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.

She made 2 finals just never won one. She would have won the Gauntlet 3 if Big Easy hadn't decided to nearly croak.

I think Wes and Trey on Rivals II sitting in bed reading is why they aren't allowed to bring books anymore and are capped at 3 magazines or whatever Although I can see Nany taking a while to get through 3 magazines.

Predicted finish

1) Bananas and Nany: I bet they avoid eliminations until the end and then do something physical and win their one elimination. I am really hoping it's a mental elimination though. Sick of seeing Mr. Teter win these shows.

2) Zach and Jonna. With CT gone, no one wants to risk a physical elimination with Zach.

3) Reilly and Averey: I can see her being the best chick here. Reilly did surprisingly well on Free Agents. Beat Bananas on the mountain climb.

4) LeRoy and Nia. LeRoy plays these challenges really timid, but it means that people keep him around because a) He's a nice guy and b) he's one of the larger people there. Nia is all talk, but the girls are dumb enough to fall for it, except for Nany. I am sure their cardio will be absolutely terrible for a final if they make it that far though.

5) Knight and Jemmye. I think the teams will intentionally keep them around because they suck.

6) Dustin and Jessica. Kind of the same thing. Plus Dustin and Nany are really close so Bananas will want him around.

7) Jordan and Sarah. Will be targeted by Bananas. Everyone seems to like Sarah and no one else hates Jordan, but other than Reilly and Wes, we don't exactly have independent thinkers or friends of Jordan on the show. I see Bananas controlling this show quite a bit, unless he and Zach have a huge fight.

8) Wes and Theresa. Wes doesn't really care.

9) Tom and Hailey. I am thinking Hailey will be good. Tom might be too, until there is stuff requiring you to be crazy and/or violent.

10) Random AYTO couple 2

11) Jay and Jenna. Jay is stupid and tiny. Jenna might be the dumbest person on the show and is model thin. Terrible team, although I like them both well enough.

12) CT and Diem. I believe it's public knowledge that she left the show after a week. That is usually around the second episode.

13) Random AYTO couple 1

Fwiw, I have read no spoilers on VEVMO. Only articles on extremely mainstream sites like People and Entertainment Weekly about Diem and Knight.

You know knight and Jemmye lasted past all the new teams and then maybe a couple extra rounds because they aren't a threat to win and everyone likes knight. Then when things get serious, they are gone.

Picking against bananas/nany would be dumb I guess. I just don't like them though.

Best teams:
Bananas/nany
Wes/Theresa
Jordan/Sarah
Zach/Jonna
Leroy/nia

Leroy is another guy that is almost guaranteed to make it far because he is so fricking cool. Not sure he has a great shot at money though. I could almost guarantee those are the last five teams though.

Sleeper teams:
Dustin/Jess
Johnny/Averey

Thank The Lord that Averey is back on television. That girl is fricking hot. Also there might be a little real world Portland team up action. Jordan and Jonny seem to be kinda friends and might have each other's back.

Is it me, or does Zach look smaller than usual? Maybe he's off his cycle as well?
