re: The Challenge Season 36: Double Agents (Premieres 12/9)

I get they are going for another War of the Worlds format to expand their global audience but they are leaving so many names out of the show right now.
Turbo, Jordan, Cara, Paulie, Rogan, and a seemingly healthy Theo all getting passed up.
And some of these vets are just not that interesting. No one is tuning in for Aneesa and Nany is starting to get into that territory getting cast every damn season. For basically being another Tyrie or Danny, Josh is getting a lot of chances as well.
Literally the only returning vet who wasn’t on last season is Amanda.

Also I know she is “boring” because she is mentally stable but Jenny is off two straight seasons after winning the whole competition the last time she was in. Seems like a waste to me.

Agreed. I hate when a 15 minute lead turns into 60 seconds because of a checkpoint.
It’s dumb and cost both Wes and Kenny a challenge win

What's up with John and Wes? Are they retiring finally? I know John was "sitting one out" or whatever for this season, but he's not on that one either.
And there's no excuse for not having Rogan on the show. Paulie seems like an automatic yes as well if he were to be asked. Jordan should be back too, especially with Tori on.

And it cost Zack a shot at a huge win that Cara Maria took in Vendettas.

Wes should have been a go for sure. Maybe Johnny’s two NBC late night shows conflicted with the schedule

Supposedly Paulie is uninsurable because some on the show claimed he was psycho and threatening people.

I think Jordan is getting punished for his past racist comments from his real world season.

That cast is a let down. Was kinda hoping they would bring in a few of the OG cast.
So with Kam and Leroy both not on this coming season, I guess it’s safe to assume that one of them won this current season?

Leroy was claiming to be done no matter what. Maybe he knocked her up.
One of them is finishing with money though, you can put that on the board.

They moved to Houston and Leroy seems to operate a franchise of a barbershop.
I have no idea how next week’s final plays out. Definitely seems like CT and Amber B are the clear favorites now. I assume Kaycee gets medically disqualified two minutes into next week’s final.

CT and Amber should run away with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cory and Kam kept it close.
Leroy and Nany just aren't on the same level and Fessy and Kayce are going to end up out before day 2.

Damn, I didn't even know that was a thing. I guess he's finally managed to parlay his MTV fame into actual fame.

I'd find it hard to believe that Paulie would do anything on a season that Cara Maria wasn't on. And what's he gonna do anyway, headbutt people in the stomach? He's tiny.

Possibly. But that has to die down eventually, as it was so long ago. It's not like Dee saying shite now (although IIRC, what she said was nothing to have her career cancelled over).
I just want likeable people on the show, or at least people that I like to hate.

He is in training for US bobsled team.

Instesd of gunning after Wes and other champs earlier this season, they should have gone CT.
in fairness, they tried to throw CT in the very first elimination, but it was a girl's elimination and Ashley was thrown in instead. CT put himself in elimination in the 6th male elimination. There was also some breaking up alliances going on. Devin got matched against his idol Wes. Fessy made a deal to go against Nelson when they saw it was hall brawl. Leroy threw himself in. There really weren't a ton of opportunities for people to throw in CT that weren't also aligned with him early on. Devin was team CT when he won. Aneesa was team CT when she won with Fessy early and then again with Kyle when he suggested it. And Kyle though he was with CT when he won with Kam early.
quote:
the dirty little secret is that they're all scared of him in eliminations as well, so they really have a hard time getting rid of him.
And this is very important. The losers aren't going to vote in CT willingly due to fear of them being put in by the daily winner to face him. There aren't but a few players who can beat him in most eliination formats. And not knowing what the elimination will be until they get down there, it's a huge risk for a million dollars.

Turbo is legit crazy and don't think he'll be invuited back
Jordan is probably done due to SJW nonsense
Paulie allegedly got axed by Bananas for being mentally unstable
I believe Rogan said he's not doing it anymore
Theo isn't going to get cleared medically
Cara may come back but she was up Paulie's arse, so when he got the axe, I think she backed out.

At the time they said it would just be a few seasons break. We'll see how that holds up.
What happened to Joss?

It's been obvious for awhile they need a new fresh meat season to restock on talent.
This season has been so bad it is way to long, I legit thought fessy going against Nelson in Hall Brawl was another season. The gold skulls bring very little drama because everyone knows they going to have a chance to get one.
It is probably impossible now because all the cast is use to the huge payday for the winner but I wish they do a team season again. And stop with the secret vote have everyone say they vote out in front of everybody, that is one thing I like about the OG season on paramount +.

no idea, but he hasn't filmed a season on the challenge in 2 years now. I know he runs a fitness business now, so he may not want to fool with it anymore.
Looks like they may have several former cast members from survivor on next season, and I like that idea a whole lot more than BB people.

I love that idea.
The only problem is that Survivor typically has an older age range, but there are still going to be enough younger contestants to pull from... and it's not like the Challenge doesn't feature some older contestants either.
I think in addition to Jay and Natalie, people like Joe Anglim, Michelle Fitzgerald, Malcolm, Wendell could all be good additions.
He'd never do it, but Boston Rob would be great.
