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

I find it hard to believe that Brooklyn doesn't finish last in a challenge at some point. On paper they're probably the least athletic team of the 5 remaining. That's the reason I think Sarah & Chet see at least 1 more elimination round. I don't see Devyn and JD throwing themselves in again. JMO--should be interesting to see how it all plays out

Brooklyn has to have won some challenges or cut some nice deals. I find it hard to believe that they escape elimination every week from now until the finals.

Is it possible St.Thomas wins the next challenge? In the trailer we see Trishelle yelling at Robb, saying "if you put me in I'd f*** you up!" Since St.Thomas partake in elimination 7-9 I only see them winning this upcoming challenge.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;323438]St. Thomas probably says "Send in Vegas" three times and then whatever happens at the end I don't know.[/QUOTE] I thought St. Thomas sent in Vegas at some point anyway. At least that is what was implied in the trailer, unless they just had some great edit.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;323343]I pray that's untrue because that's just ridiculous[/QUOTE] It is not. Besides I think this has happened once before That and a team that frequently loses towards the end automatically went in and/or home.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;323447]It is not. Besides I think this has happened once before That and a team that frequently loses towards the end automatically went in and/or home.[/QUOTE] The last place team (or last 2 teams) "going in" to an elimination round is completely acceptable (FM2, Exes, Rivals, etc). Simply all 4 being eliminated from Cancun without an elimination round doesn't make any sense. It would be completely ridiculous IMO therefore I pray it doesn't happen. I don't think a team or a player has ever been eliminated without an elimination round or a vote other than Battle of the Sexes 1 & the first Battle of the Seasons when the lowest cumulative score was sent home when the rest of the teams would have made up the "inner circle" and would only have one team/player available to vote out. Never in a season with elimination rounds has that occurred and hopefully it never does. Think how absurd it is that everyone else that finished last got to fight for their lives but a team that was one of the last four standing would just be sent home for one bad mission without getting to fight. Just ridiculous. Sorry. If that happens I bet they'll lose even more viewers moving forward.

On Rivals, Adam & CT got last and the rest of the cast voted in Tyler & Johnny. On Battle of the Exes, Johnny & Camila got last and CT & Diem sent in Mark & Robin.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;323438]St. Thomas probably says "Send in Vegas" three times and then whatever happens at the end I don't know.[/QUOTE] I don't think St. Thomas wins. The elimination round is between Vegas and New Orleans. We can probably assume that NOLA gets last and either Cancun or San Diego win again, and based on the previews of Frank and Zach picking on Alton and Dustin, I would say San Diego wins again and puts Vegas in. I feel like if St. Thomas did win any challenges this season, they would put in San Diego, based on Trey's distaste for Frank and Zach and Marie denying to bend to the alliance's will.

St. Thomas probably tells whoever wins that they want Vegas, hence how they keep going in against Vegas and not Brooklyn.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;323598]I mean as to how Brooklyn doesn't go in again.

You would think they would want Brooklyn, but since Vegas is only a two person team the alliance may have sent in Vegas because they thought Robb and Marie could take them out.

I'm thinking Cancun & SD2 just decide to go against everyone that remains

Is tonight Vegas Vs New Orleans in the Arena?

[QUOTE=kvm1977;323637]Yeah, I don't think St Thomas would "want" Vegas either.

Assuming that this isn't one of those random trailer mash ups, we should be able to infer from that that Robb/Marie come in last place and say they want Dustin/Trishelle in the arena, only to lose in the mental game.

You definitely don't want to risk going against Chet & Sarah

[QUOTE=kvm1977;323658]No, that's a valid point--in the mental elimination round they probably did want Vegas. You definitely don't want to risk going against Chet & Sarah[/QUOTE] But remember, if the elimination order is correct and there were in fact 11 elimination rounds, they should have reset at that point, indicating that they probably may have had a choice at what they wanted. If they wanted Chet and Sarah, they could have picked physical at that point. That is again of course assuming that San Diego or Cancun wins that day.

Also, that would make sense for Brooklyn because it eliminates another team and they need to get down to only 3.

Derrick's podcast interview with Trishelle & Zach confirms that Trishelle didn't participate in the last mission because she just didn't want to. She admitted it.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;323685]Derrick's podcast interview with Trishelle & Zach confirms that Trishelle didn't participate in the last mission because she just didn't want to.

Dman Trishelle, very disappointed in you if that is true. I love you still though. She needed more screen time, imo.

Zach [strike]kills[/strike] sends someone on Cancun home in Physical

Based on Devyn saying the the dude who hit on your ex kicks your ***, i would guess CJ is the other guy in the physical arena. I bet it is 2/3 and comes down to the third though. I doubt their is a "killing" performance though.

Zach is the only person I could see CJ losing to cuz dudes huge. But CJ has looked like the best competitor by far this season and cant wait to see more of him

Hey guys I've been following this site for awhile and I figured I'd join...tonights episode was wild, but seeing Alton throw his little temper tandrums definitely made me lose respect for him but I'm still Team Vegas. The last half of this season looks intense and it looks as though CJ was in the elimination round with Zach, so Brooklyn or Vegas must have been the power couple once more

I wonder if the whole log-carrying challenge is the one right before the final challenge. Frank tells Sam to get on his back and she says to get away from her, and then a few clips later Frank is yelling at someone saying "you fat ***** you lost this for us!" I'm assuming that's Sam he's referring to. So maybe San Diego doesn't win the last challenge and has to go into the final arena? (Someone please let me know if this has been discussed already)

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;323932]It is possible that CJ beats Zach twice, but Jasmine loses twice, and then Cancun loses the tiebreaker.[/QUOTE] I dont see Zach Losing in the physical elimination, knowing his size and strength. Especially since we know san diego advances. Anyone have insight on the "You got your *** beat by the guy going after your ex" ????

I doubt Zach loses twice, but if he was going to, CJ would be only guy who could most likely. All interviews/podcasts Zach does he always says when asked about if he can beat so and so, oh i have 30-40 pounds on them, so i can beat them. Size doesn't mean everything, their have been plenty of big guys who have underwhelmed us on the challenge. Zach could very well do great in 2nd half of season, he just seems to think size means everything. So far he has just been OK, nothing special, shown no leadership, etc..The physical challenges this season should pretty much all come down to CJ vs Zach as best guys based on who is casted and left. But Dustin def held his own against Zach in that wrestling challenge. More physical challenges are coming up, that will be how i will meausre him on.
