Good cast... but kind of boring they've brought a lot of the same people back for three seasons.

lwhy?

This is the best cast on any version of The Challenge in a long time. The men are stacked. Every man except LT has won a final. Having Wes and Jordan on will be interesting. They hate each other and Wes looks like he’s back to win. This season would be even better if Bananas hadn’t dropped out last minute. I think there are some people like Landon, Laurel, and Rachel that just aren’t going to come back due to having kids (Rachel) or work commitments (Landon and Laurel).

I can’t believe that Nia is back. I thought she was banned forever.

Joeboo835

I thought Jordan was as well.

Finisher

Really good cast except for Sylvia, and I don't remember Roni.

Any word on why Bananas bailed? He should've been in this cast.

lwhy?

He's got a lot going on. He has his own podcast on The Ringer Podcast Network and a show on NBC that comes on after Saturday Night Live.

Double_Oh_7

I can't believe all these middle-age has-beens are still trying to grasp onto their reality show fame.

lwhy?

They get paid a lot just to show up. Their appearance fee is more than most people make in a year.

dex14

It looks like tomorrow will be a two episode premiere.

GatorDeb

Just got a free year through t-mobile (it had been there a while, I found it while I got a free year of Apple TV), and now I know what to do with it first!

lwhy?

I watched the first episode today before work. I think this season is going to be more cutthroat. Wes is really playing up his role as the villain this season. I would have really liked to see how this season would have been if Bananas hadn't dropped out at the last minute.

Also, Jordan has the worst haircut that I have ever seen.

lwhy?

I just finished episode two. I was shocked that Jordan completed a puzzle that quickly and with a time penalty. Also, I don't really understand why everyone was telling LT to get up and run the other way. Was he supposed to try to whip Mark away from pushing the button? It just seemed to help Mark.

dex14

I assume because it was really the only play he had left from the position he was in. I don't think he had enough in the tank to crawl forward to make up ground. The sudden jolt of momentum could've knocked Mark off his concentration / position enough to where he couldn't get a hold anymore and LT would then just run it in. It was a risk that just didn't pay off.

lwhy?

Three people go home this week. Did Jordan become nice after his time out from the show? I couldn't believe he asked Kendal to sabotage him. This seems like a completely different Jordan with a really bad haircut.

Kendal is too nice to play The Challenge. She needed to be cutthroat and sabotage The Treehouse. She is a heck of a competitor though. She dragged Veronica to the finish line during the daily challenge. One inch at a time.

Wes vs Yes is interesting. Wes is going into a diatribe about Yes on Twitter right now.

lwhy?

Great men's elimination challenge in this week's episodes. That was one of my all time favorite battles.

lwhy?

dex14 and I might be the two people on here still watching, but this season has been really good. The last two men's eliminations were epic.

dex14

Yea, last week’s was really good.

Beth is a POS if she was just making up that affair stuff.

Unclejosh

She was not making it up. It was a known secret and leaked as spoilers that they started hooking up after Season 2 even before this season filmed I believe. Her and her husband were def separate for a while and she removed him from social media at one point.

They worked it out and are together now but Jonna and MJ definitely had an affair.

Bill Needle

I'm still watching, but I tend to fall a week or two behind pretty regularly, so I can't participate much in the thread without seeing possible spoilers. But I come in once I catch up to see others' thoughts.

Bill Needle

That would explain why they spoke only in present tense about any possible affair. LOL

lwhy?

Nia couldn't have said it any better. I hate the tree house. I'm so glad to see Sylvia go home. I used to like Sylvia and Kaliah until they started targeting Kendal and KellyAnne. KellyAnne always have to play from the bottom/minority on almost every season she's in. I'm so glad she overcame her puzzle weakness and sent Sylvia packing.

lwhy?

I couldn't believe that Derrick lost to Nehemiah in a pole wrestle especially after the epic Derrick vs Joss ring wrestle elimination during Vendettas. I'm rooting for Wes, Nehemiah, and KellyAnne.

Also, there are rumors that All Stars and Real World: Homecoming are not going to be renewed. They are going to concentrate on making international versions of The Challenge, The Challenge CBS, and the MTV Challenge from now on.

dex14

Yea, that was a shock.

Would be a shame if All Stars didn’t continue. Don’t mind a break from Homecoming.

Finisher

Nehemiah has a bit of a size advantage but yeah still surprising.

Can MTV seriously not do a new Real World every year or two, mainly to have a feeder ground for The Challenge? As if they have so much programming. I guess they shifted focus over to Alabama Shore and Jersey Shore updates but both of those became unwatchable after a couple seasons and neither produced any Challenge regulars. Seems like you could make RW on a shoestring budget. Like how hard is it to cast a few hotties and a couple crazies. Or does Bunim/Murray charge a fortune for the rights/to produce?
