Default 'The Challenge - Free Agents' New Season is on!!!!

Any fans/watchers of 'The Challenge' on here ?
The new Season started last week (2 episodes aired so far!) and it's looking promising so far.

This season there's no set teams or anything to dominate the game like normally happens. They don't tell them until they get to that episodes challenge whether it's a team, pairs or individual challenge and it changes every week so you're always just playing for yourself. I like this aspect!

A lot of the same old faces are back. CT seems like a different person these last few challenges. I guess that's growing up for ya'!

I just got hold of the second episode so i'm gonna' watch it right now.....WOOT!!!!

Much thanks for moving the thread Marc!
The Challenge is a spin-off of The Real World which is actually much better than The Real World is.

Yeah, it's not as good as it used to be but it's still miles better than The Real World itself!
I think a lot of the old-school players are too old and have moved on with their lives (except the odd saddo like Paula).
They have way too many of the very recent years players back Season after Season (i think Frank has been on the last three Seasons in a row now!).

Regrdless, i still enjoy it!

I love this format,

Loved seeing Kenny squirm that he wasn't getting his way for once.

Yeah, i like the idea of them squashing the normal pattern of the vets targeting the noobs and the fact that regardless of who they throw into the elimination there's always a chance that they'll pull the skull card and end up going in against them themselves!

I loved the fact that Frank's pulled the short straw twice in a row now. It's only a matter of time before he starts having a tantrum and tries to fight someone.

I love Camilla but the bitch is bat-sh*t crazy!!!!

I liked the duel format, where it was just an inner circle voting people out I found it much more boring. So if this is more like the former I'll be more interested.

The way it is now there's no teams at all. It's much better!
When they turn up for each challenge they tell them there and then whether it's an individual, pairs or a team challenge and that only lasts for that particular challenge.

They still tend to try and keep their friends safe when it comes to putting people into the eliminations but the second player in each elimination is completely down to chance (they basically flip tiles over and one of them has a Skull & Crossbones which means they in the elimination).

I wish they'd try and get some of the older contestants back though. Isaac Stout turned up for this one and i didn't recognize him until they said his name!

Cara maria <3

I'm loving the individual aspect of the game, makes it a lot more interesting in my eyes!

I hope to God this is Bananas last challenge, the guy is entertaining but annoying!

Yeah, Cara Maria has become a beast in these Challenges!!! They all used to give her hell when she first started but now she's really come into her own. I think hooking up with Abram was good for her and they're still together apparently.
I'm really liking CT these days too. I used to hate him when he was a mindless animal, beating the crap out of people and stuff, but he seems like he's really grown into a good guy.
Good to see Laurel's extremely flimsy veil is slipping and Cara's finally getting to see what a horrible person she really is.
Although i'm no fan of Banana's it was brilliant to see Jordan's ego being his downfall and Banana's taking him out. Jordan was an asshole on his Season of The Real World too!

Theresa's being a bit lame on this Season but boy......is she looking HOT!!!! Such a pretty girl and her body is just so damn FIT. The episode (think it was the first one ?) where she played one on one basketball with CT she was amazing!!!

Yeah, so on the whole i'm really enjoying this season.

Devyn Cara

They've both had some amazing moments this season. Laurel too, but she's had just as many bad moments. Oh and Cohutta's a lot more interesting this time than I ever remember him being.

Yeah, i like Devyn a lot too!
The only thing about Devyn is that i can't help occasionally thinking "what the hell did this girl have in common with Big Easy ?".

I definitely admire Laurel's athletic prowess but she surely has some kind of social disorder. She's just so bad at friendship and getting along with people.

I can't even remember Cohutta from before but he does seem like a nice guy. I was kinda' gutted for him this week, just when his and Nany's relationship is coming together and all. I really hope she doesn't end up dabbling with that Johnny guy again.

the thing with laurel is, she's clearly used to doing things alone and doing them well, so it transpires into all aspects of her life i.e, friendship!

the only thing missing from this season is Cooke, oh my god, that woman!

am i the only one to notice how lame leroy is, he just coasts all season, he is a beast in the game ( 90% of the time ) but boy i have never seen anyone get such an easy ride as he does.

Laurel's 'frog-in-throat/I'm about to cry voice' when she had that confessional about not wanting to lose Cara as a friend had me rolling I don't think she's used to being vulnerable and I'm not used to seeing it, cause that moment was just too WTF.

Leroy surprised me. He was first to figure out that the random draw was a better option earlier in the game, but I wish he'd own his strategic/political side more like Devyn. I don't really understand why Cara and or Theresa didn't throw it once Nany and Bananas won. Either way they'd have a 50/50 shot, but when Johnny is one of the votes Cara should have known she was going in. Better chance with the cards.

I used to love Evelyn when she was on the Challenge!!!!
She was one of the best female competitors ever and she also stayed away from all of the cliques and the whole carrying each other to the final thing that the whole Bananas and Kenny gang used to constantly do. I used to hate it when you'd have people in the final challenge who'd done pretty much zilch through the whole game and avoided going into any elimination challenges like the plague!

I just acquired episode 10 so i'm gonna' sit back and watch it now. I really hope Cara's hand injury doesn't take her out of the Season!
I couldn't believe how much of a wuss Chett was when he pulled himself out of the elimination and the whole game because he had a cut on his chin. I never liked Chett anyway!

Not had much interest in this season although the most recent episode was great and the next one looks epic too. It has to be said that the format is flawed, it made more sense to lose the challenge this week and just go into the draw than it did to come 2nd or 3rd.
Bring on Chile next week.

I've got a terrible feeling that Cara's gonna' lose this elimination challenge!
It's the wall punching climbing one so Laurel's half way up to start with and Cara's hand isn't going to stand up to the wall punching very well at all.

I thought it was really un-sporting of Bananas to insist that Cara went into the elimination and it was weak as hell of Nany to back down to him. He would have backed down rather than go into the elimination himself if she'd stuck to her guns!
Him saying that he wanted Cara gone because she was a threat in the final was BullSh*t!!!! Theresa is just as much of a threat if not more so with Cara having an injury! Johnny's just a little bitch who's missing his little team of butt-kissers.

After all of the eliminations Cara's done this season and then Theresa get's a free pass to the final after being a weak-ass elimination avoider all season.

You know when something's out of order when TJ says "so you're really going to put Cara Maria in then ?".
Cara deserved to be in this final and i'd be extremely surprised if she'll get there now. Very poor indeed!!!
Bitches best look out for Cara next time she's back 'cause i don't think she's gonna' forget the backstabbers from this season!

Whoever is teamed up with Devyn in the final is screwed!!! Is there even teams in this final, with it being an individual season and all ?

yeah think she's a goner

totally agreed without his cronies he's just "the old man"

see i like theresa too, at least she's seen an elimination (devyn im looking at you)

next challenge, cara needs to win! it should be a pairs challenge and her and ct should smash the crap out of it

well from the preview (not sure if u saw) she was in the boat with zach?
