The Challenge: Generic Thread

[QUOTE=UrbanTactics;333345]Kajun brought up a good point, he just laughed about the fact that he does coke. To be honest, it's not a good look to have somebody almost glorify cocaine on a television show for **************] They have no problem casting rapists so why not bring a coke head on these things?

If he still does coke he's not gonna pass the drug test anyway

[QUOTE=Debut Album;333373]They have no problem casting rapists...[/QUOTE] This has not yet been seen to happen.

[QUOTE=V1man;333375]This has not yet been seen to happen.[/QUOTE] That was a [I]sub[/I] for Evan and Kenny.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;333376]That was a [I]sub[/I] for Evan and Kenny.[/QUOTE] It is what it is.

[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;333376]That was a [I]sub[/I] for Evan and Kenny.[/QUOTE] Well no one really knows if its true or not. Also I saw on CTs twitter about a valentines day party he will be attending. Do you think he won't be on the next challenge? Can someone pull this up?

[QUOTE=TheCloser;333378]Well no one really knows if its true or not...[/QUOTE] I've been continually surprised at the number of people who know what is true.

If nothing else I hope Road Rules has some representation on this next challenge. Also, not to throw back to the ruins convo but look how 'chummy' Veronica and Tonya look lol: [url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=15196][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/5376510c64ce1da44.jpg[/img][/url]

Man, just looking at the pic reminds me of how epic a cast The Ruins had. Just a horrible outcome.

The Ruins champion females was pretty amazing. Switch out Johanna for Coral and Ibis for Rachel R and it would have been epic.

IMHO, I would like Ibis to stay however I'm with you on switching out boring Johanna.

[QUOTE=UrbanTactics;333366]Good question, based on his views during the reunion he didn't want to quit. But that was a while ago so hopefully he changed.[/QUOTE] He has some nerve. Did he not learn anything from Joey K? [QUOTE=r3iKo;333370]Just based on what we've seen from him on TV. A Challenge will further put him at risk with his alcoholic issues. Who knows, maybe he's like Dan now, but just based on his character on him being young and not thinking what he's doing is bad, doesn't want me to see him on a Challenge. I don't think he's very athletic, and don't think he'll get very far in a Challenge. Therefore, he's kind of a waste of space, because I view these as a sporting competition.[/QUOTE] Oh ye of little faith...We do not necessarily know what he does on a daily basis so who is to say he hasn't changed?

I would love for them to re-introduce the scoreboard to the challenge, maybe not permanently, but just to try it out for a season. Maybe it would make the show more about actual competition again and not BS drama.

[QUOTE=kvm1977;333411]Agreed--I'd love a competition where the bottom two performers (cumulative scoring) were automatically sent into the elimination round[/QUOTE] Cumulative scoring is one way to fight pre-show alliances and some of the absurd politics that have emerged since Fresh Meat. A scoring system that awarded no advantage to the previous day's winners would be a nice inclusion into a Dual 3 format.

Agreed. And when they did use a scoreboard, there was still plenty of drama. Plus, I think a scoreboard would cool to have so we can all see for ourselves who actually is good or not on a challenge. Here lately, I don't think there have been enough individual missions to fully make an opinion.

Well the last several seasons we have only known the top 2 teams and bottom team in each mission, so it'd be nice to see how each person is going in the missions overall.

[QUOTE=Lola88;333466]Well the last several seasons we have only known the top 2 teams and bottom team in each mission, so it'd be nice to see how each person is going in the missions overall.[/QUOTE] I also would welcome a return to a 30-minute format with a longer season.

Or how about just a longer season with 1-hour episodes?

[QUOTE=alaskak94;333469]Or how about just a longer season with 1-hour episodes?[/QUOTE] No, not for me. There are too many compromises that need to be made in the production process when one edits an hour of reality programming. The half-hour (22 minutes) makes for much tighter editing.

Did you see the seasons where they had the scoreboard? there was still LOADS of drama and politics. That's not something that's never going to go away on these things.

I would love the next season to put the new kids against the older players not like a Gauntlet I would love to see the newbies vs the vets in 1 on 1 eliminations. I would love to see how Frank and Zach play a game where they're not in control if they're in a house with Johnny and CT they won't get to be big bullies they were on Battle of the Seasons.

I'm here for a Ruins 2 same format minus the whole deliberating within a team. Or a Duel, much like the original Duel because the Duel 2 was basically a pairs competition which costed Mark Long a potential win being paired with (dare I say one of my favorites) Aneesa. I'd love for MTV to have a best of the best poll. give us a list of all female/male players that we love and want to see on a duel and have them come back and duke it out with a great top 3 prize package. #1 winner(s) take home the biggest individual cash prize in challenge history!? That's incentive for a lot of our faves & old vets to come back. I think they should have this poll go for possibly a few months, giving potential participants training time. & possibly switching out the voting format w/ the scoreboard; lowest scoring player automatic duel w/ person of their choosing INCLUDING the player that won that particular mission therefore making NO ONE immune from elimination (as to stop players who could win every mission and never step in [Jodi, Rachel]) THOUGHTS!?

People would just half-*** every challenge.

[QUOTE=V1man;333467]I also would welcome a return to a 30-minute format with a longer season.[/QUOTE] I agree....I'd rather have a longer season at 30 min a night then ten episodes that are an hour long. The Original Battle of the Sexes, Gauntlet 1, Inferno 1, Battle of the Sexes 2, etc were all 1/2 hour and those seasons were great! Also I love the idea for a return of the scoreboard......I still say another Battle of the Sexes, with a scoreboard, with the inner circle, but have elimination rounds where the person voted off can pick someone not in the inner circle to battle against to stay. (my dream lol)

I've always like the challenges where they had smaller teams. So for the next challenge I hope they do a new format with smaller teams. Maybe have multiple teams of 6 or 8

A lot of the cast is doing spring break appearances this year, like they do many years. Has a challenge ever been filmed in March?

[QUOTE=CherryPie;333498]Or the same number of episodes but longer episodes. I'm used to european shows that last 1h30-1h45 and it's so much more entertaining.[/QUOTE] But realistically I don't think MTV would give them more than an hour - look at last season. Hardly any reruns.
