The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=ChallengeGod;330912]As for Sarah being unlucky, I think the most unlucky player ever is Brandon. FM2-Has Katelynn as a partner, she gets hurt, they get DQed because Brandon drank a beer (as if no other player has ever competed tipsy) Cutthroat-His team throws him in 4 times, including 3 times without Chet who was also on his 2nd challenge being thrown in. Rivals-He climbed the rope faster than Wes, then they make up the rule that the top 2 get to compete again (heard that on a pod, not sure if it's true but still he climbed the rope faster than Wes) Seasons-Stuck on a team with Big Easy[/QUOTE] I couldn't agree ANYMORE.

[QUOTE=ChallengeGod;330912]Sarah over Ev as a partner isn't as dumb as it seems. It just depends on what type of motivation style you want. Luke would have been much better suited with Sarah as a partner on FM2 than Ev, but someone like Pete would have probably won with Ev. She'd definitely be better as a partner than Laurel in a final.

I think that one was special because unlike an Arena, Gulag, Ruin, or Dome, in which you are on flat ground, You could actually fall down a mountain on the Exiles that they had. So maybe it was for safety reasons.

Now that it is over, out of the whole cast: People I want to see: Chet, J.D, C.J, Jonna, Knight, Jemmye, McKenzie, Dustin, Nany, Wes, Danny People I wouldn't mind seeing: Jasmine, Brandon, Melinda, Lacey, Camila, Cara Maria, Robb and Trey People I never want to see again: Devyn, Sarah, Derek, Preston, Alton, Trishelle, Team San Diego, Marie, Big Easy and Laura

[QUOTE=V1man;330892]Sarah over Evelyn? Really? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL That's just nuts.[/QUOTE] In a final I'd rather have Sarah. Evelyn would probably beat Sarah in any physical elimination but if Evelyn and Sarah ran a final together they'd just keep up with the guys pace. They both can keep up with the guys and for me personally I don't think I'd do great with the puzzles and I'd choose Sarah over Evelyn to do puzzles for my team.

Personally, I'd rather have Evelyn because I'd have no problem with these puzzles. In a true team challenge (not this pair nonsense) both would be great to have on your team but Evelyn is like having another guy--Sarah's not at that level.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;330935]Now that it is over , Out of The Whole Cast People I never want to see again Devyn,Sarah,Derek,Preston,Alton,Trishelle,Team San Diego, Marie,Big Easy and Laura[/QUOTE] Sarah--you don't want to see one of the best competitors for this season and probably currently a top 5-8 girl again--wow. Just wow.

Evelyn is like another guy too bad she may not be coming back because I still wanna see her do a Duel with the like of Laurel, Emily etc.

I love Sarah but taking her over Ev is just a terrible mistake. Ev is one of the smartest cast members and is very good at puzzles. Any time that you think could be gained by Sarah on a puzzle would be minimal if she even finishes it faster. Ev would then smoke her on the rest of the final. This is Sarah were talking about who was crying on Cut Throat about not being a long distance runner and got taken off on a stretcher.

I agree with your basic point but I'm not sure that can still be used against her--she has spent the time to make sure she's no longer a liability with endurance.

For the record, I will say that, as an old-school fan, in recent years, 2012 Battle of the Seasons was a GREAT challenge. It brought the challenge back to it's roots by composing the teams of their initial RW seasons. Though, I was really hoping the mystery team at the beginning would be composed of Road Rulers, but I was happy to see Fresh Meat go as fast as they did.

Evelyn could easily beat most of the regular challenge guys in any distance run, but she is also smart enough only to maintain the speed needed. It hardly matters, though, since Sarah may be around until she is Beth's age while Evelyn is finished with MTV.

Heck, I'd like to see Beth do another challenge where she and Mark Long could co-captain a veterans team against the rookies. (I prefer old-school drama to the current crop of rookie morons). There is everything right about Evelyn moving on since her preferences in Law Schools will already require that she overcome their normal negative reaction to her having been on MTV.

[QUOTE=Kajun;330913]lol, she does smoke and girls who smoke do smell disgusting. I get you on the looking dirty thing. I totally agree with that. There are times she looks hot but her ridiculous fake eyelashes and lackluster personality turn me off. She has a very pretty exotic look but she it also looks like she has done some drugs in her days. I am shocked that anyone could think Trishelle is unnattractive. Trishelle in my opinion is beyond gorgeous. I also don't get how people hate her personality I think she is hilarious and a genius at the game. [B]I guess it would be a boring world though if we all had the same opinions though.[/B][/QUOTE] Not to mention that such opinions do give us insight into the personalities of our members.

[QUOTE=V1man;330957] There is everything right about Evelyn moving on since her preferences in Law Schools will already require that she overcome their normal negative reaction to her having been on MTV.[/QUOTE] As a lawyer I really don't think being on MTV is going to be held against her in terms of getting into law school. It is far more likely to be held against her by firms when they're considering hiring her. All depends on what kind of law she wants to do. I wish her the best--would still like to see her come back if there's another Duel for selfish reasons but I fully respect her moving on It just drives me crazy when people, not saying you, criticize Sarah for wanting to do these time after time. Sarah's loves these things--if she's happy that's all that matters

Her father is one of the most respected attorneys in NYC and a Harvard Alumnus with a particularly interesting duty in his firm. I expect that once Evelyn graduates, she can write her own ticket. I don't personally have an age limit on anyone, including Sarah, but I do have a personal reason that I'd prefer she and two others never return.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;330935]Now that it is over, out of the whole cast: People I want to see: Chet, J.D, C.J, Jonna, Knight, Jemmye, McKenzie, Dustin, Nany, Wes, Danny People I wouldn't mind seeing: Jasmine, Brandon, Melinda, Lacey, Camila, Cara Maria, Robb and Trey People I never want to see again: Devyn, Sarah, Derek, Preston, Alton, Trishelle, Team San Diego, Marie, Big Easy and Laura[/QUOTE] Why on earth would you rather see JD and McKenzie over Sarah, Marie, and Laura????? And what is so interesting about Lacey?

[QUOTE=V1man;330966] I don't personally have an age limit on anyone, including Sarah, but I do have a personal reason that I'd prefer she and two others never return.[/QUOTE] That's fine. I don't know her in real life and the only thing I care about is that she's there to compete. If you don't like her for a personal reason that's completely understandable.

[QUOTE=PhilthyPryde;330902]Jonna can do much better than that kid anyway. Zach, to me, is a butterface and aside from his body I don't understand his appeal. He seems like a nice guy, I guess. I also don't understand him and Frank's relationship. I can't really imagine them just hanging out - not that I know either of them personally. But, I like that they're friends.[/QUOTE] Jonna doing better? Really ? Zach dodged a bullet IMO

[QUOTE=V1man;330958]Not to mention that such opinions do give us insight into the personalities of our members.[/QUOTE] Not at all.

[QUOTE=alaskak94;330972]Why on earth would you rather see JD and McKenzie over Sarah, Marie, and Laura????? And what is so interesting about Lacey?[/QUOTE] I wrote Laura off while her season was Airing (and she is prob the most pathetic girl TRW has ever seen) and Marie just seems try-hard like she was doing it all for show. There is nothing interesting about Lacey bit I wouldn't mind seeing her. McKenzie and J.D are not only good to look at but they're interesting and based on their season they have the potential to tune up. [QUOTE=kvm1977;330941]Sarah--you don't want to see one of the best competitors for this season and probably currently a top 5-8 girl again--wow. Just wow.[/QUOTE] I could care less about how someone competes, if I don't find them interesting to watch, Sarah is due for a much needed break and I also find her annoyingly over camping.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;330986] I could care less about how someone competes if I don't find them interesting to watch, Sarah is in Due for a much needed break and I also find her annoyingly over camping[/QUOTE] If you want her to take a break that's fine but you said "never again"--there's a huge difference. This is a show about competition--not just drama. Saying "never again" for Sarah may be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Just a pet peeve of mine but you mean "couldn't care less"...could care less means you care. The fact you think McKenzie is good to look at and has potential but ruled out Ashley makes no sense either. Where's the logic? I don't think there is any. But, on the bright side--at least you don't appear to hate Jonna for no reason

She is definitely becoming this generations Robin. If she came back after 1 or 2 seasons then I might actually might be able to stand her again. Ashley looks like a frog to me , She has an amazing body but she is not that great to look at but what ever floats your boat.

They were so boring on the Challenge ... I don't even remember ANYTHING they did that stood out. How is Laura the most pathetic girl ever? She's an amazing person and far more interesting than those JD or McKenzie. And the fact that you are basing this off of how interesting the person is and then saying that "there is nothing interesting about Lacey" is totally contradictory. Why would you "not mind seeing her" if she was boring? Makes no sense. How is Marie a try-hard? She's REAL as a person and doesn't give a **** what people think about her. And she only creates drama when she's drunk - that's not a try-hard at all.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;330887]Emilee & Ayiiia being "hotter is just laughable. She was definitely the most attractive girl at the reunion--only Ashley is even close.[/QUOTE] I think Emilee was easily the beauty of the Cancun season. The guys were just more attracted to Jonna because she was more submissive and "easy" while Emily came off more independent and less boy crazy. Emilee is loyal to her girl friends while Jonna seems like she would throw her girlfriends under the bus for a guy so naturally the guys would like that better. I think Ayiia has better facial structure than Jonna as well. On Rivals alone I think almost every other girl there was more physically more appealing than Jonna. On Battle of the Seasons, at the top of my head, Melinda, Cara Maria, Nany are all prettier and a whole bunch of others. Jonna isn't unattractive or anything but she only gets by because of the interesting color of her eyes.

She is certainly makes better TV than many others.

Jonna is pretty with a TON of makeup but other than that she really isn't that attractive. Emilee was the prettiest one of her season. I like her and everything but she defends Frank like she was on the challenge. I get they're friends but she literally says something to every single person on twitter who says something about him. It's annoying because she wasn't even there. I wonder if she is still "banned" or if she ever was.
