How is Cara overrated? No one has spoken very highly of her as a competitor or anything. I'm curious how Cara/Cooke will do as well, but most people are just interested to seeing how she does, especially, because she isn't paired with Naomi now.
Does everyone think with knowing the teams still left that on the male side they are using knight/preston as a patsy for the last male elimination?
I was just watching one of Cara Maria's youtube vids about exes and she said the schedule is;Mon: Challenge Tues:Elimination, Wed: Interviews, Thur: Challenge, Fri: Elimination, Sat: day off, Sun: Interviews. I think that was the same schedule for rivals 1, Not sure if thats the schedule this time since Nany was on a plane on Monday so I dont know why theres a 3 day gap if she was eliminated that Friday. Dont they send them to the hotel right after the elimination they do interviews that night then send them home early next morning? Actually it might not be a 3 day gap considering flight times and time zone changes. The guy elimination might have been yesterday so the guys might have just got home now, we better not miss the last mens team, I dont want the suspense of guessing between 4 teams.
[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;342952]Johnny was whining about not being on Seasons and telling everyone to boycott. Frank replied with "the challenges don't give a 401k" or something like that. Some "rivalry".[/QUOTE] The thought of those two being on a team together would be great. But I have a feeling this will be like freshmeat 2, except the main focus being team frank vs team bananas vs evernyone that is not for either. LOL and I thought the only reason they didn't do seasons was Keywest didnt have a second girl to do it. Svetlana said she won't return and Janelle is MIA, even though she professed she was gonna come back.
Stoked that Nanny/Jonna are gone! As Rivals was a four team race with the last place team getting $0, it's now down to the exciting part! Predicitions: Paula/Emily will fly through any challenge with their combined endurance and strength. This was never in question. Woot! Camilla's experience in the finals might help Jemmye finish, although they might be hard pressed to beat Heather and Cara. Hate to say it, and I hope I'm wrong, but Aneesa's last showing in a Final was weak at best...Which might lead to a $0 reward or DNF. Having said that, with the talk of her being at the top of her game, coupled with Diem's heart, might make them contenders. Going to be a killer battle for the women! For the guys it's a different dynamic altogether... Johnny and Wes's teams are powerhouses. With plenty of finals under their belts these two teams will likely be the two duking it out for 1st & 2nd. Distant third Jordan and Marlon. Thanks for coming out Knight & Preston!
I'm not in love with Cooke but the reason I'm personally excited for her is because she's a new female and of course her background in Soccer at a high level is pretty well known. No one yet knows how she's going to preform but there's potential there and I'm a big fan of any highly competitive legit female. If there's a chance for a new beast female competitor being added to the show I'm all for it. Her personality on LV2 was certainly not that likable and admittedly most females who display her type of attitude and behavior are instant turn offs for me (snotty and whorish). There's something about Cooke however that just wasn't as bad for me personally as other similar girls have been. I'm not even entirely sure what it is about her that makes her tolerable but I just didn't mind her as much. Maybe if she had been an original cast member and we saw more of her I would have a different opinion. A huge reason I'm rooting for her at the end of it all though is because I see her and Cara as being the most legitimate threat to Emily and Paula who are going to crush this show. I don't hate Paula but it would be annoying to watch her sail to victory on both Rivals by getting an elite partner both times. A lot of the female's side of things has lost any sort of suspense or interest for me seeing how dominate of a team Emily/Paula will be so Cooke and Cara are my only hope for creating any interest for the female's on this show for me.
Who the heck is Cara? Her name is Cara Maria, you guys.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;343047]Could have easily been done while they were in Portland[/QUOTE] I agree, but why wait until now to post it? Could be coincidence.
[QUOTE=Blue123;343049]I agree, but why wait until now to post it? Could be coincidence.[/QUOTE] That's my guess as a tie-in to the show.

I'm sure there will be 10 elimination rounds, 5 guy teams and 5 girl teams will be eliminated leaving 3 guy teams and 3 girl teams in the final challenge. They aren't going to make half the cast go to the finals, that is the point of the final for less people to be there then not. If there are 4 teams of each sex in the finals I will be very surprised. I am predicting 3 guys and 3 girls.
You're right - my bad, I totally misremembered. The next round of fem eliminations will be pretty brutal!
Last male elimination later today(/tomorrow depending where you live) Departure for finale in 2 days..
[QUOTE=LexBlair;343195]Last male elimination later today(/tomorrow depending where you live) Departure for finale in 2 days..[/QUOTE] So what have they been doing all week? Last girl was eliminated Sunday or Monday, or maybe they were traveling Monday-Thursday, and the final is tomorrow. Did they travel 3 times in rivals 1? seems like a waste to travel, do the last elimination then travel again for the final
[QUOTE=Blue123;343196]Did they travel 3 times in rivals 1? [/QUOTE] Yep. Costa Rica - Buenos Aires - Patagonia
In the next episode of Real World Portland, Jessica and Ana get in an argument
Anyway....is filming over? [ATTACH]1936[/ATTACH]
[QUOTE=Lola88;343292]Anyway....is filming over? [ATTACH]1936[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]Like I said, they departed for the finale today. and like some others said here before...airport = access to the internet...;[/SIZE] _________________________________________ Scrap that... hearing contrasting things
Jessica was asked who she would get along with of the RW cast members she knows and she said these ppl, and she hasnt officially met any of these people so thats like giving away the fact thats she was on the challenge "Diem for sure, Aneesa, Johnny Bananas, Wes, Theresa idk I get along with most people I meet." Wonder how alliances are working since she was sent home but since the fact that she said Johnny and Wes, then thats further proof that Johnny/Wes may be working together and I'm sure Aneesa/Diem are with them
Honestly, if Johnny, Frank, CT and Wes were working together then what was the point of this challenge...
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;343315]Honestly, if Johnny, Frank, CT and Wes were working together then what was the point of this challenge...[/QUOTE] We can hope they left Zach out of the picture, maybe the vets controlled most of the game and Frank is there by default. I bet MTV wanted everyone against CT/Wes and statistically Wes goes in eliminations a lot so they were hoping to get CT in there too, lol even on the last rivals Wes/Kenny controlled the whole house and they still went in half of the mens eliminations but they should have just made them be forced against one another like on gauntlet or something
I am obsessed with Johnny but I am annoyed of him winning... Does he deserve it? Yes but do they cast people who challenge him...NO.... He plays a great game stratricially and politically but competition needs to be thrown in even know i love him to death. For some reason the real world las vegas brought the real world but nothing else did.... even the challenges.... ill never give up on the rw/rr challenge considering ive been a fan since i was in seventh grade... but i will always love/support the real world

I think Trey & Zach will be on Johnny & Frank's side but will get screwed over by sending them in. CT & Wes will probably have Diem & Aneesa, Dunbar & Tyrie, and Marlon & Jordan (because Wes likes to pick up all the rookies), While Johnny & Frank will have Trey & Zach, Knight & Preston, Jemmye & Camila, and Paula & Emily with Nany & Jonna in the middle.
Don't be surprised if Marlon/Jordan take out CT/Wes.
[QUOTE=theman23;343338]dont be surprise if marlon/jordan take out ct/wes[/QUOTE] I would be surprised, depends on the elimination though, why? is that your indirect way of saying that they already did?? Cause Id be pissed if that happened, they need to take out Frank/Johnny not CT/Wes
[ATTACH]1955[/ATTACH] I wonder where/when does her team elimination fit in now! P.S: I already tried to send it to a mod, but didnt went well.
[QUOTE=GDInstall;343346] I wonder where/when does her team elimination fit in now! P.S: I already try to send it to a mod, but didnt went well.[/QUOTE] Probably between Zach & Robb's teams, we've been saying she might be eliminated for a while now, there is also still the possibility that filming is over but no one else has been spotted yet.
Are they having 4 male and female pairs in the final
