Upon arriving to location, returning champions Johnny & Camila will draft the teams. Camila will select one male, who's female counterpart will join Johnny's team, and Johnny will select do likewise selecting one female who's opposite will join Camila.

The winning team's captain is safe; the losing team's captain will be automatically sent to The Dome.

The players sent into elimination will be joined by their exes on the winning team. Despite being on opposite teams, players will be forced to work together.

[QUOTE=nevidcm;440360]I love this format, it would make Exes so much better. [B]I feel like the Green team has this in the bag though.[/B][/QUOTE] On paper, I agree. But, this season revolves around some seriously heavy strategy with the captain nominations, vote wrong (and depending on the elimination) you might just lose a strong competitor or two.

[QUOTE=melm3;440363]The rules and format seem like a total mind ****. It'll definitely be interesting. Season summary?[/QUOTE] Thanks! I think it would be an awesome format, so much better than another season of pairs (even if there are paired eliminations, but still). I might do a summary in a bit :)

So the winning team captain is safe and must chose someone else of that gender to go into The Dome from their team? And the losing team captain automatically goes into the Done and then their ex joins them? So is the final still in teams or in pairs?

The winning team then selects another person from the losing team to go in. Let's say it is episode 1, and it is a girl captain day. The [COLOR="#40E0D0"]blue team[/COLOR] nominates [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR] as their captain, [COLOR="#00FF00"]green[/COLOR] nominates [COLOR="#00FF00"]Laura[/COLOR]. At the mission, [COLOR="#00FF00"]green[/COLOR] wins, meaning [COLOR="#00FF00"]Laura[/COLOR] (and [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Trey[/COLOR]) are safe from elimination. [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR], as the losing Captain, goes straight to the Dome. Back at the house, the [COLOR="#00FF00"]green team[/COLOR] hold a deliberation vote to decide another girl from the [COLOR="#40E0D0"]blue[/COLOR] team to go into the Dome against [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR]. The team votes and the majority goes with [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Jenna[/COLOR]. TJ then announces the twist. [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jordan[/COLOR] and [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jay[/COLOR] will be also be going to elimination and they will have to work together with their exes, [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR] and [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Jenna[/COLOR]. So, the Dome match is [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR] & [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jordan[/COLOR] vs [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Jenna[/COLOR] & [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jay[/COLOR]. Let's say [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Nia[/COLOR] & [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jordan[/COLOR] win. That means, the [COLOR="#40E0D0"]blue[/COLOR] team will lose [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Jenna[/COLOR], and the [COLOR="#00FF00"]green[/COLOR] team will lose [COLOR="#00FF00"]Jay[/COLOR]. The final is still in teams. 4 pairs of Exes make it to the end: A possible scenario could be: [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Blue: Camila KellyAnne Nia Trey[/COLOR] vs [COLOR="#00FF00"]Green: Johnny Wes Jordan Laura[/COLOR] or [COLOR="#40E0D0"]Blue: Darrell Dustin Hailey Melinda[/COLOR] vs [COLOR="#00FF00"]Green: Rachel Jessica Thomas Danny[/COLOR] So on, and so forth...

I might do a summary in a bit :)[/QUOTE] I love this idea! It's really cool. But I have to ask how are Leah and Darrell on the same team? Is her "ex" CT? I've noticed people saying Leah/CT as Exes but I never understood that. I know MTV likes to stretch, but they were always more Rivals than anything else. I guess I've never understood how they can even stretch that to make them exes. But still, love the concept!

It is an ENORMOUS stretch (their kiss at the Paris reunion), but I like Leah, and people seem to think CT is a requirement so I went with it. I originally had CT/Anastasia and CT/Shauvon at one point but changed it right before posting.

I mean I would hate to help my Ex win eliminations then lose the final. Also, no need for male/female days since pairs are still going in. This way it furthers strategy on who to pick as captains.

But I like it![/QUOTE] Yeah, I considered dropping the gender day requirement as it isn't necessary. I like the idea of them remaining in teams as it puts more tension in the game (you battling your Ex), but I understand why it would be frustrating.

It's also a little sticky because if your Ex on the other team is captain and your team wins, you're going into the Dome. So if Jonna is captain of one team and Camila is too, Zach would want the other team to win so Jonna is safe and also saving himself. If he helps his team win, he's putting himself in the Dome.

Cutthroat 2 Females: Anastasia Miller Aneesa Ferriera Brianna Taylor Devyn Simone Camila Nakagawa Cara-Maria Sorbello Heather Cooke Jasmine Reynaud Jemmye Carroll Joi Niemeyer Jonna Mannion Nany Gonzalez Naomi Defensor Nia Moore Sam McGinn Males: Adam Royer Cohutta Grindstaff Cory Wharton Chris Tamburello Dustin Zito Frank Sweeney Isaac Stout Knight Ryan J.D Ordonez Jay Dibendetto Johnny Reilly Jordan Wiseley Thomas Buell Wes Bergmann Zach Nichols Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands Finals Location: Glasgow, Scotland

I would love another Cutthroat. 3 teams was very interesting. The secret voting may need to change though.

[QUOTE=Npresh24;440652]Finals Location: Glasgow, Scotland[/QUOTE] I always see Glasgow and Scotland as locations for these challenges and being from Glasgow myself it always makes me laugh. Only have a finale here if you want it to be the greyest, most depressing final ever. Lots of fields though I guess.

[QUOTE=Challenge 17;440672]I disagree, why should a team need to risk a strong player when they have anchors. like how Katie and big easy were voted in twice in a row[/QUOTE] Brandon was not an anchor at all on Cutthroat, he was the whipping boy just because he wasn't part of the inner clique on the red team. There was nothing he could have possibly done that would have been good enough for his team to give him a break. Systems like this let mob players and political masterminds skate all the way through which gets rather frustrating and predictable after awhile. This is why I would love to see the scoreboard used in Battle of the Sexes return. It would be nice to see a format like that used again that holds all competitors accountable based on how they perform in the missions.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;440707]And bottom two scores of each gender go into elimination.[/QUOTE] Watching the worst 2 of each gender every week isnt exciting, that makes bad elimination rounds. If that happened then people like laurel and Emily would never go in to elimination. And bananas would make the final and probably win again.

[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;440729]Points can change weekly. Say Emily DQs once or twice, she could very well end up in elimination.[/QUOTE] True but if they did bring the scoreboard back I'd rather see the top 3 for each gender vote someone to face the person with the worst score.
