I'm not a big fan of the twist mostly because they won't show it on TV so I don't see the point in having a twist we won't see.

Agreed. Yeah it isn't hard to look it up on MTV but still it is dumb for viewers who just watch it on tv. Like they won't understand what is going on.

I'm sure it will get recapped before every episode, or maybe they've changed their minds about showing it online and will drop aftershows for a 30 minute special following each episode.


I hope they do it as aftershows. Yes its not hard to go on MTV.com but it's annoying to, I cant see most fans doing that all season.

The show should be an hour and a half anyways.

Please noooo... This would kill any reality show. The show will lose the viewers immediatly! Not even normal tv series have an episode that is an hour and a half. Finals/First episodes are fine, but not the whole show...

i HATE that Sad esp because mtv.ca (canada's site) doesnt put up everything

I imagine it'll go up on MTV's YouTube page as well. CBS does the same for Survivor.

I mean if there going to have an after show basically every week for 30 mintues they might as well cut that out and put the exile part making the show longer.

Hey the bachelor/bachelorette is 2 hours which IMO is awesome. I would be all for the challenge being longer but it won't happen.

Reading the spoilers, and I'm incredibly pleased. Honestly, this season looks like one to watch. It'll be interesting to see what kind of edit Jordan gets. Could he have humbled himself after making one of the biggest mistakes in Challenge history and went on to win the whole **** thing? On his third Challenge? Sarah, after being stuck with lame partner after lame partner, finally gets a good one. It's a test. Is she the one who's cursed? No, she actually wins.

The couples, eliminations, and the new twists should make this Challenge incredibly interesting and a step above Free Agents.  CT & Diem were taken out early and apparently Leroy sends Wes home in a neck brace? Those are moments.

I'm ready.

Not exactly "taken out" and hardly a "moment" that anyone should enjoy given Diem's battle

he didn't say he was going to enjoy them.

I'm not going to speak for anyone but I think the wording was off. "Taken out" imples that they lost in some crazy elimination that we should all be so lucky to see when infact Diem almost lost her life on national TV. 'Tis all.

Perhaps taken out was the wrong context, but considering how we actually know how they ended the game, I thought everyone would've recognized that.

And whether or not it's a moment we enjoy, it's a moment nonetheless. You have & will remember it.

I must be the only person who does it every season. I watch replays online, I go on right after the show to see if there's an Ex-ual Tension or something. I love the online content they produced for Free Agents, and this just takes it a step up.

90 minutes might be overkill weekly, even though it seemed like we had after shows after EVERY episode of Free Agents. I'm almost sure when the season premieres, we'll all be flocking online to see the eliminations (even though it'll be revealed the following week, I'm assuming).

Okay after the last posts of you and meelz, I totally forgot about aftershows...
 

Well usually an elimination round is usually just three - seven minutes (without commercials) long, depending on who's in it and how many rounds the elimination have.
With the exile twist, I think they can easily incorporate the Exile-Elimination Round on an after show and talk a bit about the rest of the show. It would also increse the meaning of an after show here. 

Here's what I'm hoping as far as edititng for the show with the exile:

The first episode will be a normal two hour premiere. Within the last few minutes after the first elimination theycut to behind the scenes of where the eliminated players are changing and preparing to go home like they did on FA aftershow. Then hopefully they did something dramatic where they capture the first pair and send them off to exile and then cut the scene, make it suspenful for the viewer to be like "***?". Then cut to the trailer.

After the second elimination cut to the second team being sent into exile the same way. Start the first episode of the ftershow, do your episode interview and then have a segment and run a clip of what went down when the first pair and second pair arrived to exile, introduce us to the rules and whatnot. Show us the entire exile on the aftershow, it doesn't have to be long just show us, it'll help your aftershow ratings. 

I know this season hasn't aired yet. But if the challenge gets picked up I wonder what they would do for challenge 27. I think it's time for cutthroat 2

Random question but when a cast member gets eliminated early like before the final do they have to kind of hide out until filming is done? Because this time around there were no pictures of people like Jemmye, Zach, Dustin out. I remember during FA there were pictures of people who met Jemmye and Frank after they got eliminated. Did BMP make like a new rule that they have to lay low?

i guess u didn't see it, but it was the same, I saw people that met and tag Dustin, jemmye and Jessica, so no I guess that didn't change

Oh well yeah I guess I didn't see it because it usually gets posted to here to confirm they were eliminated.

That's not gonna happen lol

I wonder if Jordan and Wes were in an alliance since both despise Bananas and are close with Sarah.

you have to remeber though, Bananas is close with Sarah and Theresa. It kind of makes me wonder though if Sarah turned on Bananas because they were working out/training together before this challenge so I'd think they had a preseason alliance but it doesn't look like they were working together based on who made it to the end.

lol Simone is still not following anybody from the cast. Matter of fact I think the only person from RW/RR/FM that she's following is Jenny. Maybe she doesn't care about Twitter like that but I would love to see if there's anything behind it.

It is Simone, I am sure there is something behind it. I definately see her getting into it with people.

Lol of course but it's like, **** you didn't get along with anybody  from the cast? She never struck me as somebody who really likes athletic type stuff...I wouldn't be surprised if she was one-and-done lol

Thanks for the insight , I completely forgot Sarah and Theresa relationship woth Bananas  but I don't think Jordan or Wes would ever consider working with Bananas , maybe it will be like the Aneesa/Diem type alliance on Rivals 2.

Good, one less ayto person

I think allainces went like this, Wes got all the new people with him so they followed Wes, jordan was probably also with Wes, I doubt Sarah and Johnny are that close and Im sure strategically they want johnny out, I dont think Theresa had much say in this, who cares about her relationship with johnny, shes playing for herself and shes on Wes' team not Johnnys so I can see her just following what Wes says cause maybe she realizes she sucks at the political game and Wes usually puts a bit more thought into his strategies and that way she can let him be the bad guy and just say it was his idea.  On rivals 2 it was a special case since Diem played both sides cause she was close with both but Diem/johnny/Wes go back like 10 yrs years all these ppl on here are not that close, and it benefited Diem to play both sides. Jay/jenna, Leoy/Nia followed Johnny, they managed to vote in the others the new kids were gone Wes and jordan were left. I still find it hard to believe Jay/jenna didnt get last place the last 2 eliminations (assuming last place goes in) I thought 4th and 6th place were shocking even leroy/nia comming in last 2x over them is odd, maybe Jay/Jenna dont suck that much

Leroy & Nia are strong but any swimming mission they are last in, unless somehow Jay & Jenna are both worse then Leroy at swimming

Sarah is close with Johnny, not as much as Diem. Also Sarah has kind of always followed JEK so I will be shocked if she turns on him. I kind of feel like maybe Jordan/Johnny didn't go after each other until they absolutely had to. They just had a big alliance like Wes/CT did with Frank/Bananas , they were working with the same people but not necessarily with one another type thing. But IDK.

Ya but both the last missions involved swimming? And I think Wes would probably win a swimming challenge. Im going to guess Leroy wasnt last in both missions and they were voted in or they were the exile team. I wish we had more info, Im still not sold on Jay/jenna making the finals lol

Maybe thats how it worked but I dont think it would benefit Wes and Johnny to work together, If Wes is working with the new people and Johnny as well as the rest of the cast then who is against who? If I was Wes I would go up to the new ppl and say hey that guy won 5x, vote him out now or you'll be targeted like how rookies always are targeted. And after what happend on FA I dont see Jordan saying lets burry the hatchet and work together. Another thing about Rivals 2 was that the girls controlled the guy vote so when the guys wanted eachother out people like Diem and whoever esle wouldnt do it cause they were afraid of the target on their backs, hopefully now theres no more of that and ppl can actually vote out who they want, and hopefully theres no dumb shit like the throw away votes on rivals 2. Thats why I think Nany/Theresa are dumb politically, they should just follow their team mates and blame them when ppl get mad.

Simone film this 2 weeks before going to the challenge, It's airing on Mondat at 10 PM on MTV. By what i heard she had a similar attitude on the challenge, imagine her doing that to Nia or someone on the challenge LOL

I'm also not sold on Jay & Jenna making the finals, I still feel like Theresa and Wes could've made it. Maybe they went to exile with Wes in a kneck brace, took out Bananas & Nany in a puzzle type exile, then Jay & Jenna went to the exile and were sent home by Wes & Theresa. Wes obviously wasn't that injured since he posted those Facebook pics and he looks perfectly fine.

I feel like her and Nia are definitely going to get into it and it's going to be so much fun to watch!

I feel like Simone was prob not taking the "rookie treatment" sorta like LaToya. If anyone I feel like she would fight with Nany because Nany has that "vet" attitude. At least Simone took out a team from what PR has been hinting
