I may be the only one but I am kinda still hoping it's Exes 2 mainly for ratings purposes. I don't want the show to get canned yet and if it's another low rating season that might just happen. Unless they come up with a really good theme that will be sure to drive up the ratings I just want the show to continue.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;430537]She's being bitter but I don't give a damn about if she said I was referring to her which I was not. My point was that some people continuously throw shade around here especially to mental and physical health which I don't take lightly. And Koer, welcome to Vevmo I didn't even know you were were here much less who you are. With that said let's get back to it not being Exes.[/QUOTE] What does throw shade mean?

[QUOTE=KIsOpenDoors;430548]Using passive-aggressive insults[/QUOTE] Thanks, that couldn't be more true Nostalgic. lol
[QUOTE=thefinishlin;430549]With the show being in it's 26th season, I doubt a couple of low rating seasons will get it canned; especially since MTV is so hit and miss with their shows.[/QUOTE] If ratings aren't good this year the show is in trouble IMO
[QUOTE=kvm1977;430547]It is still probably Exes but there's hope now for those that hate partner challenges[/QUOTE] If there wasn't a problem with the ratings I would be all for a big team challenge (preferably in the Ruins format) since I don't really like pair challenges either.
Why did Brian decline his call??? WHYYYYYYYYYYY
[QUOTE=toenails;430554]Why did Brian decline his call??? WHYYYYYYYYYYY[/QUOTE] I know right, he was all about doing challenges in the reunion and now he declines.
Wait hold the phone. There's a possibility that this might no be Exes 2? There's Hope for this season yet! Let it not be false.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;430513]Coral alone would drive up ratings[/QUOTE] She's not the only one. There many cast members that would. I thibk mtv knows that and that's why apparantly they are trying to get people who said no to yes.
LOL at people thinking it'll be a different format. If they change the format now it'll **** off a lot of challengers that deserve to be on another challenge like Darrell, Mark Long, Frank, Averey, Susie, Tyler, Cohutta, Riley, etc... because most of them already made plans for the next month or so since BMP dropped them. Free Agents and the aftershows were perfectly set up for an Old School vs New School format. BMP dropped the ball, again.

To them, the people are just kind of a number. Like PinkRose said, keep an open mind about the format, but don't get too excited. The best thing is to wait and see who actually departs for the Challenge and then figure it out from there.
BMP would be pretty wise to switch to a more basic theme at this point. Cory got screwed big time since production likes coming up with these specific themes that heavily restrict who they can actually use. I gotta think Cory would be better for ratings than Jay or Thomas would be.
I'm all for keeping an open mind about format and to continue speculating on different options, and I don't get involved with figuring out spoilers and inside info but.. I do know two people with reliable credibility and my only advice to people who don't like the Exes theme, don't get your hopes up. BMP is set in their ways and are already satisfied with the responses they have gotten to their original plan. At this point, BMP knows what the best format options would be and aren't willing to cut one of those themes out just because they can't get one or two of their individuals.

BMP dropped the ball, again.[/QUOTE] To be fair, Free Agents and the aftershows perfectly set up multiple possibilities. They created more Rivals (Not saying they would go right back to do another one, but the point remains), they created a lot of Exes possibilities (hookup talk during the aftershow), and they also set up an Old School vs New School potential. Hell, they could throw a curveball and do Cutthroat 2 or The Ruins 2 with a few new winners (CT and Laurel, most notably). Any way you look at it, people who are fans of the Challenge can come up with potential themes all over the place. At this point, it could be Exes or it could be one of many themes. I tend to back off on speculation of the theme and focus on the individuals dropping hints, then go from there.
[QUOTE=Youssarian;430587]They don't really care about making people upset or mad. To them, the people are just kind of a number. [/QUOTE] That just shows how ungrateful they are towards guys like Mark and Darrell who put this show on the map and helped make it this popular, pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me.

Otherwise why would they not cast Cory, both Jamie and Hailey, Darrell, Tyler, Frank (attempt), CT, Riley, Susie, etc...? Why the hell would they coincidentally have everyone that has been speculated have an "ex" or some sort on the show? Why would they cast Trey instead of someone like Tyler who is known to create more drama than little Trey? Everything adds up. And no, not everyone thought last challenge would be exes. Frank didnt have an ex, neither did Isaac or Riley (he does have one but didn't have one on the official cast). Theres really no no hope unless it's true that Cory got casted.
[QUOTE=Coralfan;430566]She's not the only one. There many cast members that would. I thibk mtv knows that and that's why apparantly they are trying to get people who said no to yes.[/QUOTE] I think too if some of the 'retired' vets got wind that their friends would on a challenge with them... I.E. Coral during the original Exes it might get a few more back. IMO if there was a challenge that was advertise showing Coral, Rachel, & Veronica all back I think that would def draw in some old time viewers and mix it up with some of the more popular cast members now like Cara Maria, Jordan, Bananas, etc...a good mix of old and new usually are the best seasons of the show. Also, I will sound very rude for saying this, so I don't want people to blow up at me, but 'casted' is not a word...it's just 'cast'. :) (I hate when people correct my grammar, but I work part time in that field and it's a pet peeve of mine lol :P sorry)
I hope Brad & Tori get cast. Even though their not Exes I like them lol And this cast could use a little competition!
Brad and Tori would be a breath of fresh air imo. We need some more vets on this, not just Bananas.

You genuinely never know. Is it ungodly likely? Yes. You're saying names as if people have already left. There's still a lot of time before now and the departure date. I never said that 'everyone thought the last challenge was exes', but the point remains is that we thought it had potential to be Old School VS New School and we were wrong.
[QUOTE=JayTee;430628]Brad and Tori would be a breath of fresh air imo. We need some more vets on this, not just Bananas.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I would love to see them compete with some of these newer players too.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;430626]I hope Brad & Tori get cast. Even though their not Exes I like them lol And this cast could use a little competition![/QUOTE] They should stay home, a happily married couple on exes that's worse then people who kissed once IMO. Plus Brad got a lot skinnier and Tori's had a kid so they wouldn't be the same.

There are many women who have kids that look, feel, and do better than women who don't have kids!
[QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;430606]That just shows how ungrateful they are towards guys like Mark and Darrell who put this show on the map and helped make it this popular, pretty sad and pathetic if you ask me.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but what? I don't think you can even say that Mark or Darrell that made(or even helped) this show popular considering that Mark didn't really do that many challenges during this show's prime and Darrell was barley shown in all of the challenges he did. I would say Miz and Coral made this show popular more than they did to be honest.

Darrell is like a modern Leroy, just a better competitor.
[QUOTE=nevidcm;430557]I know right, he was all about doing challenges in the reunion and now he declines.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say he was all about it. He raised his hand when asked if interested but in several interviews he said it depends on what he's doing at the time and how much money they offer.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;430633]Ummmmm just cause she had kids doesn't mean ****! She's still very fit. There are many women who have kids that look, feel, and do better than women who don't have kids![/QUOTE] Still Brad has gotten much skinnier.
