So, I started watching the CHALLENGE when SE got everybody on the bandwagon, so all I've seen is Rivals II/Free Agents/Exes II. Downloaded Battle of the Seasons and am about 2/3rds of the way through it, and man, FRANNNNNNNK has to be one of the greatest characters in reality show history, what a ****ing lunatic. Going after Nany's sister for being a heroin addict, damn son, that's hateful
That was excellent. I don't remember what exactly was said but the zito/frank exchange was amazing as well. I'm very jealous you can crank thru the older seasons. New seasons still awesome but like everything looking back on those casts and seeing all the talent/entertainment is something we prob won't ever see again
That said battle of the seasons wasn't all too great
I cranked through the Duel before this. Felt weird, it's only a half hour, they're giving away NHL tickets, Bananas was a rookie who got sent home the very episode, it was very bizarre.
Fresh meat was right before the duel iirc. I wouldn't go back further than that. That introduces all the main players leading up to the challenge today.
That's actually prob a good one to watch if you have the time
Then most after that are all pretty good/entertainining. Think most will agree. The island is in that timeframe that is a unique season/format. Some didn't like that one but I enjoyed it.
Oh man, Zach's four man team just threw a team of two into an elimination instead of a team of four when there has been a huge advantage in almost every challenge for the teams still with four members. What a bunch of mental midgets.
I heard a podcast a few weeks back where they talked to Kenny and he wanted to come back for this season but they wouldn't pay him what he wanted. I'm sure he'll be back in a coming season.
This is my first season, but in between Tuesdays, we're also watching Rivals 2. We came upon R2 entirely randomly, but we're obv going to finish it like tomorrow or something. What are some of the better seasons to binge on once we're done R2?
Fresh meat
Duel 2
Inferno 3
Gauntlet 3 so you can witness the strongest team in the history of a final get face ****ed by the biggest loser to ever come on the show
Fresh meat 2 to witness prob the greatest feat in challenge history
Cutthroat to see the greatest single challenge moment in history.
Rivals to see the goat return
After that is kinda when it turns to modern challenge. Still goat show but starts losing some key guys. Those are some after fresh meat that Id recommend the strongest. I may have missed one or two and someone can fill in. Every season after fresh meat would be awesome if you had the time. All just awesome
Battle of the seasons featured FRANNNNK in full form but can't remember one more underwhelming than that one
Re: duel 2. You get to see ~murder on the first episode I think it is too.
Duel is also amazing. I left that off. Right after fresh meat was the duel. It's just pure domination. The ending is so ****ed too. Man that season still rustles me. Great season but ending sucked
