    Can we draft before April 3? I leave the country then and miss this premier, GoT, and other amazing things.

    Sorry, didn't see a new thread and didn't see the old one had been updated. I think it can handle a new thread though.

    Fine with me; it's not like Fantasy Sports when people might get cut, traded, or injured at the last minute. I started a league, if folks are interested, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send out an invite. Last time, we had Moss, Headspace, and myself, would be nice to get at least 4 this time. And really, any number up to about 7 would work OK. There are 28 contestants this time, I'd like to have at least 4 each.

    LOL CT and Aneesa...they gotta be close to 33-35 now? Also, the girls of Real World: Cancun are collectively the hottest cast and I will argue with anyone that says different.
    Spoiler: show
    I won't really argue but I think they are damn hot.

    Emilee has a nice body but kind of a weird face, obviously hot though. Jonna is weird looking and nothing special at all. Jasmine is scrawny. Other chick wasn't bad.

    Mr. Beautiful (Headspace): CT, Zach, Camila, Theresa, Isaac, Cara Maria, Chet, Jessica, Emilee

    This Draw gimmick is intense and the preview for the whole season made it look like Jordan goes balls out and picks all the cards to go against someone (Bananas).

    Aside from that, the scoring seems weird, but didn't seem like much hooking up in this episode to get bonus points? Seems like all the points were for winning the challenges/not being eliminated. Was planning on Chet being a dark horse pick, but welp.

    My team blows

    edit: 2013 was the best year for lemons

    Just watched ep. 1, thoughts:

    Love the overall set-up. Some solo challenges, some duo challenges, some team challenges - great variety. Shouldn't be any throwing of challenges because of the randomness factor, which is also set up well since there is no chance of it being pre-arranged.

    The rest of season preview looks great. Jordan challenge looks EPIC.

    I do like this format. The one thing I didn't like about episode 2 was that the winning team had to choose from the teams that didn't make the bottom 4, meaning one team had to come from the bottom 4, and the other from the 8 teams that didn't lose. The winners should have been able to pick any of the other teams. Had they picked one of the bottom 4, that person just doesn't go into the draw.

    I agree - that's a small quirk though. I didn't understand the selecting by Cohutta and Laurel; weren't they supposed to agree on one person? What if they had selected different people? It showed "votes" and Johnny asked them separately for each person for some reason.

    Other random thoughts:

    -Jessica is the worst
    -What is with Emilee (and Jessica) throwing themselves at Dustin? Are they not aware of his gayporny past?
    -Both challenges have been solid, although the stairs portion of the first one was a bit strange in execution. Both eliminations have been great, especially the wall climb
    -Nany and Camila are two of the biggest lunatics of all time

    We need to make bets all winners get there name in each upcoming thread just like the sports. Can you still watch these on mtv.com?

    Another thing that is crazy is this new blood young fit mother fuckers mostly take a shit in these challenges. I know the politics are involves but but fuck I assume when you get voted they through you in a it with a competitor as the other ones I never understand how that same wins all the time, btw who won last year wasn't it The Challenge: Rivals or some shit?

    Jonny B has to make this as his living but fuck he better make some plans he's gettin old
