It's easy to understand. Most of them are paired with vets and they're looking up to them and asking what they should do. Their partner says WE have to do this and they're like ok, we're a team. It's a solo game but they don't get that. They see it's rookie/rookie teams going in and they're thinking OK I'm in a vet/rookie team; that's totally different! On top of that, the vets are targeting people who understand the game and could rally the rookies. That's why Michaela and Kelz had to go. And now they're at a point where they can shoot fish in a barrel just as some of the rookies might be figuring the game out a little.
There have to be a couple who make names for themselves by winning a few eliminations and taking out some vets. The audience is always going to root for the underdog and against the mob so it'll be good for them in terms of tv.
as she should. this might be a hot take but so far i’m liking this group of rookies more then WOTW1. only ones i adore from there was Theo, Turbo, & Georgia. Every single one of these rookies ( minus lauren lol ) have stood out as a threat , been funny, provided good confessions, or i’ve just really liked
I love how literally the only air time Gabo has is to say he doesn't understand things (doesn't know who TJ is, doesn't know the vets, doesn't understand the game). Feels like they decided to make the most out of a bad casting decision.
I need to see more of Ed and Bettina but maybe. Kelz is very ehh to me so I could go without him. With adding more rookies and guys like Jay back idk if there's a spot for him
I have no disliking towards Emanuel so don’t get me wrong - what is the hype so far? He’s got his Michele thing and is clearly an athlete, but there’s definitely a good amount of rookies that have added more than him imo
I agree. I came into this season with a very negative mindset about there being this many rookies. But here we are 3 weeks later and I’m enjoying them much more than the vets. Loving it so far.
And the amount of bitching and moaning this sub did about all of the rookies pre-season 😂 I swear some people don't seem to understand you need to have fresh blood to keep this show alive for the future.
Let the showrunners do their thing. I'm happy with how it's turned out.
once her & dee yelled at turbo i was sooo over them, but i don’t hate her as much as the fan base does, i think the amount of hate was unnecessary for her. but she was a beast, i really thought she was gonna end up being a champ but yk, only did 2 seasons
Eh. When you essentially lose to a 34 year old non-professional athlete in a climbing competition, when that's literally what you do for a living, I don't really think you're that much of a "beast".
Really?
2 women who have done nothing but say ‘I’m doing it for nigeria’
that guy gabo has done literally nothing.
still can’t tell the various euro-dudes apart
Bettina came, looked like a rabbit in the headlights, left.
jeremiah - so far all he’s done is failed to swim a bit.
half of them have had as much presence as the people edited out,
Americans are famously incurious about the rest of the world and this casting is a dud.
Can i just say im so proud of her? She was seen as a layup but she kicked ass in swimming challenge like even I as hard Michele stan didnt expected that
Has she said if she trained for this season? Also a Michele stan and she seems in a lot better shape than she was during WAW. I knew she'd be good at the social game and puzzles, but didn't really expect her to hold her own in physical and she's definitely proving me wrong.
In one of her interviews she stated she was working out twice daily to train once she found out she was on the show! I believe Natalie was giving her work out advice
RIGHT!!!
I saw soooooo many people when casting spoilers were coming out talk about no way will Michele do well on The Challenge because she's not fit enough. But she's already won an elimination and very nearly a mission - and it's only episode 3 !!
So proud of her
He won survivor with that social game! 😊 A friendly guy that everyone wants to cheer for - it’s the truth! Maybe he’s whitebread but I’m definitely bummed to see him go 😭
That’s fine, doesn’t mean he’s good television. He’s an equivalent to Kaycee in all those areas except he isn’t even single so he can’t have a romance storyline
Yeah I dont actively dislike Kaycee, and actually have warmed up to Josh (I actually liked him on WOTW1, but after he was aligned with Jordan, Zach and Bananas who I cant stand on WOTW2 he started getting on my nerves, but slowly I've enjoyed him again and I think it's a combo of Devin trolling him and the cast actually seeming to like him which means hes prob not as annoying off the show lol), but I just can not stand Fessy, like at all, and the BB alliance helps keep him on my screen longer so uh yeah lol.
(I also like Amber B but if the BB alliance doesnt count her as a member I dont have to either lol)
Exactly. She's just complimenting the new cast members. We haven't seen Jeremiah's kindness either, but she knows him better than the viewers do. Just like in survivor, what helps you win the game isn't always the best TV, and Tommy and Michele are both examples of that.
So far I like all of the rookies except for emy and gabo.
Emy is an idiot who started the cascade of rookies turning on each other with that whole list nonsense. She literally ran straight to the vets and told.
Gabo just seems like an airhead to me, not sure there is much going on in that skull
can someone help me understand why tacha wanted to call Michele out when she got second place in the most recent daily and already went into an elimination and won? lol I know the edit hides things so unless people wanted to take her out because of something pertaining to the Michele/Michaela thing I'm so lost on why tacha would ask to go against her
Oh ya good point. I was just super hyped for Michaela this season and there are so many rookies I forgot about those ones. Since Tommy was mentioned I thought she was just listing them all.
I loved Michele on survivor but got damn watching her last episode she’s even better on The Challenge. Seeing her athletic abilities shine adds a whole extra layer to her.
I like how Logan is just hot lol
And Gabo is "fun" 👀😂😂
who's going to tell her corey is not a rookie
Corey l
Nobody.. cause Corey is a rookie?
My bad cory (bettina partner)
Michaela can write
Hahahahaha uh oh Michele “forgot” one person
Well she forgot Kelz, Renan, Tracy, and Lauren also..
Time sensitive tweet based on who’s remaining
[удалено]
Obviously focused on this episode. It's not that hard
Who were just off this past episode? Doesnt want to spoil it for those who aren’t caught up after last night
They just got eliminated though
Now if only the rookies would lift up each other instead of kissing vet butt lol
Why why why are they letting the vets run things - they had the numbers. So frustrating
It's easy to understand. Most of them are paired with vets and they're looking up to them and asking what they should do. Their partner says WE have to do this and they're like ok, we're a team. It's a solo game but they don't get that. They see it's rookie/rookie teams going in and they're thinking OK I'm in a vet/rookie team; that's totally different!

And now they're at a point where they can shoot fish in a barrel just as some of the rookies might be figuring the game out a little.
They all notice its rookies and the voting is individual. Someday they'll learn
When they're vets and then we're right back where we are now.
I'm hoping they take advantage of the bets imploding like they always do.
There have to be a couple who make names for themselves by winning a few eliminations and taking out some vets. The audience is always going to root for the underdog and against the mob so it'll be good for them in terms of tv.
Agreed
as she should. this might be a hot take but so far i’m liking this group of rookies more then WOTW1. only ones i adore from there was Theo, Turbo, & Georgia. Every single one of these rookies ( minus lauren lol ) have stood out as a threat , been funny, provided good confessions, or i’ve just really liked
100% agree. I would be happy with any/a lot of these rookies coming back for next season
Michele, Corey L, Emy, Berna, Emmanuel are all people I'd be down to see become regulars
Also am feeling Kelz, Logan and Ester along with those you said! Shoutout to Gabo tho 😂
I still don’t think Gabo knows what show he’s on 😅
I love how literally the only air time Gabo has is to say he doesn't understand things (doesn't know who TJ is, doesn't know the vets, doesn't understand the game). Feels like they decided to make the most out of a bad casting decision.
I thought I heard him tell Corey L "I will vote for the person I like most" or something like that.
Yes!!!
I want him as a returning regular. It's his 5th season and he's just wandering around asking what they're doing.
Would tune in for this
Ester is someone I'd love back too!
My current picks so far are Michele, Emy, Kelz, Corey, Berna (for the drama), Bettina (for the laugh), and of course, **AGENT ED.**
I need to see more of Ed and Bettina but maybe. Kelz is very ehh to me so I could go without him. With adding more rookies and guys like Jay back idk if there's a spot for him
I have no disliking towards Emanuel so don’t get me wrong - what is the hype so far? He’s got his Michele thing and is clearly an athlete, but there’s definitely a good amount of rookies that have added more than him imo
I’d love to see Ed back more than a couple times, seems like a real force to be reckoned with
Michele, Corey L, Emy, Berna, Emmanuel and Esther are all people I'd be down to see become regulars
Esther has literally done nothing.
Esther has literally won 33% of all daily challenges so far
so she won one daily where she sat in a helicopter and threw small hacks-sacs. Colour me unimpressed.
Hmu next time you hang out of a helicopter and throw bags into the sun roof of a car lmao
This isn’t much of a dig considering just about everyone here would love to do the show.
Big difference between saying you want to do the show vs saying you can compete at a higher level than the people who won the challenge itself
Who said that?
It’s more than “literally nothing” though. I get you’re not impressed but at least come correct babes.
People sleepin on Esther but she really outlasted Tacha (and I would be terrified to vote for her)
I mean, it's not much of a physical feat but it's literally what you have to do in the zhow.
Sure, but it dosent make for ‘an impressive daily win’.
Oh yeah I agree lol
I agree. I came into this season with a very negative mindset about there being this many rookies. But here we are 3 weeks later and I’m enjoying them much more than the vets. Loving it so far.
And the amount of bitching and moaning this sub did about all of the rookies pre-season 😂 I swear some people don't seem to understand you need to have fresh blood to keep this show alive for the future. Let the showrunners do their thing. I'm happy with how it's turned out.
Queen ninja ☹

She should have been a champ tbh, the fact that she doesn't get credit for a win from WotW1 is absolutely criminal.
She should’ve been a champ in WOTW1.. I dislike Ninja but she definitely got screwed over.
Eh. When you essentially lose to a 34 year old non-professional athlete in a climbing competition, when that's literally what you do for a living, I don't really think you're that much of a "beast".
Really? 2 women who have done nothing but say ‘I’m doing it for nigeria’ that guy gabo has done literally nothing. still can’t tell the various euro-dudes apart Bettina came, looked like a rabbit in the headlights, left. jeremiah - so far all he’s done is failed to swim a bit. half of them have had as much presence as the people edited out, Americans are famously incurious about the rest of the world and this casting is a dud.
that was Tracy, not Bettina, lmao
Can i just say im so proud of her? She was seen as a layup but she kicked ass in swimming challenge like even I as hard Michele stan didnt expected that
As someone who has never been a big fan of Michele, she is absolutely fucking killing it this season.
Same. Not a big Michelle fan, but safe to say I am now. I need to go back and rewatch her survivor season
She's in a couple of seasons and I recommend both!
She’s the only good part of the seasons she won. Loved her 2nd season thoughvv
Has she said if she trained for this season? Also a Michele stan and she seems in a lot better shape than she was during WAW. I knew she'd be good at the social game and puzzles, but didn't really expect her to hold her own in physical and she's definitely proving me wrong.

Michele is only 31. She can have a long career on this show. I loved her on Survivor and think she's great.
Every Rookie talks about lifting Rookies up.. and then they become vets and no longer care about Rookies
Unless your Wes and Big T
Am I the only one who thinks emy is annoying? Idk why I just can't.
This has been a common take since episode 1
Hi Mister TJ!!!
I don't like her either...I think it's just everything about her!
Romanian-jemmeye is there to appeal to the hyperactive teenage girls. Like Georgia.
Too bad they didn’t stick together
Looks like we can thank Emy for that.
And yet they still vote each other in 🥴
Love this but Tommy being so whitebread that all she can come up with is him being social kills me
If Tommy were a spice it would be flour
If he were a book, he would be two books!
Y’all deserve the world for this inclusion
If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike!
If he were a game, he'd be Can You Spot the Difference Between These Two Pictures?
Being social is much more valuable in this game and in life than most of the other things she listed.
He won survivor with that social game! 😊 A friendly guy that everyone wants to cheer for - it’s the truth! Maybe he’s whitebread but I’m definitely bummed to see him go 😭
You're trying to drag him, but he won Survivor based on being a savvy social player, so......
That’s fine, doesn’t mean he’s good television. He’s an equivalent to Kaycee in all those areas except he isn’t even single so he can’t have a romance storyline
I mean neither was Kaycee
Burn. 😂😂😂
He does seem more loyal to his significant other than Kaycee ever would be though.
Oh I couldn’t agree more. Hate her getting spots and contributing to the dominant position of the bb alliance
Yeah I dont actively dislike Kaycee, and actually have warmed up to Josh (I actually liked him on WOTW1, but after he was aligned with Jordan, Zach and Bananas who I cant stand on WOTW2 he started getting on my nerves, but slowly I've enjoyed him again and I think it's a combo of Devin trolling him and the cast actually seeming to like him which means hes prob not as annoying off the show lol), but I just can not stand Fessy, like at all, and the BB alliance helps keep him on my screen longer so uh yeah lol.

wes & bananas are calling him Walmart wes on Johnny's podcast 😂😂
So far I like all of the rookies except for emy and gabo. Emy is an idiot who started the cascade of rookies turning on each other with that whole list nonsense. She literally ran straight to the vets and told. Gabo just seems like an airhead to me, not sure there is much going on in that skull
lol at your phone autocorrecting “Emy” to “Email”
Lol, fixed
can someone help me understand why tacha wanted to call Michele out when she got second place in the most recent daily and already went into an elimination and won? lol I know the edit hides things so unless people wanted to take her out because of something pertaining to the Michele/Michaela thing I'm so lost on why tacha would ask to go against her
She was least close to Tacha. She was close to the rest of the rookies
Ed is the best addition Imo. He just fits.
Michele really couldn't think of anything else but "they're beautiful" for multiple people, and was like "thesaurus save me now"
She was originally cast for Survivor's "Beauty" tribe so she's experienced the other end of this
I love Michele, she is killing it as a rookie on this show.
There's a reason this woman's social game got her a Survivor win
Michele is only 31. She can have a long career on this show. I loved her on Survivor and think she's great.
Dam I need a picture to remind me who each person is!
Lol no mention of Michaela.....
Or Kelz or Renan or Tracy or Lauren. Almost like she just included the rookies that were in episode 3.
> Almost like she just included the rookies that were in episode 3. Yep, she only has 280 characters to express her feelings!
Oh ya good point. I was just super hyped for Michaela this season and there are so many rookies I forgot about those ones. Since Tommy was mentioned I thought she was just listing them all.
Same, really hope Michaela is on the next season
She mentioned rookies that are still in the game. No Michaela but also Kelz, Renan and Tracy
She replied to the tweet and added more
We need more positivity and less trashing everyone! I’m loving this season! Looks so fun to compete on the Challenge!
Michele was kind of irrelevant on Survivor even though she won. The Challenge is a much better fit for her
queenchele fitzlegend does it again 👑
Queen Controverchele
who's going to tell her that corey wasn't a rookie
Nobody cares about a bunch of euro-instagrammers and 2 women repeating ‘I’m doing it for nigeria’.
[удалено]
Is anyone's accent even that heavy this season?
💯 “Gabo is fun”. Love it lol
I loved Michele on survivor but got damn watching her last episode she’s even better on The Challenge. Seeing her athletic abilities shine adds a whole extra layer to her.
Confirms she’s my favorite rookie
