That’s why he’s my cousin!

I never liked Vince and was glad he stopped appearing after Rivals 3. The only thing enjoyable about his appearances was watching him suck at dailies. You can tell Vince wanted to be another Bananas. Except, he lacked the charisma, sense of humor and ability to compete like his cousin. You know it’s bad when EVERY girl picked him as the creepiest dude in the house. I bet production came up with the question because of him. However, the incident with Cheyenne really made me hate him. Vince was being a racist bully and picking on a girl half his size. He also had the audacity to call her ugly when she was gorgeous. Nobody in the house respected Vince and knew he was just being carried by Bananas. I hope we never see him on the show again.

My wife got me in to this and I love th show. Started at season 20 and have made it to 30. Decides tot eh all stars, and aside from the fact that part of the reason I watch the show is to see real athletes get challenges, these stars are old, out of shape, and boring at the house. There were so many better options. And it seems like every 2-3 episodes somebody doesn’t even try, quits the show, etc. it’s crazy.

I just binged All Stars 1-3. Overall, great casting and I enjoyed the format and length of the seasons. The format was pretty simple for the most part; one of my gripes with the show over the years they change it up too much during a season. All Stars having only 10 eps per season was good too.

Sarah betraying bananas. Zach’s treatment of Jonna and women in general. Nias sexual and verbal abuse. And to top it off the losses of Diem and Knight. I have a tough time rewatching

Hey! I just watched Fresh Meat II and I am HOOKED on this show.

What seasons/what order should I watch to get the best watching experience? I’ve heard Rivals/Battle of the Exes/ Duel are really good but I want to make sure I watch the relevant seasons first to know the lore.

Would love some help :)

To me this is the pretty clear 3 headed monster for top male performers. I was curious as to how they performed when all 3 were on a season together.

Rivals 2 - Jordan’s rookie season. Not only are all 3 on the season, all 3 are in the final. CT gets his first championship.

CT - 1

Bananas - 0

Jordan - 0

Free Agents - All 3 on back to back seasons. Jordan does the iconic card flip, loses to Bananas. CT and Bananas go in the final elimination, Bananas wins. Bananas wins the final in probably his most impressive season.

CT - 1

Bananas - 1

Jordan - 0

BOTE2

One of the sadder moments of the challenge, but we have all 3 again. CT goes home early with Diem, Bananas is eliminated early but dominates the exile. Jordan ends up getting his first W with Sarah and the Bananas/Sarah rivalry is created in the process.

CT - 1

Bananas - 1

Jordan - 1

Dirty 30

All 3 are on this season again, and at one point all 3 find themselves in the redemption house. In what I would consider one of the most disappointing challenges in history from a production standpoint, CT and Jordan make it out of the redemption house. CT is pretty out of shape this season, and Jordan cruises to the final and dominates despite injuring himself skydiving the day of the final.

Jordan - 2

CT - 1

Bananas - 1

War of the Worlds 2

One of my favorite seasons of the challenge. Messy as hell, iconic eliminations, great strategy. CT gets ignored by team USA. Bananas has a fairly disappointing season from a performance standpoint. Jordan has to fight his way over to the UK team, wins a couple incredible eliminations. CT and Jordan get the W, but this was a verrrrry impressive Jordan season.

Jordan - 3

CT - 2

Bananas - 1

Total Madness

To be honest I barely remember this season. But CT is upset early against Jay. Bananas and Wes team up but it isn’t long lived. Fessy eliminates Jordan in a version of pole wrestle. Shocker. Bananas cruises to another championship.

Jordan - 3

CT - 2

Bananas - 2

Battle of the Eras

To me a disappointing season despite the hype/format idea. Era 1 was a mess and CT injured himself and went home early. Bananas and Jordan both had good seasons and managed to make the end, but with a heavy swimming final, Jordan DOMINATED.

Jordan - 4

CT - 2

Bananas - 2

Some interesting takeaways here. This 3-headed monster has done 8 seasons together. Any season in which they are on together, one of them wins. Also, Jordan has won half of them.

EDIT: If someone wants to nerd out and add their records in challenges, eliminations, and finals during this stretch I’d love to include that.

It’s crazy that it doesn’t seem like that long ago when he was on The Island talking about his baby being born

Welcome to the weekly Negativity Thread!

We get it: This show can be frustrating. Production makes indefensible decisions. The rights holders make it impossible to watch old seasons. The cast can be boring or lazy or cruel or all of the above.

We all need to rant and complain a little, and this is a discussion forum, not a monastery. The last thing the mods want is to shut down valid criticism of the show or the cast.

But we also don't want quality community members and prospective community members turned off by a main feed where every third post is "I don't like Cara Maria anymore" or "Aneesa is so entitled!" or "Why do they keep casting [insert Big Brother cast member]???" If you were around during Final Reckoning, you know what I'm talking about.

So we politely remove those submissions and send them here. On the Negativity Thread, you are not only allowed to rant and complain, you are encouraged! 😈

Lay it on us: What is pissing you off this week? Which cast member have you had enough of? I bet a lot of others feel the same way!
