Excellent List. 

I had a feeling you would appreciate that list.  Out of my own curiosity, who are your top favorites, DA?  I feel like I'm only familiar with the ones you hate.

My top favorites? Well Here they are(Top 10 of each gender in no order) Landon(Philadelphia)Ace(Paris)Dustin(Las Vegas 2)Jordan(Portland)Cory(Ex-plosion)Darrell(Campus Crawl)Cohutta(Sydney)Abram(South Pacific)Mike(Back to New York)Dan(Northern Trail) Nany(Las Vegas 2)Katie(The Quest)Marie(St Thomas)Beth(Los Angeles)Cooke(Las Vegas 2)Julie(New Orleans 1)Devyn(Brooklyn)Coral(Back to New York)Jonna(Cancun)Ruthie(Hawaii) 

 That is a pretty solid list.  I would only question Devyn

Dylan, you're a fan of Nany again? (=

Yeah, somehow Nany won me back over this season.  I don't even know how or when it happened.  Same thing with Bananas.  Somehow I  just started liking him again which I haven't done since Inferno 3.  Maybe it's cause he got really hot again this season.  No, DA.  Devyn really irks me.  I  just don't find her funny.  Unlike jenna though, at least she has a few amusing moments.  Also she is horrible at challenges & wasted a spot in the finals on Free Agents.  

Aw I'm disappointed lol I posted that cause I thought you were going to drag Nany hahah your "She is NOT hot and feisty to me anymore! (:" comment still kills me. I mean she's ok. Was a big fan of her on Seasons 2, now she's whatever to me. She needs to go against Bananas in the future so I can love her again.

Maybe "won me over again" was being generous.   She doesnt drive me crazy anymore,  but I still don't like her the way I did on Seasons 2. All she needs to do is go against Averey next season & she'll be back on my shit list.

For me, one of the worst finals I've seen so far. If they do a normal looking finale, it should be somewhat similar to the finale in Cutthroat. 

Cara should stop trying to join the cross fit craze and looking like Emily S and focus on how to not lose to Jenna/Bri in a final 

^^agreed it looks gross and totally unnatural. These girls probably don't even menstruate at that bf% and muscle mass

Cara wasn't really the issue--the guys having to carry twice the weight is the only reason Jenna & Brianna are leading let alone hanging around.  We'll see how the finish the final--if they finish the final

The difference is Emily does crossfit for fun  and enjoyment of working out, Cara does it specifically for the show. After cara retires she probably won't keep doing it imo.

Which hopfeully will be after this season if she wins.

Shame on them.

Fun facts if they weren't mentioned. They had to do another loop and run upstairs. Cara took Jamie's bag at times to give him a break but they didn't show it 

I think Checkpoint #5 was the big tower between the 2 large domes they had to go around in the tire challenge.  They had to ring a bell at the top.  I suppose if they were going to skip anything, this one got the ax because there wasn't any realistic chance for lead changes.  Observant viewers could notice there were 5 hooks on the pole at the finish line and awkwards cuts when teams were turning around after placing token 4 (other than that there was no indication in the show itself of the missing challenge).

Jen / Brianna's tire mistake looked like it was because the tire bounced and rolled when it hit the ground.  Since tires are round, the only safe way was to place the tire rather than tossing or dropping it.

The weighted backpacks were clearly geared to help the girls (100% more weight for the guys).  This was the first time I remember girls being given an advantage over guys in a final.  So far, all girl teams are 0-4 in finals when competing against guys or coed teams (Battle of the Sexes 1 and 2, The Ruins, Cutthroat).  Jen / Brianna would become the first team to do this if they can hold the lead.

i hope this is cara's last season. her story, prsonality and abiltiies are so overcooked. go win, get your money, use it for your own personal shrink and psychiatric medications to address your problems stemming from your adolescence....then disappear....for good!!

I'm praying that we never see that fake *** of hers again, but I have a feeling she's too much of an attention ***** & will be back.  Apparently, she needs this  show to sustain her life  & give  her some sort of meager validation.  

FWIW, there are 10 people that have done more challenges than Cara Maria. (Bananas, Aneesa, CT, Paula, Wes, Abram, Derrick, Katie, Robin, and Sarah...I think it's counting Rivals III). Cara Maria is tied with Brad, Camila, Diem, Kenny, Tonya, and Veronica. Now, Cara Maria has had her challenges in a shorter period of time than many of the other veterans, which can make people more easily sick of her, but she has to do 5 more challenges to tie Bananas. Bananas might literally do challenges until the show gets canceled or his body disintegrates. I can't imagine what he'd possibly be doing with his life if it weren't for the challenges. That being said, I wonder if doing your challenges in a more concentrated period of time indicates that you don't have a life, or if doing the same number of challenges over the course of more years means that you don't have a life, because you're spending more years of your life doing these things.

Bananas has been doing challenges for 4 more years than Cara--there's a huge  difference and I think most here agree he's cast too often.

I don't think doing challenges means you don't "have a life".  I'm 38, married, with 2 kids and I'd be saving up time to do one of this a year if I had the opportunity.  I love to compete.  Love it.

It is also a great excuse to stay in shape

Yep.

And the last part made me think of Family Guy.

And that's fair. As much as I want Bananas to retire, I respect his hustle and that he's working his *** off training for these challenges and taking it seriously. I can't blame him for wanting to keep doing it since he's clearly making a lot of money and doing cool shit in the process.

cara maria has less of a shelf life compared to so many of those other people because shes a pigeon holded one trick pony. she doesnt offer anything to the show except her default whiny, neurotic work out shtick "let me prove myself" crap thats been getting old since the first rivals. shes just not someone that you can deal with in person or on tv for more than a few meager moments at a time. shes just not well rounded or contributory enough as a human being. her potential as a character and athlete is already on full display. we know she handles al drama by slinking back and playing victim and we know that she just barely outperforms the other pedestrian women that drink and smoke all day when she trains an adheres to a draconian work out regimen like an olympian. we know that she cant win and doesnt make the best use of her opportunities even when partnered with the likes of laurel, cooke, darrell, abram. her potential and use as a human being is SPENT and we dont need or want her anymore

Cara also wasn't supposed to be on two of the ones that she did.

I disagree with the notion that she "just barely outperforms the other pedestrian women", but I'm ok with your criticisms regarding her personality. I also don't think she's as pretty as some people claim. That being said, I'd rather have her on a show than Bananas, but that's clearly just my personal opinion.
