[quote=xvioletwavesx;33806]Davis and CT on a challenge together again???
Ooh, and CT and Dunbar on the same challenge should be interesting, too, hah. They're too much alike.
I can't wait to see the final list.[/quote]
Me too. I mean we already know there is at least 1 more girl that should be on here. As of now, this cast has been the most shocking since well, The Gauntlet 3 having Beth, Coral, and Katie all on one.
[QUOTE=Moonpaw;33805]"Seems" being the operative word there. I thought so too for awhile, and then I realized she was sweet because a lot of people were nice to her about the whole cancer thing, but if she ever gets called out she turns into a right *****. [B]She threw a hissyfit the ONE time she went into exile on FM and the ONE time she went into a duel[/B]. I don't actively dislike her, but as with Coral, I can't really decide one way or another about her.[/QUOTE]
This is what completely changed my mind about her!
[quote=needsalife;33794]
I am interested to see how it is with Brad and Tori now that they are engaged. Planning a wedding is hard enough, but being in fishbowl competing would be really hard.
[/quote]
I don't see Brad and Tori doing to well on this challenge. Melinda and Danny walked on to Fresh Meat as a couple and were the first two to go home along with their Fresh Meat partners. Brad and Tori will probably be targeted if the format is the same as the previous Duel. We'll see though...

Really? There are two picks of mine to go very far in the game. Both of them have plenty of friends, and both of them are extremely tough and competitive. Brad made it to the end of the first Duel so, I think this will become a touchy subject, but I see drama coming from the fact that there is now somebody Brad will pick over Robin.
[quote=Dartagnan;33801]I never understood this Tori hatred. Diem I am not too exctied about. She is just there in a way. But maybe with this break up from CT she will be somewhat interesting.[/quote]
I can't even put my finger on it.. but something about Tori has always irked me. I want to say that I just don't like her personality, but I would be hard pressed to find an example of why. Maybe it was just the fact that other cast members who completely annoyed me (*cough*KrazyKina*cough*) were always hyper-preferential toward Tori. Eh.
I will be interested to see whether Diem hooks up with another knight in shining armor on this challenge or if she finally puts her all into being a strong competitor in her own right.
other random thoughts:
Every time I think of Shauvon competing in a challenge, the first image in my mind is always of some terrible implant-related mishap (e.g. the inability to properly maneuver during a water competition due to ultra-buoyancy, or a terrible pop/deflation during an especially vigorous Duel).
Super excited to see that Isaac is on the list. Hopefully he won't go home too soon and will provide us with many moments of his off-kilter brand of humor & blunt assessments of the other cast members.
I have high hopes for Kim. I get the feeling that her edit on Hollywood just made her look as dumb, useless and 2-dimensional as possible, so I'm hoping more of her personality shines through on this challenge (and that I'll like it!)
Paula.... wwwhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? :(
Katie... Maybe we should think now about creating a special thread each week for GW so that he will have a dedicated place to unload all his ardor every episode ;). Bacchus, you might have to think about upgrading the server to handle the load
I agree with cystic about Dunbar: "NOT kay" haha
I wonder if Aneesa & Robin still have non-fuzzy type feelings for one another.
Mark? o_O
yay, nick!
eh, I can't muster up an opinion about the rest.

haha, is it terrible of me to hope that these two do not get along?

The relationship between Dan and Robin looks like it is going to blow up on the next episode of The Island but if they remain friends a possible alliance on The Duel II could be Dan, Robin, Brad, and Tori.

I can't really see Tori (who I always think of as sort of prim and proper) getting along too well with Robin (who I always think of as, well, drunk and oblivious).

Agreed. But I don't see them clashing over different personalities, although it is honestly possible with these polar opposites. I see a fight over jealousy from Robin, because her being so paranoid works against her. And now Brad will pick Tori over Robin, something I don't see Robin being able to grasp.
Does anyone else but me see Katie and Aneesa doing really well? (Yes, GW I know you do. :)
[quote=Brittaney05;33799]Oh wow im really excited about the guys list..especially Brad & Issac but im definitely NOT excited to see Tori & Diem or Shavoun on this one![/quote]
I feel the same way! I really like Brad and I was very surprised about his relationship and now engagement to Tori. I don't really hate Tori, there is just something about her, I really don't know how to explain it. And Diem, she comes across really fake to me...I am also happy to see Katie, Rachel, Brooke, Aneessa back...Not to excited about Paula, Evan and Dumbar (and hopefully Kenny and Johnny are really out of this one).
This is like my second post hehe...I started reading this forum recently, very good topics and posts :) :good:

I defintely think both will do well, aneesa recently has had a good run on challenges, and katie can do good as well

I mean we have a pretty stacked group of girls.
Rachel- I have a feeling she will dominate. I said that about the Island, but this time there may not be a vote so she wil do good.
Paula- Sadly she is a good competitor, but she won't do good this time around.
Tori- Great competitor who is also smart.
Katie- Smart girl, who has proven herself in these situations.
Robin- Not as weak as most think, but not the best.
Diem- Strong and athletic girl. Lets stuff get to her though.
Aneesa- Proven to be a good individual competitor.
Jenn- Also a proven girl competitor.
Brooke- Not the best competitor.
Shauvon- Haven't seen what she can do, but I don't expect much.
Kim- I don't think she will be great, but I don't think she will be bad.

I think that might be an understatement... :p
[quote=cystic;33837]Mark, Landon, and CT are beasts. Honestly, the rest of the guys should just pack up and leave. xD[/quote]
Honestly whether you like him or not, CT is a competitor and he does very well in these challenges when he isn't hitting someone in the face. Landon and Mark...I'm glad to see them again and it'll be interesting to see them in the limelight after being absent. Landon definitely proved himself in previous challenge and Mark has pretty much last to the end in most challenges. But there are people like Brad who are definitely strong so it isn't a total walk for any of them. Now we all know that I'm pulling for Miss Doyle and I honestly hope she isn't targeted as "weak" and certain people try to push her out before her time...I wanna see her get to the end and win if this is indeed her last challenge. Rachel is another I want to make it and hopefully she will. NICK...ah man I definitely am looking forward to seeing him and Issac in a challenge environment. Issac will be crazy and I think he will do well if he plays his cards right by not falling under the "new guys gotta go" trend.
Yeah I agree, Brad is one of those genuinely rare competitors with a heart(especially on the guy's side). I wish him and Tori the best of luck as well.

i have a feeling that davis will do really well. I havent been much of a CT fan before, but i think he'd probably be cool on this one with the recent passing of his brother. CT would kill Dumbar in a duel! lol

I agree Moonpaw. You can just sense the underlying [strike]*****[/strike] angst in Diem. Not to mention she always seems to give a stomach turning "WHY ME!" speech that is just pathetic. Almost like she should just be immune from criticism or elimination.
As for Tori, I might give her a shot this time around because I have serious respect for Brad and am hoping his mellow ways have possibly rubbed off on her - although I am not getting my hopes up. The uneven way she went about her selection methodology in [I]The Gauntlet 3[/I] (Jillian...um Jillian? Give me a J - I - L - L -I - A - N!) re-enforced my [strike]negative[/strike] opinion of her.
[B]BTW:[/B] I have gotten a few PM's speculating that the Duel format would not work with 30 people as there were only 20 last time.
If the cast does end up filling to 30 (15 men and 15 women) that could mean 12 - 1 hour episodes - where one person from each gender was eliminated, leaving 3 men and 3 woman for the finale (which would be a good guess as to the episode order which MTV put in with BMP.)
Seems like reasonable math to me, although I want to be clear in saying that all the casting spoilers in this thread are based on the best information available at the time - which means they may or may not prove true. We are always adjusting dynamically as the situational information is updated.
Brad has major respect points from me as well and he has only gone up in my view during his time on the challenges. Tori...well I have not been her biggest fan but hey I'm willing to give nearly anyone a chance so hey who knows.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;33864]Hmm, well that causes some consternation.[/QUOTE]
It totally left me without a single coherent response. It has to be wrong info or the design really is different. I'm not going to waste time on it because it's just pointless effort for now.
New Cast Addition:
[SIZE="4"][B]
Derek McCray -- Road Rules: Viewer's Revenge[/B][/SIZE]
Paula left him the following myspace message on October 8
[I][B]"Hello stranger....Is my D-Rock ready fro some more WALNUTS!!!!!! you better be xoxoxox"[/B][/I]
My sources tell me that the two have not spoken since the hooked up on The Gauntlet. Until you consider that it is Paula, you might wonder why someone would send such an easily understood public comment.
Okay my opinion, like it matters, but you are going to get it anyway. If CT can keep his cool he will dominate. And of course we all know he's my favorite especially since Tori took Brad. And you all keep forgetting about Evan, I know he is not well liked, but he's a strong competitor and when you have a Evan, CT, and a Brad you can't stop them and if they were to join forces with say a Dunbar, Landon or an Isaac it could get very interesting.
[quote=Insider;33884]How many guys does that give us now?
I'm mobile and too lazy to look back through the thread. LOL[/quote]
That makes 13 guys and 11 girls.

I think CT is going to do well this time, I don't think he's going to go picking fights.
