re: Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 Season Thread (NO SPOILERS)

This is going to be a weird season. 2 teams that no one is familiar with since they are outside the Real World universe (basically the only other person who would qualify is Camila since the fresh meat were all together on their two shows) competing with lots of established vets.

And then of course there are the two deaths. I expect an entire episode to be devoted to Diem. Three bouts with cancer, all of which were shown on tv besides this last one, the relationship with CT (allegedly they were dating for the past year), the fact she never made a final and always lost tight eliminations, etc. There's a lot to show. I have no idea when Knight and Jemmye were eliminated (I have no idea what the spoilers are, but i'll bet money they didn't win ), but it's going to be a lot more awkward than Diem's tribute since he OD'd a couple months ago, and Frank was publicly calling him a drug addict more than a year ago.

Onto the game. I expect the AYtO people to be targeted early. They are not just rookies, but outside the RW/Challenge universe. Jay and Jenna will be terrible, so they'll be gone too, although we do seem to see Zach making out with Jenna and some flirting between Jenna and Hailey I also don't really rate Dustin/Jessica. Tom and Hailey should be okay, but they'll get out early, too. Maybe 4th or 5th sent home.

The strong teams are definitely Bananas/Nany, followed Zach/Jonna. Then there are a bunch of x-factors for the other 4 teams.

LeRoy/Nia: Will Nia lose her mind? Will there be swimming challenges?

Wes/Theresa: Will Wes show up in shape or just to collect a check and go back to his business? He has a hot girlfriend and actually stuff to do back home. I think he'll rile some people up and then mail it in.

Jordan/Sarah: Will Bananas target Jordan early on? Will Jordan have an elimination were his hand puts him at a huge disadvantage?

Johnny/Averey: A very strong team on paper. Maybe the one best suited to challenge Bananas and Nany. However, they really do seem to hate each other, and that will have an impact for sure.
