I wrote that I read no spoilers. These threads are actually really good about not posting spoilers in previous seasons.

Note: I am not counting Diem's departure and eventual death as a spoiler as it was covered on CNN, trended as the number 1 story on Facebook, etc.

Yeah, I just pieced it together.

I will not spoil anything though, even if I participate during the season.

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?

Just curious, but why would you read spoilers if you plan on watching a show like this? I know the drama is entertaining, but knowing who wins and loses really takes out most enjoyment of the show, I'd imagine.

To both of you, honestly, I am bored with this show. I mainly only watch it cause my wife watches it. I do the same with Survivor but there haven't been many spoilers lately in Survivor. Big Brother on the other hand does it right, everything plays out live.

If either have you or noticed, you can get an idea of at least who goes in by how they do their editing. When they show a person/couple that you forgot was even on the show, you know they are going into the elimination, if not getting eliminated. It is poorly edited IMO. I brought this up to my wife several seasons ago and every episode now she says "Yep, they are going in/going home". It usually happens in about the first 10 minutes of the show, when they show random bits/drama/hook ups.

I've read spoilers since Rivals 1 and it doesn't take away from the enjoyment.

Of course you can sort of tell what is happening by the editing. It's not so much bad editing as it is them trying to frame a story for the viewer to keep them interested.

That's cool for you, I just don't see how. Surely if you're watching an episode already knowing who wins, who loses, who goes into elimination, and who wins that elimination, that has to take some luster away from the show's entertainment value...that's like 3/4 of the show that you already know what is gonna happen.

She would've won exes 1 (?) if CT hadn't blown it for her.

They're all a lot smaller these days. Peak Roid use has to be the Ruins, with Danny, Evan, Wes, Bananas, even tiny Adam King much bigger than usual. And CT during Duel II being such huge even by his standards.

Not surprising they had all the behavior problems then

i watched the extra baggage show the other day and i "like" the challenge on facebook and they have been posting all these little 1 minute interviews with the teams and shite like that.

i cannot get enough footage. if they just had a 24 hour stream of the challenge house, i would watch it for like 18 hours a day.

I wish they still had the Dailies. Those were great. They even took down the Dailies site so you can't watch the old ones.

I plan on starting it about 20 mins in to avoid commercials, but I will be in here to in-game.

Anybody else gonna be on my timetable or are all of you watching it live? (And if so, wtf is wrong with you? )
