[QUOTE=wwwwhat;341448]Cara Maria doesn't have to serve a purpose. If the partners were all set, and Naomi quit after filming started, who do you suggest they partner Cooke with? You think they should just mix up all the teams to make her be partners with Nany?[/QUOTE]
I disagree, I think she has to serve a purpose or they wouldn't have tested her for this challenge and she wouldn't have replaced naomi. Just like last season with Sydney, even though it was 1 individual that got DQd the whole team left because they didn't have an alternate for the theme of the Sydney team.

Camila was on the Fresh Meat team--when it comes to replacements they'll reach

Fresh Meat are people that weren't on a RW or RR season, that's not a stretch. Cooke and Cara? That's beyond even stretching.

The show hadn't started yet. The casual viewer has no idea Sidney was part of the cast. If they already started filming this season, they have 3 options: 1, send Cooke home too and bring in 2 more rivals. 2, bring in another competitor to replace Naomi (even if it doesn't fit the theme). 3, send Cooke home too, have one less team in the competition. I'm guessing they just chose option 2.
Maybe Cara was originally considered for the show as Paula's partner...but they decided to use Emily. Kinda like how Tyler was going to be on this season (maybe as Leroy's partner) but they went another direction (Ty).
Cara doesn't have to serve a purpose. They needed another competitor, she was available.
Again, assuming it is in fact Cooke and Naomi and not Emily/Naomi considering a lot of the pairs seem to be based on who eliminated who
[QUOTE=molds13;341334]Not even close. It's a three-horse race there (in terms of competition) as far as I'm concerned. But maybe some dark horses will come through...[/QUOTE]
In terms of the three, would you say that prior to Naomi going home it was only a 2 horse race and that it became a three horse race because of her quitting?
I'm clearly trying to fish here by being slightly inconspicuous lol
She doesn't have to serve a purpose with this specific cast. Maybe she and some one else was an alternative team. But BMP decide other teams over them or the person drop out.
Laura was also an alternative, what would be be her purpose with this cast? I dont even think she has a rival other than maybe Marie.
Did Michael fit a purpose on rivals? No.
They're not going to put Johnny & Frank on the same team...they have no on-camera history with each other and the vast majority of people who watch the show don't keep up with these people off-camera to be aware of hostility between the two on Twitter or whatever.
CT & Johnny are going to be a pair, they can go back six years in the archives to piece together a timeline for these two.
Duel 1: CT spearheaded the movement to get Johnny into the first elimination round. First night they were there, he got a bunch of the guys together & told them "Johnny's going under."
Gauntlet 3: CT again spearheads Johnny's departure from the show, basically convincing the rest of the team that Evan said he wanted to face Johnny in the Gauntlet. The two got into a headed exchange with CT telling Johnny he'd murder him.
Cutthroat: Pretty self-explanatory.
Rivals 1: Johnny was apart of the alliance that tried to orchestrate CT's demise from the very start. The two of them again got into a verbal exchange before the final elimination round in which Johnny got some level of retribution for what happened on Cutthroat.

CT and Johnny are not paired together. So that can lay to rest.
No footage of Aneesa and Rachel going on, but they were a team on Battle of the Exes.
[QUOTE=Nightwolf;341462]If Wes and Frank are together, how the **** are them two still there then?[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about? Wes and Frank are good, or at least more than decent on challenges, Wes isnt a runner but he can definitely do well on the daily challenges.

But their relationship WAS known and put in the air on Duel 2.
[QUOTE=Lostcity;341468]it probably is johnny/frank, they didnt show jonna and nany beef during bots and they likely are paired.[/QUOTE]
Why though? They have perfectly good footage of Johnny/CT and Frank/Wes. You guys MTV usually just goes with the simplest solution, you guys are over thinking it. The only reason why they wont put Johnny/CT together is in hopes that Wes/CT argue more. I dont want CT/Johnny together but I do want to see the character development of Wes/Frank cause they actually dont like one another and I wana see them work together, even Wes/Johnny would be interesting for the same reason. Unlike rivals 1 where Wes/Kenny secretly like each other, and CT/Johnny are friends and CT/Wes get along and are also probably friends behind the scenes.
But even molds said Frank/Johnny might happen, and Vman indirectly said it too, I dont get it, I just think its easier and simpler to do Wes/Frank
Social Media has become such a fixture regarding these shows, I would not be surprised if Johnny is paired with Frank, and an entire twitter feed is rolling, while they're doing there confessionals.
The debating of "who I personally think should be paired" is pointless. It leads absolutely no where. It is causing pointless attacks on members and is grounds for this thread to be closed like the others. BMP does not give a **** what fans think. They will create storylines out of thin air if they have to for the sake of drama. That has been proven profusely. Seriously, if this format were Battle of the Sexes, I bet people would find a way to pointlessly argue about who would be on which team. There are even people who have deluded themselves into thinking BMP would have amended the veteran contractual requirement for another Gauntlet. Let us please stop using baseless conjecture to figure out the format and use the elimination spoilers as a good starting point.
I think personal opinions are clouding the logical thoughts. We can all agree this Rivals is a stretch, a big one, and probably not what we wanted. The problem is the people we're trying to pair all have "something" that could be used. CT has footage with Wes, Johnny, and Ty..Johnny also has footage with Wes, CT, and a twitter "thing" with Frank. Then Wes obvs from what I just said could be with CT or Johnny but he ALSO has a rival in Frank
There's too many options with some of the remaining people. Honestly the people we're guessing might all make it to the end too, so it could be awhile before we know
[QUOTE=Blue123;341372]I'm just surprised knight/Preston are still there, it seems like its last place goes in and they seem to have dodged it. I guess Preston has turned into superman or they are actually eliminated and we dont know it lol, theyre almost at the finals, rivals is a pretty easy game to get to the finals with, judge avoid 4 eliminations.[/QUOTE]
The cast is bigger this time tho, so for all we know there is still a while before the final challenge.
[QUOTE=YvanEhtNioj;341490]I don't think it's another Rivals. Idk why. I guess because the only thing that keeps screwing it up for me is that Jessica and Anastassia are far from Rivals.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, that´s why I was in denial from the get go, because Ana-Jess / Marlon-Jordan are actually pretty good friends and not rivals....
On the other hand molds already confirmed explicitly that it´s Rivals II.

Thats crazy to me though. I know on the trailer we saw Jordan getting into it while Marlon and Marlon throwing a cup at his face, but I can't imagine Jess and Ana having any drama together. Maybe some **** went down at Frozen Freddy's lol
It irritates me that B/M can make a "rivalry" out of nothing.

I agree, but on Jessica spreetcast with Alexandra Govere she mention that there was a point in the Ice cream truck that they would get in each other nerves and couldn't stand each other.That living together and working together just the 2 of them cause tension.
I though this was interesting. I just saw this on twitter

Haha I love Ana. Everyone seems to think Nia is the "real" one of Portland, but the girl tries to hard to be noticed and get attention. You can't be that extreme all the time or nobody would actually like you. Ana is a tell it like it is girl but also shows a heart. I wish she lasted longer on the challenge :(
Actually Johnny and CT could still be Rivals over Johnny's Cutthroat elimination. Diem is also a very solid competitor. Whether or not she should be there right now is between her, her doctor and BMP.
[QUOTE=YvanEhtNioj;341511]When did Paula and Emily ever have an issue with each other?[/QUOTE]
Emily was ****** off at Paula on Exes when Paula sent her into the dome.
[QUOTE=Lola88;341513]Emily was ****** off at Paula on Exes when Paula sent her into the dome.[/QUOTE]
Plus, there was the disrespect Emily gave to Ty with the blackface of Nutella. Ty and Paula did also have *** like 10 feet away from Emily and she made a point about it in front of others.
Paula is a long distance runner and a much better athlete than people give her credit for. However, she and Diem are both petrified of heights.
[QUOTE=Imjustsayin;341503]
I dont understand how CT and Johnny would be rivals. They seemed to have squashed their beef on BOTE. And futhermore, CT and Johnny didnt hae any real problem or at least none that I can remember. The only issue I can think of is that JEK was trying to get CT eliminated from Rivals...
CT and Wes don't really make since either because they seemed cool on BOTE as well. Yes, they had differences on Rivas but, what else is there?
[/QUOTE]
You guys have such high standards, 90% of the rivals last time were friends/squashed whatever beef they had. Just CT/Adam and Cara/Laurel didnt. Wes/CT can still be considered rivals today cause they seem like the type thats cool with each other off the court but get into arguments during the game and magically make up right after, I wouldnt be surprised if they just fight for the cameras, I wouldnt be shocked if that 7 hour fight was staged. Johnny/CT also works simply cause they have a lot of footage of them and the normal viewers have no idea that theyre Xbox buddies
JEKdynasty seems to be sure it is CT/Johnny paired but members on here seems certain it's not. Normally I would not believe a person on twitter claiming facts, but he has not been incorrect one time as far as Johnny info and pretty certain he gets info fed directly from bitter challengers...take it for what it's worth..I believe him though unless he meant something else.
