It’s that time! Can’t wait.
**WITHOUT POSTING ANY ELIMINATION SPOILERS**, here are the ALUMNI cast members rumored to be competing (as of this post):
MALES: Bananas, Cohutta, Cory (RW: Ex-Plosion), Dario (Are You The One?), Leroy, Thomas (RW: Ex-Plosion) & Tony (RW: Skeletons);
FEMALES: Averey, Camila, Jenna, KellyAnne, Marie & Nany.
Each of the aforementioned players has either a sibling or a cousin of the same gender that they APPARENTLY will be competing against.
Trey said on Twitter nobody from St Thomas is going so doubtful on Marie
Trey said on Twitter nobody from St Thomas is going so doubtful on Marie
Will they be playing as a team?
Not sure, but the rumor mill says yes. The fact that most people have same-sex bloodlines yet Cohutta has an opposite-sex bloodline at least supports the idea that they won’t compete as pairs with bloodlines.
Will this post include who the RW/RR cast members’ “bloodlines” are?
Yes. Eventually
What happened to the bitch in overalls and the real world reject?
Apparently they have real named. Just learned that.
Not mad about this cast, glad Tony’s brother is on he’s so great! Most excited KellyAnne is back tho!!!
Is Hannah going to be his bloodline? Which is strange because it basically defeats the entire purpose of the show. Girlfriend is not a bloodline…And what about CT and Diem’s sister.
A lot of the ‘blood’ during Survivor: Blood vs Water was actually just boyfriends/girlfriends or best friends.
kelly fucking anne woooot, this just got 100% better
NO MORE AYTO!!! Please!
21, uneven. We want CT! Who is with me!
Bloodlines are not complete yet
Will ct compete in this or any other challenge???????
It’s looking increasingly unlikely but it is possible that he is on this cast. We seem to have the full cast on the alumni side but there could be 16 people total.
And CT will most definitely receive future invites.
No Laurel again? 😦
Since I’m strongly against AYTO on RW/RR Challenge, I wouldn’t mind subbing Davis for Dario, and Devyn for Christina
Anyone is fine than those losers from that lame show nobody wants to know about
Does anyone know if they still plan to do Real World 31 after this season of the Challenge? Also hope that they stop adding AYTO to the cast
Fingers still crossed for Johnny Reilly. He hasn’t tweeted since June 9 (just like some of the confirmed cast)…
Pretty sure he isn’t he has been active on Instagram.
Yes Kelly Anne and Camila! Ugh…ayto…
Seems like MTV is using this format to get new faces, and hoping that they end up with someone like Kenny and Evan, just bring back the VETS!
Kenny and Evan will never ever be back. They sexually assaulted Tanya while she was drunk and are banned. Tanya even sure mtv and received a settlement.
So we still need to get to know who the bloodlines of Cara, Cory, Bananas, KellyAnne, and Leroy are.
They need to do another Fresh Meat >.<
FINALLY KELLYANNE IS BACK! but wtf…half of the cast could be made up with amazing alumni but who are these siblings i wanna DIE
I guess I’m the odd person that has no problem with AYTO, since I don’t watch Real World. Actually I see it as a potential benefit, since this show’s glory days were when Real World and Road Rules both participated. The dynamic of two different shows was a good thing in my opinion, and how the show was designed. There’s no reason why that dynamic can’t be replicated if they do a good job casting. On that note, they certainly did a good job casting Kellyanne!!!!
If they’re going to have AYTO cast members on The Challenge they should at least cast Shanley.
I’m disappointed not to see Nia, Violetta, Sylvia, or Averey (I read somewhere that they were rumored to be on the cast)
Nia needed to not be cast on this season so she could realize that her actions could truly have repercussions and get her shit together for the following season. Averey would have been nice to have on without the inclusion of Reilly, so I definitely agree with you there on top of the fact that I think she’s an underrated female competitor. Didn’t watch Skeletons so I wasn’t familiar with the other two.
The addition of the AYTO is hard to get used to but is necessary to keep the show going and the cast diverse. Especially since it seems The Real World days are either over or numbered. I think they just did a poor job pulling from the AYTO cast for last season.
This cast sucks… although it’s logistically impossible, I say they do an epic legends season to win 1 million $:
Wes
Kenny
Evan
Bananas
Mark L
CT
Brad
Abram
Emily
Paula
Sarah
Katie
Camila
Laurel
Robin
Evelyn
THIS LINEUP OR SOME CLOSE VARIATION WOULD GIVE MTV HUGE RATINGS
gtfo the girls lineup is trash how about
Veronica instead of Emily
Keep Paula
Replace Coral with Sarah
keep Katie
keep Camila
Replace Beth with Laurel
keep Robin
keep Evelyn
let’s throw in Jenn, Aneesa, and Casey.
That girls lineup is awesome as a showdown between some combination of Emily/Laurel/Evelyn is possible. Those three being thr best womens competitors ever would be great to see against each other.
HELL YEAH!!!!
There’s a rumor that tony dqs and him and Shane leave and Abe and his bro might be replacements.
So when do you think we will be seeing this challenge?
Probably around October-December. Since they are now doing casting for rw 31 which starts around that time so once the challenge might be over we might get the real world afterwards.
First thoughts….. 1. It is completely unfair for Nany’s family to have taken all the beauty genes. Good Lord, her and her cousin are just too pretty. (Yes I am jealous :). 2. Yay! Leroy is back, that boy needs to win one. Such a gracious competitor. 3. Ugh….Bananas. Can’t we get through at least a couples seasons without him?! When is MTV going to stop being his single source of income.
Not just that what does he even bring to the show anymore. Wes, CT, Jordan brung the drama which he is always apart of. They rigged these challenges for him by giving him frank and nany because if he was partnered with anyone else he won’t make a final. We want to see new winners and by casting each season that won’t happen.
Also to add to my comment did anyone else notice that this season might be rigged for Johnny before Abe was Tony’s replacement. If by chance he is partnered with a male partner he is probably athletic. Who would his competition be 3 rookie male teams with no final experience and some of the male/female teams are somewhat strong but would be a unfair advantage in the final or in some elimination rounds.
rigged challenges for him because they gave him frank on rivals 2? if they wanted to rig it for johnny they could have easily made him n CT partners based on all their past beef n paired wes with frank using battle of the seasons clips….or paired johnny with wes…..the fact that they chose to put wes n ct together when johnny could have been either of their partners is an example of them not favoring johnny…
OR on cutthroat when for no reason they brought in CT to eliminate johnny with no real explanaition …
Fresh Meat 3 would be better than Blood Lines! Not sure this sounds like a good Challenge concept. Sounds boring. But so excited that Cara Maria is back!!
This is CamiLas 7th season and people still can’t spell her name !? IT’S ONE L!
It makes me sooo uncomfortable that we don’t know Cara or Johnny’s partner yet! I just wanna know already!!!
Carla’s bloodline is her male cousin Jamie.
Now whose Banana’s bloodline?
Finally is Banana’s Cousin Vinny.
My guess is they’ll have him on the show whether he has a bloodline or not.
Apparently johnnys cousin Vinny is a D1 football player. Not surprised that the most athletic bloodline is johnnys.
Not surprised either. But remember, Tyrie was a D1 football player.
So was MJ.
Its kind of hard to judge tyrie because he never was in a 1 on 1 physical elimination. I feel like in Rivals 1 it came down to how Wes and Davis did because Tyrie was pushing back more in the first round. In Rivals 2 that was Dunbar’s fault.
