Did Evelyn actually finish at Harvard?  I remember Susie implying on one of her podcasts that she dropped out or stopped going and was basically doing nothing in life.

I thought he got a call this time around and he declined it lol

I honestly have no desire to see Mark Long. Imo, completely overrated, and even though he's old af he's still a complete follower, and of Bananas of all people. Great abs tho.Also his logic makes no sense. Wants to come back but declines all the calls. Ok. You're like 50, you're lucky to even get a call.

He hasnt been getting calls, not sure about next season yet but based on reliable info I am not expecting him...

To be honest I hope he never comes back

Mark has had the chance to do challenges for like 20 years already, time to call it quits already buddy

While im hyped for the format for season 29 im not hyped at all for the male cast. Different challenge same bullshit. They should sit Johnny on this one after what he's done on Rivals 3 plus he already won. Why bring a champion to win back to back challenges  with no reason whatsoever when they are going to dominate again with such a weak sheep male cast.

I am really failing to understand how other males fail to want to take out Bananas. Yes, you can align with him and he'll bring you along until you're no longer use to him, guaranteeing you half way at least, but you will never win. BUT, every guy/girl who has stood up to Bananas or taken him out gains a huge amount of respect among fans of the show. Look at Devin, he didn't do shit on Rivals 3, but the mere fact that he TRIED or said he wanted Bananas out immediately made a lot of people like him. List goes on: Jordan, Laurel, CM, Wes, KellyAnne, etc. Anyone who goes against Bananas usually ends up being fan favorites and have a good amount of success on the show.

The problem is "numbers" you see whenever we get someone with an independent brain they get ganged and made the target of the season. If the cast as a whole wasn't full of sheep and independent grown men then things would be different. Like from JEK era (Duel 1,G3,Ruins) Johnny wasn't even part of the main alliance, the male cast was so strong that everyone had a chance to "turn the tides". And of those that you said Jordan is retired, Laurel would probably team up with Johnny if necessary or go agaisnt him but she is not a regular anymore, Cara Maria doesn't have the numbers on her side, Wes has his silver tongue but he is a shadow of his former self and KellyAnn doesn't have the "power" to overthrown him. Devin can say and go against John has he wants but he can't back it up. We need good athletes that can do the work themselves and for that Darrell/Abe are needed or new guys with independent minds that can perform but unfortunately we won't see it anytime soon.

Bananas is good at manipulate people Laurel said that on a podcast and look at the punk *** who try to take Bananas out now days ex: Cory and Dario, both ended sucking his feet and going home.

Very true. It's not so much that I hate the whole alliance portion of the show, it's that I hate that people don't act in their own best interests. I have a lot more respect for people who come in independently, make alliances with whoever (not immediately siding with Bananas or anyone, but whoever will help them most when needed), are not scared of eliminations, and have the athletic prowess to back it up. That's why players like Landon, Darrell, KellyAnne, Laurel, Jordan etc. will always be my favorites.

Please, the guy has been on 13 seasons and has proven time and time again he has no problem with ******* people over, especially females. I know Cory and Dario aren't the brightest, but it doesn't take a genius to realize he's gonna **** you over.

100%

i mean Cory was playing double agent but Dario is a punk *** who ****** his own alliance looking stupid.

Sometimes I wonder if people tend to side with Bananas also because it may give them a storyline that season or more screen time, which equals a higher chance of getting asked back for future seasons.

i actually would like a season with MOSTLY AYTO. really curious as to how that would playout

It's not hard to understand when you look at how it usually plays out. Most of the time Bananas comes out on top & those who go against him are on the losing side. Not only are you a target that season, but every other season after that. I think a smart move is joining Bananas side until the very end then eventually finding away to get rid of him before a final or before he gets you first.  Sarah did this on Exes 2 perfect even know it hurt her in the long run on Rivals 3.

Sometimes I wonder if people tend to side with Bananas also because it may give them a storyline that season or more screen time, which equals a higher chance of getting asked back for future seasons.

That's the thing, after Rivals 3, production can never paint Bananas as a hero ever again. Viewers won't buy that. I disagree though, people going against Bananas (and before, JEK) usually always get screen time! Wes, KellyAnne (on Island/Ruins), Ev, CM, Laurel, Jordan, Devin, etc. always get a lot of screen time and are wanted back when they go against Bananas, while nobody followers like Dario, Cory, Vince, Jenn, Nany, tend to fade into the background behind Bananas, at least in terms of the game. Any counter alliance to Bananas' ALWAYS gets screen time, even one as weak as Wes/Devin/Nate/etc.

What I'm saying is now is the perfect time for people on the Challenge, especially strong people like I mentioned above, to take over. Bruno, Cory, Tony, Zach, KellyAnne, Jenna, Marie, Averey, etc. if they all team together, Bananas would be so easy to get rid of, and with him gone, NEW STORYLINES! Can you imagine Smile

Hahaha he is never easy to get rid of. We watching the same show??  If it was easy people wouldn't be afraid to do it  or take a chance.

Hmm but people are even scared to send his old *** into an elimination ex: Cory and Dario.

Bishoff is right. It's not only that he's a good manipulator, but he's a great athlete and competitor on these challenges. People are intimidated by him and his 6 wins don't help it. THat's why people don't take the risk of throwing him in. Also, usually people that place last in a challenge go to an elimination, which are usually scrubs, so why take a risk you know you have a great chance of not succeeding?

Oh really? Because on the Island, they easily could have voted him out Episode 2 if they got their shit together, everyone hated him outside of his main alliance. On BOTE2, he was gone Episode 5, and again Episode 10 or whatever. Rivals 2, the girls were idiots and kept them. Exes, CT& Diem should've thrown them in vs. Ty&Emily, they could've lost there. On Free Agents, didn't matter who got last in missions. For example, CT&Zach could've easily chosen Bananas to go in when they won, then he has a 50/50 shot of going against either Leroy or Cohutta.  If it's Leroy, he's gone. Instead they choose Cohutta, who is obviously going to lose.

He's top tier in missions and finals, but his elimination record is  7-6, pretty mediocre. As long as you get someone decent in there for him to go against, there's a shot he's gone. There are plenty of opportunities and some strong guys that can do it (well maybe not on a season like Rivals 3 full of scrubs), people just don't pull the trigger. NONE of his elimination wins are that impressive.

You saw Rivals 3 didn't you?

I don know why people thing Backpack is some good manipualtor. Yes he's a good competitor but he's never really manipualted anyone into keeping him and that's because he doesn't have to: In most seasons he had his *** covered by having all of his friends on a season with him, production favoring him in some way, or people just being stupid and kissing his ***.

I've said his before but if he were in a season with independed thinkers who were actually good competitors he wouldn't make it anywhere near the final.

Diem would never say Bananas name coz they were real friends outside of the show (him and CT were only 2 people who knew she had cancer again), plus when there was Diem, Bananas & CT would always bark but never bite (Rivals 2), so on Exes and Rivals 2 only way to get him elimination was for him to be last in daily mision. On Free Agents there was no real psychical elimination where he would have some disadvantage, not even agains Zach (who is known to flop), only CT.

When it comes to big calls for elimination, CT & Bananas where best in that, they always waited last 2 elimination to put strong person in to ensure if that person comes back they cant hurt them in long terms. But with Wes/Bananas "rivalry", that was stupid, production made them gunpoint each other as soon as challenge starts.

Bad

Facts. examples: ex-iled twist and taking the money twist

I think people align with Bananas because they know he's good and the people aligned with him are usually solid so chances him or someone in his alliance winning is high which means if you're against him your going in everytime (Wes/Devin). I think most people's mentality is stick with his alliance until you can't anymore and at that point it's already near the final which is what Christina/Nate/Dario were doing. I don't think they all expected to make the final they just wanted to get far enough where they would have a chance instead of going after him week 1 and being sent home week 3. 

Also I really don't like Bananas but I dont think production favors him as much as people say.

A lot of what ifs in your comment, which you could say about anything on the challenge for that matter. Doesn't mean it would actually happen. Even if you don't like Bananas you should still at least give him credit for what he has done in the game. Also to say his eliminations aren't impressive is just dumb, a win is a win in my book. You must not think much of Ct then considering he took him out in a few different eliminations. I will admit i can't stand Frank, but i think he is a bad *** competitor & needs to come back to challenge Bananas. Even as a Bananas fan I want the best competitors on the show to challenge him.

If Ex-ile never existed and the final on Exes 2 was Wes & Theresa, Leroy & Nia, and Jordan & Sarah Exes 2 would've been one of the greatest challeges in this generation. Backpack returning ****** it up.

The Ex-iled twist was probably the biggest bs to happen on this challenge along side with the Bloodlines format always changing and the winner takes all the money on Rivals 3 they managed to make the most stupid top 3 decisions on a twist on the last three seasons lol.
