Why would they want to keep Svetlana over Beth? That part always confuses me.

I don't think Beth vs. Svetlana is a good example of rigging, but that's just me. It wasn't like the game was set up for Beth to lose and it wasn't like the outcome was predetermined. No nobody knew Beth would rip the flag. People always claim that producers loved Svetlana and her underdog story but she hadn't done anything up to that point to be loved or anything to contribute to the rest of the season. She avoided the first three elimination days because Tina wiped Beth's face, Paula was picked last as a Rookie, and a Robin wanted an easy win against Casey. It was Svetlana's time to go home, the cast knew that, the producers knew that, I still don't buy the excuse that the producers chose to keep Svetlana because she was a producer favorite. Did she make noise afterwards? Yes, but there's no way producers knew she would do that.

And I've never said this before, but if it were my decision to send somebody home or keep them after tearing the flag off, I would've sent them home too. Whether it was my favorite girls, Kina and Jodi, or someone I didn't care about, they should've went home if they ripped the flag off. Ripping it instead of i clipping it takes less distance, about a foot, needed to push yourself forward. I believe it was an implied rule before Beth vs. Svetlana and they made the right choice. I'll never buy Svetlana being saved because producers liked her.

Jodi vs. Veronica, on the other hand, needs no explanation. Veronica was a producer favorite, a drama gold mine, and rating grabber. Give an ex-dancer a twirling elimination and she isn't going to lose.

I'm really surprised there putting two sets of twins in the mix .

Smh you guys are so dramatic, wanting the show to be canceled because bananas might win again. At least you will precious new winners everyone seems to want. Bananas & Camila are the only confirmed winners so we are bound to get some new winners. Plus you never know, last season it looked like he would win it all and look what happened.
All we need is Wes & CT to be there and the team can afford to get rid of bananas because lets face it besides him cohutta and Leroy this guys cast sucks

This isn't meant to be rude, even tho it'll probably come across as such, but every day it feels like I read the same **** thing. If you guys can't stand what the show has become and feel the need to criticize it every other post, maybe stop watching? It becomes so tedious to read it constantly.

Does it really sucks? I feel like there is a lot of unknown factors. We dont know anything about Tony, Cory and Dario as competitors to assume they will suck. Two of them have been athletes all of their life and the other one can be a surprised. Just because they are rookies it means that they will suck, I wouldnt be shock if the 3 being atleast like Cohutta. To some extend we dont even know what kind of competitor Thomas can be. Btw leroy is not confirm to be in it.

As far as the other other stuff, I think its funny that people take w.e any user writes as facts.

Idk who Dario is, I feel like Cory will be good and I want Thomas to be good but I don't think he will be plus in a physical eliminatione's not much of a threat.
As for Tony I can't see him being good at all.

Does anyone else skip through all the pointless posts on this thread and only read PR's posts? Or is it just me lol Blum 3

You're definitely not the only one lol

I think people are looking down at Tony, but I have a feeling he would be descent time will tell.

I am just saying we cannot say it sucks when 4/6 confirm ones are rookies and 3/4 of them are first timers that we dont know anything about. It wouldn't be the first time someone surprise us (ex. Kimberly/Cohutta) or someone will let us down (ex. Mj/Dunbar).

You guys are not really helping here when I see every 10th post about this. 

It's still a discussion thread after all.

No i love reading chapter long comments about Nia and watch gif wars unfold.

Awwww this genuinely warms my heart, Nia met up with Jordan (He's in Atlanta for a while)..FYI: They are in his suite.

Every 10th post should be sufficient based on the 75 post yesterday arguing about the college Nia went to..

One can say and complain about that two times, but complain about it almost every two hours where you state that you skip "pointless posts" in a thread that's called a discussion thread is just as annoying, because your complain just become another "pointless post". Though that college discussion was annoying as ****.
I agree.

No offense this thread is starting to get annoying.

Right.... I think Nia needs her own thread 

Um.. Am I the only one wondering who is going to round out the male cast?

Who else is left? Is Wes still in the running?

I think Wes still might be considering he apparently likes to surprise people when it comes to appearing.

Wes declined due to the format. He's not a fan of mixing his "real life" with his reality tv persona. Barring a major change of mind, he's out.

I've actually heard the same thing about  Wes from a very reliable source. Doesn't mean he won't change his mind last minute, but he isn't comfortable/interested with having family involved in his reality tv life.

I do when I come on and have over 100 new posts. 

This isn't meant to be rude, even tho it'll probably come across as such, but every day it feels like I read the same **** thing. If you guys can't stand what the show has become and feel the need to criticize it every other post, maybe stop watching? It becomes so tedious to read it constantly.

Maybe you can just not read it?

They should drop Dario for someone else (Dustin, Wes-if he changes his mind, anyone really). I just don't see the point of having him on the season. Also, I see a problem with having it alumni vs bloodlines. The bloodlines will either get knocked out one by one like the Ruins or if it's the opposite and they turn out to be strong and win, you have a bunch of random people winning a season of the challenge. (I mean they won't be random after 13 episodes but still...)

When it's posted everywhere in the forum, pretty hard to avoid.

I like Dustin, but I am kind of happy I dont have to see him for 3 straight seasons.

I agree, I hate seeing people on several challenges in a row but come on, don't you think he would fit into this theme perfectly? Not only is his brother an MMA fighter but he visited Dustin on his season of the real world. Second, Dustin went home basically first/second the last two seasons so it's like he wasn't even on it. We really haven't seen him get a chance to compete/interract with other people. Also, he complained about not really fitting in, what better way to fit in than to have your brother there? Next, I would have liked to seen how he fit in with Tony and maybe even KellyAnne or Thomas. Lastly, Nany, Bananas and Nia were all on the last three seasons and Dustin is the freshest one out of the four in my opinion haha

i think pretty much everyone here wishes they would mix the teams! they could still have people go against their bloodlines if they had people pick teams like on cutthroat and had someone's bloodline go to the other team if they were picked for one team

Indeed.

I'm excited to see Dario, personally. I'm always excited to see Rookies because I like new competitors and seeing what they can bring. Am I excited about an entire team of Bloodlines? Not really, when I say Rookies I mean people I've actually had a chance to see on another show (Real World, AYTO).

I think people who haven't watched AYTO will like Dario. He's an athletic guy, he's kind of a *****, and while he can get heated at times, he's a really likable person and actually cares about other people. I wish he had another AYTO2 castmember on the season with him, but I'm excited for him.

So... Wouldn't this season just be considered like a Fresh Meat 3 just Vets vs. Relative Rookies?

That's exactly my point! haha. I'm always excited to see the rookies too. I'm very excited for Tony and Cory. However, I just don't watch AYTO so it just seems so random. Although, I did end up liking Adam but to have only one person on the season just feels a bit awkward? I understand he's a twin so that does work but with such limited casting spots why pick just 1 person from AYTO. Maybe if it was him and Adam or Dario and another guy or girl it would fit better. I may end up really liking him but I feel like if they are gonna cast him he should be on another season instead.

Don't worry...he most likely will.  Wink

I am in the minority because I like the male side a lot lol

Other than Bananas and even Cohutta, I dont know what to expect from the male alumni side so far since we have never see them compete in a challenge enviroment even including Thomas. I am tired of the same repetitive storylines of Bananas/CT/Wes/Leroy/jordan/Zach with his tantrumsv being a dbag and Dustin feeling like an outsider/going home early.

As far as Dario, oh well ayto is going to be represented on the challenges for now on. He is one of those people I didnt mind at all. Plus, I can see why production is going with him for this specific format.

I also am in complete shock that we aren't getting ANY girls from skeletons. Besides Nicole for known reasons atleast one of the other girls had to be willing. And all 3 made for amazing tv. 

I just really hope that with the rookies/semi rookies (Thomas) that they do not just cater to everything Bananas says. If Wes & CT are both not on this season then someone needs to at least try to get out Bananas. Depending on how they get put in the elimination I would even be ok if the Bloodlines tried to take out Bananas by putting him into the elimination. My only other thing is a really hope that we see Cohutta in the final. Actually one more thing, I think Cory could be a bust. He is big and people compare him to the new CT but I ht ink it would be funny if he went home early on.
