How strong was the first episode? Sounds pretty sick

Is the challenge BACK?

Very strong first episode.

The CHALLENGE is not a place for people in committed relationships.

Midlife crisis Brad is awesome.

Cast looks good from a competitiveness standpoint. Girls have no clear beast but 7-8 look competitive once you get past the lol tier of Marie/Veronica/Jemmye/Kayleigh

Tony and Devin look like they're in shape. They made a bigger deal out of Devin's form but Tony looks like he's trimmed 15-20 lbs from his last appearances.

I was apprehensive about the new people but I think the CHALLENGE really needed new blood. I'd prob prefer a new Fresh Meat version because I think it's usually a good format for a season, but this works fine IMO.

Okay just watched first episode and can confirm that Kyle has lost size, dude used to be way bigger.

Random thoughts:

Cast seems the best in a while, really impressed with most of the rookies (knowing most of them they will start ****ing everyone in a couple episodes, surprised TONY didnt bang 2 or 3 chicks already)

LOLRogan, those deadlifts need some work yo. Impressed with Joss.

BRAD TAPPING THAT ASS.

Huge LOLNICOLE, your makeup weights more than your sorry ass, cant take you seriously when you try to act tough talking during confessionals. Home you go.

No way they would have let bananas go home first day, redemption house was a lock to happen.

SHANE!

Marie going all in first night with Kyle and trying to rally the rooks against cara was dope, shame she is drawing dead to make it far given her actual competition skills are 0. She was also HAMMERED.

Nice of the producers to give Jemmye so much air time knowing that shell go **** herself pretty soon, gotta milk those comments while you can.

I got Natalie a CUTE. She also obv run some sims and is playing the gto strat of ****ing producer JOHN.

Daily CHALLENGE was great, a mini final first day. Love it.

NO ****ING ANEESSA, **** YEAH.

Can anyone name a better first episode to a season ever?

We got a mini-final.
Finally got some new blood.
New blood females are attractive.
New blood guys look like competitors.
We already got rid of one of the two Nicole's.
Divorced BRAD is sleeping up with a girl half his age before he actually sleeps.
Hell even Marie had a hell of a start to the season.
We finally have a season where bananas doesn't auto-start with enough people to form an alliance that nearly guarantees him safety for the first half of the season - he is going to actually have to try to politic this season.

Lol sick I’m so pumped to watch this

BIG TIME BACK

Is brad noticeably on the ROIDS

Guess he’s not working at a random insurance company in the burbs anymore

You must have missed the season preview at the end of the episode. Jordan, Derrick, Tori, Aneesa, and FRANK among a couple others return dressed in black for some sort of midseason twist.

By far the best opening episode to a season I can remember. I have been bitterly dissapointed in the Champs vs Stars episodes, but I can confidently say the Challenge is back!

I did... Im already laughing my dick off thinking about TEEJ dropping the "to be the best you have to beat the best" line and Aneesa walking out.

He was probably making like 50k a night DJing in his prime. No way would he have done the challenge then.

yeah, he's got the full 6 pack w/ gut going on

$50k, is that serious?

Pauly D was making 10M a year for a while.

About to fire this up

DUDD

TUQ

CDL

Where is everyone at

Damn they’re getting right into it

Nicole getting last would be an elite way to start the season

Damn JOHN is single

Lol joss is ****ing hauling ass

Wowwwww Shane is still elite. Forgot how sick he is

JOSS

SHANE

Lol John

Lollll bye Nicole.

Thank god

Tony looks weird. His face is fat as **** or something

BRADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Strong ep. joss looks sick. JOHN was spitting a bit of game

Lol Kailah
Lol John

BRAD

As crazy as It sounds i would take the over. Its crazy how much money DJs used to make 5/6 years ago (no idea how much they make now)

People like deadmau5 were getting 150/200 a gig.

Wouldnt be surprised if prime Pauly was on something like 100k/gig for a while.

That was a better episode than any of the dirty 30 ones

Solid post.

Hahaha.

Having a crazy week. Got through most of the ep last night. I love Brad so much, coupled with no Aneesa (or at least for now, ugh) already makes this season way WAY better than the last one.

For the most part the new people don't seem as tool-ish as most of the AYTO clowns.

Kailah still annoys the **** out of me with her constant bitchface screeching, Britni isn't much better, and Nicole will be super annoying once she gets more screen time, but whatever. Too bad they can't replace those three with Emily, Laurel, and Averey.
