[QUOTE=hannamez8;431126]Campus Crawl[/QUOTE] I never knew they were on the same season. That would be a ****** team.

YES!! She is my all time favorite cast member!!! [QUOTE=Coralfan;430892]Well I would be happy to see Alton. Hopefully he said yes and maybe they convinced Irulan to come out of retirement.[/QUOTE] I think they would def be a power team, had Irulan not gone again Sarah G in the gauntlet, I think she would have seen the final that season. [QUOTE=juustintime;430904]I want to see Road Rulers come back. I'm still mad at BMP for dropping Darrell, Derrick, Katie and Rachel as the Road Rules team on Battle of the Seasons. They would've given Team San Diego a run for their money. I want to see Darrell and Rachel come back so bad. It'd be awesome to see Darrell get his fifth win![/QUOTE] I was pissed about this too. Fresh Meat should have been dropped. [QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;430907]I have hope that something good is in the works. August 5th is still far enough away that there's time for a miracle to happen. Darrell/Rachel and Steven/Trishelle would be enough to shut me up![/QUOTE] That would shut me up too... :)
If Darrell and Rachel were to appear as a team that would be great. I can see Rachel target Bananas since he targeted her on the first exes for something that happened on The Island.
I don't think Darrell would target Bananas though. They were allies on The Ruins.
I just hope with this being a Battle of the Exes 2 the eliminations are broken up into categories like on Seasons-- Physical, Endurance, Strategy, and Mental. That could make for some interesting eliminations.
I wish I never saw that tweet Rachel tweeted to Darrell. A Darrell and Rachel team is too good to be true and just reminds me of how stupid BMP is when it comes to giving some old vets another chance.
I too hope Avery gets on this challenge. Rachel/Darrell seems pointless IMO.
To see a Darrell/Rachel, Alton/Irulan, Steven/Trishelle, Danny/Melinda would be so refreshing. Let us pray.
I like/hated the idea of the elimination format on BOTS2. Probably because everything except the hall brawl elimination was complete aids. But we will see.
Ill most likely get flak for this but I'm actually really excited to see Danny back (if this holds true). I used to not be able to stand him the first couple times I watched gauntlet III and fmII but I kind of like him now, not sure what changed.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;428723]Brad and Tori in the end were right about Camila. They said Johnny was doing it with the girl and didn't trust her because of it. It's been revealed here after the fact that they did in fact hook up on Cutthroat, and you can see how psycho she was over the guy on the first Exes. Hence why when someone who you don't know has that big of an obsession you can't trust. Which is why it wouldn't shock me to see them paired up again[/QUOTE] Her personal issues in that part of the game had no bearing in the challenges whatsoever considering the fact that she outperformed the hell out of every single red girl time and time again, including Tori. Let's be honest here, they were looking for any and every reason to justify throwing her in every single time. They did it with Brandon and they did and were going to continue doing it to Camila. Paula's words "Brandon was going to go in every single time". They played a smart but scared and cringe worthy game. The amount of backlash they received after it was well deserved, but hey as long as it's for the almighty dollar that's all that matters at the end.
I wouldn't mind seeing Casey again, either. I was wondering where she's been. Is the possibility of Cohutta and KellyAnne impossible? From the handful of pages I've seen mentioning KellyAnne, there's been no mention of Cohutta. I'd love to see that. And like mentioned above, Mallory would be a welcome sight. Frankly, it'd just be nice to see her again and get a glimpse of her personality. All I remember is her hiding from the cameras so they wouldn't see her and Ace kiss.

[QUOTE=thomas82393;431148]I like/hated the idea of the elimination format on BOTS2. Probably because everything except the hall brawl elimination was complete aids. But we will see.[/QUOTE] I loved that format. Knot So Fast is one of my favorite elimination rounds.
[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;431160]You forgot to mention that her return would also mark the return of her beauty :love_heart:[/QUOTE] Haha, yes, of course that as well. I was actually surprised to read she was interested in a challenge, considering, to the best of my knowledge, she has never been on one and it's been years since we've seen her. Also, on a side note, I saw Nany and Bananas listed as a potential team? When did this go down? I usually have a good memory in regards to RW happenings. Was this an off-camera thing?

If you look at every single mission, nothing she did could be looked at as extraordinary, unlike say Laurel in that cup and ball thing they had to do that no one else could do. Camila made the big mistake of not only doing it with Johnny, but then voting in the one guy on the team no one would be crazy enough to ever try to send home knowing his experience with the show, thereby making it seem like she was trying to send him home because of Johnny. AKA Camila had a big head and rubbed her team the wrong way. Look at her on the first Exes, that whole "me and my partner run this game" after only 1 episode. I hope she's not on this one again
Yeah, I'm surprised Kelly Anne didn't do anything after being so memorable on her first two opportunities. She was definitely someone who a lot of people pegged as a future star. Not quite at the Emily/Laurel/Evelyn level, but not too far off. And then she never did another Challenge. I wonder if we'll ever learn the reason why Sydney was sent home on Seasons. I think we can all dismiss the speculation about Isaac having a medical problem that made him hard to insure, now that he was on Free Agents.

I hope she's not on this one again[/QUOTE] Gas Problems: First team in her heat to make it out before everyone else(with Dunbar). Brain Buster: Forced to sit out, NA Bed Head: 1 of only 4 women to make it across without any assistance, also happened to be the shortest of those 4 by far. Bottleneck Stampede: finished first with Mel and Paula Surf's Up: fell off with Tori but still ended up getting to the bell before Tori. Sky Hook: Forced to do nothing, NA Gimme A Hand: Provided a great base for Tyler, together they banked a great time. Was put up at risk 3x for her teammates in eliminations, handily beat two below average competitors and came closer to beating Laurel than probably anyone else there would come. So that performance is "nothing special" yet you consider Laurel's to be an absolute gem, extraordinary, all because she put a ball in a cup in a challenge that Camila didn't even participate in. Your standard for "extraordinary" is unrealistic, one competitor is only one competitor, the way the challenges were formatted make it hard for one competitor to turn the tides, which is why it was a team game. She performed at the top level almost every single challenge except the ones that she wasn't even allowed to perform in, provided an elimination "buffer" for her teammates by going in 3x and came closer to beating Laurel than probably anyone else would have. I guess if Camila, by performing at the top every single time with no real whining, complaining, crying and by being an excellent team player(in the challenges) did nothing "extraordinary" then I guess everyone else there must have sucked. Laurel up until they met in their tightly contested elimination round(and yes, it was tightly contested despite how invulnerable Laurel wants to make herself seem) didn't do anything that could be accurately assessed as appreciably better than Camila. In fact, Laurel fell in Bed Head, unlike Camila. And no, if you watch the clip, Camila did not need anyone to grab her arms with the way she landed you could tell that she was going to make it unlike say...Ayiia. Laurel probably has Camila in Surfs Up but Laurel was also partnered with Sarah while Camila had Tori and it's hard to say who was responsible for them falling off the board. There was nothing innately wrong with Camila voting in Brad. Brad was no Derrick, Abram, Johnny performance wise, so just because he has "experience" in the game doesn't mean he is a good teammate and therefore doesn't make him immune to a vote. He, unlike Camila, was never up in the line of fire for his teammates elimination wise, contributed nothing both in the challenge or team morale basis except constantly **** on Brandon and lie to his teammates. The only "mistake" or "wrong" she made there was her underestimation of how psychotic and immature her teammates would react to something so harmless. Camila was going to go in every single time regardless of her relationship with Johnny just like Brandon. The whole Johnny thing was just used by Brad and Tori to save face so that they wouldn't look like such *****holes.

[QUOTE=JayTee;430825]So because someone is tall they have an advantage in the challenge? So is Robb better than Riley? I would take Trey over Robb anyday of the week. Trey played college ball and can maneuver around fairly quickly, plus he has some size even though he's a manlet. Meanwhile Robb is a smoker, lanky as hell and can't make decisions for himself.[/QUOTE] Wow normally you're the one whose saying anyone whose tall is great..... But Robb would be great in a physical elimination much better then Trey

[QUOTE=thefinishlin;430821]Robb and Derek did beat Dunbar and Tyrie at something that was tailor-made for Dunbar and Tyrie.[/QUOTE] That was only because Dunbar threw the competition. Trying both him and Tyrie would have smashed Robb and Derek.
[QUOTE=mickeyflo24;431199]That was only because Dunbar threw the competition. Trying both him and Tyrie would have smashed Robb and Derek.[/QUOTE] Robb was holding him back...Tyrie still sucks in my opinion. I would take Robb and Even Derek/Dummy bear over him.

[QUOTE=JayTee;430872]I refuse to believe that Tyrie was anything other than a benchwarmer or backup for the linebacker. At least Trey continued to play in local leagues after college football plus he looks to be in better shape than both LOLbar and Tyrie even though he's a manlet.[/QUOTE] Actually Tyrie has been getting in shape and is actually a fitness/personal trainer right now. I'm his friend on facebook so I would know.

I would take Robb and Even Derek/Dummy bear over him.[/QUOTE] If you rewatch the first round of the "Last chance" elimination you will see that Tyrie actually pushes Robb pretty far back. Dunbar being an idiot runs into Tyrie which leaves a hole for Derek to run through. In the second round Robb and Tyrie are in a stalemate but only because T concentrates some of his strength in holding back Derek. but Dunbar ruins his chance. That's all I got to say, believe me if you want to.
[QUOTE=mickeyflo24;431203]Actually Tyrie has been getting in shape and is actually a fitness/personal trainer right now. I'm his friend on facebook so I would know.[/QUOTE] "So I would know".. Lol love when people say things like that. Just because someone is a personal trainer doesn't mean they are athletic. As a former personal trainer myself, being a respectable personal trainer comes more from your research and experience in body functions and reactions than personal athletic and competitive history. Thankfully I used both sides of that spectrum for my work in training so I got lucky. Tyrie doesn't look like he's in much better shape then he was on Rivals 2 and I would take Robb over him any day. I'd probably take Derek over him too.. Dunbar, well he just annoys me and I'd never want him as a teammate.
The worst Tori moment was went she abandoned Paula in riot act because she got a bloody nose. Also aside from the wedgie meltdown and Darrell fight Brad has been boring IMO.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;431143]I too hope Avery gets on this challenge. Rachel/Darrell seems pointless IMO.[/QUOTE] how so? :(
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;431213]how so? :([/QUOTE] He hates veterans and knows they would make the final
