The Challenge: Free Agents - CT Tamburello

[QUOTE=PinkRose;399329]I will go with Thomas because I feel like he have the brains that Cory and Jay are lacking big time lol I can't stand none of them but I don't see Jay being that great on challenges.[/QUOTE] Yeah this is why I would prefer Thomas over Jay. Thomas is a an annoying rich kid that tries to manipulate situations, and he ain't small either, so I would love to see how the other challengers would deal with him in the house. And Cory is kind of short. 5'10 isn't that tall but Cory is built. Brian seems a little shorter. And then you have Jay at 5'8 lol. Sorry for going off topic about these explosion kids though.

[QUOTE=TeamLandon;399318]I can understand why they cast Ty, they probably didn't expect him to be so zoned out on Rivals 2. As for Nate, we only saw him for one episode and he was hilarious. I think he deserves another shot. Zach and Leroy are fan favorites, Leroy's funny and Zach is really good looking. You may not like them but they will be needed in this new generation. And why do you have high hopes for Thomas?? He's a total bore. Now Brian, Jay, and Cory could bring something to the challenge.[/QUOTE] I see how Zach is needed because you need to have a huge dude in the house and ladies love him, but I'm not sure about people like Chet, Brandon, and Preston. Then you have other people like Tyrie, Dunbar, Ty and Easy who also get casted a lot. And like I said above, Thomas could definitely bring a lot to the table since he's so used to being in the "in" crowd and is an annoying manipulative rich kid.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;399313]Same height as Cory in their cast picture of them together they look the same height[/QUOTE] Really? Okay I guess I'm just really bad at judging heights then. This was actually your pic that you posted PinkRose. [ATTACH]4257[/ATTACH]

[QUOTE=PinkRose;399329]I will go with Thomas because I feel like he have the brains that Cory and Jay are lacking big time lol I can't stand none of them but I don't see Jay being that great on challenges.[/QUOTE] Thomas does not have the brains lol. He comes across as a complete idiot.

[QUOTE=thisismyuser;399370]Really? Okay I guess I'm just really bad at judging heights then. This was actually your pic that you posted PinkRose. [ATTACH]4257[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] None of the newbies in this picture look athletic at all.

I don't see Jay as being much of a challenge person, i'd love to see the TV tough guy Cory lose early too. But as far as CT, i was talking to someone on PM about it, but i think this is why CT is so popular in my opinion, it's because of his appeal to all the audiences. Now obviously not everyone likes every character, but he really gets a response whether it be hate or love from seemingly everyone. He definately makes an impact on how people feel about him and he never is just there so he knows how to get reactions. I think the fan girls love him because he is good looking and because the "bad boy" actually showed a soft side with the whole Diem story so that got that whole crowd on his side. While the guys who see the show as a sport, saw him carry JB like a backpack and Truck Tyler and Johnny at the same time which was probably the hardest hit so far on any challenge. So he appeals to the whole demographic really. He also is an unpredictable wildcard who seems to always be in an argument or fight and since he has fought before, you never know if he will actually hit someone again. He was a great character for the challenge, and if he isn't into it anymore, i'd rather not see him come back just for the money so hopefully he is into it if he comes back again. But either way he was fun to watch and i think he was in such good shape on a few of them he really got some of the other cast to realize they had to get into better shape to battle him imo because after Rivals 1 it was clear he athletically was on another level.

I have always find interesting how CT doesn't care about the whole recognition or "fame" he has on the shows, some of this people specially the new ones, die for atention, or like johnny who has his bobblehead and his t shirts, CT just seems to dislike the whole reality tv star.

Seems like CT isn't done yet, hopefully. [URL="http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/04/10/the-challenge-free-agents-premiere-ct-interview/"]?The Challenge: Free Agents? ? CT On Biggest Threat, Alliances & Backstabbing - Hollywood Life[/URL] "[B]HL: How long do you see yourself doing the challenges for?[/B] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]CT: You know, like I said before, I didn’t expect it to last this long. Until something better comes up, I guess, but I enjoy doing them! I think it’s fun. I never thought it was going to last this long. They want me to come back, I’ll come back in a walker and pacemaker."[/FONT][/COLOR]

I legit laughed at the pacemaker remark lol i just find it so weird that on Rivals 2 CT would be constantly tweeting about it and putting pics on Instagram related to it and now he hasn't said one thing about Free Agents other than putting his FA bio pic up on Instagram.

I think I'm at the point where I'm willing to make the bold statement that CT/Johnny is the best Rivalry all time in the shows. I understand that the Mean Girls/Tonya or Beth/Coral were big ones back in the day but if you think about it none of those have had the longevity of CT/Johnny (now closing in on 8 years) and EVERY challenge that they've done together they've had a storyline. Duel: CT is the mouthpiece saying that Johnny's going to be the first to go Inferno 3: Johnny is the most vocal about CT beating up Davis Gauntlet 3: CT is the ringleader of getting Johnny thrown in against Evan Cutthroat: Nothing more need be said Rivals: Johnny and Co. want CT out, they have the fight in the bar, Johnny sends CT home Exes: They were friendly, but again they go head to head and Johnny wins Rivals 2: CT tries to get Johnny in early, all is quiet until the end, they fight again, they go head to head again and CT wins I also think it's the best challenge rivalry because unlike Kenny/Wes (born out of personal stuff) or Adam/CT (started on the Real World) it's ALL challenge based and they both still have a respect for each other as competitors. I'd hate for one of them to quit before the other. I think a great way for it to end would be for them to win together.

I've always loved the respect they've had for each other. They'll get into huge fights but then can get along. I remember Mark said in an interview about Rivals 2 is that they got in that huge fight but then you see them hanging out by the pool.

They have respect for each other? What about all of the confessionals on Rivals 2 where Johnny would talk about how CT "is the type of person who exploits people's weaknesses" or how he can't believe Diem would get back "with someone like CT"?

Their beef doesn't go outside the Challenge house. Anyways I also agree with CT and Johnny being get best rivalry ever. They both need to retire with a win on a Rivals 3 challenge as partners. That would be perfect.

Them being on so many challenges together creates more opportunities for them to "go at it". But definitely not the best imo.

But definitely not the best imo.[/QUOTE] I think it's the best one that we have now, and it's the best because its all about who is the better athlete, most rivalries nowadays are about stupid fights on twitter, or lame drunk fights.

I was disappointed with the CT and Wes, I thought it was going to be crazy and hilarious but when we saw the episodes they got along and everything. I was expecting more of this [video=youtube;mXYPKLq6qyg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXYPKLq6qyg[/video] His accent "You can stap me. All i do is smash heads bro!" One the best scenes of all time.

[QUOTE=JayTee;402838]What about all those tours and events CT and Bananas did together? Their beef doesn't go outside the Challenge house. [/QUOTE] They get paid to do those tours together so of course they're obligated to be cordial. If I recall correctly, one of the main reasons that CT didn't get along with Adam King was because Adam was always talking bad about him behind his back...which is exactly what Johnny was doing on Rivals 2.

I'm pretty sure they play xbox live together. In CT's recent interview he said him and johnny get along outside the show. If you look at Johnny bananas blog, there are a lot of pics together in uruguay.

So what exactly would explain Johnny saying CT is "the type of person who exploits peoples' weaknesses"? Because I'm pretty sure if I was cool with somebody I would not be calling them a morally reprehensible person behind their back.

Remember these people play characters on the challenges. So he was playing it up for the cameras methinks.

Because I'm pretty sure if I was cool with somebody I would not be calling them a morally reprehensible person behind their back.[/QUOTE] CT is shady with Johnny too...any resentment of CT that Johnny has started with CT coming at him for no reason on Duel and Gauntlet 3. Them being *******s to each other is not a one way street. And for as many quotes where Johnny is talking bad about CT you have moments like at the end of Rivals 2 where Johnny was saying how CT earned the win and it was fitting for him to beat him. Athletically they both have plenty of respect for each other.

[QUOTE=toenails;402965]So what exactly would explain Johnny saying CT is "the type of person who exploits peoples' weaknesses"? Because I'm pretty sure if I was cool with somebody I would not be calling them a morally reprehensible person behind their back.[/QUOTE] I think you can point out someone's character flaws while staying on good terms with them. When Mandi was calling out all of Wes's (many many) flaws on FM2, Wes didn't deny any of them or take it personally. When KENNY said those same things, there was friction. If CT and Johnny are okay with one another than they can exchange some trash talk.

Even Kenny has fought with CT and said in an interview he has gotten along with him outside the show. Katie fought with Bananas on the show but said she gets along with him outside of it. I think they all just play it up more and plus money is on the line but once they are out in real life they actually get along and don't care.

Does CT have a gf back home? Why is he not running a train through the house like he did in Thailand? Are they not airing it?

[QUOTE=gbp02;404087]Does CT have a gf back home? Why is he not running a train through the house like he did in Thailand? Are they not airing it?[/QUOTE] I believe that the gf is Diem.

[QUOTE=gbp02;404087]Does CT have a gf back home? Why is he not running a train through the house like he did in Thailand? Are they not airing it?[/QUOTE] Yup, it appears that CT and Diem are still together (and prob since just before this challenge was being filmed). Fans have spotted CT/Diem together all over Nashville this past weekend, making out in bars, still very much together, etc.

How many more challenges do you think CT would do more. If there is a battle of the exes 2 CT should be teamed with Laurel and hopefully they win. I would like CT to retire in rivals 3 as CT and Bananas as partners.
