I mean, I get the Jordan thing. Of course they want to play up the Jordan/Bananas "rivalry".
And I guess Devyn gets pretty far, but still would have been nice to have Aneesa there to address her Laurel issues.
Nany is so gorgeous. All the girls are beautiful!
Weird seats though. I can understand why the people who are there are there including Jordan. But I think it would have been more interesting if Aneesa were there due to her rivalry with Laurel on this season.
No Leroy makes me sad. Good thing I didn't believe an early spoiler.
Btw is Zach single?

Zach is a single man lol
[QUOTE=PlatosCave;416646]Set looks terrible. It's hurting my eyes to look at it.
Why was Jordan invited, but not Aneesa? Surely, Aneesa had more drama to address than Devyn, and she went out later than Jordan.
On Aneesa's spreecast, she made it sound like she wasn't invited. She also said Theresa had asked her to join the audience to give her support, but Aneesa said it would be too difficult to be in the audience and hear things about herself raised on stage, and not be able to address them.[/QUOTE]
Jordan was part of the main storyline at least for the first half of the season.
Jordan vs Jess/Total
Jordan and Laurel
Jordan vs Bananas
They are trying to build his challenge name

Devyn is favorite for BMP if you can't tell.
Aneesa is too but she has been around longer. Devyn is still new to this so they are trying to build a fan base for her. I just hope if she comes back her commentary is more like BOTS than Free Agents. More naturally funny than forced. I wanna see Vanna Black Devyn ****
Long time lurker, first time poster. I haven't been checking these message boards as much since molds' departure. I also don't have the time to read through 1315 pages of material. I would like to know if we have any definitive spoilers re: who made the finals. I remember reading awhile back that CT was eliminated by Zach right before the finals. Is there any truth to that rumor? Thanks in advance.

From what I can tell, the final is:
Bananas, Johnny R, Zach (men)
Laurel, Nany, Devyn (women)
CT is supposedly taken out by Bananas (who goes onto win) and doesn't see the final. Leroy, Theresa and Cara Maria also don't make the final.

[QUOTE=Theman17;416673]Thanks for the quick responses. **** JB takes out CT? Why do we think this is the case?[/QUOTE]
No idea...But that's the rumor going around 3 more episodes to find if it's true.

+ Wasn't CT talking about how he and Bananas almost every time meet each other in the end in that last video
[QUOTE=PinkRose;416652]Zach is a single man lol[/QUOTE]
He goes through more girlfriends than anyone.
so idk if this has been discussed but why did they do the tug of war elimination 2x before they did the wall climb? Seems like they were going in order but reversed those two. Seems sketch to me. I think Camila would have kicked Theresa's *** in the wall climb.

No idea, because the first time around they didn't had the chance 2 guys going at it. Production is really sketching at times.
[QUOTE=Viegasjuice;416480]Not even close. Leroy would have gotten murdered.[/QUOTE]
Sorry - no way in **** Bananas beats Leroy in Balls In, Oppenheimer, or Looper. Other than wrecking ball, which is a toss up, or some rigged last elimination- Johnny loses.
Throughout the history of individual eliminations with repeat eliminations rounds, they have never changed the elimination at the final elimination. Duel 1, Duel 2, Cut throat, Gauntlet 3, 2, Battle of the Exes etc ===========
Bananas is good and he has proven himself in eliminations - but his best beat in an elimination to this point was Mark - who clearly was laying up in the last round of X-battle or T bone. Other than that, individually he has beaten Dunbar, Jordan, Issac, and a few others elow this caliber.

****..then what has Leroy done impressively that leads you to believe he would win....I'll wait.
Leroy one on one in an elimination against Johnny = Leroy would destroy him. He's bigger, he's faster, and he's stronger. As for what he has done - individually in eliminations - Leroy has yet to lose. Only in team situations.
Lastly, I never said Leroy could beat Johnny in a final, but he'd definitely squash him in an elimination. Johnny has a social game that most doesn't which is why he gets far every season, and the newbies feed into his game. Leroy made very easy work of Wes on Exs - beat him 3 times in an equivalent of pole wrestle. The same game on Duel 1 where Wes beat Derrick to win Duel 1. Johnny struggled to beat a 40 year old Mark in the same game 2-1.
Johnny is good but he and Kenny gets way too much credit on these blogs. Since Kenny isn't on this season - I'll defer except to say that individually Kenny still has yet to win ONE individual elimination. Again another strong social player.
Leroy will lose to CT in the wrecking Ball, but everyone on this season would lose to CT in that game, but from what I hear - it was very very close.

Thanks - you are correct. I made a comment perhaps that was irrelveant to prove a point. However, form a season speculation perspective ---- soneone stated it best, if Johnny had a chance to go in against a reasonable player, someone should have taken the chance on seeing in a tough elimination. Johnny is a final is always dangerous.

I'm a Leroy fan, but beating Wes on Exes is not the same as beating Wes on the Ruins or Duel 1. Wes then was in nowhere near the same shape he was in and has virtually no stamina. I'd be willing to bet every half decent guy on that show would've beaten Wes in X-Battle. Definitely Johnny, Mark, CT, Abram, Ty, Dustin, Dunbar, **** even Tyrie may have had an outside chance. Mark Long is about 6 inches taller than Johnny and has more muscle mass and still trains like an animal. A 40 year old Mark Long is not a 40 year old regular human. Mark at 40 is in better shape than most people are at 25. Unless the mission was straight climbing I would give Johnny decent odds to beat Leroy. Look at the kid's legs. Cara's look more muscular.
As for Kenny you're right in that he's not awesome at challenges or eliminations but he isn't just a social player. He's elite at finals. Not great...elite. One of the 3 best guys at finals in the history of the show with Landon and Darrell.

Why do people always put 'sorry' before their ridiculous opinions. Are you apologizing for your ridiculous opinion? I accept your apology.
I really don't understand why people think Leroy is so good, it's actually baffling to me. He's done nothing. I mean I think Leroy himself would be embarrassed by the people insisting that.

I think both of you are being equally ridiculous.
People who doubt Leroy's physicality or strength are delusional. I think Viegas would alter his opinions of Leroy if he's worked out with Leroy (I have.)I don't think any of you actually know Leroy and have a slightly shaded perception of him.
Likewise though, being "bigger (which Leroy isn't exactly "bigger" than Johnny, at least not to the notion of C.T. being bigger than Johnny) and being faster and stronger does not necessarily mean you will beat someone in an elimination.
I believe people need to stop undercutting Johnny's talent or success at performing on The Challenge.
There's more to Balls In & Oppenheimer than just being stronger. Preston would have beat Cohutta if he properly knew how to "truck" somebody, despite the strength mismatch. Same goes for Aneesa vs.Laurel.
Likewise, same applies to Balls In, you have to have an understanding of the match up and play off of what works.
Tug of War is also a tricky one, though the addition of the rope makes a difference and someone who is faster would have a slightly advantage if they do get the rope quicker.
I'm definitely team Leroy but that doesn't mean he's the best, nor does it mean he can't be beaten, and nor does it mean that other challengers are not comparatively just as good.
It should also be noted that Johnny's mentality toward the game and Leroy's are different. Even though I'm not friends with Leroy, based on what I've heard both in real life, on these boards, and on the show, it's possible he doesn't do another one of these.
