The Challenge: Rivals II - Trailer (Spoilers)

Great trailer, thanks to whoever found it and whoever put it on youtube! I already knew who the cast but watching them on video, I realized that there's a lot of attractive guys this season. I'm excited for the eye candy. Plus there's a lot of actual athletes, let's hope itvdoesn't get ruined by alliances Ana slapped CT? yikes We barely saw Cooke, sadly. And CT was everywhere, I like him but Rivals and Exes were alreayd centered around him (with the "are you gonna be my friend?", Laurel and Diem storylines) they're gonna wear him out if they keep doing this It's very creepy how I recognize everyone's voices

OMFG!!!!! this trailer is awesome!!!! I love the challenges, one it is great tv, two great for the site as more people comment on threads, 3. it is the fifth major sport!!!!

2117 CT and Ty

Thoughts on watching the trailer: - For the first time in a long time, they don't show any preview of the final challenge - which is good because that was usually a dead give-a-way for us who made it in. They've used pretty much used every single terrain known possible since the bar was set high in the Fresh Meat 2 final, it'll be interesting to see what they conjure up next. - The Portland kids look like they're bringing their own element to things, which is cool. Ana slapping CT was certainly surprising, I don't think we've seen any female on the Challenge do that - at all. Could you imagine the sort of fights that would've went down if Averey/Nia were in the house instead though? Someone would've went home in a stretcher. - Seems like Aneesa & Trishelle have already got themselves ready for Rivals 3. The two most seasoned competitors on the show get into something, which could certainly prelude to Trishelle wanting to be sent home or at least losing in the elimination (purposely). - The Wes dynamic on this season is very different. He's had absolutely no influence on the past two Challenges because of his past, but it's not going to be so easy to send CT home. While Johnny and CT were buddies on the previous challenge, I could see him trying his best to send CT packing. - A lot more lenient with the physical violence on this show. We saw them letting Dustin pieface Frank on the last season. - No short of heights, water, or height over water Challenges. They've even began incorporating that in the eliminations. - LIGHTSABERS. That's all for now.

Aneesa's "Trashelle" line was priceless too. It seems they're letting a lot slide with physical fighting too.

- They didn't spoil Cara Maria either, and it appears Naomi and Cooke do at least get one Challenge thing before whatever happens goes awry. Who remembers at various points in the BoTS trailer where'd you see Cara Maria just standing there, watching by - but not on the confirmed cast list.

OK but why did you feel the need to spoil it though

My bad. I'd edit it, but I don't know how to. I thought it was common knowledge by now.

Portland v. Rivals 2? The situations are no where near to being analogous, but I understand you might right that. I think you will change you mind after about episode 2 or 3. This is not a spoiler thread, so I can't tell you why, other than there were situations designed by production specifically to create the kind of physical drama you are seeing in the trailer. 90% of this stuff goes nowhere, but the motivation behind each of the confrontations is genuine and actually helps advance the story line. As I've said to some people privately before, you are going to see some unexpected twists this season. Hell, it might even be a fun season for fans.

Apologies for the "right" vs "write" error above. I took a little too much NyQuil type stuff for my cold today. The entire world is in a fog.

The Trailer is great. But I hope they actually show all of these altercations. too many times a season has had a good trailer but the season itself is mediocre. With this show staring cancellation in the face, they can't afford to be anything less than entertaining and exciting.

It looks like Zach throws something at Frank at the end of the trailer. Which would explain why I don't see Frank and Zach gay-tweeting like in the past after they came back from this challenge. So I'm guessing that CT/Wes & Preston/Knight are in an alliance CT fights with Frank one time Zach ends up fighting with Frank Knight fights with Frank Wes fights with ? Aneesa fights with Trashelle CT fights with Leroy CT possibly hooks up with Nani and Ana (hence why Ana slapped him and CT just smiled) Robin is twerking on Marlon Good ***.

Robin is on this challenge?

There should be a longer trailer in a week or two that will provide some more context/detail for us to pull apart and analyze

JEMMYE was twerking on Marlon

That was insane!!

I'm pretty sure this is the official one, it's just as long as BOTS Trailer.

lol at Frank pretending he wants it with CT

I don't think that's CT fighting with Leroy in the water, I think that's Marlon.

Yeah, It was Marlon in the water with CT, not Leroy.

I don't post opinions. Just reporting what I've heard...

Aneesa hits Trishelle and Bird slaps CT, what! This season looks crazy. I wish Cooke was shown a lot more; looks like she won't have much air time.

At like 1:51 it looks like Marlon/Jordan are making some sort of agreement with someone, as you can see Jordan (Who is behind Marlon) Shaking Hands with a guy. Anyone know who the guy is?

Wow. This season looks great. Possible hookups. Nany & CT Jemmye & Marlon Sarah & Jordan

I'm surprised MTV has even taken it down yet.

On twitter, Ana called it a five-finger love tap. LOL

Many of the cast are fully engaged in supporting/commenting on the trailer on twitter. No reason to take it down not. The momentum can not be regained next week.

Looks like Robb, Marlon and CT to me.

1:07 is Bird and Jessica and another team in an elimination round. Can't tell who the team on the right is though.

This, what is wrong with these people making decisions? It's a Friday, people are gonna be talking to each other. Who's gettin hyped up on a Summer Monday morning when they have to go to work? So weird, just keep the thing up and hype it on social media all weekend so people know what they'll be doing Wednesday nights this Summer..Then until It starts release the cast team pics and keep hyping things

Let's keep this spoiler free.

This looks awesome. I love the challenges. I seriously wish that they could go on forever. Even when they're bad, they are still sooooo good.
