re: The Challenge: Vendettas starting January 2 and Champs vs Stars 3

fricking Dunbar.

I like Leroy but he is terrible at these challenges. I don't get it because he seems in shape and athletic, but sucks all the time.

I love when people say "British accents are hot" as if there is such thing as a singular British accent. All the Brits on this show have the equivalent of hoodrat trash British accents and none of them are good. Kate Beckinsale has a hot accent. These people sound like fricking paupers

I'd like to go on record that I think the accents are kinda hot, and I could not care less if they are considered "trashy" British accents or whatever. People talking differently than me is interesting, and sometimes super hot. I dig Melissa's accent. And if you're telling me that it's sort of trashy, well then you have upped the hotness, good sir.

Honestly, while basically all of the English people besides Joss have accents that are the British versions of our southern accent (the one that everyone in the country makes fun of for being uneducated hicks), none of them are that over the top. They are mostly light regional accents.

I think the casting did an amazing job with the Brits, other than bringing in a guy who just had back surgery. They have been some of the most interesting people in the house.

And I also have to Bunim-Murray credit with integrating some of the best male players of all time back into the show. They failed with Alton, but otherwise it's been really good. Landon is basically the only superstar who hasn't been involved in a while.

Derrick, Darrell, Shane, Brad, CT, Wes, Bananas, and Abram are now all integrated into storylines. Also, there is a strong rumor that Mark Long will be back on the next Champs vs Stars season.

Hasn't Mark L. Been lobbying to get back on the show for a couple years now? He'd still be good, but Holy shite, he has to be nearing 50 now isn't he?

Bananas has been on more than anyone but his real world season was in 2006. It's not like he was in the beginning but I guess some of those guys are close to 50 now and out of shape. I saw the other day where he and the Big Brother chick were on a date in NY so it wasn't just a challenge hook up. The real world casts have gotten so bad in glad they brought in more new faces. Some seem like good competition too.

Now that Brad is back Tori is tweeting she wants to return to the next one too.

I'd like a paired challenge similar to fresh meat where each pair is a challenge finalist or champion. That's about as all star as you can get and still pull in people. So many of these girls just suck.

Is Sarah just never going to do a show ever again? The girls side really needs Kailah to be as good as she thinks she is and for Jenna to be healthy. I wonder why Tori didn't come on this year.

Too many of their top performers like Evelyn, Emily (outside of cameos, essentially), Cooke, hell even Paula have moved on. Not to mention how there's a whole wave of girls like Jonna and Theresa who just had kids.

The person they really should have tried to bring back is Rachel. She's like Nicole except better in every facet of the game and not physically repulsive.

Mark would be about 45 at the most now. His Road Rules was in 1995. He would have been about 20 or 21 back then, so early 40s now probably.

Just googled for his twitter and he has posted these pics in the last few weeks, so dude is still working out all the time:

Yeah, he's ready.

That’s what I’m saying. Worst trivia challenge ever IMO. Only three questions and one of them wasn’t even really trivia (even though it was funny ragging on Tony).
