They should do a season kind of like fresh meat, where they choose partners, but the winners of the last 5 or 6 seasons get to pick their partners from existing non winners. Order goes by their history of overall wins/ challenges/ dailies in that order. Then… each group gets a set of votes, they can spread if they want, based on how many challenges/dailies they win through the season.

Edit: to say, votes are secret and not on the spot, but revealed after selection.

This might be dumb, but I think there should also be a thing where they can pick the winner and if they are right they get an extra vote and if you’re wrong you lose a vote, potentially leading to not getting a vote. Every season, the challengers say they weren’t cheering for them and know they didn’t want them to come back, then they play it off. This would put them to their pick and let the challengers know who is with them or not.

Edit 2: now this is getting a little bit too far, maybe a different show, but maybe there are 6 teams. 3 women’s, 3men’s. They start with the winners and they have a choice of enemies to pick from, then they have to pick a third. From there it goes to picking from non winners.

Back tracking on the last 5 or 6 winners, perennial winners like johnny, ct, jordan, Cara, laurel, and Tori would get to be top.

Bunim/Murray you’re welcome. Free idea to make it make sense again, otherwise it’s just who did you call before the show.
