The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons - Discussion (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=inferno;309184]I just can't believe they got Lacey![/QUOTE] Me too!! I remember watching RW Austin and thinking now how many of these guys will do a challenge? I bet everyone besides for the awkward hair dresser girl, but it would be interesting to see her on it, lol I remember she was wierded out by dirty dancing, one night stands and people drinking heavily, they should have had her on FM 1 lol. Too bad shes gone already even though I didnt think she would be all that athletic. I hope she was paired with Wes so Danny and Melinda could be paired up together.

Perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to assume that duo's are 100%, with Marie & Robb now out, along with Laura and Trey not too much before them, perhaps they are going out in 4's. All of Austin was spotted out first. Now all of FM is out as well. I think we really need to watch out for Knight/McKenzie, because Jemmye/Preston are out. They could be as well?

But I may just be blinding myself because they're my favorite pair. I guess there is still that possibility that there are other players that have been eliminated but it just hasn't come to light yet.

[QUOTE=gamer73;309183]I would like to see Jonna/CJ, Trishelle/Alton, McKenzie/Knight, and Dustin/Nany in the final 4.[/QUOTE] I like that.

One can logically conclude from her decision to remove the numbering that she is working with some evidence to have indicated the change was necessary. Taken in the aggregate, however, I think it is clear that there is some team power / alliance at play which allowed everyone in two seasons (teams) to be targeted and sent home, most likely back-to-back. If so, then NOLA will be completely gone soon. Who is next on the chopping block? Brooklyn? Vegas? Cancun? San Diego?

Bummer about Robb and Marie. If it turns out to be pairs that was the remaining team I was rooting for! So San Diego, Cancun, Las Vegas, Brooklyn and Knight/McKenzie. Hmmm I don't want Frank, JD, or Jasmine to win, and I'm unsure on Nany and Trishelle. If it's teams of 4 I want Las Vegas or San Diego to win, if it's pairs I like Knight/McKenzie and CJ/Jonna, then Zach/Ashley. Can't lie, I'm totally surprised about Brooklyn still being in it this far, but I'm happy for Sarah!

Just wondering. Wasnt it mentioned previously that BMP could give St Thomas internet since their season is approaching? Obviously seeing two of the members on a plane is pretty obvious that they're out of the competition but how can we be so sure adding friends on facebook or twitter qualifies someone as being home. Maybe the cast is just allowed to use the internet at alotted times.

I hope Knight and Mckenzie are still there. I just really hope Cancun, Frank and Dustin do NOT win.

For those who worried that the challenge social media ban was going to impact the St Thomas RW cast, I told you that you needn't worry. Here's the proof: [CENTER][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/1174fe8f732e1c2b.jpg[/img][/CENTER]

[/QUOTE] I don't think it was so much the ban as it was the St. Thomas cast possibly still being out of the country during the premiere that people were confused about. But if they're eliminated, it doesn't surprise me that they'd be allowed to tweet about the season.

She could have sent the same tweet from Turkey, if MTV wanted cast activity on twitter. BMP does give them a phone to use to call home during the challenge. It's not like a phone isn't available when needed for any purpose with which production agrees.

I am going to go with those who think they may be going home in 4s and Knight/McKenzie are already home - it would just be odd considering all of the eliminated contestants have the rest of their season-mates gone. Hope I am wrong though.

So as far as we know now there's 4 teams of 4 & NO2 only has one couple (Mckenzie & Knight). I have this weird feeling it's Las Vegas & Brooklyn that could possibly go the distance. I only see Zach as a significant asset for SD2, buy I could obviously be wrong. Hopefully Devyn is kicking butt!

With a whole bunch of teams gone, and in fours, an elimination round could feature two rounds, featuring both pairs - it's just chosen strategically who teams with who for the best outcome. Whoever loses their round goes home. Just a thought.

But if they're eliminated, it doesn't surprise me that they'd be allowed to tweet about the season.[/QUOTE] It is all academic now, but they could have just used the remaining cast members by putting them on blast, had other people tweet for them, or have friendly, trusted reporters have already done stories about them to be released this week to make their absence less noticeable. Likewise they could have had them tweet a link and then a "damn my twitter has been hacked" tweet as cover. Not everyone rushes to twitter with a new season anyway. It usually takes 5-6 weeks in before they really start building a big following.

Eh I believe they are going home in fours now. Maybe the challenge will finish filming quickly. Or they travel somewhere far for the final and take a long break.

Honestly I feel like, the challenge is team of 4 persons, not pairs.

So right now 4 teams of 4 are left Las Vegas, Cancun, Brooklyn, and San Diego I gotta say I'm suprised that this is the final 4 I would of bet money that the final 4 would of been St. Thomas, Fresh Meat, San Diego, and Cancun. So I guess it's safe to say we have a 75% probability that another gay guy will win a challenge with JD on Brooklyn, Derek on Cancun, and Frank on San Diego which is kinda cool because to my knowledge only 2 openly gay men have won a challenge that being Dan and Tyler. The next few days is going to be interesting who's going home next if Cancun or San Diego don't pop up anytime I think one of those 2 teams win it this season I gotta feeling about those 2 even though I can see Las Vegas winning it but we don't know what Trishelle, Nany, and Dustin can really do and for Brooklyn I'm shocked they're still in the game. I'm betting on Cancun winning it all 4 have challenge experience and I can see them working well in the finals if they get there.

Looks like the social media ban was lifted for the St. Thomas cast.

[QUOTE=johan86;309230]Honestly i feel like, the challenge its team of 4 persons, not pairs.[/QUOTE] That would be a huge risk since a fight would send 25% of your cast pool home unless: 1) they changed the rules that a person hit can hit back without going home or 2) they are switching to more internet friendly half-hour episodes to mitigate the loss of episodes if 25% of their cast went home. I don't rule out #2 since there will be an apparent huge gap before the next RW films and airs, but I am still not certain about it being quads without more concrete evidence that they are all returning as a team at the same time.

[QUOTE=DomDom7;309163]That's funny, if it is a pairs challenge those are the 4 I'd be rooting for! But I'd also add in CJ/Jonna (I really hope it would be those two together!). I wonder if Ashley would try to retaliate and hookup with someone as well? I'm so excited to see what she does now that she and Zach are broken up,[B] I just hope she doesn't try to get him back[/B]. I am one of the few who liked her it seems, but I'll admit it was annoying when she tried to be something he would like. If she did though, who do you think it would be with?[/QUOTE] I will put my money that Ashley will try to hook up with Zach in this challenge.

[QUOTE=rachel_28;309242]I have a feeling that other teams are keeping them around because they might be and easy team to beat if they take them to the final challenge.[/QUOTE] or maybe there is a secret gay team alliance and JD and Frank are hooking up to stay in the game (ickest gay couple possible but conceivable.) Those people don't seem to have a lot of twitter traffic directed at them except maybe Chet, so it could also be possible that they are just being harder to find.

[QUOTE=rachel_28;309244]I will put my money that Ashley will try to hook up with Zach in this challenge.[/QUOTE] It wouldn't surprise me, but I really hope that this doesn't happen! [QUOTE=FishHooks;309247]or maybe there is a secret gay team alliance and JD and Frank are hooking up to stay in the game[/QUOTE] hahaha I can see them doing this, but as for whether or not it would work all depends on the format.

[QUOTE=DomDom7;309251][B]It wouldn't surprise me, but I really hope that this doesn't happen![/B] hahaha I can see them doing this, but as for whether or not it would work all depends on the format.[/QUOTE] I really hope that dosen't happen either. I know Zach from college, and I have met her couple of times when she came to Michigan to visit him. She is one of those girls who dosen't like her man talking or paying attention to other girls. They havent broken up for too long, I am interested to see how she reacts to Zach flirting with other girls or other girls flirting with Zach!

But I also can't wait to see how she reacts to that! I watch this show for the physical aspect but a little drama is always entertaining. Was it a bad break up?

I'm hoping that Robb and Marie arent actually eliminated, I think I'm really going to like them. But it would make sense for them to have internet access to promote for tomorrow. Plus Trey and Laura are tweeting and Robb and Marie aren't which seems weird if they were all eliminated.

Maybe fighting will break out between Turkey and Syria this week so they can say this was the season that survived an earthquake and a war :heat:

I like them a lot, and they are the pair I wanted to win (if it's pairs). And I think there is a chance they still are there...Trey was spotted on that plane on June 23rd, both he and Laura started tweeting again on the 25th, while Marie and Robb have still been silent. I feel if it were teams of 4 they would also be tweeting for the premiere.
