Yt is obv preferred because MTVs ads suck ass
Unlike for hulu, Google ad block blocks those ads on mtv.com.

Did they say that's how it's going to be done? I figured it would either be that or give them some kind of max time per event during the final.

I would assume the not finishing caveat has to apply to the solo challenge only.

No clue how true this is but Jacoby (Grantland Challenge podcast guy) said Roylee works at the casinos and just hangs out at the pool all day to flirt with women that are there for bachelorette parties. Like his job is to flirt with girls and show them a goo time or something, almost like a casino gigolo.

Yeah I just watched this as well. Seems like the timing is good for a Fresh Meat 3. Lots of jaded veterans these days. Also the challenges and exiles in that season have to be the toughest ever.

it's so amazing how well he manages carley. his approach is "well i'm with a lol partner but i want to win so i'll just be a beast and make up for her deficiencies by doing double the work myself."

otoh you see somebody like zach get paired with devyn and he gets ultra mad off the bat and just starts yelling at her and then he drowns.

fwiw I wasn't a huge fan of Fresh Meat 2. It had pretty good political gameplay but the fact Kenny got Laurel and Wes got Mandi just kinda made it sucky.

One thing I did like about that season was they had the "Challenge Dailies" on MTVs website. They did away with these after Cutthroat but they were basically 1-2min unedited clips from inside the house and were pretty good.

They did these from The Island to Cutthroat but did away with them. It was pretty cool because they would show the big fights and blowups mostly unedited...

I dunno the way it unfolds is pretty great. Wes and Ev play it really well but are so enamored with themselves that they underestimate Landon. Kenny lucks into the perfect partner and then runs ridiculously hot in challenges all the while thinking he's pulling some slick political upset and then Landon unexpectedly GOATs while everyone is puffing out their chests. Was highly entertaining imo.

Landon just seems like an actual nice guy who was also a physical beast which is the rarest combo on this show and worked perfectly for him.

I will say The exile sucked. I fast forwarded through those. Having it be the same thing every week was not compelling television.

Spoiler:
Wes and Ev play it insanely well until they overthink themselves and realize they should've just kept throwing in Kenny's friends to pick off all of them (or almost all of them) before making the CJ move. The Jenn double agent thing was too funny as Wes had no clue how to actually manipulate that situation.


The one thing I wish came from FM2 is/was more Noor. I think that guy could've been all sorts awesome physically. Kenny mentioned him in some podcast long after(I think one of the one's that Derrick did) wondering why he was (Noor) was never called back. My guess is that MTV didn't think Noor was interesting enough when the dude would've been going deep in a lot of challenges.

Zach was in a contest called Free Agents and in the biggest moment of maybe his life, gets partnered with by far the worst female. That seems like quite a drastic difference as to Landon's situation.

Have you seen Duel 2? A lot of Landon on that season.

duel 2 is pretty good too. always chaps my ass how the end plays out..

i'm obv on board with FM2 being pretty incredible. i thought the exiles were pretty good just because they were so difficult. obviously if a team had gone in before they had a huge advantage but it can't be said enough how impressive it is/was to complete that thing with carley attached to your hip. much less the final. EV/luke v landon/carley was pretty great as well
