The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 - Informed Speculation (Spoilers)

[QUOTE=JEKFAN;427777]The only reason Exes had as great ratings as it did was because of CT & Diem. It wasn't the theme it was the relationship of CT & Diem being shown. Even friends I know who don't usually watch every season watched it because of them. I don't think Exes 2 will pull good rating unless that have some couples as popular as CT & Diem.[/QUOTE] Yeah I don't see it having any better ratings than the last couple challenges. If anything at this point it's pretty stale. But whatever I'm no media expert obviously.

"They would sit them down and tell them that it's the last season on the contract , that they need this season to be great in order for the franchsie to continue. I heard they did that For Gauntlet 3/Rivals/Exes/Rivals 2." Wait so they just threaten cancellation after every season, then?

There casting is just terrible … every season there are people that bring NOTHING to the show.

[QUOTE=Karisa502;427792]Lol, why not write write them a script??

I don't know if they do for real world or challenges, but I know for bad girls club that its produce by the same company bMP they have the so-called production puppet or puppets that would do whatever producer tell them to do. I have heard Wes and Beth were production puppets too, no idea if it's true.

BMP have those little talk with their cast I know they have done it for real world, Road rules, Bad girls club and the challenges.

Any news on Wes?

So did they ask ct and diem I hope diem comes

[QUOTE=Coralfan;426809]Trishelle does have other exes. Lol. The ones we know about are Mike, Steven, Frank, Brynn, Adam L., Eric (campus crawl), and Chet.[/QUOTE] Didn't Zach say on the reunion for Seasons that they hooked up.

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;427804]Didn't Zach say on the reunion for Seasons that they hooked up.[/QUOTE] Zach have more important exes (they would go with them before triahelle) than a kiss in the bathroom 3 days into filming with Trishelle, which was confirm by Melinda in a interview. She also stated that she didn't like Trishelle and that they had an argument that wasn't shown.

Zach has two solid exes who aren't even stretches at all. They wouldn't pick Trishelle as his partner.

Jonna nor Ashley will not say no to a challenge so Trashelle won't be his partner.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;427659][B]First - her name is Jasmine, not Jazmin[/B]. Second - not only is she a cast member and a person with actual feelings, but she is also a member of Vevmo. Please do not disrespect others with disparaging language.[/QUOTE] I have always wondered why people do this. Its like everyone on here clearly watches these shows and sees the persons name come up on the screen every time they talk or see their name on their jersey every time they are shown, so how do people possibly **** up the spelling of their name. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Jazmin, Zack, Derrik, Cara Marie, Camilla, Sara, etc.

[QUOTE=luvctanddiem;427799]So did they ask ct and diem I hope diem comes[/QUOTE] Maybe it's just me, but I've no interest in seeing CT/Diem paired up again.

[QUOTE=gamer73;427820][B]Rachel Robinson (Road Rules: Campus Crawl)[/B][/QUOTE] ****. I was hoping for Leah. Hopefully Rachel is a possible partner for Abram and not Darrell. Any word on Laura? I'm hoping for her and Trey.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;427822]****. I was hoping for Leah. Hopefully Rachel is a possible partner for Abram and not Darrell. Any word on Laura? I'm hoping for her and Trey.[/QUOTE] Rachel and Jenn could be a strong possibility if Jenn says yes.

[QUOTE=gamer73;427823]Rachel and Jenn could be a strong possibility if Jenn says yes.[/QUOTE] I keep forgetting about that pairing, hopefully that's the case then. Jenn/Rachel would be amazing.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;427825]I keep forgetting about that pairing, hopefully that's the case then. Jenn/Rachel would be amazing.[/QUOTE] Honestly as long as Rachel is cast I'm happy because it would mean we would be getting either Darrel, Abe, or Jenn.

Then I know of Trey and Jessica's plane kiss on the way to Rivals II but I see that Dustin and Jessica have also received 2nd calls. So who is Trey's partner supposed to be? Because they will pair Dustin with Jessica before they pair Trey with Jessica for obvious reasons.

[QUOTE=jojorules;425431]Jasmine with Isaac/swift. but swift most likely would be with latoya unless they really wanted to stretch and did latoya/Brandon because I think it was latoya flirting with Brandon on free agents but not sure if that was just on the aftershow thing or what. most likely latoya/swift and jasmine Isaac but jaz/swift is possible if for whatever reason latoya said no a Jaz/Isaac team has 0 chance at any success I can't think of what they would beat any other team in. Even something endurance or speed based.[/QUOTE] Also remember that Jonna and Issac hooked up so it could be possible to have three teams Issac/Jonna Swift/Jasmine Brandon/Latoya Either way, all three of those teams wouldn't make it far... :uncomfortableness:

No Jonna will most likely be paired with Zach.

If Trey is on Laura will definately be on for the simple fact she is his only Ex and they have no stretches for him.

When is the departure date?

[QUOTE=BeanTownBlaz;427842]When is the departure date?[/QUOTE] Departure is around the first week of/early August, according to PinkRose.

I didn't know this exist, wow
