re: Challenge: Rivals II Season Thread

Paula won with Evelyn. She's been really lucky with partners even if she is a great runner herself. Evelyn was pretty much the perfect female competitor and while Emily has weaknesses when it comes to puzzles and swimming, she is so damn good at everything else

Wes seems so much nicer off steroids. He didn't do a single dickish thing all season other than get in a fight with Leroy over him being loud in the mornings, and it wasn't just editing from producers. No one disliked him other than Leroy. Production gave him multiple shots in the reunion to attack Bananas, and he didn't. Very surprising considering the animosity between the guys. I would have gone for it. Who the frick is Bananas, especially now that his two friends aren't allowed to do the shows anymore?

Speaking of Leroy, if CT & Wes weren't in the final, I genuinely think Mike and Leroy could have won this year's show. Would have been the greatest upset ever , but Frank was surprisingly bad at puzzles and Bananas has lost it. He isn't good physically anymore.

Reunion was worth watching because of Knight slapping and then trying to punch Frank. Knight's invitation to the reunion was suspect from the beginning since he wasn't really in any main storylines but I don't think it was staged. Emily and Jemmye's reactions were too legitimate, and those girls can't act. Didn't realize Emily was so close with Frank.

For a live reunion, it could have gone a lot worse. No one seemed fricked up besides Knight, which is great for the producers who have to remember the Island reunion. Sure CT was a prick to Mosely, but Mosely must be the most easygoing, non-confrontational guy in the world.

The guy used to do back flips 30 feet in the air, risking paralysis and brain damage and did it better than anyone else in the world. I have no idea why he wouldn't give it to CT. He has nothing to be afraid of, especially with 3 security guards 10 feet away.

I would have said something to him along the lines of "Look Chris, your relationship with Diem was a main storyline and we've had lots of questions about it from fans on Twitter and message boards. If you don't want to answer, that's fine, but people will lose interest in you really quick. And if they lose interest, you won't be doing these Challenges forever. Which means you're just another chainsmoking, 200 pound trainer in Boston with not enough saved up."

Unless Mosely is intentionally sandbagging it to make himself look like the world's softest extreme sports athlete to get CT even more over with the casual fans, I don't get why he was such a pussy.
