Really? I don't really explore this site much anymore but, from what I remember, everyone was in love with the more dramatic cast members. Maybe things have changed since then but it seems(ed) that people like the ones who are "real" or "don't take **** from no one".

Yeah. A lot of people on here now care only about the competition and don't like the all of the Drama. If it were up to them the Drama and house interactions would be out of the show completely.

 

Best post ever.

Not all the drama is bad just the stupid forced one like camila & Nany

There is great drama, I always go back Katie & Veronica, but it was legitimate drama that was fun to watch. Today's drunken fights for airtime are cringeworthy.

I agree. Stuff like Nany and Camilla was just stupid and Pointless.That type of drama is what this show DOESN'T need. Stuff like Veronica/Katie, Coral/Julie, David/Puck, or **** Even Laurel/Paula..THAT'S what this show needs.

Back when the show had real rivals. Also Emily and Veronica was an awesome rivalry. If they had that theme earlier I wouldn't have mind seeing Veronia with either Emily or Katie and Coral with either Tris****e or Julie.

You know I always thought they should've done the Rivals format during the Real World/Road Rules years. We could've had pairls like Coral/Julie Katie/Veronica, Aneesa/Ayanna..It would've been epic on the girls side. With the guys I think that they would have to strech and/or think outside the box since there wasn't alot of male fights in those years.

Laurel Should've never been on Free Agents.

I never want to see Ayyiia again she was so annoying during cutthroat, I'd be fine with only seeing Jonna & CJ from Cancun.

I hated the way voting was done In Rivals 2

Fresh Meat 1/2 had the best voting format.

you would be the LAST expected person to say anything good about  Fresh Meat. i am shocked.

 Well I think the Fresh Meat Seasons weren't that bad(Well the First one was Decent but the Second one was just Dull and Mediocre). I just reall hate what they produced as far as "castmembers".

Here's another Unpopular Opinion.

Battle of the Sexes 2 had one of the Most Interesting casts in the history of this show.

I definitely agree! Especially on the girls side!! Gosh, I would love to see Ace, Steven, Randy, even Jacques again. I would probably die if I saw Ace on a future challenge.

Marlon/Jordan were one of the only good things about Rivals 2.

Wait how was Freshmeat & Rivals 2 voting different? I thought they all sit in a room and they all vote 1 by 1 unless you're talking about how in Freshmeat people could vote individually and not as a pair.

 

I hated Rivals I voting. It just seemed like there was no organization. Everyone gathered around, someone from JEK threw out a name and everyone sheeped it and that person usually accepted that they were going into elimination instead of challenging it and asking each person to announce their opinion.

I think you're talking more about Rivals 1. That was similar to Fresh Meat in that every pair that didn' win got a vote(Except for the team that got last place and automatically go to the Jungle). Rivals 2 was different. Only Girls Pairs and vote on Guy Jungle days and Guy Pairs vote on Girl Jungle days.

OOOOOOOOOOH I totally forgot about girls voting guys, guys voting girls. Yeah I know what you mean, at first it seemed like a cool twist but it ended up failing. Especially because the girls wouldn't vote strong guys teams and the guys wouldn't vote strong girl teams because they didn't want to be targeted by them and get voted in. If they switched it around and only did same-gender voting it would've been much more intense.

I don't think Nia is this bad *** ***** that she tries to portray herself as on twitter and interviews. I think in reality her personality is more chill, carefree and refined.

And that's why I didn't like it. You just knew that teams that were strong and had alot of connections on the girls side wouldn't get voted in as to not **** the guys off. The RIvals 1 vote was much better.

If there was any challenge to do a "trim the fat" type thing it should've been the Vet team on Gauntlet 2, although the men would've never done it. I don't think there was ever a worse female group than that one.

Ruthie/Beth - two strongest girls on the team yet personal reasons & Montana's childishness hurt the team badly by putting them against each other. Even so, Beth would perform well in some missions then outright decline to do others or just couldn't do them.

Julie - very average, good motivator I guess?

Robin/Jisela/Katie/Aneesa/Montana - all pretty terrible (at least at that point in time with Aneesa)

Speaking of The Gauntlet 2..

I didn't like how Both teams had to face their own teammates in the Gauntlet. I think they should've done The Gauntlet 1 way..Have both teams vote someone in and have those 2 duke it out.

In my opinion Julie was the best girl on the veterans, with Ruthie a close second. Robin was pretty good on that challenge too if I remember correctly. 

I don't understand all the hate that Eric(Big Easy) gets. I mean sure he's a non-castmember and  he's ****** over people in the past but He ***** over people who either deserve to lose(Gauntlet 3 Veterans Team) And Non-castmembers who don't deserve to be there at all(Camilla). So I don't get the hate. Was it that whole thing with Laurel?

He's annoying and a horrible competitor who brags about how " great " he is then just quits. Plus he broke nick browns hand. The hate is because he's a quitter and one of the worst male competitors ever.

Eh. Quitting is not a big deal and being a bad competitor doesn't warrant hate IMO.

I don't like him because other than those moments + the Laurel thing he was such a non-entity on the show. Up until the whole Gauntlet 3 final you wouldn't even know Eric was there. He was another one that they tried to make "happen". I'm sure they figured everyone would love the fat, jolly dude who's just there to have a good time.

I think David L. from RR Viewers' Revenge would've fit that "stocky competitor" role much better. He was more of a built, football weight lifting stocky while Eric was just fat. They should've retired Eric after The Duel IMO

Beth used to blog about each episode on the Gauntlet 2 on myspace and she said that Julie was not up for nomination as one of the girls to be selected into the elimination round because she was hands down the best vet girl, bar none. And yeah, I totally agree that Julie is a fierce competitor. The girl is physically very STRONG and CRAZY. Tragically underrated IMO. Robin was also sarting to come into her own too.

yeah, he shows up every single Challenge, talks about how he lost 35 pounds, is getting healthier, stronger and more fit. Then he does even worse than the last time and the worst thing is he doesn't even try. Him being less athletic that other castmembers is not the problem, it's his attitude and character. Being athletic doesn't make you automatically entertaining. I have absolutely no problem watching Katie on the Challenge because she at least tries and hilarious and very likeable. There's really nothing about Big Easy that warrants him being good tv. Nothing. He's also reportedly very rude and, worst of all, gets the victim edit when he doesn't deserve one at all (Gauntlet 3 finale, Cutthroat).
