The Challenge: Generic Thread

Nia looks like she'd beast on a Duel, too

[QUOTE=YvanEhtNioj;332898]Nia looks like she'd beast on a Duel, too[/QUOTE] She seems thirsty AF from tweets and I feel like if she would do a challenge it be like Frank and Zach on a challenge unbearable and annoy AF. Anywho back on topic , For Rookie guys I would love see do a duel or another Dustin,Johnny(PDX),Trey,Isaac and C.J.

[QUOTE=TheCloser;332890]It means exactly what it says. Tyler is not on the next challenge[/QUOTE] That tweet didn't imply that it was for the upcoming challenge or that phone calls have been sent. They could have been referring to battle of the seasons.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;332903]That tweet didn't imply that it was for the upcoming challenge or that phone calls have been sent. They could have been referring to battle of the seasons.[/QUOTE] It's already been stated that calls were made a little while ago

Stated where? And from whom?

Favorite Team: Gauntlet 3 (I thought the guys were hilarious and almost all my favorite vets were on the same team: CT, Kenny, Evan, Johnny, Derrick, etc...) Favorite Partners: Kenny & Laurel (They were almost invincible) Favorite Duel: Mark (Duel 2) (For an old dude, this guy is pretty damn athletic and did better than expected on this one) Least Favorite Team: Team San Diego (Ashley was fine but Sam was worthless, Zach is a ******, and Frank is a p**** that needs to get beatin' up) Least Favorite Partners: Jonna & Jasmine (Boring as s***) Least Favorite Duel: Ryan (Duel 2) (All I remember is that his name was Ryan and he was gay, that's how worthless he was)

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;332906]Stated where? And from whom?[/QUOTE] Right here; right now... And there has been a small bit of comment in other threads over the past two months. Availability calls always go out first. Then BMP makes its best effort to assemble a cast to fit the specific challenge format, then a cast makeup is provided to MTV for approval. "I wasn't asked" or "I said 'no"' are usually the ones first heard from. Rumors for the disaffected/not selected usually create the first framework for the actual cast. Someone needs to bribe Molds13 to direct some of her magnificant research techniques to the task.

Just making sure because I feel it's still early in the game.

Oh, I see. But still I didn't get much of it from that tweet.

Tyler could also just not be telling the truth. Cara Maria has played that game every season since Fresh Meat 2. I don't believe a word out of anyone until Molds infiltrates whatever airport they're flying out of. As for the favorites thing Team: Cutthroat Blue Team (Johnny and Derrick are among my favorites, I don't mind Ty, and three of, in my opinion, the most attractive girls on the shows Jenn, Emily, and Emilee) Pairing: Kenny and Laurel, not even close for me. Duel Contestant: Svetlana - hot as hell, important character, good competitor, not an *******. What more do you want? Least: Team: Team San Diego for every reason everyone else has said them (Cutthroat Red was a close second but it had a number of people I actually like on it: Paula, Tyler, Chet) Pairing: Wes and Mandi because I can't stand Wes and, though I don't mind Mandi, she wasn't enough to redeem him. Plus we had to suffer through it twice. Duel Contestant: Wes

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;332909]Just making sure because I feel it's still early in the game.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's that early. I wouldn't be surprised if they left early February to around valentines day.

Are people that are called not allowed to say so?

[QUOTE=alaskak94;332914]Are people that are called not allowed to say so?[/QUOTE] They can say no, but it's written in the contract that they can make you do a show for like 5 years or something. I don't think they've ever done that though.

So is there anyone that has been confirmed for next season?

[QUOTE=Lola88;332913]I don't think it's that early. I wouldn't be surprised if they left early February to around valentines day.[/QUOTE] That's not even a month...

[QUOTE=Lola88;332915]They can say no, but it's written in the contract that they can make you do a show for like 5 years or something. I don't think they've ever done that though.[/QUOTE] Sorry I worded that wrong. I meant to ask "When people are called and they say yes, are they not allowed to tell everyone that they're going to be on the next challenge?"

[QUOTE=alaskak94;332918]Sorry I worded that wrong. I meant to ask "When people are called and they say yes, are they not allowed to tell everyone that they're going to be on the next challenge?"[/QUOTE] correct, they can't tell if they said "yes." They can tell the internet if they say "no" though.

Or if they aren't asked at all apparently. And since Tyler tweeted that he apparently wasn't asked, I'm guessing calls have gone out already then?

[QUOTE=alaskak94;332920]Or if they aren't asked at all apparently. And since Tyler tweeted that he apparently wasn't asked, I'm guessing calls have gone out already then?[/QUOTE] A little while ago. If you go back and read the pages before everyone started posting about their favorite competitors lol, there's a short list of some people who have gotten calls. I think Susie said Kenny and Evan were called. Someone said Frank was asked, also. I have a "hunch" that Joi and Jesica from Portland have also been called..

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;332917]That's not even a month...[/QUOTE] Sorry I thought you meant it's too early to start filming another challenge. Calls probably went out some time ago, the cast and production have gotten smarter on social media as to giving hints.

[QUOTE=sillynolan;332916]So is there anyone that has been confirmed for next season?[/QUOTE] Nobody gets confirmed until the departure.

[QUOTE=Aereas;332438]That's not really what I'm looking for and I don't do anything ************** so it's not even an option. What I'm eventually hoping for is a digitally remastered HD complete first-to-last season collection with an insert including character bios of some of the big names. This series has (currently) 23 seasons spanning 15 years, which doesn't happen often anymore in TV. It's extremely worthy of a collector's treatment such as this and I would easily pay $100+ for it.[/QUOTE] I like apple, so I was happy to find them there. I just wish some of the other older seasons would be released. I too would spend some money on a nice box set....I love these challenges...I started a little late with the original Battle of the Sexes....but I still feel like I've been with it since close to the start. I also would love a nice book that had detailed information / stats for all the seasons. A nice hardcover one that had a bunch of info, interviews, pics, etc. A collectors dream lol.

Am I the only one hoping its a Ruins 2. Aside from the **** show the first one was, the concept was pretty genius but the Champions were beyond stacked. If they level the teams (ie Gauntlet 2) then I think it could be a pretty great show with a Vets vs Rookies feel to it but with a Champions vs Challengers concept. I think the voting thing is pretty dumb because like in the 1st one certain people would never go in, but with a few perks I think it has ALOT of potential.

To me I think it's a better way to introduce more fresh faces before doing another Duel.

I would also love a ruins 2. I even voted for it on that poll mtv had up.

[QUOTE=MBlaze;332976]Am I the only one hoping its a Ruins 2. Aside from the **** show the first one was, the concept was pretty genius but the Champions were beyond stacked. [/QUOTE] You didn't like the original season (I'm guessing you mean the cast?). I guess I loved it a lot because of all the Champion Women. It brought back Veronica, Katie, & Tonya together, we got to see Ibis again (I loved RRX), and the team was rounded off by Susie, Joanna, & Ev. I wouldn't mind a Ruins 2, but I also would love another Battle of the Sexes (Which I Doubt we would ever get) or a Duel 3. No matter what the Challenge is, I think they should go back to the idea they had in the original Battle of the Sexes and have a score board again, even if it's for one challenge. Then the ones with the big mouths would shut up if they didn't perform well, and you could def. tell who was voting off personal issues rather then performance (like when we saw Rachel, Julie, & Veronica get voted off in BotS1). Also, my friend posted this article someone wrote about The Real World, thought I'd share it: [url=http://www.vulture.com/2013/01/real-world-mtv-is-as-good-as-ever.html]Real World Lifer: Why I Will Never Stop Watching -- Vulture[/url]

I really want to see a Ruins 2 but only with a revamped elimination deliberation and a even Challenger time and a nice blend of Rookies and Veterans. Since I know the last could never happen and I literally refuse to sit threw JEK and Team San Diego (Together on the same team) so I hope we get a reworked Island. I just really want to see C.T,Coral,Katie,Camila,Wes,Isaac,Aneesa,Adam(Paris),Johnny(PDX),Joi and Dustin on the next one.i actually wouldn't mind another Fresh Meat (maybe not partners though like Fresh Meat Vs Alumni) since a lot of the new RW and Fresh Meat are not cut out for challenges.

How have calls already went out but the challenges haven't even been renewed yet?

[QUOTE=gamer73;333003]How have calls already went out but the challenges haven't even been renewed yet?[/QUOTE] That's kind of where I was initially getting out. I guess its just in case type of situation.

[QUOTE=gamer73;333003]How have calls already went out but the challenges haven't even been renewed yet?[/QUOTE] How do you know that there has been no renewal or extension of the existing contract? MTV does not always announce contract matters. It's done on a selective basis.
