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

[QUOTE=Buck05;321521]I might be the only one...but I'm enjoying this challenge.[/QUOTE] You're not. :)

It's a million times better than Exes that's for sure, and apparently it's only going to get better.

I saw afterbuzz tv earlier and Mark Long was a guest host for this past BOTS episode and he made a good point that he thinks it's time for these new faces to take control of the Challenge and he believes BMP is setting up a Veterans vs Rookies (not a Gautlet 4 hopefully) next challenge which would be epic if certain players come out of retirement or just come back.

Glad he's pro-rookies and not anti-rookie. He's not caught up in the fame and characters like Evan and Johnny and their fans who only watch just to see them and "boycott" the season when they're not. That's not going to help the show at all. If people really want to see their faves again they either have to watch and give these kids a chance or they won't see their favorites again because the show will get canceled.

[QUOTE=molds13;321507]. DC was once a strong possibility, but were shelved for the Vegas team. And Andrew was not on the list for that team. [/QUOTE] Why not? Panda's been my favorite cast member they've had in years and he'd be awesome on the Challenge. There's nothing like the creepy kid in the animal hat mentally undressing all of the women and occasionally implying people are creating drama for face time. Did he too blatantly break the 4th wall on his season? [QUOTE=molds13;321507].I've heard from multiple sources that the food was terrible. The cast was bribed with McDonalds and free drinks one night so that they would have fun at the bar.[/QUOTE] I loved Turkish food but I'm definitely not surprised. Knowing how Turkey works, it was probably their drivers' wives. The husbands would likely drive it out and re-heat whatever it was.

In terms of the food I think they are overreacting because they never tasted the food before much less wouldn't be out of the country had it not be for the series.

[QUOTE=CzarEric;321523]You're not. :)[/QUOTE] I love it!! You are not alone at all :D

I guess since there were three guys rumored, one of them was the alternate.

According to DirecTV guide, Aftershow tomorrow night from 11:00-11:30. Hosted by Jonny Mosely, with Devyn, Eric, Nany & Knight.

This should be pretty interesting seeing how the events of tomorrows episode will play out. I miss when Jonny Mosely hosted the challenges :(

Sounds like a boring aftershow.

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;321665]Sounds like a boring aftershow.[/QUOTE] I find Devyn very entertaining, so at least she's there! Eric is there because he's being sent home this episode and to talk about his and Devyn's relationship. Knight and Nany are most likely there to explain the laundry in the pool situation.

Anyone know when they are likely to start filming the next challenge?

It hasn't been renewed yet. Or if it will even be renewed....

[QUOTE=suz84;321686]It hasn't been renewed yet. Or if it will even be renewed....[/QUOTE] oh wow really? I hope it gets renewed! When does that information come out?

Oh wow, Jonny's back!

Is it just me or do these games seem so much easier to manipulate with an alliance. Or is this alliance just better planned and followed?

Everyone should go listen to Derrick's latest podcast with Chet, Eric and Knight. It is a good one and gave a lot of insight on the game. Chet is probably one of my favorites and said many good points on the podcast. It sounds like from this season everyone made a lot of enemies and there was a lot of hate. Frank is way too emotional and I still stand by what I said, Zach and Frank are bullies and they can't justify it. Even Knight isn't completely backing them up.

This explains why she is cursing at someone in the new commercial [url=http://www.theinsider.com/tv/56383_The_Challenge_Battle_of_the_Seasons_Exclusive_Clip_October_17/index.html]'The Challenge' Goes Vertical! | TheInsider.com[/url]

I lose more respect for Easy as a competitor every time I see him.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;322457]Wow, Camila really was being calm and rational there I lose more respect for Easy as a competitor every time I see him[/QUOTE] I just saw a commercial for tomorrow where she is going HAM on someone during/after the competition and everyone is like 0_O I'm guessing it's him. E needs to just stop.

I've typically been indifferent to Easy and I'm definitely not a Camila fan but this is ridiculous. I hope TJ gives him **** even though he's a TJ favorite.

Even in the heat of competition, JD is silent. Lol.
