday.

I think we all missed one very obvious pairing that should not be ruled out: Eric Nies and Jump Rope. Write that down, molds.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;288569]8 but good try, sometimes counting can be difficult. Paula also made the finals 3 of her first 4 challenges. Tyrie has done 5 never made it to the end and has only made it halfway once. Your comparisons are way off.[/QUOTE] How? It still took her several challenges to finally win one. Doesn't matter how many times she made the finals or not.
