Is anyone going to be watching this?

I haven't been watching the Challenge series lately, and haven't watched a full season of Real World since Denver. But I recently saw the commercial for this new challenge coming up and I feel inclined to watch! Mainly for the cast. Adam K.! Aneesa! Sexy CT! Evan! Jenn! Johnny Bananas! Kenny! Nehemiah! Paula! Robin! Tyler! Wes! The only person missing is Brad & a couple others :)

It starts June 22! I'm excited. Here's a promo:

After the last Challenge, I told myself I'm too old and I am DONE. Mainly because it is the same people over and over again, and it was getting boring and predictable. THEN I see this promo and LOVE the idea/concept. So [!@#$%^&*], looks like I'll be watching again.

Looks like Adam (from latest Las Vegas) punches one of the black guys - couldn't tell who. That is auto-elimination, wonder how many episodes he'll last. I couldn't stand him on Las Vegas. He reminds me of some others I really hated for being major douchebags: Ryan (New Orleans), Puck (San Fran), Greg (Hollywood), etc.

I caught the preview/trailer a few weeks ago immediately following an episode of RW, and I was definitely intrigued. The rivals format has SO much potential for drama and shenanigans. I only wish they'd have done it years ago with the old gang. Coral/Julie, Veronica/Katie, Tina/Tonya, Beth/Montana. That's all I would have needed right there. Entertain me, bitches.

Cutthroat was the first challenge I really liked in a long, long time, so I hope this one continues on the same path. For those wondering, here is the cast for Rivals. Note that this is the first challenge to have no one from Road Rules.

Adam K. and CT (Paris)

Adam R. and Leroy (Las Vegas II)

Aneesa (Chicago) and Robin (San Diego)

Brandon (Fresh Meat II) and Ty (Washington DC)

Camila (Spring Break) and Theresa (Fresh Meat II)

Cara Maria (Fresh Meat II) and Laurel (Fresh Meat II)

Davis and Tyrie (Denver)

Evan (Fresh Meat) and Nehemiah (Austin)

Evelyn (Fresh Meat) and Paula (Key West)

Jasmine and Jonna (Cancun)

Jenn (Denver) and Mandi (Fresh Meat II)

Johnny and Tyler (Key West)

Katelynn and Sarah (Brooklyn)

Kenny (Fresh Meat) and Wes (Austin)

It's kinda obvious that they were desperate to fill the cast out with some really anti-climatic pairings. Davis and Tyrie got into during their season, but I don't think they've ever had any altercations since then, and that was years ago. Some of the pairings make me cringe because they people in them are such attention whores and will totally play up to the cameras (Kenny, I'm talking to you. Sexy you are, but cool you are not). I'd be kind of pissed at MTV/BMP if I were Adam K. because CT has physically injured him multiple times, and they think it's cute/funny to put the two of them on a team together? I'd pack my sh!t and get out of Dodge, screw the money. CT is entertaining, but he needs anger management. He can be hilarious without attempted murder.

I'll be rooting for Davis/Tyrie, even though I'm sure they won't win. None of the female pairings excite me, except maybe Aneesa/Robin, but I usually can't stand Robin.

No, Brad can stay his funky ass wherever he and Tori decided to wallow in their stank. So glad they're done with these shows.

Oh, BTW!! Comcast has the original Fresh Meat season available On Demand! At this point, most of the "old gang" was starting to move on, so Coral was left alone to snark on all of the new kids and stir up random crap! And then, she and Evan (back when he was still tolerable and actually likeable) would always win, making her even snarkier. I miss that damn girl.

LOL. I really hope CT doesn't get kicked off again ;-P

I think you should still tune in!! Even though you know the end result, I think it would still be fun to watch!!

These are the rival pairings I'll be watching out for! LOL @ your comment about Kenny!

I can understand why people would be sick of Brad.

He's a p*ssy 'Nuff said. And Tori ... I liked her on RR: Viewers Revenge, but on the challenges she has been a HUGE nonsensical twat.

Now, I'll probably watch the last episode (and highlights on YouTube!) because I definitely want to see one of the winner's reactions.

I was reading that list and have no idea who any of the Freshmeat people are..and I think some of the Real World pairings are when I tuned out until Cancun came around..as I definitely didn't watch Brooklyn or DC.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
