No it doesn't as we have said and proved for the umpteenth time. Jesus, drop the stupid Rivals speculation, there is nothing that points to it being Rivals related whatsoever.

Why would Leroy be paired with Wes? What just because they went into an elimination round? So that means Darrell and Cohutta would be partners on a Rivals challenge, oh what about Derek and Ryan from The Gauntlet III, or even Nehemiah and Eric from The Duel? Diem would not be paired with Emily as they were great friends on Battle of the Exes and CT & Diem even saved Ty & Emily from going into the final Dome. Oh, and Rivals mean nothing to MTV? Explain to me one rivalry from Rivals that meant nothing. All of the pairs had a substantial amount of beef to be relevant to the show. Theresa & Camila was the only one that they were desperate for. Seriously everyone needs to drop this ******** Rivals 2 speculation. Just face it, it isn't Rivals 2.

Here are the pictures I've been waiting for... One is a replacement. The other was there all along. Yes, someone did quit. Cara Maria Sorbello, Fresh Meat II 1815 Ty Ruff, Real World: DC 1816

Let me clarify on that last post: Ty and Cara Maria are additions to the cast. They have not been eliminated as of yet (as far as I know). These people, however, have been eliminated: Trishelle Cannatella (RW: Las Vegas) Sarah Rice (RW: Brooklyn) Dunbar Merrill (RW: Sydney) Tyrie Ballard (RW: Denver) Anastasia Miller (RW: Portland) Jessica McCain (RW: Portland) Robb Schreiber (RW: St Thomas) Derek Chavez (RW: Cancun) Naomi Defensor (RW: Las Vegas) - quit

I'm just going to go ahead and address this now, since the word "quit" apparently results in a very wide range of responses... Naomi did not quit. She voluntarily left the challenge to deal with more pressing matters at home. The issue was not challenge related at all. Yes, I know the reasoning. It is not my business to reveal that. If MTV decides to reveal it on an edit, or if Naomi wishes to address the situation herself, that's fine. It will not come from me out of respect to her.

Hokay, so...let's start here.

Cara Maria and Cooke 3. Camila and Jemmye But wait! There's more. Now, for the men. Recently, this picture surfaced: 2038 And the majority of you at Vevmo sounded and/or looked something like this: http://youtu.be/l1dnqKGuezo because everyone was all "omg, the winners" and "they're so happy" and "lolz" and stuff. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here like this mostly because I have it on good authority that JEKDynasty has no clue what he's talking about Chris "CT" Tamburello and Wes Bergmann won this challenge. 2. Johnny and Frank 3. Marlon and Jordan So now, I can only imagine the collective hive looking something like this: Except for the Johnny and Frank fans. You might look something like this: So there you have it. Congratulations to CT, Emily, Paula and Wes.
