Who has best endurance from girls, Nany?

I think Sarah, and after her I think Theresa and Nany are pretty equal.

I feel like endurance wise all the girls left are pretty equal.

I'm not sure about Sarah (and I'm a Sarah fan, so trust me I'm not trying to dig at her)...we saw her do fine on the Ruins which was allegedly only about a 5 mile final but then she died on a longer final in Cutthroat with people who were actually hustling. Her doing well on the Seasons final is a bit of misdirection, similarly to Zach doing well...both of them had a teammate that forced them into taking breaks and not motoring the entire time. Is it their fault that they had to stop? No...but they did benefit from it. Look what happened to Zach on Free Agents when he was paired with someone who was running the entire time...he died. I can be completely wrong, but the possibility is there.

Nany on the other hand, kept pace with Bananas when they were tied to each other and barely lost to Laurel on the mountain. She did have trouble on the bike though...so who knows.

I would KILL to see a mission with the five remaining pairs doing some sort of hall brawl like Rivals/Free Agents. 

And btw.

Remember when we all cried when Bananas/Frank were paired and we thought they were going to win but come to find out CT/Wes did? I say, at this point you never know. 

Why people bring up Cutthroat for Sarah bad side? She was sick?? Its like saying Abram sucks but he was sick too and Cutthroat was HIS season, he and Laurel outperformed all of them. Its was not like he was out of shape or something...

I don't think it is about knowing as much as it about making an educated guess. There are many factors that we don't know about. Who the final missions are better suited for, what shape the contestants are in physically and mentally. Diem getting cancer again can have affected Wes and Bananas. The difficulty of the final. But since the island Bananas has usually won.

Right. Sarah is much better than the others girls besides Jenna because we don't know how well she performs yet. I'd say Nany is next best...

Because it was a bad performance. She did get heat exhaustion but if you watch the show she straight up says "I'm not a distance runner".

It was an outlier performance and she's still really good...but CT backpacking Bananas was an outlier performance for him and it's still brought up. CT dying on Exes was an outlier performance and it's still brought up. She had a bad day and it brings her stamina into question.

I bring that up because before that final she stated that she wasn't a good long distance runner.

I know that she have work on her endurance, if her team make it to the final I feel like they can be strong contenders for the first place. I still think Bananas/Nany have what it takes to win.

I am not a Sarah fan, but I think it will be refreshing if she wins over Bananas.

So was Wes on Rivals and no one cares to give him the benefit of the doubt. Not to mention him and Kenny STILL would've won had they actually had a fair head start for their efforts on Day 1. He has since gone on to win another Final (although one of the less grueling ones). 

In my opinion, the favorites in a Final is Bananas/Nany based on their track record (Bananas winning 5 challenges and Nany's impressive showing last season). After that, Jordan/Sarah and Wes/Theresa are neck and neck for number 2, while Jay/Jenna and Leroy/Nia are unproven.

Didn't Abram and Sarah have same thing? So Cutthroat (finale) was 'outliner' performance for him too? I do not get where are u going with this...

as for Bananas being a backpack.. it was one of the most embarrassing thing what could have ever happen to anyone. Ofcourse people gonna bring this up. Its not the same with CT or Wes gassing out. Bananas have had those too(Rivals 2 finale mission)
Only thing what would have been worse is Bananas losing to Jordan in wrecking wall. Losing climbing challenge to dude with one hand? Wow

I care. I do not really consider that season Bananas win tbh. Kenny&Wes were better and MTV messed up. I think people are way too cruel towards him bc of that finale. I think Wes weak performance was FM2 exile.

I agree with the favorites for the final. The final is between Nany/Bananas, Wes/Theresa and Sarah/Jordan IMO.

But the way Nany/Bananas has worked together in the past I think they have a good chance of taking home the title.

I-m so happy but we do not know how well others work together. We have not seen it yet.

I think Nany is a good competitor and it already looked to me that she worked really well with Bananas on Free Agents. Which is why I'm annoyed that Bananas is on the challenge again and teamed with her. Even Nany paired up with Marlon from Portland would have been better and made more sense.

Anyway Cara Maria even said that Nany like Laurel is just naturally athletic. She doesn't even have to do a lot to be good.

 

My favorite part will be when everyone's back and allowed to tweet again then we'll really see where everyone is. Who now hates each other and who loves each other. I wonder how Nia got along with the cast. 

Define tasteful when dealing with Diem's edit for the show? How should they include it in the trailer without it coming off as promoting it or offending someone. I feel like everyone would find it distasteful no matter how they edit it. 

I would KILL to see a mission with the five remaining pairs doing some sort of hall brawl like Rivals/Free Agents.

And btw.

Remember when we all cried when Bananas/Frank were paired and we thought they were going to win but come to find out CT/Wes did? I say, at this point you never know.


I don't think they'd do it because the girls would get flattened especially by someone like Leroy or Zach

To be honest I think the only reason Bananas and Frank did lose was because Bananas got fat and happy (relatively) after two wins and thought he could just waltz to another one. I think if Exes or Free Agents Johnny had showed up to that one, it wouldn't have ended that way and Johnny is still in that kind of shape now. Of the guys left he is probably the most ready for a final just based on experience and the way he trains and only one other girl there besides Nany has even seen a final.

In terms of Diem, if I were BMP I would run EVERYTHING that I plan to show of her by her before they did it so that she could give them the ok. I can't even begin to guess what she'd be comfortable with them showing...I know it's unlikely and a lot to afford one person but given her situation and the social media voice she has to show her displeasure about the show I would give her whatever she wants (aside from it being the decent human thing to do).

Obviously I meant seperate the heats by gender. Wouldn't want to see little Jay and puny Wes get crushed by Sarah, Theresa, Nia, and Nany lol.

That would be great to see in separate heats

OMG! Me too! I can not wait! It looks so entertaining!

I want to see who (if any) did the AYTO people get into it with. I would be highly surprised if Simone played a quiet game.

Someone who watched AYTO answer this for me, are the 2 couples here legit exes, did they even date after the show or were they just "perfect matches"

They were not perfect matches at all. Brittany was obsessed with Adam from the beginning. She swore on everything they were a match. She was psycho about him. They had sex but he was always talking about how much he didn't like her.
As far as JJ and Simone go they liked eachother at first. Simone really liked him and let her guard down but he started to like someone else on the show which caused conflict. I would say they should be considered exes in terms of Bananas/nany, Leroy/Nia, Wes/theresa, Jordan/Sarah. To my knowdege none have officially dated after the show.

There's only one perfect match that was successful in real life, Ethan and Amber who are engaged and expecting. 10% success rate lol. But I mean I don't really think anybody on the show expected a real relationship to be honest. Plus you can be a perfect match but living I opposite sides of the country is pointless unless

someones willing to make a huge sacrifice.

 

on topic though, I can't wait to see who wins this final. A lot of promising teams except a Jay and Jenna to me

Adam & Brittany or JJ & Simone never dated, but the drama they bought together was crazy! I would say another good pair would have been Chris & Shanley or even Chris & Paige!

Bananas even said himself in an interview that he wasn't himself on Rivals 2 and he apologized to Frank for it.

Also Shanley and Chris were best suited for the theme because they actual dated and then had a bad breakup and now Shanely is like crazy.

Lol Shanley crazy now? Or you mean crazier?!
