[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;407179]Anastasia, Cooke, Mandi, Diem, and probably Shauvon are all done with challenges.Idk about Laurel but thats not a fair team and I wouldn't want to see it as many others won't either. There are a lot of exes teams that could make for a anyones game kinda competition and they would ruin that.
A season without Ct is not the end of the world because they can still have him involved in specials and what not.[/QUOTE]
They would also probably find a way to bring him back (knowing BMP/MTV)

That clip has an incredibly misleading title given what happens in it...especially after seeing the clip of Bananas leveling her on the after show.

Is there an afershow tonight?
[QUOTE=proceed;407177]Averey was the most conceited person on Portland imo, and with Nia, Jordan, and Anasasia(who refers to herself in first person), that's quite the feat. [B]She just has this air of superiority that really rubs me the wrong way.[/B] If it's really true that Averey cheated on him(which I wouldn't put past her with some of her behavior on the Portland season), then I think he's better of without her. Looks mean nothing at the end of the day. In 10 years everyone of these people will look completely different anyway.
As for the Portland season, ratings don't mean much as so many factors go into how well a season does. IMO, Portland was the best recent season entertainment-wise, and as far as character-growth goes.[/QUOTE]
I see i'm not the only one who thought this. If she ever does one she'll fit right in with a lot of the challengers. I also agree about Portland. Ratings =/= good season, as its showing with this current challenge. Portland came behind two of the worst seasons of all time (from what I heard, I never watched them), so I could see why.
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;407220]Is there an afershow tonight?[/QUOTE]
I think so. The original airing time is 90 minutes, then switches to 1 hour.
Also I don't know if this has been posted, but the description for the Best of the worst special
The Best of the Worst: Fan favorites return to battle for a new title.

I hate when ppl blame the seasons that aired before for the ratings, you can only blame the first episode for it after that blame the season that is airing for attracting viewers or at least maintaining ratings. Perfect example of this DC did horrible rating wise then New Orleans 2 increase and ratings increase every episode. Then Vegas premiered and they maintain/Increase rating from new Orleans. The San Diego premiered with good ratings than it went down. The complaints I still keep hearing about Portland was that Nia came in as a character and create drama that look staged. Portland is the season that had more promotion from the last 4 with a retro Real world Marathon and they even showed the trailer on Vh1/Bravo but for some reason it didn't at least maintain viewers from ST.Thomas ratings kept going down and down.
This season was lack of promotion and editing make it seem boring.
After watching those two clips, Jordan is trying so hard to be some tough guy. He's trying to be that character. And he's not funny, he's not backing up his talk, and he has no reason to say what he says. He's a wanna be 'Wes'.

Wes was actually funny and played a character. I think this is who Jordan actually is, cocky and arrogant. I liked him on parts of Portland because he does have a soft side and Rivals 2 he seemed fine but this season he is just unbelievably cocky..

He makes Bananas, Wes, and Kenny look humble in comparison.

The funny thing is he was so cool with Johnny after Rivals 2. In his interviews he always had nothing but good things to say about him. But now it's like he wants to be seen as that guy who goes after Johnny. He wants to be a "leader", a "Wes", a "Kenny". I do think he's unbelievably cocky but with the way he just lashed out at Jessica for no reason. Called Johnny a "*****" for no reason, he's playing it up. And it worked because now he has a really solid Rivals 3 partner.

That is why I specifically stated WHAT I HEARD. I wouldn't know because I never cared to follow the Real World again until Portland (I didn't even watch all of that but I liked what I did see). Most of the people saying this were on here.
Here's a question I've been thinking about:
Would you rather go into the elimination via voting or the draw?
With the draw: well you know you didn't get voted in so chances are you're not priority #1, but at the same time you don't get to prepare as well
Via voting: I mean, chances are you'll likely go in again but atleast you have time to prepare and get in the mindset.

Looks like Swift refuses to vote for Latoya again and Jordan calls him out for it.

Ratings didn't really go down over the course of the Portland season. It premiered with a 0.72, and was over 1.0 by the last three episodes, but like I said a lot factors into ratings, not just previous seasons. Time slot competition, the time of year that the show is airing, etc.

It started low and then Nia came and it went up. Then after a couple of episodes went down a bit but went up but never went the premiere down. Then last three episodes were higher in a million and a couple before but after the halfway point were too.
BMP has said in interviews before that Portland had low ratings but they loved cast!
[QUOTE=JayTee;407250]Wow. They really need to learn how to give us sneak peaks without spoiling anything major. Looks like we know which team wins.[/QUOTE]
They've always been bad about this. Remember the Rivals II first episode preview we saw that Dunbar/Tyrie and Derek/Robb went into elimination without seeing the vote or challenge.
[QUOTE=proceed;407256]Yeah the sneak peaks are basically spoilers. The one last week with Cammila/Nia gave away the winning team.[/QUOTE]
But there were multiple teams so it was still interesting to watch who got teamed up with who and how every team performed.
Inadequate was a poor choice of words though by Jessica, Jordan probably thought that was referencing his hand...Not cool if so not that Jordan shoudl have brought up Jess anyway. He was kind of right so far though it's easy to coast on winning teams without excelling individually but that's the same for everyone, not just Jess...That's my problem with the show so far and the missions it really hasn't proved who is the best when they have a bunch of stacked guys who it would be awesome to see them compete and see who can getter times/do better at certain events. Kind of like the duel 1 when they did the leaping from platform to platform that mission would be awesome with this cast of guys.
Being a team player is great in a big team game. but this is free agents. I am not a fan of that. You can be a decent player and do well on a team of 5 every time and win every challenge, without really being that great individually...Hypothetically of course..A lot of people are good on a team but not really on their own. I mean on the challenge and in general like in work places, some people are great in team dynamics but by them self are not nearly as good. Whether it has to do with confidence, athletic ability, or both.

The ratings were mediocre even though it started going up before Nia even show up:
Episode 1- 0.72
Episode 2- 0.96
Episode 3- 0.99
Episode 4 (Nia Arrived, they were hyping this moment in every promo commercial)- 1.15
Episode 5 (Worse than the first 2 episodes) – 0.89
Episode 6- 1.02
Episode 7- 0.90
Episode 8- 0.91
Episode 9- 0.80
Episode 10- 1.08
Episode 11- 1.01
Episode 12- 1.05
Which interviews? I have heard that producers hated the house dynamic of Portland, not the cast as individuals but the dynamic they had as a whole. That they just don’t think they did a good job mixing the cast members. By what I heard they love the dynamic the cast from explosion had and the mixed of personalities before the exes even show up.

I think we all agree that Portland didn't have good overall ratings. I disagreed that the ratings went lower and lower. It started at 0.72, and ended at 1.05, compared to the previous season St Thomas which started at 1.20 and ended at 0.99. Ratings are going to fluctuate, but overall they rose over the season of Portland.
