in my opinion.. 

Top Tier: Evelyn, Laurel, Emily, Rachel, Cooke, and Jodi

Above average: Sarah,Camila, Cara Maria, Theresa, Diem, Tori, Jillian, Susie, Brittini

Average: Svetlana, Paula,Jenn, Mandi,Nany, Jonna, Marie, Cara, Kimberly

Below Average: Devyn, Melinda, Johanna, Jasmine, Sam, Trishelle

Sucks: Katelynn, Casey,Emilee, Angel, Brooke

I personally would swap Diem and Paula, but other than that I agree with everything. 

Glad that you added Cara to the list, I feel like she is a solid competitor, but because she basically was throwing all the missions we didn't saw much of her. I really want to see her back, she did good on both the Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2.

I don't see how Theresa is above average, I think she is just average. I think Nany is better than her and even Paula. Cara is blow average IMO. 

I agree with most of your list though.

It's weird IMO, Camila and Emily S are between above average and elite, like rally grat, but just not on par with Laurel, Evelyn, Jodi, Ruthie, Holly S, and Rachel. Cooke would be at above average as well and I'd have Cara at average since I feel like she's only shown up and really impressed once. 

All this talk of this team or that team on Seasons would've done this or that. Like I said in a previous post don't want a San Diego domination/win, and the completely falsely titled "Rookie Revolution"? There's only one change needed and all of a sudden Seasons is completely different.

Replace Easy with any other guy from Fresh Meat and the tables turn dramatically imo. Fresh Meat isn't god awful, because of Easy, thus they don't go in to the first elimination against Austin. Austin Brooklyn and Fresh Meat make a vet alliance. St. Thomas was gonna roll with Austin before Fresh Meat came in last and then Easy beat Wes in that unfair elimination.

"He doesn't deserve to be here, he can't even climb a ladder." Thank you Wes, thank you.

Easy then ended up quitting anyway so what was the point of any of it. He acted all bad all season and like he accomplished something because he ran his fat *** through a hallway over a guy who weighs nearly 100 pounds lighter. Once he quit anything he thinks he did on the season was immediately smashed into pieces.

And now I hear he has the nerve to actually go off on Bunim/Murray over twitter because he didn't get on Exes 2. You're lucky you were ever cast for the show to begin with, which I can't understand, and the fact that you got on SIX Challenges. Add in you've brought down so many teams, quit on Seasons, and of course the G3 collapse. Just **** bro.

GOD I HATE BIG EASY. Sorry needed to get that out.

Ya the funniest thing about the whole Wes and Easy elimination was after the first round of it. When Wes jumped on the ground, forcing Easy to stall and walk over him, and then turned it in to a foot race.

I don't want to get in to too many "what ifs" but it was very close in that second round.

How funny/embarrasing for Easy would it have been if Wes' strategy had worked on that second round and then again on the final round?

I don't really care that Easy won it, it would've just been hilarious if he got beat by a guy half his size in a game entirely based on size/weight and that was hand picked for him.

Easy winning was completely just man strength and weight. I hate that he beat Wes.

I only wanted Wes to stay because after that first episode, when he sat all the new kids down and was just like screw you all and when Frank got in his face, I was so ready for the drama. Wes treats vets like children and messes with them emotionally/mentally, so I would've loved to see how he behaved with that cast. Would've been gold imo.

I don't care that Easy won the elimination, neither did Wes. It didn't mean a damn thing. All it did was make the season less interesting and screwed us out of some good TV.

People all the time are like "I have no idea how Wes pulled that move on Evan on the Duel." it's because he's good at what he does people. I know he never did anything much else on a Challenge, mainly because people learned to dislike/not trust him, but name a bigger/better manipulation play in Challenge history. Convincing the two biggest dogs to go head to head, for no reason? That doesn't happen. I agree tho CT no stupid DQ and Wes doesn't win it all.

People all the time discredit Wes based on "He did nothing after the Duel." I agree, but of course he didn't, if you look at the shows/casts he had after the Duel.

Post Duel, Wes didn't appear on another Challenge untill The Ruins, which is a 5 show gap, I don't think anyone really realizes that (let's see any member of JEK sit out 5 Challenges lol). He was on a team with JEK plus Derrick, who all hate him, and they were going to throw him in to every single elimination. Of course noone there trusted him and it was a bad Challenge.

Then Fresh Meat 2 which benefitted Wes, in that he had an entire group of noobies to manipulate. He of course started doing this and created an alliance. If he had just played his numbers smartly I don't feel like he would've ever seen an elimination. He got over cocky because he had so much power and made very stupid moves which screwed himself. All I'm trying to say is Wes showed he has manipulation game when it comes to a cast full of people who don't hate him/not trust him.

Rivals he had Kenny so JEK had no choice. He made it to the Final and got screwed because of the brand new Final format which basically had an entire day's worth of work/racing which amounted to nothing. So imo Kenny and him where the winners. In any other Final on any other show they had a 40 minute lead, it's over.

Exes he had Johnny who pretty much had all the power day 1. He got thrown into 2 consecutive eliminations to start the Challenge. He went up against a beast in LeeRoy and got beat no ifs ands or buts. No real excuse for Wes on this one, not a specifically good Challenge for him, but he did all right and I think he handled the whole Vinny/Mandy situation with class.

Seasons he was already showing the ability to manipulate at least one new cast, in St. Thomas,on the first episode. He got just got a string of unlucky things on this one. Easy DQing on the first Challenge thus immediately putting a vet team on the chopping block. Cancun won and of course CJ couldn't wait to get revenge from FM2. And then of course the bogus elimination round with Easy. Nothing really got started for him on this one, because he just got ******, but I feel like he woulda done well if he could have stayed a bit longer.

Then he won Rivals 2 and controlled it politically. And now we have to see for Exes 2.

TL;DR: After the Duel Wes was primarily on casts with either JEK or other vets who hate him/don't trust him. Of course he didn't accomplish much post Duel. He should have won Rivals 1 with Kenny.

I don't get all the hate with Eric. I mean yeah he's a terrible player and he's ****** over people but all the people he ****** over deserved it so is it really that bad? I don't get it.

Granted I don't like him either but that's only because he's Fresh Meat. Had he actually been on a RW Season then I would have no problem with him.

Nah the rookies didnt deserve to be handed a win and Camila deserved so much better than what she and the rest of her team got.

Well the Vets sure as hell didn't deserve to win so the Rookies winning was the best outcome. And no Camilla didn't deserve better. She had no business on that challenge(or any challenge for that matter) so Eric throwing it was really for the best. From then on the challenge would be dictated by actual castmembers for once and that was a good thing.

Just always hated the guy since FM1. Never understood why he was cast.

I hate to go low and attack the guys weight but I mean c'mon this is a physical competiton show. Who ever looked at the guy and decided he was fit for the Challenge deserves to be smacked, I'm sorry.

He comes on every Challenge with something to prove, proves nothing, and brings down the level of competiton on the show by screwing whichever team he's on. Idc about his personality, because he is so attrociously bad he's automatically a waste of a spot. I would prefer a complete wallpaper person, like JD, who can actually do basic physical requirements for a Challenge.

Like I said in my other post Wes put it best with him "He doesn't deserve to be here, he can't even climb a ladder."

I feel like over the years it became so poular to hate on Easy, that now the cool thing is to not hate on him. The facts are he brings nothing special to the show and he brings down the entire level of competiton on the show. There is no reason to me why he was ever brought on six Challenges. Way too much and it just frustrates me sorry.

I get the whole G3 thing is well in the past, and he's dealt with it. If you're defending him ranting and crying on Twitter to Bunim/Murray for not getting on ANOTHER show, or him quitting on Seasons, well I guess that's your opinion. The guy is just a joke to me.

If it had only been a few shows no problem. He just kept coming back and six was too much for me.

I get he can't screw anybody based on his preformance on the 2 Duels he was on, but any team Challenge and the team who got him is severely screwed.

It's still selfish of him to me to come on a Duel, because he's taking the spot of a competitor who could actually win Challenges and compete to win. He's also taking good competitors into the Duel and possibly beating them if he gets a game entirely based on weight, which is bs to me.

Whether he's screwing a team or diminishing what a Duel is really supposed to be all about, he's bringing down the overall level of competiton on the show.

Even if by some miracle his team can overcome him, and he makes it to a Final, we all saw what would happen. There's just no reason for him to be on the show to me period.

You know you suck at the Challenges. You know you can't physically do a Final. You know noone is gonna want you there and will be trying to get rid of you. Why do you keep coming back? He's just selfish to me.

Scenario: On Duel 2 Easy takes Landon into the Duel and gets that push game where they pushed eachother with the mats. Easy uses his size/weight and pushes Landon out eliminating him.

OMG the best competitor on the show is now gone and now we are left with a guy who can't do anything physically, because he's triple Landon's size.

What I dislike about Easy is that everytime he's on one of these he's like: "I lost 20 pounds and now I'm this new medium-sized easy, the old Gauntlet 3 Easy is gone so I don't understand why people are still throwing me in." - you suck in everything that requires you to be mobile, that's why.

And on seasons, when Brandon did not volunteer to go in, I completely understood. Easy DQ'd twice in three missions.

Big easy is arrogant, unless and the worst competitor ever. He should never be invited back because all he does is talk about how great he is then he just quits.

TY raskkii and Challenge17!!!! I knew someone on here would speak the the truth! LOL "Sucks at anything required to be mobile".

Just think back on all the Challenges he was on and then replace him with any other male human being, even Preston. All of a sudden shows like Cutthroat, and Seasons have a lot more competition to them. We missed out on a lot of good potential heightened competition because of that *******.

Luckily he was proably just about done anyway, and now the whole boo hoo hoo I can't come on and **** another Challenge stuff was probably the final nail in the coffin.

He probably thought Devyn was dat GOLDEN TICKET to the Challenge Factory LMAO. Sorry bro, she has a life, and your little 5 minute "romance" on Seasons didn't gain you as much respect/credibility from Bunim/Murray as you thought it would.

He wouldn't be as unbearable if he wasn't so cocky and didn't act like a big dog when clearly he isn't. He tricked himself into thinking he's a good competitor. Him losing weight is great and something to be proud of but I hate how he tries to shove it down viewers throats.

I feel that's why he behaves like he does too, it's because he's became so good at it that it starts to get to his head.

Wes would have torn Seasons apart. I honestly thought the season became boring by the second without Wes, but if he had won, I could see the drama and the headaches, and I would have honestly preferred that Austin, St. Thomas and Fresh Meat/Las Vegas work together. It was stupid to hand any kind of power to a bunch of bullies like San Diego.

Yeah the veterans did, based on their dominance. Camila deserved it for being probably the best female there, god I love how she berated Easy.

#Dead.

Big Easy not only sucks but he is an *******. He actually thinks he is good and that is the sad thing. He comes on every challenge saying he has improved and blah blah and actually competes worse. He was better on his first few challenges than he was on Seasons... 

What's the story with Zach kicking easys *** at a bar?

What's the story with Zach kicking easys *** at a bar?

Apparently Big Easy was being an ******* to Katie Doyle so Zach stood up for Katie. Then Easy & Zach were getting ready to fight so they both got kicked out of the bar and were fighting in the streets and Zach destroyed him... shocker

Zach talks about it on Afterbuzz.

It was in Louisville where I'm from. I almost went to see them that night too.. I wish i saw that haha

Well to be fair, Big Easy never did bad on Cutthroat. in fact, i wonder why they sent in him instead of Ty.

Lol field trip to see the easy get his *** whooped

HAHA of course Smile

Well to be fair, Big Easy never did bad on Cutthroat. in fact, i wonder why they sent in him instead of Ty.

Because they saw how Big Easy did on gaunlet 3 and were trying to get rid of him as soon as possible.
