The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

All valid points are presented here. I think everyone will be interested in seeing how everything pans out on the show as CT and Diem's relationship (or lack there of) could go in two very different directions. I'm not expecting a big reconciliation, but I would like to see them get it together and pull out a win. It would be a shame for such a powerhouse of a team (personal opinion, not fact) to lose this challenge in the finals. This is also one of the few teams who had a long term relationship outside of the show. BMP obviously had to work with what they had, but a team like this is more interesting to me than a team of two people who hooked up once or twice when they were drunk.

Good trailer, looks like a good challenge thus far. I agree with the person who said there was a good mix of older and newer cast members. I'm just curious as to who the person is in the red? t-shirt screaming( I think) when they land into the water.

I think that it's okay for Aneesa and Rachel to be competing against M/F teams because I think people are just underestimating how athletic Rachel really is.

Since there is no land under the north pole and the preview has them on what appeared to me to be a snow covered mountain ridge, I am assuming that was possibly filmed somewhere in the Andes.

We see Sarah crying at the :47 mark in the trailer.

So now that all this information is out, I'm curious about the Nate/Priscilla pairing. In the half-way preview for San Diego, they show Priscilla apparently wanting to hook up with Nate, but if I'm not mistaken, they didn't even show this during any of the actual episodes. Are they gonna make these two a couple based on that kiss in the first episode, or will they pull this out of their *****? Also, were Zach/Ashley not asked or did they decline since they'd probably make a WAY better pairing in terms of couples and competing, though I guess they're not "exes."

Looks like as I expected, Abram will be mean and difficult to Cara Maria. "You don't even come close to deserving me, now beat it!" Wow. Johnny and Camilla looked comfortable around each other. From twitter posts following Rivals, I thought they were beefing. But Johnny is smart enough to put that aside if it means doing well. They will be a strong team, I think.

Is it just me, or was Rachel not in the trailer?

It looks much too cold to be the Andes. The Final Challenge was filmed in December meaning that it would be Summer in the Southern Hemisphere (where most of the Andes are).

I'm rooting for Johnny and Camilia. Johnny's been my favorite since I saw him on Key West so I do hope they do win but at the same time Diem really deserves a win and so does CT. I didn't see much of Johnny in the trailer? That's a suprise haha

Did they show a separate trailer at the reunion?

Yeah they aired a new teaser during the reunion but I don't know how much new stuff was shown.

From the trailer they just showed, Wes vs Leroy looks very intense, kinda looks like Pole Wrestle between Wes and Derrick.

Was it only shown at the end of the reunion? if so i'll watch the end of the repeat in half hour and see if they show it again.

I see Nate/Priscilla in a elimination with Wes/Mandi, and I see Wes/Mandi in another with Leroy/Naomi.

I for 1 am very excited as to how the elimination process will go down.

Straight from MTV.com. Some of them have dated. Some of them were in long-term relationships. Some of them have just hooked up. But they've gone their separate ways...until now. What happens when former lovers are reunited? That is the terrifying question that twenty-six competitors will be asking themselves this season during the most intense Challenge yet, Battle Of The Exes. Set against the exotic backdrop of the Dominican Republic, each former lover will be partnered with their ex -- as their one and only teammate for the entire game. In order to claim their share of a massive $300,000 prize, these brokenhearted exes must find a way to make their failed relationships succeed -- or at least until they cross the finish line. However, not every pair of exes will make it to the Finals to compete for a cut of the cash. Teams will do whatever it takes to avoid being sent into "The Dome" - a physically and mentally demanding elimination round. Here's how it works: after each challenge, the team that performs the worst will automatically be sent into the dreaded "Dome." And the team that performs the best will become the Power Couple. The Power Couple will be safe from elimination and have the unprecedented advantage of casting the one and only vote for a team to face off against the worst in "The Dome." No more alliances. No more bandwagon votes. The two unlucky teams will battle it out in "The Dome" for survival. The winners will remain in the game. The losers will be eliminated. Along the way, the past will come back to haunt these former couples. Some exes will struggle to deal with painful grudges and broken hearts that have never been mended. And, for some, old feelings of love will be reignited. The stakes have never been this high, emotions have never been this raw, and the competition has never been this fierce, as these ex-lovers put their hearts on the line and battle for their share of the winnings. In the end, the teams that make it to the Finals will be sent to a shocking location 4,000 miles away where they will compete in one of the most epic finales in Challenge history -- and only one pair of former lovers will be crowned champions of Battle Of The Exes.

That explains how Wes goes in so early (and possibly often). If I had to guess, I'd say CT and Diem took out Mark and Robin, but who knows about that one. With Emily/Ty facing Abram/Cara Maria, I don't have a clue how that match up could come about unless CT wins that day and puts the last 2 in.
