The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

I think David Leech (Road Rules Viewer's Revenge) has been dropping hints that he's going to be on the next one, but I'll post a tweet when it's not as cryptic.

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;285295]He/She probably should have included that/those tweet(s) also then.[/QUOTE] No. They have already been posted, weeks back.

Still working on my screenshots but... [url=http://twitter.com/#!/MrDavidLeach]Twitter[/url] On David Leetch's twitter he says that "I suck at Tests. Suck" on October 23rd, possibly referring to the Psych test. Then the next day, he says "I needed that phone call, made my day. ;)" around the same time Adam Royer said 10 days. If anyone can put up a screenshot, that'd be great.

[QUOTE=bloop747;285805]I will be such a happy camper if CT is on the next one. I really want him to win one! .[/QUOTE] He definitely makes things interesting, I would like to see him on it too. Honestly I wasnt a huge fan of rivals, I thought it was a pretty good season but I have high hopes for this one, the cast is really shaping up to have a lot of my favorites speculated to be on.

I'm loving this cast so far. The only ones i'd trade out are Dunbar, Paula, Sarah, Mandi, and Camila.

[QUOTE=ballinbroken;286570]They probably didn't want 6 las vegas people. even though I wouldn't have minded watching 6 of them try to ally against the veterans.[/QUOTE] That wouldn't make sense. I mean they've had several people all from the same season on the same challenge before so why would they just shy away from that?

[QUOTE=ILoveRW;286833]Theory (if allowed): Maybe its a Duel III, but if you make it to the final with your partner you double your winnings or something along those lines. I just can't see Rachel and Mark coming back if it wasn't an individual challenge. [B]Also what if Rachels partner was actually Darrell, Annesa's Dunbar and Paula's anyone[/B].[/QUOTE] I'm kind of leaning towards something like this since it doesn't look like there will be a male/male couple. Davis just hung out with someone this weekend in New York, Tyler is in Arizona, Shane is in North Carolina, JD doesn't have a counterpart, nor does Derek (Cancun), and the only one left is Ryan. He would need either Davis or Shane for it to work.

Oh good point, I forgot it was a couples or hookup theme. Damn IMDB LIES!!!!

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;282720]I wonder if Dustin has the standing with BMP where they'll just give him a slap on the wrist. Sort of like how Johnny can pretty much say whatever he wants and never get reprimanded.[/QUOTE] Given the comparatively bad ratings of San Diego, they'll probably have Fratpad Challenges playing pin the tail on Spencer (yes, Tyler will once again win)

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;284524] this could very easily be nothing, but she posted 10 days around the same time as Adam Royer, i don't think thats a coincidence. Test could also be anything, but maybe the psych test? Just think about it.[/QUOTE] It is interesting how the auction bid also ends on the assumed date that Adam Royer would be leaving. I do think you are reaching with the tweet saying test though.

[QUOTE=MF41590;285038]Or it could possibly mean about 100 other locations...[/QUOTE] Well they've done Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia. Doubt they would go anywhere in Central or South America after last season. So that leaves Japan or China.

How have I not seen this thread yet?

Also somewhat surprised to see Rachel again. When one of the last few challenges started (I think maybe Cutthroat?), she wrote on twitter that watching the premiere and seeing the way the people were acting cemented her decision to "retire." I guess she either got the "itch" to return, or she ran out of her Duel 2 money. Or maybe Aneesa persuaded her to go on? Also noticed Molds posted about the "southern" location. We know it's international, or else BMP wouldn't be flying everyone to Miami. They've done South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and many South American locations. Wonder which they'll return to. Or perhaps Mexico - that's always been a BMP favorite, and I assume filming costs are less there than some of the other locales.

[QUOTE=jones10389;286827]They should im pretty sure Johnny and Mark are going in with an agreeement and i think Abe will team with them. Possibly Wes.[/QUOTE] I can see Wes trying to align with CT on this one, and then try to throw CT under the bus 1st chance he gets of course. Also can see CT and Leroy maybe working together.

[QUOTE=FishHooks;287601][url=http://twitter.com/#!/scott_herman]Twitter[/url] He updates like Old Faithful[/QUOTE] For the lazy: [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=12259][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/1174ec2e792222ad.jpg[/img][/url]

[QUOTE=molds13;289364]I personally think that there is something fishy going on with either Vinny and Sarah's or Wes and Mandi's elimination, but we'll just have to wait and see.[/QUOTE] Do you mean fishy in the sense that it's surprising both teams got sent home so quickly? Or fishy in another sense?

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;290161]I lost all hope for this challenge now. The usuals are in the finals again...[/QUOTE] what usuals Ty and Camilla have never been, Emily and Diem have only been in one, Ct has been in a couple and noone from those 5 have won. The only usual is Bananas

Oh yeah, Nany and Mark Long! Johnny Bananas?! Why am i not surprised. Not looking forward to seeing Mandi...again. ugh. You can also count on Adam Royer being on the next challenge. That's IF he passes that psych test! haha

I kind of like this ex's theme idea. Is it mean of me to want to see Danny and Melinda interact? Also didnt Johnny and Camila have a "thing" on Cutthroat? They would obviously be partners. Some other noteable ones...if Mark isnt on then Robin could be paired with Dan. Diem and Derrick could be partners seeing as though he hasnt hooked up with anyone else to my knowledge. CT and Mandi is an obvious one as well. Trishelle and Adam L? .....or Mike haha yeah right Ty and Emily Didnt Aneesa and Dunbar hookup?

[url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=11987][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/43904eaf619c01863.png[/img][/url] hmmm what do we think of this?

[QUOTE=molds13;285555]Just a hunch...[/QUOTE] Maybe that means more will come from that kiss from the first episode...

[QUOTE=molds13;285808]If I remember correctly...Diem, Shauvon or Mandi. I'm not sure if we can count Laurel as a hookup but I suppose she could also be an option.[/QUOTE] If those are the options I pray to all that is holy that Diem will be there. Seriously - how does Mandi keep getting asked back?

Who is this **************** guy? He/she/it is calling out Vevmo.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;286578]That wouldn't make sense. I mean they've had several people all from the same season on the same challenge before so why would they just shy away from that?[/QUOTE] They never had an entire cast on one challenge though lol At the most they had 4 of Key West on The Duel, Denver on Inferno 3, and Austin on Fresh Meat. I'm surprised they haven't invited many NOLA2 kids.

[QUOTE=erodwhtboy;286835]I can see Wes tryin to allign with CT on this one, well then try to throw CT under the bus 1st chance he gets of course. Also can see CT and Leroy maybe working together[/QUOTE] Yeah but CT is going to snap his ******* neck !

[QUOTE=jones10389;287594]I don't think it's a BOTS 3. Why would the guys keep around CT in the vote off then. He would be gone by now.[/QUOTE] I think it's Duel 3 or an individual concept moreso than I think it's a couples/hook up team concept...just don't see somebody like Mark Long wasting his time to come back to do a team concept challenge, especially one with a new format, where he would have Robin as his partner and no chance of winning anything with her. He just doesn't strike me as the kind of personality who would jump into something and be totally ambushed by what he was getting himself into. I also don't think they'd basically do a Rivals theme on back-to-back challenges either because when you get to the nitty gritty of it, that's what it would basically be this time except with co-ed teams. The Duel 1 premiered in the fall of 2006, the Duel 2 premiered in spring of 2009 I believe, and this challenge would premiere in the spring of 2012 I'd assume...so it would make sense of keeping with their past pattern of two and a half to three years between Duel seasons.

I agree with you guys about Naomi plus she's cool and all but I don't like her attitude on certain things.

Something I just noticed, but once Dunbar and Paula were out it was a guarantee that somebody who had never won a challenge will win this time. Fingers crossed for CT and Diem or Ty and Emily.

[QUOTE=r3iKo;300392]It showed a preview to their elimination, and it looked like Johnny and Mark were definitely trying. You do not have to do heavy weights to look like Mark though. I'm fairly confident he does a lot of core/ab workouts with upper body. Johnny looks like he focus solely on his arms. He should be on Jersey Shore.[/QUOTE] Its called roids lol

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;285300]hmmm what do we think of this?[/QUOTE] Callie's in a competition to win a spot as a reporter on the CW Austin or something like that. Not challenge related. Edit: Someone posted something about it in [URL="http://vevmo.com/f241/real-world-dc-callie-walker-3473/index8.html#post285235"]Callie's thread[/URL].

[QUOTE=molds13;286065]Extremely unlikely, in my opinion. If it were a Duel 3, then either Adam or Nany dropping out would not have had an effect on the other. The person would have simply been replaced by someone else. As it is, one dropped out (or was dropped by BMP) and the other, following the apparent theme they are going for this season, was also dropped as a result.[/QUOTE] Oh ok! I was unaware of that. You're right again then! OH well I'm still happy because this cast looks really good. I wouldn't mind seeing Evan or Kenny, not because I like them, but because I would want to see them loose to CT or Mark's team.

[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;286324]Who is this **************** guy? He/she/it is calling out Vevmo.[/QUOTE] Someone with a forum that we need not concern considering he has 4 extra people on his list and Jillian's supposed to be in school right now, yet he has her as confirmed.

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;286580]They never had an entire cast on one challenge though lol At the most they had 4 of Key West on The Duel, Denver on Inferno 3, and Austin on Fresh Meat. I'm surprised they haven't invited many NOLA2 kids.[/QUOTE]I think they had 5 Austin cast members on Gauntlet 3.

[QUOTE=jones10389;286763]Until we know the format I can't say who should win. I mean if it is something to be paired with your ex that puts a lot of teams at a disadvantage. Mark is screwed, Jasmine is screwed even though I have never seen her compete I'm going out on a limb and saying Leroy would be screwed.[/QUOTE] Leroy would be beyond screwed. He's said on multiple occasions how clumsy Naomi is and that she would be the worst LV2 castmate to be on a challenge.

Yeah but it's not a cowincidence that every person there has a person they have hooked up with. There has to be some angle with that

This challenge is terrible. I feel like these challenges go by so fast now. It feels like more happened in the 30 minute episodes back in the day, than in an hour episode now. Everything moves by so fast now. Overall, this challenge has sucked major ****.

[QUOTE=kmw596;300653]Alright after watching the "epic" battle between bananas and long I must say I dont think Mark let Johnny win for a piece of the money; I think he let him win so he didnt get a broken wrist. Johnny definitely had him in a bad position. Either way there was nothing epic (besides mark being in it) about that battle and I am still upset Johnny won. As for the final. I re watched the start a few times (thanks dvr) and cant really understand the rules. TJ said its a race but is it firs t to the end or a total time thing because it seems the time between the first 2 checkpoints isnt being counted. Its the time to the first check point added to the time in the water. And then in the sneak peak it was mention that they were timed eating and that was added on.[/QUOTE] I think it's a matter of who finishes first. The time during the first 'lap' was just to decide who sleeps where and probably indicates in what order they will continue on during next week's episode.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;284020]I kind of like this ex's theme idea. Is it mean of me to want to see Danny and Melinda interact? Also didnt Johnny and Camila have a "thing" on Cutthroat?

Trishelle and Adam L? .....or Mike haha yeah right Ty and Emily Didnt Aneesa and Dunbar hookup?[/QUOTE] The Johnny and Camilla thing was said by cast members but it was never shown on tv so they might not use that one. And I don't think Ty and Emily will be on this one. But I would love for CT and Diem to be on it and have Derrick and Jodi!

No Laurel No! Go away.

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;285299]How have i not seen this Thread yet?[/QUOTE] Because it just got here. It looks like Molds took a bunch of posts from The Challenge Open Thread and made them its own thread.

I cannot quite offer a scenario that makes sense, but I haven't ruled out that a paired theme does not include individual competition/winners.

[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;286324]Who is this **************** guy? He/she/it is calling out Vevmo.[/QUOTE] Just a bunch of banned (butthurt) former members who spend all their time stealing content from Vevmo and putting it on their fly by night forum. I literally had to add a small watermark to uploaded images to keep track of what they were lifting and had to block hotlinking as they were too lazy to download the actual images and instead were piggybacking off of Vevmo's bandwidth with direct image links. Overall, some pretty shady stuff - including pretending to be members and moderators from here...

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;286580]They never had an entire cast on one challenge though lol [B]At the most they had 4 of Key West on The Duel, Denver on Inferno 3, and Austin on Fresh Meat. [/B] I'm surprised they haven't invited many NOLA2 kids.[/QUOTE] Gauntlet 2 had 6 RR X-treme cast members: Danny, Kina, Ibis, Jodi, Derrick & Jillian Gauntlet 3 had 5 Key West people (Zach, Paula, Johnny, Janelle & Tyler) and 5 Austin people (Danny, Melinda, Johanna, Rachel & Nehemiah)

[QUOTE=ILoveRW;286833]Theory (if allowed): Maybe its a Duel III, but if you make it to the final with your partner you double your winnings or something along those lines. I just can't see Rachel and Mark coming back if it wasn't an individual challenge. [B]Also what if Rachels partner was actually Darrell, Annesa's Dunbar and Paula's anyone.[/B][/QUOTE] That's possible.

Maybe he came to the realization that Greek gods don't get eliminated third, so he should act like a normal human being and actually be nice to girls this time?

Alright!!!! Let the Challenge cast speculation begin. So Far we got Adam King, Mark Long, Nany, Johnny, Cara Maria, Adam Royer, and Mandi. I hope Leroy, CT, Dunbar, Knight, and the new San Diego kids are gonna be on this, we already know Zach wants to be on one.

[QUOTE=afuNk13;282478]Would be so siked if Mark did another challenge, wonder if it's a new format or old.[/QUOTE] It looks like a new one, but it could also possibly be a Duel 3.
