These first 2 episodes just shows how much you need the Vets


It was so boring and cringeworthy at times. People thinking they are the top dogs without doing absolutely anything.

If she wanted Jenna could be talking the most sh*t since she has been to two finals.

You need some experience in there. I am glad vets are coming back because these small potatoes can't carry a season

I didnt find it boring at all. I actually enjoyed it. There was plenty of drama and good competition.

I actually liked the episode without the vets. It was refreshing. And the editing this season seems noticeably better.

I agree with the other replies. I really liked the episode. Even though there are champs that I'm excited to see, I actually feel like the underdogs could have carried a whole season on their own. There was plenty of drama, and it was refreshing to see other faces and not the ones we've been seeing over and over again.

I enjoyed the episode as well but that's only because I know the vets are coming eventually so it interesting to see how the newer people reacted. I'm hoping Sylvia gets knocked off next week; she let herself be used and now has one of the biggest targets on her back. Her decision made zero sense and you can tell she doesn't belong there.

reply

Sylvia? I want Nicole and Tony to be knocked off. Sylvia actually made a smart choice. Its a shame Tony didnt leave.

Why does everyone hate Tony so much? It's been a while since I've watched the show, so I can't remember much besides him fighting his own brother and getting into a shouting match with Camila.

I think a lot of people were turned off by him carrying on like he was some kind of leader the first few nights there, only to prove otherwise during the mission.

I'm not saying I like Nicole or Tony but it was in Sylvia's best interest to vote with the people she knew over the people she met 4 days ago. She now has a target on her back from her friends and the people she sided with will vote her into elimination within a few weeks. They weren't going to target her any faster if she voted with the people she knew; all she did was burn her only bridge in the game. Just watching Sylvia for 5 seconds was enough to see she was way over her head.

reply

I agree. I don't get the feeling that she belongs there or even has a clue what she's doing. I don't want her to go home just yet, because I love the drama. Lmao but I can't wait for her to get a taste of her own medicine.

Jenna's overrated ass did nothing to deserve her finals. On Exes 2 she was a lay-up then her and her partner BOTH quit. On Bloodlines she kinda made it fair and square but was almost last place on every girl elimination but luckily she went up against smaller/weaker competitors on mediocre eliminations. On Rivals 3 she made the final only because she was paired with Vince (Bananas' cousin) the entire season she was in the background doing depending on them

reply

I agree with you about the fact that Jenna has done nothing special but gets labeled a beast.
Also, I totally disagree with the OP. I think seeing the rookies hash it out and do their own thing was very entertaining. I liked not watching the Vets run everything.

I like my world sunny side up!

reply

Jenna has been to 3 finals... not 2. She's 3 for 3

I actually enjoyed it too. Tons of drama and the newbies had time to actually show something about themselves. If the vets were there, they wouldn't have gotten the same treatment.

Plus, Shane, Cory, Tony, Jenna, and a few others have been on the challenge before so it's not like they're really newbies. You can consider them as vets.

I was bored to death. I was convinced with it being a 2 hour premier the vets were gonna show up but I was left very disappointed.
Tony did win me over though. I like the way he's not taking sh*t but also not being over obnoxious.

The vets really need to show up. I am mostly just enjoying the players we have seen in the past (Jenna, Cory, and Tony; also glad to see Shane again). I guess I don't mind some of the newbies, it is mainly Nelson pissing me off. I still can't wait for the champions to show up. Personally I think the show is best with a mix of new and old. I do get sick of Bananas every season, but I'm excited that most of the other champions haven't been around in a while.

Also they spend too much time on drama. I would rather see time spent competing, not dragging out 1 competition and 1 elimination into 2 episodes.

reply

I found it kind of funny that they said that it's time for some new blood, and shane was there with them.
