Exactly, I couldn't care less about competition. Here for entertainment. Beth was entertaining, desire seeing Abraham again as well. The Challenge appears to be going down hill every since season 19, Fresh Meat II. Been watching since childhood in 98 & won't stop till cancelation.
same - The Real World Miami was the 1st season I watched all the way through, as it aired (although I think I set our family's VCR to record it!). Real World Boston was my fav, and that was the season they sent the RW cast to an island for their vacation. Road Rules Islands (seas. 4 of RR) was filming at the same time, they had the RW and RR cast meet up on some island and compete in games. It's where the idea of The Challenge came from, even though it wasn't called anything specific & was just an episode of the RW Boston (season 6) season and RR Islands (season 4) season. There's Challenge seasons I like more than others and have been fairly disappointed at them casting very blah people from other reality shows (namely Big Brother, it must be something about their personalities - I don't mind them casting anyone as long as they're entertaining!) BUT, I won't ever stop watching until it's cancelled. ;)
Cara Maria + Kam + Laurel + Nicole = Total Chaos. Flora + Tina + Veronica = loud, opinionated, good confessionals, messy votes. Avery = Wallpaper Paste.
I honestly cant tell if Avery is actually boring...or since she has almost no ties but doing decently well, she's just trying to slink into the background. As Johnny says "the cardinal sin of a rookie is not layig low". And Avery is very much like a rookie.
Wow! I can't believe I know a piece of info you guys don't know!! lol Regarding Shane & Ryan being exes before Ryan got cast - Ryan never told the producers/ casting people that he knew/ dated Shane. I think he was worried that they wouldn't cast him and/or they'd only cast him if shane was going to be on. I heard Ryan talking about it in a podcast at some point. So it makes sense that it's never referenced in the show because they didn't know!
