The Challenge: Rivals II - Discussion (Spoilers)

last I heard the sum varies widely depending on the individual....7/8k to 20k is pretty realistic..

Back when I was involved in cast member contract negotiations, it was always BMP's position that they offered only two standard contract, one to veterans and another to rookies, no exceptions. If opined regarding rumors that there were differences between the payments that some veterans received, and I was rather firmly informed that "there is only one standard contract for veterans." Believe what you will; oddly, it's one of the things I've heard the cast has, in the past, been told not to discuss.

Absolutely, since I've not been involved in contract negotiations for a very long time, I wouldn't know their position today regarding cast commentary regarding production details. And on a completely unrelated note, I saw this tweet from Cooke this morning.

"Heather Cooke ‏@CookeMTV Unfortunately I am all the way in Manila.. So can't make it to the reunion."

O wow, that's a shock, can't remember the last time a finalist didn't appear, I think Cara just found out too since she tweeted about it . I always though they were contractually obligated or something to attend but I guess it's their choice if they want to or not. I guess we won't be hearing too much about the Diem and Cooke situation now :/, and if we do, it's probably going to be about stuff that we already know.

cooke tryna go pro in soccer

I'm thinking it would have cost them a pretty penny to fly Cooke back and forth to the Phillipines. It is very odd that a finalist is not at the reunion, although Derrick wasn't at The Island reunion so it has been done in the past.

does anybody know who Camila and Jemmye are talking about on twitter?? Camila tweeted something about people not knowing the true value of friendship to which Jemmye replied it us over them and **** them. Then Jemmye wrote something like she ****ed up over a flip phone, we need to get like her....? Someone said there were more tweets that Camila posted last night but she has since deleted them. CaraMaria posted a pic of her and Diem on instagram where people were also talking about the now deleted tweets. It makes me think something went down between Diem and Camila. Jemmye also wrote something like, its so sad when people talk about their ex, they need to move on...Anybody??

Probably a reference to John.

I was wondering that myself. Camila also tweeted something along the lines of "f*** b****** who choose boys over everything" but she deleted that one.

Derrick was there; he was sitting between Johnny and Kenny in the front row. He didn't have much to say but he was definitely there.

He wasn't at The Ruins reunion.

Why the hell was Katie at the ruins reunion when she was out in episode 4

No, but he was at the Island reunion, which is the one AnneK referenced in her post and what I was responding to. Maybe she meant the Ruins reunion but I just went by what was in her post.

Thrown mud usually sticks somewhere... Let's burn Anne at the stake, perhaps during one of the commercial breaks tonight?

I wasn't trying to be snarky, just responding to another poster who seemed to think that my reply was incorrect. I'm sorry if anyone was offended. I'll be leaving now.

I was being snarky...not you. People sometimes (myself included) take this stuff too seriously.

I was correcting Anne's post, I didn't think your post was incorrect.

I know this sentence has been used far too many times now, but in this case you simply just have to use it. Once again, molds13 absolutely killed it with the spoilers this season even though she wasnt interested in this season. Thanks again.

The sad part about Dunbar, aside from the Ev nonsense, is someone else could have competed if he had opted out. That's why throwing that first challenge is so disreputable.

Damn straight. Never did care for him anyway.

Why would she delete that? Its not that bad.

Well i guess that settles that.

Molds was amazing. Especially her choice of gifs.

The males obviously competed in the True Colors mission. In the midseason trailer we see Johnny and Frank chained together and running (I thought it would be in the finale) and did they ever show Johnny with the meds?

safe to say that Camila and Diem are perfectly fine :encouragement: these pics are from yesterday: 2898 2899

Good season but predictable final.

Agreed. And shame on MTV3 for still showing this. thirsty much?

Rewatching and ugh this show used to serve.

Also when Frank and CT went at it I think CT switched up the homophobia act bc let that have been Dan R or Davis and CT would have punched them imo

Wasn't that after CT qualified for the final?  Or am I forgetting another fight. CT not punching Josh WOTW2 pretty much proves he just knew he couldn't hit anyone again.  I also don't think CT would punch Dan or he would have on I2.  

I know I'm in the minority but I hated Rivals 2.   CT/Wes/John/Frank didn't even really have competition to make a final.  The girl's side wasn't fun.  Best part of that season was Emily getting a win and Zach being DQd.  The rest is forgetable IMO

I think it's shining due to the comparisson to the modern show. Like they're fighting, partying etc and i feel like i got more out of the 60 minute episode than you would in modern episodes

Gotcha--especailly the last part about 60 minute episodes
