[QUOTE=Debut Album;457064]All of them were adults and all of them could've prevented that from happening. End of Story.[/QUOTE] Do you blame all of the guys on the Duel 2 for letting the CT/Adam fight happen? And that one was a lot more obvious that it was going to go down a bad road. Brad couldn't even get down from his bunk bed and just kept asking "what are you guys doing?" JEK and Derrick all made a much greater effort than that in his fight. Mark, Isaac, Landon, and Brad are all in that room...the blame should be on them if it's on JEK and Derrick on the Ruins. And who was the one actually trying to physically prevent the CT/Adam fight from continuing? Evan.
[QUOTE=MTV Junky;457113]Who knows, maybe production wanted it to happen.[/QUOTE] I tend to agree with this thought. I mean I don't think production wanted anyone to get seriously hurt, but hey they hold all the powers really.
[QUOTE=Psy4potato;457059]As much as I love Ibis...Kina should have chosen her first before choosing Cara and Jillian on Gauntlet 2.[/QUOTE] I agree with you, but in the end Ibis helped them win, she was shoving down roti like it was candy.
Unpopular opinion: Nehemiah shouldn't have been mad at Evan throwing the elimination on Rivals. Nehemiah hadn't been initially cast on a challenge since Gauntlet 3 (replacement on Duel 2). He hasn't been cast since Rivals, despite having opportunities on Seasons, Free Agents, and Exes. Evan agreeing to go, while wasting his time, likely made him ~15K and probably more than that because I truly believe that JEK + partners had a deal that if they took 1st and 2nd they'd pool it and split it six ways. They all probably walked away with 36K + ~15K in appearance fee. Yes, Evan was a ****** about it, but he screwed him in a way where he probably still got paid. I'd be annoyed at the time, but he still made his money and he wasn't the one that looked pathetic. Making 50K without having to run a final that they would've likely come in last in anyway was pretty good.

Darrell should've just walked away from him when Brad clearly wasn't going to stop and JEK and Derrick should've tried harder to stop them when it was obvious it was going to get bad if they cared that much. And as for the Duel 2..I'll admit I do think that they should've stepped in a little bit earlier but They didn't...probably the same reason why JEKD didn't really try to stop that whole Darrel/Brad Incident. So yes they are to blame but I think that entire thing was Diem's fault more than anyone else's.

Back to Unpopular Opinions. The Women's Team on Both Battle of the Sexes Deserved to lose based on how they played on those seasons.
Adam K. deserved what happened to him on The Duel 2.
[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;456942]Are you all forgetting when they were climbing the volcano and they were basically climbing next to each other, or am I just watching a different show? I'm not talking about the first half of the final, Both Nany and Laurel did well. Regardless of Zach. We're talking about the ladies not Zach. Regarding the inner circle, Emily was smart. She voted out Veronica and Rachel because they were threats and she didn't want the competition to throw her out of the inner circle. Her, Ellen and Ruthie were strong. I think it was a smart move and the girls that did stay were decent... Anne, Christina, Genesis, Ayana etc...[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter if Nany was close to beating Laurel in the 5th phase, Laurel would have still destroyed her in the other 4 phases of the final. No contest whatsoever. Nany is overrated.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;457064]All of them were adults and all of them could've prevented that from happening. End of Story.[/QUOTE] Like I said, play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. Look at the dailies and you'll see that they did try to do something but Brad just wasn't having it. You can only do so much before you start getting annoyed and want nothing to do with it. JEK and Derrick aren't Brad's babysitters. They tried to stop him, he resisted multiple times, they got tired of it and Darrell gave Brad what he deserved.
And this is why threads get locked. Are you guys that incapable of biting your tongue and not arguing?

I'll just drop whatever debates I was having to put a smile on FreshMeat's face. I might even throw some cookies at him/her.

I would love to see Nehemiah win again (but not bc the vets DQed)
[QUOTE=imallergic;458041]I would love to see Nehemiah win again (but not bc the vets DQed)[/QUOTE] I would like to see Nehemiah back period.

They should have tried a little harder to help Darrell out in that situation if they really cared about him as a teammate and friend. He bailed them out multiple occasions that challenge by voluntarily stepping into the elimination round when nobody else was man enough to do it. Shouldn't you help your friend and teammate if you see him being berated and yelled at by someone else in a situation where he isn't the instigator and can't do much to stop the attack if he doesn't want to be sent home? I think they should've tried a little harder to get through to Darrell and get him away from Brad if they all decided Brad was too scary to deal with. I know JEK an Derrick aren't there to babysit Darrell, but I think they owed him a little bit to have his back in that situation more than they did.

[COLOR="#800000"]Anyone want to start a poll as to when this thread will close? [COLOR="#000080"]Could we at least humor the intent and start our arguments in a separate post that is not a "Reply with Quote?"[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;458037]Is this supposed to be funny? I'm just cringing.[/QUOTE] Your butthurt attitude makes me cringe.
Unpopular Opinion: I think Jasmine is funny and added some comedic moments to the challenge since she joined. Side Note: This thread was meant to just state your opinion and move on, not argue over why that opinion is wrong...hence the title. We have the generic thread for that.
Wow, almost forgot why I left the site for a while. People are way too defensive and sensitive. People have different opinions and I think that's dope, but if one person misconstrues something you say about a challenger they love they go crazy! I'm not even going to go back and try to explain one of my posts to please everyone. Just chill. People have different views and opinions and that's awesome! Rock on!
I like boring girls (Jonna, Ashley K). It's actually refreshing to know not everyone goes crazy on these challenges.

It would have been cool to see Veronica, Katie, Tonya, Syrus, Derrick, Darrell, & Ibis control the Champion Team on the Ruins. Had they realized what JEK was doing earlier they could have sent them in every time.
