The Challenge: Season 42 - Spoilers Discussion

TLDR: Twelve 42 minute episodes give you 2.5 hours of non-daily or elimination parts of "The Challenge" per season. Nineteen 62 minute episodes gives you over 6 hours. 3+ less hours to develop characters and storylines.

We don't need character development...we know 90% of them very well

15 of the 24 castmembers of Season 42 have been on 1 season or no seasons.

I love how incorrect you are lately. It's so easy to make you look a fool.

Who dont you know think we know other than the rookies?   Were Izzy Will Justin Adrienne Sydney not featured last season?  What development do I need them to spoonfed me?   

Chris and Cassidy everyone should know...people watch other shows.  

kvm1977#3694

Let's also be real...John Tori Cara Michele Cory Nelson and CT will monopolize the time provided whether its 30 minute episodes or 180 minute episode.  The random Reilly girl will only exist in the episode she goes home unless she's hooking up

This cast doesn't need 90 minutes a week tbh

Sportsman180#3697

It's 62 minutes...

And we can tell from All Stars that 42 minutes with these editors is not enough...

No cast does.   If you can have Coral Julie Trishelle Katie Veronica Abram The Miz CT David Timmy and Shane all on one season and survive with 30 minute episodes we're good with any cast.

Quality matters

bc the edit was bad ?

It's more than enough.  We got countless things no one cares about.  You're complaining about what they decided to show or didn't show.   That has nothing to do run time. That's intentional based on the direction they want for the show. 5 hour long episodes won't alter that.  It will just be more "Pro Tips" and pranks by a man in his 40s calling himself Bananas

All stars didnt need longer episodes either, what do you want? More video calls to children?

Lol exactly

Longer episodes won't add drama that was cut...just more of what people hate

Sportsman180#3703

No lol, there's an issue with All Stars where there's a lack of character moments after the first couple of episodes. The edit is enveloped by the dailies and eliminations. Yes, it's an editing issue but it's an issue that could be mitigated with a 50 minute runtime instead of 42 minutes.

Oh right, Kam always knows how to get the people talking 

killakashhh#3712

Notice how spoilers declined as soon as kam stopped showing up to challenges?

CosmicDiva#3713

I miss the rumors of Ayanna vs. everyone on All Stars 4. They made it seem like Ayanna and Kam almost laid hands on each other and like even Leroy almost jumped in.

The Double Agents spoiler season still hasn't been topped almost 6 years later like ,they'll never do it like her

Ironically that's one of the most forgettable seasons of all time.

CosmicDiva#3716

It's kinda sad how this board turns up more for spoiler season than when the mothafruitfly show actually airs .

MichFitz#3717

Only if Michele wins

Why?   We care about the outcome more than the show...even if some refuse to admit that 

killakashhh#3719
Only if Michelle DQ's
killakashhh#3720

Imagine it was Sydney adrienne and izzy versus Michelle tori and cara and Sydney got sniped wait I might gag for miss weight watchers if that's true
