[JayDizzle]

Can't blame anyone but myself for not doing this thread first... :noidea:

...so I'ma leave this here:

The Cast:

 

/

Adam K. & C.T.: The bad blood between the two dates back to their season on The Real World: Paris, with C.T. becoming confrontational toward Adam numerous times. On the Gauntlet III, they got into a minor scuffle, after C.T. poured a beer on Adam's head. Years of tension between the two came to head on the Duel II, when they engaged in an ugly brawl before any challenge took place.

/

Adam R. & Leroy: The tension between the two developed during The Real World: Las Vegas (2011), when Leroy became disgusted by Adam's drunken and disorderly behavior within their Hard Rock Hotel and Casino suite and accompanying Vanity nightclub. Adam was also a mess when he got drunk, and Leroy wanted to make it clear to the rest of the roommates, with Adam taking great offense to that.

/

Aneesa & Robin: During previous challenges, particularly The Duel, a drunk Robin has made several offensive remarks regarding Aneesa's sexual orientation, race and origins, drawing Aneesa's wrath.

/

Brandon & Ty: The two challengers engaged in a verbal argument that got rather heated during Cutthroat. They later faced off in a grueling Gulag, in which Brandon won by default, after an exhausted Ty failed to get up.

/

Camila & Theresa: Camila was excoriated by Theresa in Cutthroat, after Theresa claimed that she stole Ty's sweatpants and Jenn's hat, causing Camila to cry while a drunk Theresa laughed in her face.

/

Cara Maria & Laurel: The girls' beef started on Cutthroat, when Laurel accused Cara Maria of not being a worthy team member. Laurel harbored constant dislike towards her, saying that she did not want to share her prize money with her, and insinuating that Cara Maria got a free ride to the end by being involved with Abram, their team's decision-maker.

/

Davis & Tyrie: In The Real World: Denver, the two engaged in a heated verbal scuffle, which included Davis drunkenly using a racial epithet toward Tyrie, and producers having to separate the two in order to keep the fight from escalating. The two won the Best Fight award at the Real World Awards Bash in 2008.

/

Evan & Nehemiah: The two faced off on The Duel II challenge, after an enraged Evan was called out by Nehemiah for a Duel.

/

Evelyn & Paula: Tension between the two occurred throughout The Island challenge, when Evelyn was constantly ridiculed by an alliance with Johnny, Kenny and Paula, and after the final face-off, Paula was double-crossed after Evelyn won the last key, and Evelyn was chosen to sail on Johnny & Kenny's boat instead of Paula. Evelyn and Paula faced each other in an Exile elimination during Fresh Meat II, which Evelyn (and her Fresh Meat II partner, Luke Wolfe) won, which upset Paula greatly.

/

Jasmine & Jonna: The two were involved in a awkward love triangle during The Real World: Cancun. Jonna cheated on her boyfriend from home and became close to Jasmine's love interest, drawing jealousy from Jasmine.

/

Jenn & Mandi: The two were involved in a heated scuffle during the Fresh Meat II challenge. Jenn threw a drink at, shoved and nearly punched Mandi, after Mandi questioned Jenn's voting strategy. The two then exchanged verbal insults at each other.

/

Johnny & Tyler: This feud dates back to the first episode of The Duel challenge, after Tyler called out Johnny to the first male Duel. Johnny then exacted revenge during The Gauntlet III, calling out Tyler for a Gauntlet. The two were set to face each other in Cutthroat, but were met with a shocking twist to the game in which Johnny was eliminated by C.T. Tyler went on to win the challenge with his team.

/

Katelynn & Sarah: The two were friends during The Real World: Brooklyn, but their friendship soured during the Fresh Meat II challenge, when Katelynn voted Sarah (and her Fresh Meat II partner, Vinny Foti) for Exile, after Katelynn vowed not to vote her in. Sarah yelled at Katelynn and told her that Sarah's own mother warned her not to trust Katelynn. Sarah and Vinny were eliminated in the Exile.

/

Kenny & Wes: The two have had bad blood over the years. During The Island challenge, Kenny mentioned his hatred for Wes, after Kenny became involved in a relationship with Wes' Real World: Austin roommate, Johanna Botta, whom Wes was dating before. During The Ruins, the two were on the Champions team, and Kenny did everything in his power to remove Wes from his team, as Wes was sent to the Ruins three times. Though they appeared to extinguish their animosity toward each other during The Ruins reunion, it was re-kindled during the next challenge, Fresh Meat II, and subsequent reunion.

The way this shit will be played:

Each team participates in numerous challenges (sometimes called "missions"), which are followed by an elimination round called "The Jungle." Each challenge is alternatively designated as either a male or a female challenge day. The winning team of the gender not designated for the Jungle is given a prize. The winning team whose gender is designated for elimination wins immunity from the Jungle, while the team that finishes last is automatically sent to the Jungle. A public vote is cast to determine which team of the same gender will face the last-place finisher in the Jungle. The team who wins the elimination round returns to the game and has a shot at a $300,000 prize, while the losing team is eliminated from the game.

[Misogi]

Brandon and Ty's "rivalry" aint shit

[JayDizzle]

lolCamila and Theresa.

Over some sweatpants and a damn hat.

[Houston]

Cara Maria and Laurel are gonna bring some lulz.

[G-men]

Wes is my favorite Challenge contestant of all time, so I'll be pulling for him. Although, I haven't watch a full season of the Challenge in a while.

[JayDizzle]

CT is going at least 5 episodes carrying Adam's sorry ass.

I want Kenny to win but him and Johnny's egos will ruin it for them if they don't get thrown in "The Jungle" first.

[Houston]

lol this reminds me of last season when Ty did all that talking and passed out in the elimination against Brandon

[JayDizzle]

[JayDizzle]

 

If Ty didn't induce Adam (from Las Vegas, not Paris) into a reverse Nigga Moment, this season would have been a lot more interesting.

And by that, I mean more chances for somebody goes blind from physical abuse

[Epidemik]

 

can't wait for a "CT" moment, dude is certified beast

never be a big Robin fan, so i could care less about her going home early, that means more screen time for everyone else, that means better show

rookies came to play

just waiting for a kenny, johnny, evan, west moment

[CCBrink]

 

lol at Mike being Leroy's "rival"

[Bmore]

I got Kenny/Wes winning it all.

[G-men]

This seems like it will be a really short season. There are 7 teams of each gender and 3 make the final. That means there will only be 8 eliminations. That plus the finale only makes for 9 episodes unless they change something up.
