A bunch of no names on this season? I thought Big T was done with the challenge? She has no chance of winning, unless she has improved drastically.

A bunch of no names on this season? I thought Big T was done with the challenge? She has no chance of winning, unless she has improved drastically. The hope is to have no vets on this season. Currently all the known cast has appeared in at least one or two seasons. The franchise needs new faces, new champions, new alliances. As it stands while there are various female champions the men's field is limited to Bananas and CT as the main winners with Wes, and Jordan as support. Big T left to go to culinary school. She had completed her culinary course and is back. Socially she can get to a final. The question is can she finish one.

I did like when they started bringing in some new competitive challengers from different shows a few years back or so, instead of so many of the same cast each season. And also that they cut down on the ones that were on there just to get into catfighting and not taking the show seriously. Though I still would have wanted to see a few vets on this season. I think it might affect the ratings some.

On a side note, remember years back when challengers from "You are the one" were supposed to be the some of the main people to help keep the show going since the real world was waning and road rules was long off the airwaves, and they were really promoting that aspect on the challenge
I mean obviously there are a few solid challengers that came from that show, but they seem to really downplay it now, and hardly even mention the name of the show on the challenge.
I knew that a new season of Are you the one was going to be airing on paramount plus. I just saw that it actually aired already this year, I didn't hear about it.

But what about All Stars 4? That wont air until after this, which will most likely be early next year I totally agree though. It's dumb they're airing these other shows before AS4. AS4 will have, by far, the longest gap between filming and airing of any challenge season

Just as a side bar and for FYI: Check out the cast list.
Season: 2 of Traitors (Peacock)
Departure: September 18 & 19
Set in a remote castle, Scott C plays host to reality TV icons and America’s best game players competing in a game of alliances, deception and even “murder” for a chance to win up to $250,000. Contestants in the game move into a majestic castle and work as a team to complete a series of dramatic and challenging missions to earn money for the prize pot. But three of the contestants are secretly traitors, who will attempt to deceive and manipulate their way to the prize by eliminating ‘loyal’ contestants.
Cast (I will be updating this list as more info becomes available)
Beth Stolarczyk (The Real World & The Challenge) Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen (Love Island) Christopher “CT” Tamburello (The Real World & The Challenge) Dan Gheesling (Big Brother) Janelle Marie Pierzina (Big Brother and The Amazing Race) John “Johnny Bananas” Devenanzio (The Real World & The Challenge) Lindsay Hubbard (Summer House) Mercedes Javid (Shahs Of Sunset) Tamra Judge (The Real Housewives) Trishelle Cannatella (The Real World & The Challenge)
Wow, this is actually the perfect format reality show to transition players from other franchises.

So looking forward to episode one it will be a 90 minute episode.
The previews showed like it will be a group decision to pick two people to go into elimination. Asaf, a strong good looking guy is suggesting the weak ones get tossed in. Of course Hughie objects to this. To be honest I hope the weak ones recognize this and put in two strong players. This is the best chance for the weak, and downtrodden masses to rule the game.

Season 39 Episode 1 - "Teamwork Makes The Perfect Work" - October 25, 2023
Wow, that was Chaotic and this is the Control part of the season. Absolutely, agree with Big T to get the boys out. It is SO EASY for the guys to agree lets vote all the girls out and then just fight it out among ourselves. If Ciaran's plan was so great why did it take you all of 9:20 out of 10:00 to get out of the pit. It was a two part challenge get out of the pit and complete the puzzle. So glad that there will be a second and third place finishers who will get paid. Want Horacio to not win just based on his stupid vote for Big T. Did you learn Nothing your first season on. OMGosh, Callum you out and out liar. Poor Michele.

Re-watched the episode mainly to catch details I missed the first time.
Big T mentioned that she had Corey L and the three Brit guys in her alliance. Did anyone tell the guys she has and alliance with them, as no one but Hughie defended her. Corey threw Big T under the bus multiple times and the other Brits also did.
In the previews and I don't know if the preview we saw was just for next week or it was another trailer, but it is clear that Corey Lay is using Melissa and Big T.
The Hole Control Challenge.
This was a 10 minute challenge. All 12 girls and 2 guys had made it out of the pit to the puzzle by the 6 minute mark. The remaining 10 guys were still at the pit trying to get everyone out. It took 8 guys another 3 minutes and 40 seconds to get Jay and Ciarran out of the pit.
The newbies lack of experience in the Challenge did them in. This is where the vets know to put in charge a puzzle master or two and let them handle it.
Michele had it right it would have been easier to have the poles on the ground to organize them before putting them into the upright slots but that didn't happen. Some of the letters were spread out over 4 poles.

Listening to the MTV Official Podcast on Spotify. Have a free account. Big T is the guest. Someone told her not to trust Michele and Jay. Who told Big T not to trust Michele and Jay and is that the same someone who told Joanna not to trust Michele in the Global Championships? Big T said the generally gossip was that the challenge seasons were going to stick together, that is why she thought she had this huge alliance to protect herself. Not happy with Corey Lay as he said one thing to her and the episode showed something else. Not happy with Berna as she told Big T and Melissa that she wanted to work with them.
When asked who to look out for by the hosts, Big T said "Corey" & "Olivia".

Season 39 Episode 2 - "Two Lungs, One Heart, Can't Lose" - November 1, 2023
Let's face it the daily challenge was a set up. I do think a team of vets could have been successful as they have experience in this type of challenge however 23 minutes is a ridiculously short time. What is so sad is you have all these guys with beautiful bodies, is any of that muscle even functional or simply popcorn, and some can't climb or clip their carabiner in. Yes, Chauncey I am talking about you. I am sure in real life Chauncey is probably a nice person, but he does not understand that when that camera is on he needs to have a personality. Yes, Chauncey looks great in photos and makes his living off his Instagram posts but can he actually do anything athletic?
Many years ago in the heyday of soap operas, the actors well, were not so good looking but they could ACT and they made the stories so compelling you watched everyday. Then some TV executive decides they need to make the actors more pretty, better looking so they started to hire models with no acting experience or ability. At first the older experienced actors could still carry on the storylines with the pretty newbies. But they kept hiring more and more pretty faces who couldn't act and that destroyed the American Soap Opera. In the Good Old Days MTV cast for interesting personalities and backgrounds and that made riveting Reality TV. But The Real World and Road Rules is no longer made so production had to get new cast from somewhere and that is were all the pretty people with no brains or personality from other reality TV shows came in and are cast and basically blend into the background or give stellar performances in daily challenges, deliberations, and eliminations just like Chauncey. In fact almost all the US men fade into the background. Who stands out among the men? Callum, Ciaran, and Hughie. Big personalities, loud voices, and a presence. I will even give James Locke a shout out for most dramatic elimination win and a perfect candidate to take to the end of the game as anyone will be able to beat his ass in the final as Melissa stated he will gas out in the first 5 minutes.
I also have to give Chauncey a shout out for the best deliberation so far and digging his own hole as far not saving himself from The Arena. Hint, know the answer to the question you ask someone before you ask them.

Me me! I’m watching! I’m enjoying this season so far.
Chauncey…I really wanted to pull for you and see you stay in a bit longer, but good grief. Digging yourself such a hole in the negotiations and then not being able to clip your obviously strong self onto the rope!
This might not be the show for you. 😂
