The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

[QUOTE=InfamousJoks;282792]Is she on crack or something?[/QUOTE] I'm trying to find that clip of Dustin saying that he sometimes wants to tell Nany that she's "a dumb ho" but I'm not having much luck. That would pretty much describe the situation, or at least her personality at times.

[QUOTE=TheCollegeD;285860] jemmye's response to nany's sick tweet. it seems like she isn't going against her will [B](maybe adam did fail the psych test)[/B]....[/QUOTE] Well not everyone can be sane.

[QUOTE=danw34;286353]Thank god they brought back Paula and Johnny. The two of them don't do enough of these shows, I'd like to see more of them. And I'm really glad they brought back Mandy, she's a top athlete and competitor. But what I really like about her, is that she's never a part of contrived arguments and phony drama. There are so many great competitors in this cast, the type of people who are confident in their own abilities going into elimination rounds. I don't think alliances will be a huge part of the show. Genuine competition will player a bigger role this time. It certainly looks like they've cooked up a great season.[/QUOTE] Please tell me this was all sarcasm? I am sick of seeing Paula and Johnny

[QUOTE=LaneV95;286632]That doesn't make sense to me if Adam failed a psych test to come onto this new challenge. No sense at all unless psych tests are a new thing. Because he would have had to pass two psych tests to be on Rivals/Las Vegas. Just some dumb rumor spread in this thread I think.[/QUOTE] Just a wild guess, but I assume the thing may have gone down like this: Adam and Nany were supposed to go, but then at the last minute either the insurance company or production decided to pull Adam based on something Nany said about him even if he did pass the test. Adam then gets irate with all concerned because he needed the money He then tweeted to TMZ/OK mag that they should contact him so he'd tell them the real deal about RW/Challenges (paraphrased) which I assumed would be something along the lines of: "Production was complicit in me crafting this bad boy persona which they then used against me when they were facing an unrelated lawsuit to keep me off the show. I am really a warm and fuzzy guy; a team player, etc and the whole franchise is unscripted but not 'real' because we are so heavily controlled/manipulated, but they never show that."

[QUOTE=jones10389;287367]Yeah I agree, Dustin will probaly be coming up soon. I wonder who the other girl is that went home with Nate.[/QUOTE] I'm going to guess Naomi, Cara Maria says she likes to keep quiet for a week after she comes home so who knows, hope it's not Sarah because I really wouldnt like it if it were a partner thing. Damn I remember Ev saying Vinny is the worst competitor ever and I thought she was just exaggerating since he was barely on fm2 but damn that guy cant seem to make it past episode 2 (estimate episode he left on this 1), I think he's cursed lol. Oh well maybe on his 4th show they'll let him stay till episode 3 :P I wonder who he lost to, I'll laugh if its against Dustin or Tyrie. Also I wonder if the fact that they say they want and post pics of fast food means anything, hope their not being food deprived or something like that, no Island 2!!

I'm curious to see how Paula acts now that she has a win under her belt. I hope she's more relaxed as opposed to paranoid.

Do you guys think that maybe Emily/Ty are heather/Dustin's replacement? Because Emily stopped tweeting on the 14th which was like 2 days before Dustin/Heather popped up.

How do you know they're weak? I just feel like Tyrie constantly gets the short end of the stick. I'm also sick of the new kids or "outsiders" constantly getting picked off.

[QUOTE=molds13;288934]When I get back from what?[/QUOTE] I'm assuming there has been about 3 or more couples who have gone home by now, but it will be hard to tell who and what order they went home right now even if they access their social networks.

[QUOTE=GiggidyGoo90;289193]Well from what I've heard apparently after Cutthroat Ty was scheduled to be in a underwear photo shoot, so that's why he was practically starving himself on Cutthroat which led to him not having alot of energy to do the competitions and which is why he ******* out in the Gulag vs Brandon.[/QUOTE] I know right, had he been at 100% like Brandon was, no doubt he would've beaten him. And since Ty left Rivals, he's been back to playing on a football team so it's safe to say he's in a much better shape this time around.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;289701]I have a bad feeling Mark and Robin have been eliminated.[/QUOTE] I think they're all on their way home. Didn't TJ say he'll be back in Vegas on the 7th?

[QUOTE=eggs78;290197]Why are people so worried about the boyfriend Diem does not acknowledge? Everything else in her private life (her family and friends) is on full display on facebook. I find it odd that her youngest sister is facebook friends with CT.[/QUOTE] 1. I'm not "people." 2. I'm not worried about it. I'm simply bringing information forward for the education of the presumably unknowing. 3. Diem doesn't owe you are anyone else anything about her personal life. She's obviously made a choice about him, perhaps with his specific input. 4. I'm a facebook friend of CT, too, but I don't think we're going to exchange Christmas greetings.

[QUOTE=MuchoDenaro;290473]1. An inside joke about a wallet doesn't mean anything either way who knows if its challennge related. And if it is maybe it means kennys being a wise guy like johnny has no money so he won't bring his. I don't think there's a hint at all there. Everyones looking a little too into tweets especially this soon. 2. Does anyone have confirmed prizes? Cause I think its going to be 100k, 50k. And 25k to the 3 finals teams, so who's to say they ALL don't have a little more money?[/QUOTE] I dont think they will give last place money anymore, they're cheap and probably like making last place feel like they wasted their time. On FM2 4th got nothing same with Rivals.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;286121]Well no that's not the full cast. First there is no KA this season. 2nd yes if there is a F/F pair there will be a M/M pair.[/QUOTE] Did I miss something? When was is it confirmed KellyAnne wouldn't be a part of this season? Why can't someone be updating her twitter for her? Sure, it's possible she won't be on the season, but I wouldn't take one tweet as confirmation. And in terms of a M/M pair - proof please?

[QUOTE=awalllll;286351]Has anyone imagined yet that maybe Diem and CT could get back together? I mean, he had a girlfriend during Rivals and flirted with Mandi and Laurel.[/QUOTE] Well, certainly you must have imagined it since your raise the question; however, imagination is frequently at odds with reality. Diem has had a boyfriend for the past couple of years (Think present and future tense). She keeps her personal and professional life separate, so it's just something one has to discover by knowing some cast members. **** As for potential alliances, Caria Maria and Diem attended Stagecoach together with a couple of other women. And a final thought: Put yourself in BMP's place. If you were trying to obfuscate the participation in and return from a challenge, what would you do with regard to Facebook, twitter and the lesser social media? After the past few seasons, I expect they have employees at BMP who are just as smart as people writing/reading vevmo and have designed and implemented a variety of methods of confusing people. They don't need to sew much confusion. Just a little goes a long way. Personally, I think it's a work in progress, but I'll confess some admiration at the effort.

Do you think BMP reads these boards? If so, I don't there will be an Island 2 since most people didn't like the first Island. I feel like Vinny being eliminated may have been an attempt to get rid of CT's allies. I know on Derrick's podcast, Vinny said that CT and him were going to pair up and take everyone out. I could see Mark, Wes and Johnny having some deal where they want to get rid of CT ASAP, and then when Wes loses, he's scared so he says, I'll call Vinny out since Vinny votes the same way as CT. It's like Rivals all over again when they voted for Tyrie and Davis instead of CT/Adam. I hope I'm right.

If Cara and Abe were the next team to pop up as eliminated I would be soo happy.

Hooray for Emily. Loved her on DC and Cutthroat. She is, in my opinion, the second toughest new female next to Laurel. I hope Ty and her do well because I'm sick of seeing the same faces make it to the end. I'm not so sure if CT/Diem would team up with Rachel/Aneesa. Diem and Aneesa didn't get along on the Duel 2 and I remember Rachel being adamant in having CT banned from future challenges on the reunion show. But anyway, the alliances forming is going to fun to watch because I can see a lot of side deals going on and there's no one true bond like JEK.

CT and Mark are 1 & 2 on this challenge. The next level is Wes, Johnny, Abram and maybe Leroy. I think Wes could beat Abram in a 1 on 1. I think that's a very even match up that I would like to see. Wes won the Duel and in my opinion the Duels are the hardest challenge to win especially Duel 1. So I will always rank Wes as a top challenger becuase the Duel is the hardest challenge to win.

[QUOTE=Blue123;290474]I dont think they will give last place money anymore, they're cheap and probably like making last place feel like they wasted their time. On FM2 4th got nothing same with Rivals.[/QUOTE] That's assuming we don't have something similar to FM1 here where because another team was sent home outside of an elimination round, they decreased the amount of teams in the finals and 3rd place always got money, it's just that 3rd place is now last place when 4th place was last place.

[QUOTE=lulax3;282533] btw Molds base on the rumor challenge format you have heard ; does the psychological test have anything to do with the format or its a new requirement to be on the show? Do you have an idea of when are they leaving? Do you know if any one from RW:San Diego got an a availability call? At first I though Priscilla got an a availability call since she drop out from school this semester and she was going to LA to take some tests and stuff base on her tweets, [B]but I think the challenge will interfered with filming the reunion.[/B][/QUOTE] I highly doubt it. Think about if our assumptions are correct that it will be filmed during November, then it will be over about halfway through the Real World Season which might end sometime during January, which will be around the time they film the reunion.

Emily tweeted 3 weeks ago that she is snowboarding this weekend at Keystone with Laurel. Unless plans changed, which they could have, probably safe to consider them not on the show.

For everyone thinking this is a pairs challenge, or teams. Mark said on the Duel 2 reunion that he would only return for an individual challenge. So if Mark's there then it's pretty safe to say it's an individual challenge. Mark doesn't like drama, so there's no way he signed on to partner with an ex.

LeeRoy has updated his twitter account; I hope he didn’t get eliminated already. Hopefully it’s someone else updating for him.

[QUOTE=Blue123;287402]I'm going to guess Naomi, Cara Maria says she likes to keep quiet for a week after she comes home so who knows, hope it's not Sarah because I really wouldnt like it if it were a partner thing.

[QUOTE=molds13;287912]jones, what would be your order of preference for people winning?[/QUOTE] No molds that is not my perference if that's what you are implying. I want Mark&Robin to win.

[QUOTE=jesses_girl;288425]If they did good or won, wouldn't that make them a strong team though? lol[/QUOTE] Uhm Wes and Casey did good and they were weak, Rachel and Johanna won and are weak, Carley is widely considered weak by posters, and some people think Paula is weak. Ibis is a weak competitor, Katie is a weak competitor. So to answer your question, NO, winning or doing good does NOT make someone a strong competitor.lol

[QUOTE=eggs78;289706]I think they're all on their way home. Didn't TJ say he'll be back in Vegas on the 7th?[/QUOTE] In the Real World SD reunion thread Molds said that filming for this challenge was running through December 10th.

[QUOTE=Blue123;290474]I dont think they will give last place money anymore, they're cheap and probably like making last place feel like they wasted their time. On FM2 4th got nothing same with Rivals.[/QUOTE] Rivals had a 6 team final so that's understandable, 4 places were paid though and wasn't the prize money a lot? I don't remember exactly but I think it was 300k, not to mention the money for each challenge. All 3 teams being paid wouldn't be a stretch.

If it's a couple concept even though I think Melinda is boring, I would like to see Melinda and Danny. Also, I would like to see Jemmye and Knight. Emily and Ty would be interesting. Laurel or Diem and CT. Casey and Johnny would be a hilarious one lol. Poor Casey, I can picture Johnny freaking out on her. If it's that concept I doubt they are going to use Camila for him sine they didn't hook up on camera.

I'd be upset too if I spent a lot of time rearranging my life for one of these and got booted at the last minute. I'm still keeping Adam on my maybe list.

Derrick just did a podcast with Zach, Laurel, and Ruthie so they're all out.

I hope I'm right.[/QUOTE] If it's teams then I dont think they want CT gone, I think they got rid of Vinny because he sucks and maybe he dragged their team down. Priscilla and Nate dont seem to athletic either. And I think you're referring to rivals not ruins. And I think BMP or MTV or whoever is in charge on giving tickets to the reunions does read message boards because people said they couldnt get tickets because they announced in the past that they got tickets on vevmo.

[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;288426]How do you know they're weak? I just feel like Tyrie constantly gets the short end of the stick. I'm also sick of the new kids or "outsiders" constantly getting picked off.[/QUOTE] Well Jasmine has the stature of a 12 year old. Tyrie has never gotten the short end of the stick on past challenges, he has just flat out lost 3 of his past challenges and quit 1. He has the stature that should be a strong competitor but he isnt.

[QUOTE=molds13;288934]When I get back from what?[/QUOTE] From partying until all hours and generally laying waste to a certain upper Midwestern state, of course...

[QUOTE=Blue123;290474]I dont think they will give last place money anymore, they're cheap and probably like making last place feel like they wasted their time. On FM2 4th got nothing same with Rivals.[/QUOTE] Well historically pairs challenges don't award money for a fourth place finish, and usually the only challenges that do award money despite losing the final challenge are challenges with cumulative banks (Gauntlet, Inferno, Cut Throat, Ruins). The only outlier I could think would be the Duel 2 which gave 2nd and 3rd place finishes some money, which was a radical shift from the first Duel's all or nothing approach. Though as Nightwolf pointed out, there is always the possibility that this challenge was meant to have a four teams final but due to the possibility of either a DQ (Wes/Vinny elimination proximity) or an injury (Dustin Zito situation) the final four was reduced to a final three with all teams finishing with some money (such as the case with the first Fresh Meat). Unrelated though, but Looking over Heather's tweet of "Everything happens for a reason, at least that's what I'm telling myself! Grrr" makes me assume that Dustin was most likely injured outside of an elimination round, and forced them off. Dustin getting injured during an elimination round would come off as redundant to their pairing being eliminated, and wouldn't warrant that sort of tweet. Either that or the initial injury was exacerbated during an elimination round where it directly impacted his ability to compete. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

[QUOTE=BillyBear231;282540]I highly doubt it.[B] Think about if our assumptions are correct that it will be filmed during November[/B], then it will be over about halfway through the Real World Season which might end sometime during January, which will be around the time they film the reunion.[/QUOTE] I think Molds said somewhere that filming would likely begin sometime in late October.

It's not a challenge without Bananas. Glad he's likely in the cast pool.

I know he is on the probably list but I would just add that Dustin appears to have linked his twitter with either a robo-tweet company or set somebody up with it to tweet things that mostly are promotions.

[QUOTE=CzarEric;286123] And in terms of a M/M pair - proof please?[/QUOTE] Shane and Ryan could be on it.

[QUOTE=bumizitch;286380]For everyone thinking this is a pairs challenge, or teams. Mark said on the Duel 2 reunion that he would only return for an individual challenge. So if Mark's there then it's pretty safe to say it's an individual challenge. Mark doesn't like drama, so there's no way he signed on to partner with an ex.[/QUOTE] I don't think the cast knows the format until they arrive on the challenge. I hope this is an individual challenge or a challenge where the same people can't get put up for elimination over and over. I see Rachel as the strongest female. I'm glad Diem is back, I thought she wouldn't return.

Mark might be working with CT... Mark is old school and what old school competitors do in the challenges is team up with the strongest players and get red of all the weaker and new people. I personally believe that this is the Duel 3, but then on the other hand i think it could be something new and maybe Vinny got thrown in because he DQ'd in a challenge.

Molds, do you think there are in fact still two unknown pairs, or are you leaning towards there only being 12? I know you have the unknown pictures still up but I'm just curious where your head is at and if you have any ideas as to who they could be.

[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;288426]How do you know they're weak? I just feel like Tyrie constantly gets the short end of the stick. I'm also sick of the new kids or "outsiders" constantly getting picked off.[/QUOTE] So i guess we might as well put Ty and Emily down as the next pair to be sent home :( I really want Paula and Dunbar gone more so than Johnny. I actually don't mind him, i think he's funny lol

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;289708]In the Real World SD reunion thread Molds said that filming for this challenge was running through December 10th.[/QUOTE] Maybe it was able to be cut short a few days due to the injury to Dustin Zito?

[QUOTE=lulax3;282267]So idk maybe its to early to speculate and maybe I am reading it way too much into it. But for some reason I think Priscilla got a availability call or something. She is not in school anymore, she is starting in January again and she is taking some kind of test this week. [/QUOTE] Omg yay for Priscilla

Heres some more speculation, Tori wrote "good luck, I know you'll do great" or something like that on Cara Maria's fb wall.
