[QUOTE=Edwin;329173]Great, so the host just sits down and lets Frank & Zach dominate the entire reunion, letting them talk over everyone, and constantly mention how great they are while also mentioning how horrible Sam, Dustin, etc. are. Sounds like fun.[/QUOTE] Yeah and I don't like the idea of Jonny Mosley as host. He's always been boring and bland hosting on the challenge and he will make everything boring and bland on the reunion. Maria Meneunos is much better at bringing out the drama from the castmembers!

Why did Devyn and Eric break up?
[QUOTE=Kajun;329193]Why did Devyn and Eric break up?[/QUOTE] Devyn already addressed this in a video she posted up titled "10 Questions Devyn Gets Asked The Most".
So San Diego voted three to one to throw in St. Thomas. That means Ashley voted to throw them in and Frank did try to go against his team, interesting. Sam responded to a fan on her twitter saying that she wished she stood up for herself at the reunion but apparently she was not allowed to.

[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;329201]Not allowed? Seems a bit odd.[/QUOTE] Perhaps she meant "not allowed" because Frank and Zach would just talk over her.

No regrets, apparently. ~~ As for the "yoyo" ratings, the past three episodes are some of the most unusual ratings differences I've seen in any season in memory. My suspicion is that the dominance of San Diego in the edited story line simply was not appealing to viewers. SD certainly has not been interesting to me, and neither has the perennial "You killed it" from TJ. Can't we find some other description or colorful figure of speech, or is his lexicon that limited? I don't have any perspective on SD failure with viewers since I didn't watch that season (my only other not viewed season other than Cancun). If anyone from BMP would like to message me privately with some inside thinking as to what has happened with the ratings this season, I'd be very interested in that perspective. I'm at a loss.

He was different from past hosts in that he didn't seem like a boring robot like the others and is more down-to-earth, but I wouldn't be surprised if his vocabulary really is that limited.

Frank's the kind of guy who's so trashy and annoying that you want to change the channel, not keep watching to see what he'll do next. As much as I want to see some of the newbies get destroyed in a Veterans vs. Rookies season, having those rookies on again may not be such a good idea.

Production is in a **** situation regardless of how they cast the next challenge because they cannot please everyone. If they go back to what they did before this challenge by casting Paula, Johnny, Cara Maria, Dunbar, Sarah, Kenny, etc., pretty much all the people everyone was complaining about of being on challenge after challenge, or they can continue what they are doing by casting these stupid rookies like Frank, Zach, Ashley, Jemmye, Knight, Jonna, Derek, etc. who in my opinion are annoying and I would love nothing more than to see them get smoked on a challenge. Honestly, everyone on the challenge thinking Zach is the next CT, if he couldn't even hold his own in a physical elimination round against CJ (not taking anything away from CJ) then he get absolutely obliterated by the likes of Evan, CT, Landon, and Kenny.

Almost every big name vet (minus maybe Brad, Landon and Darrell) was on one of those two seasons, but at the same time they had a nice handful of rookies all of whom had their moments to endear themselves to the viewers minus Nate and Priscilla. I think so many people were "Team Dustin" because he came off so likably on Exes versus how he looked on Vegas. People love Leroy, Mike, Jasmine, etc because they weren't shoved in our faces as "The Next" like these idiots are.
Not sure how they will edit it but the reunion wasn't/won't be boring. Lots of yelling, someone storms off set, funny unseen clips, JD speaks, and I rock my real hair (while trying to make sure the camera doesn't get an ******* shot while I'm sitting in the front row)! We also get updates on all of the couples and I address my teammates on my thoughts about their backstabbing comments. No one dies (sorry guys.. you'll have to tune into your local news for that).. but otherwise it should be a good show. Twitter.com/DevynSimone Youtube.com.DevynSimone Blog Coming Soon! Happy Hanukkah

Needless to say this is the only reason why I'll be watching. I still want to know if they said anything about Portland. If not ..pooorrrr queeeee
If JD appeared on every challenge from now until the end of time, never saying a word, he would still be my favorite cast member ever.
why is everyone so shocked that the reunion was boring? I think this was the worst challenge ever! SO BORING. The casting was so off. Too many rookies. Although I took a liking to Robb and Marie, and I love Dustin. SD was just way too annoying to watch. I can't even put into words the way I feel about Frank. Like I said there were just too many of the rookies. I thought when I saw that exes Danny and Melinda would be on the same team there was going to be more awkwardness then there actually was. Wes' middle name is Drama and he was gone after only one episode. The only reason I actually tune in is so that the ratings don't drop.

That elimination round did not favor pure strength i think it was perfect for CJ. Lets keep in mind that CJ played college football and was recruited by several NFL teams. (even for a punter you have to be in TOP notch shape to play at the division 1 collegiate level). And he has his own fitness company. CJ may not be complete bulk like zach, but the guy is a beast and his speed mixed with strength made him perfect for hall brawl. Zach on the other hand is another NFL prospect coming out of college and is a complete beast. CJ is the only one who could come close to zach on this season. Zach is more committed to working out than Evan CT Landon and Kenny as well, who will start gaining more fat and losing the muscle. I'd take Zach over all, him and CT are a close battle i suppose tho.

Landon is the best competitor ever IMO. I think everyone underestimated CJ because they were so focused on what they saw on Fresh Meat 2, which wasn't a fair showing of athletic ability and just a ****** challenge all around. What people neglect about the CJ / Zach elimination is the brains CJ used. He strategized to win the rounds he did and made Zach's size a disadvantage by getting real low. So cool of him. Hope CJ gets invited back based on that. Hey Landon was a good guy too.

That would also really help him in this particular elimination, how he got Zach by the legs is something he probably often does in wrestling/MMA training.
