Nice birthday present to me!

Nice

lwhy?

I added the full cast list to the main post. I'm excited to have Wes and Nany back. Also, nice to see Mattie from Party Down South and Gus from Floribama Shore on the Prospects.

The Challenge: War of the Worlds
Sneak peek on Wednesday Jan 30 9e/8c on MTV

The "Basic Training" special is on tonight.

lwhy?

This is a little off topic, but I'm trying to watch The CT special before the new season starts on Wednesday and had to take a break after about twenty minutes. It's not very well made and I think CT is making a mistake marrying that woman....

Bill Needle

It doesn't get a lot better, but it is mercifully short. The one part that was somewhat interesting was when a bunch of the Challenge cast showed up.

I'm sure a lot of what you are seeing from her is played up for the cameras though (as with most of these sort of shows). Otherwise...yeah, CT better be the most patient dude on earth or this will not end well for him. On the bright side, this means we'll probably see CT staying around the Challenge universe for a good long while if for no other reason than just to get a break from the Mrs.

This season looks exciting. I know it is common to just automatically hate on new people coming in, but some of these people look like legit athletes and beasts that can give some the regulars a run for their money.

I am instantly a Turbo fan.

Finisher

20 minutes is further than I made it. Although I wound up watching the second episode to see the Real Worlders and in the hope it got better but .. it did not. Felt like I was missing something with his bride. 0/10 personality with shrill nails on chalkboard voice. As a Z list celebrity he could've done wayyyyyyyyyy better.

I like that they're opening Challenge up to the entire reality world. Gus from Floribama Shore is good people. Dee from Geordie Shore has an amazing phat ass. Josh from Big Brother is insufferable so hopefully he gets the Johnny Bananas bullying treatment.

Official premiere is tonight, plus an aftershow.

Sonny Corinthos

I'm looking forward to seeing Mattie from Party Down South.

fumanstan

I just watched the new cast special. Bear looks like he'll be annoying as shit.

lwhy?

This is a little off topic yet again, but Kaliah had some work done....

Jesus... The people on this show are so dumb sometimes.

Bill Needle

No matter how big her boobs are they cannot hide her wretched personality.

I was going to say how the hell does Jenna not get picked. She's a competitive beast (as long as her ankle is fully healed).

The only newbies that I knew were Liz and Juj who were on the last season of BB that I watched. I liked them both so I was happy to see them again. Liz is actually a pretty good competitor (better than her sister) so I'm sorry to see her go so soon.

I do not like new tattooed Paulied Cara.

It's funny that for the big deal made that the prospects got to pick the vets that the pairings basically ended up being exactly what the vets talked about on camera. It's kind of crazy to think that Zach was picked last out of the guys, never really realized how strong the group of veteran guys are. Happy to see Amanda picked last/not picked

boogieman03

Shee was soo cringey. Yikes.

Nice start to the season. Prospects do look like legit competitors.
I was a little sad how upset the twin was that her sister got eliminated. But that was also kinda funny.

Trashley is now known as 8 Mile.

Spiderbite

I agree. I actually liked a lot of the newbies. I believe Turbo would snap your neck in your sleep and not think twice. He needs an action movie stat!

Cara was just plain annoying. Smashley was...Smashley.

I have to agree with another above poster that I was stunned that Jenna was picked last. Has no one seen any prior episodes? She would have been my first pick up the group. She is a beast in challenges and is crazy underrated. Oh...and dat ass!

Looks like it is going to be a very interesting season. Sucks that Amanda didn't go home. I truly think she is the second worst person in the world.

lwhy?

I finally watched the premiere after watching CT's Wedding Special (It took forever for me to get through it) and the Basic Training Special. I think this could be a really good season. They seem to have a Mad Max theme this season. Turbo looks like a great new addition. Also, Morgan's a cutie. I agree with the other posters about Jenna. I can't believe Smashley went before Jenna. Smashley stole Hunter's money. Of course, Johnny did the same to Sarah and he was picked early by Morgan. I'm shocked Paulie went first though....

Bill Needle

Small correction: He did it to Sarah.

I agree that on first blush this looks like it could be a really good season.

lwhy?

I meant to put Sarah, but it appears that I have Jenna on the brain....
